Fatal Second Helen

@pxleides found a hidden character!

❀ - Polka was the first person out of the classroom after being dismissed. Usually she stayed behind to let everyone else out first, but with all the toxic gossip that had been going around the past few days she couldn’t stand being there a moment longer.

     She practically raced through the halls, desperately trying to avoid running into anyone. She would have kept going too, if someone hadn’t called her name. She froze, glancing around nervously for whoever wanted her attention. She only relaxed slightly when she recognized Pyrrha.

     “Oh… hello, Pyrrha-senpai. D-do you need anything?”

“Hello! Um, sorry to bother you like this,” 

 The upperclassmen smiles, mostly apologetically. She seemed to be in such a rush to leave, so keeping her there even for the moment nade the red head feel all the more guilty. (She could also, maybe, hazard to guess the reason for the unease.)

“But, since I’ll be joining the fashion club... Since I don’t want to be a burden, or anything... I was wondering if you could teach me how to sew?”

The festival was quickly coming to it’s close, and the sun was just starting to set. Some were probably already leaving, but those who stayed, and more importantly, joined the track outside at the track field, who seemed to be setting something up.

“Thank you for joining us today! Um, I’m sorry for the wait, but we’re here to demonstrate our running prowess!” Pyrrha, the club president, addressed the crowd, before bowing and taking her place in the track. 

After moment of preparation (Was that blond kid carrying a lit torch? Who let that on school grounds?) she blew a whistle. Carrying the lit torch, the torch barrier ran, round and round until meeting  the next track member, lighting their torch, and then it was that member’s turn. round and round, until concluding with Pyrrha, the completed the circuit and running off into the field.

Now, for the grand finale. Pyrrha kneels down and lights a fuse. and when the fuse ran out... There was the recognizable  whistles and lights of fireworks, some shooting int the sky, other sputtering sparkles on the ground. (Jeez, the school let them get fireworks??)

“That’s right. Oh, uh Thank you-!” Oh, oh now this was happening, catching The red head completely and utterly off guard.  it almost made her feel even sillier for her nervousness. It was skipping so many steps.

“Oh, I see. I suppose I’m the only one in the school. That I know of..” She momentarily rubs the back of her neck. Another commented on that too, so it must have been true. Then the hug, which just further surprised her. “O-oh, Thank you? I’m sorry, I’m not used to, this. You’re quite friendly!”  She chuckles, the nervousness coming back.

“Don’t worry about it. You are beautiful so just relax ‘kay?” Junko really needs to stop flirting after meeting with new people. They might think of her weird. She does not really care though. She just feels like saying whatever she has on her mind. What is the point in holding herself back if that is something positive? She laughs a little bit, then taking a step back and tilting her head to the side.

“Well, nevermind that. I am friendly! You know, it’s rare for me to talk to people that has nothing to do with my work. Kinda refreshing y’know?“ A giggle escapes her mouth yet again. Enoshima is very active when talking after all.

  “Ah, O-okay. Thank you..” her cheeks flushed a little at the additional compliments, and her hand idly played with a strand of her hair. She’s heard comments like it before, but for someone like her to compliment her appearance, well.. It felt all the more flattering.

 She hates these rumors, She hates the way people just changed the way they act to someone based on sensationalized half-truths and lies. They were talking about it like they were betting on who would win on a reality show next week, didn’t they realize what they were doing? How serious it was?

 “You shouldn’t be talking about something  like this so lightly,” She mumbles, perhaps not even loud enough for the younger students to hear. Hugging her books, she quickens her pace down the hall. “A lot of people are getting hurt…”

pxleides:

“I don’t plan to buff any snow storms today, Though I’m not too sure about you!”

 Pyrrha certainly had some work to do in the quip department, but the heart was there. The least one could say she was trying. now, for brutal snow ball combat! 

She ducked down to gather together more snow for a further assault, quickly smashing together snow to suitable projectiles, one clips out of her hands and lands short. A second attempt, a clumsy aim to the body.

[Clues]

     Vivi finally gave up on holding in her laughter. She wasn’t even sure what kind of quip or challenge Pyrrha had been going for, but it sounded absolutely ridiculous! Of course, silly sounding challenges were still challenges, and Vivi wasn’t about to back down from one!

          “Ha! Ya sound awful confident for someone who hasn’t hit me once!”

     Okay, so that statement probably jinxed her, but hey! What was the fun in a snowball fight if you never got hit? She quickly lobbed another snowball between Pyrrha’s attacks. Unfortunately, that left her open.

     She tried to dodge it at the last minute, but it was too late. She let out a surprised yelp as snow hit her side, sinking into her sweater and chilling her instantly. 

          “Oooh, you’re gonna pay for that!” She redoubled her efforts, barely taking time to properly pack the snow before hurling it at her friend.

If it was in any other company, Pyrrha would have been quite embarrassed of how flat her quip landed, but with friends it was okay. It almost refined the experience. (The quip was still pretty bad). 

“I guess I’ll just have to change that” She says, taking the chance the construct another snowy projectile, Vivi’s snowball hitting her square in the forearm.

“I hope the festival’ll turn out alright, Something about it coming up so soon’s left me a little anxious…” Pyrrha fidgets with her hands idly, trying to start small talk with her peer. One that she’s had little opportunity to speak to, usually.

“Um, Are you excited for the festival too?”

“…I am under the understanding that is is one of the most important events of the year, in regards to the establishment of each club’s place in the school’s social and cultural structure.”

…Which meant for a first year vice president of a club that needed to prove to the rest of the school that it was actually worth something, Byakuya was this close to tearing his hair out. Not that this girl would care any bit about that sort of information. In fact, it was a mystery to Byakuya as to why she was even broaching the action of talking to him in the first place. Based on how people react to him in the school chat (…And in general.) he certainly didn’t feel like anyone’s first choice of conversation.

“As for “excited”….that remains to be seen. Depending on what is actually in store with the other organizations.”

“Ah, Um, Yes, that’s true. It’s to help inspire new members to join.”

She agrees, with that fact, a bit nervous with the response. Her club just barely got enough members, and she would love to share her most favorite hobby with others and enjoy it with those who share it. She was.. nervous, about the entire ordeal to come.

 @despaireaten Liked for a doki starter!

“Oh, Hello again! Or, Just hello…I recognize your photo from the chat.” Pyrrha waved awkwardly. Was it too hopeful to feel comfortable that she wasn’t the only minor celebrity in the school? Probably, but she couldn’t help it.

“Um, I don’t know if it’ll be an issue, but if you ever need someone to distract fans or something, uh, feel free to ask?”

“Judging by your looks, Pyrrha was it? Daaamn girl. Looking good. Fantastic even. C’mere, c’mere, lemme see you closer” And thus she completely destroyed the awkwardness of the situation displaying maximum amount of friendliness she could possibly master as she comes closer in a very excited and bouncy way and examines the other girl with interest in her big blue eyes. 

“you are probably wondering how did i know it was you? Redheads are rare, and i kinda know you so it’s fine!” She laughed a little, wrapping her hands around the other female’s torso and pulling her into a small hug. “here, just so that you don’t feel uncomfortable. Also. Sure-sure! Will ask for help if somethin happens!”

“That’s right. Oh, uh Thank you-!” Oh, oh now this was happening, catching The red head completely and utterly off guard.  it almost made her feel even sillier for her nervousness. It was skipping so many steps.
