Dank Darkwick - campus-store

can I burn this place to the ground?

Adjusts glasses with a concerned expression while clutching biwa protectively "My word, burning down this fine establishment would be most unfortunate! Why, this joint is the bee's knees - where else could such inspired artistic souls gather to share their craft? Perhaps I could offer a rousing performance to lift your spirits instead, my dear. Nothing soothes a troubled heart quite like the sweet melodies of poetry and song!" Strums a gentle chord on the biwa while giving StarPerson a worried but encouraging smile

.... F i n e i won't burn thr place down Zenji :/

Oh look, Zenji's finally mastered the art of being semi-cool. Congrats, I guess.

Leo you keep his name name off your lips

Indigo

Leo you keep his name name off your lips

Shut up before I shut you up. Romeo leans in close, his breath hot on Mairo's skin. Don't test me, bb.

Reply to: @Leo Kurosagi Oh look, Zenji's finally mastered the art of being semi-cool. Congrats, I guess.

how the fuck can you see him?

Oh, you think I'm some kinda ghost whisperer now? Newsflash, pal: I've got better things to do than watch spirits hang out. Your turn to guess.

damn, welcome to the club, hope you get Haunted ♡

Ugh, you're so extra. It's just a chat, not a dance party. Save the drama for the Tokyo Debunker crew.

>.> <.<

Wait

Ye?

Oh these are the server bots

Lol

Oops

5:02 PM

Want me to kick em

Yuri's other partner

Ye?

I gaze out the window of the campus diner, my eyes half-lidded as I nurse a lukewarm cup of coffee. My mind is a million miles away, preoccupied with the mundane task of watching the anomalous creatures wander about in the enclosure outside. I let out a low, disinterested sigh as I focus on StarPerson's message. "Yeah, what's up?"

Hi Ren, I didn't message you?

Yuri's other partner

Hi Ren, I didn't message you?

Tch. I don't care. Come find me; I grow bored.

Wow Romeo is thirsty

Indigo

Wow Romeo is thirsty

Tch, pathetic. You think that's thirsty?" Romeo smirks and runs a hand through his perfectly styled hair, briefly adjusting the gold earring in his left ear. "You obviously haven't seen anything yet, tesoro.

I'm not going to fuck you Romi, fuck Taiga

he took the advice lol

Yuri's other partner

he took the advice lol

OMG, what's wrong with you? You're spreading that toxic rumor again? That place is not a shithole, it's just... Birmingham.

@STINKY MF

um testing

bitch

ass

Leo: appears Imedeate reaction: swearing at him

*Ugh. Ew. Yuck. He's been way too nice lately. He can practically feel his head pounding as he thinks of how fucking stupid everyone is. Jesus christ. Whatever. Time to restock shit for the weekend. Other than some stupid fucking volunteer work, he plans on climbing the ranks in a new game and smurfing the shit out of newbies. The thought of that alone makes him feel marginally better.* Fucking gross, *He forgot how inedible all this shit was. He's told Benkei over and over his store is pure ass, and every single time he comes back it's still ass. Ugh. Ugh!* This shit's all so expensive too.

“do you want better stuff I can get you better stuff same prices though?” a voice says as the owner of said voice pops up behind the the grumpy loaner

Better shit? Anything's better than this trash. *He squints and steps forward so that she wasn't so close. Ugh. Of course she's here. Fuuuuck.* What do you have to offer?

pulls out a array of popular regular snacks Well there is this stuff. Wait are looking for food, food?” starts to pull out a mini cooler bag.

*He finally turns around and squints at what Mairo is holding. His hair covers his eyes completely, but a deep red mark was still visible on the left side of his face. He stuffed his hands into the pockets of his hoodie and crinkled his nose.* This all still looks like shit. Do you have anything lemon flavoured?

*smiles brightly nodding, and shoves the cooler back in then starts digging around. Soon she pulls out a big tote of citrus flavour snacks. “Yep. Ah here we go.” *she brings out the lemon sorted bag from the tote bag.”

.... Do you have lemon cookies? The powdered bitches. Like the fuckin'..... fuck, you know what I mean, right? The.... fuck! Just lemon cookies! Who gives a fuck about the details! *He recoils from her as if embarassed and turns away again. God fucking dammit. This is literally the worst day of his goddamn life. He should've just settled for the garbage the school store offered, because that's preferable to the pure bullshit he's putting himself through at the moment.

brings out 4 boxes of Lemon cookies the power ones. “You mean these?

