You cannot deal with this...?

[Its around the afternoon when green smoke rises from the top of the roof of Volya's school. Now if everyone remembers correctly, this was the smoke pellet for 'Get me out of here, something crazy is happening. In fact it was coming out in intervals until it terminated into a massive green cloud meaning Volya used up ALL his green smoke pellets in a frenzy. Whatever was happening really must have freaked him out. When you find him he was pacing rapidly, fidgeting and fumbling before rushing over to you - grabbing you by the arms.]

I followed Asagi's advice to start my own club and try make it something no one else would join.

[He pulls out a paper with a nigh panicked look in his face. 'Student's Comparative Defensive Theology Study Group'. There was his name. Then at least slightly more than a dozen more names added to it as well.]

Some of these guys came from the OTHER CLUBS! I've got the heads of those ones out for my blood!

Help. Me.

[2] (Choose between talking with Teach or calming down Volya.)
[Whether or not you were one of the people who answered Volya's panicked summons or were simply there to hang around, a teacher waves you over.]

"Pardon, but you are an acquaintance of Volya's? Could you take this note to his guardians for me? Its regarding the upcoming parent teacher conference. Normally we would pass these notes to the students themselves but.... he's been looking rather stressed lately and I didn't want him to worry."

[LATER. BACK AT SAKIHAMA BASE]

THERE'S A WHAT?!?!?!

[Volya is now in full panic mode.]

3) [Day of the PT Conference]
[The Volunteers in question sat across the Teacher who looked somewhat... curious? Perturbed? Unsure. Either way they start off slow.]

"So.... you are Volya-san's guardians?"

[Just how bad is this going to go?]

[Ken pretty much just appears through the smoke, looking as if he's about draw a weapon-]

What hap-

[And then he shuts up as a certain piece of paper is put in his face.]

...Maybe back up for someone who just got back from Mars. Why was no one else supposed to join?

[mistaken_for_monster]

W...well, Asagi suggested that if there was a club that sounded really complicated I'd be able to keep to myself and not get dragged around by the people in the clubs AND nobody would give me trouble for not being in one.

It backfired...

[Volya just dropped on his rear and bonked his head lightly on his knees like one would repeatedly bang their head on a desk.]

It really backfired.

[tiger_ken]

...So instead you get to drag other people around. I really don't see the problem in this. I mean, you pilot Interitus, how can a few potential bullies be any trouble?

[This is coming from something who clearly could not get bullied, at least physically, as a child.]

[mistaken_for_monster]

... Ken. I'm pretty sure there's a huge difference between myself and the giant plant dog thing who does things for me.

[Yeeeaaaah... Volya doesn't want to bring up how he almost passed out halfway through Phys Ed.]

I didn't want to be a club head or anything like that, I don't even have the first idea of what we'd even do!

[tiger_ken]

Well... it sounds mostly like a kind of... debate group? Like you'd go back and forth on how to defend against differing gods. You know, like nerds arguing over super robots, or superheroes.

Heck, you could always... 'test' some things, if you ask Suma or the like.

"Volya!" Dido shouts with alarm. "Calm down, or I'll might have to try and slap you back to your senses! And I'm not sure if that works outside of tv shows!"

[mistaken_for_monster]

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE!!! WHO AM I EVEN SUPPOSED TO BRING!? WHO!?!?!

[Volya is in full freakout mode here.]

[actuallyselfish]

"...I've no choice then." Dido mutters to herself, and boldly raises her pimp hand! "COME BACK TO YOUR SENSES LIKE A MAN...VOLYAAAA!"

She brings her open palm rushing down like a fearsome typhoon–!

"...eh!"

Dido averts her eyes, and her slap touches down on Volya's cheek as gently as a snowflake, then awkwardly slides off.

"...I suck at this." Dido mumbles. "Look Volya...why don't you just bring the people you admire to this parent teacher conference? If they're too young, you can just say they're your older siblings...or cousins!"

[mistaken_for_monster]

But... I just... I'm not too sure about this... Who would even be the best person to ask?

[Ashe came in when seeing the SOS flare - Hunters always leave everything to rescue fellow Hunters in trouble, it's part of the charter. However, what she finds when she gets onto the roof makes her blink]

...what? Is that all?

[She then grins]

Don't worry! I'll deal with these guys after you for you. Come on, let's go downstairs again and point me at them.

[mistaken_for_monster]

I... have no idea if that's a good idea or a bad one.

[Volya sighs tiredly.]

Honestly it can't be any worse than what Asagi came up with. Lets just get this over with.

[booty_chaser]

Oh ye of little faith. Don't worry, I'll get those bullies off your back. If they didn't want pepople deserting, they should have made their own clubs more interesting.

You're gonna have to deal with your new club yourself, though. It'll be good for you, Volya. Who knows, you might even make some friends! [She pats the younger kid, friendly]

[mistaken_for_monster]

['Maybe if I'm lucky these friends won't stab me in the back for a chance at an adventure.' Was what Volya almost said.]

Just... try not to scare them too badly alright I have enough trouble as it is.

"VOOOOOOLYAAAAAAAAAA!"

[-SHUN FUKUI. KENDO CLUB LEADER.-]

...Did I just see-

[Volya shakes his head rapidly, must be the stress. In any case, there's a dude about a year or so older than Volya, with a couple of other guys with him also dressed in Kendo gear.]

"You're going to pay for usurping the guidance of my precious little sister from me! HAVE AT YOU!!!"

[...Is this guy for real?]

[63rd_shockwave]

[Much more relaxed than the teachers is the guardian in question; a blond woman in a suit...eating a lollipop.]

...Sure.

[star_of_sad]

Yes. That's us.

[Like hell is Setsuko letting Sarah come here by herself. Hopefully no one will get wrong ideas about two women coming to the conference.]

We're not blood related obviously, but we're his... guardians.

[Fidget, fidget. Not helping.]

[mistaken_for_monster]

[Volya honestly has no idea how to feel about this. Still, he can appreciate the amusing irony of someone who tried to murder him essentially getting dragged into this. The teacher coughs lightly before arranging some papers.]

Well, I can reassure you that academically he's been doing well enough, even with the disadvantage of the language barrier mind you.

[She pauses and slips her glasses off, tapping them on her finger.]

My concerns are primarily regarding his, well... how should we put it.

[There was a brief pause as she pondered how to word the situation.]

His social anxieties, as well as his emotional well being.

... Admittedly his difficulty to keep up with the Physical Education curriculum may also be some cause for concern, especially given how he almost passed out that one time.

[SHAME. ALL THE SHAME UPON VOLYA'S HEAD.]

[star_of_sad]

That one time?

[empress_without_a_throne]

Why is that so surprising? Did they not have conferences in Russia?

[mistaken_for_monster]

We did! It just that...I... well...

Who would even go for me?

[empress_without_a_throne]

We'll find someone. Unfortunately, I don't think I'd be a viable candidate. You're a few years older than me, after all.

[mistaken_for_monster]

Yeah I-... Wait what?

[This confuses the Volya.]

[cloningblues]

Comparative theology... What is this even suppose to be?

[mistaken_for_monster]

I don't even know! I just picked a lot of complicated words and slapped them together into something really official sounding!

[cloningblues]

The plan backfired...

[Asagi starts to think people will join any club as long as Volya's in it.]

Is it too late to disband it?

[mistaken_for_monster]

I can't... the club has to be active for at least a week...

[Que panicked flailing and pacing.]

AND it has to be a majority decision from the club to disband!
