Mikhail Suburov-Tachibana

Mikhail managed to school himself into calmness as a metaphorical calamity happened; Alice was now looking at Nico with evident interest, and was clearly trying to seduce him. On the one hand, it would probably be best for Nico to end up with a girl, because it's what will make him happy, sexuality-wise. But, that came with the caveat that it had to be the right kind of girl, not people who are clearly lying to get into his pants.

Oh, my, Nico's turning to me, asking me for my own response, Mikhail realized. What do I do? I can't give the girl carte blanche to seduce and use Nico, but at the same time, I have a feeling that if I reveal my suspicions of said girl too early, we'd make an enemy that was willing to seduce someone else - maybe that bullying redhead - to get revenge on the both of us. Besides, Nico would not like being the center of a quarrel between the girl and me.

So in response, Mikhail gave a slight nod to Nico, one meant to convey both agreement and caution. He would then say, on his own:

"Alice, it would be a pleasure to be friends with you. After all, the more we band together, the more we'd be bully-proof, right?" But if you hurt Nico, I am going to make sure that once I acquire a 'smiting' ability, I will expose you as the lying, seducing, manipulative shrew you are.

But right now, I will protect you, because I am obligated to.

Mikhail Suburov-Tachibana

There was a reason Nico found it easy to think badly of other people, to think of them meeting accidents, dying, or otherwise being greivously harmed. And Mikhail was facing that reason. Still faintly glowing, the russian boy would face Alice, the stink from her increasing with the secretly arrogant lies she was telling. Mikhail didn't know everything, but she was wearing a mask, a mask that concealed something, and quite frankly, Nico would have a field day in his mind taking apart someone who would lie and use her feminine charms to try and gain the protection of people. Granted, Mikhail was obliged to protect those who were relatively innocent even if he didn't like them and they were only innocent in a few aspects of their lives.

He would then say:

"My name is Mikhail Suburov-Tachibana. What's your name?" He wasn't going to confront Alice about her lying just yet. "And, considering the amount of bullying that apparently goes on at this school, all right - but you will have to be on my left side; my friend, Nico, is going to be on my right." The Russian gestured to Nico.

"Would that all right?" he said, his smile genuine. He was going to give her his protection, though he didn't trust her.

@Letter Bee

I still see a lot of references to "the Russian"

@banjoanjo

Edited further.

Four Winds

@Letter Bee

Yeah, I guess.

@banjoanjo

Edited.

Hahahaha! Yeah i thought of something like that as well. To be fair, if Bee's character happen to tell Akasha something about her reeking of crime, she would just answer something along the lines of "There's no crime when you are to abide by the laws of the jungle".

I'm finding it funny to read everyone's first impression of the school and its personnel. They are all like "what a pain in the ass this place is going to be", while the the only ones to seemingly have fun through all this are Kyou and Akasha, the two most over-energetic ladies.

And poor Nico. On top of all of his troubles, now he has to cope with a clingy boyfriend, hahaha

@Riffus Maximus

Heh.

That said, though, if Akasha tries to be Nico's girlfriend, Mikhail would reluctantly - very reluctantly - accept it.

@Letter Bee

I don't think it's possible to tell that Donovan is Russian on first glance. He just looks like a normal white dude.

@banjoanjo

Should I edit?

And is my post otherwise good?

Four Winds

@Letter Bee@Scio Ah, alright, thanks for the confirmation. I almost thought that he's talking about someone else at first, but after rereading, I decided to confirm it first.

Would there be any difference in how Mikhail looked at her now (like, looking judgmental or something similar) or would there be nothing of sort?

@Nanashi Ninanai

@Nanashi Ninanai@Letter Bee Nanashi has a point; just create some sort of visual indicator or medium when he uses his abilities. Everyone has one.

@January Really, its fine on my screen.

@Scio

Nanashi didn't ask for that, she asked if Mikhail looked judgemental or not.

And, Mikhail's visual indicator is that he tends to glow silvery-white whenever he uses his abilities. In this case, though, he would be perpetually (faintly) glowing...

@Nanashi Ninanai

Nothing of the sort, just an aside glance.

Warning, though, the stink would intensify should she think Mikhail was looking at her in awe or something.

@Nanashi Ninanai@Letter Bee I believe Mikhail's Presumption of Innocence is relatively subjective and would be based off his own morals. I mean, Alice couldn't be that bad, right?

@January I too get the occasional brain farts from time to time.

@Scio

That works.

Four Winds

@Letter Bee Just confirming, when Mikhail refers to "the one in jacket who stanks", was he referring to Alice?

@Nanashi Ninanai

Yes, Mikhail is referring to Alice and her 'I think I'm a Chosen One' thing (not that he knows that).

Four Winds

Yes, I and January did agree that Nico and Mikhail were penpals before the start of the RP
