Tammie looked up as everyone approached and waved with a smile. "Hey y'all. Name's Tammie," she introduced herself to the newcomers. "And Tomo's right, it ain't that hard to make friends here. You just gotta be cool like us," she said with a wink.

Tammie grinned brightly at Tomoko and made a peace sign. " 'm as fine as I always am, Tomo. Still can't believe I lost that fight, though." Putting a hand to her cheek, she looked at the other girl somewhat sheepishly. "Hey, you didn't actually see any of that, right..?"

Tammie puffed out her cheeks, scowling slightly. 'Big thing to witness, huh?' She supposed seeing someone electrocute themselves wasn't a common thing to see everyday, especially not the way she did it. "Hope it was a good show," she said finally, laughing. "Hey, maybe next time you'll get an opponent that's not a total newbie so you can use your full power!" Also so she could watch Tomoko crush them. Watching people get beat up was funny. Apparently. Sometimes.

Hearing something behind her, Tammie turned around and found (what she thought was) a girl playing with her hands and looking lonely. Poor thing. She had an idea. Wrapping an arm around Tomoko, she whispered "Yo, you see that girl over there? I dare you to go flirt with her. You know, make her feel welcome and all that shit." She wiggled her eyebrows rapidly, a mischievous smile plastered on her face.

"Aw c'moonnn," Tammie whined, putting a hand on her hip. "You don't have to be like 'hey baby nice ass', just tell her she's pretty! Allow me to demonstrate." Tammie flipped her hair luxuriously and looked at Tomoko with a seductive gaze. "Ah, chiquita...Ma petite cherie...You look ever so dazzling today. Even the stars cannot match your beauty," she purred, ending her sentence with a wink.

Tammie on the other hand, wore a cheeky grin, her eyes glowing as if she was relishing teasing this poor girl. "Because, if I remember right, I'm not the one spying for her girlftiend." She smiled smugly at Tomoko for a bit before her expression softened into a gentle one, though her voice still carried a hint of playfulness. "Seriously though, you gotta loosen up a little! What're you gonna do if your lady takes you on a date or something? Sit there quietly like a pretty little peach? No!" She suddenly stomped her feet and stared right into Tomoko's eyes, almost glaring at her. "You take that woman by the hand and say 'You're fine as shit. Marry me' and carry your new wife into the sunset." Cooling down after finishing her speech, Tammie stared blankly at the ground trying to remember the original topic of the conversation. Where was she going with this again? "...So! If you practice flirting with a stranger, it'll probably be way easier when that special time comes!" she chirped happily. Oh. That made sense.

...

Tammie stood frozen throughout the whole ordeal, her mouth slightly agape and her eyes unfocused. How could she even say anything about what happened? Never before had she seen so much blood in one place, much less blood from someone who literally almost got torn apart. And that boy's laughter...was he actually enjoying that? How could he? "I...I don't know..." she said shakily. She barely registered Tomoko clinging to her arm; everything felt so cold in that moment. "...L-Let's just...go to lunch, okay..?" Protectively linking her arm with Tomoko's, she began to lead her friend upstairs, doing her best to put the disturbing images out of mind.

Tammie hummed quietly, strolling over to where all the food and drinks were. Briefly scanning the selection, she picked up a candy bar. Nothing looked particularly appetizing at the moment, but the least she could do was not starve herself. Glancing around the cafeteria, she spotted the 'girl' from earlier sitting by herself. Not that she blamed her. It was rather difficult to talk about anything after seeing that last fight. "I'm gonna go sit over there," she said pointing to the mostly unoccupied table. "You can come if you want." She then delicately, though reluctantly, slid her arm out from Tomoko's, pausing momentarily as if to make sure the poor girl wouldn't shatter or anything. She really should offer her a hug, but she wasn't good at those. Once she was satisfied that her friend wouldn't fall apart, she walked over to the aforementioned table and offered Ihshi a light smile. "Heya. Mind if I sit here?"

Tammie's eyes widened in surprise. She didn't expect to be rejected-- everyone had been so nice all day, after all. She opened her mouth to ask why, but then she heard the stranger's soft voice, almost as if he were about to cry, and noticed he was strangling his food. "Woah woah, are you okay?! Look, I know everyone's still keyed up about the fight, but everything's okay now. You don't have to be afraid." She made another attempt at a reassuring smile, clearly not getting the hint.

Tammie could only stand there in total confusion when the soft spoken stranger suddenly started yelling. She had reached out to tell the boy to calm down, but just as quickly as it started, his outburst ended and he ran off. "Wait..!" she called out. He was gone.

'What the fuck was that..?' Letting out a heavy sigh, Tammie stared at the door Ihshi left through, feeling completely lost. 'Is everyone going to be like this for the rest of the day?' she thought exasperated. It felt like her optimism was only going to cause problems from here on out. Her trance was only interrupted by Tomoko tightening her grip on her arm, making her wince slightly. Her nails were starting to dig into her skin. But she paid that no mind upon seeing the frightened look on her face. "H..Hey Tomo, you okay?" she began, not really sure how to approach the situation.

