The nerve of this guy! Had she hit some sort of personality switch on accident when he hugged her? Even with him acting like a total jerk, she still couldn't help but find him slightly charming...no! With a small, irritated glare she stared up at him. "Oh Shiro-kun, if you wanted to get me on my knees all you had to do was ask." The devilish look in her hazel eyes only added to the sarcastic, teasing nature of what'd she just said, and she figured she might as well give him a taste of his own medicine. The line? Probably something she'd skimmed over in one of her romance novels, but even so she fumbled as she took her phone from her bag and dropped it in his hand. "I threw yours because I couldn't get it to stop beeping, so yes, you can use mine." she grumbled. She found her attention focused on Leo, who seemed so childishly oblivious to all that was happening that she couldn't help but envy him. Hopefully nothing too disastrous would happen to ruin that sort of innocence...
Ah, so this guy was a Brit! He did seem a little less out of place than she did, but considering she'd traveled all the way from France to get here, and him Great Britain, it didn't seem so odd anymore. She let a small, easy-going smile show as she toyed with the can of chili in her hand, and gave a small laugh at the stranger's question. "Ah, yeah, it's good stuff. Think of it like a meat, bean, and tomato based porridge of sorts. This one isn't spicy at all, but I knew a woman who'd make it so hot your tears drippin' into your bowl was part of the seasoning." Aera saw him digging about his own rucksack, and she let out another laugh at his nickname for her. "Well, Youhei, I'd like to say I'm a bit more red than a carrot. My name's Aera, and we can talk about a price on the way to the local bar. It's the only place that has alcohol and I've been needing a glass for about a week. Better yet, if you've got coin on hand...buy me a drink and i'll give you dinner."
Before she could start bantering with her new acquaintance, a strange man had somehow managed to come before them without her noticing. 'Where did this guy come from?' Youhei seemed to resume his neutral demeanor she'd been welcomed with, and she too kept herself as lax and harmless as possible. People like this one tended to think of the womenfolk as weak, and expected little from them. Some of them even viewed people as property, and she'd even heard whispers that there were thugs kidnapping young kids for some sort of criminal lord who was building his own personal brothel. Sick as it was, she couldn't find herself to be entirely surprised, and she was the one who'd suggested to the Head of Town that the living quarters needed to be guarded at night. Youhei's voice rung out, and she stifled a silly look at the words he'd spoken, though it was a good sign for her to keep her own mouth shut and see what happened.

Ah, so this little fellow belonged to a not-so-bad looking guy. She'd seen her fair share of menfolk, travelers or denizens, and she had to say he was one of the better looking ones she'd seen yet. 'He looks tired, and that's a pretty gun he has. Almost as pretty as his persona. Would be best not to find myself staring into the barrel of that thing.' She thought to herself before raising her hand in response to his greeting. "Evenin'." she responded easily, obviously sizing him up with her blue eyes. "You're in luck, stranger. I just so happen to be a trader. What exactly are you lookin' for?" Her attention turned back to the cute little fellow dancing around her head, though she wasn't reckless. She'd do good to keep this stranger in her sights.
She could see in the small, almost unnoticeable movements, the small slouch, and the bags under his eyes that he was tired. Probably hungry too...damn, why'd she always have to be kind? After a small stretch and a quick glance of her surroundings, she deemed herself somewhat safe and then spoke. "Let me guess, you're aching for a meal. It just so happens.." She took a moment to fish out the can from the inner pouch of her backpack before closing it and slinging it back on."...that I have a can of chili I could spare, for a price. Depends on what you have to offer." 'Or whether or not you'll try to kill me for it. Hope he's not one of those kind.' Her own persona, Cerberus, growled in response. She could feel his need to break free of her mind, to make himself known and intimidate this man before her, but she resisted. Better to wait and see what happened.

