"Actually, yeah." You say. "Knowing some names around here would be really useful, fed up with introducing myself a hundred times."
Mima smiles at you. "Good. I might not look like much," oh how wrong she is, you think, as she puffs up with pride. "But I'm a good people-watcher, come on." She tugs on your arm and you follow her past the benches.
"What about your friends?" You ask.
"Oh." Mima says. "The blond one is Marisa, the other one is called Rika. They're sort of ... exhausting." She laughs. "But they're fun."
You swivel around to glance at Marisa and Rika. The former winks at you and makes an obscene gesture at Mima's back, but without malice. You don't know if you should blush or laugh.

Mima and you wander through the school grounds and she points people out, trying not to be too obvious, talking to you in a low voice.

"That's Alice, she's a bit of a loner." You peer over at the blond girl sitting alone in the sun with some sewing.

"Don't tell Aya too much about yourself or she'll put it in the school newspaper." Mima warns you.
"She's ... certainly energetic." You mutter, watching the skinny, light-looking girl bouncing on the balls of her feet and waving a camera about. "Who's that she's trying to photograph?"
"That's Suika."
"She seems ..."
"Incoherent?" Mima offers
"Yes." You agree
"She's often like that, but she's friendly, you'll like her, just don't let her land a punch." Mima says.
"But she's tiny."
"Don't let that fool you. Looks are deceiving." Mima laughs as Suika grumbles something and Aya finally gets a snap of her face.

"Are they sisters?" You ask.
"Who?"
"The little ones over-"
"Ah! Don't point at them!" Mima waves your hand down.
"Wh-"
"You don't want the Scarlets taking any interest in you." Mima says, frowning.
"Bu-"
"No buts. They'll eat you alive."
"What, literally?"
Mima shrugs. "Who knows? Maybe."

==

"Oh. That's Sanae." Mima waves. "Hey Sanae!"
"She didn't hear you."
"Pity. She's nice."
"Just nice?"
Mima looks up at you. "Why? You like what you see?" She smirks.
You bluster for a moment. "No, not like that." Okay, a little. Only saw that girl at a distance though.

==

"Hi Wriggle."
"Oh!" It's the nervous tomboy from before. "Hi Mima!" She stammers, steadfastly refusing to meet your eyes.
"Met the new guy yet?"
"N-n-n-no." Wriggle says, finally turning to you with a fixed, frozen smile full of nerves.
"I won't bite." You say after introducing yourself, trying to lighten her up.
"Oh." Wriggle says in a small voice. Mima laughs, but tries to stifle it.
As you head away you spot Cirno running up to Wriggle, chattering and pointing excitedly at you. Looks like you made at least one good impression this morning.

"Is that a textbook she's reading?" You ask.
"Oh, Akyu? Probably."
"She's ... "
"Hey Akyu!" Mima calls over. "What are you reading today?"
The small girl glances up at you and Mima, eyes peering over the top of her book. She turns the volume on its side so you can see the title.
"Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire." You read. "Shit, isn't that a bit-"
"She's cleverer than either of us will ever be. She was born clever, relax."

==

"That's Kaguya. She's distant royalty or something."
"She doesn't look it." You say, instantly regretting the words. Kaguya doesn't look bad, just tired. Mima laughs.
"She's sort of er, obsessive?"
You nod, watching Kaguya's expression of concentration as she stabs at the screen of a nintendo DS.

==

"Morning Hina." Mima says.
"A most wonderful morning it is to you too Mima." The girl in front of you says. "And who is this gentleman?" She looks at you, a prim smile on her face.
"Er ... pleased to meet you." You say, unable to stop yourself slipping into polite speech for some reason.
"The pleasure is all mine." She says, giving a little bow of her head. "But I'm afraid I'm needed elsewhere at the moment. I hope I have time to speak to you again, good bye." She drifts past you on short, measured steps. You stare after her for a moment. Mima pokes you and laughs.
"Sorry." You say.
"Nah, she has that effect on everyone."

==

A little while later you and Mima are almost back where you started. You've forgotten more names than you remember, but it feels like you've got some kind of handle on this place now.
"Well, I hope I've done my job to satisfaction." Mima says in mock-polite, finally letting go of your arm and stepping away from you, putting her hands on her hips and smirking. "Now, I'm hungry and I'm gonna go find my friends, you coming?"

[ ] Sure, go with Mima and meet her friends.
[ ] Excuse yourself, go try striking up a conversation with someone you just met.
[ ] Excuse yourself, see if you can go find Reimu again.
[ ] Excuse yourself, go looking for Satori.
