Rika is actually assuming Mitsuki is Akira's little sister, seen how close they are being, how they arrived at the same time, and how hair hair is the same color.

Rika looked up at Haruka to see her little speech, at least from that she had gathered the identities of a few people... soo her name was Haruka, and that boy that was holding her hand, with the short blond hair was called Sho, and their friend with the long black hair on a sort of ponytail was Toby.

Seen the girl walking towards the room her friend had ran into she stood up, looking at the two boys and telling them,

"Sho, Toby, follow after her.. as an upper class mate, I should go as well, the rest of you can wait here if you want... or I guess form groups as well, just... don't wonder off on your own..."

She looked at Sho and Toby, ready to follow them to see to that Haruka girl, hoping she was alright.

Then she stopped, noticing Akira and that other short girl, the smaller girl seemed to have her eyes set on that same room and was planning to go that way, she was even pretty much asking Akira to follow her, in that case things changed,

"If Akira-kun is going... then I should stay with the rest, we have to make sure at least one upperclass mate gets into each group...
besides... Akira-kun, I didn't knew you had such a cute little sister.
Don't scare her now~"

saying that she stopped again with a small chuckle near the remaining few, still worried about the rest but she was sure Akira would be more than capable of handling it.

Rita sighted pouting in discontent as soon as she saw one of her under classmates having a little lover's fit and running away from the group without regards for her own safety as well as ignoring her request for everyone to present themselves with each other.

"What's wrong with that onee-san, she looked sad..."
she said just to keep appearance although she was also a little worried for her and anybody that wanted to explore the school on their own, her minds breaking apart all that she had seen until now trying to make sense of each scenario, even the unrealistic ones.

Thinking to herself she looked down,

' what is this place really... is this really that same old school we always saw from the hill... sure, it had to be, we woke up outside... and while we couldn't leave the zone due to some stupid thing in the way... no wait...
if this is really a prank... then what the hell is that outside... I've never seen anything like this before not ever... but if this isn't a prank... then is it real? are we all really in danger?... then the message... is it safe to assume it could be telling the truth? or is this just a trap... setting up a task to get us involved in something else... something that we shouldn't be touching...'

Rika lowered her head and sat down, her back pressed against the message near the entrance, trying to make sense of it all... at the very least her initial theory on it being just a prank was probably just wishful thinking... a way to calm down the rest of the students.

'what are we really suppose to do here... Sango...'

Hugging her knees she closed her eyes, really missing her friend, feeling unfit to make decisions and too scared to properly emulate Mika under these circumstances.

Having Rika be the voice of reason ... at least it will give her a chance to ... state her name, as nobody has asked her yet XD

this way we can all present each other real quick before we start ... dropping.

12:07

After trying to call her friend only to get no signal Rika gave up trying, deciding to instead follow the group of students into the creepy old building... at least there they could have some sort of shelter, logically speaking the place would still hold strong even after years of disrepair... it was a school afterall, and considering how long it had been there the place could had even been built during war times making it sturdier than normal to withstand enemy bombings...

"w-wait for me~"
she cried out following the group into the place.
She hid her phone for now, seen how some of them already had the initiative to light the place she knew she didn't had to spend her battery, not knowing when she would need it she decided the best step would be getting to know the rest of the students.

Noticing how Suzume and some of the other students were on the verge of freaking out she read the message on the wall, with a sigh she slammed her hand over a wooden pillar and said,

"Come on everyone this is obviously some sort of messed up prank, , spreading worlds locked up in this building? don't make me laugh, this used to be a school! it was never used for anything weird or supernatural like that... ugh... anyways, I suggest we all get to know one another... this might be a long night..."

With a sigh of disappointment, not liking to drop her cutesy-child act she acted abit more mature, if only, to keep the rest of the group from collapsing into hysteria and disarray.

"My name is Haruyomi Rika, from class 3-2, the same class as Akira-kun, and Shiori-kun... I might be rush and childish at times... but even I can see this can't possibly be real..."

She presented herself in an audible voice standing at the entrance, still scared but pretending to be calmed and collected.
saying his name name her a little worried about Shiori... had she him after running to him? was he alright after what happened?... she would have to check on him later, for all she knew he was alright and standing within the relatively large group of students.

