[on one end of floor twelve, a group of ghosts can be found moving an inexplicably large...sofa bed...into room 1219. And there is a distinctly un-ghostly person "supervising," by which we really mean "sitting in her comfy-looking throne chair, daintily eating the sundae before her." Maybe it begets the question of why a headspace which resembles an office needs anything like a couch, but that's only a minor detail.

Besides, both furniture and ice cream are serious business, okay.

Passers-by might pick up the fleeting scent of spring blossoms, aside from that, little else would attract much attention at first glance. A couple of unfinished glasses can be spotted at the edge of the front table, as though she's just had visitors -- which is not incorrect, in a sense.

When the ghosts' mission is complete, she turns to the couch, looking pleased]

Much better.

[and if her voice echoes a little, it may be...just the acoustics of the room.

Or it may not]

[she frowns, leaning against the doorway]

The Student Council room?

[and she'll be sinking into the couch. AWESOME]

Did you expect someplace more exciting?

[sexyhitchhiker.livejournal.com]

Not really. [automatically crossing over to perch on the desk]

The tea aisle in the grocery store is less exciting.

In certain ways. [she has the smile of a person who's had ~*adventures*~ in grocery stores...whatever those could be] This does bring back memories, though.

[she rolls her eyes at your grocery store BS]

What, of getting your eardrums blown out?

[ambuscades.livejournal.com]

And fonder ones. Tokiha-san's transfer caused quite the fuss, for example.

[sexyhitchhiker.livejournal.com]

Mai? [a frown] Was it the burning crop circles?

[man, that was so long ago]

[ambuscades.livejournal.com]

There were lots of rumours, you know. Some were remarkably close to the truth. [in hindsight, that could have been. Inconvenient.] Most were remarkably ridiculous.

[sexyhitchhiker.livejournal.com]

[eyebrow raise]

Did somebody really think that the spirit of a caged dragon phoenix monster did it?

[ambuscades.livejournal.com]

Along those lines. Back then, such an idea would actually be met with incredulity, even with the few witnesses...

[keywords being "back then"]

[sexyhitchhiker.livejournal.com]

I think 'what the hell were you smoking' would be more apt.

[not saying anything about how District 1 probably did something to those witnesses]

[ambuscades.livejournal.com]

[frigging ancient conspiracies :\]

A concocted, believable explanation tends to work better than the unbelievable truth, I suppose.

[she sighs and looks around, eyes settling on the glasses]

Had somebody over?
