In League with Dragons (OPEN)

Who: Gudako and you!
When: 3/28
Warnings: Spooky magic.

One morning, a few days before Spring "break" ends, a note is taped to the front of the class 2-A classroom.

Magic ritual in progress. Please be careful!
-Ritsuka

While on the face of it this may seem ridiculous, peering in through the windows sees all of the desks inside the classroom shoved into the corners while Ritsuka kneels on the floor, having laid the chalkboard on the floor to sketch some kind of elaborate magic circle on it.

Ritsuka frequently pauses, looks at her work, narrows her eyes, erases, resketches, repeats this process, and-

Flops back on her back and lets out a loud groan, just... laying there. Staring up at the ceiling blankly.

It doesn't look like she's going to move for a while.

Maybe someone should go and check up on her.

[ Well, that note is certainly one way to catch someone's attention. At first, Satoko thinks it's a joke, but when she peers into the classroom and watches Ritsuka busy at work... she realizes that Ritsuka is quite serious.

But- really, magic? Not to mention, the kind of magic that has rituals and magic circles? There's no way magic like that is real, right? ...Just as Satoko's worrying about the mental health of poor Ritsuka, she realizes that her thoughts are a little hypocritical - after all, this whole situation screams supernatural. The way that everyone's memories have been messed with is surely the work of something Satoko can't even begin to imagine... still, that could be the work of some kind of- technology, or something, right?

...That explanation seems almost as far-fetched as the supernatural one. But to be honest, Satoko doesn't know what to think. Eventually, after watching Ritsuka for a while, Satoko decides to enter the room, opening the door slowly and a little nervously. ]

Umm... are you quite alright?

I'm fine! [Ritsuka gives a thumbs-up from her position on the floor. Truly, the most reassuring of gestures.]

I'm just worried that this is going to blow up in my face so I need to get it perfect.

The problem is that I don't 100% remember what the summoning circle is like, so that's a bit, you know, difficult.

[If only Ritsuka had a Caster with her. Which is what successfully performing this ritual might solve, ironically enough.]
