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.

I just had to rewrite all the speaking lines of my last post, because I forgot to give Ren his accent and nearly posted it as if he's uncultured city swine, which of course would've been unacceptable...

Igarashi Renzo



"Oh nah!" Ren said, waving his hands in surprised denial at the fact that the other guy was apologising. "Weren't your fault, I jus' wasn' watchin' where I was goin'! Here, lemme give you a hand."

Without even waiting for a response, he grabbed the kid by both shoulders and lifted him back up to his feet with surprising ease. It was only when he stepped back from this that he noticed the boys uniform.

"Oh hey! You're goin' to Fujioka too, huh? Wonder if we're in the same cla-"

However, before he could keep speaking, he heard another voice, and turned to see another boy running up to him.

"Oh, hey!" He said, laughing nervously."I think so. Well, I hope so, at least. I'd hate to accidentally hurt anyone on my first day."

He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, before turning back to look at the newly named Ryuuto.

"Still, seems like you're made a' some pretty strong stuff!" He said with a chuckle, this one a little less nervous. "I must've been running full speed back there, but you're talking' fine like nuthin' even happened!"

And then he backed away slightly so he could speak to both of them.

"Anyway, I guess we're gonna be seein' a good amount've each other over the next few years, so 's nice to meetcha both!" He said, trademark slightly too big smile on his face. "Name's Igarashi Renzo, but you guys can jus' call me Ren! Hope ya don' hate me too much for knockin' ya over that we can't be friends!"
Alright, now the situations left open for whichever poor bastard is willing to put themselves in that position. Time for Rens quest to at least befriend every character in the RP to begin!
Igarashi Renzo

5:03 am




Ren took a deep breath in as he stood at the top of the steps to the shrine, looking down over the town he'd only moved to just a few days ago.

"Ya know what?" He mumbled to himself. "'s a little crowded, but I think I this place might be pretty nice!"

Now, for many people, considering a city like Kurosuoba to be crowded would seem pretty weird. It was actually kind of rural when you took everything into consideration, but Ren had a bit of a different view. It made sense, considering he was from quite possibly the literal middle of nowhere. Everything was crowded compared to the small village in the mountains he moved from.

There was also the fun little way he seemed to be some kind of magnet for small transportation, with a grand total of four bicycles crashing into him since the move. That might've impacted his views on the subject, just a little…

However, before he could get swept up in any more of his deep thoughts, the opening theme from Anohana sounded from his pocket, prompting him to dig around in his pockets to pull out his shiny new totallynotoldanddented smart phone. Merely a second after looking at the screen, his eyes widened in terror, as he saw the alarm for 5:50, when he'd originally planned to wake up. Yeah, it was a pretty ridiculous, almost decadent sleep in, but if he was ever going to experience sleeping in, he wanted to go all the way! However, now he was halfway across the city from his house, having gone on the walk when he could barely even sleep at all. He also wasn't wearing his school uniform, hence why the distance to his house even mattered.

"AaaaaaaaAAAAAAHHH!!! He shrieked, deciding for whatever stupid reason that the best choice here was to dash down the steps. Naturally, he lost his balance. However, due to the angle, he managed to actually keep on his feet, in a perpetual state of falling forward, until he managed to reach the bottom. He face planted then, of course, but this was hardly the first time he'd fallen down a mountain. After barely a moment, he was back on his feet and running. After about twenty minutes of sprinting, Ren finally stepped into his sisters apartment, gasping for air.

For her part, Igarashi Mari simply glanced at Ren out of the corner of her eyes, before returning back to her breakfast.

"Out for a walk?" She asked casually, as Ren rushed into his room.

"Couldn't fall back ta sleep!" He called back quickly. "Got too excited about the whole real school thi-... Guh... GAAAHHH!"

He wasn't entirely sure why he couldn't fit the shirt over his head at this point. He figured he might actually end up rushing a little, what with his extended sleep in, so he'd planned to leave his shirt buttoned up so he could just slide it on in the morning. Now he was beginning to wonder if that was such a good idea. Maybe... Just maybe... He was a little too fat for it to that plan...

