buttons are important guys

Characters: Shoujou
Format: Anything!
This log is: Closed to new threads!
Location: The hallway outside White 1-B.
Summary: Half-dressed ex-student council officer trying to find people he knows.

[Walking briskly – practically running – down the hallway with one hand clutching a stack of papers and the other holding his shirt closed tight against his chest, Shoujou looks like the classic example of a student too tired to dress himself: the ribbon left untied around his collar, vest hanging loosely around his shoulders, white shirt unbuttoned and untucked. He's not really doing a good job of keeping himself covered up, but thankfully, his pants are on mostly right – with the exception of the button being undone, but he’s got the belt on despite that.]

[Muttering things about “Tougyu-senpai’s here” and “El wouldn’t be on the list,” Shoujou knows he’s going to get a lot of questions in the next five minutes.]

[He's still not gonna like it.]

Comments

[defender]

[Shoujou's not exceptionally clumsy, so when he and Tougyu collide, he just barely manages to right himself in spite of not having his hands free to do so. He looks up to see what he ran into with the vague intention of saying something insulting, especially if it happened to be female - but then stops as he recognizes the figure.] Ah... Tougyu-senpai!

[In a slightly hushed tone.] Have you seen El?

[frozen_desires]

[That response... does not surprise Tougyu whatsoever. Just like he's looking for someone, Shoujou's first priority is his one and only savior. Unfortunately, at the mention of seeing El, Tougyu tries to come up with his face and...

Nothing. He can't remember what the SC president looks like.

Oh crap.] ... I don't know.

[defender]

[Just. Frowns.] ...you don't know?

What do you mean?

[frozen_desires]

[This isn't going to end well, he can tell.]

They took his face away from me.

[defender]

But -- you still -- they can do that? [His dislike for the people who are in charge now, whoever they are, is growing by the second. Moreover, this means that Tougyu is useless to him, at least for the time being. But Shoujou knows better than anyone else that Exaclan is a game best played with allies, so he suppresses his scorn (how could you forget El?) and shakes his head.]

[With an exceptionally disgusted snarl, he changes tacks.] It can't be helped. I'll have to look for him myself, then.

[frozen_desires]

You're the first boy from Utopia I've seen. [Tougyu feels the need to point this out, especially since he's been here from what might be called the beginning. Regardless, this makes him start to wonder about who's in charge of this school.

Why bring him and Shoujou, two of the most unstable members of the SC? Is there a connection? Or random circumstance?]

[defender]

The first... [Shoujou's forced to admit that that's probably the case -- of the names he'd gotten from the information booths, he didn't recognize any others besides "Tougyu Shiro."]

[It's unsettling, really, to see Tougyu so... oddly calm. Shoujou's interactions with the older boy had been brief but poignant -- Tougyu had either been skulking in the corners of the student council meeting room, actively avoiding the discussion, or brutally torturing some miserable girl. Seeing this is different. But not even Shoujou would risk treading on Tougyu's shoes; in the end, he says nothing on the matter.]

Then... how long have you been here? What have you been doing?

[frozen_desires]

[That is quite possibly the one question he doesn't want to answer. Mostly because even though this school is free of Iwahijiri, he still has to keep the pretense of following their chauvinistic ideals. At least until he finds where his senpai is. Only after she and her sister are safe can he tell Iwahijiri to go to hell.

Regardless, as Shoujou speaks to him, his eyes slide this way and that with practiced ease as if he's having trouble focusing on the other.]

Almost a month. There's nothing to do but play with my toys... nothing to do.

[defender]

[Shoujou just smiles.]

If I find El, I'm sure we'll have something for you to do. Soon.

mind if I threadjacked?

[siscon]

[ Hiyo wasn't aware some of the people from her world were here, even with her knowledge gathering skills. She had already met with the other Princesses, met with Sora, made plans with the group and she was off to find her 'beloved' Knight that day.

Until she turns a corner, unaware of the two people she would happen to bump into ] A-Ah, excuse me - !

[ Tougyu and Shoujou were definitely not the ones she was expecting to see. ]

OH HI YOU.

[frozen_desires]

[At Shoujou's words, Tougyu gains this odd, eerie smile as if that thought alone is entertaining in some way. Any response beyond that, however, is interrupted by the appearance of Hiyo.

His attention caught, Tougyu will shift in order to see who spoke and... do nothing. He doesn't recognize her, he doesn't even seem to know her. So he'll let Shoujou handle this one.]

'SUP BROSIS, join the party

[defender]

[Fortunately for Hiyo, Shoujou doesn't recognize her either.]

What? You're excused. If you don't need anything, leave.

HI TO GYU TOO

[siscon]

[ she takes a deep breath, gulping, and glances between Tougyu and Shoujou. Things are tense for a moment - she can feel it.

but she notices something peculiar about the latter, and stares at him ]

Your fly's down. And your shirt is coming off. Ahhh, student council members sure live a good life, huh? [ her eyes glimmer with slight mirth and she hopes that it'll get Shoujou good. He doesn't seem to remember her, so that's good! ]

Gyu? ._.

[frozen_desires]

[At Hiyo's remark, Tougyu realizes two things.

One, she's from Utopia. Otherwise, how else would she know they were SC members? And secondly... why is Shoujou in such a state of disarray? (Of course, the fact that it took Hiyo saying something for him to realize Shoujou's clothes were odd is probably something in itself...)

Regardless, now that there's a girl in front of them, it's obvious what stance he has to take.]

That's the problem with this place... all these bitches keep acting up.

'to gyu'. like 'hi yo(u).' punnery ahoy

[defender]

[Shoujou, for his part, is too embarrassed to register that the girl is from Utopia.]

N-No, I made sure that I -- [But he doesn't finish the sentence, and flushes a delightful shade of crimson.] Dammit! You bitch! What the hell are you implying?!

/shot

[siscon]

But we had such a good time last night, senpai! [ she smiles innocently to Shoujou, obviously up to no good. When you troll someone who doesn't know you, it makes everything a lot more fun. ]

Even though I expected you to be bigger, you ended up being really small... Kya, I wonder how the other student council Weapons go through with it...! [ should a 14 year old really be making dirty jokes? ]

D:

[frozen_desires]

[At that insinuation, Tougyu has to pause and think about what's just been implied, before turning on Shoujou. Doesn't he like El...?

Then again, he's also pretty sure that only Mitarai is that special. Actually, nevermind. He doesn't want to think about any of the student council that way, least of all Mitarai.

He's just going to stay quiet at this confrontation. Obviously Shoujou will put her in her place and expect him to help.]

[defender]

[And for the second time today, Shoujou drops his papers. He has to crouch to pick them up, turning an even more brilliant red and sputtering incoherently all the while.] W-What – you – something like that – ! I'm not, I do not have – I – [Visibly outraged, Shoujou takes a deep breath before standing back up in a valiant effort to preserve his dignity.]

Like I would ever even touch an ugly, disgusting little piece of filth like you! Get the fuck out of here!

[Then he whirls on Tougyu with a desperate and utterly mortified look on his face.] T-Tougyu-senpai, you don't actually believe her?! I – they took my memories, I can't... dress properly...
