Kotori Shirohane - Warakuma Streets | After School
Kotori's question was answered quickly and simply, thereby leaving no reason for either to remain any longer at the school. Turning on the spot, the two headed toward the main gate - the masses of leaving students thankfully having lessened at least a little compared to the usual initial wave - and from there, on toward the Shopping District. The walk was a quiet one for the most part - Kotori was hardly one to strike up a conversation by herself whilst Alexei remained similarly silent. That is, at least, until they left the school gate behind them.
Looking up - and noticing that recently, she only seemed to meet people either clearly taller or equally shorter than herself - she gave a questioning look as the older student spoke her name, not even having the time to add a curious-surprised 'Yes?' before he already spoke on, stating that there was another matter that he needed her help with. Barely blinking once in surprised wonder, Alexei already went on; asking her whether she liked flowers. Kotori blinked again once, twice in confusion at the sudden question. "Yes?" she answered tentatively, though truthfully - even as it sounded more like a question, given that she was unsure what he meant by it. Either way, though, it was just so - and also a reason why she actually enjoyed helping out at home.
The Third Year quickly went on to explain his question, going into her thoughts on the particularities of an Ikebana arrangement - whether, if being presented as a gift, it were better for it to represent the gifter or the giftee. Impassive as he may seem at first glance, he really was trying his best for his family's happiness it would seem - warranting a moment's thought on the matter, as Kotori guessed that it most likely pertained to, even before Alexei clarified his question further. A thoughtful expression crossed Kotori's face, a finger lightly tapping her lips as she considered the matter - it certainly wasn't a question that she got asked regularly.
After a moment's pause, Kotori answered: "I don't think there's such a big difference, really. I mean, if you wanted to give someone a present as a friend, that would mean you saw them as a friend, too," she explained her view of the matter, a little unsure whether if would be a sufficient answer given the more clear-cut question that Alexei had posed.

Much like Thessalia had assumed, ReivaX confirmed that he was indeed, like herself, without a party for the upcoming Boss Fight. She raised an eyebrow as he mentioned that it wasn't his fault - before he corrected himself, though she could already guess the reason thereof; it being most likely the same as her own. In his joking tone that he liked to use so often, he suggested that they party up - not that it would be the first time, seeing as they were both solo players who were loners even by those standards; this being the reason for this very dilemma every time, though the exact reason for which they were how they were might not be the same.
As she'd already considered the option before stepping forward, it didn't take Thessalia very long to give a simple nod in response to his question, opening her menu with a flick of her wrist before speaking. "I doubt we'll find any free spots anymore by now," she said whilst navigating to the party menu, listing her as the only member of Party F of the Raid Group, "and I guess we'd both rather have someone they know covering our backs, right?" she went on, giving a demonstrative look about - whilst there were many familiar faces, Thessalia hardly knew more about most of them than their faces, their preferred roles and their names and affiliated guilds, if that. Tapping a button, a prompt would appear before ReivaX, asking if he wanted to join the Raid Group Party F.
"We don't always party up, you know," she then reminded him, even if he said it in jest - though her expression dimmed for a brief moment as she remembered the last time she'd gone along with a group of three, back on Floor 45. They had been friends since the beginning and had just managed to catch up to the lead group in terms of level and equipment, if only barely and had been excited for the Boss Fight, if a little nervous - and had known none of the other frontliners, thus being only too glad to add any of the seasoned frontliners to their party. Half way into the fight, the attack pattern switch had taken them by surprise, killing one - the shock thereof throwing the others into disarray, leading to Thessalia being the only remaining member. Thinking on it, she still wondered if perhaps they would have survived if they'd taken a better teamplayer with them, someone who could have guided them instead of her - but she pushed those thoughts back with a quick shake of her head, her usual expression returning - calm yet wary, as it was nowadays.
Looking back up, ReivaX was smiling his usual wide smile - Thessalia still didn't know if he was so happy to have found a party member or if he simply was that positive by nature, though his joking mannerisms made her tend to assume the latter. Either way though, Thessalia at least was glad about the circumstances - as it meant that, even if she was proficient at it, she wouldn't have to rely solely on her own abilities throughout the Boss Fight if things took a turn for the worse whilst at the same time she knew that ReivaX knew how to handle himself, meaning there was little risk of him going off and dying before her. Essentially, they were still just two solo players who happened to party up by mutual necessity for the duration of the Boss Fight - at least, that's how Thessalia saw it.
Once the party was established, Thessalia raised her hand, lifting a single finger to make a point before speaking. "There is one party rule, though," she said, her tone quite serious. "No dying," she said, her voice gaining a faint undertone of worry, as it always did whenever she addressed anyone she'd be fighting beside during a Boss Fight - for no matter how many times she saw it happen, seeing someone die right before her weighed heavily on her even weeks, if not months, later.

