@aneramyre: Watching to see how characters interact is the fun part especially considering how crazy these characters can get. And they'll only get crazier.

Been a while. Were back with our favorite akb fluffy art school gays. I have a lot of crazy characters planned for the next installments. A ton of writers block had to amount to something right?
I hope you guys enjoy this! Comments and Thank you's are greatly appreciated! Don't be shy!
58. Ghost Story (WMatsui)
Much like any other night, Jurina was in bed getting her recommended eight hours of sleep.
Until she was awoken by her ringtone.
At 2am.
Jurina, barely anything more than a pile of hair and fluffy pajamas on her mattress groggily lifted her head to check her phone.
It was Rena ringing her. At 2am, it had to be important… right?
She tapped the screen to accept the call.
She actually missed the button a few times in her dazed state, but managed to hit it on her fourth try.
"Rena?"
"Hey! Is it possible for you to come to the practice rooms in the music building? I need to show you something interesting."
"Couldn't you just… i don't know… take a picture of it and show it to me at a reasonable time? Instead of calling…" Jurina glanced at the time on her phone, "at 2 in the friggin morning?"
"I promise it will all be worth it! It's super cool!"
"..."
"..."
Jurina's head laid back onto the pillow, her hand was losing grip on the phone as she began to drift off to sleep once more.
"Jurina?! Are you still there?"
She jolted awake again, "Huh? What's going on?"
"Okay look Jurina... The lights turned off in the building and I'm super scared. Can you please come get me?!"
"Fine… just gimme a minute."
---
Music building certainly was dark. Jurina illuminated the halls by shining a light from her phone.
Eventually she turned the corner and ran into Rena which admittedly kinda scared the shit outta her.
"Hey Jurina! I'm glad you came, I don't do well with dark places."
"Afraid somethings gonna jump out at you?"
"Something like that. My mom was a Majijo student. She said she'd turn out the lights on someone before beating them up all while laughing uncontrollably. It's just bad instincts I guess."
"Majijo?" Jurina stopped, "I hear those girls do nothing but beat the hell out of each other."
"And it's all true. My mom was a queen and everything. Good thing this school is nothing like that."
Jurina grinned, "you sure about that?"
"I mean nothing bad happens here. Other than your lariats really."
"Ever hear about the angry spirit that wanders these halls?"
"N-no." Rena stuttered.
"Story goes that there was this girl who studied hard to be the best pianist in the school. Spent hours practicing a day to hone her gifted hands, but the professor never got along with her and failed her on every performance. Girl got fed up being punished for nothing.
So one day…"
'What h-happened?" Rena gasped.
"When all the students left the class, she pulled out a pocket knife and stabbed the professor to death before taking her own life."
Rena was visibly shaken and clinging to Jurina's arm.
"Worst part is… RENA SHE'S RIGHT BEHIND US!"
And Rena ran screaming.
After a few seconds, Jurina spoke into the darkness.
"Uh… Rena I just made that up."
Jurina could hear quick footsteps getting increasingly louder before getting tackled to the floor. The phone light flipping on its back leaving the halls in darkness.
Rena repeatedly punched Jurina's arm "JURINA." *punch* "YOU CAN'T" *punch* "JUST STAY STUFF LIKE THAT!" *punch*
Rena mercilessly clubbed Jurina in the dark.
Her Majijo alumni mother would be proud.
59. The Perfect Shot (YuiParu)
A/N: This was gonna be a Paruru birthday special, but you can only write so many of those before they start to get dull. Its a shame too considering Paruru is my favorite.
It might have been hours. The coffee went cold, and the cake was probably unpleasantly warm.
However taking the perfect picture required that kind of patience, even if it was just a simple shot of cafe food.
"All these shots are boring, how am I gonna win that contest?" Paruru grimaced at her photo set. Rino and Rie's contest still hadn't found a winner in the months the competition was active. She was a regular at the Cafe, so winning that discount would only be good for her wallet because the drinks and pastries really add up over time.
Yui and Bisu entered her dorm, "Hey Paru, what are you-"
"Shut up for a sec." Paruru remained laser focused through the lens of her camera. "Can't miss this shot."
The cat walked into the frame of the photo, curiously sniffing at the cake.
"Hey Bisu, get back here! You're gonna mess up the shot!"
"Wait Yui, I think Bisu's onto something."
Yui tilted her head as she watched her girlfriend work.
