More than anything I'm doing this for characterization - our character has nothing to do. She's going to be throwing herself into the job because she doesn't have anything else left right now.

[X] Not just yet. (I want to make sure I know what I'm doing first.)
More experience, though. Not even just the numbers kind, but the 'how do we do things' kind.

This reminded me of the quest, sort of:
Since you always pester me about late updates on MMoOF, is it alright for me to do the same to you?

Funny that you mention that, 'cause I was about to leave a comment pestering you about it.

"Hmm… Well, I'm already here, right?" You point out. "May as well just get it over with now."
"If you're certain."
"I am." You're not entirely sure you're ready, actually, but still feel this is the most sensible course of action. "So what exactly do I need to do?"
Death stands up and stretches casually, before beginning to explain. "There's a corrupted spirit gestating up in the fourth floor. It's in a sort of limbo between 'my' world and the living world; else I'd take care of it personally. I'm not sure exactly how dangerous it may be; best case scenario is that it's a simple poltergeist, but the worst case… well, I'm sure that as a highschooler, you've probably snuck out to at least one horror movie above your age rating, no? It could be harmless, but since it's taken up in a more public space than usual, it would be bad to give it the chance to do anything."
You shiver, thinking of your classmates. "So that's what I'm dealing with. What am I supposed to do?"
She just shrugs at you, grin carefree but eyes serious. "I have no idea, but I'm sure you can figure something out." She cracks a grin and does an about-face, walking down the row toward the front, hands clasped behind her back. "And if you do get overwhelmed… there's no shame in running. This thing will be able to hurt you in a way merely physical opponents can't. Step carefully."
You nod in understanding, then follow it up with a hasty bow. "Thank you." When you stand back up, the world is back to normal, with no sign of her ever having been present. Time to head upstairs.
The fourth floor of the building was reserved for teacher's offices and club rooms. Being part of the 'going-home club,' you've never actually been up there yourself, aside from running an errand for one of your upperclassmen one time. It's not drastically different from the lower floors anyway; just offers a better view out at the neighborhood.
Once you've tromped up the stairs, it isn't hard to detect your quarry's presence; despite the wide windows on one side letting in the orange cloud-glow from outside, the shadows up here are thick and enveloping. At the far end of the hall, there's a patch of blackness watching you. This isn't like the stranger, whose brand of darkness seems more like a cluster of dark clouds or a shady spot on well-lit day, concealing something real in the sudden contrast; instead this is like the essence of midnight itself has taken form. You stare it down, and you can tell it's doing the same for you. And then it moves.
What do you do?

Okay, but how did it move? Did it move aggressively towards us? Is it cowering away form us?
It'd be really stupid to try to talk if it's in the process of pouncing and clawing our face off.

While we're waiting for either more information or diabolical qm laughter - tactics.
If it's charging we need to excise whatever this is. Probably transform and then put to use what we learned about walking through walls with applied stabbing. Since we look like a normal student if it attacks it's a clear and present threat.
If it's walking, turn on a light if we can, and try to talk, if at a distance and with an escape route.
But I'm leaving towards it charging. Given the hints that it's perfectly fine to run away.

Summer break has an impressive time-dilation effect. One day suddenly becomes a whole week, and what you thought was Thursday was actually Friday. It's kind of frightening, to be frank.
Not really. Given the rest of the setting, the colorful hair isn't that strange. Just update, please.And then you give me so much shrek for doing the same thing in my quest?
So it has. Seems the misunderstanding has been resolved already, though, so that's good.
Unless it's by dark/directly spirit-related magic, you can't die a second time. You'll still feel pain, though.
I'll forgive you as soon as the new characters have had their say.
It simply moved; Kikuko is presently too freaked out despite herself to process much more than that.

Ehehehe... ^_^; I'm working on it. Been slow since I've also been busy putting in applications for a summer job. (Even though it's already a good way into the summer...)
I feel your pain
Derails aside...
I imagine Kikuko would be reluctant to experience that sort of thing, but there are still probably all sorts of horrible ways we could abuse this, hehehe...
