Shokudaikiri Mitsutada | Touken Ranbu

[candlecutterpikachu]

[ Probably one of the sports types, takes engineering or some other physics course. Active in fraternities, the fencing club, and other social stuff. ]

humans vs zombies, all bets are off, friendships mean nothing

[havocking]

[If he feels like he's being watched, that's because he is. Indoors, it's safe - the cafeteria, student union, class buildings, and dorm hallways are all locations where the game is considered not to be in effect, in order to keep non-participants from getting hurt by the zombies that are chasing the humans, or the humans that are throwing socks or shooting nerf guns or whatever the weapon of choice in this particular game is.

Midare is a zombie, and he's got his sights set on Mitsutada. He's watching... waiting... watching some more... this is probably getting kind of creepy, all things considered.]

[candlecutterpikachu]

[ Unfortunately for Midare, Mitsutada is lingering near the entrance to the cafeteria. But fortunately for Midare, he isn't quite paying attention to his surroundings right now, being on a call to one of the other 'human' players.

It seems they're discussing where the main pack of zombies was last seen heading to. Which Midare certainly isn't part of. ]

[havocking]

Come on... just a little further...

[Midare is mumbling to himself from where he's half-hiding as he watches him. If he steps just a little further from the cafeteria entrance, he'll be fair game for him to swoop in and tag him. As long as he stays on his right, he's pretty sure he can get him without much trouble.]

[candlecutterpikachu]

[ Mitsutada isn't one to pace, but this is an exceptional circumstance after all. He doesn't move until he hangs up, slipping his phone back into his pocket before taking a few steps forward.

If there's any time Midare can possibly get in a hit, it would be now. ]

IV-04

[rekishiya]

[Not a lot of people tend to show up for his history lectures, and for good reason. Coupled by the fact that he shows up early, there is hardly anyone in the hall, and he doesn't realize he went to the wrong one.

And you know what they say about old age...]

Mitsutada-kun, you're early as well I see.

[candlecutterpikachu]

[ He looks up from his book and calculator, confusion written all over his face. ]

Professor Mouri? This is the engineering class.

[ Unless his lecturer invited a History teacher? ]

[rekishiya]

Eh? Ah, isn't the hall saved for my lecture on western influences in Japan?

[That old headscratch again.]

What should I do then...

[Time to lug around his box of reference texts and the Apple laptop he never quite figured out.]

[candlecutterpikachu]

Where are you headed to, sir?

[ Setting aside his work for now. It won't hurt to help someone out. ]

I-03

[zeromotivation]

[Akashi wasn't exactly looking for him, he wasn't even walking for that matter, but there he was, the guy he had seen naked more times that he could count.

Not like it was a bad view, but he was getting tired of it.]

Hey you, with the hair.

[candlecutterpikachu]

[ Mitsutada looks up from the notes he was perusing, absent-mindedly spinning the pen in his hand. ]

What about it?

[ 'The hair...?' Okay, granted it was slightly dyed (just slightly, mind you), but it shouldn't attract that much attention. ]

[zeromotivation]

[Have an eyebrow raise.]

What's your name?

[candlecutterpikachu]

Kashoku Mitsutada. Why?

[ Setting aside his calculator now. ]

1-10 i promised an explosion.

[hoasen]

[Mitsutada may have heard of the situation just little while ago about the dorm alarms going off but there was no fire! What could it have been?

Alas, it turns out there was a fire. It was only stopped in time. And the victim was his hotpot that was borrowed for a roommate's party.

This is why Sen is outside his dorm room right now, knocking on the door, with one burnt up piece of cookware, and another new one in a box.]

beautiful

[candlecutterpikachu]

[ He hadn't really heard about the fire until he came back to the dorms, having been in the swimming pool at that time. Tsurumaru informed him of it - and he was surprised, but for the exactly wrong reason in that the claim was actually true instead of something fabricated.

So he opens the door, hair still slicked back from the shower. ]

Hey, Sen. Need something?

[ Then he actually sees what's in her hands, and he just... stares. ]

... really?

i can't believe this

[hoasen]

[It's a good thing too, because that minor explosion was also a giant ass drop on her pride. Sen does not fail cooking, nor does cooking fail during her supervision! Unfortunately, the second happened.

