WHO: Oscar + 2012 Persona Users
WHERE: The Auditorium
WHEN: September 18th, right after classes.
WHY: The answer to all of their problems is hilarious and totally needed.
( It had been four days since he originally attempted to get the auditorium cleaned by means of student labor in detention. )

So she walked in somewhat hesitantly, clinging on to a book she had taken along from her last class. Somehow it felt a bit safer, more secure as long as she could hold on to it. She spotted some faces she didn't expect - her roommate and another (somewhat scary) guy from her class. Heather gave a slight nod to the group as a whole. "G-good day.."
There was a moment where she pondered walking over to Lynne - even though she hadn't known the other girl for long yet, they were roommates, after all - but she seemed to be talking to the guy. Heather hopefully peered over to Lillian, but she seemed a little bit off today. Was something wrong?
Either way she took a seat near the front, but making sure not to sit next to anyone at the same time. After that she just stared down at her shoes.

You don't have to bear everything alone, Nephele whispered in her mind. It's your burden but you don't have to shun others while you carry it.
For some reason, Nephele's voice sounded disturbingly like her own just then but Lillian put the observation out of her mind. She stood up, gathered her things, exited the row, and walked up to the front of the auditorium. Lillian turned down the row Heather was sitting in and when she got to her, she tapped her lightly on the shoulder.
"Hi, Heather. Do you mind if I sit with you?" she asked, managing a slight, but genuine smile.
See? Doesn't that feel a lot better? Nephele asked, sounding a little more like she usually did but hints of that uncanny similarity remained.

He nodded to the group in greeting a little curtly, though his serious expression softened as he passed the others on his way to the front row. Ezra took a seat close to Ama and smiled slightly at her, an inquisitive eyebrow raised, before directing his gaze curiously towards the two new faces. He thought he recognized them as seniors, but was drawing a blank on names. Had they gotten involved in the persona/demon business somehow? Lilly and Ama seemed like they knew what was going on.
Well, Mr. Ivors would be be explaining his grand scheme to them soon. Maybe they'd get caught up on what had happened then. Ezra leaned back in his seat and waited a bit impatiently for the meeting to get started.

When he was beckoned to the auditorium after classes, Anthony wasn't very interested in what the principal would have to say, considering the last few meetings had been ridiculous. And usually something that got him in trouble when it came to Mr. Oscar. Detentions were never entertaining. In all, Anthony appeared a little down in spirit as he ambled towards the second row, uninterested in his classmates as he sat and slouched to his side, and eventually, lied down completely with a sigh mixed between exasperation and satisfaction. Napping in class only did so much. Napping in the quiet auditorium could prove easier. He'd give it a few minutes, first; only if Ivor's drawl got too boring would he sleep.

Do you want to come to the fairy meeting too~? he wondered at the entity living somewhere in his head.
No, came the immediate response. Are you stupid? I'm not a fairy.
((ooc: apologies for pointless post. Just felt like writing something))

"Hey," she said first to Ama, moving near her roommate. She felt most comfortable around her, after all. The others... well, she wasn't intimidated by them, but she still had a sort of apathy for them. "This had better be good."

Once the majority of them were in the room he cleared his throat to get their attention. "That's most everyone. I suppose we can go ahead and get this over with," he began, hopping down from where he was sitting on the edge of the stage. "I hope you all remember why I called you here. I've realized that your recent activities could cause some trouble in terms of your normal school schedules. To excuse you without suspicion I've taken the liberty of enrolling you all in a single club that I will be advising. From yesterday onward this group is a performance choir."

As for what Mr. Ivores had said, Lynne could have said a lot of things. Instead, what came out was a blunt, disbelieving, "What?"

There were obvious flaws to that suggestion, the biggest being the question of whether anybody could actually sing or knew how to dance. It'd be hard to sell it as a convincing cover otherwise.
Aside from that, it did make sense. Choirs tended to travel a lot for performances, both during the day and in the evenings. It wasn't unusual for a choir to return late at night from a performance. From a practical, logistics standpoint it made sense. Choirs didn't necessarily have to be good to perform.
It would protect Mr. Ivors and protect them, too, from investigations into their truancy. Couldn't that lead to expulsion for all of them, eventually?
As much as the thought of singing and dancing in front of an audience twisted her stomach with anxiety, it was a good idea. Despite herself, she found herself agreeing with it.
"Okay," she said, projecting her voice a bit more than usual so everyone could hear her.

"You like watching us squirm, don't you? I am not singing and dancing for your amusement. Isn't there something... anything else we can do?" He didn't often put his foot down so quickly, but this was just ridiculous

"A-a choir..?" She understood the choice somewhat, but what if they would actually have to do something choir-y sometime? If there was anything Heater would feel frightened about aside from having to deal with scary monsters and Persona things it would be having to stand in front of a lot of people, especially on a stage.
Heather looked at Ezra when he spoke up, grateful for his complaint when she couldn't exactly force it herself.

"Whatever, cover is cover." And it was true. He still didn't trust the principal, but at least the guy was offering them something. He very well could have watched them run amok and get in trouble for his own twisted amusement. "But do we actually have to perform? And hell, can anybody here actually sing?"

... And Lindsey had a point, too. Just how many of them could carry a tune? Ama could, yes, and singing with a group wasn't bad, but suppose Oscar got it into his mind to do solos? The one thing she was actually horrified of doing--
Of all the ideas...
"We're not going to convince anyone if half of us can't sing," she pointed out unhappily. Not that she was going to say that she could. That'd probably just encourage him.

Lillian wondered if she was the only one aware of just how precarious their position was at this school but it'd taken her time to grasp the situation, too.

Well he thought it had to do with fairies but. Well. It kind of did. Singing? Really? He liked singing. He wasn't good at it but he didn't think he was absolutely terrible either. ... ... Except Carla did tell him that he was...flat.
Music was good. If he was listening to it. Well he supposed he also knew how to play one instrument but he didn't think it was all that relevant here.

"In terms of actually having to do anything, there was very little in the budget for starting a new club like this," he continued, hands loosely placed in his pockets. "Coaches are out of the question, but that also means that it is highly unlikely some board member will ask any of you to perform for them to justify the club's existence. So, as long as all of you keep up with your homework, we won't have an issue. Myself being the principal helps, of course."
