Post #2517936 in Clockwork Days, a roleplay on RPG

Outside, a newcomer stood as she surveyed the school from top to bottom. Wondering what kind of life she'll lead here, she heads on inside, ready to face the regular life within the Academy gates. She managed to make it just before homeroom. As soon as their adviser, Ms. Hatsuyuki entered the room, introductions went underway.
"Sheesh....Oh, hey! The name's Kurai Kanato, age 16! Great to meet you all!"
"An enthusiastic young man. Seems to be the typical extrovert. Still, gotta hand it to him to try to come off as friendly at the first day."
"I'm Koemi Shironoa. If you are a time traveller, please come talk to me."
"How frank. I wonder if she has any idea about what she is talking about?"
"Uh, Konoha Hatsuyuki. I guess it's nice to meet everyone..."
"So now we have our introvert. The "shy girl" of this class. I wonder if extrovert-kun will get the courage to talk to her."
Their teacher flipped through the next profile and a small frown manifested on her face.
"Hmmm...here again, Inori?"
At the mention of the name, a rather tall girl stood up from her desk and lazily walked to the front of the class.
"Well, well, so this is the new batch? I'm Inori Itsuna. No need to be so formal around me, we're all young anyway, right? Hehe, just kidding. I'm way older than you lot so, don't go around calling me Itsuna-chan or something. If you do that...well, let's just say that I already made reservations in the cemetery beforehand, kay?"
"Inori, please don't taunt the newcomers."
"I was only kidding around, Momoko-sensei."
"Yeah, and that kidding around might make you repeat again."
"......I better not get myself involved with this woman too much..."
A few more introductions later and it was 'her' time to introduce herself. She had to go last since she wasn't from an older batch. In fact, all her records were clean. Not much information was on her. She can easily appear and disappear anytime she pleases.
"All right, our last one is a transfer from the neighboring school, St. Gabriel's. Now, why don't you introduce yourself?"
"Yo! Misaya. Saika Misaya but, you can call me Saya. In fact, I prefer it that way. I hope we all get along."
She finished with a bow and took her seat. Seeing all these people, she knew that it was going to be an interesting year.

Yuki had followed the wolf's tracks, all the way up North, where a lot of the nobility's houses were concentrated. They had divided and seeing one was in preparation to strike a lady, he rode on, getting in between them with Valiant. He tilted Valiant back, rearing him up on his hind legs in order to intimidate the predator. Not willing to take on a larger beast, the wolf fled, disappearing into the woods.
"Madam, please go back to your house. Ti's way past curfew and who knows what manner of creatures roam at this time of the night."
Without getting off, he advised the woman only to find out that she was the same girl whom he returned the flowers to. The same girl at the train station.
"You were the same girl back then. I know that it isn't my business to ask but, the laws have clearly stated that all people must be in their houses at this time, 'cept for us who have to do these patrols."
Yuki heard the sound of approaching hooves in their direction. Turning around, he saw three more Rounders heading for him. He moved closer and asked why they seemed troubled.
"Barthes, what's going on?"
"Trouble Yuki, it seems that wanted thief had struck again. This time, it was the Fujikawa household."
"Got it. I'll check around the East then."
"Damn that kid, how does he find all this houses anyway?"
"It's a small town Barthes. Everyone knows where everyone lives."
Passing by the girl from earlier, he gave her last words of warning.
"I hope this isn't too much of a troubling night for you madam. I'd offer to take you but, I have to check by the harbor. Collins may be willing to give you a ride. Well then, I bid you have a safe night."
Yuki turned around and rode back to the harbor, to see if he can intercept the thief there. This one may be known for his notorious reputation but, with this many Rounders on patrol, today may just be the day he finally gets caught.
