Back against the smoke wrought like steel, Shou's eyes struggled to stay open with a tired bitterness as he watched the others group up like it was natural. There was a pit mulling around in his stomach as he realized that with the smaller amount of groups, there weren't going to be a lot of leftovers. He was going to be lumped with a group that hadn't chosen him, which was perhaps even worse. Thumping his forehead into his knees, he wanted nothing more than to be gone... After a minutes or so, there was a bit of movement from nearby. Shouichi dared sneak a glance, losing interest the moment he saw who it was. [color=a0410d][i]The guy's just restless maybe? He can't be heading over here, his group is already... Wait, he's not stopping. Why is he...oh. Oh no. Oh god of n-[/i][/color] [color=red]"Hey what's up I'm Satan I noticed you haven't joined a group yet and-"[/color] [color=a0410d][i]no no no NO NO NO. Why god?[/i][/color] [color=red]"-nobody here really likes me-"[/color] [color=a0410d][i]Me included![/i][/color] [color=red]"They probably think I'm a real demon."[/color] [color=a0410d][i]Did you think that was clever or do you really believe that? Oh my god he's got 8th Grader Syndrome it all makes sense now.[/i][/color] Satan continued on, extending a formal invitation, Shou desperately trying to keep his expression neutral, rather than let it slip into one of disgust or fear. Because as much as Shou wanted to be anywhere but right next to this guy, he could still be some delinquent punk who'd rip him to pieces. Assuming it wasn't just some 8th Grader Syndrome bark to conceal the lack of a bite. Was Shou going to let himself be killed by a delinquent punk, or get annoyed to death by him? Eyes glazing over at the horrible choice, he realized, [color=a0410d][i]Well, if I piss him off, I die faster, sooooo...[/i][/color] Shifting awkwardly, he opened his mouth. [color=a0410d]"T-t-team up with y-[i]you[/i]?"[/color] Slipping his legs down and crossing them, he coiled his arms around his chest, turning his head away. [color=a0410d]"I d-don't want to b-b-be on [i]any[/i] g-group. B-besides, if anyone's g-g-getting voted off i-it's me. I d-d-d-don't even [b]want[/b] to b-be here..."[/color] [color=a0410d][i]"And you can't have a team of five you friggin' dumbass!"[/i][/color] [color=a0410d][i]Heh heh, yeah it would have been cool if I said that,[/i][/color] Shouichi considered, but his self preservation instinct kicked in at the last moment as he kept his eyes away, heart beating louder as he started to sweat, hairs on the back of his neck standing as he felt Satan's stare.
