4/9 - Toroname Residence - Morning
The morning started with the blare of my alarm clock. It had been so long since I'd heard it, I almost threw it out of the window on reflex. Seriously, I know they want to wake you up, but a volume button wouldn't kill them... "Ugh... It's like waking up to an air raid..." Gonna have to get used to it, though. School's starting again today, so early rising's not optional anymore.
"Akatsuki? You awake? C'mon, bud, up and at 'em!" My dad's voice echoed from downstairs. Sometimes I wonder what he's made of to get up so early without any problems.
"Yeah, I'm up! Be down in a sec!" I looked outside as I got up. "At least the weather's good today." Out of bed, I got dressed, grabbed my stuff, and made sure to pack my practice gear into its carry bag. After that, it's downstairs for breakfast, and I could smell it from up the stairs. In the kitchen, I could see him filling a bowl with rice from out of the cooker. "Well, don't mind if I do."
"Eat it fast. You don't want to be late for your first day this year." I was too busy stuffing my face to say anything back. "Oh, by the way... I heard your school's getting a transfer student. Know anything about that?"
Oh, yeah... I think I heard that, too. "Dunno... Heard he's from the city, but that's about it. Why do you ask?"
"Oh, no reason. Before you go, though..." He got up to grab something from the counter. "I packed a bento for you. Good way to start school this year, I figure." I could tell he was up to something, but I figured it wasn't too big a deal. Probably wanted me to share it with the new guy or something. "I trust you'll be at the dojo when I need you? We've got some new students that'll be joining now that the school year's picking up."
That's right. My dad runs the local martial arts dojo downtown, and I'm among his top students, as well as his lead assistant whenever I'm there. "Sure thing. Always fun to see what they can do." I couldn't help but chuckle in excitement. No telling what kinds of people you meet each year there.
"Well, go easy on them. We want them to learn the art, and putting them on the floor too quickly doesn't help." Point taken. After eating, I cleaned up, thanked him for the meal and went for the door. On my way out, I heard him shout after me. "Oh, and don't forget to visit the girls today!"
"Yeah, you got it. Catch you later, Dad."
4/9 - Hinasho High - Morning
The way to the school was pretty was pretty uneventful. I decided to run for some morning exercise, and saw some familiar faces on the way. A prim and proper girl and her friends, one of which seemed to have a target on her back when it came to jokes. I didn't remember her name, but I was pretty sure she was older than me. One thing was obvious, though, and that was that her looks mattered plenty to her.
In front of the school, pretty much right as I got there, a kid on a scooter accidentally ran into another student. I didn't recognize the older student, so he was probably the transfer student I'd heard about. The younger one was obviously a first-year, but I couldn't put a name on him either. After it happened, they were quick to get up, apologize to each other and move on. Guess they're fine. With nothing else happening, I headed inside for my class.
I got to my seat, and the class was greeted by Hinasho's own daylight vampire, Muneshige Takamine. He introduced the transfer student to the class. "Kaze Shison", huh? He didn't seem too bad. Thing was, though, that he got seated in front of me, between Shun Akamura and... Koi Maki-Maki. Arguably the creepiest girl in town. I didn't expect her to be in the same class, but it couldn't be helped.
4/9 - Hinasho High - Lunch
After morning lessons ended, it was time to eat. I remembered that Dad had packed a bento box for me, and pulled it out to see what was inside. Pretty basic. Some rice, teriyaki chicken, and tofu. The amount, though, was clearly enough for two people, along with two pairs of chopsticks. The old man meant well, but his lack of subtlety was sometimes a bit annoying. I was about to ask the new guy if he wanted some, but he apparently got his food from the lunch crew.
I didn't expect it, but the one helping with food today was the first-year I saw run into Shison-kun earlier. I remembered that students helping with lunch got a meal on the house in return. Even so, with food to spare, I couldn't help but address him about it as he passed. "Hey, thanks for helping out with lunch. What's your name? Mine's Akatsuki Toroname." I offered up my spare chopsticks. "If you're cool with it, I got extra food if you want some. You can grab a share after you're done helping the class. I'll make sure there's some to spare."
Afterwards, I noticed another familiar face in the room and moved to sit with him. "Yo, Itachi, good to see you man."
"Ah, Akatsuki. How goes it?"
"Same old, same old. Gonna help the old man with teaching at the dojo once he gets the place open for the year. Got any plans on your end?"
"Well, now that you mention it..." Oh, joy... What's he got going? "Word is, some of the class is planning to take the transfer over to the haunted house later, see if they can spook him."
Oh, come on... "Seriously...? Don't they have anything better to do?"
"What do you think? I'm not going, 'cause I gotta work, but it sounds like it could be interesting."
"Yeah-no, I'll pass... I don't need to spook newcomers to get my kicks."
"If you say so... Oh! You got spare food? Why didn't you say so?" He reached in, but I stopped him before he got too greedy about it. "Aw... What gives?"
"Sorry, man. I promised a share to someone else, so hands off."
"Ooh, you don't say...? So what's her name?" Damn it all, he got the wrong idea...
"I don't know his name, but he's a first-year. Thought a little generosity would help him feel welcome."
"Heh... Ever the softy, huh?" I scoffed, but all he did was chuckle. "I kid, I kid... Anyway, take it easy, man." I nodded him off, and went back to my seat.
When I got there, I heard Akamura asking Shison-kun about checking out the house. Afterwards, he got up and started talking to a girl in the hall. Was that...? "Of course... She would be behind this..." I'd told Itachi I wasn't going, but I was beginning to reconsider. "Maybe I should keep an eye on them..."
4/9 - Hinasho High - After School
After wrapping things up in class, I decided to follow Shison-kun outside to meet him at the gates. I didn't wanna seem like I was eavesdropping, so when I got there, I just greeted him as a new student. "Yo, you're the new transfer student, yeah? Shison, was it?" I offered my hand in greeting, then kept up the talk. "Name's Akatsuki Toroname. I grew up here, so lemme know if you ever want someone to show you around." In the end, I decided to extend an invitation of my own.
"By the way, my family runs a dojo downtown, if you're ever interested. Good place to get a workout, and learn something at the same time. Lemme know, and we can have you in whenever you've got the time."

@PandaBrady Is there a cemetery in town, or would I go to the shrine for stuff like that?
@PandaBrady
It's not quite about envy, but yeah. Anywho, if it's cool with you, I'll get started on post in the IC. Should I start from the beginning, or focus on that day?

Okay, this should work. I'm reusing my old character, but I decided to switch his Arcana and Persona so be a bit more appropriate to how I plan for things to go. Lemme know if there's any problems.
Will get a CS up, soon as I can.
You guys got room for another? Been meaning to jump back into this.
Been a while. Would be more than happy to try again, if this is still good for another try.
A shame IRL stuff ended up taking out two of our players. Guess I'll just wait and hope we get more people next time. ^^
