"Progressive nerve disease. It'll kill me eventually, but in the meantime I get to keep walking and not shitting myself because of a machine hooked up to my nervous system. I suppose people with pacemakers are cyborgs too, then."

"Urk... uummm..."

Beryl glances around nervously.

"I...  had no idea..."

He takes off his glances and pretends to clean them for a second, so that he can't see everyone's faces.

"A club wouldn't work. We'd have to let other, non-magical students in. Plus, it'd put us under scrutiny."

Beryl was secretly wanting to join a club as well, but none of the clubs would have been a fit. So he pressed the issue a bit more.

"Letting other students in doesn't seem to be a problem. Most of the Asian students don't bother with a club if there's a foreigner in it and most of the foreigners join only one club, the 'Foreign Union Club'. Thing is all we need to do to stay above scrutiny is have 4 or more members and participate in the school festival. We can manage to keep the club low-key by not advertising for new members. Plus we'd get all the perks of having a club like..."

"Oh, that! I was recording details of last night stuff! Looky!"
Alex knocks back a sandwich with one hand, and flips open one of the notebooks with the other. There are a number of detailed pencil drawings of Daoto in various... stages of the mechanical fiddling. The Daoto is writhing. All craftAlexship is of the squickiest quality.

Beryl looks at the notebook and then awkwardly looks away.

"People are eating..."

Beryl looks around a bit at the other tables. It is a Sunday and the cafe terrace is mostly empty. There are a few students eating, a few couples shooting the breeze, and a teacher reading a newspaper.

"I asked before, but do we have a club room or base or something?"

"This place isn't the best place to keep a secret and neither is the cafeteria."
"Here we look suspicious and there we can get overheard by anyone."

Beryl frowns again.

"This thing is the size of tennis ball and I tried to leave it in my dorm... but I couldn't bare to not have it on me."

"I'm sure we will once I can integrate into the regular classes."

Turns his attention to Eren.

"Hello, Eren-san."

Beryl then turns his gaze to his Soul Gem which he turns slightly on the table and watches how the light his it.

"I found this when I woke up this morning. Is this my wish?"

Beryl looks around briefly and catches the eye of Kimiko.

Beryl is tall for age as well, but he slouches a bit. He has green hair and eyes. He's wearing simple t-shirt and blue jeans combo.

He reaches over to a nearby table and borrows a chair and sets it at his table.
Beryl was a little bit intimidated by Kimiko's tone of voice the previous night and got the feel of sophistication.

"Hello, are you Hikaru-san?"

<New guy, Hey, I got everyone cakes if you want one.>

<New guy? You mean that uh, Beryl dude? Where you at?>

<Huh? Oh... me I'm eating breakfast at the school's cafe outside on the terrace. I want to talk to you guys, but I didn't want to bother anyone.>

<So, do we have a club room or something?>

Beryl listens a bit more.

<Sounds like a few of you are here, too. Where at?>
