[IC] Persona 4 - Black Carnival

[vancexentan]

"Tell me sir...Do you really think the world is going to change? The incident a few years ago was something that shook up things a bit. And that boy...he gave up everything too stop that creature." the young boy said as he tightened his tie around his neck. He ran his hand down his clothes and and patted them afterward. They stood in a dark room it's furnishings and walls obscured by a mysterious darkness. The boy wasn't worried nor did he especially care about the state of the world in truth but he found it interesting his...companion did. Whatever the reasons his companion had too come out of his dark abyss to protect this world for he knew none of them.

"Simply put my dearest friend. The world is in a state of constant change. To know the feeling of desire humans seek, and to seek what they have sought for many years they end up change every day. Unprepared they are for it to come and change the world they know. Hate and malice mixed with pain are things too common in the world they hear. Thus it breeds and continues on as I have read with my cards. An old guard may assemble but their fable will not be able...to change and stop the world's spinning. Desire corrupted and perverted this being it will not stop you see. A new group needs to be made to change and spin the world so that it may be unmade." the cloaked figure muttered as he flipped cards idly on a table in front of him. The decrepit table shivered as he put the cards on them and then shuffled into a deck. "And what of the wild card?" the boy asked simply as he stood crossed arms laying across his chest. The entity chuckled as it gathered the cards together and shuffled the deck. "The wild card shall be kept at bay. Her presence will not be felt today. Nor tomorrow or the very next day. The other wild cards will not be able to change the pace of our tale. If they come they will find they will not be able to change my mind." the creature spoke as he flipped some more cards over revealing the moon and star.

"If you say so sir." commented the boy as he walked over to a mirror and stared into it. "I still say a wild card would've helped but I suppose it's better to let the deck lay where it is without inserting another card into it. After all we have a joker in this deck already we don't need a fool." commented the boy with disdain as he poked the mirror as it rippled like water. "When will they find out?" the boy asked as the creature shook his head. "In time in time my dear sweet lad. I will show them their path."

Time: 7:00 - April 12 2014 Tuesday

The first day of school for a lot of the kids in Inaba meant the start of another long, long period of studying and dealing with the other kids in their small town. Most people knew each other and the town had gotten a somewhat bad reputation after the murder cases back three years ago attributed too one of the police force's own members. The school had a few new teachers this year and even a new principle. Things were going to be a bit different this year at the very least. It wasn't raining but there were some clouds out in the sky and the weather was fairly nice despite it being a bit breezy. A bunch of kids were gathered all around the school grounds. Even the group of delinquents had their place on the side of the high school. The kids were led by a guy named Hashirama Miyomoto and then there was a smaller trio who's head was a boy named Shiro Wanatabe. Either way only Shiro really picked on anyone actively and the bigger group was led by just a bunch of kids attempting to be cool or find a group they can skip classes with.

Most of the kids in school were kind though and many of them were talking and chatting about stuff they were doing when school was off. The new freshmen would be coming in this year and as usual some of the seniors were devising plans on picking on the new kids in their own ways with all sorts of rumors and pranks. But for most kids it was just a return to the norm.

Will was walking with his friend Heero who was still showing him around the town because he himself didn't know where everything was. He had been here for about two days now. Three if you counted his one. Will was a transfer student from America and he had come here by getting in contact with his friend Heero's student exchange program. He was to spend a year or so here in Japan while another student from Inaba spent some time in America. Will was really glad to be in Japan despite his rather rough Japanese. He stood by his friend with his uniform on and he felt really out of the ordinary. Will wasn't use to being in such a foreign environment. Everyone looked different and spoke in a different accent than he did. It felt jarring. He just wanted something to happen already! He wanted to get to school and sit down and maybe talk to some people. However Heero turned to him and smiled, "Hey dude chill out. You got me by your side." Heero said with a smile. Heero had said it in English and Will responded by nodding at him with a slightly forced smile, "I'm doing what I can man it's not easy being the new guy. More over it's not easy being the American." the young boy said as he walked down the road with his friend almost too the school he could see it coming up. He wouldn't be late at least.

