[Given the fact that it's been a good amount of time since Himeko's managed to get her bearings together and mull things over, she's finally going to make the decision to actually do something.

Impatience seems to win out in the end, it seems.]

Hi.

Many of you guys might not know me, and I might not know you. But it seems that we're all in the same boat, so I'd like to make amends to that. I'm Inaba, a high school graduate; nothing really special about me. And more importantly: I think that because of that, we should at least try and share any important information - probably in a meeting or something, in person. Although if you want to share things one-on-one, you can find me at classroom 3-B.

But just to make it so that this is a much more interesting post: how about we play 20 questions? But instead of guessing something - let's make it a 'getting to know each other' type of thing. So ask random questions about me. Ah, but I'm not obligated to answer any and all of your questions, alright? This is supposed to be fun, not weird.

[And if anybody does want to physically meet her, she'll be in classroom 3-B like she's said for a good part of the afternoon and evening hours; although people will most certainly find her getting up to walk around the hallways of the school to stretch and look around once again, but she doesn't seem to be looking out for anything in particular... this time. Although if she notices someone, she'll give a rather casual wave.

If she's seen during the silent hours, however: she'll wave quietly using her PDA in a gesture of Let's chat through this.]

You graduated? How are you here if

[and then she just actually puts her device down for three minutes because she suddenly realizes what she says is a bit rude, and she could probably word it better.

and then she's back, because she realized she can't.]

you're old?

[dereban]

I'm seventeen, not even that old yet! I'm not even an adult.

And I'd like to know why and how I'm here, too. This isn't home.

[This isn't Yokohama, she doesn't type.]

[dereban]

It's fine.

I learned some basic self defense and know some other stuff, that's all. Why?

[closewithnewintown]

I thought we were just kidnapped to go to a weird school. But, if you're not supposed to be in school... The villain wants something more than just that.

Inaba, is it? Pleased to meet you. I'm Shirogane, a second year in high school.

As a start, which high school did you graduate from?

[dereban]

I'd say the same here, but this isn't exactly the best environment for pleasantries.

Yamaboshi Private High. What school are you from?

[taketori]

[ Yamaboshi... doesn't ring a bell. Nothing that he can recall, anyway. ]

Shuchiin Academy. Have you found anyone that you've met before arriving here yet?

[dereban]

There are too many oddities for it to just be a simple kidnapping for that sort of reason...

But that's my thoughts on it for the meantime. But whatever they want, I'm not going to let them have it.

[mermaidcursed]

my name is nene yashiro! its nice to meet you. ummmm

were you in any clubs?

[closewithnewintown]

Unless they want something that's easy to give! [like friends. she bets they just want friends.]

Oh, I should ask you questions! What does the H stand for?

[dereban]

I was in the best club in the world. At least, to me.

[mermaidcursed]

that's really great!!! buuuut it doesn't tell me anything...............

[dereban]

[She doesn't recognize the name either, but she'll keep it in mind, just in case.]

There's nobody here that I recognize, unfortunately.

You?

[dereban]

Ahaha.

That's true. The club I was in was called the Cultural Research Club. And honestly, rather than a club... it really was just a place for those who didn't fit in other clubs to do whatever we wanted to.

[mermaidcursed]

[ Ah... that sounds like something her friends would do, were they all human. ]

that sounds really fun!!! and really inviting, i bet. i was in my school's gardening club!!

oh wait was i supposed to let you ask that???

[miscasted]

Is this really the time to be playing 20 questions?

[ There's a pause before Satoko sends another message. ]

Sorry, I'm just stressed. It sounds like an interesting way to get to know each other.

Where did you go to school?

[phoenixhearted]

Why should I waste my time playing 20 questions when there's more important things to be doing?

[dereban]

It was pretty fun. And the people I met there became really good friends of mine.

A gardening club, huh? Did you have any particular plants that you enjoyed using?

[dereban]

The past me would say 'probably not', but... you need to get to know each other if you want to work together and get out of here.

Being stressed is pretty natural in a situation like this, though. It's part of the reason why I decided to offer a small icebreaker, of sorts. It's no good if we can't calm ourselves down at times like this.

In one of the largest cities in Japan.

[dereban]

There's only so much that can be done before you start heading in circles. Unless you have any ideas on what should be done?

Besides: getting to know one another isn't a bad thing. Not if we want to get out of here.

[dereban]

If it was something like that, a kidnapping would have been unnecessary.

Ah, it's probably for my first name... but it's an embarrassing one, so I only really let my family and boyfriend use it.

[mermaidcursed]

i can grow vegetables, nonflowering potted plants and flowers! we didn't have enough room to try any fruit bushes or trees though.

what was your favorite subject?

[closewithnewintown]

Maybe they're shy! [don't you know a guy who traps people with nets because he doesn't know how to make friends. everybody knows that guy.]

I bet it's a very pretty name, but you don't have to tell if it makes you uncomfortable.

[trialbyliar]

[Kokichi is definitely not comfortable yet. How could he? He went from the frying pan to what he's already expecting to be some kind of fire. Getting comfortable is how you get yourself killed.

And unfortunately for everyone else, he makes himself feel secure by shoving everyone away and building mile high walls. Inaba's post is just the first thing he spots to get started with.]

oh wow, an opportunity to ask some random chick about herself??
just what i always wanted!!! how generous of you! ヽ(≧◡≦)八(o^ ^o)ノ
gosh what should i even ask...
how about your favorite food??
