[So that weird pale girl that literally glows in the dark can be found sitting out in the sun by the lake. The temperature is cold enough to warrant a light coat and yet there she is in a short-sleeved shirt and long skirt. She has a blanket with her but it's clearly being used to sit on, not for warmth. Despite the cool temperature she seems perfectly at home with that thick tome in her lap.

She seems oblivious to all that goes on around her; as if completely focused upon her book. She is, in fact, completely enthralled with vampire novel she's currently devouring. And yet, the truth of the matter is quite the opposite. She's perfectly aware of everything around her. Perhaps not the sounds being made but the location of every object and body is known to her. At this very moment, if asked, she could tell you exactly where someone was.

Jumping back to calling this girl weird. Certainly everyone in the school is some kind of weird but perhaps Kanaya takes the title. It's been said she's sampled blood from other students. That she thinks herself some kind of vampire like in the books she's thoroughly obsessed with. No on can say for sure if the rumors are true but many swear they are.]

Do you know Pamela Isley? She mentioned something about putting together a botany club a while back! I'm sure she'd be pleased to hear someone else would be interested.

Im Afraid I Dont Know This Pamela Isley But Im Sure That Is A Problem That Can Soon Be Rectified Thank You Very Much For This Bit Of Information I Will See About Getting In Touch With Her As Soon As Possible

It's no problem!

The fashion idea is actually pretty cool, too. There's lots of things to do around here, so I'm sure finding something to do that isn't homework will be pretty easy.

By the by, my name's Kirino. What's yours?

Other Suggestions For Things To Do Are Always Welcomed They May Not Always Be Aceepted But They Are Very Much Welcomed Kanaya

There's a soccer team that could always use new members. Or a manager, failing that.
I think there's a fencing team, and one of the teachers was talking about a chess club. The drama department could also probably use an extra pair of hands.
If you do get the fashion club going, I'd be interested; it'll give me an excuse to start sewing again beyond mending my own clothing.

It's nice to meet you, Kanaya!

Im Afraid I Know Very Little About Sports As Ive Never Been Much Of A Fan Chess Does Not Sound Like A Terrible Idea However And I Would Not Mind Working With The Drama Department Especially For Costuming If They Need it Should The Fashion Club Get Off The Ground I Will Be Sure To Let You Know Likewise Kirino

Well, to each their own, as they say.
As for the drama department work, Mr. Wagner is the one you'll want to talk to about it!

So, I take it you're a new student here?

cause we have literally the best club anywhere ever

BAM! the crossdressing and bible studies club!!! theres a few names floating around but i think Hail Holy Queens is the best lol

also u could ttly get us on board 4 ur fashion thing or w/e

Edited 2013-03-03 08:41 (UTC)

Thats Um An Interesting Idea For A Club Unfortunately I Am Biologically Female And Prefer To Dress As Such Therefore I Do Not Think Myself A Good Fit For Your Club Im Also Not Very Religious But I Do Quite Like The Name Hail Holy Queens It Has A Nice Ring To It Excellent Shall The Idea Pan Out I Will Be Sure To Let You Know

i so get that, dresses are way cuter anyway ;D

weve got ppl coming to hang that arent into religion or dressing up, so you could probly come chill either way. and duh, of course the name is awesome, i like came up w/ it myself!!

...but if you dont wanna check out our club, im in for the fashion thign, too. my power can help, once lents over and i can use it on my clothes again :D

[What could possibly be weird about giving up abusing your mutant superpower for vanity's sake for Lent?]

Edited 2013-03-03 09:48 (UTC)

If It Would Not Be Considered Intrusive I May Poke My Head In To See How Things Are Going Out Of Curiosity Naturally Im Intriguied What Exactly Is Your Power

sure, nbd, i can let u know when were meeting again!

and lets just say i have a SUPER active imagination ;) its like illusions except not exactly, 'cause i have to have something to work with and it goes back to normal after a while, but what i imagine can be, like, physically real

its kinda hard 2 explain actually i guess? id show u but i cant do it on my clothes this month, like i said

like ok, last month i was in a fight and some1 threw a knife at my friend and i turned it into a fish. it went back 2 being a knife later, but it was really a fish when it hit her. does that make sense?

