Anita Myklebust strolled confidently through the large halls of New Future Academy, not really bothering to look at the other random students of various ages who were also spilling out of their classrooms lining the wall as the bell signifying the end of their first day of school chimed out in an almost musical rhythm. As big as the school was it was beginning to get rather cramped rather quickly at the mass of children eager to get to their dorm or club rooms, almost causing Anita to get trapped and smothered within the river of bodies if not for her magical luck powers allowing a small space to open up right in front of her from which she quickly stepped inside.
"Yes, make way, make way, little cretins," she thought to herself, the youngest ones especially getting on her nerves at times. With how rowdy they could be, all the luck in the world couldn't save you from them, and obviously they were excited to have completed their first day of school here. There was some flying limbs and smashing bodies, but she managed to remain unscathed all the way through the main hall and turned off into a side hall that was far less crowded, allowing her some breathing room at last. She was going in a direction that few other students were, leading her across a bridge on the second floor leading to the outside, the transparent panels on all sides revealing the beautiful environment of the island. The clear blue sky, the radiant sea off to their left, and the healthy grass below and trailing off to the right into the forest. It almost felt like she was walking on air. Ahead of her was another building, this one mainly for facility purposes such as storage and other undisclosed things. At the end of the bridge was a locked door with a panel on the side. She got out her school ID card and swiped it, causing the red light to flash green and the door unlocking with a click. She stepped in side, looking behind her before closing the door.
One might have gotten lost in here, and with the security cameras all around they probably would have assistance running up to them before they wandered into anything they weren't supposed to. However, with her luck, even though this was her first time here she was able to make it to the clubroom during her wandering. The instructions she had been given were decent, but it was so difficult finding her way that it would surely get some people lost regardless. She ended up in the basement, where a single door was with another panel that she unlocked the same as the first. The room was rather dark, putting a literal name to the term "The Dark Clubroom". Her eyes had to adjust for a bit before she could properly see. The room was rather poor looking, with desks apparently taken from around the school that were no longer useable with too much graffiti, a leg missing, cracked, etc. There were some comfy looking padded chairs with drink and snack holders off on the right side, although for some reason no students were occupying them. Around six students were already here, scattered around the desks, while one younger boy was...sitting on one of the rocks off on the left side?! He was sniffling and rubbing his eyes. Eh? Better not deal with him. She ignored him as she made her way over to the comfy chairs, but for some reason the other students gave looks of horror as she did so, especially the boy sitting on the rock. What gives? Was there something she should know about?
"That chair is for outstanding students only," she heard an adult voice say. Her eyes darted around, trying to find the source of this noise. Where was he? All she saw was children and a black cat that was curled up on one of the comfy chairs. "Do not disobey the rules of the Dark Clubroom or you will end up like that little boy over there."
"Where are you?" She questioned, as she began to get frustrated for this man hiding around.
"You're looking at me," the cat replied, glancing up at her with an annoyed expression on his face.
She jumped back, taken by surprise. She was well aware of magic, that's why she was chosen for the Dark Clubroom, but could animals possibly have magic as well?! It would seem so. There was no denying that she saw his lips move to the sound of that voice.
"Ah, my mistake," she replied, not able to form any complex sentences in light of this revelation. She simply turned off to the right, taking her seat on the front row. Luckily she had found a desk that didn't have any structural problems, just some graffiti of an armadillo being road killed by a bus. After looking at it and snickering, she then took the time to examine the rest of her surroundings. There was a bowl of cookies at the front podium (could she risk going up to be the first one to get one?), a plastic box off on the back wall filled with dirt, rocks, branches, etc. and containing an iguana, and various posters with propaganda praising the Dark Clubroom and how it was their duty to kill any Counter agents they came across. The rest of the students looked relatively normal besides a higher concentration of Goths. There were some of all ages and both genders were represented just about equally. It was a rather small group for trying to take over the world, but these were just the first to arrive so there was likely far more who would be straggling in as they had more time to navigate the maze to get here. She got out a pencil, twirling it between her fingers as she waited for the club to start.

Houston's small body was trapped and squished against repeatedly as he tried making his way out of his classroom.
"Oops. Pardon me. Excuse me," he whispered to no one in particular as his fellow students bumped against him. Unlike Anita, he had no powers over luck, and in fact luck seemed to hate him. At least that's what it felt like. Abandoned hope, he who tries to go through the hallway right after classes let out. He could use his powers of imagination to imagine it clearing out for him, but that would take too much energy to force all of the students to relocate. That being said he just had to deal with it and hope that nobody would step on him, him being so tiny and all. Not that he wanted to admit such a fact. He tried to get away from the taller boys, but even after getting into a crowd of girls he was still outmatched. Somehow he managed to make it out still alive, as he was thrown from the bustling crowd out into the grass outside the school building. He lay on his hands and knees panting for a good couple of seconds before getting back onto his feet, brushing the grass off of his knees but still retaining the grass stains on them. He got out his map and followed it into a separate, high class looking building near the forest that needed his ID card to enter. It lead to a nice, open entryway with a smiling receptionist who directed him off to the left. He opened the door, revealing a large room with computers lined up along the walls and lots of swivel chairs. The room was spotless and white. Nice. Counter sure was rich. Hopefully they could put their vast resources to good use and thwart the evil Dark Clubroom from taking over the world. He took a seat near the middle and set down his book bag in front of the computer. He liked computers so he wasted no time booting it up, waiting patiently for it to load while keeping his eyes directly ahead of him, not even noticing the nearby axolotl in the tank or the dog.
