Re: Suitors and Sweethearts IC {HSHC}
Haruka noted that the one girl she had seen earlier who had the unfortunate accident was missing. Perhaps Haruka should have said something. There was likely something in the costumes that she could wear maybe even a copy of the school uniform.

Re: Suitors and Sweethearts IC {HSHC}
The shuffling and hands on work you perform to get your friends together works, and with a little jostling there is an empty seat left, and Kotone spots it, slinging her bag over the back of the chair and then sliding into her seat. As she does, her hair swishes around and you pick up the smell of cherry blossoms. And your friends have seemed to pick up on something as well, because one of them makes a whispered comment, and the other snorts trying to stifle a laugh.
A couple of the kids are shoving groups around, trying to make a clear spot for themselves, and you sneak in and snag a chair, not quite all the way in the back. But once you sit down, the guys shoving everyone around don't seem to notice you and you get left to your own devices.
Which, as it turns out, is fortuitous, because Kotone walks by you, and sits in the chair right behind you, the smell of cherry blossoms following in her wake.
Unfortunately, just as Menna says this, a group of kids gets shoved from where they were trying to get window seats, and end up taking the desks around where you trying to get Kotone to sit. She gives youan apologetic shrug, and a bow of her head in acknowledgment of your gesture, before moving on. Two of the boys next to you sigh and seem utterly stricken as Kotonoe goes past you all, the smell of cherry blossoms following in her wake.
Alas, when a school requires a uniform, you are dressed the same as everyone else, and so you cannot make yourself stand out. And so, you are forced to watch helpless as Kotone heads for the rear of the room, where she is able to find a seat.
Hannah gets plenty of looks as she tries to use the too small jacket to cover herself as she makes her way to school to try and get a new uniform. When she arrives in the office, she is greeted by the staff, who immediately take in her state and begin going through boxes of uniforms to find something appropriately sized.

Menna smiles and waves at Fujiwara to show that there were no hard feelings, then opens up a notebook marked at the front for… the class they were currently in.
She waits for her name to be called, and once she has the teacher’s attention assured him:

Re: Suitors and Sweethearts IC {HSHC}
Naomi enjoys the smell of concentrated spring wafting from the girl as she takes her seat. He shoots the snickering guys a look before rolling his eyes. ”Hey, the guitarist from the park! Miss Fujiwara, right?” His tone in school is decidedly more formal than it was in the park.

Haruka glanced and shrugged. Kids never wanted to sit in front anyways. Well, she'd have to figure out a way to talk to her again later. She noted class was about to start.

Re: Suitors and Sweethearts IC {HSHC}
"Gokigenyo*, Fujiwara-san", Sakura greets the newcomer with a smile and a small nod, half-turning in her seat to face her, "I'm Hijisaki Sakura; would you have a minute a talk - at the next break, perhaps?"
That's unfortunately all she has time to say, as the teacher finally appears and Sakura immediately faces him (her?). decorum is paramount, and her conduct in class must be nothing less but perfect.

Re: Suitors and Sweethearts IC {HSHC}
“I see,” the teacher says. “Noble of you. I hope you get it back.”
You enter the classroom late, and as you open the door, everyone turns to look at you. Though you note a silver haired girl who eyes you appreciatively as you take the only other seat available. In the front of the class.
Thats me. she confirms as she pulls a battered old notebook from her bag and opens it up, revealing what looks like entire pages of what might be music. Or random drawings. Hard to say since she flipped through so quick.
As you mull over how to attract the attentions of Kotone, the classroom door opens, and a girl walks in who looks like she is possibly one or two deep breaths away from popping the buttons on her uniform. The only other seat available is next to you.
Kotone is flipping through an old notebook covered in notes and music. She forcibly crosses out a line. Then she frowns and scratches over the entire page for a moment before turning to a new sheet.
I suppose it would depend on what you wanted to talk about, she responds. Her tone of voice carries none of the politeness yours does.

Seeing the girl sitting next to her, Haruka whispered "Welcome to Geek Row. Oh, you're the girl with the....ummm.....clothing problem." She might be able to assist her with an outfit for home at least. "Sit carefully. The boys don't need a show."

Re: Suitors and Sweethearts IC {HSHC}
The first real break comes after two classes. Everyone gets up to take care of whatever they need to, whether it’s the bathroom or having a snack, or just stretching their legs and shaking off the tiredness that comes from full time education.
Kotone gets up and leaves the classroom, heading for the vending machines, making this an idea chance to try and get some conversation in.

