It was finally making sense! Of course it was finally proving itself to be true. As the boy continued to stare at the evidence spread out before his eyes he found the entire sight being linked up so perfectly and it was almost as if the gods had bestowed him the blessing of sight for just a moment. Of course it was the same being responsible for everything that had been done. To think it had taken all this time for Ian to realize that his missing lunches for the past few days must all link to the same culprit. What he had found the most odd, was the fact that there was always something else left in it's place. All the trinkets the brunette owned were spread across the table, some his own, whilst the others had been replacing his lunch. To think the youth had gone as far as to neglect his club for the last two days, trying his best to capture culprit on his own. But, enough was enough! If this wasn't a case suited for the ES club, then what was?<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Ruffling his hair briefly, before running his fingers and ruffling through his imaginary beard, the green eyed gaze continued to stare deeply at the objects, trying to remember which order he had received his 'trades', only to find himself getting rudely interrupted by a growl. Blinking his eyes a few times, the boy reached for one of the lollies of the table, before continuing his heavy and important thinking. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;But of course, the boy had found his own personal mission a lot more important then the final class of the day, and actually had holed himself up in the club room ever since lunch once it had been stolen for the fifth time in a row. This time though, Ian was certain that it was a supernatural being that was the culprit for his missing lunch. Well, he had been pretty sure of it at the start, but he knew he needed to bring the rest of the club members solid evidence. And it was all there! Spread across the table, and now all the brunette could do was to wait. After all, there was only about an hour left till the bell would ring. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Bouncing in his chair almost almost like an excited child on Christmas, Ian waited for the rest of his friends to make their way. This was, after all, the first official quest of the club! Well, there was the case of the missing shoes... But that didn't count! It was not like it was too uncommon to accidentally put your shoes away in the wrong locker. Well, at least not for a scatter-brain like Ian. There was also the time of the shadow on the roof...<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Violently shaking his head, the green eyed youth dismissed the previous cases from his mind the best he could. There was at least one thing for certain! His best friend would of course believe him! Valsche had to! They were best friends after all. Nodding firmly a few times, the fingers found their way back at rubbing at the chin, till the boy decided to sit himself down. Perhaps Ian had been lucky that he had not been born with dog ears and tail his body language perhaps already naturally giving away a little too much of the thought process. But, just as easily he found himself getting excited to share his new findings, he found himself growing impatient with the wait. Leaning himself a bit back, before fidgeting himself forward once more, the minutes passed like hours. Till finally, the boy leaned himself across the club table.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "UGghhhhh, when are they comin'?" The boy mumbled half grunting, as the green eyes soon found themselves fluttering, and before he knew it, his mind drifted off to sleep. In the few minutes the brunette slept, he found himself dreaming of the most brilliant way to set up the most perfect trap for the lunch thief. "My sandwiches...!" Ian mumbled, as the drool trickled down his cheek and to the table, though, as Ian was about to heroically sacrifice himself for the biggest sandwich he had ever seen, he found his eyes widening in shock, as the loud ringing of the school bell violently woke him. Jumping in his seat, and pushing himself off the table, Ian found himself sending himself backwards onto the supply closet, sending a few of the evidence on the table to scatter in all direction on the floor. But of course, the still half dazed Ian just shook his head, trying to get back into reality, as he rubbed the back his head, hissing softly between his teeth.

Normally it was the sound of freedom. Of going home and diving onto comforters decorated with the images of animal skulls and racing through homework so she could immerse herself in frightening tales and videos. But because she couldn't keep her mouth shut, she was instead headed to the Extraordinary Search Club. If only she could have kept herself from telling her mom about the flyers she wouldn't have to....But keeping quiet had never been a strong suit for her. The only reason she wasn't asking the girl two seats to her left how her new ferret was doing was because she was instead quietly sulking and putting her things away as slowly as she could. There was no avoiding the inevitable though, and soon she was stepping into the room. It seemed that other than Ian, she was the first to arrive. <br><br>So far their searches had been less than extraordinary. The most notable being that of the misplaced shoes. Not only had been such a mundane thing, but there had been a mundane explanation. Although, it had been fun feeding Ian's crazy by giving all kinds of suggestions as to what might have done it. Granted they were all different fairy folk from places in the world, but it hadn't mattered. The shoes were just in the wrong locker, and when the "case" was "solved" things returned to being boring. Since then the club had been a place to take an afternoon nap or read, and she expected it to be no different. That is until she saw the items on the desk. Sighing she dropped her messenger bag by the door. "What is it this time?" she asked, "Are things 'magically' appearing?" 'Magically' was accompanied by sarcastic finger wiggles as she perched herself on a desk. "Or do you think all that stuff is possessed or something?" If he believed it a simple case of possession, she had several interesting references on how to cleanse them that would solve this new case in a jiffy and give her back her nap time/reading time.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l530/WyldeSK/greenhairtwo_zps07a186b7.jpg)</div>Name: Chiharu Nishihara<br>Time: After School<br>Location: ES Club<br>Tagging: Ian, Adelaide, Open<br>Notes: The Indignities of Office<br><hr><br>The things one had to do as Class Representative. It was somewhere between irritating and ridiculous that Chiharu, had to come here to Ian Kenton's latest brainchild/insane whim. But <em>someone</em> had to be the responsible adult or nearest facsimile, and that someone - as always - just happened to have to be her. Walking through the door with a certain grace and sense of purpose masking whatever else she might have been feeling, she strode to the nearest chair at the table and took a seat, neatly folding her hands on the brown skirt in front of her. She wordlessly examined the collection of the objects on the table and tried to hypothesize what they might be doing there. Although trying to attribute logical motivations to anything Ian may have done was, in her very exasperated experience, an exercise in frustration.<br><br>Turning to the girl next to her, she noted, "I suppose you're here for the club as well? I am Chiharu Nishihara. It is a pleasure to meet you." Which was more a formality than anything else, since Chiharu Nishihara, Class 3-D Representative par excellence, was as well known in her way as Ian was in his. And much like him, opinion of her was decidedly mixed. But Chiharu didn't do what she did to be liked; she did what she did to maintain order, both in her own life, and in the school around her. And that was a never ending battle.<br><br>Case in point - the club president falling backwards into his own supply closet. With a sigh Chiharu rose and made her way to the closet door. "You know, Ian," she commented drily as she pulled him out, "there's a certain decorum you need to observe if you are going to serve in any sort of leadership position. If you insist on following through with this... <em>organization</em>... you should at least try and lead it competently." She glanced askance as she pulled, not quite meeting his eye, once again asking herself exactly why she was the one who had to come here in the first place. It wasn't as if there weren't enough other clubs that could use her guidance. It was just that this one... well it would probably need more help than most.

