((Sorry bout that, XD I was busy on the other RP. I'll revive this one right now . . .just give me a moment . . . *prepares revive spell*))
Tsubame took her shower early, so as to be able to relax earlier as well. Her major duties for the day were over, and so she went down and out of the main compound to relax under the light of the moon, with a cool breeze coming from the north. She laid down and stared at it for a while, thinking that the year was going to be fun , yet something told her that things were also about to speed up real soon.
She pondered once again about Captain Hitsugaya's earlier address, looking to see if she could find any holes in his speech. Alas, she could find none aside from what was stated already. Feeling really disgruntled, she stood up and headed to the Kidou grounds secretly, opening the door quietly to ascertain that she was alone. It was somewhat dark, but that was the way she was used to it.
Taking her zanpakutou from its sheath, she held it up in front of her, marveling at its simplicity and beauty. Truly, this was something more than just a routine for her now. Switching it from her right hand to her left, she held the chain at the end and brought it closer to the tip, unleashing her Shikai form.
"Accelerate," she said quietly, so as to try and contain her reiatsu a little, so that no one would notice she was in here, "Yumiharizuki."
The sword extended and grew to its true length, forming into a bow a few moments later. Her sheath transformed itself into a quiver full of a variety of arrows, ranging from short to long, from small and narrow-tipped to wide and large. She place her hand on her quiver and took out a regularly-shaped arrow. Carefully, she nocked it onto her bow and drew the string to its length, feeling the cogs loosen, and the frame tighten. Taking a deep breath, she held it, aimed for a target on the far end of the field and let loose the arrow. Normally, she would charge it with a Kidou spell, but she wanted the simplicity of archery to last for a while.

"Nice shot, dear Tsubame." Makoto had entered the Kidou grounds when Tsubame was aiming her arrow. "You're an expert marksman if ever I've seen one." He smiled. "Your abilities seem more like those of a Quincy, though I am glad that you are a Shinigami. After all, they aren't exactly our best friends."

Tsubame shot an eye towards her senpai. Even in the darkness she could see clearly, maybe even clearer than during the day. At first she thought she might be found out by one of the faculty, but her instinct told her otherwise. In the three years that she's been coming here, never before has she been interrupted in her training, nor found out by faculty; she had always been alone in here, during the night time.
"What are you doing here, senpai?" She asked, going back to aiming another arrow, "you know we're not supposed to be here."
She released the arrow again, ending a couple inches close to the first one. "Tch," she said under her breath, "I need to polish my skills."

"I'm aware," Makoto replied, "but I just couldn't get any sleep. I find that taking a walk in the moonlight helps refocus my thoughts. Granted, I usually take to the Zan training dojo, but I felt like a change of scenery." He shifted his gaze toward the moon. "What brings you here, I wonder?"

Nirami slipped into the males showers, finding only a few there. The rest had taken one before the day started, which was when the black-haired male didn't. He disliked the rush. Finding a relatively organized shower stall, he set Homura, his towels and his clothes on a bench that rested outside of it. Examining a few more bruises and making note where to keep himself from getting hit the next day, he slipped into a shower of warm water, thoroughly washing his body and hair.
Task completed, Nirami grabbed his towel and dried himself off, working for a bit on his hair as he sat with a towel around his waist. Everything as dry as he could get it, he redressed and re-strapped Homura to his side before returning to his room to hang up his towels. He'd picked a one-person room, and was quite pleased with it.
When done making sure his towels would dry without gaining unpleasant smells, Nir headed out for a stroll, never one for falling asleep at a decent time.

((Hmmm, I was hoping you'd think of meeting someone on your own. Hmmm . . . Magni, meet with Yoder and Nirami. Trowa's with me right now and Gash should meet us as well.))
"Nothing really," she began, "I've been coming here for the past couple years, few times a week." She charged an arrow again with a Kidou spell and shot it once more, hitting a target near the center but still some ways off.
The ground shook suddenly however, and the entire grounds seemed to rumble with a tremendous quake. Being in her archer stance, Tsubame quickly lost footing and had to take a step to her side to steady herself. Quickly, she sheathed Yumiharizuki and began to run outside. Outside, the grounds seemed darker than usual, and a look up at the night sky presented an unusual sight: the moon was being consumed by what seemed to be a black substance.
"What the-", was all Tsubame could say, speechless at the phenomenon.

Makoto's eyes widened as the moon was engulfed in darkness. That's rather unusual, he thought. Lack of moonlight outside of the regular pattern... What could be happening?
He turned to Tsubame. "I've never seen that happen before. What d'you make of it?"

((I guess I'll initiate a meeting. It's up to whoever posts first.))
After finishing his classes, Yuki went to the usual outside area where some students lounged after a long day of classes and training. A pipe ending in a spigot curling back toward the ground was the only thing aside from tress that interrupted the small grassy area. Kneeling to draw some water from the pipe, he took a draught. After lounging there for a short time, he decided to retire to his room for a while. He was glad to not be paired with another student, because the higher-rounders were given more of the solo rooms. Relaxing for an hour or two, he left the room to go outside. The mid-evening air was exhilirating and most of the lower classmen had already gone to bed. There were a few others outside off in a separte area, but Yuki thought not to bother them.
The night was well-lit by the moon, and that was enough for Yuki to see aptly. Concentrating his spiritual pressure, he built it up in his aura. The particles of Reitsu were flitting about in his vicinity rapidly as he gathered them. In several seconds he had his maximum pressure built up around him. Charging his aura was a simple task for him, but sustaining it for a time proved difficult beyond a few minutes. Crouching to give the particles a smaller nucleus, he continued his focus, the grasses around him wavered with the constant presence of spiritual energy. As the sky grew dark, Yuki slowly released his hold on the reitsu. Strange, I never knew the moon could darken here. It was then that he sensed the presence of another student somewhere behind him.

(( I'll take that point ))
Nirami had been wandering for a bit, still quite awake and unable to sleep, and eventually wandered towards the feel of a strong rietsu. He watched Yuki from afar, and noted the darkening sky as the other released the spiritual pressure. Looking up with a slight discomfort, he looked back down to who he'd been observing, and approached the other student, curious to see what the other thought it might be. He was feeling slightly sociable, at the moment.
"Senpai." Nir murmured when he got close enough. He vaguely recognized the other, and gave a respectful nod of his head. He then looked up again. "Is this unusual, or is that just my own thought?" he asked aloud, hand resting on Homura.

Turning his head at being addressed, he saw a male student with his zan. Dang it, I've got to stop forgetting Maru at my room. It's quite irresponsible of me considering that I'm a 6th-rounder. Turning fully around to speak with the other, Yuki replied, "I have never witnessed this phenomenom before. Your guess is as good as mine. By the way, I am Yuki Daruma." Hoping that his extension for a handshake didn't reveal his lack of zanpaktou, he displayed a friendly smirk and polite nod. The night continued to grow ever-darker as more of the moon was swallowed by some enigma.