Tomomi Katayama

Tomomi was feeling particularly grumpy this morning. She'd had plans, dammit! Not great plans, but still plans, you know? She'd figured there was at least another week before her parents would get on her back about attendance, but nope! She'd woken up this morning and found out that they'd phoned the school - phoned the school - and told them to make sure she stopped skipping class. Injustice, that's what it was.

She shook her head, kicking a stone off the path and into the bushes in frustration. Seriously, what was even the point? Nothing they learned even meant anything anyway. Not like she was gonna really need to know who the emperor was in the fifth century or whatever for the rest of her life.

Besides, she didn't wanna deal with the teachers today. Bet they'd be thrilled to see her too, wouldn't they? Yeah right. Only good thing about today would be seeing the expression on their face when she walked in to the classroom. And then they'd find something to shout at her about, and she'd argue back and get sent on a nice little walk to see the principal. It was just so predictable, that's why she hated it so much! She wasn't dumb - probably smarter than half the people in this dump - but she just couldn't be bothered!

She looked up at the path in front of her. There were a couple of guys walking together. One of them she vaguely recognised - they didn't talk, but she'd seen him around - but the other guy was new to her. Must've moved here. What kind of idiot chose to move to a place like Inaba, the town where nothing ever happened? At least wondering about the pair of them distracted her from thinking about the school.

Breaking into a jog, she overtook them and started casually walking backwards in front of them, speaking to the one that she vaguely recognised. What was his name again? "Hey there, uh... Neero? Peero? Whatever your name is." She smirked, making it obvious that she didn't even slightly care.

"Anyway, Beero, who's the new kid? Doesn't look like a freshman to me, unless he got held back a couple years." she said, nodding at him. She didn't want to be the only person in class that didn't recognise the new kid.

[vancexentan]

The two boys looked behind them as a girl ran up to Heero and Will; she started talking to Heero who simply grumbled at her appearence initially before saying hey. Will quietly turned away awkwardly unsure about who this girl was and he didn't want to say anything stupid to her either. The worst way to get off too a nice start at school was too say something weird too one of the female students. He hadn't really changed school a whole lot so he had been a part of the same group for a long time and he knew everyone. This girl was a complete stranger to him. "Beero? Really? What am I some sort of Sentai beer monster? It's Heero you dunce! You know like Hero except with an extra E." Heero told Tomomi as he looked over to Will too see if he wanted to introduce himself but Heero found out quick enough Will had no intentions of doing so. "Don't mind me friend he's a transfer student from America. Will is his first name and he prefers to be just called Will. He's an old friend of mine from way back. He wanted to see how things were here in Japan so he transferred here for a year. Don't mind him he's just quiet and he doesn't speak Japanese very well." Heero stated as he smiled over to Will confidently. Will breathed in and out quietly, "H-Hello my name is Will. N-Nice to meet you Miss." Will said slowly trying his best to get through the language barrier. Japanese wasn't easy on his tongue.

Minto Hanataba

Mint was pretty excited, first day of school and a new environment it seemed so much for him. He woke up extra early to prepare everything he might need though he wasn't sure what he would need in the first place, pencils and books seemed good at first but what about lunch like does he have to bring his own lunch or extra clothes if it rains. Maybe he was thinking this a bit too hard it was just his first day at school and he wanted to make sure he got everything right he didn't want to mess up already. His mom helped him prepare his stuff and told him the basic things but mostly try to have fun and make good friends which he would to really wanted to do.

Friends... he took a deep breath and told himself he can do this so with his bag he told his mom goodbye and left his home for school. He walked slowly taking his time to view the town, some would call it small or boring but there was some charm into it that Mint can totally see. Maybe after school do a little sightseeing and see what Inaba really has for him. The city was okay for him though he didn't miss it, this town seemed more calm and relax. Also there is a lot of nature around which is a plus for him though a bit more flowers would be nice.

