Fantasy Harunana Bank(Open)

[Reine]

There's a word that only a certain amount of people know. It's "Harunana." This word is entirely made up to serve the purpose of telling what lies in the normal. For instance, in a cafe named Harunana, its likely to have a very large amount of these people that know the word's meaning. Before revealing themselves, they could say, "Are you a Harunana too?" And in that way, they can meet others like them. That is the case for a high school club, the Harunana Bank.

The word was created by those with abilities that are said not to exist.

In the past, they've been burned as witches, or more recently, been outcasts, misunderstood to be cheap magicians.

The Bank is a club for these people, disguised as a high school club here favors are accepted and returned. Here's how it works:

A student has the option to sign a contract saying that they would like someone in the club to do them a favor. Under the agreement, one day the student must repay them with a favor that would make a loan shark turn pale.

So, that was how the club got its name. So far, the club has worked out fantastically, but recently they encountered a problem. Someone from inside the club, though it is uncertain who, told of the club's true nature. Since then, they had to close up the club for private reasons, taking it to one of the member's houses instead of at school, so no one would try to see what was happening inside. This is because the word's meaning was also released, so they could no longer tell who was truly a Harunana.

The club members have become something like celebrities, and many have been trying to get closer to them to find out if the rumors are true, fueled by teenage stubbornness and gullibility.​

Nachetanya-Rei sat on her bed. Just a few more minutes until they could meet up. She stood up and closed the blinds. It was one of the only times they could use their abilities. She Grabbed the doughnut from her desk and unwrapped it, slowly eating as she sat on her bed. Her parents were home, but they knew what was going on, so they were careful to keep away for the three hours the club went on. She was required to bring just about everything, so there was a giant stack of doughnuts on her desk, a pile of soda on her bed(not necessarily for drinking, but also for a target when practicing.) Finally, she set childish traps all over the room. The first one was tacks in the carpet, so if anyone took off their shoes when they got into the house, they would be in for an unpleasant surprise. The second was a cup of water on the door, leaning more towards the hallway than her room. So, if someone opened the door too quickly, they would get drenched.

Finally was a few Whoopie Cushions scattered around the bed under the blankets for when and if someone tried to sit on her bed in any other place than the exact spot she was in.

If all else failed, she had a small air horn in her backpack to use while everyone was eating.

This usually created a fantastic reaction from those who fell for her tricks time and time again. She looked forward to the day they didn't so she could finally be surprised.

Hiroshi was in a deep sleep practicing his dream manipulation ability. Since he could change his dreams at will he changed the time he perceived in the dream to be different than the actual time he spent asleep. This way he could tinker with his ability as long as needed and try to figure out some techniques and uses. Heck he could use his illusions in here as well. In this dream he started in his urban home in japan. It was as if he was reliving a memory. It was the day he left the house. He changed the dream a bit so that it seemed to be happening in Edo period Japan. That always made things more comical and interesting.


As soon as he turned 18 he moved out of his parents house and moved into his nearest Inari Shrine. His parents though he was possessed by a Kitsune and treated him like a monster. It was fine. All he had to do was no use his powers and everyone pretended everything was ok. But the monks at the shrine welcomed him better than his own family. His dream was disrupted when a senior monk woke him, reminding him that he was having a meeting with the bank today. With a deep yawn he threw on some clothing and paid his respect to the Inari and the senior monks before leaving.


As usual there was a crowd at the gates of the shrine. He wouldn't use his power, for now it was all speculation so he didn't want to validate anything.


When Hiroshi walked into the house he announced himself and kicked off his shoes.

Nachetanya heard a male voice from downstairs and she called down, "Iiiin myyy roooom!" She got another doughnut and began eating it, her eyes wandering around the room at her traps. Maybe these were too amateur. She would have to go bigger next time.

The girl stood up, calling, "I have the doughnuts!"