He had tried to focus on learning math at first. He was sure that the equations there would help him open up dimensional breeches that would let him cross through to parallel worlds where he could take his proper place. However, after staring uncomprehendingly at the board for his first few math classes until smoke began to come out of his ears as his brain overheated but after that he gave up and decided he would try to find another way to crack the walls between dimensions. surely there were easier of crossing over.<br><br>At the sound of the bell he immediately hopped up out of his chair and rushed out of the room, happy to put as much distance between him and the dreaded brain melter math as fast as he could. Still with the day being over that meant one thing club activities! It was time to resume the search for the supernatural creatures and beings from parallel dimensions. It was good that he’d found a group of people who understood the importance of his mission even if they didn’t act like it most of the time. Well Ian supported him, the others less so but he was sure that they all believed him about what he was. Eventually he arrived outside of the clubroom and it was time to make his entrance.<br><br>Making his way to the club he threw open the door with a large slam. Raising his hand to his face he spread his fingers and looked at them through his eye from behind his spread fingers. “Greeting my comrades! The search for the creatures of the dark begins again!” He declared loudly as he made his way over to sit at the table. “What manner of being has made their appearance this time Ian?” He asked. “My instincts tell me to hunt!”<br>

No.. Errr, maybe?<br><hr><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The boy found himself raising himself up as quickly as he could, brushing off the dust from his pants, till his green eyes landed on the raven haired girl, just staring for a brief moment till she asked her questions. Wow! He was so proud of his club member for reading into the situation so easily. A wide, perhaps too wide, toothy grin formed on the brunettes facial features, before the head started bobbing up and down like crazy.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;"Yes!" Ian excitedly exclaimed, looking at the table, tilting his head briefly as he began noticing a few things missing of the table. "No... I mean.. Yes, and no, so both." The youth continued as he found himself making his way under the table, before looking up at the two girls, more so at Chiharu that began scolding him like the times she had before. Lifting his hand, Ian found himself placing his finger across her lips to silence her, perhaps not as gently as he had hoped he would. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;"Shhh! You two must listen!" He explained, as he cleaned his finger on his shirt, before returning to his search under the table. "You see, things have been disappearing and appearing! You see, it always happens at the same time, yet I-" Ian found himself stopping as the doors swung open and in entered Blair, the hero of worlds. Almost instinctively, the brunette found himself raising himself up, the body seeming to have forgotten the head was still under the table. With a loud thump as his head collided under the table, and the sound of small trinkets bouncing off and to the floor, Ian once again found himself with his hands on his head.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;"Innnghhhhh!" The boy hummed somewhat between his teeth before stepping away from the table, taking a deep breath, the green eyes found themselves staring straight into the one that wasn't under the cover of an eye-patch. "You are right Blair! There is something... I just don't know what." Ian hummed as he rubbed his head a final time. "You see, something has been stealing my lunch, and leaving me something instead. Almost like a trade, but I don't want to trade my lunch..." The brunette declared, as he sat himself down once more.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;"It all started when I came to school and noticed my lunch was missing, and instead all I was left with was a shoelace..."

Her sketch, of two baseball-loving girls discovering their love of each other and baseball bats, was carefully tucked away and she drifted off towards her club thingy. <br>She didn't get too far before she spotted a small calico cat, barely more than a kitten, stalking its was into the school grounds. <br><br>With a happy little smile she had abandoned the club immediately in favour of going out and introducing herself to the new kitten. While it would have probably fled from most girls, soon the kitten was curled up happily in Joanna's arms as she gave her a little tour of the school.<br><br>"And this is the club room," she said softly as she arrived, and the kitten in her arms looked curiously between the other humans (and Blair) present. "You two should eat together, then," she decided as she caught the end of Ian's most recent problem, and nodded towards him and Blair. "Maybe feed each other, just to be sure." And, more to the point, because of the nice mental images that thought brought up, of Blair tilting Ian's head back as he stood over the other boy and gently slid food between his lips, gently brushing loose crumbs ooff of those soft lips with a gentle, loving finger, the two sharing a stick of pocky until their lips met, red flushes of shy pleasure spreading over their faces ...<br><br>Of course, from the outside, the only thing the others could see was the way Joanna's gaze lingered on the two boys and went a bit glazed.

