[h3][i][b]Campus Grounds > Girl's Dorm Lobby[/b][/i][/h3][hr][/center]
[@Silver Carrot][@Aerandir][@Noxx]Kenichi didn't have the first clue what everyone at the entrance was gathered up for, although that one girl from the Hero Gear class seemed kind of aggressive towards the mini-Fumika. The aforementioned girl, however, merely muttered something to herself while blinking rapidly as if she had seen something she hadn't expected. All of a sudden she pointed at him and said something to the small blond girl from homeroom.

"Kasuke-san, you go to school here, right? How did this happen?!"

"How'd what happen? What'd I do?" Kenichi asked innocently, tilting his head. If he had an ahoge of his own like Fumika, it would have certainly done a question mark impression. But Fumika spoke up just then, and although he wasn't sure given how neutral her expressions usually were unless she started mimicking someone, he felt like something was off.

"I'm fine," she said. "My friends were just arguing, and I didn't know what to do, so I got angry. That's all."

"Ah. Well, as long as everything's cool now..." Kenichi nodded. Bowing quickly, Fumika disengaged from the conversation, and rushed over to Haruka's side--

[i]Waitaminute.[/i]

Kenichi suddenly realized that he [i]did[/i] recognize the girl with the prosthetic. Her hair and clothes were different, as was her expression, and the leg was definitely different, but how had he missed it? Fumika, after all, had projected an exact, perfect duplicate of this girl just a few hours ago. This was her--the friend, Haruka, that Fumika talked to even though the projection couldn't talk back. 

[i]"I'm not strong... I couldn't beat you... I can't even beat him... It doesn't matter how hard I try to fight for myself, does it? I'll only lose in the end. Nothing has changed, except I can't hide behind you anymore...!"[/i]

But now this girl, that apparently Fumika had idolized, seemed like she was pretty down and out herself. She must have been arguing with Jett, and looked like she might even have been crying. But Jett didn't look angry--in fact, he looked a little uncharacteristically down himself. What had they been arguing about if they were both so sad, and why had it made Fumika angry enough to shout like that?

Fumika took Haruka by the hand, and Kenichi thought he heard her call the younger girl Asuka, before they headed off towards the dorms. Jett stopped them for a moment, to give a really heartfelt apology although it seemed like it turned kind of emo-self-depreciating towards the end. Kasuke spoke up, saying Jett needed to understand girls better and asking if he was going to tell them who that was. Kenichi almost started to say it wasn't any of her damn business--who did that, prying into somebody else's life when they were clearly upset, and asking about someone else who wasn't even present to give their side of things?

But Jett explained anyway, and Kenichi stuck around...at this point he was definitely feeling like a fifth wheel, but he had to admit he was curious and if Jett was gonna offer he might as well hear the rest of it. It seemed Fumika wasn't the only one who had been close to Haruka, and Kenichi was willing to bet there was more than just friendship going on in Jett's case.

"Ah, well...you're both good people, it'll work out. Sorry, I'm probably in the way here, so I'm just gonna..." As Kasuke and Jett talked about the necklace, Kenichi excused himself from the conversation with all the smoothness of a shark's skin and walked back towards where he had left Ayato. At some point he had heard Mamoru shouting in the background, something about a big dinner or something. Somebody had probably gotten it into their heads to have a celebration on account of the first day of school.

[@rechonq]”Hey, Yoshida, you still coming to the gym? I was just wondering if you were going to ditch for food instead.” Ayato asked, and the blue hair paused for a moment before looking towards the dorms Fumika and Haruka had headed towards.

"Well...I guess we ought to go, cause who knows what will be left if we wait too long. I forgot there's gonna be a shared-kitchen situation going on..." Until he could go shopping for groceries on his own, and label everything that was his inside the community fridge, he would probably be stuck eating at the same time as everyone else. "You go ahead though, I want to check on something. Save me a seat if ya can." He grinned and waved to Ayato as he turned away, although it was kind of hard to be cheery at the moment. With that done, though, he headed for the dormitory buildings and hoped if Fumika and Haruka had already gone inside that he wouldn't be in trouble for being a boy on the girl's side of the dorms.

[@Feyblue]Heading into the lobby, he started to look for that distinctive blonde ahoge...
