Rating:
With the help of some friends and friends of friends, the school cafeteria has been transformed into a meeting space. Rows of chairs and a few benches fill the space, providing adequate seating for whoever wishes to come to the meeting.

Along the back are some tables set with cookies, pastries, and tea, juice, and coffee for people to munch and sip on, before, during, and after the meeting

By the entrance is another table. On it sits a locked box with a slit on top, small sheets of blank paper, and a few pencils and pens. This is the message box, for anyone who wishes to express an idea or thought in an anonymous manner. The box will later be opened and all the messages inside will be read out loud by Ginia.

At the front sits a platform - one of the ones built for A Midsummer Night's Dream - with a table and chair resting on top. It's where Ginia will sit during the meeting, the extra height for the purpose of being able to see anyone who may be seated in the back row.

... Not particularly.

[He shrugs a little helplessly.]

... S-Social situations like th-this are... stressful to me...

[lostinmyway]

Really?

[It's only completely obvious this is entirely beyond her comprehension.]

[semper_cogitans]

Yes... [He nods a little awkwardly.] M-Much of the time, it is... because I am... always anxious that I will... s-say something incorrect, or...

[... well, the constant fear of judgment.]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, I'm sure you'll do just fine. There's nothing to worry about.

[semper_cogitans]

[That would be easy for him to believe if he wasn't socially-phobic.]

I... am a-afraid that it is... not that simple, for me.

[lostinmyway]

Why not?

[semper_cogitans]

Because... I am... a-afraid. Irrationally so.

[Does Grune know what it's like, to be afraid even when it makes no sense to be?]

[lostinmyway]

[As she is now, there is quite literally nothing Grune is afraid of. She doesn't understand in the slightest.]

Why are you afraid?

[semper_cogitans]

...

... I am... a-afraid of people.

N-Not specific people... s-such as yourself... but, b-but people in general...

[Being around people, feeling their eyes on him, not knowing whether they judge him when they look at him, not knowing if the smiles on their faces are real or masked disdain -]

...

It... is... h-hard to explain, if... if you do not... f-feel it yourself...

[lostinmyway]

[She's honestly trying, but trying to understand anxiety when everyone is your friend...well.]

But no one here would want to hurt you. They all want you to do well.

[semper_cogitans]

... It... is a f-fear that... stems from... from nothing other than... a-anticipation.

I... I expect people to act a certain way, i-irrationally or otherwise...

... a-and, feeling any other way is... d-difficult. [Nearly impossible, sometimes.]
