Headshot Dynasty (Back in red! RP resumed, accepting 1 new character!)

[Encalade Shinamisu]

"Hey come on everybody! There's nothing wrong with an interesting lunch!"

 

He picks up a peice of sea urchin from his bento box. He dipped it in ginger, soy and then hot sauce. Then he spread a small chunk of wasabi over it...

 

"Dig in!"

 

He dropped the fireball of flavor into his mouth, and in his opinion, it wasn't bad. In fact, it was good. He started taking other peices, and then tried the same with conch. His mouth was full of food, and he stopped to chew and swallow.

 

"You should try it guys, it's really good..."

[Otaku-sama]

Ayumu tried one of Sho's urchins and dresses it the same way. She dropped the urchin into her mouth. She chewed a few times, then her face turned bright red.

"NYAH! TOO HOT!"

She desperately scrounged her lunch box and pulled out a bottle of ramune. She opened the bottle clumsily and downed the whole bottle in a single gulp. She made a relieved sigh.

"Ew...It was ok, but too hot...I'll just eat my onigiri now"

Ayumu continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

[Encalade Shinamisu]

"Can't handle the heat huh? That's okay anyways, I guess my flavor for spicy is an acquired taste... And how did you just down that whole ramune in one gulp?"

 

He remembered the bottles usually have the glass bead at the top and you take the peice of plastic that comes with it to pop the bead into a small glass chamber inside, where the bead can't escape, and you can shake it around when you are done. However, if you drink too fast, the bead would go back in the top, and block off the drink again...

 

"Oh, and did anyone know when the spring break is coming up?"

 

He took a bottle of ramune himself, shirakiki brand, and popped the top down, and drank to his leisure...

[Supreme Gamesmaster]

Uremashii felt a tear come to her eye as she watched Yoshi's defense. Yoshi was stunningly lucky. She had managed to gather a few, elite friends and keep them. She had the lifestyle Uremashii had always wished for.

 

She wasn't nearly as abhorrent as Uremashii, though. Repugnance was so much a part of her, it was her very name. She had another name, but she had long since forgotten what it was.

 

Now she was certain of her life plans after Tartarus, she thought sadly. Not only was her life hell, but she could watch others in heaven! Her only way to heaven was on the other side. If there. If, say, the Abrahamic religions were correct, and not the Greeks, then she'd been created purely to be miserable.

 

Sheesh. Go any lower and you'll rival Nietzche in pessimism.

 

Uremashii had accepted these queer, out-of-character reality checks as part of Atropos's presence long ago. Her only friend... one who couldn't stand up for her, no matter how much she wanted to. And, in the end, was only an extension of her own mind.

 

Still, Atropos was right. Self-pity came later. Planning — on philosophy, mythology, torture, et cetera — came now. As did quiet, painfully envious observations of the SEES organization: as virtuous as the hateful world got, sadly enough.

 

She scribbled away in her sketchbook, in her lonely, unnoticed corner of the cafeteria, until the bell rang.

[Freeshooter]

Katou got up from the table and said "Thanks for the lunch, guys!" He said to the members that brought lunch. Katou's face looked troubled, as he was planning to trap himself inside Tartarus tonight, to explore, and he was figuring out a way to get separated from the group quickly, and unoticeably. His head perked up when he bumped into the senior that had been bugging Yoshi. The student cowered, and then ran away in fear "I guess he's still afraid that we'll team up on him", Katou thought to himself. He then wiped the troubled look from his face and started walking quickly to class.

[Supreme Gamesmaster]

OoC: RESCUEBUMPOFCOOL

[Zexaeon]

OOC; xD Yeah, seriously guys, what's the deal? Yuki can't do anything till later as he has left the current scene, and that leaves you guys.

 

Advance some story, here! =O Rinne, where you at?!

[bury the year]

OOC: In land of dipsh!tism. I can't post nao, but feel free to do filler while I'm in said land. :D

[Encalade Shinamisu]

OOC: sorry guys, I'm on punishment. I probably get my itouch back in a week or two...

[Supreme Gamesmaster]

OoC: BUMP with much angerz. :evil: I've posted nothing but filler in this entire thread, and I've just run out of angst.

[Otaku-sama]

OoC: I guess I'll try to revive this.

IC: Ayumu finished her lunch and walked out. It was 12:15 and she had her little 'appointment'. She snuck to the side of the school and to the soccer field. The players were just finishing up. Some of them were taking their shirts off. Ayumu snicked with her perverted fantasy and she took out a camera. She took a few pictures and snuck back.

OoC: Eww...I feel so filthy after writing that, but that should get the story going again.

[bury the year]

OOC: Read first post and title of thread. I need a break to determine where this should go. Sorry.

 

D:

[Otaku-sama]

OoC: I WROTE THAT FOR NOTHING!?!?!?!?