One random though would the school be mad for him wearing the girl's uniform? Honestly he got to admit...he does look like a girl and he tried the guy's uniform before but it was just a bit to big for him also the girl's uniform was comfortable to wear. Again he must be thinking things to hard he should just let it be and relax it the first day usually no one gets in trouble on the first day....right? Mint shook his head again thinking to hard.

As he walked he looked at some people talking, two guys and one girl who was walking casually backwards. He walked a bit closer though he was shy to approach them, they looked like his age and was going to school so he wanted to ask them about it yet they looked like they were having a conversation and he didn't want to be the mean one to interrupt it. So he stayed a few steps behind just thinking to himself.

[akirashadow]

Akira had, for once woken up in time to at least be able to reach school on time. The boy rubbed his eyes tirelessly as he walked do the familiar streets on his way to school. Nothing ever changes, sames faces, same places, just another day. In a town where everyone knew everyone, even if one of them rarely spoke there was the occasional call out from vendors who recognised the boy. Though Akira would merely nod in acknowledgement, not to come off as completely ignorant to his elders.

His uniform was neatly worn, shirt tucked in at the waist. He held onto his backpack strap, flung over one shoulder as the bag swayed with each step. Some might consider his pace to be hastened, although for his height it was actually pretty casual for someone who needed to get somewhere. The boy sighed as he wondered why he made such an effort on the appearance front, he was far from a model student and he really didn't want to be associated as being one. He shrugged to himself as each step brought him closer to school.

He would walk past some students that he didn't know, well he didn't know most of them, as he made his approach. There was the occasional whisper between friends as he passed, for someone who'd only been in Inaba a year word had seemed to get around fast about why he was always so quiet. Though most of it were just rumours, only the school staff knew with certainty of his situation as he so rarely spoke to students even less so about his feelings and past.

There was one group that drew some attention, against the norm as the lead girl was walking backwards facing toward the other two. He recognised the face but he could not recall a name as he continued to glance at her. He would pass a girl, who seemed to be timidly pacing behind the group. As passed the two guys he would glance behind them, another familiar face, and a new one. Akira was fairly confident that he'd never seen that person before, he stared for a moment out of curiosity before raising a brow at the new face. Though he did not hold the pose for long as he turned his head to look where he was going once more continuing his trek to the school grounds.

[Lasrever]

Tomomi Katayama

Tomomi just rolled her eyes at Heero's comment. Calling her a dunce was a little annoying, but she just smiled and brushed it off, waving away his comments with a roll of her eyes. "Yeah, sure, whatever you say Beero." she snickered, looking at the new kid. So, an American? Again, she didn't get why he'd actually chosen on his own to go to somewhere like Inaba. There was nothing here, unless you were really into empty fields and family stores.

Still, she decided to be friendly to the American, even if he has really bad taste in towns. She listened to Will's introduction. She couldn't tell if his Japanese was bad or if he was just nervous. Eh. Her curiosity was satisfied now, but she supposed it was best to be polite to the American. With a grin, she replied to his introduction. "Will, huh? Cool." She walked in silence in front of the pair for a few seconds, noticing a shy-looking girl behind them, who she smiled cheerfully at. After a couple more seconds, she decided she was bored now.

Tomomi turned and started to walk away from the pair, happy with knowing who the new guy was. After she got a few metres ahead, she realised that she hadn't even introduced herself yet. She turned and called out loudly, drawing the attention of a couple people nearby. "Name's Tomomi Katayama, got that? Don't you dare forget it!" she laughed, but her cheerful expression faded as she approached the school doors, overtaking a black haired guy.

It wasn't gonna be that bad, right? Sure, none of the teachers even remotely liked her, and the subjects were boring, but... Who was she kidding. It'd be lucky if she made it to lunch without getting a lecture for something or other.

