A room, filled with dark and occult items. Black curtains hang. Candles light the room. Electric candles, after the...incident, only electric candles. The entire ambience is that of somethign spooky, something unknown, something horrific.
This is also known as 'a clubhouse Dima made so people can hang'. Well, clubhouse is really the inoperative word. It's a building outside of these School grounds, that she managed to get her hands on.
Dima herself looks around. "So...hi everyone. Um...this is my place. I figure we can hang out here while things get started. See what people are here.

Mara hesitates a bit as she enters, glancing around. She's just charged earlier today, so she's got a while to go before she needs to do so again. ...Being a robot was so weird... "It looks..." ...Her smile strains a bit, obvious despite her robotic nature. "...Nice? Very, uh. ...Dark." ...Which was probably what Dima was going for, but even so...

Robin raises an eyebrow as she stops shortly after joining the clubhouse
"It certainly does have athmosphere. Say, where do you perform your eldritch rituals ?"
the young woman asks in a casual manner, standing on one foot while the other is merely touching the ground with the tips as her other leg is turned to the side in a relaxed fashion.

Dima is busy looking at googly-eyed at Mara. A...robot girl is something new, even with all the stuff she has seen. "You're a ROBOT. That is so AWESOME."
As for Dima, she is a young woman of arabic descent, dressed in long, flowing dark robes, covered in various eldritch symbols of whichever diety she could get her hands on. Anyone with knowledge of the occult can tell that most are attempting to call upon various dieties...but are actually worhtless for doing such, as most dieties tend not to deal in such symbols, so much as the mystical equivalent of a discreet phone call.
Dima reveals her face, showcasing a bright-eyed and innocent looking girl, with a bit of baby fat still on her face, as she smiles. "Howdja get to be a robot?"
And, at Robin's question, she gestures to the back, where the floor appears to be made of very level materiall, and there are a series of wash-away chalk sets, for easy drawing and undrawing of a circle.

"Uh!" Mara says, squawking a bit when Dimma suddenly starts looking at her, almost stumbling back and running into the wall. "Um. It's. ...Complicated?" She says rubbing the back of her neck as she averts her eyes. She can't really 'feel' any neck muscles to rub, but she was a human. And remembers being a human. And has human instincts, for the most part.
She, herself, is slightly tall for a woman of around... twenty, it seems. Her body is mostly a shiny chrome, with small gaps for all her joints. Hips, knees, elbows, all of that... not that Dima can SEE all of them, of course. She's wearing clothing. A modest pair of pants and top. ...Which, given the fact that her face and, ah, 'chest' seem to be made of some kind of synthetic skin, is probably a good idea. She isn't wearing anything too fancy, but it looks surprisingly good on her. "There was this -- uh." She pauses, and considers. "Have you heard about how the CEO of Madame's Tech was arrested for many counts of murder? Yeah. She was testing how to move a person's soul into a robotic body. ...I'm just lucky the police caught on to what was going on before she reformatted my hard drive... don't know WHAT would have happened if she managed to do that." She grimaces, and perhaps pouts a bit as she pokes at her chest. "Can't afford the fortune required to make this body male, either... or even more realistic, so I'm stuck like this for the immediate future." Her voice is VERY well synthesized. It sounds almost like an actual human speaking, with a few strange verbal ticks here and there to show that she's not.

"That is... pretty unfortunate, but I guess you can save the money you don't need to spend for food anymore to get it erm, done, eventually."
Robin responds to that fairly grim revelation. She herself was short, her pale skin suggesting an inbalance of time spend inside and outside. She is wearing a pair of glasses, aswell as a simple black hoodie, her hands buried into it's belly pockets, some short jeans and some simple sneakers. her hair is a light brown worn in a textured bob haircut, with her slightly curly frontbang having been dyed red. A fairly odd feature about her are her eyebrows, which appear somewhat short, a possible give away if somebody gives enough attention to her, but considering the bad lighting of the place...
"So...I guess that means we skip my question about getting some ice cold soda and go right to the next one...Would we like to do something ? A boardgame maybe ?"
She asks the two.

