After school was out, Aito headed to the classroom where the P.O.I.R held its meetings. It was an, entertaining club, to say the least. At least, he could get a steady flux of information for his own paranormal investigations, which involved more internet-related figures than rather those of ancient cultures, like Slenderman, the Rake, Eyeless Jack, etc... In his opinion, those were way scarier than anything depicted in a book, something rather sad, since most of them came from amateurs. Maybe it was the way that they wrote about it that really made Aito tremble. While his thoughts darted off in many other ways, he arrived to the club before he could realize it. He opens the door and announces his presence. "Sup." After that, he sits in the nearest chair and takes out his portable game console. He hoped that today they could at least do something club like, for once, like, I dunno, going to the beach or something. That was a classic setting for an anime with this kind of setting. He let himself have a single stupid thought for a while and let out a chuckle, but he then returned to his rational thinking. With the president and associates, that was something impossible.
Thenm darkness fell upon them. He tried to remain calm, but his nervousness was clear as he was shaking and trying to diverse his thoughts from the situation at hand. He just couldn't stand it anymore and bent over to get his MP3 out of his backpack. Music would help him relax, even in the dark. He felt like screaming, no, he was screaming on his inside. To be honest, he wanted someone to be by his side right now. More especifically, Akane, since she always calmed him in those kinds of situations. Before putting on his headphone, he heard Akane's voice and he raised instantly from the chair he was in, with a hope-filled voice, which also indicated that he was on the verge of tears, he said. "Akane!" Though, as soon as he did, everything started shaking. An earthquake? Yeah, that was probably it. He would remain calm in this kind of situation, if it wasn't frigging dark. He crouched down in a reflex, but the violent tremors sent him against the chair he was sitting on. He first hit his head against one of the legs, but that wasn't quite enough as to leave him unconscious, however, the violent shaking made the chair lose balance and fall on top of Aito's face with a rather loud crashing sound. That made his lights go out.
He grasped to whatever little consciousness he could get his hands on. Opening his eyes little by little after such an impact, he wanted to take it easy and steady. Then, he was bitch-slapped. His eyes were now wide open after that. What was that that he could hear far off in the distance? Someone playing the violin? Whoever it was, they were truly extraordinary. But right now, the music creeped the hell out of him. A chill went down his spine. He sprung to a sitting position and rubbed his cheek. "What the hell was that for?! There are other ways of waking people up, you know?!" He said, somewhat angry at the president for having slapped him. "Anyway, what the hell is going on here?" He stands up and walks around the clubroom. It felt different. Maybe it was because of the foreign music constantly drawing closer, but something sure was off. What was it, though, Aito had no idea. He was glad that he brought his backpack with him. He rushed over to get a notebook out and start making notes, though now that he was searching for his notebook he noticed something.... It was still dark.
His irrational fear triggered in and he started shaking uncontollably. "W-What the heck? H-humans aren't in reality scared of the dark, right? They are scared of whatever may hide in it! Yeah! A-and besides, darkness is just the abscense of light, not much to it, right? L-like, oh god dammit!" Again, he just scared himself more with the more stupid facts he spouted out. He was on the verge of tears again. If only Akane was there...
He heard her voice though, from outside the classroom, and, without even thinking about it, he rushed out of the classroom and the first thing he did was hug her. "I'm scared, Akane... What the hell is up with that music?" Noticing that he must look quite childish when doing that, he let go of his childhood friend. "I'm sorry. I'm alright now." With a more familiar and reassuring face around, Airo felt more at ease. He takes a deep breath to calm himself, though he doesn't let go of Akane completely, holding part of her uniform like a child. He clears his throat and proceeds to make some inquiries. "So, um, what was up with that earthquake? Any ideas? Convergent? Divergent?" He tries to return to his smart boy character as he takes out his fake glasses and puts them on.