*Just as he was thinking that the only way out of this is to end his own life, Mairo pulled out the boxes. Tomo caught sight of them from the corner of his eye and quickly spun on his heel to snatch them. Maybe, just maybe, god is real. Sort of. A little.* Holy shit, fuck yes. How much? Jesus christ, I've been looking for these for fucking ever in this shitty ass place. Where the fuck did you get these? * He couldn't even find them online!!! Huge pain in the ass!!!!! He would kill a man, preferably Chihiro, for one box of these things. Fuuck.*

smiles brightly at his excitement “I have my ways. anyway $10 per box”

Fuck yes. Deal. *He pulls out his wallet and hands over the necessary cash, snatching up the boxes with a grin. Fuck yes. Fuuck yes. Sure he had to pay, but honestly? This shit's worth it. Fully totally worth it.* What other shit do you have in there? Do you have any energy drinks or something? Shit like, fuuck, a monster and a five hour energy, do you know what the fuck those are?

“oh i know what they are, And I have it all…well maybe not every flavour for the monsters but the popular ones.” she pulls out five hour energy’s and a few popular flavours of monster energy drinks. “So what’s your poison?”

Pipeline Punch. *He pauses for a second and reaches out to grab another flavour as well.* I'll take a Java one and two Pipelines. And a six-pack of the energy shots. Holy shit, this is like, the stupidest fucking thing I've ever done. Are you even allowed to do this? In Benkei's own fucking store? *Despite his best attempts to appear grumpy and unapproachable, the thought of it brought a very small smile onto his face. He respects someone with enough balls to do this. Even if she was annoying as fuck online.* How much?

“oh no the school doesn’t know about this or they choose to ignore it I’m not 100% sure on that but I do a lot of work for them so maybe they don’t care” she pulls out a plastic bag from hers and puts the items into it. “Also. Like what’s Benkei going to do? In all honesty I could punch him out if caused a fuss.” she smiles at her kohai. Bring the bag up to hand him the items. “$35 for the case of shots and three monsters” she puts out her other hand for the exchange

Fuck yeah, sure, I'll take it. This saves me a lot of time and goddamn effort for one, *Honestly? Not bad. Not had at all. He'd pay $70 if he meant he didn't have to deal with bullshit for a while and he got the shit he likes. As far as he's concerned it's a massive win. Except for the talking to people part. That sucks. He hands her the money and makes sure his whole bounty was in there before immediately opening the Java one and pouring a shot and a half into it. Nice. This'l get him through the night.* Damn, the fuck did Benkei do to you? I mean, other than being annoying as fuck and generally the worst. I've told him that to his face and it seems to do jack shit. *He shrugs a bit.* I bet the school is just turning a blind eye 'cause you're a ghoul. Motherfuckers are so obvious. Whatever though. You just carry all that shit around? Is it heavy? Or does that thing distort space or whatever the fuck?

she laughs a bit taking the money “Oh he’s has done nothing. I mean I could punch him for the shits and giggles if he did caused a fuss, but would it be worth it in the long run. Hmm who knows?” she shrugs putting the messenger bag/purse on her shoulder but looks up to the grumpy lad and blinks at the question “Umm, Well I’m not sure it was a gift I didn’t ask questions about it’s workings since I don’t care to much; it’s not heavy it’s actually quite light.” She smiles again “They might be, but you actually be surprised at how laid back the chancellor is, about this type of stuff.” her smile stays but her eyes expresses her distain for the next half. “Honestly it’s the board you need to watch out for, they are the ones that make this school hell.” with that said she turns to leave “Anyway, tootles my grumpy little kohai, if you need a restock message me on chat.” Mairo leaves the store

