"In that case. Maybe Lucina and Neil should handle the one for the tech branch since it is their area of expertise. For the magic show, definitely Anna, Felix, Danny, and Jeremy. Anna can definitely help on stage, and then Jeremy and Danny would be good for lights and stuff. If the magician needs something like backgrounds then Will and Alice would be best for that as well. Zane for fashion in the magic show. I'm sorry but I don't know Sophie's branch, and I'm not sure how cooking would play in though Nate would make a great assistant," Zima said thoughtfully before looking over at Jordan. "Also I can't help out really unless you absolutely need me. I'm working on a big project right now," she said apologetically, though she did feel confident that she wasn't needed.

Felix had been sitting in the club room, trying to write the lyrics to a melody he had just learned. He had his Acoustic guitar with him today instead of his electric, the wooden instrument strapped over his shoulder as he wrote in a small notepad.

"On the road tonight.... no no, that sounds dumb," he said quietly to himself, scribbling over the line he had just wrote. His attention was drawn away from his writing when Jordan came into the room, announcing that the group actually had some requests today.

"Ooh, a magic show? Sounds interesting," Felix said, thinking about what kind of help a magician could need. "He'd better not need an assistant. Last time I signed up for that the guy tried to saw me in half. That didn't end well..." Felix chuckled as he remembered that particular fiasco during middle school. "Good times..."

"Fashion." Sophie answered Zima's question. "And shouldn't we, you know, see what the guy wants before we decide who's going where?" She asked, bringing up a good point.

Nathan meanwhile had been peering over Felix's shoulder as he wrote, at least until Jordan had given them their assignment and the other boy had stopped to pay attention to their latest assignment. He'd mull over a possible replacement line for the one Felix had crossed out, but at the moment he was more curious about the boy's acoustic guitar. He had noticed the electric one he had brought yesterday, which had piqued his interest. It appeared that like himself, Felix was a serious musician. The only question that was left was if he was any good. Hopefully he was... because if that was the case... Nathan grinned at the thought of finally having someone in the club that he could bounce ideas off of. He wasn't paying attention to Zima so he didn't even hear the fact that he hadn't really been given an assignment.

"Earth to Nathan." Sophie muttered under her breath.

"What?" He asked, not sure why his sister was trying to get his attention.

"We have requests." Sophie replied. "Wait, why am I the one explaining this to you? You're the one who's been here before."

"Because you're my lovely intelligent sister." Nathan quipped, trying to butter her up.

"You are simply incorrigible you know that." It didn't work. It never did.

"A magic show you say?" Erika asked, her body currently resting on the couch. "Hm, it's been a while since our last request." She slightly smiled at this and looked around the room. "Ready when you are."

Meanwhile, Zane had finished putting up his small chart on the wall, the name of each member neatly printed in different columns. Below this was a large blank space per name in which he would either place a gold star sticker on or write an 'x'. With a content sigh, he glanced around the room and quickly placed a sticker below Jordan's name. As he continued to look, his smile fell to a frown as soon a he saw Felix. Zane scribbled what appeared to look like an askew 'x' below his name and resumed his scanning of the room.

"Magic shows are awesome." He muttered. "I'll be glad to help..." With these words, his eyes eventually fell on Erika's clothing. She was currently wearing a black oversized sweatshirt with her brother's landscaping company logo on it. Below this were ripped jeans and beige boots. He gasped. "Erika! What is that?!" Zane ran over to her and shot an accusing finger in her direction.

"It's called a face."

"No! I mean your outfit! It's...it's..." Zane struggled to get the words out.

"Comfortable? None of your business...?" She began to reply to him.

"Ugly." He spit out with pure disgust. Erika rolled her eyes at this. She cut him off saying, "Anyway Jordan, about that request?"

Zane didn't speak to her after that and simply began to look at the other member's clothing.

"Well if we think about a magic show, then it's apparent in what ways someone can help and we have two requests. Most of us can't do one, so it's apparent that the rest will be doing the magic show. Even we honestly don't need everyone there. We should have someone here to accept requests, just in case someone comes by with one," Zima explained.