Kotori Shirohane - Warakuma High School: Main Entrance| After School
Kotori hadn't exactly expected anyone to be calling out to her after she'd almost cleared the main entrance, yet she still heard her own name being spoke from behind her. Surprised at the fact, she looked up before turning around to see who it was that had called for her. It took her another moment to realise that it wasn't any of the students that kept on walking right past her but rather the noticeably taller Alexei whom she'd met just the other day and who'd been overlooked in her brief search precisely because he stood so much taller than the average boy his age. Looking up, she gave a quick bow before greeting the third year: "Ah, good day, Dragunov-senpai," she said, albeit with a brief pause before uttering his name to make sure she got it right; still unused to foreign names.
Stepping a bit closer and into a more comfortable talking distance given the hustle and bustle still about them, Kotori had a questioning look about her as to why Alexei had called out to her - only for him speak up about it: "I have a request to make if you'll allow me?" he asked, the rather formal way of asking despite speaking to a junior taking Kotori a bit aback, though she still gave an affirmative nod; all the while blinking inquisitively from behind her glasses - until the matter became clear with the request in question: "Could you introduce me to the shop. I'll like to make my request if possible."
Kotori was quick to nod in agreement when she remembered the matter from the previous day; the reason for his floral needs in particular - that the parttime job of his made it hard for him to provide the girls of his family with flowers every day, even now bringing a small smile to her lips for a moment. She still thought the gesture was quite at odds with his gruff appearance - but the thought of flowers being used to bring a smile to the faces of others, together with the fact that he'd asked her help in the matter, made it impossible for her to decline. "Of course. It's in the Shopping District," she said in her usual quiet voice, a little belatedly after already nodding, before realising that Alexei had mentioned that he already knew where the Flower Shop was previously.
Seeing as she was already headed for home - like most every day after school - there was no reason they couldn't take the same way, given that their destination was the same. "Shall we go right now or do you need anything beforehand?" Kotori asked, seeing as she didn't know if the MMA Club perhaps had meetings on Saturdays or if he had to work his parttime job today.

Pff, ain't no pairing got anything on KotoriChair. That's the real good stuff.

[...] Also, this is apparently the Front Gate Club now. Because we need more clubs in this RP. [...]
Oh, guess Kotori will have to decide between this one and the Go-Home Club. Decisions, decisions...
Much as she'd expected, the parties were quickly forming up; even among the few remaining solo players, given that most were at least friends with one another even if they weren't part of a guild. There was an occasional group that gave her a passing glance - but ultimately, it seemed that Thessalia was going to end up in a one-woman-party once again. Not that it was such a bad thing - she was more than used to watching her own back after a whole year of having to do so; even during Boss Fights and, with none to watch, would be free to act to the best of her solo player's abilities. Though this was no simple event boss or group of monsters - a Boss Fight was hardly something anyone would take lightly anymore.
As she looked up and around the various groups, Thessalia then noticed a familiar face with a familiar expression - ReivaX, his eyes going from side to side as if in search of something. This something, knowing him from the occasional time they'd teamed up in the field or during Boss Fights in the past, was most likely the same as what she was hoping to find - a party. She thought it over for a moment - they both were at least acquainted with one another and offensive one-handed curved sword users, meaning that they'd at least be able to fulfill a similar role. With a final sigh, Thessalia ultimately decided that it would be better to have someone she at least knew in passing in the same party than stuck with a few she really only knew the faces of.
Pushing herself off the wall she'd been resting against, Thessalia stepped forward into the path that ReivaX was taking, lifting a hand in greeting - the look in her eyes, undoubtedly the same as his own, making her intentions clear before she even said a word. "Got left over again too?"

Eh, I'd probably just go the usual Persona route - use the starting team and then stick with them all the way through to the end.
...though I kinda think Kotori would be a pain to level up, given that she has probably the lowest hp, strength and endurance all in one whilst being weak to the most common element and having no physical skills herself. Gotta hope she at least has the mp and magic growth to make up for it later on.

