"Suspicious? Haha! It's not like they're secret spies or anything." Hanami waves off Sumeryu's assessment. "Though I get what you mean. I think they just need time to come out of their shell. Especially the boy. He didn't even say his name when introducing himself..." She crosses her arms.

She looks at Ibuki. "Hmph. That's the point, right? Get it out of your system now so you can integrate into human society properly once you leave this academy. You won't do yourself any favors by trying to hold yourself back."

Lín Jìng abandons Rikishi, at least for now, and turns to Hanami "Oh no, he did introduce himself. Raiga. Raiga Kongou."

"Raiga Kongou... That's a nice name. Did he say anything else about himself? His interests, his hometown, anything?" Hanami asks eagerly, leaning in close to Lin. "Just how tall is he?"

"Meh, he seems to be leaning into the strong silent type, even more so than your dragon prince. Does not look like talking is his forte. Who knows, maybe his forte is being locked for seven minutes in heaven. Then again, a bit crude for that. Then again then other again," she grows increasingly annoyed with each next word, "It's not like there is a lot of fish in this pond. I've been told this is an equal opportunity institution, but the opportunity is most certainly not equal: dragon prince over there is living the life, while and I had to make my own opportunities so far," she waves exasperatedly in Rikishi's direction, calming down. "The hype about this place being full of fanciable bishies? Wildly exagerrated," she produces a sign to emphasise her words.

Chapter 1.2 - School + Distress
New Rikishi
Rikishi seems very confused and unaware about Ling Jing's complains, "E-excuse, fanciable what??"

He doesn't wait for her to answer though, as he spots Hanami, "Hanami!! My beloved, my cherry blossom from the mountain tree!!" He says, falling on her with his arms wide open, expecting a hug... Apparently...
Mio Suzuki
As the group wanders the corriders, they notice the new girl, Mio Suzuki, still looking frightened. She winces as Sumeryu calls her. "Gah! W-what do you want from me??" She's holding something on her hand, it seemed like a map.

"I- I'm just looking around, err... G-getting to know the place, you know??" She says, keeping her distance from anyone.

"I- I found this map of the campus, t-thought it could help, heheh..." She says. The map had a place in the middle of the forest marked with a yellow marked, with "Exit" written under it.

"I'd really prefer to go alone..."

Chapter 1.2 - School + Distress
Hibana is both intrigued and confused by Lin-Jing’s outrage. "If everyone is unique, no one is equal." She thinks this is a helpful thing to say, following what she said earlier, even though the fish-in-pond metaphor is lost in her.

"Example. This school gives me an opportunity to blend into human society, but I cannot fool anyone, pretend human like the rest of you can. But I can still learn. Not one giant girl grabbed a fly swatter and called me a shoe, so.. I think I have a natural talent."

She considers the fish-in-pond thing again. Big fish in small pond? She was talking about the biggest boy and biggest girl…

"If you are fishing and someone else is fishing, and you’re not in the same boat, you catch different fish—not even fish same part of the of pond. Then no need to worry if the other fisher catches more fish than you. Just enjoy your own pursuit and experience; you like the catch, you keep!"

Hibana’s answer is literally about fishing. If I don’t know what the metaphor is about, a literal answer is most helpful. Otherwise, the metaphor stinks.

Wait… fish stink. Maybe it’s supposed to…

The fairy flutters aimlessly as she gets lost in her thoughts.

Exasperated by Lin Jing's tangent, a bead of sweat rolls down Hanami's face. "I don't remember asking about your 'opportunities'. Besides, have you ever considered that the 'fanciable bishies' exist, but they just don't want you?" She snickers.

A chill runs down Hanami's spine. "Oh God... Back! Back, I say!" She pulls out her wand and points it directly at Rikishi. "If you call me your beloved or anything gross like that again, I'll curse you with a swollen tongue!"

OOC:
The color changing effect is cool, vicky! Nice work. And the new portrait is amusing.
"If that is what you want. But this school is full of monsters, all of them less beautiful and many more aggressive than myself."

Sumeryu flips her hair dramatically and lays on her particular brand of charm, which is the social equivalent of shooting a mouse with a 16cm battleship cannon. She will get to the bottom of this Mio Suzuki! And she'll need to get her alone first!

Ibuki raises an eyebrow, not at sumeryu's behaviour that one is about expected but because...

"You have a map of the academy grounds? Would you happen to recall how you got this map?" Ibuki thinks back to the map that she happened upon which also contained a peculiar X in the woods

Chapter 1.2 - School + Distress
The crowd of students stop on their tracks, amusingly watching Lin Jing and Hanami's somewhat heated exchange.