[bury the year]

OoC: I WROTE THAT FOR NOTHING!?!?!?!?

 

OOC: No. We'll pick up after I get my facts straight.

[bury the year]

(((OK. According to Umbra, it's August 2, so I am officially resuming the Headshot Dynasty RP. This also means that the Advanced Clause is mandatory now, so you must obey the rules, or I will report you. This now includes making an OOC comment without any IC content, so be active! Finally, I am accepting exactly one new character over PM, to make up for the members that left over the hiatus. If you’d like the slot, fill out the app and send it to me.)))

 

Nobody had reacted to the news that Haruto's cousin was returning, and they had continued to eat. Sighing, the teenager shook his head in a bit of mental disgust and pity, and walked away, down the halls in solitude. Quietly listening to the distinct click! of his shoes against the tiled floor, he let his mind wander.

 

‘I feel like such a burden on all the other guys... I mean, I’m pretty weak to begin with, and with my arm and all, I can’t do much anyways... I’m just dead weight, especially on Suou-sempai. He had to lead SEES single-handedly before everyone else came along, so the stress must be killing him for sure.’ Letting out an exasperated sigh, he looked up from his down-facing gaze, and realized he was outside near the soccer fields, a cool breeze tousling his hair as he walked.

 

However, it seems like he wasn’t the only one there. Ayumu, one of the younger students of the group, was pressed up against a bleacher pole, rapidly snapping pictures from her vantage point. Sneaking over softly, as to not disturb her, Haruto looked over at what she was aiming at, and saw that she was taking “candid” pictures of the soccer players. Giving a mischievous smile, the teen quietly tapped her on the shoulder from behind. “Hello, Ayumu-chan. What are you doing out here?”

[Zexaeon]

OoC: I'm assuming you still have that PMd app for the anti-hero/own-agenda chick I applied for?

 

 

 

Yuki's fists were balled tightly at his sides as he continued to stare at the empty space. The space she had just been standing in a moment ago with that torturous grin on her lips, that aloof flick to her step. He felt like the very ground she walked on was tainted, that he would need to go down to the Temples and ask a Monk if he would please come to the school and purify said ground.

 

But what really had him on pins and needles all at once was what she said. How did she know? She had claimed she would never return the Tartarus. Ever. And even if she had been lying about that, he should have been able to sense her if she was on the premisis or anywhere around it, especially considering how familiar he was with her; there was no way she could hide from Valefor.

 

So how could she have possibly known ...? And if she did, did that mean she knew what had attacked them? Was she just going to ignore it?

---

...

 

Was Tori's death no longer of any significance to her?

 

Gritting his teeth and lifting his glasses from his nose, he pressed the heel of his palm to his tightly closed eyes, trying to sooth the sudden headache. Now was not the time to be thinking about this. No...he should be talking to Haruto. He remebered now; the boy had said he had important news to discuss. Yuki....he was the leader of SEES first. Exterminating Shadows, bringing an end to the Dark Hour, protecting humanity, that was his job now. He could worry about his personal ties later.

 

Regaining his composure, he turned on his heel, away from the putrid path of that girl, and headed off to locate Haruto. Wherever he might be.

[Freeshooter]

Katou walked by Yuki quickly with a joyous look on his face. "Here." He passed Yuki a small pill. "It should help that headache of yours." Katou then silently and happily walked to his next class. I wonder... Does Suou-san know something the other SEES members don't? Katou began to write down the answers on his test, finishing in a quick half hour. "Shigehito-san?" Katou thought he was just talking to himself in his head. "Shigehito-san?" The teacher commanded. "Hmm?" Katou said. "Are you finished your test?" "Oh, yes. Arigato." I've decided. I'm going to ask Suou-san about it. Katou declared to himself. He took out a notebook that he brought with him from his locker, and began drawing a map of the corridors he saw in Tartarus, as to assist his plan to trap himself inside of it that night, without any others.

[Otaku-sama]

OoC: Awesome! This is back up! Did I miss anything since the freeze?

[Supreme Gamesmaster]

OoC: That the above post is illegal, yes. :D

 

I will assume, as she's under the accepted character list, that Uremashii-san is still playable.

 

IC:

 

Oh, dear gods above, the pain.

 

Still reeling from the beating she'd just received, the girl was left to lie alone, battered, bruised, slumped against the wall, paralyzed with pain. Her mind was nearly as numb as her body; she could only keep asking herself what she'd done to earn the attack and, on occasion, come up with some accident as a result. Maybe one of her more offensive concepts had slipped out, or maybe she'd forgotten to observe some important custom in one of her less-than-aware moments. Perhaps one of her innumerable falls and missteps had wound up humiliating the attackers. The reasons, obvious to anyone normal, were utterly foreign and bemusing to poor Uremashii.

 

In short, it was another typical day for the buttmonkey of Japan.