"Ren, is it the collar or a sleeve?"

He paused, before feeling around at the opening above his head, and adjusting his shirt to put it on properly.

After he finished dressing, he peeked out nervously, only for his fears to be confirmed by the smug expression on his sisters face.

"Oi, nee-chan, please."

"Fine, you're safe 'till you get home." She said, before pointing to the toaster. "Anyway, I made you some toast while you were trying to get dressed, so you don't starve to death while you run."

"I wouldn' starve to death, just emaciation and near death."

"Well, either way, you'd better hurry. If you don't leave soon, you might only be an hour early, and what will your classmates think about you then?"

"Ah, right! I don' want 'em to think I'm some kinda delinquent! Thanks for the toast, nee-chan! I'll see ya later!"

And then he was running again, moving at a speed that really shouldn't have been possible for someone as large as him. However his extra weight did prove to impede him before too long, taking the form of sudden, ravenous hunger.

Actually, I didn't make any lunch for today, did I? This is gonna be all I have to live off 'till I get home!

And with that terrifying thought in mind, he quickly put the toast into his mouth, holding it there as he ran.

Huh, ya know, isn't this that thing anime heroines do right before they run into the main chara-

And then he was falling, a small part of his brain registering that he'd bumped into something.

Or someone.

However, that wasn't quite as surprising as the small "Kyaa!" he let out as he toppled over. He remained on the ground for a second, dazed and trying to figure out what had just happened. However, once he realised what was going on, he practically shot up to try and help whoever he'd probably accidentally steamrolled.

"Oh crap, you ok? Sorry I ran into ya, I'm kinda du-ooooohhhnowhy..."

And despite his worry for whoever he'd hit, he found his gaze stuck on the piece of toast, which had landed face down on the concrete

"Whelp, there goes my chance of survivin' the day..."
Looks like you already have a pretty massive cast, but I'd like to just throw my hat into the ring anyway.
"Damn it…" Giovani said, before eventually nodding. "Yeah, a hospital's gonna be awful, and we're probably gonna have to… well, we'll probably be going to a pretty dark place just to make sure someone sees us…"

For a moment, he appeared conflicted, but it was only a few moments before he came to a conclusion.

"You, uh, probably shouldn't come with me. I get the feeling things are gonna get… edgy…"

Good idea, make it funny! That'll keep you calm and notlosingyourgoddamnminded! Or maybe you could try not being a stupid dipshit instead…

"Alright, never mind, not joking now. Not appropriate. Listen though, it could get bad. Probably really bad. If you come, you might end up dying… Or you might end up killing… It'd hardly be the first time I've had that on my conscience, but you two shouldn't have to go through that, at least not yet. It can kinda mess you up a little…"

Al too was in no mood for jokes. In fact, he was finding himself in a position that scared and confused him, even more than the rest of the whole ordeal had.

"I think a little bit of me is gonna die just by saying this, but I think I actually agree with him." He said, turning to Na. "Everything thats gone wrong over the last few days has been related to him in some way. Hell, he's being chased by, what, the mafia?! If we stay with him, we'll die. No if, just when. That's why we've gotta leave now, when he's actually giving us the chance."
Hey, sorry I've been gone so long, shits been busy. I'm gonna try and get a post out tomorrow though, just need to reread everything.
@Zoro
Bah, this isn't rotting away yet! I'm pretty sure the only reason it even slowed down was because everyone was waiting for me to post, while I was delaying it until I could get good enough at this new job to not drop dead whenever I make it home. But now that I've accepted that it'll never happen, I'll get more posts out, and everything'll go back to normal!
Ok, so another candidate for Rens best friend in the universe... The tournament shall begin soon...
@Nano
Well, he won't actually see her in a rival, at least in anything other than the friendliest sense. It's just that he's also kind of chuunibyo-ey, so depending on how it goes, he may declare her 'his glorious, eternal rival' or something like that.
