"Ahhhhh! I brought lunch for everyone... I thought I said that in my text. Oh well, I don't mind you guys taking what I brought home."
Still she steps towards the path into the woods and turns to face the little gaggle of friends she had assembled.
"I heard about a rumour an ancient shrine and an old naginata driven in the ground at this shrine. I did a bit of research and know what it is. I'm hoping we can get there, do some investigation, see if there's any haunting or curses or anything. Explore the possibility of retrieving the Naginata as a precious artifact if the Shrine is no longer viable and then eat lunch!"
She turns to Hinata then, looking very serious as she answered the question. "I was investigating another rumour in the woods with Nomen. It was dark and I was looking for a monster. The owl came out of nowhere to attack... the mouse at my foot. However I was being hyper vigilant! and I threw my paper plane at it and called down the Fury of Osano-Wo on it. CRACK KABOOM and it turned into crispy fried owl. It was either him or me and I won. Then I buried it to return it to the Earth Kami."
She coughs a bit and turns to face the forest then.
"Shall we uhh... begin?"

"...oh. Well, at least it died painlessly, from the sound of it."
Hinata cleared her throat.
"Right, let's go in. I want to see what this shrine business is all about."

"Well... I wasn't sure how many people you invited, because of my phone," Yoshi says to Nadeshiko when he hears about the food, holding up his cafeteria-bought lunch. "I brought my own food just in case there wouldn't be enough to go around. Thank you for making the effort to bring so much though, and including us all on what could prove an interesting investigation." He bows in thanks to her as he listens as she details her plans.
"Sounds good; I'm ready to get going whenever everyone else is," Yoshi declares. He's also feeling a little hungry, so the sooner they get to the site, the better, as far as his stomach was concerned.

Ichiro checked the straps on his pack and the knots on his daisho. "Yup I seem to be all set. Do you guys think we'll see a ghost?" He asks excitedly he appears more boyish than anyone here has seen him in awhile.

"Have to wonder why there's a shrine so far away from the campus temples," the Daidoji says, pondering out loud. "Doesn't it seem a little strange?"

Hinata shuddered at the mention of ghosts. She had seen one too many in her life already.
"I hope not."
She then nodded to Kobushi.
"And yes, it does. Which is why it is a mystery, I suppose."

With the group assembled Nade started to move down the path into the woods, whistling to herself for a few moments before calling back to the group.
"Isn't the weather nice today? I'm glad the rain has stopped at least for a little bit, it gets a bit dreary when there's nothing but rain!"

"I like it cool, how it's been all morning," Yoshi answers. "It's supposed to get warmer as the day goes on though, so I'm glad we're doing this now."

"Mm, it is better than it has been the last few days. Also, at least humidity is predicted to be low, so it should not be too bad."
Hinata paused.
"...of course a dry heat will still burn you. Just look at an oven."
As they walked, Hinata kept looking around the forest and admiring the natural beauty of it. Regardless whether there was a temple, a picnic in the woods had been a great idea.

"And yes, it does. Which is why it is a mystery, I suppose." "Maybe the temples weren't always in the same spot?" Kobushi ponders. "Isn't the weather nice today? I'm glad the rain has stopped at least for a little bit, it gets a bit dreary when there's nothing but rain!" "You're right about the rain. This whole trip would have been right out of a bad horror movie if it was raining."