"...So should Neil and I go over to the Machine one?" Lucina asked confused, today wearing something that looked like Fire Emblem style clothing. Specifically Sacaen Plain wear. However her goggles were still on her forehead.

Sophie shrugged. It seemed short sighted to start giving people assignments before they even knew what was needed from them as pertaining to the magic show. But she also realized that not everyone thought three, four, five moves ahead. It was also not something that was easily explained, so there was no point in pushing it. "Fair enough, I'm new here. Just learning the ropes." She pointed out sweetly.

"I could stay here just in case." Nathan said after a moment. "I mean it doesn't sound like I'm really needed over there at the show." He added after a few moments. "And I mean it seems as if Erika isn't either." Now his motivations for suggesting staying back were clear.

"Easy there Romeo." Sophie muttered under her breath, clearly amused by Nate's rather blunt suggestion.

Felix chuckled at Zane's fashion chart, noticing that he had earned himself an X under his name. To be fair though, a white hoodie, loose jeans, and a Dream Theater T-shirt probably didn't count as upper-class dress anyways.

"So, shouldn't we go see what this magician guy wants before we start assigning roles?" Felix suggested. Maybe it was a really simple request for one or two people. "Although I'd love to help out with that one. Magic shows are fun." Felix then turned his attention back to his notebook, listening to the others as he resumed his failing search for good lyrics.

"Highway lights so bright... nah, that's just weird..."

Neil sat on the couch, he was wearing black skinny jeans, a deep brown leather jacket over a white v-neck and light brown skinny jeans. He casually sat on the couch, reading a car magazine until he perked up after hearing the requests. "I agree that we should wait until what the magician's request entails before deciding who will be going on that one." Neil had two ulterior motives for this. One, was he was positive that the Tech and Science request would probably only need one of the two people from the tech branch, considering both were of high quality. Second, he wanted to be on the same request as someone else.

Erika couldn't help but warmly smile at Nathan's response. While it was true she felt kind of hurt about not being mentioned, it was more than likely some sort of oversight. At least, she hoped it was an oversight. "Nathan, it's fine. We'll just wait and see what actually happens. Not like this hasn't happened before." She muttered the last sentence, remembering the events from the movie request. While she was one of the actors, she was originally given no specific job preparing for the movie due to the fact all she did was cook. And according to the majority of her Christmas presents, that's all she's good for. Cooking.

A bit more annoyed than before, Erika gloomily added, "We should see what Jordan says."

Zane continued his scan of the room and wordlessly added an 'x' under Lucina, Zima and Neil's columns. He placed a gold sticker under Sophie's column and he had yet to determine what his thoughts about Nathan's outfit was.

Madison was walking around the school with not much to do, she didn't join the Assist Club at the present moment but that was in the past, the past being yesterday. "It's like that dream I had where it was The year is 1965, and Ryan Gosling and I were undercover detectives on the hot rod circuit and it was in color." Madison shook her head and she went back to Earth.

Madison wasn't walking alone though, she was walking with Steve who decided to keep her company after his classes. "So you didn't join the Assist Club? How come?" He was wearing a grey t-shirt with a crew neckline and short sleeves along with dark blue bootcut denim jeans with black lace shoes while flicking his blonde hair. "I barely even know you but they are a great club that help students around, so what happened?"

Madison who was wearing a cream knit sweater with a crew neckline, long, dolman sleeves, ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hemline. She was wearing it along with her green scarf, dark blue jeans and black boots. "I think I might have burned a few bridges," She smiled peering over Steve. "I had a little argument with two people and I guess it didn't go well with the club, so I just decided not to join. They have too many people I don't think they someone like me." She added as she looked a little defeated.

"Are you sure about that? I'm sure they will welcome you with their arms wide or whatever they call it when people accept people after mistakes." Steve smiled, "Just go back and talk to them, sort out your differences."

Madison shook her head, "I don't know if I should impose. I don't know especially since I insulted their own and I just don't fit in." She sighed looking at her phone with a wallpaper of her skating on ice.