"Alright Bisu, take one step forward."
"Meow?" Bisu cautiously stepped forth.
"Hmm…" The photographer carefully measured the shot, "come forward a little more."
"Mrrow."
"Alright Bisu maybe take one teeny tiny step forward."
Yui smiled at Paruru's strange interaction with her cat. They get along so well. Like… her girlfriend is straight up talking to a cat right now.
Then again, Yui had open conversations with Bisu regularly.
"No! Bisu! Too far!"
"Meow?" Bisu backed up slightly.
"Perfect!" Paru clicked the camera, and the cat scurried off once his job was complete.
This had to be the perfect shot, Paru had been at it for hours and honestly… she's getting really hungry.
She took a look at the photo she shot and hummed, "what do you think Yui?"
"Looks good to me! You're gonna enter the contest with that?"
"With a little bit of photo editing, yes."
Paruru's stomach began to growl after the hours of prioritizing the picture, but luckily she had a cake right in front of her. She sliced into it with her fork and took a heaping mouthful.
"I bought this slice of cake six hours ago."
"Is it still good?"
"Nope." Paruru then proceeded to throw the rest of it away.
60. The Cafe Contest: Part 6 (RinoRie)
A/N: The Paruru double feature baby!
"The composition, natural complementary colors, the cat's pretty cute too." Rino rubbed her chin as she scanned the entry with her eyes.
"You talking to yourself again Sasshi?" Rie walked into the room and paused as she noticed her wife staring at the piece, "oh, is that for the contest?"
"Yeah, sent in by Shimazaki Haruka."
"Who?"
"Uhh, you might know her as Paruru?"
"Oh, the salty girl." Rie stepped beside her partner and observed the entry, "is this a photograph? I was really hoping for some real art." She said with a furrow of her brow.
"A well shot photo IS real art. It's way harder than taking a selfie, and you already delete half of the ones you take."
"Ouch. Point taken."
The entry featured a slice of cake and a cup of coffee angled and shot to make the decadent items appear even more delectable. A red plate complimented the green matcha icing of the pastry, each particle of light doing its job to make the image pop. In the background, Bisu made his appearance giving a little bit of character to what would be 'just a picture of food.'
"You know what Sasshi?" Rie grabbed the picture and imagined it on the wall, "I think we got a winner."
"You think so?"
"Think about it, this picture is gonna attract customers to our menu. Look how amazing that cake looks, people are gonna be throwing money at the display!" Rie spoke with dollar signs in her eyes.
"Now that you mention it, it gave me cravings for our own menu items." Rino said with a hand over her stomach.
"Honestly, I'm getting pretty hungry looking at it too."
"Maybe you're right Rie. I think this is the one, we can finally wrap this contest up."
"I feel like celebrating. Maybe a special dinner for us? What are you in the mood for?"
Rino and Rie stared at Paruru's entry, and instinctively their mouths began to water.
"Honestly, a Matcha cake sounds really good right now."
"Thank goodness, I was thinking the same thing."
61. Nezumi Radio Broadcast 2 (Watanabe Mayu)
It's Tuesday and you know what that means!
It's time for your very own Cyborg Idol to start your day off right!
Welcome to Nezumi Radio!!! Yaaaaaayyyyy!
Okay, so no paid advertising this time around but, I wanna talk about something I've been seeing recently.
Has anyone noticed the raccoons on campus?
Am I crazy?
Are these someone's pets?
It's always the same raccoons too. You're probably asking, 'how do you know they're the same raccoons Nezumi?'
I know because one member of that raccoon squad is absolutely massive. I mean… freakishly huge.
I feel like I'm not coming through as to how big this raccoon is. We're talking like… if I wasn't afraid of it, I could ride it like a horse.
What does it even eat?! Steroids?!
It was also then I realized raccoon paws are super similar to human hands - I swear those things have thumbs. THUMBS!
I saw one of em' pick up an apple. Is that not scary to anyone?!
I also saw a possum hanging out with them, and I didn't even know we had possums in Japan.
Oh my God. They developed inter-species communication.
I need to sit down… wait, i'm already sitting.
I need to lay down.
But I'll lay down later! We still have more Nezumi Radio to go! Onto some campus announcements!
Later tonight at the theater be sure to catch the Magnificent Chori's Magic Show of Wonder! Followed by the Kimoto Kanon puppet show!
Continuing on...
