Prancing and skipping joyfully, as she did so, Kaminari made her way down the hallway, to her older brother, Meishu’s room. On her way to his place of residence, she was stopped by another girl in the hall. “Not again!” she cried as she looked down at the ground. “Again?” the older girl asked. “Yeah, again…” Kaminari replied, before lifting her head up, to see who the other female was. It was Frankie, the girl from the audience of the Lecture Hall. “Oh, it’s just you.” Kaminari said, feeling a bit of relief that it wasn’t Lucette. “Hmm.” Frankie said, “Who did you think I was?”. Kaminari felt a bit embarrassed - “I thought you were Lucy…!” she whispered into Frankie’s ear, whilst looking back and forth, making sure that Lucette wasn’t nearby. After the message was given, Frankie began to chuckle and laugh. “Me? no way!” she shouted. Kaminari began to giggle too, before she then stopped. “Any road, why’d ya’ stop me?” she asked Frankie. Frankie smiled and blushed - she was nervous. “Well, Kami, I have no food…” she started “So, could we go out to eat?” ( Please note: That was not implicative of any Sexual or Lustful relationship, despite wording ). Kaminari first gasped, and then smiled. “Yeah, let’s get ready!” she happily declared. Frankie lifted her arms in the air, “Really!?” she asked. “Mhm.” Kaminari answered. So, the two both began to run down the hallway, to Kaminari’s room - to get ready.
Back at Meishu’s dorm, Meishu got up, and pushed Lucette’s legs off of himself. “You hear that?” he asked Lucette. “Yeah, I’m not deaf.” she responds. Meishu smiles, “Then, what was it?” he asked. Lucette was at a loss for words, all the while, Brittanica began to polish Lucette’s toes. “So, you didn’t hear it, then?” Meishu asked, still grinning. “Fine, I didn’t. Now, what was it - foreign boy?” Lucette pondered. Quickly, Meishu’s smile turned upside down, and into a frown. “Kaminari is getting food, and we’re not…” he mumbled. Lucette’s stomach growled, and so did Meishu’s. But, Brittanica’s didn’t, and nor did another girl. The other girl in the room was Cassette. Cassette had long mid-tone brown hair, with two side bangs on the left and right respectively - and orange eyes that turned amber-yellow, at the bottom. She wore a white dress, that’s sleeves separated at the shoulder, before continuing at an amount, slightly past. Atop her collared dress, Cassette wore a brown vest, wth a connected brown skirt. She also had a red bow on her chest, with a coin in its centre. From what Meishu could remember, Cassette’s parents were ship voyagers, and the coin was a symbol of status, from a far off island that they had visited. But, Meishu had heard this from gossip, and was never able to communicate with Cassette about it - because she was so anti-social. Though, now, Cassette did talk. “I have food.” she said. The sentence was very simple, but grabbed Meishu’s attention. “Oh, do you?” he asked. “Can you please show some to us?” he then added.
Meishu was cautious with his words, and phrased and spoke his sentences as if he was speaking to a child, as, most likely, that was the level of social skills that Cassette must have had.
“Ok!” Cassette answered in a quiet, but happy voice.
Meishu smiled, and got closer to Cassette.
He turned her over, and made her face him. He then touched at the button on her little chest-bow. “Cassie, what is this?” he asked. Cassette smiled, and closed her eyes. “Coin!” she answered. “Where from?” Meishu then asked.
Cassette looked lost and confused. “What place?” Meishu simplified. But, Cassette still didn’t get it. “What person got it to you?” he then asked. Cassette though for a second. “Papa.” she replied. Meishu wanted to ask more questions, but he figured that they would pass above Cassette’s comprehension level. Besides, Lucette was already devastated. Perhaps, because Meishu was talking to other non-related girls, besides her. Either way, she shouted “Cassie!? Did you just call her Cassie!?”. Meishu shook, and so did Lucette - but of course, in a mad way. Like usual, Brittanica had to hold Lucette down, and stop her from getting rowdy. “Ma’am, you’ll ruin your polish!” she informed. Lucette made a “Hmp!” sound, and then laid back again. “You really just go out for girls, don’t you?” she asked in jealousy. Meishu denied, “No…” he told Lucette. “Especially not you~” he added, just to anger her. And, it worked - Lucette lunged forwards, and smacked Meishu on the back of his head. Somehow, Meishu dodged, and Lucette fell forwards. “Well, there goes your polish, ma’am…” Brittanica spit out in disappointment. Lucette stood up, and pushed Meishu with her foot. “You do like me!” she shouted. Meishu stood too. “No, you want me to like you!” he shouted back. Lucette shouted, and began a verbal fight.

