(|============== Seven Sisters High School - Classroom Building ==============|)
-=============================================== Sumaru City/Rengedai Ward ====-
A prestigious school at the heart of Sumaru City, Seven Sisters High School is
known for three things: its despicable Principal Hanya, who was recently
brutally murdered; its caring teachers, who are generally eager to help their
students out; and the fact that if you can get a hold of the emblem sewn on the
breast of the school's uniform, it will protect you from the Joker Curse. So the
rumors say, anyway.
The building itself breaks up its students along three stories, with first years
on the first, second years on the second, and so on. The foyer is populated with
school lockers where students can store their things and trade their shoes for
school slippers in the morning and vice versa after classes. A smaller fourth
floor leads to the clocktower. A live-in janitor and his wife take care of the
grounds, from the school itself to the athletic fields to the statue and strange
monolith in back to the clocktower itself. Out back, there are bike racks for
students who ride to school--including on motorcycles. Classes are robust and
stimulating, and there are plenty of clubs for afterschool activities.
Its uniform consists of a black jacket and slacks for the boys, and a black
sailor collar and skirt for the girls. The black is striped once in white on the
collar and on the slacks/skirt. Boys wear a tie, and girls, a neck ribbon. First
years are marked by this tie or ribbon being green; second years, red; and third
years, blue.

<Pose Tracker> Misato Fushihara has posed.
It's Monday - the same Monday as the return of Dance Class. The interschool cultural festival is still a couple of weeks away and there's a lot that hasn't been decided yet, but there's still some preparation to do in advance.
Today, errand duty for Sevens' class 2-C falls to Misato and Lisa. They've been asked to transport some materials, leading them to a supply closet.
"Let's see... I think this is the right one." Misato says, flipping on a light switch. There's a lot of items in various shapes and sizes here - given Seven Sisters High's prestigious history, some of them have been here for a while... They might have seen use in culture festivals of years past.
It'd be easy to get distracted - but they don't want to take too long, so Misato approaches what they've been sent here for. It's not necessarily heavy, but it's big and unwieldy enough to make it a two-person job.
"Can you get the other end, Silverman-san?" Misato asks.
She was in a lower mood than usual nearing the end of Dance Class, but it seems to have picked back up since then...
<Pose Tracker> Lisa Silverman has posed.
Monday! The 3rd! It's been a pretty good day for Lisa, but there is the matter of errand duty... Which is fine, she guesses.
beside,s it's a chance to meet a classmate she hasn't talked to that much. The Items have been here for a while, but--
"Hai!" Lisa answers, sprinkling yet more Cantonese into her speech as is her wont. "Here we go--"
She moves to pick up her end, and it will be a two-person job... though maybe not for that Tyrrha.
"You got your side?"
<Pose Tracker> Misato Fushihara has posed.
Tyrrha probably would be able to handle this with ease. Misato can't tell where she gets that strength. Was she just showing off, or is that just how she is?
Lisa gets one end, and Misato gets the others,
"I do. Here we go..." Misato says. With a grunt of effort, the item is lifted and supported between them. "Let's see, um... do you want to lead the way, or me?"
While they reorient themselves appropriately, Misato 'hmm's for a moment.
"...This past month has been exciting, hasn't it~?" Misato ventures - practically out of nowhere. "First Hoshizora-san in our class, and now Ijuuin-chan... What's your take, Silverman-san?"
<Pose Tracker> Lisa Silverman has posed.
"I can go ahead!" Lisa volunteers. "I probably won't run into anything if you warn me first, right?" She smiles.
But hmm? It's a little exciting... There's a lot going on lately.
But it's also a little surprising to just hear. Lisa rolls with it though. "Hm, yeah," she says. "I've been so busy with stuff, but it's a good reason to keep paying attention at school, right?" She smiles. "I'd like to get to know Hoshizora-san a little better," Lisa says. "And you!"
"I sort of appreciate our class more now that I'm doing all this other stuff, you know? So I guess that's my take. When you're busy, it's more important to appreciate what's around you."
<Pose Tracker> Misato Fushihara has posed.
"I'll do my best!" Misato assures, offering a wink. ...That might not be very reassuring, but she will try to call out any incoming obstacles. She nods, as Lisa says it's a good reason to keep paying attention.
"Mm-hm. Don't wanna miss out on anything!" She agrees. She mentions Yuuki and Misato nods - though she's surprised when she says her, too.
"Oh, me?" She replies with a small laugh. "I'm not sure how much there is to learn there!"
Her expression does turn thoughtful, though, as Lisa gives her take.
"I can see that... If you don't pay attention it, it'll all fly by you before you know it." She agrees.
<Pose Tracker> Lisa Silverman has posed.
A wink! Lisa laughs. "If I hit a pole you owe me a soda," she raises the stakes. But not missing out...
It's important! "Oh, everybody's got something," Lisa is sure. "It's not all as flashy as being an idol or whatever, but I'm sure you've got something that excites you!"
