Kumiko had an exciting day ahead of her tomorrow. She chatted on the phone with a Gal whom she met at a meet up once before. It had been a lengthy conversation, so long that she started to wander about the halls. She stopped by a large cushioned chair to gab in it.
"Yeah, I know! I already did that! Mm hmm. Yeah, all day. I feel great."
"Yeah, I know! I already did that! Mm hmm. Yeah, all day. I feel great."
Yamada's jaw clenched some and he wasn't sure if he should flee or if he should just approach them both. He decided to be more of a man about this. These were the two of them that he'd have wanted to be confronted by the least. He nodded to them both, but wasn't sure what to say at first.
If they were going to have to go into this, he was sure he didn't want them to have the upper hand in it, but they knew so much more about this than he did. "What, exactly, is a Persona?" He seemed very determined when he said it, as if somehow he already knew the answer to his own question.

Kojiro sighed as Isoroku opened his mouth, and then practically rammed his head into the wall when Yamada asked what a persona was. He leaned his head back and shouted at no one, "Thanks for the notice about those bears Igor!"
He locked up the door and walked up to Yamada, "You've had the dream, haven't you- No you know what skip that! You've been spying on us. I shouldn't tell you anything for doing so! After all we're trying to get the answers our self and you showed up earlier and stopped us." Crossed his arms and glared debating what to do about Yamada.

When Eber entered the girls' dorm, there was the briefest period of silence before the door clicked closed and all the female students started chattering faster than ever.
"Furido-san, did you come for tutoring?"
"Did you come to borrow something?"
"Are you hungry, Furidomon-kun?!"
"Actually..." He carefully slipped out of the small mob, standing apart from them but still commanding attention, "I came to see Mizushima-senpai. Could you please tell me the way?"

The noise level in the room picked up suddenly. Kumiko eyed the area to find what had gotten the girls so excited. A tall blond sticking out amongst a sea of women. "Uh...I'll...have to call you back later..." without saying goodbye or waiting for a response, she hung up the phone. 'Did he just ask for me?' there was no real way to be certain, the girls distorted everything she heard. 'It's that guy from before.'
Kumiko stood up and approached the crowd.

Yamada stared at him for a long moment. "You're right. I shouldn't have spied, but you must admit, Ishikawa-San, you're doing a terrible job at being discreet." He inclined his head to Yoshida. "Especially not when one is screaming about it at a senior where anyone could hear."
He frowned but spoke toward Ishikawa again. "But yes, I have had the dream. If you have to get information you should find a better way to do it. You were too harsh on Seiya-Sempai."

"Ah, please excuse me..." He edged around the women, trying to avoid their invasive questions. Eber was relieved to see Kumiko so close by. "Senpai." He smiled at his own success. "May we speak, please? I would prefer it if we took a walk."
All of the girls in the lobby watched Kumiko with wide, expectant eyes.

She was tempted to look at her watch or a clock and argue that it was probably not best. But there was a charm to him that made that idea go right out the window. It didn't really bother her too much. She wanted to speak with him as well. "Yeah, sure." she nodded, returning Eber's smile.
She could almost hear hearts breaking.

Kojiro frowned, Yamada was right...sort of, "Rin tried talking to her. You know? Junsui? She's the mousiest girl in the school, and Seiya-senpai was rude to her first. Sorry if we felt like giving back to her what she gave to our friend." He lowered his head and rubbed his eyes. No no no, this was not going to work. If Yamada had had the dreams then he was in the same boat as they were.
"Look, Yamada, Seiya-senpai, doesn't matter right now....if you had the dream about the shadow, Igor, Eleanore and the train, then you have a persona too. Meaning you too will be turned away by Seiya-senpai, no matter how much you stand up for her. She thinks she's helping us, but even she doesn't have all the answers..."
He turned to Isoroku, "Roku-kun, let's take Yamada with us to dinner," he turned his attention to his classmate, "We can explain it then. But not here."

Eber offered the crook of his elbow to her, much in the same gentlemanly fashion as he'd treated her the previous night. He led her out of the building and around the side of it, heading in no particular direction so long as it was fairly isolated from eavesdroppers.
"Does Senpai have a desire to return to the train station tonight? It would appear that the others from our excursion last night are intending to make a second campaign. I thought it unfair not to involve you."

"Oh you get to the point fairly quickly, don't you?" Kumiko was fairly certain that he was going to pussyfoot around the subject and not jump right into it. "They're going back to the train?" She retreated into her mind to mull over the situation. As dangerous as it was, going back to the monster infested area was probably the only way she'd get any closer to figuring out the purpose of her power. "I thank you for the thought. I'll go. Who else is going to protect those guys?" she nudged the charismatic boy. "I could use some protection too. Hmmm, you know, I never caught your name..."
Yamada frowned at the disrespect of the name Ishikawa used for him, but also at his words. Why would she turn them away? If it was just to protect them he understood some, but at the same time...they were part of this. Even he knew that and he barely knew what was happening. He was sure there had to be more to her reasoning.
"You're right. This isn't the right place for this." He stood there, a bit awkwardly, not sure he wanted to go anywhere with Yoshida. He wondered what it was about them that made them whatever it was they were. He was sure though, that Ishikawa understood right then, that no matter what happened, he was going to that train tonight.

Eber smiled somewhat slyly. "As far as I saw last night, you are quite capable of defending yourself." He seemed pleased with himself though for receiving what he was sure was a veiled compliment. "To be honest, however... There is not much of a point to get to. Ishikawa-senpai and Yoshida-senpai have done research today, but there is little conclusive data."
He stopped walking and faced her. "I wish that I could tell you more. Going will be dangerous. Are you certain you wish to come?"

'Think about this.' Kumiko weight options in her head. The fight that took place the night before had practically drain her of all the energy she had and there was the modeling audition tomorrow. If things went too long, 'I'll just sleep a little longer, that's all.'
She placed her hands on her hips, looking quite certain. "Dangerous or not, we're not going to figure any of this out if we stay holed up in our dorms afraid of the dark. Let's do it."

Eber nodded his approval and his smile brightened. "I agree. You are strong, and a valuable asset." He slipped his phone out of his pocket and flipped it open. "My name is Fridmund, Eber. Let me give you my mobile number, just in case, and I will meet you at the school gate in half an hour. Come prepared. I will be glad to help if I can."
The German exchanged numbers with the other student and paused before continuing, "Your power, this 'Persona'... It is quite radiant. It suits you." He smiled again, tilting his head. "See you later." And then he left.

She gave a coy smile to the young gentlemen. He knew just how to grab a lady's attention. "Gotcha. See you in an hour."
Kumiko entered the girl's dorm once more and was instantly surrounded by females full of questions. She bit her lower lip, practically squealing. When asked for further information, she simply responded with "Oh nothing."
When she got to her room to change, she suddenly wished she owned more pairs of pants. 'Ah, but I can't do much with these in tight pants.' the girl pat her legs. Dawning a skirt once more, she wore a pair of gray spandex hot pants beneath.

Eber stopped off in his room to change and fetch his equipment. He wasn't technically supposed to leave campus during the duration of his suspension... But who would really be keeping track, anyway?
He returned to the Kendo room a little early, reminding himself to pick up Kumiko at the gate on the way out.

"You're right, of course," Isoroku said cheerily. "You should come along with us, Yukimura-kun. We're meeting back here in about half an hour, so if you want to come, go ahead and get ready."
He turned and headed for the boy's dorm. "Come on, Kojiro, we'd better go get our things."
In his pocket, his right hand was balled into a fist, and was clenching as tightly as the muscles allowed. The nail of his middle finger cut into his palm, drawing blood.
