You have powers? That's nice. Now you don't. Time to see how the other half lives.

[ he's only doing it to POISON IT even if it tastes like heaven ]

I'm actually vice president, Milly is president. Honestly, I show up for meetings. Milly has a good head on her shoulders and she's quick to give direction or plan out what all needs to be done for events.

[sprawled]

[this is the best tasting poison he's ever had.]

[he nods, absently wondering why he feels so warm and relaxed. must be the ambiance.] She seems very capable. Have you known her for a while?

[because maybe he can use that.]

[doasisay]

I have known her for a while. I've actually know her since I came here... Well, middle school actually. [ he looks like he's thinking about it, staring at his coffee cup in his hands.

their first meeting was actually the worst thing that had happened in his life besides what had happened to his mother ]

[sprawled]

You're not originally from here? You seem to fit in. [that might have been a barb to imply he's a snob.

lmao wow Lelouch that's incredibly awkward sorry.]

[doasisay]

[ pfft would you expect a former prince to NOT act like a snob? and yes, that was horrible ]

I went to a different school with my sister. We were transferred over here with my father's business.

[sprawled]

[good point.]

Leaving your friends must have been hard. [haha jk he bets Lelouch never had any friends!]

[doasisay]

Not really. I actually gained more friends here than I had before... I used to live with my best friend and my sister. They're both still a big part of my life.

[sprawled]

[He nods, suppressing a yawn. Where did that come from?]

I live with my sister too. She's my only family...so I understand.

[doasisay]

Really? That's actually surprising. I thought you might've been an only child.

[sprawled]

No, but I am the oldest. Are you the youngest, Lelouch?

[doasisay]

No, I'm the oldest. [ actually middle child, but we won't go there! ]

[sprawled]

[same but amnesia's a bitch. he rests his chin on his palm and starts to slouch, looking surprised when he catches himself.]

That's strange...

[doasisay]

What is? That we're both the oldest and have younger sisters?

[sprawled]

No--I guess that too? I'm suddenly tired.

I thought coffee was supposed to keep you awake.

[doasisay]

It should make you more awake. [ he looks concerned, standing up for a moment ]

Maybe...you should get home. You don't look very well.

[sprawled]

[he shakes his head.] It's not a big deal, I'm fine. [he'll just go to bed early tonight or something.]

[he reaches for his cup, thinking maybe he just didn't drink enough, but he drops it and it spills all over!]

Shit. Sorry...

[doasisay]

Hey, hey, don't worry! [ he reaches for a few napkins, mopping it up from the table. he reaches up to put a hand on the other's shoulder ]

Guess you've been pushing yourself a little in your studies, let me help you get back to your dorm.

[sprawled]

I... [maybe Lelouch is right. he should be embarrassed to be seen like this around someone so full of themselves, but he's more worried about Ayumi, and what if he's sick and she catches it?]

Maybe you're right. I can get back, I'm sure you have other things you need to do.

[doasisay]

Are you sure? I don't mind helping you at all.

[sprawled]

I'm sure. They're not too far so I'm fine...

[he stands up, intending to take the napkins and throw them away, but instead he nearly collapses and catches himself, yawning heavily. was this why his ability wasn't working?]

We should hang out some other time.

[doasisay]

I'd like that. [ he smiles, going over to the door to hold it open for him ] Get home and get yourself in bed.

[sprawled]

Thanks...I'll see you soon. [he's so embarrassed. he just made a complete idiot out of himself. Yu starts to walk to the dorms, but he doesn't get very far until he really does collapse this time, in a deep sleep.]

[doasisay]

[ Lelouch does end up coming to help him...though, there's a girl who's also helping him. they both carry Yu to where he probably thinks is the dorms, unfortunately, it isn't anywhere close.

whenever Yu wakes up, he'll find himself strapped to a chair. he'll be alone in a dark room with a large light over his head and only the ticking of a clock to be heard ]

[sprawled]

[he dreams about a face he can't fully see. when he does wake up, it's gradual, and hazy. when had he managed to walk back to the dorms? did he just not remember doing so? or had someone helped him? he thought he could remember being carried, but had he imagined that?]

[it's bright, and there's something awful hammering in his head. it takes him a second to realize that it's not in his head, but a clock. confused, he tries to leave, only to panic and begin to struggle out of the straps that confine him.]

Let me out!!! I don't know who did this, but why don't you show your face to me?!

[he tries to get a look at his surroundings, but he can't make out anything. is he alone? is some creep about to kill him?! what about ayumi? he can't leave her alone, he can't die. his heart starts to pound and he begins to hyperventilate, struggling again. maybe if he can get the chair to fall forward he can do something.]

[doasisay]

[ at the call, a masked figured appeared before him out of the darkness of the room. there was breathing heard from behind the mask. obviously, they were human.

the voice that followed from behind the mask was one that was muffled by a voice changer ]

I should be asking you the same thing. Why have you come here? What is your intent in Britannia? Are you a spy for the Empire?
