Case 84

[manofgnee]

[Whenever he gets a free moment, away from the classes and the bullies that have already set in after one day, Hanna likes to read. Sitting outside, leaning against the school wall, he's buried in a book that probably weighs more than he does, reading a book on runes, magic, and legends

Hanna.

[manofgnee]

Aaah!!

[Hanna jumps slightly, before relaxing. Oh.]

Oh, hey Kanone.

[cateyedhunter]

[Kanone chuckles.]

Is it me, or is this school pretty laid-back?

[manofgnee]

Heh...yeah, it's okay...pretty quiet when everybody is busy...

[cateyedhunter]

As long as they don't pay too much attention...

[manofgnee]

[He laughs nervously, knowing what Kanone is getting at.]

Heh...heh, yeah.

...You wanted me to hang up posters later, right...?

[cateyedhunter]

Ah, I love how well you remember things!

We do have posters to hang up, right? Oh, and tomorrow I want you to go around recruiting people who look good enough to be in the club, alright?

[manofgnee]

[Hanna pales a bit, biting his lip.]

Aww...do I have to do the recruiting? You know the kind of people who will want in...They'll use me as a punching bag if I even get close to them...

Can't I just hang up the posters?

[cateyedhunter]

Now, now, Hanna.

[Trying not to sound menacing~]

If I do recruiting, something might happen. And I can't afford to get kicked out again.

[manofgnee]

[Hanna gulps a bit, staring at the ground.]

...okay...

[cateyedhunter]

Wonderful! Don't be shy, now. I'm counting on you.

[manofgnee]

I know, I know...I'll do my best.

...did you have anybody specific in mind...?

[cateyedhunter]

Anyone who looks tough, but not loud about their strength. And they have to have good aim. It's a necessity.

[manofgnee]

Okay, gotcha...

...uh...where exactly should I look...?

[Hanna isn't exactly very good at this. Mostly because he spends most of his time avoiding these people.]

[cateyedhunter]

Anywhere. Other schools are fine, too.

[He sighs.]

Do you need me to go out and recruit?

[manofgnee]

No, I know you don't want to. I'll do it, promise...

[He nods. Oh well...better get used to being beaten up early in the year, right?]

I'll check the private school and the college too, if you want...did you have anybody specific in mind, that's sort of what I meant...
