Current Man, I remember those last few statuses sounding funnier when I was writing them... Is this what aging does to people?

I eat negativity and shit out hopes and dreams. Like a tree, but for pessimism.

Good news, I'm not failing out of my cooking course tomorrow! Bad news, it's only because I nearly sliced a chunk off my finger practicing for it and needed stitches.

It's days like today that I truly believe this ADHD is both a blessing AND a curse.

So could I be Hugh Jackmans younger son?
Alright, finally got that intro post up. Hope it's not too trash!
Igarashi Renzo


While the rest of the world was doing important stuff, Igarashi Renzo was nestled under his blankets, a brand new laptop in front of him and lighting up the small cavern he'd created.

And he was silently bawling his eyes out.

"Crap! Get up Ren! Quickly!" His sister, Igarashi Mari, shouted as she burst into his room, her hair disheveled.

In response, Ren poked his head out from under the blankets, tears streaming down his face.

"Nee-chan..." He hiccuped. "Menma just passed on Nee-chan..."

"I don't know who that is, and I don't care!" Mari said, yanking the blanket off the crying giant. "You only have twenty minutes before you need to be at school! Hurry up and get ready!"

At that, Ren's eyes grew even wider than his sisters, and he leapt off the mattress with a panicked shout.

"Just get dressed!" She continued, running from the room. "You haven't got time for a proper breakfast, but you can take a piece of toast!"

"Thanks Nee-chan!" He shouted in response, almost getting his head stuck in his shirt before finally managing to pull it on properly. A few moments later, he was finally dressed, albeit not very neatly. He quickly grabbed his bag and sprinted from the room, snatching the toast his older sister held out for him on the way to the door.

"Try to make some friends!" She called after him, before seeming to realise her own mistake and correcting herself. "And don't scare them away by accident!"

As he ran through the now mostly empty backstreets around his sisters house, he did what any self respecting high schooler was contractually obligated to do, at least if they were running to school with a piece of toast hanging from their mouth.

Introduce themselves to their imaginary audience through an internal monologue.

Hi! My name is Igarashi Renzo! I just moved here from the small mountain town of Yukimori, and now I live with my big sister! I've only been here for a few days, but I'm about to start my first day at Fukushima Uesugi Senior High. If things go well, I'll make a bunch of friends, become a little smarter, and maybe, just maybe, meet someone special!

As he ran, he timed his monologue perfectly so he'd cross another road when the word romance flitted through his mind, thinking that perhaps he might actually bump into a cute girl and start his high school days right!

He got hit by a scooter.

But hey, it says something about his optimism that, upon realising what had just happened, his first thought was something along the lines of 'At least it wasn't a car!'

A little stunned, he quickly got up and ran over to the driver of the scooter, who watched in horror as the giant boy approached him. However, instead of beating the crap out of him like he'd been expecting, the man was surprised when Ren simply looked at his face in the scooters mirrors.

"Phew, I was worried I might be bleeding." He said, deciding to ignore the sizeable black eye he'd gotten when he hit the ground. "Now that would've been embarrassing to try and explain! Thanks for letting me use your mirror mister!"

And then he sprinted off again.

At this point, he figured he probably wouldn't make it to class before it started, but hopefully he wouldn't be too late, right?

Thankfully, he managed to dash through the school gates just as he heard the bell, and he dashed towards the class his sister had told him he'd be in, 1A.

Unfortunately, Ren is an idiot, and one that came from a two room school, at that. Even then, it's hardly an excuse to take a full five minutes to find a class, especially after running past it twice before finally realising.

However, when he finally did realise, he wasted no time in flinging the door open and running in.

"I'M SORRY I'M LATE!" He shouted, somehow still smiling despite his bruised and battered appearance. "MENMA PASSED ON AND I GOT HIT BY A SCOOTER!"
Hey, sounds fun. Any room for an extra hero?


"Oh, Rocko…" Kaito said, the tone in his voice betraying his surprise and excitement. "I… I actually don't think I do…"

And then he lifted the stack of firewood over his shoulder with surprising ease, which was weird considering there were some big pieces of wood in there, and turned to Hiroko, finally revealing his wide-eyed, shocked expression.

"I… think I might have superpowers…"

And it was only then, when he said it to another person, that he realised it wasn't just his brain playing tricks on him. He, even being the skinny little toothpick of a human being that he was, was able to lift enough wood to put him on par with a heavyweight wrestler.

"I think I might have superpowers!" He shouted again, this time with a steadily growing grin. "How am I doing this?! I don't have the muscles for this!"

He blinked for a moment, coming back to his senses when he realised she hadn't finished talking.

"Oh, right, yeah. The lighter probably will come in handy. Thanks Rocko! But now… Now I'm intrigued… How did I get super strong? Was it to do with whatever brought us here? And the real kicker, is is possible that the rest of you might have powers as well?"

And then he started walking back to the shrine, still in a state of surprise over how easily he could carry all that wood.

"Anyway, yeah." He said. "I'll be fine with all this wood. We should probably get back inside though. Don't wanna get stuck outside once the sun is down, after all!"

"I was thinking more along the lines of baking it like mudbrick, but sealing it might work better!" Tsubaki shouted, running around the creature. "I can keep track of it using the tremors in the earth it makes with its steps, so I'll keep it distracted! Just do what you need to do!"

And then he made some hand signs, before kicking up a a chunk of rock and jumping onto it. As soon as his feet made contact with the rock, it began to propel itself along the mud at incredible speeds. All the while, he did his best to agitate the golem by calling up earth pillars, ramming them into the golem.

However, he knew he wouldn't be able to keep this up for long. He had some pretty awesome chakra reserves, sure, but he was also using some pretty intensive techniques. He figured he'd have… Oh, maybe five minutes of continuous use of them, probably less if he started using the big guns again, or god forbid, Earth Hand jutsu. He made one last strafe, getting far closer to the golem this time, and used his staff to kick up the beginnings of what he quickly turned into another, more solid Earth Wave jutsu. Just as the wave engulfed it, he skidded back up the wave, sending a couple of pillars down from the top directly through the golem.

Of course, he doubted he was doing much actual damage. He was mainly trying to keep its attention focused on him while Nagi prepared. Speaking of which…

"Nagi, I don't know if Ill be able to keep this up much longer! I hate to rush you, but whatever you're planning, now would be the time!"
@Sola
Wait, crap, not middle, I meant back row window seat. I have no idea why I said middle, except maybe I was too tired and the words sound vaguely similar...
I forget, but did I already claim the protagonist seat for Ren? Because if I haven't already, then back row middle seat.
I'll try to get a post out either tonight or tomorrow.

Edit: Ok, so things got kinda hectic over the last few days, and my plan to post ended up failing miserably. However, tomorrow I've got a roadtrip, so I'll have plenty of time in the car to focus purely on finishing my post, and then I should be able to put it up when we get there, so yeah, here's hoping.
