band-aids everywhere!

Format: First or third.
This log is: Open.
Location: In the cafeteria. Amazing, isn't it? He goes there now that the SC office is closed.
Summary: Apple bunnies! The ex-Student Council President is making apple bunnies. And failing miserably.

[ There's one (1) young man seated at the far corner of the cafeteria away from people's usual line of sight, looking rather preoccupied. On his right is a plate of sliced apples, looking rather haphazardly done with a chainsaw, and a small bowl of cool water. On his left is a small medical kit with strips of paper that held band-aids littering the table. He holds a paring knife in his right hand, slowly carving away at one of the slices. Every five - or less - minutes, he winces, sighs and continues on.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, El is having trouble peeling apples. What a sad day this is for the world.

A moment later, he finally sighs again and puts down a slightly blood-stained apple bunny, half-peeled with the supposed bunny ears cut awkwardly. He used to be able to do this before he came to this place. ]

I suppose that one's wasted as well.

Comments

[firstlady]

[And here's someone who actually knows that Asagiya Karin is El. Not that it matters right now. He had a book on his tray, as well as his lunch. His first priority was to find a quiet place to sit.

It was just very convenient that the quietest corner in the cafeteria was the same table El-- no, he was supposed to be known as Karin right now, wasn't he-- was occupying. Kuchinawa slides his tray onto the table.]

May I?

[persuades]

[ El briefly looks up at the inquiry, pausing from his current occupation of making at least one decent apple rabbit. If he was surprised upon seeing Kuchinawa, then he didn't show it. There was no indication of surprise whatsoever; merely a smile he was getting used to lately.

This place does like to surprise him in the most amusing of ways. First was Shoujou. Then came Tougyu. And now, Kuchinawa. Was there anyone else he missed? ]

Be my guest.

[firstlady]

[ Well, if he found himself here then it was only logical to think that other people would have found their way here as well. He acknowledged Karin with a polite nod and sat down.

He opened his book and began to read, frowning at how nothing seems to make sense to him. Why would a princess be in a tower? Where were all these princes coming from? Every page was filled with nonsense, but he knew they had some kind of logic to him once.

He closes his book with a sigh and smiles at that very very awkward looking apple rabbit.]

Do you really have to cut it like that?

[persuades]

[ Another pause to look at him. ]

What's wrong with cutting it like this?

[firstlady]

Nothing.

[a glance at all the wasted apples]

It's kind of cute. [It. That single bunny, standing out against the apple wasteland. Is this supposed to be symbolic bb?]

[persuades]

[ Have a passive-aggressive smile. After a few minutes of more carving the apple and his hand -- ]

When did you arrive?

[firstlady]

[Karin, Karin, don't hurt yourself because of a silly apple bunny. Come on now.]

Today.

How long did you have to wait?

[persuades]

A couple of weeks.

[ Frowning in concentration as he makes a cut on the apple. ]

Sora Himoto and her princesses seem to be here as well.

[firstlady]

I know.

[Do you want to know why Kuchinawa knows? You'd have to break your concentration long enough to ask.]

[persuades]

[ That knife? Goes through the apple and almost his hand if he didn't pull it away at the last second. He really had gotten terrible at this. ]

Did you finally meet her then, Sora Himoto?

[firstlady]

[Here's a thoughtful look as El almost stabbed his own hand. It lasts for a split second. Now that he seems okay enough, Kuchinawa's back to smiling.]

She grew up well, that knight.

[persuades]

And?

[ A pause, to eat that slice of apple. ] You were there, weren't you?

[firstlady]

[Aren't you going to offer me an apple? Oh well.

Going back to reading now because the idea of Kuchinawa hiding anything? ABSURD! --ly accurate<]

I saw them on the way here.

[persuades]

Did you now?

[ Do you want one? It's covered in God's blood.

And don't avoid the topic. ]

How was Kawazu's fight? Did I actually lose my bet?

[firstlady]

I did. Strange though, I thought I had that room to myself.

[ No thank you. It's the thought that counts.

He turns the page, deciding that the development of this plot should be more important than whatever El was planning. He concentrates on it for a while before answering-- ]

Your bet?

[persuades]

And they never found you?

[ He picks up a slice to survey his handiwork of mutilating the rabbits. ]

I did say that Kawazu can have you back if he wins against Himoto. He seemed confident enough that he would win.

[firstlady]

They were having a meeting of their own. It would be rude to interrupt.

[ Never taking his eyes and his left hand off his book, Kuchinawa takes a bite of the bread he bought for lunch. He chews. He swallows. He wipes the crumbs off his face with a napkin. ]

And if he lost, what would you have to gain?

YOU'RE IN CLASS WHY ARE YOU TAGGING

[persuades]

Careful now. They might think you're listening to them from your room.

[ The rabbit ear definitely looks like it's been torn. Never mind the faint stains of red on the flesh, it didn't look like an apple rabbit at all. ]

What would, I wonder?

what this was posted before I left home ._.

[firstlady]

[He reaches out to take that apple bunny from El's hand.]

Apple demon.

[Can he have it?]

you said you were leaving before that

[persuades]

[ El lets him take the slice, resting his chin on the back of one injured hand. He smiles. ]

Fitting, isn't it?

.... really? I forgot. ._.

[firstlady]

[ Kuchinawa takes the slice and examines it on his palm. He sets it on the table eventually.

He smiles back.

Congratulations, we are now off topic. ]

[persuades]

[ You're not playing fair. ]

Shoujou arrived as well.

[firstlady]

[ Love and war, dear. Love and war. ]

Oh?

[ Kuchinawa had this feeling that he had just forgotten another important thing, and that thing had something to do with Shoujou. ]

Just Shoujou?

[persuades]

Tougyu came by as well. He said he had forgotten my face.

[ Most amusing thing he's heard so far. ]

[firstlady]

What about Sumita? Kajiwara? Mitarai?