[St. Boethius]

"Donuts!?" Hiroshi sprinted up the stores and quickly burst through the door. His speed allowed him to dodge the water... mostly but when he stepped down in her room he felt the stabbing of her trap and with a yelp he jumped up and onto her bed. "Ow!! Why would you do that Rei?" Speaking in English


@Quarantine

 

[Reine]

Nachetanya-Rei looked at him, disappointed. "I thought you'd get better. We should try meeting at a hospital so you'd feel more comfortable being near immediate medical attention. Do I need to kiss your wounds?" Her words were joking, but her voice was monotone, as it usually was.

She tossed him a can of soda and pointed to the desk, unsure of what he wanted. "Don't eat all the powdered ones. Just two. I bought them so I can eat more." She was like an endless pit and would probably die from diabetes, while looking like a complete twig.

Standing outside and holding an Invisibility Rune, Nichole sat upon the front step of Nachetanya-Rei's house while looking up at the sky. The Rune in her hand could only be sustained for a couple of minutes, but it seemed that it was worth it to make one, as she heard Hiroshi jump in head-first into practically all the traps placed within the new base for the Bank.


"Well, at least he was useful for something..."


Giving off such a cold remark, Nichole looks to her left, where a small ant-like Golem approaches. It was a "Scout" -- a very well-made one at that, having a size so minute that one would need impeccable perception to detect it. From the scout, she became aware of the tacs and the water trap, but was unable to scan the bed as it would be too close to Nachetanya-Rei. Even if the scout was small, Nichole wouldn't push her luck. It'd be a pain if her source of information got squashed by accident, after all.


That being said, this information was more than enough to prevent her from falling prey to Nachetanya-Rei's traps. Never again. Never. Again.


Standing up, Nichole brushed off the back of her skirt and entered the house through the door, keeping her shoes on as she walked up to the meeting-place. Before entering the room, her Invisibility Rune made a short *tic* and snapped.


After making sure that everything was in order, she opened up the door and waited a moment to make sure no more water would come pouring down... And then entered the room unannounced.


Walking across the floor with her shoes acting as guards, she proceeded to take a single Donut, and lower her backpack onto the ground in the corner of the room as her seat.


She couldn't sit anywhere else. Nowhere else would be safe. She was sure of it.

 

[FluffyFoxChan]

"Geez Rei... your tricks get more and more childish every time we meet."


Airi had been in the room the whole time and had already eaten a lot of the doughnuts. She had arrived earlier then Hiroshi and Nichole (she was the first to arrive at the Bank other than Rei herself and slightly altered Rei's memories in order to make her forget Airi's presence). This allowed for easy doughnut snacking time. Although, she also changed Rei's memories to forget Airi fell for every single one of her traps, it was obvious that she did however because she forgot to dry herself off from the cup (Hoping she'd get away with it by resetting each trap).


"Oh... and sorry for the doughnut shortage. I'll buy more later..."


She was laid down on Rei's bed, legs bent and crossed over each other, forgetting she was also laying all over whoopee-cushions. She was looking at the ceiling for some reason, maybe because she felt bad for using her powers on her friends.


("Oh well... it's not like they'll ever know anyway") she thought.

 

[Ensig]

'... She's completely wet, just like the Scout had said, huh.'





Looking over at Airi, Nichole silently nibbled on her doughnut -- which was likely the only one she'd get to eat, seeing as there was more than one glutton in this trap-filled room. Reaching down into her backpack, Nichole took out a small slab of wood -- one that could be commonly found in art stores for ~$2.00, and slowly inscribed "Dry the user of this Rune" into it. Because it was a simple command, it was completed in moments.


Tossing the rune over to the bed, Nichole opens her mouth to speak.


"The Favor for drying yourself off with that is handing me a Soda. No throwing it."

 

[St. Boethius]

Hiroshi grabbed his injured foot and looked it over. He was bleeding a bit, but it wasn't that bad. The stab wounds didn't seem that deep so it would probably take a week or so to heal completely. Hiroshi watched as Nichols shows up. "Glad you can make it puppeteer." Hiroshi said as he reached over and took a donut. He then looked over at Airi, " When did you get here... ?" Airi always managed to confuse him. So he often returned the favor. " I don't know what your talking about we have plenty of donuts. Is your memory ok?" Hiroshi asked pointing to the donut box and suddenly a few more boxes just sorta showed up.