[vancexentan]

Heero simply gave Tomomi a annoyed glance when she called him that name again and rubbed his forehead as Will looked at his friend with a confused glance. Will was not sure if that was the norm around here or not but he sure as hell wasn't expecting a girl to act like an anime caricature. "Don't worry she's just the school's crazy chick. She's got a lot of energy but she shouldn't be that big of deal my man." Heero commented to his friend as Will just stared forward towards the school and nodded. "Fair enough I guess. Everyone's got their quirks." Will said in English as Heero simply rolled his eyes, "You need to keep dude. Besides sounds like she likes you big dude!" Heero teases as Will shoved him with his hand and resisted the urge to flip him off as the two made their way foward. Heero kept laughing all the way there but not loudly. However Will only could blush a little and glare at his friend. He wasn't too big on getting picked on even as a joke. Still Heero was a close friend of his and he'd let it slide even if it was just this once.

@akirashadow

As Akira approached the school everything was going as it usually did about this time of year most of the students were looking for their class rooms as stated on a board at the front of the school. There were a bunch of students there already looking for their classes or waiting for their friends. However one boy in particular was at the gate as Shiro Wanatabe was leaning on the gate as he spied out Akira and grinned. "Hey nerd boy finally able to walk to school without mommy? Good on you not wetting your pants anymore." shouted Shiro who snickered at him as he scratched his greasy black hair. His uniform was open and his white dress shirt was unbuttoned to the minimum acceptable length. His black pants were already dirty and his shoes were simple sneakers which were worn. His facial hair was cut but not very well making him appear even more scruffy. He was alone this time however his goons not around him as he picked up a nearby stick and chucked it at Akira. It was a small thing not big enough to even hurt anyone with but just big enough for it to be annoying to be pegged with. "Heads up chowder brains." Shiro taunted after he threw the stick.

[Destinyfailhorror17]

Minto Hanataba

As the girl left shouting her name which was Tomomi Katayama, cute name and she seems quite energetic though rude with the names but he got to admit Beero is a cute nickname. She let out a soft giggle just thinking how cute it really is, though he got note that that guy's name is Heero while the new guy just like him was called Will. Maybe he can talk to them now but looking at he two it seemed like they are really close no wait Heero said he was friends with Will for a long time so of course they are close.

Wait...he just listened to a probably private conversation! That was so bad of him to do. He shouldn't have done that it just so rude to listen to people's conversation while they don't know he was here well Tomomi smiled at her but they other two didn't know. Should he apologize right now? But would it be weird for him to suddenly pop by and apologize? Ugh he is thinking his too hard it just the first day.

He continued walking trying to think of a way to apologize for listening on the two but not look like an odd dork at the same time until he was at the school gate already and there was this scruffy looking guy and a guy he noticed that pass by him earlier. One word he can get from the scruffy guy...bully, it was obvious so with the whole no mommy or wetting the bed deal. Seriously that guy is just a jerk to say that but maybe he had a reason or a troubled past hat made him into a bully...great he is thinking to hard on this again!

"H-hey...don't s-sa...say such t-things..." Mint told the scruffy guy with much courage he had, well it wasn't much as his voice shook and his voice was quite soft to actually hear it. In someway he was like a dog with a tail between his legs, he shouldn't get involved but bullying someone is really bad and always best to stop it before it grows. As the scruffy guy threw the stick at the other guy he stepped in front hoping to catch it but instead got a stick right at his head. He fliched and stepped back as he rubbed his head from the throw. It was a small stick anyway not to cause pain but with Mint almost fragile state a lot of small things can hurt him. "Ow..."

[vancexentan]

"Alright I'm not sure what's more funny the fact that, that small stick actually hurt you or the fact that you got a set enough to try and defend someone squirt." Shiro grumbled as he walked up to Minto and looked down at him. Shiro was rather tall especially for a Japanese male his age. It wasn't that he was abnormally tall but he was definitely tall enough to look down on a lot of the kids. "You new around here runt? Or were you just invisible all these years? Whatever kid look I'm a good guy so I'll make a deal stumble off too class and don't screw with me and I'll forget about you telling me what to do." Shiro said as ruffled Minto's hair with a chuckle. Shiro smelt like garlic for some reason and while it wasn't pungent it definitely was noticeable. "OH WAIT! I get it you need this little dude to actually stand up for you is that it Akira? WOW I didn't think it was possible for you too actually lose any more balls than you already did." Shiro taunted with a chuckle.

