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?

Methods List

[jumpedtheshark]

[There's a piece of paper that has it's own table with Methods listed at the top. There's a pencil next to it and a note from Tsumugi.]

If you find any methods, write them down here in detail. - Shirogane Tsumugi

[theycallhimmrpchan]

[He arrives a bit late, but that's expected]

Huh, it'd be nice if we can actually find something... though I wonder if it's okay to wear priestly vestments if we're not actually priests?

[Ryoga had to wonder as he picks up a volume of Inu Yasha, flicking through the pages]

[resortghosts]

[There is a ghost holding what seems to be a violet VAIO laptop before it's placed onto the table. It's honestly probably pretty obvious who this is just by association.

No tablet pings just yet, but the ghost seems to at least be here, sitting down somewhere.]

[jumpedtheshark]

[If there's any questions, Tsumugi can be found working on a miko outfit for a Cosplay of Luka Urushibara. If anyone was wondering how she made all those maid uniforms last time, the way her hair is wiggling, extending and growing to serve as extra limbs to speed up the creation process is an explanation alright. Multi-tasking has never been so easy.

On her occasional breaks, you can find her flipping through one of the Bleach manga volumes.]

I wonder if a cosplay of one of the Gotei 13 would help...? They are Soul Reapers. Or maybe Rukia?

[She seems to decide yes, as there is a Rukia cosplay being made during the later hours of the research meeting.]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He's SUPER LATE TO THIS... but he does... eventually show. Hi.

Vanitas is just gonna be quietly poking at some Yu Yu Hakusho manga... and DVDs, too, even. What the heck even is this series. ]

[rosebridled]

[ Bli...nks...

She'll... look at Natsume's Book of Friends, she guesses...? The cat looks cute. ]

[jumpedtheshark]

You can get certificates online these days...

[A small shrug.]

Besides... it's cosplay, so it's okay!

[theycallhimmrpchan]

Huh, amazing what you can do with the internet.

[He pauses on a two-page splash image of the title character, his eyes widening]

Why does this guy look like...?

[resortghosts]

[Ding!]

Pre or post timeskip?

[jumpedtheshark]

Pre-time skip! That version of her is more iconic.

[resortghosts]

[And another separate tablet ping:]

Do you mind if I borrow those volumes sometime, Tsumugi? Of Bleach, I mean.

[jumpedtheshark]

Thanks for coming, Vanitas-kun.

[She is genuinely happy to see him here.]

I was hoping to introduce you to anime and manga... but not like this.

[jumpedtheshark]

Not at all! Is this Ichigo-kun or Granz-san?

[She was always more of a fan of the latter to be honest. What can she say, she's a fan of villains more than heroes.]

[resortghosts]

Hah, I guess so. Though I thought her shorter hair looked nice, myself. Then again, it's different in person than on a page.

[resortghosts]

If you really want to scare the pants off that wolf, we should emulate Lord Aizen.

[resortghosts]

Neither.

I'm just here to find chapters to roast Ichigo with.

[jumpedtheshark]

Eh? Does he look like someone you know?

[She already knows the answer, but she'll let him say it himself. She's... not sure if she wants to drop the whole same-author thing on him yet, if ever.]

[theycallhimmrpchan]

Change his hair style, get rid of the ears... and he looks a lot like Ranma.

[It's actually kind of weird for him, as he just stares - his expression unreadable]

[jumpedtheshark]

That's one of the hard parts of being a cosplayer, you know. Faithfully bringing the 2D designs into the 3D world!

[jumpedtheshark]

Oooh... that's a good idea!

[Really, she's just here for the cosplay. A part of her is sad that she probably won't have time for wigs, and asking for them or colored contacts at this point would probably take a while, so she'll just have to be satisfied with the outfits.]

Hey, do you want to try cosplay? If you give me your measurements, I can make it in your size.

[jumpedtheshark]

Well, I'm not going to stop you there.

[A pause and small dark look.]

I suggest looking at the early and final chapters for that.

[resortghosts]

Ah...? Me?? No, no. I couldn't. What good is an invisible cosplayer?

[resortghosts]

👍👍👍

I'll definitely read them. I need to embarrass Ichigo for revenge from earlier today, anyway.

[jumpedtheshark]

Well... I can explain that, but... I'm not sure how you'd feel about the answer.

[She doesn't want to drop the bomb of knowing his canon on him, but... it wouldn't stay hidden once they got out of here anyway, would it?]

[theycallhimmrpchan]

[He lifts his fingers from the page, mulling what she said - before shaking his head]

I think I'll wait for that answer.

[There's too much going on to wrap his head around as it is]

Can't believe I actually miss that jerk.
