[h2]Luke Schwarz -- Isolation Contemplation[/h2]

Eating his pizza in uncharacteristic silence, the raven-haired young man noted that he was alone here in the cafeteria. Perhaps not physically, of course-- there were plenty of people seated at the long table, so eerily reminiscent of those in a high school, but on a more spiritual, metaphorical level, the one-seat gaps on either side of him that separated the bruiser from the other, nameless masses of students may as well have been chasms as deep as the core itself.

In other, less needlessly-verbose terms, he didn't know [i]anybody[/i] here. This table was full of a bunch of strangers, and he couldn't just insert himself into their social groups at his leisure. It wasn't as if he was as carefree as Monkey D. Luffy, he had committed enough faux pas in his life as it was!

[i]...Where's my team?

Seriously, Jack runs off half the time, Mokuren runs off [u]all[/u] the time, and now even Cian's nowhere to be found. This is a mess!

...Am I the only one of us that likes the others?[/i]

He frowned, brow furrowing as he musingly tore the crust of his second slice in half, chiding himself for considering as his jaw worked. That couldn't be right. Everyone had gotten along perfectly fine on Sunday, and they'd gone out and had some fun together like any other team...

Well, again, except for Mokuren. If it weren't for the fact that they shared a dorm, he'd have almost sworn the baffling fox faunus to not even exist...

Pulling out his scroll, he pulled up the group message they'd managed to all agree to setting up the Saturday after their trials at the Casino. This team needed something to stick them all together, or else it was bound to fall apart. It was a law of the universe -- if nothing exists to bind certain objects in place, they will inevitably separate and spread away from eachother. It was just as true as nature abhoring a vacuum or opposites attracting.

[i]And hey, if someone needs to play glue...[/i]

Frowning at both the lack of response and the lack of anything else to do, Sterling sent another message of his own off on it's way to the rest of team JSSC.