[akirashadow]

Akira had thought for a change he might get Shiro the slip whilst eyeing the board for any changes in class assignment. That would prove to be wishful thinking as Shiro called out to him. Akira momentarily rolled his eyes, he had no need to humour that moron. However, he would turn his gaze eventually as it proved obvious that something was being launched in his general direction, anticipating the need for a possible side step, provided Shiro would actually throw straight. That was when the unlikely occurred as someone stepped in and Akira shook his head with a sigh, clearly a new kid who was yet to come to terms with the daily goings on at this school.

Akira fought back to urge to face up with Shiro, as he continued with his persistent taunting and now also picking on what would supposedly become his next victim in the line of victims. He didn't doubt what the outcome would likely be, the strange sense that that Shiro was an overgrown chihuahua with the generic temper issue, a chihuahua who had been savagely beaten with an ugly stick, and spent its entire life in a bush. From his experience with him, Shiro seemed to be more of a barker. "No posse to help you today..." Akira grumbled to himself.

Once Shiro had finished his daily routine of taunts Akira waited for the other kid to part ways from him. "Best to ignore, one day, he'll pick the wrong day." Akira spoke rather quietly, before looking to Shiro and shrugging. "People with balls don't need to shout and cause a scene..." Akira said with a sigh, it was actually drawing some attention. This wasn't exactly a comfortable situation for Akira as he turned away and disappeared into the school building with a stream of students, making his way to class.

[vancexentan]

"Who the fuck do I look like too you? Hashirama? I don't need a god damn posse to beat anyone's ass." Shiro said as he spit on the ground as he walked forward pushing Minto to the side as he looked over at Akira and merely shook his head. "You want proof? You come at me you little piece of trash." Shiro said with flat cold malice as he turned around and saw one of the old student represenatives looking over at the group with a frown and Shiro turned back to the two of them. "See that's why I'm not going to punch you right now. It's the first day of school and you girl friend here probably doesn't want to see you get decked either. So i'm going to class you two understudy runts stay out of my way. I won't tell you again." Shiro said as he turned around even if Akira taunted him further unless he flat out called him a dickless loser then he wouldn't respond or act out further.

Will and Heero had ignored all the commotion caused by Shiro and had gotten to the board by the time Shiro had pushed his way into the school itself. Heero looked over the list and quietly mumbled out names as he smiled and picked out the first class, "Your in room B-7 Will. Shouldn't be that hard to find. It's on the very end of the hall to the left after you go upstairs. I got class B-1 so I won't be with you but you should be fine." Heero told Will who was slightly worried about how he would fair on his own but he was confident he could handle it on his own for a bit as long as the teacher didn't talk too fast. "Thanks dude should we get to class?" Will asked Heero who shrugged, "We got a couple minutes so we can wait a bit if you want." Heero commented back as Will shook his head, "I'm going to class don't worry about me. I want to get settled in before everything starts."

[Lasrever]

Tomomi Katayama

Tomomi was checking the board, after having overtaken a few people on her way into the school. Class B-7, huh? Well, it was... A class? She didn't really know anyone in there, at least she didn't think so. Most of the people that she actually knew weren't even in classes half the time anyway. The good kids tended to avoid her, preferring to suck up to the teachers and polish their shoes or whatever they did in their class time.

To be honest, she could've gone up early, but her eyes narrowed as she glanced back at the entrance and saw Shiro picking on a couple of the people she'd seen on her way in. She kinda knew Shiro from the amount of time she'd spent skipping class - it was impossible to avoid the guy as much as she wanted to - and it would be fair to say that she didn't like him. He didn't seem to like her much either, probably 'cause she was one of the few people in the school who wasn't scared of him at all.