When Shirogane shook off her hand after glaring up at her from behind his bangs, Akira couldn't help but feel like she'd done something wrong. Oh god, what if she offended him? It was way out of line to hold his hand, though she'd done it to have something to grab on. Everything around her seemed unreal, and at that moment Shiro was the only thing that she could reach out and touch, but here he was pulling away from her and she just--
Wait, what? Her face instantly flushed and her eyes widened as Shiro pulled her against him. Her heart started beating harder than before, and she felt like she couldn't breath. Ohmygosh, ohgod he's hugging me, oh god oh godwhatdoido. The last time she'd had a boy hug her was...wow, she couldn't honestly remember. But as Shiro murmered awkwardly comforting words into her ear, she felt like she was going to melt from all the embarrassment she felt. She should...be happy? How did one act after such a random act--no, how did one act with this madness going on? Being hugged was nothing in comparison to the field of coffins they'd ran through, and here she was freaking out at the most normal thing of her night. The moment didn't last long as she heard the english boy come up on them, waving what looked like an evoker--no, it couldn't be an evoker-- over his head like it was some sort of toy. Whatever Shirogane was going to tell her had been deafened, but she couldn't find it in herself to be annoyed.
However, she did focus a sharp glare at Shiro when he commented on "clingy women". "A-as if I should be afraid of you! I had to tug you along because I..I didn't want to go alone! And...and you promised!" she was becoming a stuttery mess as she suppressed the urge to punch her friend in the arm, and instead she stepped away before she placed her own evoker to her temple. After firing the trigger, she felt a soft rush of energy as Unicorn appeared in front of her, and in response the beast pawed at the ground with a snort. "Oh, stop acting so annoyed. I...just wanted to make sure you were rested, we had to do alot of work the last time you were with me." Unicorn gave another soft huff as he pushed his nose into her open palm, and with that he dissipated.
After overhearing Shirogane's question to his own persona, Akira quipped, "Well, that's easy, they're on the train. The question is how far away they are...and...oh god, what if the train crashes?!" Another look of horror passed her face, and she finally took a moment to look upon the boy named Leo, who currently had some large bird above his head. "W..what?! where did he get that evoker? And a persona?! And..wha......?" Nope, no point in questioning anything that was going on this night. She just needed to focus on making sure everyone was ok and get everyone home safe.

Pfffffffft, so you WANT me to punch you?! Could you even imagine someone like Ikeda trying to punch Shiro? She'd probably break her wrist or bruise her knuckle...or something. BUT IF YOU INSIST. edit: posted and nope didn't punch you. Having one of those WTF moments where nothing makes sense but you don't question it. AKA, ochem2, you just don't question how half of those reactions happen, you just gotta know that they happened. yaaaaaay.
wait i actually clicked those hiders.
just why

lol @ not wanting to deal with "paperwork" for scholarships. Gun up, kid. Free money is the best money, even if you have to put effort into it. It's a much better option than trying to sign student loans. If you can't afford to pay for school, have you tried applying for your FAFSA to see if you can't get finaid anywhere? If not, the military is a good choice, they'll sign you on, send you to school and keep you for however much you owe em for school. My friend has a 6-year contract atm.
As far as JROTC out of high school doing something for you, I'm afraid it doesn't do much I think. The only time i've heard of a "rank boost" from ROTC aka college program. The only thing 4 yrs of JROTC does for you is net you a possible scholarship from the program and eligibility to the ROTC program in whatever college you go to (if they have one). Only thing with the college program is that once you're in it, you're basically signing on to the military and you'll get put in after you graduate as an officer iirc (don't quote me on this part, i know for a fact that you have to join the military if you are in ROTC.)
edit: ey the military thing isn't entierly a scam. They're actually being picky about who gets to join since they've been cutting back. They will find any reason to drop you or not let you come back in which is why Vena is right. Not a smart deal to try and hop over the white line, y'know? And maybe they might not let you go to school then make you enlist...but i do know that there are soldiers in my uni who are there to get a degree, then enlist as an officer. Last i heard was you actually had to have your paper before they'd give you the rank.