Kotori Shirohane - Warakuma | Friday, April 10 2015 - After School
Having ordered their respective meals and taken a seat at an empty table, it wasn't long before the food was brought to the Warakuma High Students at the Thai restaurant. Giving a small "Thank you" when her curry was set down before her, Kotori remained silent for most of the remaining time; merely speaking up if the conversation at hand was directed toward her - which it hardly was, seeing as the attention seemed mostly centered on the small chopstick battle that went on between the three MMA Club Members; though that was quickly resolved as Inoue's win.
Soon after, the three began talking again - with Kotori simply listening, though without any foreknowledge of the topic, staying away from joining in. It rather quickly went from light-hearted to a serious tone, however - leaving Kotori a little worried about the matter. Had there been some kind of accident? Or were they just worried that something might happen? Before she could ponder this, however, Alexei turned to her, apologising for bringing such matters up; leading her to quickly wave it off with an added "Oh, no, it's no problem." As he then asked whether she lived near the mall, Kotori nodded; the flowerstore being within easy walking distance from it.
As he then offered they walk home together, she saw no reason to decline, nodding in agreement instead. Once they were ready to set out, they bid farewell to Sagat who remained behind at the restaurant before the three of them began walking home. Kotori remained much her quiet self on the way back, too; only speaking up if one of the two directed a question to her or when they reached Inoue's home as she bid farewell to her senior. Once Alexei had retrieved his bike at the office, it was time for them to part ways as well; leaving Kotori to give a polite bow before wishing him good luck with his job - though she wasn't quite sure if it really was something that required luck.
Either way though, it was just a two minute walk before she reached the Shirohane Flower Shop. Stepping inside, Kotori saw her mother moving a few small potted flowers about before stepping back to see how they looked before she noticed who'd just arrived home. "I'm home," Kotori said in her usual quiet voice as her mother gave a wide smile. "Welcome back, Kotori."
Kotori Shirohane - Warakuma Shopping District: Shirohane Residence | Saturday, April 11 2015 - Early Morning
A soft beeping sound filled the room, causing a stir in the figure laying underneath the covers of the bed. "Nnnh..." was the only sound coming from her as she pulled the covers a little closer to herself. The beeping seemed to take offense at that - and in turn began to sound more frequently and at a more urgent pitch; causing the sleepy Kotori to rise into a half-sitting, half-lying position in order to softly tap her alarm clock before it went into its cacophonic third type of incessant beeping. Still sluggish from having just awoken, Kotori sat herself up fully, stifling a yawn as she did before groping for her glasses on the nightstand next to her bed. Still drowsy, she nonetheless swung her beds out from underneath the covers and immediately into her slippers beside her bed; suppressing a shiver when the air hit her pajama-clad legs that were still used to the comfortably warm bed.
A few minutes later, Kotori was standing in the kitchen, preparing her lunchbox for the day - the usual morning routine consisting of a quick splash of water in the bathroom to fully wake up, getting dressed, eating breakfast and cleaning her teeth thereafter having been done as usual. Halfway through, her mother stepped into the kitchen, one hand before her mouth as she tried and failed to stop a yawn as she saw Kotori already up and about. "Ah, you're up early as usual. Good morning, Kotori," she said with a smile as she went to pour herself a glass of orange juice. "Good morning. So are you," was the simple reply before the two Shirohanes went about their usual morning business - which, as every morning, ended with the mother sending her daughter off to school at the front door with a wish of "Take care.2
Kotori Shirohane - Warakuma High School: Classroom 2-2 | After School
"Alright, Class dismissed" - and with that announcement, the class burst into its usual fervor to be the first out of the room and school; all to eager to get on with their weekend. At least, most of them did - some took it more slowly and yet others, such as Kotori, remained seated for their own reasons; finishing up her notes of the day's classes in her case. Taking another minute or two to write everything down, she closed her notebook after having gone over the homework that she'd be doing over the weekend. As expected, it wasn't that much - yet, given that it was only the start of the year.
As she packed her bag, Kotori thought about what she'd heard during the lunch period - that a student hadn't shown up today; a first year if it was a classmate of the two who'd been talking about it. As she hadn't heard any more of it though, she thought it a shame for whoever it was - to catch a cold so early in the school year, that is, and to have to miss school because of it. Thinking nothing more of it, Kotori picked up her school bag before she headed out of the classroom; only noticing the occasional glances in her direction by the time she reached the main entrance - but didn't think much about it; believing them to be club recruiters that were still on the hunt for the last few yet-undecided students to bring into the fold as she simply kept her eyes down so she wouldn't have to waste their time.
