<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/wJe2bI4.jpg?2)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Megumi Shika<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Abnormal Support Stand<br/><strong>With:</strong>Shizuma, Jonathan, Anyone<br/><strong>Time:</strong>First day of School;<span class="bbc_u"><em>Club Rush!</em></span><br/><hr/><br/><br/>The amount of support swirling around the blindfolded girl was unprecedented. People were actually interested in her Club idea! The thought filled Megumi's heart with warmth, and her stomach with butterflies. The club creation was going splendidly, so much so that she was beginning to fear the worst. Her luck the past few years had not been kind to her; she was worried that all of this work could slip through her fingers at any moment. What if she insulted someone helping? What if they just lost interest? Those worries nipped at her pride like gremlins in the darkest corners of her mind.<br/><br/>Megumi was glad to hear that Jonathan was doing his best to learn the language properly. That was enough to sate Megumi's tertiary worries. Ignorance and inexperience were two wildly different things. She had to admit, some of the mispronunciations were very...<em>inappropriate</em>, but he seemed to be doing his best where he could. At least, it sounded that way.<br/><br/>Megumi's face visibly relaxed when Jonathan offered to get a chair. Just by hearing Shizuma's response, Megumi was able to realize she hadn't done anything wrong, but that did little for her paranoia. It was hard to explain to people how hard it was to speak to someone without being able to see them. There were so many unknowns and facial cues that Megumi could never pick up on; it was easy to miss subtext, and even easier to assume the worst.<br/><br/>For example, Megumi<em>still</em>didn't know what Jonathan meant when said 'Fuck Me' in his foreign tongue. If she could see him, it would be obvious what he meant. Without such vision... things were less certain.  Megumi just had to hope for the best and assume Jonathan wasn't some violent molester. He wasn't, of course, but paranoia had no need for facts to function. In the same way, Megumi also completely missed the questioning Look Shizuma gave her. It wasn't exactly one she could return!<strong>"That would be wonderful,"</strong>she said to Jonathan,<strong>"Um. Thank you."</strong><br/><br/>As the foreign student went on his way, she listened to Shizuma's reassurance. It was enough to finally drag Megumi out of her rut. A bit nervously, Megumi chanced a small smile.<strong>"I- Thank you, Shizuma-san. I'll try my best."</strong>She made a polite bow, but seemed to be calming down.<strong>"I haven't been around so many people since, well,"</strong>Megumi touched her blindfold,<strong>"<em>this</em> happened. I'm still getting used to everything."</strong><br/><br/>Despite herself, Megumi ended up saying a third 'Thank-you' as Jonathan returned triumphantly with another chair. Her lips momentarily tightened when he made another lewd verbal mistake, but she seemed to forgive the infraction when Jonathan corrected it himself. In fact, she very nearly tried to make light of her inability to see any image, let along Jonathan's, but thought better of it.<strong>"I'm Megumi Shika."</strong>she managed, introducing herself in turn.<strong>"And it's fine! Um, nice to meet you!"</strong><br/>