New Rikishi
Hanami's wand pokes hard at Rikishi's face, making he stand back, rubbing his attacked sinus, "Ouch... Oh, being cursed lovers, just like in a fairy tail..."[b] He seems dreamily, already forgetting the threat or the pain.
Mio Suzuki
At Sumeryu's remark, she freezes in place, looking at her, frightened.

[b]"Y-you're a monster??!"

She don't dare asking to stick with the group, but she don't leave either.

She looks at the map, then answering Ibuki: "Oh... A-a guy gave it to me... He said that I could escape this nightmare in there..." She points at the place in the woods marked with 'exit'.

Ibuki think that mio really wants to stay in character here which she can respect and instead of commenting continue her line of questioning

"Was this man perhaps in a very shady fellow in a dark longcoat with a fedora, did he never give you a straight answer when asked about things?" As she asks Ibuki will consult the map that she found to see if this area is on both

Mio Suzuki
"Uh... No..." She answers, pondering.

"He was just a student, like yourselves, maybe older... Y-you know? Well, he was kinda pretty, actually..." She then seems to remember something, and widen her eyes, "Err, I mean, no, not at all!! Scary, scary!"

The maps weren't equal, in fact the map the maid-lady gave them was just of a peripheral part of campus, while Mio's focused on the main one, with the dorms, school grounds, etc.

"Interesting, very interesting. Well that is all i had to ask thank you for your cooperation miss Suzuki you have been very helpful, I would normally now abide by your request to explore alone however I must warn you that there has actually recently been a kidnapping on campus grounds, it happened before you arrived so you may not have heard about it so i though it my duty to warn you. As such I would advise against heading out on your own, while I am sure you are very capable in your own way it is better to err on the side of caution no? I'd recommend having at least one or two partners with you on your exploration, of course the decision is yours at the end of the day but as you have satisfied my curiosity I should give my advice and of course if you wish for me to accompany you i would be happy to oblige..." Ibuki's mildly hypnotic lecture continues on on the background for awhile, she keeps her index finger raise throughout it

She answers Mio: "I am no mere monster! I am a dragon!"

She puts her hand on her chest self-importantly.

"And it would be rude of me not to help a fellow student who is in distress. This is my friend, Ibuki."

She speaks a little louder, so that the subject of her sentence can hear her while floating. "I think our mutual friend Hibana can tell you that we mean you no harm."

Hanami's eye twitches. "That's it! I need you to shut up for a while... How does a hundred years sound to you!?"

Malevolent magics swirl around her wand as she recites a witchly incantation. At the peak of her chant, a hex shoots from her wand and engulfs Rikishi like thick smoke, trying to take hold.

Hibana supports Sumeryu’s claim. "I am new here, too! The giant girls make me feel very welcome and very safe!"

She gestures toward Hanami and That Boy. "You see? Even Hanami telling a boy to shut up is done without a slap. Just harmless shutting-up spell!"

Mio Suzuki
Mio almost dozes off at Ibuki's long lecture, but then is suddenly startled by Sumeryu, jumping back, now against a wall, "Gah!! D-dragon??"

The magic curse really don't help Sumeryu and Hibana's case, only adding to her fear.

Katsuya Momochichi
Just as the case seemed to be lost, Katsuya appears, "Oh, we're revealing our monster races?? My turn! I'm a Kitsune!" She says, pulling her big fox ears. "She is too! By the way!" She says, wrapping her arm around Luna's neck and pulling her closer.

"Waah!! A-a fox girl?? Cuuute!!" Mio utters, in a girlish meltdown, as she jumps at Katsuya.
"Oh, ok... Y-you guys seem to be nice... And don't like you're going to devour me..." She says, though giving an unsure look at Sumeryu.

"Will you girls help me go there? I'm scared..." She pleas, meekly.
New Rikishi
"Gawahuvagoa!!" Rikishi utters, before covering his mouth with his hands, with a surprised look.

He gazes at Lin Jing with pleading eyes, begging for help.

Hibana is happy to help Mio. "Oh! I love helping! I’ve been helping people on an almost daily basis for as long as I can remember! …which is only a few days."

Not wanting to get into the whole amnesia thing, she tries to pass that few-days comment off as a joke. "Hahahaha..ha?" Then she tries to focus on the task at hand. "Lemme see the map, please."

Ibuki stops her lecture at the once the conversation got to talks about race

"I don't think that's what we are supposed to be doing katsuya, im farily sure we specifically are not supposed to reveal that..." the talks about eating people alive cause ibuki to sweat a little for some reason
