[afternoon]
[so! Without much else to do in the afternoon between classes, Celica decides to go out and take a walk around the campus! Except she's kinda sorta directionally impaired, so this short outing quickly becomes a rather long one as she gets herself lost wherever. She's fairly new here as is and it's not like she's that familiar with the surroundings, so...! yep. Despite her being lost, however, she doesn't seem very phased by it. She just figures that she walked a little too far away from the campus and found herself in some other campus. Or something. Who knows. But she's definitely not lost, okok..!!

So feel free to bump into her pretty much anywhere, really...]

[evening]
[Later that day, more around early-ish evening, Celica finally heads back to the dormitories, only to feel like something is... following her, maybe? She happens to catch a small glimpse of that something while glancing around too and... oh god what is that. Or who, rather...?! Looks like some tall, slender dude just... standing there next to that tree... or something...]

Ah... excuse me..?-- [she asks, slowly turning her head to get a better look at the guy. But instead, she stops, suddenly stricken by fear! She's not sure why, but... Celica gets the feeling she should run. Like. Now--] E-eeeeeek...!

Afternoon

[gentlelady]

... Excuse me.

[ Lilly was taking a relaxing walk down that area, and surely spotted this girl with such a... lost look on her face. ]

Do you need help with something?

[suckswithmaps]

[Oh thank heavens it's a person and.. hopefully not one of those NPCs or anything. Celica will just... try not to look too lost, though...! Because clearly she's not lost. Nope. No sireeee.]

Help? Um... I don't think so... [maybe...]

[gentlelady]

Are you sure? It's easy to get lost in this place. Are you new?

[suckswithmaps]

Compared to everyone else I've met here who aren't NPCs, yes, I suppose so. I got here when everyone was suddenly locked out of all the buildings...

But ah... I'm not lost at all, so...!

[gentlelady]

I see. I won't press on the matter, but if there's anything else you need help with, I have some time to spare.

[suckswithmaps]

[. . . hrk]

Well, just to make sure... How do get back to the dorms..?

[gentlelady]

[ ... she was lost, alright. ]

You have to follow the path over there. [ Indicating it with her finger. ]

[suckswithmaps]

[no way. shhh...

Celica looks over in that direction, nodding to herself.] Oh! That's the way I was heading, anyway. So I guess I was right. [no]

[gentlelady]

[ A chuckle. Like she can believe that. ]

Either way, I guess you were right about heading that way.

evening;

[extraordinarily]

... It's just Slenderman. Why are you so scared?

[ Because obviously it doesn't seem to be all that scary to Haruhi, really. ]

evening;

[suckswithmaps]

[but it's some scary guy

in the woods

staring at them wHAT DO THEY DO...]

S-Slenderman...?

evening;

[extraordinarily]

Yeah, Slenderman! He's in books and games and stuff like that, though I've never seen a real one up close, so this is kind of exciting. I'm thinking of befriending him, actually.

evening;

[suckswithmaps]

I've never heard of him...

But ah... befriending him? Is he friendly?

[If he is, she feels bad for immediately being so frightened...! maybe he's a nice slender dude...]

[extraordinarily]

I don't know. The stories say he isn't friendly at all, but they could all be lying.

[suckswithmaps]

Do you think so? Or well... what did they say about him not being friendly?

[extraordinarily]

I think it had something to do with the fact that he killed people.

[suckswithmaps]

[. . .]

...K-killed people...?!

Evening

[slave_of_suzumiya]

[After fleeing the Slenderman, Celia may find herself inadvertently running directly into this guy here.]

Oof! Ah, y-you okay there?

Evening

[suckswithmaps]

[oof!]

A-aaahhh... I'm so sorry...! [eep running into him..] Are you okay? [asking him first sry]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Ah, I'm fine. How about you, miss...?

(... That's a pretty cute ponytail she has.)

[suckswithmaps]

Oh, good... phew... I was worried I hurt you. But ah... I-I'm fine! Just... I saw something over there.

[pointing in the direction from which she came]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Something...? What was it like?

[suckswithmaps]

Um... [hmm..]

I didn't get a good look at it, but... it looked like a person. He was really tall and thin, and... I don't think he had a face.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

No face, huh? ... Sounds creepy.

[suckswithmaps]

It was pretty creepy! And he was just standing there next to a tree, too...
