Homecoming

"Pineapples are not good," Noct said, "Like watermelons."

"I like watermelons though..." Sab said.

"Clearly you have no taste in good food," Noct said.

Sab frowns and begins to eat the mushroom half of her pizza, ignoring the two assholes sitting across from her.

S"I suddenly feel as though this camaraderie was founded on lies."

*Aroma passes the breadstick box to Sab.*

A"Have a breadstick, Honey."
======================================
*Euryale opens her door, exposing a room with a laptop on a desk, an overflowing laundry hamper, red bedspread, curtains, & rug, & piles of schoolbooks all over the place.*

"Well...home sweet home. My...cast is yours, or however it is that goes."
=======================================
*He points at Grimm.*

"Don't you dare take that tone with me, Captain Creeper. You recorded Euryale & Taiyo in the middle of the night."
=======================================
*Nero just buys 2 of those, & sits down at an empty stool with another beside it.*

Taiyo: "Thanks, Euryale."

Taiyo kisses Euryale on the cheek.

Taiyo: "Good luck finding Vanessa."

===================================

Azuma: "Guess we report our lack of findings."

The two head to the entrance of the dorm building.

Mimiru: "Why not just call them?"

Azuma: "You never gave me Euryale's number."

Mimiru calls Euryale.

Astarte sat with him, and Hector said nearby and bought a beer.

"That is insulting and entirely untrue," Grimm snapped. "Do you have any proof to support this accusation?"

"Oh, thanks," Sab said, taking a breadstick. She takes a bite before taking a few seconds to strip her slice of pineapples.

"Honey, right, I need honey," Noct said, "Thanks for reminding me, Aroma."

"You know what you did, I'm not showing you the video, you sick bastard! Like you didn't keep a copy, anyway!"
================================
*Euryale smiles.*

"Thanks. On both counts."

*Then she answers her phone.*

"Hello?"
================================
*Aroma takes the pineapples & puts them on her own pizza. Senthose looks at Noctis, taking a breadstick for himself.*

"I know they're lesbians, if that's what you're doing. It wasn't hard to figure out."
=================================
"So, what have you been up to since we left the forest?"

Mimiru: "Hey. We haven't really found anything around here. Unless they climbed into the tree through another window which isn't an easy looking task, it's possible it might not have just been some creep."

"What, no, and it was pretty obvious already," Noct said, "I need honey for some cake."

Sab is blushing red.

"This is disgusting, I have done nothing like this," Grimm said. "Now get out."

"Trying to forget being in the forest, mostly."

"...Is the cake something that I should know about?"

*Now it's Aroma's turn to blush. But this doesn't stop her from eating breadsticks because breadsticks are amazing.*
=================================
"Well, why don't you get a groundskeeper & ask them to investigate the tree? See if there's anything there."
=================================
"You sure that's what you want? Because I'm calling the cops if I go."
=================================
"Well, that's not hard. We just have to do something else."

Mimiru: "There's no tracks or anything of the sorts at the base, but it's worth a shot."

"If anybody should be calling the police, it is me," Grimm said, before pausing. "But bringing officers here looks bad for the church, I don't want to disturb my congregation. How can I prove to you that I haven't 'filmed your friends'?"

"I guess, but there isn't much to do besides college," Astarte said. "And I'm not much of a hard-worker at the best of times."

Sab takes a bite of her's as well, because trufax about bread sticks.

Noct shakes her head, "Not really. I just got roped into making some cake, but I don't have all the ingredients." Noct took a bite of pizza, swallowed, then said, "Well 'roped' is a bad word. It should be pretty fun."

*Eve shrugs, looking for any footprints under the tree*
---
*Cameron heads off to his next class, a little upset*

"Alright, thanks. Is there anything else that I can help you with?"
=====================================
*Roatha points at him.*

"I hadn't thought of that."
=====================================
"You just have to know where to look. Like that track meet later today."
=====================================
*One person heads out of the library door, giving Monu an odd look for just standing out there.*
=====================================
OOC: With Ze Frank.

"I see."

"Thought of what? Actually finding proof for or against me, or making me look bad?" Grimm asked.

"I guess."

OOC: Who is Frank?

Since there really wasn't much to respond to after that, Noct and Sab go about eating their food.

*Monu shakes himself then heads off to find a seat*
---
<What are we going to say is the reason we want the tree investigated?>

Mimiru: "Track meet?"

Azuma: "Does she talk that loudly you can hear her over the phone?"

OOC: Ze Frank. He does the "true facts about" series on YouTube.

*Since she didn't say anything about a track meet, Euryale says goodbye & hangs up.*
===================================
*Roatha crosses his arms.*

"You make yourself look bad enough. Not like it's my fault you could be hiding the evidence & we'd never find it."
===================================
*I don't know where the fuck Monu is going, so he still gets stared at.*
===================================
"Right, so, you wanna go?"
===================================
*Euryale walks around looking for people & finds a blond chick in a pink halter top & jeans by a vending machine.*

"Hey, do you know a girl named Vanessa? Glasses, black hair in a ponytail?"

*She shakes her head.*

"Well, I guess I shouldn't have expected it to be that easy. Thank you."

Mimiru hangs up.

Mimiru: "Guess we find a groundskeeper."

===================================

Taiyo sits down on the bed, looking about the room not expecting it to be how it is.

"I guess," Astarte said.

"Listen, it is innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around," Grimm sighed. "I'm offering to let you search the church and my home. You will find no incriminating evidence, and I give you my word, on the name of our Lord, that I have not committed any crimes or stalked your friends."

"Yea, sure," Noct said, "Let's go pay." With that she stood up and headed for the cashier to pay for her shit with silly German money.

*There is not one in the immediate area.*
===================================
*He pokes Grimm in the chest.*

"This isn't over. I got my eye on you. I'll be back. And you'll crack. They always do."

*He then turns, spotting Senthose coming out of a pizza place.*

"Hey! There's the other one! Let's get him!"
---------------------------------------------------------------
*Senthose hears Roatha shouting, & looks over to see him charging towards him, ducking around people walking down the sidewalk.*

"Well, shit, I guess they really are crazy."
===================================
"Great, but we've got a couple hours yet before that."

"Oh, it is that boy from before," Sab said.

"You know Roatha," Noct asked.

Sab shook her head, "Not really, I just lent him my notebook in class a few days ago."