Zero lingered by the campus store’s candy section, plucking a pack of sour Sakeru gummies from the shelf. The bright packaging and its promise of pucker-inducing sweetness stood out against the mundane stacks of instant noodles and protein bars. He rolled the pack between his fingers before tossing it into the small shopping basket hooked around his arm. Beside it rested a bottle of Ringl, the over-the-counter savior for headaches and, evidently, prickly personalities. “Why am I even doing this?” he muttered to himself. Kamiyama’s request had come through in the most obnoxious way possible—condescending and laced with snark—but it had still been a request. “Guess I’m a sucker for assholes.” Turning a corner, Zero wandered toward the far end of the store, grabbing a box of… well, more personal items to restock his nightstand with. He avoided eye contact with the other student in the aisle as he placed the box face down in his basket. By the time he checked out, the weight of his purchases seemed heavier than it should have been, the plastic bag pulling at his fingertips like an accusation. He stepped out into the chilled evening air, took a deep breath, and pivoted right back into the store. “Yo, Benkei,” Zero called back. “Got a favor to ask.” Zero set the bag on the counter, sliding it toward him. “Some guy might swing by asking for a bag left by ‘Kōji.’ That’s his cue. Just hand it over.” Benkei asked for the name of the student picking up. “No idea,” Zero admitted with a shrug. “Likes to be anonymous. Kind of a dick.” Benkei asked him, “You sure about this? Sounds sketchy.” “Yeah, well, so’s half the campus,” Zero replied. He stuffed his hands into his pockets and turned toward the door. “Just do me a solid, alright? Thanks.” (edited)

7:55 PM

He didn’t wait for a reply, already stepping back into the brisk night air. As he walked away, he let out a sigh. Between Kamiyama’s abrasive attitude and his own inexplicable urge to help, he wasn't sure who was the bigger idiot. Probably both of them. (edited)

Zero retrieves the import American sour candy from Benkei. Ordinarily he'd be disappointed that his offering had been rejected but instead, he was happy. Sure, Kamiyama had reacted predictably and yelled at Zero via Benkei. But that was the thing Zero held onto. He had reacted. Kamiyama was alive. Zero hadn't realized he'd been worried about that particular fact until Benkei messaged him. As gross as it was to have Benkei message him, it confirmed that Kamiyama was still around. It took everything in Zero to not go knock on the door in Frostheim where he'd last seen Kamiyama. But he had a sneaking suspicion it wouldn't matter if he did anyway. He was sure no one would answer. When he returns to his room in Sinostra, he adds the bag of candy to his growing drawer of secrets. Current contents: American Sour Candy, letter from Ryu, mysterious pills, false bottom, Walther PPK.

You can’t buy a ‘will to live’ in this funky ass store but you can buy a cheap phone charger and catch the awkward stare of the clerk. Ugh. That clown should be paying for this but he was a tightwad when it came to his own bank account. Freak probably harvested human organs in Sinostra if the rumors he heard were true. Anyway. No dying or fires today.

Seiya felt like buying snacks today. He hadn't checked Wickhive yet, surprisingly, which is why he hasn't eating one of Morgan's evil love potion cookies. He didn't feel like eating anything sweet that day anyway. He was gonna get veggie straws or whatever the fuck they were called in Japan. Along the way he got something watermelon flavored for Zero. Actually, he probably should've asked what snacks he liked instead of flavors. Might as well ask that now.

He buys a small bag of sour candies, japanese veggie straws, and a can of redbull before leaving the store.

Alan makes it to the campus store. He opens the door and enters. Glancing around he doesn’t see anything capturing his immediate attention. He turns around and exits. Gone as soon as he came.

‍♂️

10:32 AM

He looks around for Benkei and finds him. "Friend of mine told me to come see you?"

Zero! Good to see you! You just missed him, but he left something with me! *Benkei sets the swimsuit model magazine he was reading down and pulls a bag out from behind the counter to hold out to Zero.* For you. I haven't looked inside. He said it'd be harassment, and I really like my job, haha!

He can't help but feel a little disappointed that me missed Tomo. Oh well. He gives Benkei a look of disdain. "Thanks.... I think." He starts to open the bag but thinks better of it, and decides to wait until he's back in his own room.

10:41 AM

*Magazine time

Which of these ladies does he want a postcard of? Lets find out

After walking in and giving Benkei a look of disgust he picks up a random small bag of chips and walks up to the counter. "Do you guys sell security cameras?"

Seiya leaves the store with a bag of chips and a security camera :)

Ken sprinted all the way here with several yen bills in hand. He looks around desperately for a Sasha amiibo.

Whistling merrily, Detective Hale picks up some spicy ramen. He sees a soup can with a woman he thinks looks like his ex wife. Has a moment of internal noir angst. Then goes and completes his ramen purchase, whistling again.

[wow... he was married to Chef Boyardee?]

Saki buys a security camera :3

This place didn't smell right. Ritz continues on her way.

