[b]Kotori Shirohane - Warakuma High School: Classrom 2-2 | Thursday, April 16 2015 - After School[/b]

This day had, to say the least, been a strange one. After the announcement about Matthew's disappearance - and most likely kidnapping even - the rumour mills had practically gone into overdrive; much like they had after Noborus similarly spontaneous vanishing. Kotori meanwhile was left rather conflicted about the announcement - this was the second person who went missing the very same day that she had met them. After a moment, she shook her head to get that silly thought out of her head - there was no way these two were somehow connected and much less that she was somehow involved too. Even so, a small bit of worry never quite left her thoughts throughout the day.

With the ringing of the bell that signalled the end of the school day, Kotori breathed a silent sigh with mixed feelings as she finished up her notes of the day. Putting her notebook away, she retrieved a piece of paper from her school bag - the application form that she'd received just yesterday. She remembered the discussion she'd had with her mother about it - whether it would be acceptable for her to join a club when she was helping out at home. Unfortunately, her mother had shot all her carefully prepared arguments down completely with an immediate and oddly delighted "Yes" right away; leading to Kotori now holding a carefully filled out form in her hands.

Now, however, there was an entirely different problem at hand - with their club president missing, Kotori doubted that the other Agriculture members would be much in the mood for new members right now; the girl knowing little of the fact that said members numbered in the lower zeroes. As such, she didn't want to bother them at such a time - much less when she didn't even know anyone other than the now missing Matthew; and even him just fleetingly. After a moment, however, Kotori ultimately decided to at least head by the Agriculture Club - after all, she'd already decided that she'd like to join, however tentatively that may be. With that, she stood up from her chair - her inner debate having given most of her classmates ample time to already head on out - and, with both bag and application form in hand, to head out.

Of course, saying - or rather, thinking - something was one thing; actually doing it was entirely another. Standing in front of the door to the Agriculture Club - she still wondered why it was such a far-off room - Kotori stood clutching the application form in one hand and the other half-raised as if to knock on the door but hesitating. Still, she had decided to follow through - and thus, gently knocked against the door; generating a rather faint sound that would barely be heard over the voices that she could hear muffled from the other side. Waiting for a second or ten, Kotori then opened the door - and found two familiar faces sitting inside in the form of the two girls who had visited the Agriculture Club yesterday.

[color=green]"Excuse me,"[/color] Kotori said, giving a small bow as she did. As she stepped inside, she noticed that the two were, in fact, the only ones here - and had been the ones whose voices she'd heard. With none of the actual club members around, Kotori's original purpose for coming here quickly fell apart - though at the same time, it saved her from being questioned by a club member about Matthew's disappearance as she briefly remembered something similar happening back when Noboru vanished. That, however, was a different matter - the current one being her standing a little awkwardly at the door and not knowing what to say to the two girls who were no doubt expecting her to speak up now that she'd already stepped inside.

[color=green]"Uhm... good day,"[/color] Kotori said, her voice even quiter than usual, whilst she glanced from side to side behind her glasses but still seeing no sign of any club members about. [color=green]"Was anyone else here?"[/color] she asked - only to realise that the question didn't really make much sense by itself. Holding up the application form - slightly crumpled from her unconsciously and nervously having played with it in her hand - she added: [color=green]"I was thinking of joining."[/color] A moment later, Kotori wondered just why she'd said that - of course the other two already knew that; they'd seen and heard her just yesterday after all.