				<div class="floatleft">(https://s20.postimg.org/jpam6d9sd/Valsche.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Valsche<br><strong>Time:</strong> After School<br><strong>Location:</strong> ES Club Room<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Ian, Chiharu, Open<br><strong>Notes:</strong> <br><hr><br>A loud unsuppressed yawn escaped the silver haired youth’s lips as he casually strolled onto the school grounds. Despite the fact that the ringing bell indicated the conclusion rather than the commencement of the school day meant nothing to Valsche who’d not-so-mysteriously disappeared right after the first class of the day had ended. By this point in time though, Valsche’s truancy was all but ignored by the school populace; his fellow students had long since distanced themselves from him, and even the overwhelming majority of the school’s faculty had given up on trying to convince him that education was important. In fact most seemed somewhat relieved to see the potential brawl-starter voluntarily departing the school grounds each day. As far as Valsche was concerned, he deserved to be praised for turning up at all. But of course, he was practically alone in thinking so, and the few oddballs that did greet him were usually more of a dense nuisance than any actual friend of his. <br><br>Trekking his way across the school grounds, and towards the schools entrance. It was with a needlessly rough shove that Valsche shoved his way past the glass doors that marked the official entrance of the learning facility, the steel hinges screeching in protest as if they were expressing their contempt and unwelcoming him to a place he clearly didn’t belong. Hence it was ironically humours when Valsche stumbled a flood of first years students that had just been dismissed from class; each and every one of them immediately took notice of Valsche’s presence and averted making eye contact… and yet they found themselves paradoxically stepping aside and clearing his path as if they were servants within a manor, steering clear of some high profile guest. <br><br>Ignoring the hushed murmurings of the group, and the contemptuous stares he felt sticking to the back of his head, Valsche uncaring made his way to the staffroom, briefly making eye contact with one of the coffee-sipping woollen jumpers that were lazily lounging about. While Valsche didn’t hold a shred of respect for the school’s faculty, the cops had been called on his ass the last time he’d failed to turn up for school, as per the agreement he’d made with the local authorities. The school was essentially a lockdown detainment facility to keep Valsche away from the general populace, in hopes that children and weary workers returning home wouldn’t have to put up with a silver haired youth picking a fight with them.&nbsp; <br><br>With his check-in completed, Valsche made his way to towards Ian’s little hellhole of a club room. The small crowded room filled with eccentric personalities wasn’t exactly Valsche’s first choice of having a good time, but he figured he’d decided upon himself that he’d at least show his face once every few days to maintain the illusion to the teachers that he was partaking in some sort of curricular nonsense.<br><br>Approaching the club room though, Valsche felt his body abruptly become heavier, his legs barely managing to refrain from dragging themselves forward as the all too familiar voice of Chiharu could be heard even from the hallway. The sight of the crazy cat-whisperer didn’t assist with his motivation either, and for a good few moments Valsche considered turning around and going elsewhere… but the thought of accommodating for others was too repelling, and after huffing his discontent he rudely shoved his way past Joanna, and strode his way across the room. Dully noting Ian and Blair’s presence with a glance before making his way to the far corner of the room, and throwing settling himself down on a cushiony beanbag someone (presumably Ian) had furnished the place with. Disinterestedly he cast a second glance Ian’s way, figuring that the youth had some stupid story to share as he usually did. It was either that or listening to Chiharu rant, and personal preference was inclined to have Ian come over and start up before Miss Rule Book became empowered by her bothersome righteousness.<br>

First Chiharu, who began scolding Ian like she always did, then Blair who desperately needed a new wardrobe (Adelaide had tried, but she never could get him to take the clothes she shoved at him), followed promptly by Joanna and Valsche. Everyone was here, and Ian had explained what it was about this time. <br><br>Joanna's suggestion made her shake her head. "No, it wouldn't change anything. Just put it in a silver box. If silver doesn't work, try iron or a box with an iron horseshoe on it. If those don't work, sprinkle a salt circle around your lunch everyday and I'm sure whatever evil creature is robbing you of your lunch won't be able to touch it. Problem solved." <br><br>Of course, Adelaide doubted a solution was going to be good enough. Knowing Ian he would still want to go searching and found what it was that kept taking his lunch. But a girl could hope. Looking over at Blair she tapped her chin thoughtfully. "Hey, Blair? You do realize that if you were a dragon you'd have a better fashion sense? I mean dragons like nice things, so they'd be wearing expensive suits all the time. Not....That." She made a hand motion to indicate everything he was wearing. "And you want to be more like a dragon right?" This too was a long shot. But it would be so much better for the poor nut job if he at least <em>dressed</em> normally because then he wouldn't be wearing his crazy on the outside.

Shaking his head, and making a mental note he'd need to 'attack' Joanna later to get the cat, Ian found himself planting his hands firmly onto Blair's shoulders, trying to keep himself focused on the important work he was needed to do and the raven haired boy was perhaps the only one he knew would really believe the importance of what he had to say. Leaning in a bit closer, parting his lips, Ian moved without knowing just how much he was actually managing to feed into the blonds imagination. Though, the moment did not last for very long, and in came the other person the brunette youth had been waiting for. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Ian watched as Valsche&nbsp; made his way further into the club room in long dragging strides, till he settled himself into the bean chair and the blue eyes looked at him. The green hue's found themselves staring into the frozen sea of icy blue, and the boy could have sworn, that as their eyes met that the two had shared a moment that only true best friends could share. An underlined understanding of his predicament , and just how important it was that the club would catch the thief and once again, Ian found himself swelling up with the same excitement he had, while he was waiting for posse. The fingers slowly loosened the already loose grip on the raven haired youth, before finally accepting invitation bestowed upon him by his best friend; Valsche. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Diving himself into the little space left on the beanbag, Ian clung perhaps uncomfortably close to the tall silver haired youth, as the green eyes stared pleadingly into the blue. "They have been stealing my lunch! AHumpfff!" The shorter youth exclaimed, as his slender digits found themselves grabbing onto the collar of his shirt. "You have to help me!" Ian almost begged, and could have perhaps even sounded like his voice cracked there in the end, if it weren't for the fact that the moment was rudely interrupted by a growl, and Ian found himself biting down his lower lip and closing his eyes, as his cheeks flushed with a rosy shade of pink.&nbsp;

