Location: Conquest cafeteria
Summary: Suzaku and Homura vow.

Homura stops by the cafeteria for lunch; she gets her miserable food and heads to sit with the discards. She's hoping to get it done and over with as quickly as possible-- it's not delicious-- but does not rush her eating either.

Suzaku entered the cafeteria and gathered some food, discard food. The watery soup was unappetizing but Suzaku had decided that he was not playing this game. He was not going along with what they said just because they dangled human rights over his head. He had seen how much they cared, and it was not at all.

He sat down and saw the young girl, nodding at her politely before beginning to eat.

She says nothing in response; she nods back and continues on with her meal. Homura doesn't know that he's a player, and assumes that he's a discard like herself. Neither of them are here to socialize, she thinks.

[swordofzero]

He eats in silence for a moment, before speaking up. Usually he wouldn't, but she seemed young and he didn't think she was a player, which meant she was a discard, and therefore in more danger than everyone else.

"I am Suzaku Kururugi. I guess you do not have a player this round?"

[antitank]

"Homura Akemi. Pleased to meet you. ... Yes, that's right. I haven't found a player yet." She sets aside her spoon. She remembers his name being called.

[swordofzero]

He nods, "I am a player, I don't know if you heard of the incident that happened on Saturday morning, but... since those this school calls discards are under the thumb of the prefects, I do not think it is safe for anyone to be alone without a player. If you wished, I could vow to you, I wouldn't expect you to fight if you do not wish to."

[antitank]

"No," she says. "If I am to vow with you, I expect my weapon to be used a lot. I need money. ...And I saw the forum post; I don't know anything that wasn't detailed there. Were you present?"

[swordofzero]

Suzaku blinked and then nodded, "The I will use it, you can have also the raks I gain from vowing with you." They were as much hers and his, the system was flawed.

He shrugged, "Not for that part, but my friend was the one killed, later the Fortitude prefect killed him again, they have considerable power."
