[Call it habit. Kurumi never liked being far from a shovel--especially if she was going into a scary looking forest. Never hurt anyone to be prepared. ...not that a shovel would do much damage against some of those creatures she's seen walking around. Kurumi loosened her grip a little more on the shovel. She doesn't let go entirely but it was as much of a show of good faith as she could allow herself.]

You didn't sound like those voice so I thought I better try to find you before something else did.

[She scratches the back of her neck with the hand not holding the shovel.] This place? Nope. There weren't any monsters back home at the school.

[...Well. Technically. If you didn't count zombies. The Club made a point of simply calling them ghosts, creepers, or delinquents out of habit. But all of the creatures she saw here weren't zombies.]