It really was rather forward, and she would have come forth with some sort of admonition were she not presented with the problem at hand. "So... someone is stealing your lunch?" She chose to leave out the part about magical elves or whatever other strange phenomena Ian may have tried to burden her with. "That cannot be tolerated. We need to find the person responsible and rectify the situation."<br><br>Of course, the question now was how exactly to do that. The ES Club roster hardly inspired confidence. As far as she could tell, besides Ian and herself, they counted one unrepentant ruffian (Valsche), one nascent cat-lady already getting that look she got when she was thinking about who knows what (Joanna), one goth with boundary issues (Adelaide), and one outright delusional maniac (Blair). But that didn't mean she could just walk away without trying. So try she did.<br><br>"What if..." she asked, tapping her pencil on the chair, "we attempted to set a trap? Some way that we could track the miscreant as he or she makes off with Ian's next lunch? I'm sure that given enough thought, we could figure out a way to do that."

It must be some plan to weaken their forces or cut off their supplies. “Those devils. We cannot allow this kind of trespass to stand! We will find this lunch stealing demon and make sure he or she stops stealing your lunch.” He said with a nod. As Joana made her suggestion about how to prevent things he paused for a moment to seriously think about her suggestion. It’s true having two people there to watch the lunch would be safer and they wouldn’t have to worry about someone stealing it that way. “You may be on to something but, it would only work temporarily. We should stop this villainous act at the source!” He finished. <br><br>Blair was soon distracted however as Adelaide suddenly tried to get him to change clothes again and he watched Ian and Valsche out of the corner of his eye. He quickly shook his head in response. “Never! This clothing is special. It leaves me free to move and allows me to store enchantments on it for when they are needed. Plus they are comfortable.” he insisted as he looked down at himself. The black socks going up his legs, the shorts that left plenty of his thighs visible. The shirt and the jacket which waved behind him when the wind hit just right. He couldn’t give that last part up. “And I need my eye patch to suppress the power of the dragon and the vampire bite. I cannot remove it for extended periods of time without grave consequences. Who knows what may happen if I lose control of that dark power.”<br><br>Distracted again by Chiharu’s idea a moment later he nodded his head. “Yes and we can use one of Joanna’s highly trained cat agents to find our prey and lure whatever is doing this into a trap. Mmm but how do we trigger the trap? Do we ambush him. perhaps we should make whatever food Ian brings burn with the heat of a thousand suns so that he will never desire to steal Ian’s lunch again.” He suggested of course they could also load Ian’s lunch up with the devil food but that would be going too far and Blair wanted to stay as far away from that disgusting force as he could.<br>

				<div class="floatleft">(https://s20.postimg.org/jpam6d9sd/Valsche.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Valsche<br><strong>Time:</strong> After School<br><strong>Location:</strong> ES Club Room<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Ian, Chiharu, Open<br><strong>Notes:</strong> <br><hr>Comfortably settling himself in the bean-chair, Valsche took a few brief seconds to observe the room in all its glorious chaos. While the tartly dressed Adelaide picking a fight with Blair’s fashion sense, to Ian seemingly posed to rattle Blair up for lunch money, Joanna and Chiharu’s added presence could only lead to trouble… and while Valsche hated being caught up in the hassle of others, it was difficult to deny his natural human instinct to enjoy the conflict between others…. Okay, the likelihood there wasn’t much chance of the erratic Ian bullying Blair, especially with Chiharu’s hawklike eyes lolling around in the immediate vicinity, but a delinquent could dream right? The thought of Ian and Blair facing off was kind of appealing in the same sense catfights appealed to some guys, and considering how both boys were slender figured and lean in muscle, the sight played out more like two puppies frolicking with one another. <br><br>Speaking of puppies, Valsche’s own muscles tensed uncomfortably when Ian’s puppy-like eyes rounded on him; the boy’s bright green gaze starting with unwelcomingly overwhelming positivity. While Valsche was more than accustomed to people apprehensively gazing his way, the affectionate friendliness Ian expressed was something sorely missing from Valsche’s life… and while the gaze did momentarily make Valsche’s heart skip a beat, it was more due to being startled by the almost-adoring look, rather than any actual emotional movement on his behalf. In fact, Ian’s friendly look was reciprocated by an belligerent look of hostility; as Valsche’s lips firmed into a curt scowl, and one of his eyebrows lowered themselves into an aggravated furrow. With the final added touch of tilting his head back in condescending arrogance, it made sense that most others would back away, or avert their gaze… but Ian. Well the ES club wouldn’t even have existed if Ian were able to read the expression of others well.<br><br>When Ian launched himself through the air, and intentionally tackled his way to Valsche’s side, it took every existing fibre of Valsche’s physical restraint to not hurl a first in Ian’s face. While Valsche held no issue with approaching others, he wasn’t particularly fond of being approached by others, namely since people tended to reciprocate his existence by approaching only when they had something troublesome to address. Ian however had proven himself more a nuisance than a threat though, and while Valsche was well aware that some people within town would like to see him harmed or erased from existence entirely, it was more likely than any injury he’d acquire through Ian to be accidental than anything intentional aggression.<br><br>A long exasperated sigh left Valsche, as his tensed figure began to visibly relax itself. His body unintentionally shuffling aside in the slightest to accommodate the new addition who was practically sitting on Valsche’s lap. As tempting as it was to shove Ian off and storm off, Valsche gruffly huffed and waited for the caramel haired youth to explain himself. A flash of fury flickered in Valsche’s eyes when Ian demanded his assistance, his initial gut instinct from being told he had to do something, mixing with the suspicion directed to all those within the room. There wasn’t any reason to suspect that Blair, Joanna, Adelaide, or Chiharu were responsible, but then again there was no reason not to suspect them either… and as far as Valsche was concerned everyone besides himself was an enemy in his eyes. Even Rulebook Chiharu seemed like a potential candidate; as the ones to offer the most help were often the culprit pulling the strings behind the scene.<br><br>“And why would I care that someone’s stealing your lunch” Valsche growled trying to seem uncaring, but discernibly more irritated now than before. While he was certain he didn’t care for Ian’s rumbling stomach, the fact that the issue had been presented for him to deal with didn’t sit well with him in the slightest. <br>“What do you want me to do about in anyway? If it bothers you go cry to the teachers or Miss Rulebook there, they’d clearly enjoy the opportunity to bitch and rant to the entire school for something like this.” <br><br>“Unless of course, there’s already a few people you’d like me to deal with?” Valsche added sharply, slithering his own hand inbetween their touching bodies, and wrapping his larger hands around the clumped fists tightened around the scruff of his shirt; so that they could be untangled and pulled away. For a split second it looked as if some protective spirit had come over Valsche, but it was equally likely that Valsche had come to the conclusion that beating up a few people was easier than trying to help Ian work through the problem at hand. Worst case scenario there’d be a few undeserved bruises and emptied stomach’s around… but at least it’d give Valsche an opportunity to move away from Anti-LunchThief HQ.&nbsp; <br>