"I know Jordan a little and I can tell you that he'll accept you even if you done something wrong but maybe you shouldn't worry about it and focus on something else instead. I wouldn't say the chess club that's for sure especially after a student got stabbed by a bishop. That poor Chinese kid never stood a chance." Steve added as they continued to walk to get something to eat. "I'm sure they need some qualities that you have."

Madison sighed "They have everything covered from athletics to cognitive thinking, it's really hard to break in with your own set skills but I guess they don't need me, I don't need them." Her attitude became a lot more positive. "They can deal with their own drama." She became perkier and perkier by the second like something just flew in and hit in right in the face.

Steve asked as they sat down "I'm sure they will, so other than tripping over and being in the sports branch, what else do you do?" wanting to know more about Madison since she was the new girl, he thought that he could at least find out what makes her tick.

Madison bit her lip and tried to think of a way to sell herself as at least someone exciting. "Umm I'm from Denver but born in Phoenix and then moved here. I was pretty popular there in Denver until we moved because my dad got a job offer here and I dance, read some books on various things, I play a lot of winter sports, I love figure skating and I like fashion, that was basically it and now I'm here and unpopular not that I care but it's different." She smiled as a few girls appeared right behind the copper red hair female teen and the blond male.

"Hiii Steve, who's your friend?" One of the girls with a high thick accent of the area, greeted the blond male.

He responded with a "Hi...Oh that's Madison Hart, she's knew from Denver. Madison, this is my good friend Dana and her friends Laura, Chloe and Amanda and I better go meet the guys for a few things, see you Madison and see you girls." Steve got up and walked towards Dana. He whispered "Please take care of her, she's a bit unsure since she is new."

"You know I will, past is past."

He gave her a thumbs up and off he went leaving Madison alone with three girls she never met. "So I heard you were going to join that Assist Club but decided against it. You made the smart move, Maddy? Can we call you that?" The girl by the name of Chloe started to talk to the new girl.

"Sure?"

"Alright so anyway they are a bit up themselves. Some of them are, you know I heard that in the men's bathroom that the robot guy snorts coke. My ex told me that but these are rumors but I wouldn't put it past him. That rich kid Nathan or something is like an alcoholic as well or so I heard. These club members have dark lives, very dark lives but these are rumors, so we can only guess." Chloe rambled on and on.

"Ah huh...well don't worry I don't think they are true. Why would a gay robot snort coke or get high in a bathroom...oh I just figured out the answer." Madison realized what she said and then laughed. It looked like she was going to make it after all like Mary Tyler Moore.

"Yeah, Sophie's right Zima," Jordan pointed out after listening to the whole group speak, though he was arguebly curious about the project that Zima said she was working on, but figured he could ask that later. "Anyways, I do agree that Neil and Lucina should go together for the tech request, we can never be too sure," with that he stood up from his seat. "Anyways umm...."

He started to look around the room in thought before nodding his head. "Okay, Anna, Sophie, Zane and Jeremy, you guys are coming with me," he said before looking at Felix, Will and Nathan. "The two of you stay on stand by, we don't know if the guy might want some music to go with his show, I'll text you if there's anything else,' he explained, a more serious and authoritative air surrounding him as he spoke. He couldn't say that he felt completely into his leader role, but he definetily felt more confident than before. "The rest of you can stay here in case we get any other requests during the day."

"Actually if you guys are going to be working," Dia raised his hand from where he was sitting. "Maybe Erika, Nate and I could make some snacks too, or just the two of them."

"I'll think about that Dia," Jordan replied while nodding his head. "Anyways, Neil and Lucina, you guys head to the Testin lab in the Tech and Science branch, the others I mentioned will come with me to the Eastern Fountain."

"Sounds fine to me" Jeremy added. "Magic sounds fun to me...." He actually didn't know himself if he was saying it in his usual sarcastic tone, he'd never really done magic or anything like it.

"Sounds like a plan," Felix said, looking up from his writing momentarily to face Jordan. "I'll wait here if you need me."

