[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...!

[suckswithmaps]

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

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, I don't see him now at least?

[suckswithmaps]

[a nod] I don't think he followed me or anything, so... [phew]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

That's good then...

Oh, I'm Kyon, by the way.

[suckswithmaps]

Mm. [another nod]

Kyon? [what a strange name...] It's a pleasure to meet you. My name's Celica.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Nice to meet you, Miss Celica.

[suckswithmaps]

Ahh... Just Celica is fine!

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right, Celica then.

[suckswithmaps]

Mm! Ah... are strange things hiding behind trees common here, Kyon?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Not to my knowledge at least...

[suckswithmaps]

I wonder what it could have been, then... I hope it's not going to hurt anyone. Or that it's not hurt itself. The Black Beast isn't here, so it couldn't have been a creation from that...

[slave_of_suzumiya]

The "Black Beast"...?

(I wonder what that is...?)

PAGE ALERT!

[afterlifer]

If you're receiving this message, your characters are nearby a page on a nearby wall. Whether your characters actually obtain it, of course, is up to them.

[suckswithmaps]

[a nod]

Yes, the Black Beast. It's a devastating monster that was created and-- [...headtilt] ...ah! There's something on that wall over there.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Hm...? It's some kind of note it seems...

[suckswithmaps]

Let's go see what it is!

[And without even waiting, she'll just prance on over to the wall and peer at the paper. hmmm.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Sure...

[He'll follow after her to take a look at it...]

[suckswithmaps]

Ah... The drawing on it looks a lot like the person I saw earlier.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Pretty strange looking "person"...

[suckswithmaps]

It's almost a stick figure drawing, but that really is basically how he looks in person...

[a beat] ...I hope he's not sick or anything, now that I think of it. Even if he is scary...

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I'm not sure a human would look quite like that, even if they were sick.

[suckswithmaps]

He could be the world's skinniest person! ...or something.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Are you suggesting he died of starvation then?

[suckswithmaps]

Ah... I hadn't thought of that! But if that's the case, maybe he was hanging around nearby because he wanted food... [wow she feels bad for running now..]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I doubt that's it?