See, most of the people who skipped class were decent people, despite what the teachers would say. Like her, they just couldn't be bothered wading through all the tedious stuff they had to do in classes for what seemed like no reason. Shiro was a piece of work though, so she had no problem walking up to him as he turned away from the pair he seemed to have been picking on.

"Seems like you're just as much of a loser as last year, huh, Shiro? Picking on folks that won't fight back. I'm sure everyone's proud of you!" she said, voice dripping with sarcasm as she looked at him. Despite not liking each other, the two had never actually come to blows as far as she could remember. Still, he'd have a fight on his hands if he tried anything on her! Tomomi Katayama wasn't one to back down.

As long as his two lackeys weren't hanging about, she figured she could take him on anyway if she had to. Might as well make a point by standing up to him, even if she was making a bit of a scene.

[vancexentan]

Shiro topped mid walk as he turned to look at Tomomi and frowned at her with a disgusted look on his face. "I'm just doing what I got to do Tomomi. If you don't like it why don't you go and give that little shit Akira a little present. I'd figured you'd understand me a little by now. Whatever, is that all? I don't got time to deal with you right now why don't you go find Hashirama and try and see if he likes listening too someone preaching too him. I'm going to actually get to class and last time I checked that was Shiro-SENPAI too you you little piglet." Shiro grumbled at Tomomi. Shiro pushed his way into the hall for real this time making it clear he had no more intentions of dealing with people interrupting him further. Whatever the reason Shiro simply had no intention of getting along with anyone who didn't have the balls' to keep up with him and actually back it up. He looked down on Hashirama for it, he looked down on the students for it, and he spit on anyone who tried to get him to change his mind.

[Destinyfailhorror17]

Minto Hanataba

This was not going good at all, this guy is just like really tall and smelled like garlic and not the good garlic like the garlic bread but like really garlic, his hair was quite greasy too...he needs to wash it properly so it won't be that greasy wait...why is thinking about his hair he just insulted the other guy Akira again and told him to like back off and as much it would be great for him to do so he held that tiny bit of courage he had and stood there still not really doing anything but tying to show he had tough. Though he ended up more like a rabbit about to be eaten by fox type of deal.

Then he was pushed to the side and even if it was just a small push it wasn't cool to do at all. You don't push people who no permission it just not right at all. This Shiro guy is a real meanie for doing all of this. What does he want anyway from doing this? A laugh...meanie that is for sure. He wanted to tell him and say he shouldn't be doing all hose things but he can just tremble and whimper from the guys size...Oh why he had to be so small like a kid. Shiro calling him a squirt is pretty much true and now calling him girlfriend? This is to much for the first day.

He begged that there won't be any fighting he didn't want to end up in the middle of that but he did place himself into the situation so it is bound to happen it seems. Akira told that it brb eat to ignore the guy and right now that seems to be the best idea but he just throws sticks at people! That is very rude to do. "Sti....still...he is..."

Then the girl from earlier Tomomi came by and was so confident and talked this Shiro like she was a the heroine of the story. So much confidence it was so cool and Mint wished he could be the same one day. If he was like that in the first place then none of this would have happened. Now he is just there standing scared....As Shiro walked off he turned to Tomomi and thanked her for her help. He vowed his head and smiled shyly. "Tha-thank you...you looked so c-cool..." Mint couldn't help but to admire her strength for doing that it just cool. Then he turned to Akira and said sorry for causing him trouble even more, he got even called more names and made bigger enemies with that guy. "S-sorry to bother you.."

[Lasrever]

Tomomi Katayama

Instead of letting on that she was a little intimidated, Tomomi laughed as Shiro stormed off. "Big talk for the guy that's running away, Shiro." she muttered after a few seconds. Man, she'd hoped he'd have taken the bait, but it seemed like he wasn't gonna do any more than talk. Now what was she meant to do? Seemed like there was no other choice.

