Kisaragi High School(In-Character)

The student laughed as her teacher scrambled to hide his bad habit from her, panicking as if she was one of his superiors.  Of course, no one would have expected someone like her to have a key to the rooftop. The red haired girl put a hand on her hip, looking at the man with teasing amusement. 


"What did I say about that 'miss' shit Kazuo?" 


She looked around the roof, knowing full well that there was no one else there. There never was and there likely never would be when she came here. It was honestly surprising that Kazuo was there. 


"Last I checked we weren't in class."
 
Kazuo lightly flicked her in the forehead and laughed


"Language please... Miss Tsubaki" he said emphasizing 'Miss'. Knowing Tsubaki wouldn't tell on him he took out another cigarette from its custom case and lit it, "we may not be in class but we are at school."


"You do know students are not allowed up here don't you?" Kazuo ruffled her hair in a playful manner, "I wont tell if you keep my little habit a secret."

Aiko was reading her novel casually as she sipped Liisi's tea. She sat at the student council chair and just read as if nothing is happening. There was a deafening silence in the student council room as Aiko with her trademark blank expression read on with no care. She was awaiting Kotori's arrival despite it being 4:30 PM and most students have either went home are are participating in club activities.
 
Mahiru Hyouka


Mahiru had left Asai after a while and had said goodbye. She was bored and had nothing to do. Nothing was happening in the classroom, so she was gonna head to the roof, but thought better of it. Nah, can't bother getting in trouble again. She sat down in her chair and waited for something good to happen.

Kotori Furuya


Kotori had gotten bored and decided to go in search of Katsuro. Maybe they could talk about their date. The thought of it made her a little bit nervous.

"I haven't gotten caught yet have I?" Rae said with a smile, pulling the key from her pocket and flashing it before putting it back where she got it from. With a sigh she sat back against the concrete, setting her lunch in front of her as she looked up at her favourite teacher. "You don't have to be so formal all the time. It's stuck up and boring." She commented, leaning her head back against the chain link fence surrounding the rooftop. She didn't really care for formalities, but since he got yelled at by some ignorant kid he's been boring in class. She didn't want her grades to slip because he wasn't making lessons engaging or fun anymore. 
 
Kazuo smiled knowingly and patted her head again


"Sorry Tsubaki" he said finally giving up to the girl, "I know my lectures are a bit... boring... But I know you'll still do well" Kazuo flicked the cigarette onto the ground and put it out with his foot. Kneeling down, Kazuo took the butt of the cigarette and emptied it into the trash can.


"Once I get some things settled, my lectures will return to normal."  he said taking out his lunch, it was a simple lunch bought from the convenience store, "Sorry my classes aren't as interesting as they used to be"


Smelling his cheap lunch Kazuo frowned at the weird smell coming from it. Sighing, he threw it out and looked through his phone to see where he could order lunch from.

The man was finally done trying to be formal with her thankfully; such annoying titles and names were one of the many things she despised about her fathers family and how they treated her every time they saw her. When she visited the servants would always address her as 'Miss Rae' or something along those lines even after she had hit one of them in displeasure and commanded that they stop. Rich people were always so stuck up they didn't even care about their staffs health. 


 


"What kind of things?" Tsubaki asked the older man as he looked at his lunch and ended up throwing it out. She had brought a bento from home today, since she had had some extra time that morning. When she saw him pull out his phone she sneaked a peek to see him looking through a list of local places that did take out. Blinking, a small amused grin on her face, she reached into her bento and picked up a tofu puff she had marinated in spices and sauce, with a pair of chop sticks. Holding it up to him, close enough he could easily reach over and take it into his mouth, she looked at him with big eyes. 


 


"Try this." 


 


She had spent a lot of her childhood cooking for herself and her younger brother, since their mother was sickly and often in and out of the hospital; so she got a lot of practice with housework and 'housewife' duties. Of course, she'd never let anyone at school know that. 
 
Kazuo looked at the piece of tofu quizzically, "You're not trying to poison me are you?" he asked half jokingly. The last time he had tried a student's food was about a year ago; it was so bad Kazuo had no recollection of the events and woke up in the infirmary an hour later.


He sighed and decided to trust Tsubaki; bending down he opened his mouth and let the food in, it tasted quite good, much better than his convenience store take outs.


"Very good Tsubaki, you're gonna make your future husband very happy one day." he said gently wiping his mouth with his thumb.