Re: Suitors and Sweethearts IC {HSHC}
Realazing where exactly Fujiwara heads to, Sakura wastes no time in following her and starting to talk just as Kotone starts looking over the assortment of drinks.
"My treat", she says, pulling the card out of her wallet, "please, don't hesitate... and don't consider it me trying to buy a friendship. It's just I feel bad about not getting a chance to tip you earlier today... I have to say, though, Blackmore's Night - an unusual choice, here in Japan..."

Menna is quick to follow, books tucked under her arms.
"Hi Fujiwara. I don’t mean to be hounding you, but I wanted to extend the offer to study together again. We have so many classes in common, and I don’t really know anyone here, you know?"

Re: Suitors and Sweethearts IC {HSHC}
Naomi doesn’t worry too much about impressing Kotone specifically. Rather, he spends the free period chatting up everyone in class and introducing himself.
“Wait, Miyagawa? Like, those Miyagawas?” “So you’re, like, loaded.” “Wait, you’re a boy?” “Are you dating anyone?”
Naomi soon finds himself the center of a small throng of students. ”Yes, those Miyagawas. No, my parents are. Today, yes. No, I’m single right now,” the boy says, not enjoying the sudden surge in attention but not visibly upset by it either.

Haruka decided to bide her time at the moment. She knew her genres well and this was not a fight that would be won in a day. Instead she decided to prepare the lovely something nice for later. She didn't know much about her but her love of music clearly could be something she could use when she went to the music department later. Haruka decided to stop there and talk to the head music teacher.

Re: Suitors and Sweethearts IC {HSHC}
Most of them are too busy stumbling over their words to realize that Hannah is running circles around them with her logic. The few that manage to put up a fight soon find themselves outclassed as well.
As Kotone walks by, she tilts her head as she listens to the conversations. Hannah can't be sure what Kotone thinks, but she doesn't have long to consider it because she feels the fabric of her uniform beginning to strain.
Kotone strides by, heading for the vending machines. But before Naomi can actually do anything, one of the other students (a shorter girl) blurts out, "But you're looking for a girlfriend right? What kind?"
Did Kotone's stride break for just a moment?
Kotone is digging inside a pocket of her uniform as Menna talks to her.
Her head snaps up in surprise.
Oh! Uhh... right. I'll, uhh... I'll keep it in mind, okay? Excuse me, she says, holding up the handful of change she successfully pulled from her pocket. Gotta get a snack quick. Talk to you later though?
As Sakura pulls the card out, she hears the unmistakable sound of a coin being accepted by the change slot of the machine.
Oh, uh, thanks? I guess? But I've already got my money in... But thank you for the gesture, okay?
She pushes a button on the machine and a moment later, she pulls a blue colored soda from the slot and pops it open.
Nothing unusual about it. Music is music. What the words are, what the song is? Doesn't matter. It's how you get the audience to feel. That is what makes it special.
She starts to walk off, but turns back long enough to say, Seriously though. Thanks for the offer for a drink.
Haruka heads for the music rooms, hoping to learn something about Kotone, but the teacher gives her a look of sheer incredulity.
"I don't know any Fujiwara Kotone. Is she a new first year? And I don't recognize you either. You must be a new student as well. Are you going to be in music classes this year? Or perhaps one of the clubs?"

Hannah freezes, and lifts her arms to support her chest.

Re: Suitors and Sweethearts IC {HSHC}
It's... actually a good thing, all things considered, that Kotone left so quickly. After all... Sakura was used to being in control. To her life being planned out, regular, consistent. She really didn't mean anything but repaying her dabt from this morning by that offer. But... when she heard Kotone explaining her approach to music, something... changed. A little. It would take much more to make the heiress of the Hijisaki family to lose control. And still... it was a good thing Kotone didn't see Sakura's heart skip a bit and her cheeks turning red... for just a moment.
Quickly calming herself down, getting herself a can of juice and drinking it... just a bit more hastily than she's used to, Sakura headed back to the classroom... now there was time to get familiar with the rest of the class. There was one surname she was familiar with... as well as some more interesting personalities, from what brief experience she had in the first two hours of the day.Tome of Radiance, a Magical Girl sourcebook for 3.5/PF.
