Discovery (Event)

[harmonizenpc]

Who: Persona-users, Sayuri, ensemble NPC cast.
Where: Various.
When: Saturday, May 6, homeroom.
What: Something isn't right.


The Friday after Golden Week had come and gone without much fanfare. Things had rapidly returned to normal, save for some chatter about students' various adventures over the holiday.

Starting out, Saturday looked to be much the same, by and large. Students in 1-ho, 2-ni, and 3-ha might have thought it odd that they had substitute teachers for homeroom, particularly given that their regular teachers been present the previous day, but most shrugged it off without a second thought.

Snuck into the homeroom announcements was another blink-and-you'll-miss-it peculiarity: members of the Critical Thinking class were to report to the auditorium at the end of homeroom for a mandatory guest lecture.

Such events weren't unheard of; Chitoku's brochures had even mentioned them as a selling point. To the student body at large, this was simply the first thus far.

No doubt the students being called knew better.

Mirai looked neither thrilled nor dismayed by Yachiyo's assignment of a classmate. He could only see that Minoru might keep him on his toes because he was a meddler. He could imagine how his classmate would take to the other world, as though he were on some mission. He could hear Suzuki talking about the emperor now. He hoped he wouldn't.

He hoped simply that Minoru would be a good thick wall. He could see how he could convince the other boy it was his civic duty. So would the adults with the guns, he thought. And so he had Minoru ready to wrap around his finger and ready to do anything in his defense.

But the part he had to play forced him to stay calm all the same. He walked through the portal with a frown and cast Yachiyo a glance. His half-closed eyes turned on the group - then he was gone.

"Yes, sensei," Minoru replied, marking his obedience with a salute, though not as cheerful as he may have been. Not because of the company, he seemed indifferent if not dispassionate to be with Mirai, but the task at hand, a disappearance, was serious, and he seemed capable of regarding it as such.

He did, however, scowl a bit at the frown Mirai gave to his teacher.

No respect in this world. Perhaps in the other one, Imaizumi would prove to have some redeeming qualities.

Chloe merely gave Yachiyo a resolute nod, her piercing gaze flickering to Kisa for only a moment before she strode from the room at a very brisk pace. While not technically jogging or running, her long legs meant she had long strides, and that gave her speed. As she passed Mirai, the look she gave him was a strange one. It was not a look of hostility, as one might expect after the Archery incident. It was actually more akin to an uneasy 'Be careful.' than anything. They didn't know much about the other world yet, and with this weird stuff happening and this bad feeling in her gut, they all needed to be careful.

Meet Ihoji at the dorms. Find Miyume. With those instructions all but burned into her mind, Chloe was on her way as inconspicuously as a ridiculously tall German girl in Japan could be towards the girls dorms. She tried to keep her stride steady but looked back to make sure Kisa was keeping up alright.
