Mrs. Sakaki, I'd like to request your help with something, to hopefully make sure something doesn't blow up into a larger mess.

Sure! It's no problem.
What do you need help with?

[danse_etoile]

It seems at least two students have gone missing. And it might involve something at the school.

[sakaki_family_values]

Gone missing?
If that's the case, then we need to act fast on this.

[danse_etoile]

Yeah. They stated they were going to be late getting home for something related to their clubs, but never came home. Parents are hoping they just lost track of time but...

[sakaki_family_values]

Alright. Then we need to go looking for them and hope that's all it is.
I'll meet you in five minutes.

[danse_etoile]

Alright. I'll be grabbing a Duel Disk, Deck and a Flashlight. Start at the Paranormal Club and the Occult Research Club, the clubs the two kids are from.

[sakaki_family_values]

Okay. I'll grab some stuff quickly too and I'll meet you at the Paranormal Club.

::Asuka is waitin for you with said Duel Disk, Deck loaded, and a flashlight. She also clearly has a smartphone sticking out of a pocket.::

[sakaki_family_values]

*Yoko soon arrives, carrying her own Duel Disk and a flashlight. She also seems to have a backpack on her back, where you can see what looks like to be a baseball bat poking out from it and a pouch around her waist.*

I came as quick as I could.
So, these kids were staying late at their clubs and they never came home?

[danse_etoile]

Supposedly, yes. ... Does that have nails or not?

[sakaki_family_values]

Oh, this?

*She pulls the baseball bat from the bag. It's just a regular baseball bat.*

I swiped it from where we keep the sports supplies, though I guess I could add nails to it... it WOULD up the scare factor.

*She considers that for a moment, before placing it back in the backpack.*

I also brought these.

*She opens the small pouch on her waist and brings out some small spherical looking items.*

My son, Yuya, always has a ton of these small joke smoke bombs, so I figured they might come in handy, in case we need to get away fast and need cover.

[danse_etoile]

::Looks at them.::

... Yes, assuming we run into. Something. Hopefully all we have is a pair of scared or lost kids crying their eyes out.

All I have is my Duel Disk, flashlight as a club and some kickboxing experience.

[sakaki_family_values]

I think between us we're as prepared as we can be.

But yes.

Hopefully we won't need any of it.

[danse_etoile]

Let's hope.

Anyways. Do you want to go in first or shall I to see if we can find any notes.

[sakaki_family_values]

I'll head in first.

*She positions herself, with a hand on the door handle and the other hand holding her flashlight. Carefully and slowly, she opens the door and steps inside, shining the flashlight around the room.*

[danse_etoile]

::It's exactly the kind of club room you'd expect from tween kids that are very interested in UFOs, Big Foot, and Nessie that has a laser cannon.::

[sakaki_family_values]

They've got quite the set-up in here.

*She moves further into the room, shining the flashlight around to look for a good place to start looking, like desks or tables that could have notes or paperwork on them.*

We should see if they left any kind of paper trail into what they were doing, or where they could've gone.

[danse_etoile]

Right...

::Flicking through papers... UFOs... Atlantis is made of Crystals. Elvis was actually a shaved Sasquatch... Hypnotic Crystals... The Empress is actually from Zeta Reticulant...

Hrm...

She flicks one and pulls it out and looks at it.::

I might have something.

[sakaki_family_values]

*Yoko walks over to Asuka, curiously.*

What have you found?

[danse_etoile]

Scrawled notes listing seven possible mysteries of the school.

[sakaki_family_values]

Hmm... mysteries of the school, you say.

*She looks over the notes to see if there is any indication if there was a specific one they were looking into.*

[danse_etoile]

::It's the usual suspects.

Hanako of the Toilet.

The Stairs with the Strange Number of Steps.

The Missing Music Room with the Beethoven Portrait.

The Eerie Anatomical Model.

The Hallway That Isn't There.

Etc.

There's lines connecting the Music Room and Anatomical Model.::

[sakaki_family_values]

*She gestures towards the notes on the music room and the model.*

It seems they were looking into that mysterious extra room we found a while back and it's spooky inhabitant.

[danse_etoile]

... The anatomical model with the Beethoven bust for a head?

[sakaki_family_values]

*She nods and points to the lines connecting the music room and anatomical model.*

It seems to match up with the two things connected here.
I wonder if they went looking for this at all.
