Summary: Where the heck did all these extra classmates come from anyway?

[It's not uncommon for a teacher to not know all of the students in a school but when it's their own class then there's definitely a problem there, especially after having taught the cram class for so long with the same group of people.

Yukio is sitting at one of the tables in CH1's kitchen just waiting for people to show up after having contacted the True Cross students he knew about and asking for them to arrive asap. He's writing out a class roster whilst waiting just to make sure he knows who was in his class. It hasn't been that long since he was brought here so he can't have forgotten anyone...

Natsuno definitely sat towards the back, right?]

[blessingone]

[Shiemi mentioned that Mr. Okumura had asked for the other two True Cross students to meet him -- okay, technically she called him by her nickname for him and she didn't actually specify how many other students but it was automatic to convert the name to a more standard name for a student to call him and it wasn't like there were more than three students in the village -- so Fenimore makes sure to turn up. She's even dug out her school uniform for the occasion. And the SMG, which makes a kind of strange picture for people not used to either exorcist school missions (since she didn't exactly bring it to class, unlike Rin and his sword) or Battle Royale.

Which is to say, in shorter terms, that a blonde twintailed student is popping in.]

Good morning, Mr. Okumura.

[deceases]

[ Meeting up, huh? It mostly just sounded like a bother the moment Natsuno heard of it, but not going would surely cause him to be bothered even more, so in the end going was less of a pain. Natsuno is looking as casually apathic as ever though, and despite the fact that he pulls a hand through his hair when he walks into the place it remains unruly like it hasn't seen a comb in a long time.

First he spots Yukio sitting there - of course - before he eyes the girl standing there.. who was she? Ah, well, not like it mattered. Surely someone would mention it sooner or later. ]

... Hey.

[sharpness]

Ah, good morning.

[Oh she came in uniform and everything. That's wonderful, and it looks even better when compared to that mess of a person who seems to have no desire to be here at all walking on in behind her. The blonde hair makes him curious for a moment, but when you consider people like Shura and Bon, well, blonde hair seems a lot more normal.]

Please fill in your seat and name on this roster. I'm sorry to say I don't recognise you as being a part of my class despite what you're wearing today. [...] You too Natsuno. [If you can be bothered to check if where Yukio wrote down your name was correct.]

/puts up new thread for this

[rashness]

[And then Rin was late.

...There's actually a lot more context to it than this but what is the long and the short of it is that about thirty minutes later than the planned time to show up is when Rin shows up, despite it literally being right outside of his door and living with the guy who set the meeting time. Why? Well, he went to go pick up Aoba and got distracted by showing Aoba this gorgeous new manga he found about Otter Yakuza. The point is that, thirty odd minutes late Rin (with his puppy behind him) bursts into the kitchen and-]

Alright, just in time!

[Aoba will reply to this, anyone else can reply to Aoba and we'll go from there]

[penetrated]

[Okumura-senpai has such fascinating tastes...

Aoba himself looks a little bashful as he follows after Rin; he'd planned on showing up earlier so that he could chat with Okumura-sensei (he even brought a massive book on Buddhist scripture in case he got bored waiting!) and then... Rin showed up. At which point his thought process somehow went from "Ahh, I really need to show up on time!" to "Don't give in, Kamakiri-san! Peace between the two Otter factions is possible!"

He really can't pass up having time with his idol, huh... Anyway, chasing after Rin like a puppy, yes.]

We are...?

[sharpness]

Don't burst in thinking you've made it when you're already thirty minutes late.

[SLACKERS. ALL OF YOU. And where the hell is Rin getting all this manga from? He's made two trips in the past now and it seems someone is clearing it all out before he has the chance to find any. But that's a mystery that can be solved another day.

For now he's turning his attention from Rin and focusing on Aoba.]

Good morning. [That's quite the book you have there.] You're one of the students I've meant to have taught, yes? [Why couldn't he have had you instead of slacker number two?]

[penetrated]

Ehe... [So yes, they're late. He feels really bad about disappointing his teacher like this, but how could he have not read the fascinating tale of Razumei-chan inheriting her father's will? His senpai's just way too cool to ignore!

