[Network ; Video]

[When the feed turns on, the people watching will be greeted by a rather pale-looking young woman with an obvious fondness for black clothing. She gives a short but friendly wave and a bright smile as greeting, before returning her expression to a more relaxed state.]

Say...has anyone ever noticed that this academy is lacking in terms of extracurricular activities? I don't mean physical activities, as we have a good sum of those...rather, I'm talking about activities that don't involve so much physical effort.

I for one would love to see some clubs rise up. A drama club, a chess club, perhaps even...a poker club? Of course, we wouldn't gamble anything, it could just be for fun!

[No sound comes out of the goth's mouth for a few seconds...and then she closes her eyes and lets out a soft giggle.]

It's just a thought, though admittedly one I can't seem to get out of my head. Would anyone else bet interested in setting up some clubs to brighten up our days? Surely I'm not the only one who thinks things have gotten slightly...dull around here.

[Celes gives the camera a final smile, before turning it off and cutting the feed.]

[Prose 1]

As stated in her post to the network, Celes really does not like physical activity all that much. She would much rather work her mind than work her body any day of the week. However...she doesn't mind exploring. She's only been her for a couple of days, so she hasn't really seen the entirety of the school just yet. However, she is making an effort to change all that by roaming around the school. Most likely you can find her walking down the corridors, curiously looking around.

This is indeed after the club network post she made, so you can always speak to her about that in person if you prefer it that way.

[Prose 2]

Classes have ended a few hours ago and the gambler had no homework what-so-ever. As such, she decided to go hang out at one of her favorite spots, the library! ...it beat being bored in her room, okay? Besides, they had sets of chess and checkers there and the librarian let her play cards so long as she didn't bet anything.

Casually, Celes strolled into the room at about three o'clock in the afternoon. After scanning the library for a few seconds, she takes a seat closest to the shelf with all the game sets and pulls out a deck of cards from her purse, placing it on the table. It's very obvious she's rather bored, as she performs a series of elaborate (but rather simple when you know them) card tricks with her deck. That is...until your character walks by. She'll offer them a bright smile, asking them ever so politely: "Hello there, fancy a game?"

So the nice thing about hallways? They are long and straight and narrow and great for running through! Which is precisely what Katt is doing right now because she is BORED TO DEATH. No sooner than she turns the corner, however, does she realize that this particular corridor is NOT vacant. OH SHIT.

Katt tries to footplant to a stop quickly, but with all the momentum she built up she wasn't able to manage it! Now she's hurtling toward the girl's direction with no way to control the impact!! WATCH OUT CELES!! SHE'S GOING TO--!!!

--CRASH?!

Because that's what happened. Celes' eyes widened as she realized she couldn't get out of the way in time, so she gets knocked unceremoniously on her backside, gritting her teeth as she hits the tiling. After a few seconds she managed to get on her feet, snarling at the other girl for making such a careless mistake.

"Watch where you're going!"

Katt, meanwhile, was not entirely recovered from the crash. She was bruised and hurt (both her pride and physically), and somehow managed to get one foot caught in the wires of the chandeliers that hang from the ceiling. You know, it's pretty easy not to notice how many chandeliers there are in this building. Maybe there was a sale at one time?

Katt was gracious in accepting her mistake. "WHATDYAMEAN 'WHAT WHERE I'M GOIN'!? I WAS WATCHIN' WHERE I WAS GOING, IDIOT! WHAT WERE YOU DOIN' STANDING THERE LIKE A STUPID PERSON!?"

...or not.

Clearly this was a very delicate situation. As such, one must carefully plan out their next course of action, otherwise a bad scenario like this could get a lot worse very quickly. It was a good thing Celes was an elegant and sophisticated young woman, one with maturity far beyond her years.

"I WAS WALKING, BITCH! NOT RUNNING DOWN THE HALLWAY LIKE A COMPLETE FUCKING ASSHOLE!"

...yep, sophisticated as fuck.

Katt's instinct was to yell, of course. But something caught her attention. She folded her arms, though, defiant that she was not at fault and that she was going to get back to yelling once this question gets cleared up.

"What's a 'bitch?'"

. . .

...it's a derogatory term for a woman. I can't believe you didn't know that.

"YEAH? WELL YOU'RE A BITCH, BITCH!!" At least she took Celes' word for it?