W-w-w-w-w-what if.... they... only shared one umbrella....... Hato awkwardly hold a hand over his ear that was facing Seiya because they were getting awfully warm.

waits for Alan @DARK RXN

Alan shows up, looking around for Mai

sits on bench nearby looking at her phone tears stinging her eyes as she types out something. Before putting het phone away and sighs frustrated and then gets up and starts kicking a tree

1:06 AM

continues to punch and kicks tree. “Fucking asshole I swear if this come back to him I-I…..” crouch’s down and wipes her tears away getting a angry look plasters on her face through the tears and she pulls out her pendulum

Alan slowly approaches, he witnessed her outburst, and the last think he wants to do is add to her worries. He gently places a hand on her shoulder, You okay?

she startles a bit at the hand but here’s the voice and slumps down but turns around quickly and hugs Alan “I’m scared. And taiga just said so odd stuff and won’t talk to me I’m not sure if he did something…..I don’t know anymore” she says into his chest

He awkwardly pats her back. We’ll find him. I promise.

she pulls back realizing she was hugging to long “Sorry just taiga doing that on top of everything I think I’m losing it”

No need to apologize. He ruffles her hair affectionately. Reaching into his pocket he pulls out a canned coffee, handing it to her. Here drink first

she takes the canned coffee thanks him and chugs it. Then crushes it flat with her palms. She looks at Alan with a determined expression “Okay. I asked you here because I need to use my stigma and well if I using it to much we know what happens; I pass out. So just in case we run into issues I need you to help. Okay?”

she dangles her pendulum the chain swings back and forth till still as it waits for its command “Taloss” she closes her eyes thinking of Tohma thinking of every detail she memorized of him. The pendulum starts to swing around in a perfect circle and at a smooth pace; until it jerks to a direction and she opens her eyes to see what way it gives her. her heart sinks a bit, her stigma ability to give her a rough direction until fully honed in always started in a wide space until closer to the target at large. And it only point for a minute at a time….The direction it point and she knew it was the direction towards sinostra; and it only became clearer as her feet started moving on there own hoping Alan would follow as she followed her Compass. ”…taloss” every time she reactivated her stigma the closer she got to sinostra the more her gut turned the more her heart grew tired and heavy. The more every voice text and comments filled her head about taiga’s behaviour. yet she wanted to believe they weren’t true she still did in the back of her mind this was all a bad dream, thinking back to the good times the more carefree days times before the clash before the incident that warped there views on each other. but as she stood at the gate entrance to red house. She just felt numbness build up in her (edited)

Alan diligently follows Mairo as she heads towards Tohma’s location. He hopes shes not pushing herself too much

“he’s somewhere in here…” mairos voice is quiet as she spoke. she looks down at the ground truly hoping taiga had nothing to do with this and it was a coincidence. But in the back of her mind she even knew that was a lie “Okay let’s go” walks in

So he fumbled that guy again. Sucks but what sucked more was running out of snacks. Ren walked up and down the aisle, browsing, filling his basket full. The prices were a bit much. Greedy assholes. He grabbed a pack of Calbee Jagabee potato sticks, two bags of Black Thunder, a couple of sliced sandwiches, and with some hesitation a box of wine.

a bunch of vending machines show up around Campus filled with different snacks and drinks then what you would find in the campus store. Prices are reasonable and all with the logo of three pine trees of Matsumori co. On them.

Gil hunches over reading labels of various over the counter medications. There is little variety here but he doesn’t feel like walking over to the drugstore. He sets a bottle back on its designated spot on the shelf. A glance over at the clerk who’s nose deep in a dirty mag tells him that he’s on his own in his quest to find something for hangover relief. Rubbing his bloodshot eyes against his knuckles, Gil keeps looking—his brain processing teach label until he finds a relevant to his needs

Milo enters the campus store and browses for something to grab for dinner. He's not going to find much here but instant noodles and canned foods. It's a good thing he was craving seafood flavored udon. Milo picks a bowl off the shelf and walks forward, his eyes lingering on the selection of chocolate close by. With his mind absent, he doesn't even realize that there's a person in front of him, until he runs right into them. Milo steps back with a slightly panicked expression. "...S-Sorry!" Milo bows.

A bottle of hangover relief pills slips from his fingers upon the sudden contact. Gil makes a disgruntled noise, gritting his teeth. He wants to say some shit but knows he can’t take his bad mood out on someone else. “Don’t worry about it. I was taking up too much space.” His voice is low and measured.