He pocketed his phone and looked at Tsubaki with a smile, "To answer your question, I'm moving to a bigger place and its a lot more trouble than I imagined." Kazuo checked his phone once more and sighed, "Maybe I'll get a cat... or a dog..." he said looking at the home he had just bought. It wasn't anything too fancy, just a three bedroom house. It was definitely an upgrade from his one bedroom apartment which he assumed he shared with a ghost

Takuya had spoken with Uyeno and Maeve for a while, talking about this to that, just getting to know one another a bit better before he had gotten a text from his grandmother saying that he needed to be home urgently. He quickly bid the girls farewell before he started to run home, he was scared, if anything had happened to his grandmother he didn't know what he would do. Bursting through the door, his eyes dart around the hallway and he sees her sipping some tea while playing Sudoku, "Sobo, why did you need me back so quickly I thought something was wrong?" Takuya says while strolling up to his grandmother with a slightly confused look on his face, "Oh nothing bad has happened, you worry too much Takuya, your uncle just wanted to talk to you about the business and you know he hardly has any time to spare so I needed you here as soon as possible". His grandmother said while passing him the phone and he spoke to his uncle for quite a while about the future of the business; some of what his uncle said scared him. However, Takuya went to bed soon after he had gotten off the phone to just forget about the world and relax for a while, he had just came back from being on holiday and already needed another good rest.
 
It was 4:45 PM and Aiko decided to leave the student council room. She said goodbye to Liisi and left walking out the school gates and to the direction of her house. She had decided to stop at a local convenience store to buy some potato chips.
 
Toyama


Think's she can just brush everything off eh? One day, one day soon her reckoning will come to fruition!


That was generally Toyama's line of thinking as he stomped his way angrily to the nearest bus stop, if he had timed this little excursion correctly then he should have at least six to seventeen minutes before the bus arrived. He saw it in the distance, the stop where only a small number of people currently waited. Small number of people for this time of day. Toyama had refined his timing over his many vigorous battles with the final boss, a necessity when contesting with an opponent whose internal clock was 100% accurate. However, he hated leaving things up to chance. He didn't have the unfair luck of his sister, if anything he must've been given all of her bad luck as a cosmic balancer or something. In any case, he didn't have the luxury of having the stars align to do everything for him.


So just to make sure he was on time, Toyama retrieved his phone and took a look at the clock and the battery's dead.


Toyama felt the wind against his frame as he stared down in slow burning hatred at his phone, knowing beyond anything that if he was Nakata the battery would just charge itself continuously for him or something.  No matter, the three people at the bus stop, he'd politely ask them for the-


"Oh man, did I leave my phone at the house?"


"Dude, I'm just heading over to my friend's place to see if he's finished fixing mine up, sorry bro."


"Don't believe in no phones, those things'll be the death of you youngins."


"Then, what about that watch you have, ma'am?" Toyama asked as he pointed out the watch on her wrist


"This old thing? Hasn't told time in thirty years." she said before getting a reminiscent look in her eyes "But my dear would be rolling in his grave if I took it off."


Three random people, and not one with a way to tell time. Toyama pressured himself to take deep breaths, this was obviously just another hurdle thrown at him by Nakata. Draining him of good luck in order to rebuke him for his earlier transgressions.


There was no need to grumble, that convenience store over there. Surely they would have a way tell time, it's a small establishment for people on the go. With that in mind Toyama strolled into the convenience store and immediately scanned the walls in every direction before turning towards the cashier.


"Excuse me sir." he said as evenly as he could "But do you happen to have the time?"


The cashier looked him straight in the eye "Nope."


Toyama could feel his restraint start shattering like a glass window "Why not... exactly?"


"Pops got cracked on the head by a falling clock when he was young, doesn't trust timepieces." the cashier stated as if it was the most obvious answer in existence


Toyama's hands clenched at his sides before he grumbled "But surely you've got a phone on you or something right?!?"


The Cashier rolled his eyes and got an incredibly infuriatingly smug look on his face "You still use phones? Come on man, everybody knows its all about Foogle Glass now."


To Toyama's dismay, the cashier retrieved a ridiculous headpiece from under the counter and strapped it on. If he wasn't furious at the extent of Nakata's influence, he'd probably be mocking the cashier instead of angrily restraining himself.


"Okay Foogle," the cashier said to the ridiculous headpiece "gimme the time.... no the time.... not Images of lime I need the time... No, I don't need spine surgery I-"


Toyama slowly stepped away from the cashier as he started arguing with his headpiece, approaching the entrance before spotting a girl who seemed to be perusing through snacks.


"Excuse me, miss." he said with a sigh of defeat as he stepped towards her a bit "You wouldn't happen to have some method of telling the time would you?"


@TGSRoleplay
 
Aiko was busy looking through the ingredients of snacks unlike most people, she was looking for ingredients she actually likes instead of whether it's healthy or not. She saw a man about her age approach her and ask for the time. She was silent for a few moments before replying. "It is 16:55:27 right now." She replied monotonically to him before checking out and leaving for home with a bag of lightly salted chips and a bottle of carbonated drinks.

Moving? He mad mentioned something of moving the last time they spoke, but she hadn't thought too much about it. "I can help you move if you want. I've got a truck." She said with a shrug, popping one of the tofu puffs into her own mouth with the same chopsticks as if it didn't mean a thing. After he was done talking she held out another bite to him, this time it was korokke. She looking at him curious she wondered why it was so stressful for him, but it reminded her of her own childhood. With a solemn smile on her lips she nodded trying to convey his understanding of the difficulty. 


