Air Groove sighed as she turned down the hallway towards the student council room on this floor. Today was supposed to be the biweekly student council meeting. It was a time where the people in charge were supposed to be doing in charge things. Much adult things with that matter. However, as she made her way towards the two big doors on the side, she held many pieces of paper, keeping them exactly close to her chest. She sighed again, thinking about the contents of the paper as she had been meaning to talk with Symboli Rudolf about it for that matter.
These contents were of about Narita Brian in general. For the past several meetings inside of that room, she hadn't seen her at all lest she be outside doing some patrolling stuff. Still, whatever was inside of this paper disgusted her as she reached to open the door with the other hand as she approached it. Brian should be focusing on student council activities. She shouldn't be doing whatever was on the paper itself. She blinked, expecting to only see Symboli Rudolf on her chair, perhaps texting to another person. Her jaw dropped as she noticed what was inside of the room.
"Ah," Symboli Rudolf said with a smile, having her phone in front of her, "You're a bit early for the meeting."
As she moved inside of the room, she could see Rudolf on her chair doing what she usually does on her spare time. However, her eyes quickly glanced over to the figure towering over her, watching the same thing on her phone as well. She took a quick glance, having a moment of genuine delight as she locked her eyes on that face. Narita Brian finally showed up to a meeting for once.
Narita Brian turned her attention away from the screen and made a small wave, "Hi, Air Groove."
"You- You actually showed up," Air Groove muttered, having her hand fall onto the student council desk.
She nodded, "I'm finally able to-"
Instantly, she slammed the papers out in front of Narita Brian, making Symboli Rudolf react with surprise. Her eyes twitched as she tried to smile at Brian who seemed to be a bit confused and fearful of her.
Air Groove sighed, "Could you explain to me what this is?"
They all took blank stares at the paper right in front of them.
The paper was of some crude drawing of a gray werewolf within the middle of the woods at midnight. This werewolf had blue jeans and a black shirt. However, they were tearing it up apart as they yelled straight into the sky. Surrounding the werewolf was the layout of the social media platform Umatter with a similar profile picture accompanying the message: I AM ABOUT TO TURN INTO AN ALPHA! The username accompanying this was hungry_wolf, responding to another message by amazoness_lapis. Air Groove put two fingers up towards her forehead.
"Are you referring to an umatter post?" Brian asked.
"Yeah," Rudolf said, taking a deep breath, "You slammed that on this desk for No Reason," she took a chuckle.
Air Groove looked at her in confusion, "What do you mean by-," before snapping her thoughts away and pointing back at Narita Brian with a sigh, "Yes I'm referring to an umatter post. It's quite obvious that you posted something like this."
"Okay?" Narita Brian shrugged, "So what if I posted it? It's not a big deal."
"Not a big deal? You've been missing important student council meetings!" Air Groove put her hands on her own face, "Besides, what even is this?"
"I'm intrigued," Rudolf put her thumb on her chin, "What is this?"
Brian's face somewhat dropped after seeing the two of them wondering what this exact thing was. Air Groove's first view upon glancing at the post on her Umatter account was also in that face. Narita Brian sighed, taking out the beanstalk in her mouth for a second and putting it back on her in a more sideways position. She took a deep breath before putting her hand on the image.
"Fine. I admit, this is my doing," Brian said with a composed face, "That's my fursona."
A long silence grew between all three of them as Symboli Rudolf and Air Groove tried to comprehend what a fursona was. Rudolf made a curious but intrigued smile, staring at the drawing more closely.
"Your what?" Rudolf said out of curiosity.
"Her name is Butch. She's my fursona."
"What in Goddesses name is a fursona?" Air Groove said, glaring at her with full effect.
Brian made a small blush as soon as she kept pressing on about what her thing was. She took another deep breath and hid her obviously flustered face as she moved her beanstalk around her mouth. Air Groove wasn't going to give up until she found the reason why she would do something like this on a student council meeting day.
"I roleplay as a buff muscular wolf girl on Umatter," Brian made a forced smile.
"You act like a wolf on the internet?" Rudolf said, pointing at the crude drawing, "To be fair, you are kind of a lone wolf."
"Butch is a werewolf! Yes! Whatever!" Brian stammered, rolling her beanstalk around. She quickly composed herself again, taking a deep breath, "I just like to feel and be cute."
"You just like to be cute?" Air Groove yelled, examining the art in more detail.
Her eyes glared at Air Groove with those being similar to when she was competing for her own Triple Crown, "Yes!"
"Cute!"
"Yes, Air Groove!"
"Do you think I didn't notice the fat bulge in her pants!"
Rudolf's face, once with intrigue, suddenly dropped down as soon as she saw whatever was happening on the crotch area with her pants. It was something that Air Groove didn't want to touch upon because of how strange it was. No matter what story she heard from unique love stories to borderline insanity, this took the cake for how confused she felt over a singular person in her life. Narita Brian's face was covered with a bright red flush.
"Um…" Narita Brian said, her lips were quavering, "Uwu?"
Air Groove put her hand to her face again, having her other hand move towards the paper itself as she took a big and long sigh. Narita Brian really didn't have a good excuse for missing most if not all of the student council meetings recently. Symboli Rudolf stared at Brian with such confusion that, for the first time in her life, she did not know what to do. Suddenly, Air Groove's headache turned away, moving her hand towards her hips again.
"It's okay, Narita Brian," Air Groove said, "Just please show up to more student council meetings."
"Okay, Air Groove," Brian took several deep breaths as she stared more at the drawing than her herself.
"Besides. I have an Umatter fursona too."
"Oh okay."
There was a long pause as both Narita Brian and Symboli Rudolf stared at Air Groove without any sort of indifference against her. She said in a pretty calm manner that the other two didn't really understand if it sounded strange. However, as they took simple breaths that passed the time, both of their eyes widened as they stared at each other with confusion. Air Groove smiled, having her fingers under Narita Brian's printed fursona.
"What."
"I must be a bubble gum fellow but what did you just say?"
"I said," Air Groove said with a stern voice, "I have an Umatter fursona too."
Air Groove flipped over the paper to reveal another fursona. This time, instead of a gray werewolf, it was of a well ornate drawing of a blue and white dragon under the same social media platform. They wore clothes that fit an empress's vibe, with beautiful royal dresses with curves and shapes alike. Accompanying it was the username empress_road with a message that said: How was everyone's day under the sun? Rudolf was left speechless.
"You- You have a furry account too?" Narita Brian muttered out, "And it's Empress Road?"
"Indeed," Air Groove smirked, "I am the well popular Empress Road."
"Ah- Um-" Brian stammered, "Would you like to roleplay with me sometime soon?"
"I would be happy to roleplay with you. But it's a disgrace that you've skipped countless of student council meetings. Please attend them."
"Yes! I will!" Brian said with the most emotion Air Groove has seen in her entire life.
Symboli Rudolf could only stare at the two of them with confusion inside of her eyes. Nevermind making meaningless puns that would annoy the two of them for absolutely no reason, she was instead faced with two Umatter users that have fursonas and use them for roleplay. It was something that she never accounted for when picking who would be helping her throughout Tracen Academy. She took several deep breaths, trying to catch whatever she had left behind when they started talking about fursonas before finally composing herself.
"May the student council president join in too?"
Narita Brian and Air Groove stared at Rudolf and nodded, "Yes, you may."