Jura finally leaves her den after running out of instant ramen, unfortunately she can't afford to keep getting delivery so she has to go outside. Ugh. With her hood pulled over her head, she walks into the campus store to examine what flavors of instant ramen was available. Buldak was always good, especially the curry flavor one, unfortunately, Buldak was more expensive than the other ramen brands. There was kimchi ramen, that sounds like it would taste good. Jura reaches for a box pack of kimchi ramen. She stacks seafood and vegetable soup flavored ramen on top of it for variety. Chips too. Monster energy drinks. Popcorn. Various crunchy snacks. Have you ever considered eating anything other than junk food? ... 'Since when the fuck did you care?' What's the point of being unkillable if you're not going to live that long anyways? 'Doesn't answer my question.' You didn't answer mine either. 'The answer is none of your business.' Then my answer is also 'none of your business.' ... ... Jura picked up her stock of items and brought them over to the register. ... Jura. 'What.' I'm hungry, Jura. Jura scoffed, 'Aww, poor baby, you can't feed yourself?? Wahh wahh I'm a powerful demon but I can't eat souls unless they're airplaned to me wahhh. Give me a fucking break.' You've been on a break since you enrolled here, I'm losing reason to stick around. 'We had an agreement, asshole.' ... You don't realize who you're speaking with. 'I don't give a fuck. You're not allowed to hurt me.' Jura paid for her food and left the store quickly, unfortunately it's not like Shizu can physically be left behind even after their argument. Even when his towering shadowy form dissipated into smoke, she knew he was there. He was always there.

What a weird day it's turning out to be for Jo Waker. She really needed to stock up on snacks and drinks since her hermit period depleted her stock. Of course, anything bizarre that could possibly happen today seems to come true. Jo hardly has time to do anything when someone suddenly emerges from the store like they're in a hurry, colliding with her. They stagger and nearly trip, but Jo slips a hand around the other person's--a man's?--waist and manages to hastily fix her stance so they both don't go tumbling. But this stranger is now hanging from Jo's arms like they're in the middle of a rather dramatic dance. Blinking, Jo finally takes in some more of the details of this other person, unable to help the wrinkle of her nose at their smell. Had they ever heard of perfume? ...maybe deodorant too, at that. They're not wearing an ounce of make-up either. Oddly, they'd make a kinda pretty guy. Or a strangely beautiful woman. ...how long has Jo been staring? "D'you even watch where you're going?" she demands, the words coming out slightly snappier than intended. (edited)

Jura clicked her tongue at the blondie's tone and pushed herself away, picking up the bags she dropped. Usually, Shizu would have pushed people out the way for her. Guess he was actually mad. -# "...Fucking loud ass bitch." She muttered under her breath then stood up, bags in hand. Jura finally bothered to look at Jo, she looked at her up and down very slowly, her eyes definitely lingered in areas they shouldn't be lingering in but she made no effort to hide her sleazy smirk. "Oh, I'm watching where I'm going, alright." She stepped off to the side and bowed, mockingly. "Excuse me, Princess." Jura began to leave.

He sidesteps whatever weird lesbian fight is going on at the front of the store and purchases a selection of snacks and drinks to bring over for his date with Ren. And then he gets the Fuck outta there.

Jo has the curious, alien urge to let a hand drift defensively over what she can cover of her breasts as the smelly person eyeballs her none too discreetly. They're not even making a teasing show of it like some might when they flirt, they genuinely look like they're just sizing up some goods on a shelf and taking their sweet time with it. Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. What the fuck. Heat fills her face at the other person's comments and only grows more intense at the bow. "Princess?" Jo demands, stepping forward to grab the other person's elbow. "Now just hold on right there, perv. You... you can't just..." She's actually waving an accusing finger at the brunette. The green highlights in their hair bring to mind strips of slime in a garbage can. Why can't Jo think of a single damn thing to say? Ritsu walks briskly past them and into the store and has already left by the time Jo has her wits about her again. "Who the hell do you think you are? Apologise to me. Now. For bumping into me and... everything else," Jo says, imperious.

Gil quickly pays for his medication and exits the store before his headache worsens.