She would have to come up with something better if she was going to get him in something else. The discussion of a trap caught her attention though, and she lit up with a smile. "It's easy! Whoever is taking his food is eating right? Solo either we load it up with laxatives and see who has an accident, <em>or</em> we use ipecac and make them puke! Either way we'll hear about it and know who it is. Right? And then if Valsche wants to rack up an assault charge in Ian's defense, at least he'll punch the right guy." <br><br>Yes her solution meant technically poisoning someone. But as long as they didn't use <em>too</em> much the victim/criminal should be just fine. A quick search online would be enough to tell them how much would be too much and stop them from killing anyone.<br><br>Although...Accidentally killing someone would mean they might actually have something interesting to do....Adelaide quickly banished the thought before she could go into too many details about how they might get away with it. "What do you all say? Shall we go with diarrhea or vomit?" <br><br>She expected resistance from Chiharu and was already on her phone looking up safe dosages to reassure her that it was totally safe, and was more than ready to take a dentention or two so she wouldn't have to risk unwinding just this once. Considering it was her idea, she felt it was fair she take responsibility for it. Especially since she was already prepared to help buy the stuff and listen in a little more closely to passing conversations tomorrow.

With both Blair and Valsche willing, and what Ian was considering were clear signs of willingness from Adelaide as well, he had the majority of the club members vote, which could only mean one thing; the ES&nbsp; clubs fifth mission was about to begin! This time though, the brunette was sure that it would not just lead to a misunderstanding, this time he was sure this was an actual case that would actually lead them to something abnormal. After all, this whole thing did not make any sense, at least not, if one was thinking that the culprit was a human. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Nodding reassuring to himself three times,&nbsp; the big green eyes stared deep into the icy blues that clung to the believe that Valsche was his best friend. Despite the way the silver haired youth spoke, and the underlined dissatisfaction in the voice was seemingly ignored. But then again, Ian had told himself at the start of their first&nbsp; interaction that Valsche just needed a bit of buttering up and in the end he would come out of his tsundere shell. The taller and much stronger youth was willing to do what he did best to help him with his lunch thief, and although Ian couldn't agree to the ways, he still took the thought to heart and appreciated it. The fingers unraveled themselves loose, slipping out of the others grasp with one hand, before reaching it to the others head, and giving it a few gentle pats on the head. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;"There will be no taking care of somebodies. But thank you Val." The boy said with a reassuring nod, before turning himself to face the rest of the crowed, though more so to acknowledge the words that were being spoken in terms of how to get revenge on the thief. "And no poisoning the thief ether Adela, I don't even know if&nbsp; it would actually work on the creature!" Ian softly, yet sternly spoke. "We first need to see if we can't solve the clues they had left in stead of my lunch. It's all on the table. I am sure that it must all add up to something and lead us to the next clue." Parting his lips briefly, the brunette found himself realizing, that he still hadn't explained how he had come to the conclusion that the one behind the thefts wasn't human.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;"See, for the last two days I have been keeping an even closer eye on my lunch then I ever have before, yet, even though it was always on me or within my sight, the thief still managed to swap it out for something. I never saw even saw it happen!" The boy was clearly very excited about the whole thing, despite the fact that all clues most likely lead to the fact that he could possibly just be dealing with a bully. The large pools of green went from one person to another, searching for their reactions. "The thief just can't possibly be human!"