And yes, he's the studious sort. Though, hearing that kind of question from someone he's known this long is a little... he'll need to act super-formal, and make a good 'first' impression!]

That's right, Okumura-sensei! Aoba Kuronuma, present!

[shamelessness]

[Shiemi actually decides to wear her school uniform to this meeting. Not only that, but she's not really saying much at the beginning. So many people who think they should be in the Cram School! Honestly she just wants to meet them all. She has so many potential friends to meet, so she's glad that Yukio chose to call this meeting.]

[penetrated]

[Ah, Shiemi-chan's here? In this sea of unfamiliar faces, that's quite the comfort! So, setting himself up next to her...]

Hey, Moriyama-chan. I haven't seen in you in your uniform for a while.

[shamelessness]

[The blond offers him a smile. She'll be warm and friendly (if a bit shy) even if-]

I- I'm not sure I remember you, sorry.

[penetrated]

[Headtilt...]

Eh, this really is weird... I'm Aoba Kuronuma, who sits behind Miwa-san?

[deceases]

[ There's no way Natsuno loiters for long near the main group. Really, the moment he's practically fulfilled Yukio's expectations of what he was here for he just seeks out a corner of the area, flopping down on a chair and staring a little around him - possible eyeing the others at times, but never for too long. Really, he's just looking bored. ]

[shamelessness]

[When Natsuno looks over at the group Shiemi happens to catch his eye. She doesn't recognize this guy either, but she's a little concerned he's isolated himself. Why won't you come over?]

[deceases]

[ ... Hm? It's almost like someone is staring at him-- .. ah, that girl. He's stubborn enough (or rather, uncaring enough) to just keep sitting where he is right now though, but he does speak up. ]

What, Moriyama? Is something wrong?

[shamelessness]

[It's so strange to have people she doesn't know calling her name like that. Do Celebrities feel like this sometimes? When she snaps out of that little thought process she answers:]

N-no! Not at all!

[penetrated]

[ Another person he doesn't recognise... Ah! Could it be that they feel excluded by what's going on here? As someone who came in late, he should atone by making them feel welcome!

... Wave!! ]

[deceases]

[ ... oh no, now one is waving at him. He should have realised that sitting alone equals 'please come and talk to me' in these people's language..

So he just.. casually raises a hand, as if greeting back. That's enough effort, right?! ]

[penetrated]

[ It's more like encouragement, really! Now he's smiling at him!! ]

[rashness]

Oiiii! Oiiii!

[With a wave. You, there, in the back. Hi.]

[deceases]

[ ... oh. Right. This guy. Loudmouth coming in.. ]

What's it, Okumura? [ yes, he gets the doubtful honor of being referred to with his last name rather than Yukio. ] No need to make such a fuss.

[rashness]

Well you're looking there being bored or whatever.

[...and he's wondering if this guy is afraid of him. After all, all of his classmates were for a long time, even if it's sort of better now]

[blessingone]

[Fenimore is here in her uniform (as a way to say "screw you I belong here too" to the people who have seemingly forgotten her) and SMG (as a way to...okay that's not as good a way to show she belongs but it sort of works). She's kicking her heels -- more out of awkwardness than boredom -- and playing with her cell phone, though she looks up from time to time to glance around the room. ...Yeah, she still only recognizes about half these people.]

[penetrated]

[Ahh, all of these people he's meant to have forgotten! Or that's how he's thinking of it, anyway. He should probably be intimidated by the weaponry, but he's just going to approach her and use it as a conversation point!]

Ah, so you're a Dragoon, Miss?

[blessingone]

[She looks up at him from her cell, flipping it shut. Another person she doesn't recognize. But this one called her "miss," implied she might be a Dragoon already, and generally seems much more polite than the previous one. Better! Granted, Natsuno hasn't said anything that impolite...so far...but she can be touchy.]

Yes, I a -- [hesitation, and a small sigh] Well...not exactly. I'm still an Esquire. But I'm going to be one.

Are you another student? [It seems a safe guess.]