While part of him wanted to go see what the magician request needed, he honestly didn't think he'd be of much use. Unless the guy just needed some extra muscle, or perhaps some stage music. It wasn't a big deal though. Besides, this way he'd be able to work on his music. Sitting in his chair, arms resting on his guitar, he continued to scribble lyrics on his notepad, humming the melody to himself every few seconds.

"Really? You just did exactly what I said to do Jordan and yet you criticize me," Zima said shaking her head. "Anyways, see you tomorrow I guess." She then left the room to do the task she had at hand.

Danny having been told to sit in the room, much to his annoyance, sat down on a couch, pulling a book from his bag and proving "The Apple doesn't fall far from the tree" expression to be right, considering he was acting like his sister.

"Aye aya captain!" Lucina saluted Jordan cheerfully. She then grabbed Neil and started dragging him from the room excitedly, headed towards their destination.

"Looks like you got the easy job Nathan." Sophie said with a knowing smile as she got up from her seat.

Nate (who is currently wearing black dress pants, a white button down with the sleeves rolled up, a slate waistcoat and a red skinny tie TO BE JUDGED BY ZANE) simply shook his head. "You would think that would be the case... last time I was left as the leader in here was when you and Auntie..." He cut himself off.

"You mean the time we dressed you up in..." Sophie started giggling at the memory of dressing Nate up as... well herself. "Oh my that was priceless." She said softly after a few moments.

"For everyone but me." Nathan noted dryly, causing Sophie to grin.

"For everyone but you." She echoed, unable to stop herself from doing so. "I suppose I should be off, but I do wonder..." She considered her words for a moment before continuing, "Tu e Erika hai la stanza a voi stessi. Per lo più." Nathan raised an eyebrow. Sophie hated speaking Italian. But then when she brought up Erika he realized why. She didn't want the girl understanding what she was saying. Even if her Italian sucked compared to his. "Devo chiedere come avete a che fare con tutto il caos in questo club, però?"

"Nello stesso modo mi occupo di tutto il resto." Nathan quipped, rolling his eyes at the question. "Coller le français. Votre italien est terrible." He added as an afterthought.

Sophie just smiled back at him. "My French is still far better than yours brother." She noted in English as a way of making their language switches a bit less obvious, even if such an attempt would fail miserably. "I'll see you at home?" She asked after a moment.

"Don't know. I'll text you." He replied a bit absentmindedly and Sophie took that as the sign to leave.

Felix tried to hide his growing smile as he wrote in his notepad, listening to the exchange between Sophie and Nathan. Even though he was a terrible speaker of languages, he understood the basic gist of what they were saying. As much as he loathed it, it was the one thing he had taken from his childhood that actually had some value to him. His smile quickly turned into a scowl as his thoughts drifted back to that time...

"No, no, no... happy thoughts, dang it!"

Felix shook his head, pushing the thoughts out of his head as his expression returned to normal. Sophie began to leave, Felix just reclining in his seat. He began to pluck at the strings of his guitar idly, playing nothing in particular as he hummed a melody to himself. He returned to his previous task writing lyrics, occasionally ceasing his strumming to jot down a line or two.

Jordan's instructions simply solidified Erika's previous thoughts concerning her uselessness. Instead of making a scene, she reclined back further in her seat and said, "Yeah, whatever you say Jordan." Her voice failed to sound nonchalant. After listening to Nathan and Sophie's conversation, her only interest was that her name was mentioned due to the fact she didn't speak Italian.

Zane's mood was quite the opposite because he found himself feeling useful to the group. "You can count on me, leader guy." He said, his focus still on the clothing options from the members. "Let me know when we leave." He looked over at Nathan and placed a gold sticker below his name. Everyone else, including Anna, gained an 'x'.

Will was rather annoyed.

How tedious... He thought. Here I thought we'd be doing something more entertaining.

"Something wrong?" Alice asked.

"Nothing." Will replied coldly.

"Guess there's nothing else to do but wait for something to come along." Alice said.

Will gave a bored sigh, before pulling a book out his back reading.

"I'm not stopping. We have a task to do but if you don't want to do it then I'll handle it myself," she told him, letting go and walking ahead finally arriving at the destination of the request.