As Meishu and Lucette yapped, and Cassette sat on the floor holding a box of coins, with a confused expression on her face - the door to the room opened up. While Meishu and Lucette didn’t notice another person entering the room, Cassette and Brittanica did. The person was Charlotte. Charlotte was another female student, and she had short light brown hair that pointed at the sides, with a ponytail in the back. Charlotte wore a black, closed, over jacket, and had a grey skirt that reached right above her knees. Below all, she wore long black stockings that reach right under her knee, and had large black boots.
Charlotte looked back and forth at everyone in the room. “They’re like this all the time.” Brittanica warned Charlotte. Charlotte, who was known for having a fear of everything, gave a slight thumbs up. Behind Charlotte was Ciel. “I-I-I came with Ciel, to s-stop her from being worried…!” Charlotte quoted. “Other way around,” Ciel began “But anyway, Frankie told us to tell you guys to get dressed.”.
Brittanica nodded, and then used her hand as a divider between Meishu and Lucette. “Sir, madame, get dressed please.” she said. Lucette and Meishu both paused, before Lucette spoke - “Yeah. But this time, I’m not changing in the closet - Meishu can get out of the room entirely!”. “Huh!?” Meishu gasped - “Like, I wanted to see your body anyway!”. Lucette growled. “Your little friend can get out too!” she shouted. Meishu stomped, and said “Cassette has nothing to do w-” “Enough!” Ciel screamed. “Frankie wants to go out with you two, get prepared!”.
Lucette and Meishu came to a halt. “Go out…?” they asked in unison. “To eat!” everyone else except for Cassette, shouted back. “Oh, oh, ok…!” Meishu and Lucette began to almost chant, as they felt embarrassed and overwhelmed. “That means, put some clothes on!” Ciel ordered before running off with Charlotte.
Brittanica smiled, and closed the door behind them. Before she knew it, Lucette was in the closet changing with Cassette, and Meishu was switching shirts.
Not long after, everyone had finished switching clothes. Lucette had an all white dress on, with a sailor’s type white hat, and had a black bow, near the upward collar of her dress. Lucette also had her hair all down and out. Meanwhile, Cassette’s was in a bun ponytail, and she wore a short sleeve green dress, with yellow silk designs, and had a green hairband. Together, the duo of girls looked great alongside Brittanica, who kept her same outfit. Just a while later, after Meishu showed off his opened black jacket atop a red shirt, which was too atop a collared white shirt, a knock came to the door. The group looked at each other, before Lucette finally offered to open the door. Feeling like a gentleman, with his new glasses on, Meishu pushed up his spectacles, and offered to open the door instead. “Go ahead.” Lucette stated, before Meishu walked up to the door. Smiling, he put his hand on the knob, before twisting it, and opening up the door. There stood Kaminari. “Kami?” asked Lucette “I thought that Frankie wanted to go out.”. Kaminari, with her little business tuxedo on, smiled. “I think there has been some confusion. I invited Frankie, she’ll be coming with.”. Meishu smiled, and patted Kaminari on the head, before looking at Frankie.
Frankie had her little wool bucket hat off, revealing the completeness of her young hair. Frankie wore a bright beige-ish white-ish comfy dress, with long sleeves, and a small white under frill at the end. She also had a white bow on her collar chest.
Meishu looked at everyone in the group, including Cassette, who was still holding her coins. “Shall we go?” he said, before escorting every girl out the room.