Her take... Lisa huffs along with lifting the thing, glancing over her shoulder as they round a corner.
"That's right," Lisa says. "We're supposed to appreciate our youth, right?"
<Pose Tracker> Misato Fushihara has posed.
"I'll have to be extra careful, then!" Misato replies. She definitely wouldn't want to owe anyone anything...
Everybody has something, huh? Misato considers that for a moment. What does she have...?
She takes a moment to adjust her hold on their burden.
"I guess I do enjoy baking." Misato admits after a moment with a shrug.
They start to round a corner.
"You're clear!" She assures, and thinks then about what she says next.
"That's what they say!" Misato replies. "We might as well make the most of our time, right?"
<Pose Tracker> Lisa Silverman has posed.
"Oh, baking's great!" Lisa answers, unaware of the perils of debt. Instead she says, "What do you bake?" she wonders. "What got you into it? I can cook a little, but..."
Not as much as baking. But she's clear! "Whoa--" Almost slips, but only almost. She smiles back.
"That's what I figure. I mean, I guess I'm doing that. But I want to try to do it... right."
<Pose Tracker> Misato Fushihara has posed.
Baking receives a favorable response, and it's a safe topic, so...
"Hm... A little bit of everything? My specialty is sweets, but I can make all kinds of things..." Misato replies. As for what got her into it, that requires a bit more careful navigation. "Well... I found myself with a lot of time on my hands and needed something to keep myself busy, I guess. And I found the process relaxing, so... Not very interesting, I know!"
She shrugs.
"...How about you? What got you into singing?" Misato asks. And Lisa slips!! "Ah, are you alright, Silverman-san?"
Doing it right... Misato 'hmm's thoughtfully.
"But what's the 'right' way?" She asks. "What's 'right' for you might not be right for me, after all..."
<Pose Tracker> Lisa Silverman has posed.
"Oh, cool! I love sweets," Lisa answers brightly. But as far as she can tell, maybe Misato's shy; she wants to encourage her, accordingly. "Nah, that makes sense to me. You gotta do something with your time, right? And making stuff is good."
But her? "I'm okay, I'm okay!" Lisa answers. "Just lost my grip a little. --Mostly, I got into singing because I did it with my friends, and then we got lucky. It was dancing I was originally most into, but the singing is really rewarding, too."
"...That's kinda the question, right?" Lisa asks. "What's 'right'? I don't know yet. Maybe I have to figure that out first."
<Pose Tracker> Misato Fushihara has posed.
"Doesn't everyone~?" Misato agrees, matching Lisa's brightness. "They're a good way to break the ice!"
What she says makes sense to Lisa. Misato nods.
"Mm-hm. It's nice having something to show for it. And... it's meditative, I guess." She replies. Lisa is okay, though. "Ah, good!"
She listens as she answers her question. Something she did with her friends, and then they got lucky...
"I guess luck has a lot to do with it, huh? Right time and place, and your whole life changes..." She considers.
It seems Lisa doesn't know what's 'right' yet, either.
"Maybe... They sure don't make it easy, huh." She sympathises.
<Pose Tracker> Lisa Silverman has posed.
Meditative... Hmmm. "My dad wants me to get into more 'meditative' stuff," Lisa admits, "But I don't really have the patience..."
Luck! Lisa turns another corner down the hall, and starts up the stairs behind herself. "It's true," she says. "It's hard work, but we never would've gotten the chance if we hadn't been 'noticed'. I'm glad we did, of course! It's great!"
But they don't make it easy...
"True," she says. "And I think there's a different 'right' for everybody, maybe."
<Pose Tracker> Misato Fushihara has posed.
"I get it. It took me a while to adjust, too." Misato sympathises. "Some people just do better with more active stuff."
Lisa turns a corner and starts up the stairs, and Misato follows along. At one point, halfway up the staircase, Misato calls out someone coming down on the other side so they can make space and let them through.
Lisa agrees about luck. Misato nods.
"You do seem really into it... I guess you'd have to be, to keep at it even when it takes up so much time." She comments, and then nods. "Mm-hm... Nothing we can do but try and figure out what the 'right way' is for ourselves before it's too late, I guess."
<Pose Tracker> Lisa Silverman has posed.
"Like me!"
Lisa accepts the warning--"Oh, sorry!" and is gladly /not/ knocked over and/or knocking over someone else. It's fine! Super fine.
"Oh, yeah. Like... I mean, you kind of have to appreciate something like that, when you get it."
"It's wrong, not to."
But the right way... Hmmm.
"Then good luck to both of us, Fushihara-san!"
<Pose Tracker> Misato Fushihara has posed.
"If you passed up an opportunity like that... I bet it's something you'd regret." Misato replies with a nod. 'Have to', though... She thinks about that for a moment, her expression turning pensive. She smiles again, though, when Lisa wishes them both luck.
"Yes, good luck to us~!" She agrees.