@Quarantine @Ensig @FluffyFoxChan

 

[Reine]

Nachetanya-Rei looked up at them, her face blank.

"Airi, you're wet. I don't remember you coming in, either. How strange." Her voice wasn't accusatory, but it was icy. Her eyes glanced over to the pile of doughnuts, now just a few left. Either way, with her telepathy, she knew exactly what the girl had done.

"I can hear you gaining wait, friend." 'Friend' was said in an odd way. She listened to the boy speak, and when she looked over she smirked.

"Down boy. From now on only do it for entertainment purposes. When you're done with the cans you can blow them up or something. Just don't ruin the carpet."

@SleepyBuddha @FluffyFoxChan

@FluffyFoxChan


Try to tone it down a bit. (They're still just kids.) Maybe take away a few seconds of memory at a time, not whole minutes.

 

[St. Boethius]

Hiroshi smiled and snapped his fingers the multiple boxes of donuts returned to being just one, " Alright then. At least I don't abuse my power. Though I have to admit I've thought about it, but if that's what the President wants I'll keep myself in check." Hiroshi leaned against the wall directly beside the bed and using his power made himself seem like he had 3 Fox tails and Fox ears.


@Quarantine @Ensig @FluffyFoxChan

 

[aaaah]

Chuck went up stairs to Rei's room. "Hey everyone! Sorry i'm late." Chuck took a donut "Also, Rei! Please don't put japes EVERYWHERE in the house please!" Chuck sat on a whoopie cushion under Rei's blanket. Chuck's face turned red but turned back to normal later.


@Quarantine @Ensig @FluffyFoxChan

 

[FluffyFoxChan]

"Favor for a favor. Yeah, thanks..."


Airi stood up and used the drying rune. She let off a few cushions as she stood up, but she didn't care to be embarrassed if they already knew she fell for it before. Grabbing a soda she walked over to Nichole and held it out to her. Soon after she heard Hiroshi making a comment about the doughnuts. She looked over to see a couple more bags.


"Huh?"


Suddenly she was shocked, then after realizing what Hiroshi did when he took the bags away she became angry. She made a fist and pounded on Hiroshi's arm.


"Next time you do that you little runt I'll..."


She went off rambling about useless threats then folded her arms, turned her head and closed her eyes. She then strangely smiled at Hiroshi before sitting on the floor.


[ @Quarantine Sorry bout that, just trying to add some entertainment is all]

 

[Ensig]

Noticing the blood coming from Hiroshi's feet, Nichole takes out a rounded slab of wood from her bag. Unlike the other slabs she had stockpiled in there, this one was pre-made with "Cure Minor Wounds" as its function. They wouldn't work on large cuts, but small cuts from things like papercuts, splinters, and the president's pranks could be cured no problem. The runes were easy to make, and could usually be made from wooden shavings after reforming them with Create Golem.


"Here. Bloodstains are gross, so this is for free."


After activating and tossing the Rune at Hiroshi's head, Nichole drinks a sip out of the soda handed to her by Airi.

 

[Reine]

Rei watched him quietly, her mouth parted slightly. "Koishii," it was a pet name she gave him, meaning dear or beloved, "Anata wa baka. You can do better than that, can't you? Give yourself muscles or something. Fox tails aren't that sexy." She played with her skirt, making eye contact with him. She watched as a boy entered her room.


"It's okay. And you know that'll never happen. I was just proposing an idea to Hiroshi that we meet up at the hospital so you would feel safer. Or we can meet up at someone else's house. Would that make you guys feel better?" She popped open a grape soda can's top and drank a bit.


"We have a new favor from a girl named Hinata Ayamato. Does anyone want to come with me to do it tomorrow? We'd have to skip school."

@SleepyBuddha @Ensig @SomeAnimeWeirdo @FluffyFoxChan (That's Alright ^^)​

 

[FluffyFoxChan]

"Yeah sure pres... nothing real exciting happening with me anyway, so I'll go. Also I think you're house is fine for these meetings or whatever..."