"Man, that sure is boring. Now I actually gotta go to class." she groaned in frustration, kicking a bottle down the corridor to express her annoyance. Speaking of which, she should probably actually go now. She prepared to go when one of the kids Shiro had been picking on walked up to her.

As she heard the kid thanking her, she looked over and rolled her eyes a little bit. "Look, don't thank me, alright? I don't like the way Shiro acts is all. No offence, but looking out for you guys didn't really come into it."

She shrugged. Looking at the time though, she figured she'd better head to her classroom. "I don't wanna be late, though. Already in enough trouble for attendance." she said to the kid as she turned and headed upstairs. She knew where the class was, passing the American kid on her way there, and pausing at the door. Class B-7.

Oh well, time to see the teacher's reaction to her turning up. This was probably going to end up as the highlight of her day, so she walked in with a cocky, self-satisfied smirk plastered on her face. Surprise!

[akirashadow]

As Akira walked the hallways it wouldn't be long before he'd encounter the nervous girl again, by which they'd caught up to him. "Don't apologise, guys a moron." Normally Akira wouldn't talk so soon to someone he'd never met before but it was a rather strange sense of momentary camaraderie. "Just try to stay out of his way, I can handle him myself if necessary." His second comment, although unintentional came off with a cold tone as he naturally dissuaded further conversation. Akira would give a small wave before he'd tug on his bag strap and jog upstairs, his height allowing him to naturally pace two steps at a time like it was normal.

"B-7...B-7..." He mumbled to himself as he tried to gain his bearings, glancing up and down the corridor before heading off in the direction of the class. A heavy sigh would leave the boys lips as he walked in the class a few paces behind another student. He thought he'd recognised them from earlier from the small glimpse he saw before it has disappeared into the class. His arrival had merely confirmed his thoughts seeing someone so frequently in such a small time frame felt rather odd. Almost as though it weren't merely coincidence... Akira shook his head to get the thought out his mind as he glanced about the class.

Most of the students that had already arrived were gossiping in their little class social cliches. Not much desiring that much company, Akira wasted no time in ignoring them and heading to the back of the class to pick a desk. Slowly scanning each one before taking on of the centre back desks, he desired not the glare of sunlight through the windows, or being associated as the little shit sat in the corner. Somewhat pleased with his choice Akira slung the bag off his shoulder onto the desk, rummaging its contents for the things he'd need along with a book to read when break would arrive. He then pulled the chair out taking his seat, slowly sinking as he slumped downwards into a more relaxed position as he glanced around the class once more. There wasn't anyone he particularly recognised, aside from the usual class skipper, oddly enough despite her lack of attendance she was the most recognisable one there. A small smirk grew on his face, before leaving in wake of yet another sigh. "Already wish this was over..." He grumbled as he tapped his fingers on the edge of the desk in boredom.

[vancexentan]

The teacher of class B-7 was Mr. Kumagera a teacher known for his simple and honest personality. It wouldn't be unfair to call him boring and by the book but it meant that kids got what they needed, and had someone to go too if they needed advice or help. He wasn't one to laugh or complain and he simply did things like a robot. He had simple cut brown hair that was thin and straw like and he wore a simple blue tie and white shirt. He had khaki pants and black dress shoes on as usual. In all he looked just like the average male in Japan. He looked down at Tomomi and blinked as she entered the room and simply checked off her name. "Hello Miss Katayama good morning too you. Please sit down in row 2 third seat." he said with a bored tone as he checked her name off the list with a blank stare. The other students in the class were either seated and looking through their phones for texts, or chatting with other students about the new year or hobbies. Will sat in the middle 4th row 5th seat and he was twiddling with his fingers.

