Oh no, he struck a nerve. At least, she didn't assault him for his so-called joke, unlike some people he knew. Perhaps he should apologize? This was not his intention, he didn't want to be on bad terms with anyone, especially not on the first day. Moron, he thought to himself. [color=MediumSlateBlue]“Sorry...”[/color] He meekly apologized. From this point forward, he decided it was best to speak through his phone as much as possible. It provided him a comforting way to think rationally under stressful situations, he considered this to be one of them. His tail slipped into his sweater pocket, retrieving his phone and then established a connection with it. The voice comm immediately booted up. Player three has entered the fray! [color=MediumSlateBlue]“Datari-Kun!”[/color] Shiki's cheerful voice called out from the phone, projecting his filtered thoughts through the use of his tail. His physical body performed a welcoming gesture, all while his device-connected tail swayed behind him. They would be able to see his background picture on his phone, which was just a pineapple. Admittedly, it was just plain weird, but at least his anxiety cleared. [color=MediumSlateBlue]“Nyah!”[/color] He unintentionally slipped out. [color=MediumSlateBlue]“We are looking for a third member. It's only logical for us to team up again! Besides...”[/color] He paused. [color=MediumSlateBlue]“I like teaming up with you, Datari-Kun...”[/color] He confessed, a small blush building up on his cheeks as he returned a shy smile to Shun. He managed to make brief eye contact with Shun while he spoke, then averted his gaze before Shun's reaction set in. Overhearing Elina's lack of confidence into contributing for the team, involving her quirk's usefulness, was something Shiki would normally say about himself. Fortunately, there was a solution in front of them that will not go overlooked. No more negativity today! [color=MediumSlateBlue]“I've already mapped out a portion of the surrounding area while I was resting. I discovered you'll be able to use your quirk freely and possibly more effectively in certain areas, Yukira-San.”[/color] He then turned to Shun. [color=MediumSlateBlue]“Same goes for you, Datari-Kun. Point is, we'll just have to cover each others weaknesses and we'll be fine. Right?”[/color] He adjusted his glasses, a confident and stress-free smile shown on his face. With that said, Guodo-Sensei requested their attention again. There was a slight twitch underneath his beanie after receiving Sensei's number. They had access to an emergency contact, interesting. Although, Shiki doubted his team would get lost with his quirk on their side. He followed Guodo-Sensei along with the rest of his class, but stayed close with his team. The late arrival of the new student certainly caught Shiki's eye. Mainly, because of the mystery surrounding the student's quirk from the lack of demonstration. Shiki had no intel on him, but that will just have to wait until after this event. He wanted to use the remaining time they had to create a more detailed map of the area, so they don't have to waste precious time later. [color=MediumSlateBlue]“Could one of you get the ribbons and 'maps', please? I'm going to scout a path for us.”[/color] Shiki informed his team, then started to walk towards the edge of the field, assuming they couldn't leave until prep time was up. He unplugged his tail from his phone, causing his body to shudder for a brief moment. Then he reconnected his tail to the ground near his feet, gradually synchronizing himself with the land. Shiki then waited for his team to regroup, so they could come up with a formation together. [hr] [hider=Tl;dr] Shiki apologized to Elina for his lame 'joke'. Speaks to his team through his phone majority of the time. Slips out a nyah. Semi-interested in Kai. Tells Shun or Elina to fetch the maps/ribbons. Wanders to the edge of the field by himself to create a bigger and more detailed map. Waits for his team. [/hider]