Now, about this situation, she's noted that he's fresh out of the shower. Welp. Please ignore everything that is happening to her face.]

A-ah, I hope I am not interrupting anything. [CLEARS HER THROAT before she has to address the other issue at hand. He's certainly worked it out. And she's guilty as hell even though it's not even her fault!]

But...ah...yes, I apologise deeply, Mitsutada! I did not expect this to happen, but I have taken responsibility for this. [And you know, everything right now.]

believe it

[candlecutterpikachu]

[ Well, he supposes he can't complain, especially since she went to the lengths of getting him a new one. ]

It's fine, don't worry about it. [ He knows he can trust Sen to clean up after anything unfortunate, so he'll just let it slide.

And then he actually notices her face. ]

Hey, you okay? You look a little dazed.

iv-8

[birthmarkless]

[ Alright, with the breaks over, lunches had, and stupid chatters done, it's now the time to get into class. And apparently, the said classroom is somehow on the fifth floor.

Glancing slightly at his classmate on his side, he makes a small grin as he indicates the stair. ]

How about it?

[ Mitsutada probably knows what he's implying. They may looks like they're cool and shit all the time to others, but honestly, they're both pretty silly on their own levels. ]

[candlecutterpikachu]

[ The fifth floor shouldn't be a problem for seasoned stair-climbers like them. Plus, they were both on athletic teams, so it wouldn't even put them out of breath. ]

You're on. Loser buys a soda for the winner!

[ It's silly things like this that makes school bearable, really. But it doesn't mean he's not going to put all his effort into this...! ]

we need sonic bgm here

[birthmarkless]

[ Ha. He won't have it any other way.

By the way, with the soda as the stake, you can bet that Ookurikara is already dashing his first leap of stairs already. Catch you later, friend. ]

exactly

[candlecutterpikachu]

[ Mitsutada bolts after his best friend, his unzipped jacket flapping behind him. Let's hope they don't run into anyone along the way... or something falls out of their bags.

Because he'll actually be obliged to go back and pick it up. Maybe Kuri can use this to his advantage... ]

II-04

[helmsplitter]

Hey.

[The word would sound more like the greeting it was meant to be if it wasn't attached to this face and the voice could sound anything less like it was tinged with murder, but what can you do, it's how he was born. That and he's been sitting up all night writing five papers on military history and strategy, only to find this dumb USB stick left behind on the desk rather than his USB stick with the aforementioned five papers on military history and strategy. They are due tomorrow morning and he needs them now.

This is one of the only other guys he remembers seeing in the IT center when he'd been down there, so Dotanuki thrusts the offending piece of not-his tech out toward him. It took him two hours to find you, you jerk.]

This yours?

[candlecutterpikachu]

[ Mitsutada looks up from the pile of notes he had been perusing, pen still absent-mindedly spinning in his hand? ]

Uh? I have mine.

[ Pointing to a stick that looks exactly like the one in Dotanuki's hand. ]

Wait...

[ Unless.... he swapped theirs without noticing. He hasn't actually used it since he left the IT center, so maybe that's why... ]

... it's yours?

[ no don't just space out like that donut will have your head ]

[helmsplitter]

It's mine.

[He didn't mean to sound so possessive, but that stick contains the better half of his life right now and he needs it back. He also needs to unsee all the stuff you had on your stick, since he spent a good part of his time in a sleep deprived state opening every single file to see if he'd simply named his files incorrectly or if they'd been overwritten by some jerk with a vendetta against simplicity.

Dotanuki is far too tired to growl, but if he could, he would be. Right now.

He stalks closer and shoves the USB stick at Mitsutada.]

Where the hell have you been all day? I've been lookin' everywhere for that.

[candlecutterpikachu]

Studying, I guess? [ no that's not the point here ] I'm really sorry. Here.

[ There is about a three-second pause before his brain actually finishes processing the full implication of having his USB handled by someone else. ]

Wait... did you really...?

[ IT'S NOT LIKE HE KEEPS ANYTHING INCRIMINATING INSIDE... except for recipes and instagram photos and pictures of his work, which totally aren't things that anyone would expect him to do. Like knitting and dorm room re-decoration.

God, Dotanuki's going to think he's so uncool. ]