[bury the year]

(((Am using my once-per-day bump, so this doesn't count as OOC.)))

[bury the year]

(((Bump. Otaku-sama, if you're on, post so we can continue the plot. >.>)))

[Zexaeon]

OoC: Sigh. I'll do it.

 

 

 

Yuki was slightly startled to be knocked out of his reverie by anunfamiliar hand finding its way to his, placing a pill within his palm as he passed, muttering something about a headache.

 

Yuki's brow raised a hitch as he went. How very convenient that Katou would have just happened along this previously abandoned hallway, knowing not only with a single glance what was ailing Yuki, but even going so far as to having exactly the appropriate medicine on-hand, before moving on his merry way.

 

(((OoC: -_- Take the hint Azure. That was pretty lame.)))

 

Deciding to ignore Katou's strange medicine-keeping habits, he casually tossed the pill aside (like he was going to take a pill that was just handed to him by a student he hardly knew? Please,) and proceeded to take his own path down the hall, emitting subtle sensory signals as he went.

 

It simply wouldn't do to manifest one's Persona in broad daylight - that was both irresponsible and mentally taxing. The Personas needed the Dark Hour to functionproperly. It was facts like that that made Yuki worry sometimes that their own weapons were hardly different from the Shadows.... he shook his head. No. Valefor had been loyal ever since she had manifested for the first time. she could think, and wanted to put a stop to the Shadows. That was all he needed to know.

 

All their similarities meant nothing next to that. In any case, Valefor obviously could not manifest at the moment, but it was not long before her remotely-accessed abilities were leading him to the Soccer field, and shortly thereafter, Haruto was within his sights.

 

Shutting off Valefor's presence within him, he quickened his pace, announcing his arrival as he drew closer.

 

"Ashizuka." he called in his typically apathetic voice. It wasn't....completely...by choice that he spoke like that. It was because it was important for a leader to remain indifferent toward his subbordinates. Of course, it also helped that he honestly didn't care half the time. "I understand you had news?"

[bury the year]

Quite obviously, Ayumu was deep into thought, or in her case, mindless "eye candy collecting", as Haruto would call it. 'Heck, I'm twice as attractive as those posers are,' he thought to himself, with a mental pat on the back. Puffing up his skinny chest in pride, the teen was so engrossed in his own pride that he didn't notice Yuki walk up behind, addressing him with his typical cold manner.

 

'Why the hell is he using yobisute on me?' Haruto thought, mildly ticked. 'We're not that close by a longshot.' Shaking his head, he did an emotional 180, and turned around, plastering a smile on his face. "Oh. Hello, Suou-sempai. I do in fact have a bit of news, but it's not some that you're going to appreciate." Carefully withdrawing a photocopied sheet of paper from his pocket using his non-slinged arm, he extended it out towards his senior. "I was doing some research in the school archives, and it seems like Tartarus has been around for quite a while now. However, the real problem is in the fact that it's still here."

 

Clearing his throat, Haruto tried to give a dramatic expression. "Tartarus was supposedly destroyed 8 years ago during a battle with something called 'the Nyx.' Therefore, my guess is that the one we are in now is a copy of sorts, resurrected by an unknown entity for an unknown purpose. I suggest that some of us stay "overnight" there to do a more indepth investigation into the place, and determine what the heck is going on with it."

 

"If it's okay with you," he added hastily.

[Marly]

Although the lunch bell had rang quite a while ago, Yoshihiro was still in the cafeteria, gathering up the food he dropped while carrying his tray to the rack that held the others. Once he tossed the trash and put the tray away, he looked around the area, trying to locate the other SEES members. To his dismay, none could be seen. Yoshi sighed and continued out of the cafeteria, into the semi-crowded halls of the high school.

 

He quickly turned, and started briskly walking toward his next class. As he passed the student council room, his eye caught something out of the window. It was Yuki, Haruto, and Ayumu at the soccer field. Yoshi glanced at his watched, and, against his better judgment, walked out to greet them.

 

"Hey guys, what are you doing out here?" He yelled curiously, waving from afar as he approached the group, not wanting to be left out of any important announcements or meetings they could be discussing.

[Encalade Shinamisu]

"Ah, I must go."

 

Sho picked up his things, and slung his backpack on. He would go to his Arithmetic and Trig Calc lessons soon. He felt as if he didn't need to though. He was already the most advanced in this school on math. He needed not to worry. He decided to go to his locker and place his bag in there. He walked out to the soccer field to meet up with the others, whom he saw while walking down the hallway. They needed to be less obvious with their meetings.

 

He walked outside, again checking his iPhone. He still wondered who would have called him. He stuffed it back in his pocket. Oddly enough, he expected another call. He looked up to everyone and ran to them in a short sprint.

 

"Hey guys, what's this inconspicuous meeting for?"
