Exorcism Research Meeting

[jumpedtheshark]

[There's notes slipped under everyone's door's that night.]

Meet in the lobby for an research meeting on exorcism. - Shirogane Tsumugi

[Said lobby has stacks of manga on one of the tables, organized by series. There's a lot there. On another table is her sewing machine, supplies, and an assortment of red and white fabrics.]

Right! Some manga and anime refrence exorcism, like Inuyasha, or revolve around it, like Twin Star Exorcists. I've brought out both of those, Gegege no Kitaro, Blue Exorcist, Natsume's Book of Friends, Yu Yu Hakusho, and more. I think that by referencing them... we could find exorcism methods to try. While they are fictional... we are too, so... it might still work, right?

[She nervously fiddles with her tape measurer.]

I'll be working on Miko costumes for the exorcism... but I'd appreciate it if everyone here read through at least one series and wrote down the methods you find, so we can prepare for them.

Oh, and umm... one last thing. If you want to look for more related manga or watch the anime of any of these series... I'm giving you free reign to check the shelves in my room and watch on my computer.

[She's trusting you all to not look under her bed, okay. That's where all the... stranger merchandise she has has been relegated to.]

So... let's do our best to save Niijima-san, Cinque-san, and whoever the Jorogumo is...  okay?

Do you really want to kiss Inaba that badly?

[moonlightbeast]

Yes?

Have you seen her? She's a beautiful, wonderful person.

[resortghosts]

You do realize that I'm one of the few people who can see her right now, right?

[moonlightbeast]

Then why are you questioning why someone would want to kiss her?

[resortghosts]

Maybe I just wanted to hear you say it.

[moonlightbeast]

...

This is Inaba, isn't it?

[resortghosts]

:)

[moonlightbeast]

Inaba!

[resortghosts]

That was almost too easy. It's been a while since I've pretended to be someone else, though.

[moonlightbeast]

Mouuuu, it's not fair to trick me like that! What if I had said something really embarrassing?

[resortghosts]

I would have been very amused.

But also very flattered.

[moonlightbeast]

I'm going to write you more poetry and then let everyone read it.

[Or not, that might embarrass himself.]

[resortghosts]

Go ahead.

Maybe I'll do the same. Actually. You did read my poem, didn't you?

[moonlightbeast]

I did, and it was very beautiful.

[resortghosts]

I'm glad you liked it. I kind of... referenced your name for it.

And, uh. I didn't tell you before, but I also referenced... a Japanese author. That shares your name. Same kanji and all that.

[moonlightbeast]

I noticed.

...you know, Tsumugi-san asked me why I had friends named after authors... I should look into that.

[resortghosts]

I knew as well.

I just didn't tell you. Sorry. I didn't want you to think I was strange, and it's probably a "parallel universe" thing, really.

[moonlightbeast]

It probably is another 'me' from another world.

[He...doesn't sound too surprised or upset about this? Hmm.]

[resortghosts]

Shit is extremely weird.

[jumpedtheshark]

.... I think me and Inaba-san were right when we decided you would be the dating sim protagonist.

[She's honestly just popcorning this. Feel free to ignore her musings.]

I had no idea then that you would go for her route. But... I guess you're going on Kurosaki-kun's route too.

[moonlightbeast]

[Wow this sure does get awkward when the person he's talking to about this stuff is someone he can see.]

I-It's not a dating sim route, it's just feelings. I'm not even dating anybody.

[jumpedtheshark]

Yet.

[Atsushi is quite frankly, attractive, kind, and already clearly has a thing going on with two of the currently deceased.]

It's plain to see what your feelings are on the matter, so... it's just up to them to decide now, right?

[Feelings turn into relationships if they are reciprocated.]

[resortghosts]

[Interrupting this with a ping!]

Well, I don't really mind poly relationships myself. And I already confessed to Atsushi.

[moonlightbeast]

I-I don't know if I'm ready for anything serious. Before I met either of them, I thought I would be alone and die young. It's still a little overwhelming to think about.