Airi's eyes went dark and she looked towards the ground. She had a dark past with her family, which was obvious with her scars, though she just played it off by saying it was due to her powers... She didn't want anyone coming over to her house even though most of the conflict she had with them had been settled.

 

[Ensig]

Slightly disappointed that Hiroshi didn't take the hit to the head, Nichole looks over at Airi and pauses for a moment.


'... It doesn't concern me. No butting into others' situations, right?'


Nichole looked over at the President before giving the answer of "My house is too cramped. Any other place is fine."


She then took out a small stone carving of a bird from her bag. It had been molded by Create Golem, and then inscribed with a "Record" Rune. As for why it was molded, it could be seen as something of a creative preference.


"I can use one of these to listen in on lessons, so I don't mind skipping... But what's the favor?"

 

[St. Boethius]

Hiroshi chuckled, " I could, but I don't see the point in giving myself muscles." The Fox features disappeared and were replaced by giving Hiroshi larger more defined muscles which he used to catch the rune, " Oh good, I don't have to pay this one back. " Hiroshi put the rune against the wound and watched it heal. Hiroshi looked over to the President, " There am I sexy now dear?" Hiroshi asked in japanese his voice dripping with sarcasm. He became a little more serious when a favor was mentioned, " I can no problem. I can just have an illusion take the class for me. We could try holding the meeting at my temple. It's more spacious at least." Hiroshi looked over at Airi. Her scars seemed like they weren't really the cause of her ability. Maybe he would check her dreams later


@Quarantine @Ensig @SomeAnimeWeirdo @FluffyFoxChan

 

[Reine]

Rei ignored Hiroshi and looked at Nichole.


"She asked if we could kick someone's ass." The girl said, her voice no different than usual when she used a curse. "Apparently he's been stalking her for over a year, and is getting more violent. We don't have to kill him, unless someone wants to. I have my tactical slingshot and I can buy a bunch of decorative rocks to shoot him with." The sling shot had made so many appearances in other favors, it was likely they were familiar with it.


She was in the gifted program and making incredible grades due to extra credit and academic intelligence.

@Ensig​

 

[St. Boethius]

Hiroshi thought for a moment, " I'll start by giving him horrible nightmares and warning him to stop. Then if need be we can take things up a notch. What's he look like?" Hiroshi asked for the sake of his ability. He needed to know what the stalker looked like so he could find his dreams to manipulate them.


@Quarantine

 

[FluffyFoxChan]

Airi said nothing about Nichole"s comment and instead continued to stare at the ground. She also didn't mention anything about what she'd do to skip school. She could just manipulate the teacher's memories, but that'd be too hard for her... possibly just wasting the time she'd be spending in class just trying to make it seem like she was there in the first place.


("I guess I'll just skip and get yelled at.")


Airi kept silent until the pres mentioned killing the stalker.


"I think that'd be taking it too far. And before you spout about it just being a joke... you should at least make it seem that way... but your so monotone with everything it's hard to tell!" Airi sounded sacrastic but was actually a little fed up with her monotone voice. At the same time she loved it. It defined pres perfectly.


Airi giggled a little before sighing and laying on her back. "I'm good with anything honestly, as long as it gets done."

 

[Reine]

Rei stuck her tongue out, a rare sign of emotion. "He's tall, lean, has nice abs, very attractive. Looks like an innocent prettyboy." She looked up at what Airi said, "Sorry, that's just my voice. Something has to actually happen for it to change even a little bit. Ha-ha." It was still the same, but she tried to emphasise her fake laugh as if it were real, or at least so they could tell she wasn't serious.


"I'll try to aim for below his waist." She managed a smile. While she couldn't change her voice, her expression was possible.

​

@FluffyFoxChan @SleepyBuddha

 

[St. Boethius]

Hiroshi crafted an image using what the President described. " Alright this is what I have so far. Anything I need to change?" Hiroshi asked as an illusion of the boy appeared in the middle of group. It seemed as if someone was actually there.

 

[aaaah]

Chuck got worried "Skip school? You sure we can't do this at any other time? We would all get punished if the principal found out we were skipping."