That Would Be Much Appreciated That Certainly Sounds Like An Incredibly Fascinating Ability You Possess One That Has Many Practical and Fun Implementations I Would Like To See It In Action When You Are Allowing Yourself To Use It Again

yeah it pretty much ttly kicks ass ;D

i can show u on something else if u want, i just cant do it on my clothes right nwo

[Would Kanaya be aware of others even if they were above?]

[Because there's the growing sound of wings flapping frantically in the sky, approaching the lake. A bat-winged woman seems to be chasing something in a soaring arc, and she's diving after it.]

[She manages to catch the object (likely a clay pigeon), but yells and fails to pull out of her dive in time before—SPLASH]

[The young woman's trudging out of the lake soon enough, a stack of white disks under her arm and a rather colorful choice of French phrases. Today also seems to be a vampire-themed day, given how the young woman shaking water from her wings is also extraordinarily pale and has bright red eyes. She hasn't noticed Kanaya yet, more preoccupied with her landing (or lack thereof).]

[Kanaya is aware of all. Her gift is hard to explain but it allows her to know exactly where in space anyone or anything is. It's not so much something she sense as she can see. However, she doesn't bother look up as the figure flies over. The splash and following sloshing of Remilia dragging herself out of the lake doesn't appear to draw the pale girl's attention.

With her eyes still glued to her book she speaks:] I have to say that was quite an outstanding landing.

Edited 2013-03-03 09:11 (UTC)

Hmph.

[Her wings snap out quickly a few times, then fold. Remilia won't be getting them any drier than that.]

I haven't missed a disk yet, and I'm hardly going to let birdbrain's challenges change that. [Remilia plops the items down to wring lake water from her hair.]

Well, I admit that most of my experience with making clothes if for cosplay, but I would love to actually do some sewing with others who are interested. I've got a sewing machine and a lot of second hand clothes to cannibalize.

Cosplay At Least You Have Some Experience As The Principles Are Really No Different I Much Prefer To Make Things From Scratch Rather Than Alter Existing Clothing However Finding Room To Store Fabric Will Be A Bit Of A Challenge Do They Offer Up Space For Clubs Or Would We Have To Make Due With Meeting In One Of The Provided Student Boarding Rooms

Oh, they usually allow us to make use of one of the leisure rooms or lesser used classrooms, and there's always some way of storing things.

[He laughs.] I have done some of my own pattern-making and such - mostly for historical clothing - but nice fabrics are always a bit on the expensive side. But I think clubs get a bit of a money from the school - oh, and I'm sure Lorna would like it! [And that would help with money. Never say he's not practical.]

Wonderful News We Would Need Space For This Kind Of Thing After All Pattern Making Can Be Quite Difficult Im Glad To Hear That Its Something Youre Familiar With I Couldnt Ask The Others To Shell Out Money For Fabric Unless It Was Something They Wished To Personally Use

My brother leads the cooking club, and he says that the school is usually pretty forthcoming with helping the clubs out with what they need.

[He giggles, his voice managing to be both airy and matter of fact.] Oh, and if we ever go on shopping trips for the club, it won't be a matter of trying to convince Lorna not to pay for your things, because you couldn't. You'll simply have to concentrate on ensuring her that you don't need real pearls for your dress.

Oh There Is A Cooking Club As Well I May Find It Difficult To Pick Activities I Can Actually Fit Into My Schedule How Interesting

Edited 2013-03-04 00:19 (UTC)

Oh yes! I'm in it since it's my twin's club, and the crossdressing/bible studies club since I'm one of the founding members, and in one of the X-teams. This school has a tendency of eating quite a lot of your spare time. My brother is involved in six extracurricular activities. Overachiever.

[A small, amused noise.] And you have no idea.