 


"Who said I plan on getting married? I already have a special someone but they don't know I exist." She blurted out, her cheeks turning cherry red in embarrassment as she realized exactly what she had said. Her heart rate accelerated, but she didn't pull her hand away from him and still offered the food treat. It's not like he would be able to guess that she was talking about him, but it was still embarrassing to say something like that in front of him. Even if the two of them talked as if they were friends instead of teacher and student. 
 
Toyama


He didn't believe it, couldn't believe it, refused to believe it and yet....


...it was.


Nakata's power must have waned what with the pressure of the upcoming exams, allowing him to finally break through the bad luck barrier she'd encased him in. Toyama barely noticed the monotone girl pass him, he was too busy falling to his knees right there in the convenience store and raising both his hands in victory.


After a hearty cry of victory he dashed out the door and laughed confidently to the sky, convinced that his time of retribution may actually be near.


And then his bus passed by, cutting off his laugh at the root. Toyama slowly turned to watch it ride off into the sunset without him while feeling the broken shards of his shattered hope pierce his very soul.

Kazuo smiled softly taking a bite from her food, "You'll understand when you're older Tsubaki. But the gist of it is... I need to settle down..." He waved his hand at her suggestion to use her truck. He never knew the girl could drive, but then again, she was almost a full adult. Once Tsubaki rolled into university, she would be no longer a child in his book.


"I need you to do something a bit more important for me." he said petting her head, "I need a cat to liven up my new place. You think you could help me with that?" he asked opening up a can of coffee. 


He looked at the blushing girl, he always assumed Tsubaki was a serious girl, always with her nose in a book. The action surprised Kazuo as he mentally kicked himself in the head for not understanding Tsubaki herself could have these sorts of feelings for a boy


"I heard being married is quite nice." he said taking a seat beside her, "I'm sure your lucky boy will notice you one day! Just keep at it." Kazuo gave her hair one final ruffle before the looked up at the sky remembering his mother's nagging about him getting married. For God's sake he was only in his twenties, he still had time to settle down

View attachment 151308After a little chat with Uyeno and Takuya, she received a call from her parents, telling her that they were returning home, that by a few hours, they'd be home. "Ah, sorry, Uyeno, I've got to go, my parents are coming home." She bit her lip, was Uyeno going to be alone, she had mentioned she was her only friend. "Perhaps you'd like to meet them?" She offered.

Mahiru Hyouka


Mahiru had fallen asleep in class, and it appeared that no one had bothered to even try waking her up. She woke, stretching awkwardly as she realized the sun had set. Groaning, she gathered her belongings and left for her dorm.


Kotori Furuya


Kotori had gone home after spending a lot of time searching for Katsuro, to no avail. She had made dinner for the both of them - onigiri, a classic. It was the first time she was cooking for herself too, in many weeks. She waited expectantly for him to come home.


@Sizniche
 
Katsuro wanted to walk home, but unfortunately Kotori left before he could find her, so he walked home on his own. When he got home, he saw that she had made dinner for both of them. "I see you're going to be joining me for once," he joked. Katsuro kissed Kotori on the forehead. "Thank you for making dinner."


@Fazy
 
Kotori Furuya


Kotori smiled. "U-um, you're welcome," she murmured. If she were to be honest, the only reason she was eating was because Katsuro had asked her to. She passed him a hot plate of the onigiri, which had chicken wrapped inside it. She bit into one of her own, swallowing for a moment and then staring down at her plate. She was curious about something, but didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable. She decided to risk it. "Katsuro? You know... um, your brother? What kind of person is he?" She continued to eat without making eye contact. 


@Sizniche
 
Katsuro stopped eating for a moment. Katsuro really wasn't surprised at the inquiry, he simply preferred not to talk about his brother."Well, to be perfectly honest..." Katsuro said,"He was a great person; a star student and a community leader. It made it all the more shocking that he went down the path that he did." He ate a small bit of his onigiri."He protected me and my little sis wherever we went up until about four years ago."


@Fazy
 
Kotori Furuya


Kotori had finished her second onigiri before saying anything more. "So... then what happened? Four years ago?" Another bite. "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to."


@Sizniche
 
"Well, him and dad had a falling out," Katsuro said, eating his onigiri,"Sort of like what happened with me recently, but a lot worse. My brother just finished high school, and wanted to go to college to be a chemist, but dad wanted him to go to law school. The dispute got so bad that he didn't end up going to college at all, and dad cut him off like he did with me. The problem was he didn't have friends like I do now; nobody would help him. He eventually ended up doing... what he does now... to spite dad."


@Fazy
 
"Oh. That must have been depressing for you. And kind of hard. I get it - you had a lot of pressure to be successful and stuff. I guess I'm kind of an obstacle, then. Blocking you from doing that," Kotori mumbled, finishing off the last of her food.