"You really couldn't even think of your own insult, so you had to steal mine? That's just sad." she's not even going to bother yelling after that little display, instead opting to play with one of her bangs and not even look at Katt.

Katt took the comment as a challenge and promptly began to curse at Celes in her native Chinese. The exact details is lost to this narrator, but a loose translation would be "Stupid cunt that smells foul and fornicates with domesticated beasts of burden."

Truthfully, Celes doesn't know much Chinese, being born in Japan. However, she does know a few words...and she's pretty sure she heard Katt mention something about fornicating. Naturally, this means "it's on, bitch".

The gambler fires back a series of insults in Japanese. Nothing's concrete at the moment, but the best team of monkey translators money can buy assured me she said something along the lines of "Filthy peasant who could only afford to eat by spreading her legs and screwing like the wench she is!"

Katt doesn't even understand her but it doesn't take a genius to know that she's being insulted! She's getting more creative with her insults, and throws in what MIGHT be "hopes she gets impaled up her butt hole" and "may she suffer the indignity of being regarded as the whore of the region."

Clearly, what we are witnessing is the true grace of Eastern women.

Not a single word Katt said sounded familiar to Celes, but knowing who she was dealing with, it was obvious that nothing good was being spewed from the catgirl's mouth. So in retaliation, Celes shouts at the top of her lungs yet another series of crude insults in her native tongue. One such insult involving a wish that this "fuzzy little shit head drowns in her own litter box" and that "her tail gets caught in a wood-chipper and she screams like the whore she is."

Classy.

Katt isn't listening to her before getting ready to retaliate with a next volley of insults. And while she might be ready, the chandelier that is holding her upside down isn't. The wires give and the catgirl is unceremoniously dumped onto the floor with a loud crash.

Edited 2012-12-07 01:02 (UTC)

Well...that happened.

While no words come from the gambler's mouth, it's obvious that she's a bit surprised...and a good deal amused at the poor catgirl's misfortune. Still, she isn't a complete bitch, and after a few seconds pass Celes walks over to what's left of the ceiling fixture and bends her body a bit to look at Katt.

"That's quite a fall you took...would you like me to call the nurse?"

Her whole body is telling her "yes," but that would mean asking help from her. As ignoble as being laid out on the ground and how much trouble picking herself was being, she would rather stay there crumpled than to admit defeat.

"Nooooooo..." She whimpered. She had hoped that she would be defiant and stalwart in her denial of aid, but the end results was just pathetic. Even Katt was embarassed.

With a shrug and a shake of her head, it's obvious that Celes is just as embarrassed as her, if not more so. Because seriously, was this the same girl that she was arguing with? Talk about a massive waste of time...

Celes smiles at the other girl, knowing damn well she's won this little toe-to-toe, regardless of what Katt thinks. "I'll take that as a yes. Don't go anywhere, I'll be right back..." ha, as if she had a choice in the matter.

Once she finishes talking, the goth gives her "rival" a short wave and walks down the hallway once more, causally looking for the nurse's office.

A mutant with a healing factor would be able to recover from an unceremonious crash into a petulant Japanese teen and shrug off a crash from ten feet up. Unfortunatel, Katt did not have a healing factor and was instead left down on the ground a crumpled mess. She wanted so much not to be there when the little BITCH (she would begrudgingly have to thank her for that word later) got back. It took every ounce of her will to begin clawing her way down the corridor. Though considering the speed she was moving, she'd have been able to get to her room by tomorrow night.

She was okay with that if it meant she would have to see the smug look on the brat's face.

It was no surprise that, judging by how fast she was going, Celes was indeed able to get the nurse and head back over there. Admittedly, though, she was quite impressed that the girl was able to move at all...even if it was less than ten feet. "I did say I would be back." the young gambler turns to the nurse and nods, as if to say 'yes, that's the moron that fell'.

After a final glance back and a big smile, Celes leaves Katt with the words "You should be in good hands now...try not to do anything stupid, despite how hard that may be for you." and is on her merry way.

It just so happens that Makoto happens to be perusing the place. Probably checking in and out books as usual. When the offer of a game comes up, she shakes her head.

"No." She said plainly. But perhaps Celes can rope her in anyhoo. And if not she'll be over on the next table watching her play card tricks.

Not being one to accept that kind of an answer, Celes will indeed do her best to rope her into it. "Are you sure?" she says with a smile, placing her deck of cards on the table and steepling her hands together. "I'll even let you pick the game."
