The room isn't spacious, because it doesn't need to be. There's a stand and a stool for a conductor towards the front of the room. There are a few chairs scattered about the room, that are adjacent to stand, though there's an abundance of chairs and stands in a corner of the room.
On the opposite wall of chairs and stands, instruments that lie in their instrument cases exist, which all look untouched due to the visible dust on them. It's apparent that all of the students bring their own instruments, which would be logical because none of the school's instruments seem to have been tuned recently.
A stack of music books, by various composers lie on the table that's adjacent to the door. They're of various difficulties, though mostly for the intermediate music players.

The sweet sound of the violin filled with the room, as Naoki played the only song she knew perfectly by heart, which was titled as "Don't Forget Me". Despite how this was the first time she had been in the room, it felt familiar. Any place with a chair, a stand for music, and her violin in her hands could feel like home to her. Several strands of hair had found their way to in front of her face, but she refused to let go of the violin. When she had finished the song, she let out a sigh of relief, and put her hair in it's proper place; behind her ear.
She carefully set her violin down on her chair, and began rummaging through the pile of music books on the back table, hoping to find something that'd catch her interest.

Mari skipped in to the room swinging her bunny in one hand and her Viola case in her other. When she noticed Naoki she stopped. "Oh hello," she smiled, "I'm Mari, I don't think I've seen you around before." She walked over to one of the chairs and placed her bunny on one chair and her viola case on the other. "I like the High School Orchestra room more than the Elementary one. It's too loud in there, they aren't serious enough about the music yet."
Mari looked over at Naoki's violin."Oh wow your violin is beautiful. My father wanted me to start with the viola because of it's deeper and richer sound. But soon I'm going to start up the violin."

Naoki glared at the young child as if she was a disease, but didn't say anything matching her expression. "Well, thank you, and hello there Mari. Ah, yes, this place looks too dusty to be frequently used, so I seriously doubt it will ever get loud." She eyed the girl's viola case, and then wondered how a girl that young could be "serious" about music already. She recalled her early days of 3rd grade, with pure contempt toward the violin.
"You seem rather young to already be playing the viola, and it's quite astonishing to see that you're already serious about music," she said as she picked a music book and set it on the nearest stand.

Mari pulled out her viola and began to tune it. "My father gave me a choice when I was little I could play any instrument I wanted or take dance lessons." Mari grabbed a sheet of music from her case and set it on a stand then continued, "My grandmother was first chair when she was in the national orchestra. So I decided to try the viola and prepare myself for the violin. She was my tutor. Before she died she gave me Mr. Whiskers. I bring him with me everywhere I go, but not because I like having a stuffed animal companion but because when he's with me I'm reminded of my grandmother."
Mari began to play a sweet unknown melody on her viola. Then stopped inspected the viola to better tune it. "I consider Mr. Whiskers more of a muse than anything." She smile and started the same melody again.

"I see... so private tuning from somone from the national orchestra, sounds like fun. How long were you able to practice with her? You play well," Naoki asked, though inside her head, she was getting rather irritable, for being sweet was most certainly not her thing. Though, she didn't like being upfront rude, even she knew better than to do that.
She looked at the empty chairs aroud them, and noted that some of them were even a tad dusty. "Are we really the only members of the Orchestra Club? This place looks quite deserted."

Mari smiled, "Ah well she died when I was five so two years." Mari took a look around the room, "I don't know about the high school club. It might just be that they don't use this room very much." Mari cocked her head, "Is something wrong?"

"Well, two years can be a lengthy amount of time if you're being taught by such a professional teacher, I suppose," Naoki said thoughtfully as she carefully set her violin on her lap.
"Hm? I don't see what would be... wrong, I supposed adjusting to a new school on short notice is rather tiresome, you know," she said with a sigh, though she wondered how the girl was so quick to catch on. "How long have you been at this school?"

Mari giggled, "This is my second year. I'm only in first grade after all." Mari looked through more of her music.
Suddenly a chill ran up Mari's spine as the air in the room became suddenly cold. "Uh oh." Mari moaned, "That's never a good sign. At least the lights are still on. I don't like it when it's dark."

There was some tatting sounds outside the doors. "wait Gil. I think this room is suppose to be free." "What are you talking about it's probably locked." "You never know."
The door handle opened and two boys entered, one with dark black and the other with platimum blond. "See Gil I said it was open." Said the one with black hair with a key board by his waist.
"Open is right but it has people in it." said the other boy distainfully with a snare drum strapped onto him.

Naoki's eyes narrowed as she looked at the two boys that had just come in. "Yes, this room does happen to be occupied. If the string instruments weren't enough of a clue, this happens to be the Orchestra Club, and who might /you/ two be?" She asked, as she glared at both boys. As she awaited their response, she replied to Mari.
"I think I'll disagree with you on that, for darkness is so much easier on the eyes, you know? Though I suppose it might make playing by the sheet music a tad difficult," she murmured as she glanced at the open music book before her.

When the boys came rushing in then complained about the music room being occupied she cuckled, "At least you two didn't end up in the Host Club in the third floor music room."
After Naoki's response to the dark Mari looked down and whispered, "But I'm afraid of the dark."

"Ohh, I see..." Naoki knew what she meant, though she wasn't afraid of the dark itself. Odd shadows and noises had always bothered her at night, but now wasn't the time to admit that. "The Host Club?" Naoki asked curiously. She regretted not reading the the entire brochure on this place.
"So, what do you two need an empty room for?" Naoki asked in a sharp tone, as she looked over at the two boys.

To two boys looked at each other then at her. One boy shifted his keyboard, " To have a quiet place to practice of course."
"Yeah." responded the other boy twirling one of his drum sticks, "strings aint the only intrument." He said mockingly and tattled a rhythm on his snare.
"Oh! nice one Gil!" complented the dark haired one. "play that again!" He said switching on his key board.
Gil tatted away on is snare again with the same beat and his partner's fingers danced away up and down the key board. They started to play a very merry and jiggy type tone. "sounds like a kiddy carni." "Sure."
The PA screeched and the announcment about Terrence and his secret engagement went on. The two boys looked at each other with raised eyebrows. "Did you..." began the boy with the dark hair. "no...you?" "no....we didn' even head down thar."
"....uh-oh" They both said, both their ears started burning.

"Who's Terrence?" Naoki asked the boys, as she heard the announcement going off .
"I'm well aware that strings isn't the only instrument, but this does happen to be the Orchestra Club, and I don't think that they have keyboards and drums in an Orchestra," she said with a snicker, as she glared at their instruments.
"Regardless, who are /you/ two? One of you is Gil... and?"
