Jailbreak! Erm, dormitory-break?

[golden_gloves]

Who: Akihiko and You!
Where: In or just outside the Volo Dorms.
When: afternoon (?)
Style: Either is fine.
Status: Open!

[For Akihiko, being sick or injured can be compared to severe punishment. Relaxation is not part of his regular vocabulary. It is also extremely difficult to pacify him with quiet, solitary activities like reading or watching television.

Having broken ribs was alright, or another similar injury. One can still walk and get around with that. But getting shot in the leg is another story. The first night he fell subject to the coral's side effects of healing and slept. But once the restful slumber ended, the books Mitsuru brought him to read could only hold his attention for so long.

Today, he moves slowly and carefully towards the doors after cautiously descending the stairs of the dormitory. It'll get better faster if he walks on it, right? Maybe there's something to cull his boredom nearby.

And hopefully nobody is around to drag him back inside.]

*Outside the dormitory, Akihiko should be careful not to run into this...very odd man. Ghirahim takes one look at the human in the red vest. And white hair.

...Clearly this is a human with unusually excellent taste.

He smirks and makes a noncommittal noise, tossing his head to clear his vision of his own, longer, white hair.*

You've seen better days, haven't you.

[golden_gloves]

[It's just his school uniform! But it's comfortable and familiar.

He's caught off-guard and gasps softly, matching glances with the unusual man.]

Yeah. But I can't stand sitting around doing nothing.

[He frowns.]

[evilisfabulous]

So determined. How admirable. Wounds like that do tend to fester in you humans, however.

[golden_gloves]

[Does that mean he's not human? Then what is he?]

I just need to get stronger. I can't let the little things keep me down.

[evilisfabulous]

*welp that reduced Ghirahim's friendly level by about a thousand.*

Hmph... You remind me of one rather irritating boy...

[twiceinhabited]

[Inside the dorms, Akihiko might see one of the people living there walking around on the ground floor.

Can he walk past her?]

[golden_gloves]

[There's an unfamiliar face. She shouldn't give him any trouble, right? He'll just keep shuffling towards the door.]

[twiceinhabited]

[Before he can reach the door...Amane turn her head and notice him.]

...Sanada?

[She knows him from when he's previously here. But does he remember her?]

[golden_gloves]

[When Amane speaks up, he jumps a bit then turns to her.]

Yeah, that's me.

[Unfortunately, he does not remember her. But that's no reason not to get reacquainted.]

[shotarcana]

[And waiting on the other side of those doors is one Minako Arisato, who seems to have a sixth sense about what's about to come out of those doors...]

[golden_gloves]

[Oh crap. Akihiko tries to carry himself as comfortably as possible. If he stays cool, she'll think he's fine.]

...H-hey Arisato.

[shotarcana]

[This face does not change.]

Akihiko-senpai... Funny seeing you out and about.

[golden_gloves]

[That face is almost as frightening as Mitsuru's when she's mad.]

Yeah. I'm...feeling much better. Just gonna go take a walk.

[Limping Walking's not training, right?]

[invoker]

[GUESS WHO IS SITTING IN THE FRONT ROOM WITH A CUP OF TEA AND A BOOK? Standing sentry, possibly Her eyes move up from the page to look at an Akihiko with a knowing expression. Does she really need to say anything?]

[golden_gloves]

[Ohhhhh crap. He thought you had gone out, Mitsuru.]

What're you doing down here? I mean...it's surprising. Seeing you down here.

[invoker]

[Setting her book down, she takes her cup of tea all the mean while giving Akihiko a look.]

Good afternoon, Akihiko.

[Teasip.gif]

[golden_gloves]

[It's cool, it's cool. Act casual. Yes.]

Hey. What are you up to?

[He picks his leg up off the ground to ease the pressure. Standing in one place is tougher than he expected!]

[needsmoregreen]

[Meanwhile Bianca happened to be walking around the area when she saw Akihiko outside of the dorms.

Was it just her or was everyone getting hurt left and right? Or maybe...she never realized it before and it was only recently that she has...

Either way, seeing Akihiko in such state made Bianca rush over to him]

Akihiko, are you okay? You're limping, you shouldn't be up!

[golden_gloves]

H-hey Bianca.

[Now he feels a little guilty. But still...]

I-I'll be fine. I just need to get out a bit. I'm going crazy in there.

[needsmoregreen]

[Can you see the look on Bianca's face?]

No you're not, you should go back to your apartment and rest! You'll only make your injuries worst!

[golden_gloves]

[It's very clear!]

It's not that bad. It stings [a lot], but it's nothing I can't handle. You'd go crazy too just sitting in bed all day...

[bakegarasu]

[Well, there's someone walking past outside. He just stares at Akihiko for a minute - oh. He looks like he's in pain.]

Isn't the usual thing to rest on that sort of thing?

[golden_gloves]

[Sure, for a weakling! Or so Akihiko believes. When Akihiko is called out, he does his best to look collected.]

I'm just taking a short walk.

[bakegarasu]

Can't say I blame you. What happened?

[He has some herbs back at the bar... he needs to plant more. Hmm.]

[golden_gloves]

[Akihiko curls a small smile for a few seconds. This guy gets it.]

An enemy from home ended up here.

[Akihiko pulls up his pant leg to show the bandaged and wrapped bullet wound.]

I was starting to think this place was okay.