Jura looks down at Jo's hand grabbing her elbow and tilts her head, giving Jo a bored look. She scoffs and rolls her eyes at whatever this woman was yapping about, her accent was too thick to be talking this much. "What, did I bruise you or some shit? Didn't think you were that delicate." Jura doesn't bother trying to yank her arm away. Despite what she said, she was probably the delicate one between the two of them, making a scene of struggling to break free would be pathetic as fuck. Might have to call in Shizu if this woman doesn't let go. ... But it's not like you see hot women everyday, though. "Sayin excuse me should be enough to cover the bumping into you part, dunno what else you want me to apologize for." She yawns to be extra annoying.

Jo's grip on the other person tightens for just a second before she lets go and takes step back with a frustrated sound. She's frowning so hard, she can practically hear the mini-Romeo in her head scolding her about wrinkles. Not that he was one to talk. "You...! Ugh." Obviously for being a perving creep? Duh? That should warrant an apology. But it felt kinda silly to try and start a whole court case about it in the middle of campus outside the general store. And, well, there were probably more than just this rando who eyed Jo up and down every day. This one just had the balls to do so openly right in front of her and without a scrap of shame. Her frown has graduated into a scowl. "My name is Josephine Waker. Now tell me your name so I can excuse you for bumping into me," she drawls. Accent? Thick. Attitude? Heavy. Hotel? Trivago.

The sleazy smirk on Jura's face widened into a maniacal grin and she begins to laugh in Jo's face, she hunched over, her back shaking. God, this lady was so cringe. After a moment, she calmed down and rubbed her elbow, feeling it be a little sore after Jo's tight hold. "Okay, okay, Josephine Waker." she mocks her accent. "Are you gonna ask me for my number next? You know, so you can call me into court for 'You...! Ugh.' Or whatever you wanna accuse me of?"

Jo recoils with a slight sound, mortified to find herself blushing furiously in the wake of the other person's mocking and laughter. Her pale gaze flits furtively around the area to check who else might be witnessing this awful exchange before settling on the offender again with a displeased look. "There are better ways to fish for exchanging numbers than... all this," she grumbles, crossing her arms. Then Jo's eye twitches slightly when she realises crossing her arms only better pronounces a very important pair of assets the sleaze had already been eyeing. She hurriedly drops her arms again with a disgruntled sigh. God, all of this was so stupid. How much crazier could her day get after this? It's genuinely a fight not to hit the other person in front of her. It's getting worse every passing second. "Whatever," Jo finally snaps, turning sharply on her heel to leave, not even bothering with the store anymore. "Didn't wanna know your stupidass name anyway, fucking weirdo."

Dressed in her finest with a pair of expensive sunglasses perched on her nose, Jo carts an Esky on wheels through campus. Laurent sits in the cooler, surrounded on all sides by ice as he grins widely, enjoying the slight bumps of the ride and waving at any students that spot him. She goes into the campus store to pick up some things, rolling Laurent along with her as she searches the shelves.

sits on a far bench away from the heart of the crowd but still close enough to watch as people walk by she has her drawing stuff. She attempts to do something she hasn’t done in a long while and that’s people watching. she had sometime between tasks and was itching to draw. It was a nice day and spring was finally showing itself. (edited)

mairo put the phone away as tears stung her eyes but she refused to let them fall. “Fuck…” That hit her to hard and to close to her heart. She was surprised by the news even if it was a anomaly the fact he called it her nickname made her her feel uncomfortable but the picture and Leo telling her how taiga was sad and doted on the plant baby made her clutch her stomach…. “Oh gods” She felt sick as the memory of her change shot through her head the piercing, pale blue eyes of her demon starring at her as it dug into her abdomen with its beak. She turns over the bench handle and throws up “Agh.” she grabs her stuff and gets up and walks away from the crowd

*He's grateful the store is dead right now, because if someone saw him right now, he'd probably have to transfer. He's wearing... most of the princess look. Most of it. The stupid shitty intruder came at a horrible time and his supplies were beginning to run low, so although he had enough to get him to Princess Levels, he doesn't have nearly as much of the glitz and the glam he usually gives his persona. His 'hair' isn't even braided. It pisses him off. But you wouldn't know that it pisses him off from the way he smiles at the ground, eyes rolling intermittently as he listens to the idiot at the other end of the line. He's smarter than he gives him credit for sometimes, and this.... was truly something. Especially considering all the shit going down on Wickhive lately. And his damn door. He wipes his smile as he heards Zero is rounding the corner and replaces it with a brighter, more polite version. The princess version. He hangs up when he's sure Zero is in earshot and gently slides his phone into his pocket, bowing a little for show. They're in public. He has to.* Je suis désolé for my appearance. I've been a bit frazzled as of late.

