Persona: New Awakening

Terri looked up at the sky and thought for a moment, rubbing her chin in thought. "The only thing we know is that you lived with Officer Kurosawa, I think." She turned around and began walking once more, seeing the dorm in the distance. "I wasn't really told much about you, to be honest. I think you should ask Leila that since she's practically the leader of the group while Holden is the leader in combat."

Leila's smile grew a little more as she tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ear, stepping closer towards Holden as she wrapped around her arm to his. She looked up at him and smiled, grabbing his wrist gently. "Thank you again for earlier. I'm not too sure how to repay you for saving me...twice."

 

Sakura took a look at the time and finished her email to her parents. She closed her laptop and put it away, then left her room. Sakura gasped and headed for Hattori's room, she knocked, "Hattori, we should be heading for the Command Room, now." She smiled, rubbing her stomach.

 

"I see..." Haruka replied...
"I..." she stopped herself from saying anything more.. they continued to walk a little more.
"...You're one of the few who I can actually be normal with I guess. Since well, you don't know much about me." she grinned.
Then she stopped walking and looked up to the sky.
"It's like having a clean slate almost. It feels refreshing.
I guess it feels like you've at least gotten to know me before you can pre-judge me." Haruka was aware that this would probably make no sense to Terri, but, it didn't matter. She felt pretty happy considering, it felt like she was getting somewhere for once.
"Oh, don't mind me." She smiled as she started walking again. The two of them getting closer and closer to the Dorm.

 

Hattori yawned as he stepped out of his room.

"I didn't realize it was that late, Sakura. Thanks for coming to get me."

 

Sakura smiled and took his hand, leading him to the Command Room. She kept quiet, remembering her parents' replies to her new boyfriend. Her father was overprotective, while her mother was both happy and shocked. Their concern for her had grown since she told them she had become pregnant, but she reassured them Hattori was good.

 

Taking in a breath of fresh air, Vincent stopped in his tracks and looked up to the night sky. "The stars...they sure are beautiful," he said as he extended his arm out towards the sky, trying to grab them but only grasping thin air in the end. Letting out a sigh, he put his hands back in the pockets of his pants and continued towards the dormitories. As he got closer to the dorms, he could see the silhouette of two girls in the distance and as he got even closer, he could start to make out who they were as they walked under the light of the streetlamps. "Oh look it's Terri and-" he paused as he try to make out who the second girl was. "...the new girl. I still haven't talked to her yet." Picking up his pace, Vincent ran towards them as they walked towards the dorm, yelling "Hey! Wait for me!"

 

Hattori sat down next to Sakura when they got to the command room. He began to get lost in thought as he waited for the others.

 

"Well, this clean slate might be a bit difficult, but I'm hoping you join SEES," Terri quietly said. She opened her mouth to speak once more but stopped herself when she heard a familiar voice. Turning to look behind them, the girl smiled and waved at Vincent, watching him as he ran towards him. "Haruka, he's a friend. He's from SEES as well."

"Well, I feel like I should repay you somehow," she muttered lowly, lowering her head as she frowned. She gently squeezed Holden's wrist before she followed after him into the Command Room. Hearing his last comment, Leila frowned more and opened her mouth to protest against it, but she quickly closed it and let go his wrist when she noticed Hattori and Sakura already waiting. "Oh, I didn't think anyone else would be here."

 

OOC: Just so you guys know, I've confirmed it with Ruki. But it's only 5:00pm in the evening.


BIC:
"Hoping?
You mean, you guys would want me to join you?" Haruka asked a little wide eyed.
"Hell yeah, you don't even need to ask. Of course I'll join."
Suddenly a voice behind them could be heard, as the two girls turned around and saw an approaching figure.
She listened to Terri explain it was another SEES member.
"I'm guessing all of SEES live in the dorm then?" she asked, as she waited for the boy to finish his rapid approach.

 

Sakura looked at Lelia and Holden, "We had just gotten here ourselves, actually." She smiled and touched her stomach, sitting quietly and waiting for the others.

 

Wasn't expecting it to be this late. Allen thought making his way back to the Dorm. As he got closer to the dorm, he notice Vincent running towards Terri and Haruka. Deciding to go in with them, he began to run after them

 

Decelerating his sprint as he got closer to the girls, Vincent was able to change his pace to match that of the girls' as he walked along with them to the dorms. "The name's Vincent," he said as he smiled and scratched the back of his head. "Looks like I'm not the new guy anymore. I guess Terri's been telling you about everything. I know it sounds weird at first but trust me...you get used to it." Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching closer from behind, Vincent turned around to see Allen, another member of SEES, running towards them. "Oh look! It's Allen. He's also a member of our club."

 

"That's wonderful!" Terri nearly shouted, quickly covering her mouth as she realized she got too happy about it. She lowered her head and then lowered her hand down to her side, smiling at Haruka. "Vincent, Haruka has agreed to join SEES with us." She noticed Allen in the distanced and stayed put until he had caught up with them. "I think the only thing that will be a bit overwhelming is...seeing the school change."

Leila looked up at Holden and perked an eyebrow, nodding her head at him. "It's fine. But I'm not letting you go ahead of everyone in Tartarus alone!" She frowned at him before moving her arm away from his and stepped over towards the monitor. "Where is everyone else?"

 

Haruka felt happy at Terri's excitement over her joining SEES... although she hadn't been offered the chance yet officially.
Her heart dropped though when Terri mentioned about the school changing again.
"Yeah... about that...
Um... When we get in there... I'm gonna have to tell you something about that." Haruka revealed.

 

"Really?! Well we'll be happy to have you on the team," said Vincent as he gave Haruka a pat on the back. Looking at his wristwatch, he let out a sigh. The team meeting was about to start and he knew that 'somebody' would flip his **** if everybody wasn't there soon. "We better hurry to the meeting guys. It's almost about to start."

OCC: Quick time skip?

 

OOC: Be nice, children. >B|

Terri cocked her head before nodding at Haruka's comment. She was curious exactly what the girl wanted to say, but Vincent had a point. They needed to head to the Command Room quickly. "Well, it sure does sound important so Leila should know of it, along with the rest of us." Smiling at the group, she turned back around and began running towards the dorm, figuring the others were already up in the Command Room. Entering the dorm, Terri looked around and saw nobody down. Biting down on her lip, she rushed up the stairs and once she reached the fourth floor, she looked over her shoulder to see if the others were following. Returning her attention towards the double doors, she opened one and stepped through, slouching her shoulders slightly when she saw the others. "Sorry we're late."

Leila perked an eyebrow and opened her mouth to question Holden, but closed it when she heard the door open and heard Terri's voice. "We were beginning to wonder where all of you ran off to." She smiled as she made her way towards the other side of the room, waiting to see Haruka walk through the doors.