Frowning, Tammie examined the trembling girl in front of her with something of a look of sympathy in her eyes. "How can you seriously tell me that..?" She supposed Tomoko was trying to stay strong-- heck, Tammie herself was trying her hardest to forget everything that happened recently, leaving only the happy memories. But she guessed it was harder for some people to do that than others. Finally, not being able to bear the sight any longer, she silently pulled Tomoko into a hug.

"No problem," Tammie murmured, holding Tomoko for a few more seconds. Once she heard the bell ring, she quickly let go and coughed awkwardly. Suddenly, any semblance of tenderness left her face and she was back to her goofy old self again. "Anyway, shall we get to class?" she chirped. Without waiting for an answer, she grabbed Tomoko's hand and dragged her down the hallway.

"Um...Probably? Tammie answered without looking behind her. That was a lie. She thought she'd be able to find the classroom on her own, but in hindsight it probably would've been better to use a map. She led Tomoko down an impossible number of hallways since the bell rang, none of them containing the class they were looking for. Stopping in front of a random door, she let go of Tomoko's hand and grabbed the knob. "Alright Tomo. If this isn't the right room, you have my permission to throw me off the roof. Now...what's behind door number 28?!" Changing her mind at the last minute, Tammie kicked the door open and poked her head inside. "HEY, IS THIS HISTORY?" she screeched.

Tammie pouted as someone said they were in math class. "Really? Dammit. Oh well. Falling from a rooftop is a fast way to die anyhow." She was about to turn back into the hallway, when she heard the teacher. "Really?!" she squeaked again. "Wow, thanks Teach! I wish our strategy teacher was as cool as you!" She smiled broadly at the woman before locking eyes with Riley. Puffing out her cheeks in mock anger, she stomped straight to his desk and leaned on it. "You lied to me. You know what happens to liars?"

Tammie slowly backed over to a seat next to Tomoko, giving Riley the 'I'm watching you' look. Sitting down with a huff, she examined her crimson red ring. So that was why she got lighting powers? She supposed her personality could be pretty...electrifying at times.

Tammie watched the scene in front of her, amusement dancing in her eyes. "Hey, why don't you guys get a room? Like, all four of you together. It'll probably be much better." Unable to hold back a snort, she laughed into her hands. When did this become a kissing class?

Tammie yawned and stretched in her seat. "Huh? Class is over already?" She glanced lazily at the textbook on her desk. Reading homework? She'll do that in the morning. Before class, of course. Blinking at Tomoko and Riley, she grinned. "Yeah, I guess she isn't a stickler or an emotionless dork like the other ones. Hey, you guys gonna check out any clubs? I think I wanna try my hand at science." Not for educational purposes though. One could already see the gears turning in her head as she thought about how many chemical reactions she could set off with her electricity. For everyone's sake, there'd better not be any explosives readily available.

"Alrighty! To the second floor!" Throwing her textbook into her bag, she skipped outside next to Tomoko. She seemed to gain a new burst of energy as she hopped all the way upstairs, not stopping even when she almost fell backwards. Her behavior was the most childlike it had been all day. Once they reached the club area, she immediately started peeking into classrooms, almost shaking with excitement. "Do you think the science club has like explosives or something? Not that I would use them to blow up anything, but do you think they'll let us like, like– bwooooshhsh?" She made a big gesture with her hands as she imitated the sound of a mushroom cloud. If her eyes could twinkle any brighter, they'd mirror the sun. Science was clearly her favorite subject.

Tammie nodded excitedly, grinning from ear to ear. "It may not look like it, but I'm a real science whiz!" Meaning she got an A in chemistry. Once. That had to count for something though. "You know, you look like you could be a scientist too," she said, looking over Tomoko's figure. "Or a weather reporter. Why don't cha join the science club when ya have some time?" When she finally came across the right classroom, Tammie paused dramatically, wanting to build up the tension. She pushed the door open painfully slowly as if she would be blinded by its contents. She made a loud gasp as she got the thing open all the way...only to be greeted by an empty room. "What? Where are all the nerds at?"

"I'm positive!" Tammie whined, narrowing her eyes as she looked around. She shook her head. "They must be hiding. Introverts are impossible like that." She snuck around the room like she was on a mission, peeking under tables and crawling on the floor, looking for any sign of life. After a bit of scouting she came across what seemed to be a metal lab table. On top was a piece of torn notebook paper that read (in nearly unintelligible handwriting) 'Sign-ups'. Tammie stared at the sheet blankly. "Is this what you guys do?" she frowned at Tomoko, her tone accusatory as if this was somehow her fault. "I hope the club leader isn't a social recluse."

Suddenly, as if right on cue, a sharp metalic bang resounded throughout the room. Tammie's eyes snapped up to look for the source of the noise and landed on a supply closet in the corner of the room. She glanced at Tomoko with an odd smile. "Woah. Think there's a person in there?" she joked. The banging continued, seemingly louder after she said this. That would be the most logical assumption.