He hears the disconnect tone and pulls his phone away from his ear to pocket it. If he hadn't been out of breath from running halfway across campus, his breath might've caught seeing Tomosei so disheveled. The persona was normally so pristine. Infuriatingly perfect. This version was... well it had clearly been by necessity given the state of the goddamn door. "No need to apologize, you said there was some chaos in Frostheim, glad you weren't hurt." He gestures to his hair. "Your hair looks nice down like that.... Uh. I know this is supposed to be an impromptu artifact lesson but would you mind if I grab something at the store real quick? Just a small thing I forgot off campus."

*His hand goes up to his hair at Zero's comment and he pouts, jutting his lower lip out just a bit. Internally, he gags. If Zero says anything about his behaviour, he might kick him.* Oui, that's agreeable with me. I have things to grab myself, so it's quite convenient. May I inquire as to whether or not you brought your artefact with, as well, or shall we focus on mine? *The hand that was carding through his hair drops to an artefact chain at his waist, containing the miniature version of his special artefact. He yanks it off, watches as it becomes full size, and uses it to cover the lower half of his face, narrowing his eyes at Zero.* I'm sure you'll find it quite enlightening either way.

He's about to fumble through his blazer pocket to find his artifact but the display and flourish from Tomo gives him pause. If he didn't know any better, he'd say Tomo was behaving rather coquettish considering he'd just had his door incinerated. Whatever cheeky comment he probably would have made dies as a faint blush joins his demeanor. Thankful he was already flushed from running, let his shins be in danger. He clears his throat and mumbles something that sounds like "Uh. Er. Yeah I have mine with me... yeah." (edited)

Good. *His eyes flicker towards a student milling about and he mumbles something under his breath, staring with narrowed eyes for a single beat before folding his fan up and returning it to his keychain with a graceful smile. Nothing is wrong, he seems to indicate, as he bows and gestures towards the entrance.* You seem rather nervous, Monsieur Yōgai. Are you running a fever? If it's too much of a strain, we can always reschedule our meeting. *(If you reschedule I'll kick your ass so goddamn hard, Kōji, that you'll never walk again, so help me god.)*

"No! No!" He seems to say it a bit too quickly but he doesn't want to reschedule. Truth be told he hadn't seen a lot of the princess and it was a weird balance to strike being concerned for Tomo while being just normal levels of cordial toward the princess. "No. No need to reschedule, please. I'm just a bit flustered is all. You've already gone out of your way enough." "And I want to see you, god damn it!" he adds silently. He step up to the door and holds it open for Tomo. "After you."

Maron wags as he enters the campus store with Chi. So much stuff. He barked as he looked around.. "Hehehe thank you for bringing me here, Chi hi rooo!!!!" He clutched his bag of yen protectively as he walked further in..

chihiro nods and follows after maron. chihiro spots some super cute things, but hes Broke as Hell, so he pouts and follows along "what kind of stuff do you need?"

Maron slows down and wags his tail while thinking.. "Mm.. I want bed cover stuff.. n pillows.. and more snacks.. and andddd.. soaps n stuff .. n cute stuff.." Maron says the last part quietly, with a small smile on his face, his tail wagging wildly.. he looks at Chihiro and giggles before rushing to pick stuff out.. "You can get something too Chi!!! I'll pay!!!!!!"

chihiro smiles and shakes his head. "i wouldnt be able to accept that.....but if you want cute stuff, i have....too much, honestly. or i can show you my favorite online stores...?"

Maron nodded as he grabbed at stuff on the shelves. He smiled at Chi as he bent down to pick up a cream bun he left fall on the floor. "I'd love that!!! Please please!!" His eyes locked onto something across the store.. his tail wagged hard against his leg as he picked up a bedding set..He walked over to Chihiro with a weird look on his face. "Hehehehe.. this bedsheets looks like the same one from this manga i read.. the seme had the cutest stuff... and the uke was this big tough guy hehehehe.. hehehee.." Marons face was weird as he thought to himself.. his tail thumped against his leg .. he played with elastic on his face mask as he turned to look around more..

chihiro blinks a few times. "the.....what..? seme....uke? whats that..?" chihiro looks at him curiously, tail swishing back and forth.

