Where: The Villa
When: April 3rd
Status: closed

Izumo listened to Rin, privately hoping that Maka would soon return. Yeah, she liked Rin well enough (though she'd never admit it), but he was certainly nowhere near as good as explaining things as she was.

"... the headmaster," she said, apparently ignoring the part about everyone else. "Running a maid cafe."

Izumo sighed and brought a hand to her forehead.

"So, how long before all of this inevitably self destructs? Because I can't imagine the people we know are the only crazy people here, and they're bad enough..."

"Self destructs?"

Rin blinks at that, slowly shaking his head.

"I've been here over a year, Kamiki. Some people have been here longer. It ain't normal, sure, but I think you're not puttin' a lotta faith in people being able to adapt."

"..."

Izumo's first instinct was to be stand-offish. She didn't like someone calling her out on her attitude.

But what Rin said struck her rather hard. He'd been here. A whole year. And from her perspective, she'd just seen him the day before. This was virtually a whole different Okumura Rin than she knew. Hell, he even had a girlfriend.

"... y-yeah, well, if you say so... I'll take your word for it."

It was better than nothing.

He almost missed it, that look of "who are you?" that passed through her eyes, but once it was gone and she responded, he reacted strangely. By laughing.

"Yeah, I know... I'm really different now, aren't I? Sorry, this is probably a lot for you to take in, but you'll get used to it. I know you will."

He looked up at Maka, smiling at her as well before looking back to Izumo.

"'sides, you're among friends here! Even if you're gonna be all tsuntsun at us, we're still friends."

Oh.

Oh god.

"Tsuntsun!?" Izumo cried, her cheeks flaring red. "Wh-what the hell is wrong with you, Okumura?! I'm not... shut up, alright?!"

[...And then Rin was slapped upside the head with a towel.]

That word again? You're talking like Mr. Faust.

[And she still doesn't know what it means. But whatever, Maka holds out the towel and a brush to Izumo.]

But he does have a point sort of, we're all your friends here!

"Mmn. You must have Rin rubbing off on you, if you're using words like that already..."

Yep. Tsuntsun alright.

Sorry, you two. Rin is cracking up. Like a dork. At his own joke.

And Izumo's reaction to it, of course.

"Hey at least I didn't say what Shima always says. 'A tsun and no dere'. Ain't my fault it's a common word in Japanese."

He quieted his laughing, grinning at Izumo.

"Whatever. I actually missed you, okay? Tsun or no. I like havin' my friends from home here."

Nobody's even told me...what it means...

Izumo just stares at Rin, before letting out another "Hmmph."

"I'm going to deck that guy when I see him next..."

Then she turned to Maka.

"It's a stupid thing that guys use to describe characters in shows that act all domineering one minute and then kind and sweet the next minute. I am nothing like that..."

"He'd probably like it, comin' from you."

Was that a cough after that? Or did he say something? It kind of sounded like 'yes you are'...

"It's kinda hard to put in to English but it's like... cold but secretly loving? No wait that's kuudere..."

"The real world is not like an anime, Okumura."

And then she shot him a look that said 'don't you dare think I didn't hear that'.

"...Well that's just...stupid."

Faust called her that, even. She's not cold at all!

"Never mind, let's not continue this discussion. Rin you go take her clothes down to the laundry and I'll set the table for lunch. Kamiki? Would you like to help?"

"Maka, don't listen to Mephisto. Just don't. If anyone likes to treat life like an anime, it's him."

Besides, Rin got the wrong definition anyway.

"Alright, whatever. I'm gonna have to make somethin' since I couldn't make dinner last night, but there's some easy lunch stuff in the fridge."

He grabbed Izumo's uniform, heading out of the room to go take care of the laundry and meet up with them in the kitchen.

"Sure, I'll help..." Izumo replied, actually managing a smile towards Maka.

Then she turned to call after Rin.

"You'd better not mess up my uniform, Okumura...!"