Chiharu was at a bit at a loss as to what to say here. The good news was that Ian had ruled out Val's suggestion to beat the living snot out of whoever was doing the thieving and Adelaide's plan to poison the responsible parties. The bad news... well... "You think it was something like elves or aliens or the Easter Bunny who stole your lunch?" The words came out deadpan, clearly indicating her skepticism on such matters. There was simply no place in Chiharu's well-ordered rational universe for invisible lunch-nabbing goblins. But of course, being in the ES Club placed her smack dab in the middle of Ian's universe, which unfortunately did allow for such things, conveniently sidestepping the point that they, for lack of a more polite way to express the idea, <em>didn't exist.</em><br><br>"Look. I'm really sorry that someone has taken it upon him or herself to steal your lunch. All we really need to do here is keep close watch on the lunch to see which <em>person</em> it is. Perhaps cover the bag with something that will show up on his or her hand or clothes or... I don't know... I sure we can think of something that doesn't violate at least three federal statutes." Her voice trembled a little with irritation. Coming up with impromptu plans weren't quite Chiharu's forte. Give her a day or two and she could come up with something, but at the moment, she didn't really have anything off the top of her head.

There was a certain way to these things. Poisoning might just make things worse. Who knew if human poisons would even work on whatever creature they were dealing with. what if it was some poison slime and the poison made it grow to kaiju size? He’d be able to handle it of course. Nothing could stop him if he was forced to use his full power but he was worried that his comrades in the ES club might come to harm. If he let that happen it would bring disgrace to his dragon spirit.<br><br>Making his way over to the table to see what&nbsp; was there Blair gave them a look over before turning to Chiharu as she blamed elves, aliens and the Easter bunny for the mess. “Of course it’s not the Easter bunny. It’s not even April yet.” He explained as if it was the simplest thing in the world. “Probably not elves either unless Ian’s lunch is made out of wood or something. It’s far more likely to be something like a boogart or an English pixie, or trow. Maybe even a gremlin.” He explained as&nbsp; if he were the one with common sense in the club room and the others just couldn’t see it. He paused for a moment before speaking. “Still you are at least thinking along the right path. Come assistant we must study and find out what is bothering Ian.” He declared, having decided that Chiharu would make for a capable assistant.

Scattered across the table, and an item or two on the floor, was a lot of the useless junk Ian had collected over the years, but in the center was the shoe lace the boy had earlier mentioned, along with other things. The biggest item was the a school gym sweater that was clearly at least two sizes too big for Ian, on top of that was a box about the size of a small pencil case filled with jelly beans, and last, but not least, was an empty can of tuna. The other items scattered across the table, were just the usual things found in Ian's pocket, an eraser, a few pens, some marbles and smoothed out rocks and glass, and more, but it was clear that the green eyed youth had collected what he considered the most solid evidence in the center of the table. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Well, asides from the spatula that had flung itself off the table when Ian violently woke up to the school bell ringing, there was nothing too much out of the ordinary to note down in the room. What was perhaps surprising was the fact that the boy had actually managed to leave the jelly beans alone, but so far it looked that ether the thief left the tuna can empty, or the hungry teen had given into the temptation of eating tuna for lunch one of his missing lunch days.

I'm fine either way~<br><hr>The corners of Valsche’s lips turned downwards into an unpleasant scowl as his offer to help was deftly declined, and Ian scampered off to seek advice and assistance from the others in the room. Staring irritably at the back of the brunet boy’s head, as he to prattle and rant about what clearly sounded like a simple case of bullying, Valsche briefly balled his fists tight silent contemplation. Wondering if now was the right time to expel the buildup of stress that Ian had caused him the past few weeks. If no punches were to be hurled, Ian shouldn’t have asked him for his opinion or help… and if physical aggression was off the list of possibilities, what point was there in Valsche attending classes tomorrow? In fact there wasn’t any point of him even being present right now.<br><br>His mood soured even more as the various figures scattered across the room gradually began to congregate unanimously around the dullest scheme possible. Valsche’s evaluation might not have been all that positive, but he liked to believe Ian was competent enough notice something if his lunch was being snatched out from right under his nose. <br><br>Whatever the case, his interest in the topic had all but dissolved at this point. Valsche didn’t have a bottomoless well off delusional creativity to draw from like Blair and Ian. Nor was he propelled onward by a sense of righteousness like Chiharu. Joanna… well he didn’t know what her motives were, but if the look she was giving him was anything to go by, it was probably best he never found out. He supposed if he had to pick one, he was closest to Adelaide in the sense that she seemed to want something a bit more… but she seemed intent on milking the craziness of the situation for all it was worth, whereas Valsche couldn’t discern anything worthwhile in playing warden over Ian’s lunch. In either case, it wasn’t something serious enough for Valsche to sacrifice an entire <em>’school day’</em> for. <br><br>“You’ve got to be kidding me” he grumbled discontentedly, not really caring who or what heard him. The discussion at hand had essentially devolved into a boring scheme and analysing junk, and Valsche had no interest in either. What little patience he usually held in reserve for the scatterbrained leader of the club had been worn thin by his earlier rebuttal, and it was either Valsche left… or started taking his frustration on those present. He’d chosen the club room to hang out since the teachers at the school wouldn’t bother him here… but after hearing the latest nonsense, he figured he’d take his chances sleeping in the library. <br><br>“Well, problem solved. Good luck, I’m out.” Valsche snapped curtly, picking himself off the ground and heading for the door. <br><br>

However, beyond that she kept her composure, and given the selection of items on the table, chose to focus upon that instead. She took out a small notebook, dated it, and wrote<br><br><em>Items Placed in Lieu of Ian's Lunch</em><br><br>Nothing quite put things in their proper place like a list.<br><br><em>Shoelace, white (1)</em> It was an ordinary shoelace, which could belong to practically anyone.<br><br><em>Gym Sweater, blue, Size Large (1)</em> This could actually help to limit the number of suspects, though Chiharu supposed that a smaller person could have received the sweater from a larger one.<br><br><em>Box, red, 15x7x2 cm, containing <br>Jellybeans (23 - Red: 5, Green: 4, Yellow: 6, White: 4, Black: 2</em> It was frankly a miracle that Ian hadn't ate the evidence.

