Ahh, that's the German festival with all the drinking and dancing. Sounds fun, though I think basing the café on it would have just attracted the wrong sort of crowd looking to get a bit too tipsy on campus."[/color] Kanbaru said with a nervous scratch of her cheek, feeling a bit self conscious about not knowing anything substantial about the event. She didn't think they'd take offense to her ignorance but she'd still make a mental note to look it up later. [color=aqua]"Oh, you noticed that. Nah, I'm not anti-social. It's just..."[/color] Kanbaru paused as her face scrunched up, seemingly at odds with itself to find the proper response. There'd be a great deal of answers she could give, valid through and through, but there was something in particular... [color=aqua]"Well, I'd missed out on a lot of the big events in DGO lately. There was a lot of EXP out there for everyone but me, and I needed to make up the deficit if I wanted to be relevant. Besides, it's a good chance to network with the people who actually are too anti social to show up to festivals. When they can't blend into crowds, you'd be surprised how much easier it is to approach certain people."[/color] [color=aqua]"Heh, the glory of anonymity I guess. Sigh, and it looks like things turned out for the best in the end. If I wasn't online at the time and if we hadn't met each other relatively alone, we wouldn't be sitting here now. Would rather be on the side with competent company and a chance for good engagements in the future then the one that couldn't even man its own walls properly."[/color] [@KoL] [hr] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/3hvnOqa.png[/img][/center] [h2][color=royalblue][center]R u f u s[/center][/color][/h2] Rufus may as well be dating the sentient love child of a shark and trash can, yet he still had to wonder what was in the drinking water to make such peculiar students. Clearly something at Purple Crown was doused with mutagenic chemicals because there can't naturally be this many fascinating people in one area naturally. [color=royalblue]"I've been here for an hour but you lot are the first I've seen. Breathing is dangerous if you are concerned with choking on airborne pork in a food fight, but you know there have been like two stabbings this month here, right? "[/color] Students really were wrapped up in their own worlds if they didn't even have time to watch the local news while loitering in a coffee shop. [color=royalblue]"And I'm not sleeping here. This is just the best place to see the constellations. Less light pollution in a park, and I've got the Big Dipper lined up between these two slats. If I were sleeping, I'd be up in that tree to avoid stabbings."[/color] [color=royalblue]"And the wild dogs. Surprising number of negligent pet owners just let the animals run feral in the city. And if you believe old man Igawa down by the Good Will, there's coyotes looming around the outskirts, but I'll believe that when I see the homeless roasting one over a burning barrel."[/color] The boy under the bench said, pulling out a baguette he'd purloined from the dumpster of a bakery as it dumped the days unsold product, and tore off a few bites as yet another weirdo walked in a subsequently into Cassandra. [color=royalblue]"Nah, you aren't intruding. I think my presence derailed their black widow killings anyway. Soooo, I don't think there is enough room under this bench for everyone, but I have bread, a blanket, and there is a beautiful night sky above us."[/color] He rolled out from under the bench, bread stuffed under his arm like an umbrella while the blanket was held as though a coat, his poise paradoxically refined while still looking like a vagrant. [color=royalblue]"Who wants to see the sun rise while we're all still unplugged from silly games that allow for elementalist witch doctors with infinite powers? Oh, and I hope you don't mind my smell. Someone tried to bathe me using only a toilet, but I've long mastered the art of escaping from duct tape."[/color] [@ReaptheMusic][@Caits][@Scarifar]