12:05AM

Those noises... what was it? Rika thought to herself as she slowly opened her eyes, looking at a partially clouded pinkish sky very much unlike anything she had seen before, this didn't seemed to shock her or anything as she might as well be still sleeping, and even if she weren't freaking out about it wouldn't be of much help.
incorporating back to her feet, she felt that early spike of pain in her head was completely gone.

Looking around she saw the rest of the people, many of them already awake, the rest was waking up the others... Had they knocked her out?... no, if they had they wouldn't be sleeping too... what the hell was that pinkish sky.

"t-thats right, we can still call the police..." She thought about it for a moment holding her phone... sure the thing abode them was creeping her out... but what sort of scared little chick would she be if she just did that? would Mika really call home in a situation like this? would she really be frightened?... no... most likely not.

"aw... this is bad..."
She added with a sigh, not really wanting to suddenly before the leader figure for those kids she would let them solve this the best they could.
Yet something cough her eye.. the street lights... while the one near them was somewhat normal... the one just a few steps away was pinkish like the sky...
Slowly walking towards it she noticed something within the air and reaching for it she touched it, also causing the same ripple effect which had happened to Haruka,
With a smile she looked back to the group and said,
"waaah, this is crazy!, look guys it's like in the movies!"
She sure seemed exited about it, but in reality she really really felt like running home right about now.

Rika finished being scared just in time to feel dizzy, she wasn't looking at the clock but right at mid night her vision blurred, feeling a sharp pain on her head she cried, touching her head and lowering her body to the floor, thinking,
"was the caterpillar poisonous? what is going to happen to me... ugh... everyone else is going through the same thing... I'm scared..."
At that the pain intensified and she fainted.

question for boogie, do you have anything planned for the missing Ipear, if not, think your character could had forgotten it in the classroom and Rika found it / holding it till she sees you at school.

I mean, if it was spirited away, or you have a plan with it, that would also be okay :o

Friday, April 10th, 11:58PM - Old School Building



Waiting for the right time to appear, possibly right at the mark of mid night, Rika sighted, not really liking waiting in silence but it would be worth it... that said, more and more people were showing up, it reminded her of a birthday party... perhaps they weren't really going to do anything weird in the old building after all... perhaps she could just skip the whole surprise, try to climb the barrier, and go there herself...

"no, that's wrong, if I do that what would be the point, the rumor says the barrier will banish so I will wait for it even if it takes me all night... but..."

She looked down at her phone screen, seen the seconds ticking slowly and under that a photo of Sango grooping her affectionately and biting her ear... she smiled lightly, the noise from the rest of the guys seemly disappearing, leaving only the night breeze the noise of leafs shaking and her thoughts,

"Sango... should I had brought her along tonight?... I'm kind of scared..."

She thought to herself, turning off the screen of the phone as to not alert the others of her presence... right there she saw something black moving within the old building... perhaps just an old curtain in the breeze, but to her it sure looked like a person looking at them from the shadows... right there she felt something cold touch her from behind and with tears in her eyes she ran out, running towards the group and screaming,
"It's got me! Aawwwuuu aa... uh... "
Sobbing she bended to her knees frightened beyond belief... so un characteristic of Maki...
Right there she looked over her shoulder, a tiny silk worm moving about it, possibly falling from a tree... her hazy plan for a scare was ruined, the one that got the surprise was her and now they all knew she was there.

"uuugh... I thought I was going to die..."
She sighted cleaning her tears with her long red sleeve, picking up the tiny worm and allowing it to return to its home.
"uuuh uh..." She subbed getting her composure, asking the group her first direct question.
"aww? Shiori-kun, please heeelp~" she saw him knowing him from her class, still somewhat teary eyed she continued,

"What are all of you doing here at this time?... could it be... the rumors... are you guys going to hide the barricade? so you were behind the whole thing uh?..."

Rika was trembling with excitement seen the boys and girls gather, not only those from 3rd grade but also girls too and boys from other grades.
Finishing her soda she took a look down to the path beneath the hill, a small trash can was there so she tossed her soda cup in an angle where it wouldn't make things obvious.
Not having noticed she had been noticed by at least half of the people there she was wondering if it was a good idea to just appear, or maybe try to scare them as they enter?
"aww..." she was about to gasp but covered her mouth just in time, having a great idea for a nice scare... at least to her.