If anything, it cast suspicion on Joanna.<br><br>And there one had it. The "clues." Sadly, there was little there that made sense at all. In fact, Chiharu was even beginning to doubt her bully hypothesis. Bullies liked their victims to notice what was going on and rub their faces in it. This kind of finesse did not match that modus operandi, and if anything posed more questions than it answered.<br><br>It didn't help that Valsche had decided to make his departure at this particular juncture. "Really,' she chided as she closed the notebook and gave him <em>that look.</em>&nbsp; "You're supposed to be Ian's friend. The least you could do is spare him another ten minutes of your valuable time, however it is that you usually spend it."

But, as far as the brunette believed, it was their strong form of friendship that always dragged the silver haired youth back into the chaos, one way or another. So it was only a matter of when he'd be joining again, and Chiharu seemed to have done something to stall the blue eyed young man from leaving just yet. But, Ian attention for the time being, was completely stolen by Blair, who had just declared he'd stay by his side during this quest!<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Ian found himself cupping both of Blair's hands in his own, lifting them up between the two and looking down at the raven haired youth with stars in his eyes. "I will feel honored having you by my side and in your sight, Blair. " The green eyes continued to light up with excitement, till they once again landed on the table, as the fingers slowly let go of the smaller hands. Perhaps getting the group to split up wasn't such a bad idea... Perhaps that was what Valsche had been trying to tell Ian all along? Of course! That must have been what the other had been trying to say without using words. The brunette felt his chest rise a bit as the feeling of excitement continued to swell within him, perhaps he had an even stronger bond with his new formed group of friends after today, even Chiharu seemed to have gone far enough to try to stop Valsche from leaving, and Joanna thought of his safety first. Even Adelaide was willing to get into a whole lot of trouble to help him catch the being while as well punishing them at the same time for their act. To think, this was the same group of people that used to take a while to talk them into following him on his hunts. Well, everyone asides from Blair at least.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;"They grow up so fast." The brunette softly whispered to himself, wiping away a single fake tear; the boy couldn't help but to feel a rather false sense of pride. The green eyes that gleamed with almost childlike excitement, found themselves running over the evidence a final time, before Ian gave a firm nod.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;"Alright, I have concluded that the best way to continue is for us to split up into pairs!" The young man exclaimed, folding his hand into a fist, before placing into the open palm of the other to enhance his seriousness of this whole thing. "Chiharu and Valsche can see if they can't find the owner of the gym shirt, someone from any of the sport clubs must be missing his sweater. Perhaps then we can find some more clues as to what it was that stole the sweater from them, and if there has been something left behind there as well." Ian spoke, a lot calmer then the ball of excitement from before. Kneeling himself down, the brunette reached for the spatula that had been knocked of the table before, before looking at the two other girls.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;"Joanna and Adela could see if there is anything else missing from the school kitchen other then a spatula and a can of tuna and see if there are any evidence there..." Ian drifted off for a moment, as he thought briefly. "Me and Blair will go and see if there is anything else missing from any of the other club rooms to see if there is anything else out of place." The brunette spoke, once again putting his fist into the open palm to enhance his point when speaking. "Then we meet up here in the club room when we are done, how does that sound?" Ian finished with a smile, looking around the group at everyone with puppy like excitement. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

She stepped forwards to make her own suggestions - she had, after all, spent a significant amount of time considering just how the group would best pair off (or form threesomes) - but it seemed that Ian had beaten her to the decision. Not that she was too upset with his choices. Sure, she would have put Valsche in with Ian and Blair so that the two gentler boys could bring out Val's clear desire (clear in her head, at least), while assigning the other two girls together, but the first two pairings made sense. Ian and Blair ... yes. Very much yes. They were already close, and she was glad to see that her subtle pushes had moved them closer, perhaps to the point where they might consider acting on their feelings, and Chiharu and Valsche made some sense, too. Hopefully the other girl would tired of the boy's defiance and put him in his place. Naturally, with Chiharu, that would be licking her feet, possibly very literally. <br><br>As for herself and Adelaide, Joanna was a bit confused. As much as she thought about (and watched, and drew and fantasized) other people pairing off, she'd never considered herself as an active part in any such pairing. Still, there weren't any issues that she knew of between her and the other girl and, in fact, she suspected that she might be okay with Joanna's plan of sneaking off to watch the others. <br><br>While she nodded in agreement, the only outward sign of Joanna's thoughts were the even more glazed look in her eyes, the slight flush on her cheeks and the way her breath had gotten just a little bit heavier.