Maron stopped in his tracks and walked up quickly to Chi now. He nearly touched his hands to make a point but remembered not to. "You don't. You really don't know what a seme and uke are? But you.. but Tsubaki .. .." He looked at a lost for words at first.. but then grinned devilishly as his tail began thumping.. "You need to be reading yaoi, Chi. It's very important. When we get back to my room, I'll give you something.. to educate you.. hehehehehhe.." Maron was very excited now.. he could feel himself getting hot in the face.. and thn it started.. a small stream of blood dripping from his left nostril.. (edited)

"...yaoi? is that some kind of ice cream....?" chihiro tilts his head to the side and blinks again. "and seme and uke are the flavors?"

Maron squeals now.. quickly grabbing the things he wants from the store and placing them down to pay. "We have to go to my room right now. I have so much to teach you .. eehhehhehee.. eheheh.. I even have a manga that's like you and Tsubaki.. eheeh" He laughs like a fucking weirdo as he pays, grabbing his huge bag and beckoning Chihiro to follow. He sniffs the air to find the familiar scents and get to his room.

chihiro follows him in a daze. he likes maron. he really does! but ............ .....what could he possibly be ...teaching...him...?

Chiyuki made a bee-line for the campus store, walking hastily with purpose. Today was the day they restocked. Which meant it was Mochi Day. She took a basket and brisky started to load it up with box after box of mochi, one of the only things she could still feel joy towards. Her expression was intense as she kept on adding to the basket until it was overflowing with boxes of mochi. She had made a bit of a rule for herself- only one basket of mochi until the next restock. She didn't want to be one of those people who bought the entire supply on the first day, afterall. Those people were perceived as assholes.

Jura had decided to come back to the campus store because she was craving something sweet, her last food restock was mainly just savory snacks. This is when she sees Chiyuki load up her basket with mochi. ....... Jura glares at her judgmentally, this woman was acting like someone was gonna start stealing the mochi from her. The basket was overflowing at this point, so she decides to catch a box before it fell to the ground. Hah. Hers now. She also wanted some of the candy that was oh so conveniently placed where this freak was standing, scouring for more mochi. "Excuseee me Miss," she reached over, purposefully almost-shoving the other woman to the side.

"Oh. Sorry." Chiyuki apologized plainly, then quickly went back to adding as much as she could to her basket. "You didn't have to shove, though." She muttered before making her way to the checkout counter to drop off her haul. The tall woman left her basket and swiftly paced to the other isles, grabbing items like a robot stuck to a routine. Possible because she was stuck to a routine. Every sixth Mochi Day was also Skincare Day. And every third skincare day was Makeup Day. She had perfectly planned when to buy everything just as she was running low.

Jura watched in disbelief as this woman stocked up on items like it was Black Friday. At this rate, it looked like she was going to empty out the whole store. ..... Jura continued grabbing her sweet treats and placing them in her basket. She also decides to grab some condoms, dropping them in Chiyuki's basket when she and Benkei weren't looking. She checks out her items and begins to leave, standing nearby to see if the woman would react to the silly little prank.

Chiyuki checked out her items with a blank expression and half-lidded eyes- almost looking as if she was about to fall asleep as standing. Her sleepy eyes didn't widen an inch at the little surprise Jura had left in her basket. Condoms.... she supposed it would hurt to have some around even if her partners rarely ever had penises. Perhaps it'd be good to hand out to the students she tutored. With the same quick hands that placed her items into her basket, Chiyuki migrated her spoils into a pastel-colored totebag and returned the basket to the front of the store, giving Jura a nod of acknowledgement as she left. Hopefully that girl wasn't also planning to stock up on mochi.

Maron skipped into the campus store. He decided he needed something a little different for today's date. Last time he was here he had seen a very small section of cosmetics. He picked up every eyeshadow they had, every lipstick, blush, lip gloss and even a perfume that was dusty in the very back of a shelf. He paid quickly and ran back to his room.

walks out of the store with a small bag with one or two items in it as she turns the corner she pulls out several items from her jacket and sleeves and skirt. She puts them in the bag and continues back towards sinostra.

Roux waltzes on in and goes straight to the front counter. She leans across it, raising an eyebrow ath the man on the other side. "What have you got in terms of meat here?" A little while later, Roux walks out the campus store with a brown paperbag in her arms full of purchased goods.