He wasn't too interested in interacting with anyone because of his bad Japanese. He couldn't really effectively understand what they were saying half they time. It wasn't a race thing or a cultural thing it was just...he sucked at speaking Japanese. He had communicated with Heero in japanese before but he never really spoke it too often before arriving in Japan. However he couldn't help but feel like this would be the best chance too do so. Still Will wasn't too interesting in speaking too anyone in general. He just...wasn't that social in truth. However he couldn't help but hear the boy next to him mumble that he was already sick of school or something like that. "Hey...are....you...ok? Do you need the cla....cl...class rep?" Will stuttered out in crude japanese as he looked at the boy next to him. "Sorry for my...bad japanese....still learning."

Minto Hanataba

Mint had no idea what to say after that, Tomomi was just like no need to thank her since she just didn't like Shiro and the way he acts and Akira just said to avoid Shiro and things will be okay well that is what he is getting at least. His tone of voice though was...cold but then he waved...again not sure how to response to that. Next time he won't cause the two anymore trouble that for sure. "O-okay..." He nodded to the both of them as he watched them walked to class making him stay there a bit dazed. Well that happened and he should go to class too better late than not be there at all.

What was it again....B-7? He sighed, oh well he just have to go there and see what would happen. Mint scratched his head and let out a tired sigh, what a good start for a first day. Met the bully of the school, cussed trouble for two people and he might have forgotten his own class.

He walked through the corridors of the school, he got to admit this school seems quite nice as it has that whole homely feel to it. After finding classroom B-7 he went in until he saw the teacher already there...oh boy is he late?

He knows he took a bit of time to get to class as he wanted to see the school more since well first time in an actual school by did he took a lot of time to be late already? He stood at the entrance unsure what to do, go in? Just go in and sit down or like go in and wait for the teacher to say something before sitting down....hhhmm... this is a tough one to think. Without thinking he just walked I. Thinking about what he should and not realizing that he just went in there with no problem.

Tomomi Katayama

Kumagera wasn't too bad, Tomomi guessed. There were worse teachers in the school at least, he probably wouldn't bother her too much. She took a seat at the window, near the back of the room where she hopefully wouldn't be called on that often. She sat down, leaning back in her chair and putting her feet up on the desk. A couple of students gave her funny looks but she ignored them and stared out of the window, trying to find shapes in the clouds.

This was why she didn't like classrooms. She just had to sit there and think about stuff, or learn the useless knowledge the teachers tried to fill their brains with. Humming a tune under her breath, she kept looking out of the window, daydreaming about being somewhere else where things actually happened. It helped pass the time. Besides that, spending her time looking out of the window would help make it clear to Kumagera that she didn't care about whatever he had to say to her. If he got the message quick then the days might go by just a little faster.

She couldn't wait for lunchtime. Wasn't a big eater or anything, but sitting still for this long in the class wasn't Tomomi's style, you know? She'd pay enough attention to pass her exams - maybe - but beyond that was unlikely.

Akira wasn't exactly having a lucky day, in his eyes at least. What was with all the pestering? From his slumped down position Akira turned to look at the latest person to try and strike up conversation with him. Wait... this was that unfamiliar face from that morning. "No..." Akira spoke quietly whilst shaking his head softly. "That won't be necessary. Transfer eh?... Good luck." Akira said with a smile which faded almost as quickly as it had appeared. Whether his slow quiet speech had come across as an act of kindness, or an act of being an ass didn't really bother him.

He turned back to facing the front of his class as he reached to his books and dragged them towards him, scanning over the front covers, before keeping one in hand and pushing the others away once more. He flick it open and flick the pages quickly with a sign before putting the book back down once more. He wouldn't have time to begin reading it now. The student tapped the desk once more in boredom, before finally folding to a small portion of curiosity as he turned to the new guy once more. "So how long you sticking it out, a term? A year?" Akira gritted his teeth as if he'd feel sorry for the guy if he'd say the latter. Inaba was a dull place to transfer to, something Akira had experienced firsthand. He would occasionally glance round to make sure other students were to busy with their own personal affairs then to pay attention to them, the act of Akira speaking in length to anybody could oft be seen as a novelty.
