The conclusion of another school week was one of the favorite times for Lilian Manheim, but not because the week long stretch of dreary classwork had come to a close - in fact, this is the specific point in the week when she did the most work. The main entrance to Mainfield School had a short vestibule, the immediate left to which was the Principal's Office, a short hallway to the right led to the gymnasium, and the rest of the school was connected from that center focal point. The majority of students and faculty left through this exit. Each Friday, Lilian would walk down the west hall to collect her brother, then proceed to the main entrance and lean against the corner of the hallway. From this vantage point, she could observe anyone who passed, and people who wanted to seek her out learned to find her there. Cradled in her left arm was the notebook which bore a shade of red only slightly darker than her hair, and this book contained months of intricate records and notes, to which more content was added on days like this. With her little brother standing immediately beside her and rarely looking up from the ground, few felt compelled to form a queue while she addressed one person to the next. Most of the prospective clients gave an appearance as if they were waiting in line to use the neighboring bathroom, or cast glances over shoulders while they idly stood by lockers which lined the hall.
There were never any official rules stated about how she conducted her business. This all simply fell into place over time. Lilian liked it best like that - things worked out for her without her even asking for it. Of course, her detractors would say that she got it all handed to her on a platter because of her father's financial and social clout, and it was because of this that any teacher would speak to her at this time; but her own meticulous work ethic is what enabled her to maintain this service and be successful at doing it.
First in line was Brian Metzo, a seventh grade student who was as pudgy as he was dull witted. He asked if there was someone willing to do the geography project which is due the upcoming 22nd. The task entailed a three page written report with at least three separate references. He was assigned Chile, and offered a quarter for the job. He gave the money over immediately. Lilian flipped to one of the first pages in her book, ran a finger over a list of ten names, and decided upon Alex Silverston to be arranged for the task. She hasn't had a need to ask Alex for extra work in over a week, and his performance was enough to usually warrant a high C or low B grade. She would have assigned Brian Petrach to the job if he had offered a half buck. In the last page of her book, she wrote the line "HW: Metzo, 7th. Geography. Silverston. Paid. 5/19." and promptly snapped the book shut with a pinch of her fingers, while smiling and saying "Thank you." Brian shuffled off in a hurry.
With Brian out of the way, Peter Novak quickly stepped over from the boy's bathroom door entrance. He was a thin, short sixth grader with small black curly hair that rolled out under his hat. "A pack?" Lilian asked as he approached, and he nodded twice to confirm. She knelt to her side to reach into Henry's backpack and pulled out a box of playing cards which were emptied and had ten hand rolled cigarettes inside. The packs were a dime each, and cost a few pennies of tobacco to make. The card boxes came from her father's casino operation, and the teachers never inspected her brother's bag. Her right hand took the dime from Peter while the left passed the cigarettes to Peter. He continued in stride after the exchange and quickly left the school. She opened her book to one of the front pages and marked another notch next to Peter's name to indicate another pack sold. He had purchased twenty this year, which was the fourth most of any of her customers.
Lilian glanced over the bathroom entrance and noted at least six other boys who seemed to be waiting to speak with her. This Friday would take a while for her to clear out, but she didn't mind.
Late last year in her world history class, Mr. Druff made mention of the adage when talking about the era, telling the class that "all roads led to Rome." After the class ended, one of her classmate friends said that the phrase could be altered now to say "All roads lead to Lilian". On Fridays like this, it certainly seemed true.
Extra Mode. The Usual.
Another good run of play here. To be off by 145 EX in Artelia Method is a small miracle in itself, considering the last half of that chart is pure scratch spam bullshit that has extra notes for both hands added on top of it from Extra Mode. More sharp increases with Denjin Chop and such. Not surprised that Itoshisuru (Koi-suru?) troucned me at the end there. I cannot fathom how people like that song, good Lord.Code:EX% & Rank EX.p/f pg.gr.gd.bd.pr combo nc onc %+ date たまゆら @ 35.24 E 1232.F 389.454.512.139.563 0102 1748 1441 021.30 2012-07-20T23:43:00:444Z 02.81+ 0098+ 43+12+74-7-14+ 0000- 2012-05-03T03:52:00:094Z dazzlin darlin @ 72.66 A 1988.F 810.368.70.61.156 0218 1368 1052 030.03 2012-07-20T23:46:55:863Z 00.70+ 0019+ 19+19-4-15+9- 0007- 2012-06-15T01:37:16:152Z exe @ 58.64 B 1757.F 663431.266.56.224 0118 2012-07-20T23:50:32:218Z 0013- 0027+ scripted connection H @ 40.67 D 1657.F 591.475.511.168.652 0112 2037 1366 049.92 2012-07-20T23:53:19:632Z 03.17+ 0121+ 63+5-47-12-22+ 0014- 2012-04-06T01:05:03:360Z shoot em all @ 48.76 C 1819.F 644.531.409.99.424 0126 2012-07-20T23:57:08:728Z 0045- 0019- artelia method @ 39.66 D 1362.F 478.406.357.134.646 0148 2012-07-20T23:59:48:257Z 0141- 0005+ murmur twins 460 mix @ 35.92 D 2012.F 667.678.760.288.940 0095 2012-07-21T00:03:04:839Z 0072- 0024- ghost house @ 55.38 C 2590.F 991.608.316.157.490 0176 2012-07-21T00:06:29:047Z 0200- 0026- 電光チョップ!! @ 39.39 D 1656.F 556.544.503.161.712 0045 2102 1621 029.67 2012-07-21T00:11:54:912Z 06.31+ 0265+ 93+79+158-7-31+ 0013- 2012-05-03T03:33:19:654Z blank moon @ 41.29 D 1248.F 451.346.380.114.474 0070 2012-07-21T00:15:30:273Z 0038- 0004- mint @ 46.89 C 1316.F 461.394.315.52.318 0095 1403 0906 054.85 2012-07-21T00:17:54:727Z 01.78+ 0050+ 16+18+41-25-9+ 0001+ 2012-04-08T03:18:32:474Z 衰色小町メランコリア @ 53.30 C 1985.F 726.533.314.103.382 0069 1862 1163 060.10 2012-07-21T00:21:45:197Z 07.92+ 0295+ 147+1+102-39-62- 0034+ 2012-04-27T02:27:22:828Z in the name of love @ 39.87 D 1539.F 529.481.451.183.635 0030 2012-07-21T00:25:43:117Z 0051- 0021- usual days remix @ 39.31 D 1482.F 506.470.494.148.563 0131 1885 1474 027.88 2012-07-21T00:34:33:279Z 05.26+ 0236+ 94+48+121-11+21+ 0010+ 2012-05-03T02:37:12:806Z space time @ 51.71 C 1748.F 634.480.335.66.334 0171 2012-07-21T00:38:34:091Z 0110- 0051- 恋する☆宇宙戦争っ!! @ 29.13 E 1659.F 523.613.717.377.1276 0042 2012-07-21T00:41:36:376Z 0177- 0005-
