The nurse never mentioned which class that Ibarazaki girl is in. That means having to go through all of them to get some information on her.
Didn't sound like much fun, but it was probably better, in the long run, than doing nothing, so she got herself up to it as soon as the next recess started. People will probably be staying in their own classroom for such a short one, so it's probably the best time to find them all in.
All you have to do is start with the first one and move on until you fins someone who knows something about Ibarazaki Emi.

It was in times like this one when she thanked for going to a special needs school. Classes are tiny, relatively speaking, and there are a few of them. It would be possible to be done in an hour, if she's quick about it.

Then she could see what to do about the case itself...

"Yes...I suppose you could be right. Hell is a descriptive enough metaphor," Lilly said, chuckling along with Osamu, albeit softly.
"You wish to know what happened to me, correct? I'm afraid there is not much I can remember. All I can recall was a growling to the right of me as the two of us -- Hisao and myself -- were walking, then losing consciousness. I don't recall much else afterward, aside from calling out to that girl. After that, I woke up here, in this bed."

Lilly folded her hands, placing them on her lap as she finished speaking.
"So, Osamu, what happened to you?"

------------------

As Lydia predicted, Matsumoto did show up to afternoon classes, albeit with a cast on his arm.
"That's odd. How did he break his arm? He can't walk and fall down like the rest of us..." Lidia said to herself as she listened to the lecture.

After class, she decided to ask him about his arm. Luckily for her, three other girls were also thinking the same thing; this would save her an awkward moment.
"So, how did you break your arm?" asked one of the girls as she approached.
"Well, I was taking a shower, when I...slipped...on some soap."
"Awww! Poor Matsumoto. Can we sign your cast?"
"S-sure! No problem," he said, blushing a little bit as he said so, "Let me get a marker here."
"Really? Hmm..."
Lydia, lost in thought, left the room to think about the situation.


OOC: Finals and other RL stuffs. Sorry for the delay!

Finding the right class didn't take too long. There were only so many twelfth grade classes. Ibarazaki seemed to be moderately popular around some of them. At the very least, it seemed that a lot of people knew about her name. She managed to quickly find someone who led her to the class, and from there it was just a matter of finding someone who was, say, a member of the same club, and ask some questions.
Some rather plain looking boy who's name she didn't even remember.
"You are a friend of Ibarazaki's, right?"
She proceeded to ask him a few questions of the top of her mind. Where did the girl usually hang out? Who were her friends? Was there anything about her as of late that seemed weird or suspicious?
She waited attentively for his answers, writing them down as he went.

OOG: Does she learn anything useful?

Breakfast passed for Sousuke without any sign of either Hitomi or Ibarazaki, once more. He stuck around for as long as
he could afford to, but ultimately he decided that his need to go to class outweighed his need to investigate further.

I might just have better luck if I just ask the people in my class directly if they've noticed anything strange going
on recently, but there's also the possibility that nobody will have seen anything. Still, I'm willing to bet that
there are at least a few people there who can give me a bit of general background knowledge about that Emi girl.

With that, Sousuke headed off towards his morning classes to find a better way to seek his prey.

Lilly folded her hands, placing them on her lap as she finished speaking.
"So, Osamu, what happened to you?"

Osamu had a feeling she would ask him this.

"Well might as well tell what happen and see if she takes it as face value." he says to himself.

“I hope she will understand some of what has happened to her and her companion, but expect anything from her Osamu.” Malbon says in his mind.

"If you hear me out on what I am going say, let me explain it fully and once I am done. You can decide if I am crazy or not. But what I am about to say did happen." he says to her.

Osamu asks the nurse attending her for a few private minutes. Once the nurse leaves he begins to explain what happened the previous nights, including the battle between her and Hisao. And how he and everyone ended up with various levels of damage and recovering. This goes on for several minutes.

"I hope all this is not going over your head or anything. But this is the true Lilly. Is there any other questions you have to ask me?" he asks as he waits for her reaction to the whole thing.

OOC: FINALLY. School's out. Now we can finish this story of ours. Sorry for the delay (again), everyone!

"You know, after what happened, that doesn't seem that unbelievable. But, still...the truth troubles me still. If those creatures you call 'demons' exist, how soon will it be until this happens again?"

The two were silent for a while. Soon after, the attending nurse came in again.
"Excuse me sir, but I need to run some tests on Ms. Satou."
Lilly smiled before saying farewell to Osamu.
"It was nice talking to you, Osamu. Perhaps we can speak again?"

-------------------------------

Osamu nods as he wheels himself out of the room. Once in the hallway he makes his way back to his room. He start to think about the current situation.

"Hopefully this downtime will not be bad for us. For all we know an attack will come from them at any time, and we'd be at a disadvantage."

"Maybe you should concentrate more on getting well first Osamu. I have confidence in our group should something arise they will deal with it accordingly. You need to get well in order to help your friends out." Malbon speaks from inside his mind.

A few minutes pass and Osamu is back into his room, with help of a nurse he gets back into his bed. Shortly he is resting once again as he closes his eyes.

The boy stammered a bit at Hitomi's odd questions.

"W-well, I know she's on the track team. She's always running on the track outside as soon as class lets out."

"I know that she hangs out with that one armless chick...Tezuka, I think."

"I haven't heard much about her at all. All I know is that she's on the track team, and runs a lot."

-----------------------------

Makoto was busy. Not only did she have to catch up on a day of lectures, she still needed to find out more on the two individuals she had to track down. Even though they were well-known amongst the student populace, Shizune and Misha weren't well-known for their loud announcement of demonic secrets.

From what she already had gathered:
1. Shizune was essentially the ideas person of the student council, while Misha was the -quite literal- mouthpiece for the otherwise mute President.

2. Misha and Shizune were almost always together, and were rarely seen apart.

3. They communicated via sign language, something few students knew about.

So, in other words, Makoto could conclude that:
1. Either one or both of them could discuss their plans in secret via sign language.

2. They would not need to worry about getting attacked, as they were always together.

"It's an ideal facade," she thought. "But they still don't seem like likely culprits. They would need more people to do their dirty work; two members aren't nearly enough."

Makoto decided to wait until the evening to talk with everyone else.

OOC: Since it has been almost a month since I've heard from anyone, I'm just posting here to see if anyone's still out there.

OOC: I am still here but I've been really busy the last few months, and it also sort of seems like interest in this RP has been waning all around lately. Still would be happy to continue if you guys want to.

OOC: Still here and checking when I can. Just waiting for the next steps, lol.

OOC: Checking in, hope we can finish this story up :).

Same here, but it looks like Minister of Gloom and Smoku may have left us. We'll have to figure out a new arrangement if that is the case.

OOC: Still waiting for any replies, I am still here should we ever finish this story. :)

As am I, but judging from the fact that Hamadyne hasn't even been on here in 2 and a half months now I don't really expect to see anything more here unless something big changes.

OOC: Man, now I feel terrible. I left you guys in the dust after all this time. I didn't recieve any replies to this thread - I had set it to e-mail me automatically, but it looks like that didn't work out the way it should have. And it's my fault for not checking proper.

I wholeheartedly apologize for leaving this behind for so long; words aren't enough for this. If you guys aren't interested in continuing, I understand. Let me know what you want to do.

OOC: Still here. :) Just let us know when to start it up again. But now with the full release out some will be out playing that right now, lol.

OOC: Thank goodness. Well, it looks like we'll have to contact the other party members. Let's wait a few more days, as the full release is bound to inspire some good stuff for this RP.

OOC: Still here, finished playing KS and ready to go forward with this if others wish to continue.

OOC: Same here. I have yet to hear a response from the others. I'll message them again.
