"Hmm..." Arceia began to think to herself as she hung a banner on the outside door of the large theater. Matters like this, usually get brought together with more effort than this. But everything seemed to be going so smoothly. The banner she set up read, in large, easily readable text, "Welcome all First Years and Transfers!"

A meet and greet with the Etoile would be held here. All of the student body could attend, if they were curious of who the new students were. The first years and transfer students, though, would be attending this specifically to learn about the schools, how they work together, and what each individual role on the student council meant.

There in lies the only problem though: She had never met this year's Etoile, nor did she know where the girl could be found. That would be the biggest challenge, unless another member of student council happened to know. Thinking of all of this, she entered the building, and took note of all of the individual seats. There were three on stage, with a podium set in the center. A spotlight was also in use, however it was turned off for now. A microphone was in place on the podium, and there was a small paper explaining the order of which things to say.

All of this had been prepared specifically for this day. The seats in the audience were sectioned off by school, with Miator being in the center, Spica on the right, and Lulim on the left. Everything was set up perfectly, and after much work from all members of student council, the event was ready to start. Or, at least, it would be.

If the Etoile were actually in attendance right now. With a sigh, Arceia knew she had to track down the Etoile she knew nothing about. Though maybe, that could be a joint activity for all of student council? After all, the other presidents always seemed so much wiser than her when they met. They surely knew where to find her, right?

"Right. I need to find Nayuki-sama and Miator's president. They'll know where she is."

Arceia then waited by the door for a moment, half hoping to see one of the two come by.

Dressed in her normal Spica uniform with the short version of the Spica jacket Nayuki entered the theatre. Her black coloured hair was hanging loose as usual, though it was clearly that she had been making herself extra pretty for this event as it seemed more shiny than usual and had just been dyed. Her headband was blue with a real white flower on the side that she had taken from the green house earlier that day. A couple of flower earrings also hang from each of her ears and as her hair was pushed behind her ears they were visible to the people around her. They were in the same noticeably blue colour as her headband and also matched her bracelet.

She was quite aware of the welcome ceremony and had decided to come to the theatre earlier to help prepare the last details for the event. When seeing the banner outside she had been impressed by how some people seemed to have been working hard, and also felt a pang of guilt for being too late to help with the banner. Also getting to see the inside of the theatre her mouth curved upwards in a small smile. The small things that had still needed to be done when she left some time earlier was now fixed and everything seemed to be finished. She had been working hard together with the other presidents the whole day to make the theatre ready and seeing the finished result made her feel really happy.

When entering the theatre she soon spotted Arceia by the door and gave her a polite smile. “I see that everything’s ready Arceia-san. Well done on the banner outside.” Looking around her smile faded a little. “But there’s still something missing,” She mentally sighed and turned back to the Lulim president. “Sadly I haven’t seen the Etoile today. I was hoping Miator’s president knew something about where she could be, but she didn’t know either.” The dark haired girl explained with a small frown visible on her face.