Dima...is sitting there with wide eyes, as she scoots away. "EW! EWEWEWEWEWEWBADEWBAD!" She shivers uncontrollably, and gulps. "Okay. Yeah...I'm mildly interested in methods of immortality and paths to power and all, but EWEWEWEWEW. No. Bad. Ew. She KILLED people to try to become a robot? That's...that's just wrong. Badwrong. Barong."
"Yeah. Board games good. Oh, and don't mind the old animatronic in the back. It was SUPPOSED to be haunted...turns out it wasn't."

Mara is... fairly... very, very amused, at seeing a goth get all 'ickied out' at the idea of death. Weren't goths supposed to be all 'life is pain' and 'only death is real' or something? "Yes, well... I happen to agree with you. It is 'barong'. I'm just glad I don't remember most of it." She pauses, and blinks. "Barong? Isn't that a pokemon...?"
She shakes her head a bit, letting her synthetic hair shimmer, at the mention of a board game. "Yes! Yes. Board games sound fun." She tilts her head. "What kind of board games do you have, anyway? Monopoly, Dominion, Arabian Nights?" ...Please let her not suggest an ouija board PLEASE let her not suggest an ouija board...

"Ouija boards."

"...Of course..." Mara says, slumping a bit. "You do know there hasn't been any scientifically proven evidence that those things actually WORK, right? ...And that they're not actually a 'game' following, uh... any definition?" Mara read up a bit on ghosts after she kinda realized that she died... she's not an occultist by any means, but she just doesn't quite see the point behind an 'ouija board'. "...What kind of ghosts would actually stick around to answer our questions, anyway? ...And would you really WANT them to?"

Dima shrugs. "I...actually got an answer last time I tried. I asked if they knew a method of immortality, and I got a response!" She perks up happily. "It was...'If I knew that, I wouldn't be a ghost." She slumps down. "We also have Arkham Horror, various Zombie games, and "Attack on Innsmouth""

Mara blinks. Slowly. "...Well... I think one or two of our teachers is immortal?" She half offers. "And... okay, where did you ask this question?" She asks, glancing around a bit nervously. "...Here? Because if that's the cast, some kind of exorcism might not be the worst idea in the world... but..." She offers a slight shrug. "If you really want to, we can give the Ouija board a try. I might skew the results, though... not used to my own strength..."

Robin's shoulders twitch lightly
"Your house, your rules... unless you want to involve some homebrew, then I might have a thing or two to say about it."
She replies.
(You guys post... fast.)

Dima nods, and heads to the backroom, pulling out a large set of boxes. She has...a huge serious of board games and such. As she said, the board games range from those made by Fantasy Flight, to Wizards of the Coast games. (Not DnD, board games), to quite a few zombie-based games, and even an old game, known as "Attack on Innsmouth". She has both the first and second edition. The first, the players play as military forces attacking the demons hidden in the town of Innsmouth. The second? Is a defensive oriented game, trying to keep the military AWAY and rescue as many Lemurian citizens as possible. (Bonus points can even rescue the Underwater City!)
She also has a Oujia Board, or something like it. It's clearly not an old Toys R Us version. This one is made of solid wood, all in one piece, with quartz letters and numbers, along with an inlay on the back. This is NOT the one made by Elijah Bond.

Mara blinks at the Ouija board... "Oooh..." She reaches out to touch it, giving it a feel. "This looks... quite fancy." She blinks. "Where'd you get it?" It looks expensive, and SUPER fancy. And Dima did claim she got a response on an Ouija board before... maybe the fancy-level of it made it more likely for ghosts to respond? ...Though that does sound kinda ridiculous now that she actually thinks it... "So we just... sit down and put our hands on it, right?"