				<div class="floatleft">(https://s20.postimg.org/jpam6d9sd/Valsche.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Valsche<br><strong>Time:</strong> After School<br><strong>Location:</strong> ES Club Room<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Chiharu, Open<br><strong>Notes:</strong> <br><hr>With Ian and Blair’s attention so fervently occupied with their nonsensical shenanigans, there was little doubt in Valsche’s mind that his departure would be left unimpeded by any of the others. Joanna and Adelaide might have spared a comment or two, but Valsche was confident that neither of them would demand his presence in any case. As for Chiharu… well, he clearly hadn’t given the girl enough thought to realize she’d be the one to jump snappishly on his case. In truth Valsche had hoped that either the junk-like evidence scattered across the table, combined with her holy crusade against the culprit would be enough to keep her preoccupied enough. But alas it seemed Chiharu was indeed a woman, and that sadly meant she could nag her insanity upon multiple people, on numerous fronts simultaneously.&nbsp; <br><br>Sighing in an overly exaggerated manner and casting a half hearted sideward glance towards the source of the venomous whining. Chiharu’s berating of his non-commitment shouldn’t have come across as a surprise to any of those present… and yet Valsche had naively hoped that her tyrannous orderliness would cease along with the ringing of the final school bell. Such logic however was clearly completely lost on the girl, and Valsche was almost certain that Chiharu would either die in an alley with a knife sticking out of her back, or would overwork herself to the point of collapsing at the most inopportune time. <br><br>“I have to admit, I’ve never met anyone who’s been so interested in how I spend my free time” Valsche scowled, expressing his clear displeasure at being halted. This wasn’t the first time Chiharu had impeded on his freedom of existence, and unfortunately Valsche was certain it wouldn’t be the last. In fact, Valsche was certain that his unpopularity amongst the female populace, could only be matched by the disdain held towards Chiharu from the male students; most of which liked to mess around and be a bit disorderly from time to time. <br><br>“If you’re so desperate, I suppose you can tag along. Who knows, you might even learn how to have a good time” Valsche joked, knowing full well that Chiharu would never enjoy squandering her time doing something unproductive. The thought surprisingly lingered within his mind for a few moments as he pictured dragging Chiharu into a maelstrom of trouble and mischief, his mind’s eye relishing the expression of anguish and frustration it’d undoubtedly cause on the prissy-uptight girl’s features.<br><br>“Though what insanity makes you think I’m friends with-” he started, only to be interrupted as he cast his eyes over towards Ian; who had simultaneously decided to start allocating people tasks and partners. Whether Ian had taken Valsche’s invitation towards Chiharu seriously or not was unclear, as Valsche honestly doubted Ian had the wits to notice sarcasm, even if it was staring him right in the face. Though with that said… joining up with crazy Adelaide, or creepy Joanna didn’t seem any more ideal. Critical Chiharu was far from an ideal partner, but he supposed he had to take some comfort in knowing Chiharu wouldn’t start accusing goblins and fairies for the missing lunch.<br><br>“Fine, whatever” he scoffed rudely, marching back over towards the table and unceremoniously latching a firm grip around Chiharu’s wrist. Only to roughly tug her towards the door with hasty enthusiasm. “Lets go Little Miss Perfect, time to go badger and obstruct those hard working afterschool sportsmen” he snickered crudely, not even bothering to check if Chiharu had made a grab from the dirty sweater.&nbsp; <br>

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l530/WyldeSK/greenhairtwo_zps07a186b7.jpg)</div>Name: Chiharu Nishihara<br>Time: After School<br>Location: ES Club<br>Tagging: Club Members<br>Notes: Valsche, Open<br><hr><br>"I am only interested in how you spend your time as it affects your fellow classmates." One would be more willing to consider this particularly rebuttal of Chiharu's effective if only she didn't consider that to be essentially <em>all</em> of anyone's time, especially Valsche's. Then again, this was a woman who had braved the elements, the rumors of bad neighborhoods, and of course, Val's own formidable ire to go to his house and bring him his homework on numerous occasions - a task no teacher would dare to undertake even once. Even more surprisingly - apparently she survived these ordeals, much to her classmates' expectations and desires to the contrary.<br><br>Still, even Chiharu's fortitude had its limits, as evidenced by the way her mouth twisted as Ian handed out the assignments. "You want me to go with <em>whom</em>?" But she knew Ian well enough that his mind wouldn't be changed, and she herself was determined to get to the bottom of this lunchtime thievery, regardless of whatever she may have to endure in the process. Even this.<br><br>"Fine," she announced, keeping the majority of her annoyance out of her voice. "Let's go, Val. Given the nature of the task before us, it is even possible that some of your skills may actually prove useful. There <em>is</em> a first time for everything after all." Again, this would have been more impressive if she weren't already effectively being dragged towards the sports fields. At least she had the presence of mind to grab the sweater before they had left.<br>

				<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/bAvFcaL.jpg)</div>Name: Blair<br>Time: After school<br>Location:&nbsp; Clubroom<br>Tagging:&nbsp; Everybody in the clubroom<br>Notes: lunch time investigator<br>&nbsp;<hr><br>Blair nodded his head and stared back with his red contact lens covered eye as Ian took him by the hands and gave them a squeeze as the other male agreed to work together with him to stop this despicable lunch-napper.&nbsp; “I will do my best to help you with all the assistance me and my dragon spirit can provide.” He promises before they separated for a few moments so that Ian could declare how the pairings worked. Using the time, he was free he looked around the room, glad to see that the others were taking this as seriously as they should. Who knew what kind of evil creature might be waiting for them at the end. They had to be prepared to face whatever this creature might be. Whatever it was however he was sure that it could not him, Blair heir of the prince of dragons and protector of good.<br><br>When Ian finished his announcement about the pairings Blair nodded his head in agreement. The youth with the eye-patch agreed that this did sound like a good idea. There was no guarantee that Ian was the only target. They would have to check every bit of each of the different club rooms and go through everything they could get their hands on. If they did that surely they would find some clue. Besides he was a hero and all heroes were allowed to enter stranger’s homes and loot any container with items in it that they find without any consequences.<br><br>“Very well, I an! We must prepare for our journey and make sure we are ready for battle if the worst should occur. As you are the club leader I will do whatever I can to protect you.” He promised with a nod of his head andknealed in front of Ian as he made his oath before standing up once again. “Now we must begin our investigation. which clubs should we start with? Basketball, home-ec? If the creature likes food maybe it steals what the home-ec cooking club prepares.” He declares as he points towards the door with his declaration of starting the investigation.<br>
