Shin Megami Tensei Persona: Dissonant Strain (Private RP)

[PresqueVu]

Yamada stared at Yoshida for a long moment, trying to decipher his expression, wondering if they'll actually be there or schedule somewhere else to avoid him. He figured they wouldn't go to the trouble and if they did, he'd still be going to the tunnel. He tried to ignore the way Yoshida said his name, now used to the blatant disrespect, but it still bothered him. He still bothered him and wasn't certain just how well he was going to do with anything if they had to work together.

He nodded to them both. "Yoshida-San, Ishikawa-San. I will see you both in half an hour." He gave them a rather stiff bow and turned away to get his things together. He had never considered going off campus when he wasn't supposed to. Had never even wanted to. He hoped that this, whatever it was, didn't interfere with his regular life, but he was sure that it would.

Kojiro's head looked back and forth between the two other teenagers. "Make sure you bring something to defend yourself!" Kojiro called after Yamada; he then turned to Isoroku.

"Roku, what the hell? He could have come to eat with us...It would be easier to give him a brief over view then rather than during out exploration." Kojiro followed along behind Isoroku, wondering just what the hell caused his friends crazy mood swings.

Kumiko made her way to the gate just before the thirty minute mark. She may have been headed to a dangerous place, but that didn't mean she wasn't going to dress nicely.

She leaned against the wall beside the gate waiting for Eber.

 

[Cinnonym]

Eber watched Yukimura pass as he was leaving and entered the Kendo room, leaning on the door frame. "...Was he sneaking around again?" He tossed his head in the general direction of the exiting student.

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro sighed and nodded, "Yes he was. Apparently he too has had the dream, so Yamada-san will be coming with us tonight." He ran his fingers through his hair, "Damn, we're getting more people involved and we still don't even know how dangerous it is! We have to get that device at least. This can't continue, we're going to get someone hurt."

 

[Cinnonym]

The German gave a low whistle, "Senpai is going to be very angry to discover six students have vanished tonight."

 

[duckflesh]

"Yeah, well, Senpai can blow me," Isoroku said, glowering.

He took a deep breath, and pushed down his frustrations about Yamada. He enjoyed having an enemy, after all. If that enemy was going to be included in this business, didn't that make things all the more fun? Worries that Yamada would win his friends over were probably unfounded... after all, the boy was something of a social pariah. There was probably nothing to worry about.

"We're only breaking up to go get our gear, aren't we?" he asked Kojiro, shrugging. "He can still come to dinner with all of us. I didn't mean otherwise. Where do you guys want to eat?"

Once he and Kojiro reached the dormitory, he went up to his room and rearmed, jamming his pistol in his waistband and sliding two extra loaded clips into his pocket. It took only a moment, and once Kojiro was ready they headed back to the Kendo room.

 

[Cinnonym]

Eber stayed behind while the two prepared but was still in the room when they returned, eyeing the Kendo swords with disapproval.

 

[PresqueVu]

Yamada collected his best spear. It was worn, but beautiful. He wrapped it up tight to try to arouse less suspicion and dropped off what he didn't need. He came just with his most necessary belongings. He returned early to their meeting spot, always the punctual one and saw the exchange student there when he came inside. He wondered how to explain himself, and came up with nothing, choosing just to nod to him instead, worried the others would decide against this.

Rin returned to the Kendo room, after taking her brief walk to clear her head. She nodded to the others as she entered the room. She hadn't really achieved any sort of revelation on her walk. But it had cleared her mind a bit, so she did feel better.

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro gathered his supplies and walked with Isoroku back to the Kendo room. Once there he took note of Fridmund eying the swords. he parted from Isoroku and walked up to the German, "See something interesting?"

 

[Cinnonym]

He rubbed his chin thoughtfully before glancing over his shoulder at him, "I do not understand why your people cling to their history so."

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro stared at Fridmund for a moment before laughing. "Oh man, Frimun, every culture has something from their past they hang on to. However, I'm not that fond of Kendo- I'm just really good at it." Kojiro reached down and pat the long box tucked under his arm that contained his rapier. "Actually, I'm much better at fencing. That's why I take my practice rapier instead of a kendo sword."

 

[Cinnonym]

Eber rolled his eyes at Kojiro's observations. No matter what he said about different cultures, it was quite clear to him the differences between this and the western world.

"Whatever you like."

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro looked around the room, "So are we all ready to go?"

 

[duckflesh]

Isoroku smirked when he saw Yamada's wrapped spear, but otherwise ignored him. As Kojiro wandered away, he nodded to Rin and Mizushima.

"Girls. Ready to kick in some shadowy heads? And, erm... hit them with books, as well?"

 

[PresqueVu]

Yamada stood near the back, but was ready for it, he just wasn't sure he was comfortable with everyone else so soon. He wasn't even that used to the first two, let alone everybody else. His mind was racing with the possibilities of what he was going to see and learn tonight.

 

[Daren58]

Rin gave a small nod. "I'm ready to go." She looked a little embarrassed at Isoroku's comment and pulled the small bag holding her book closer to her chest.

 

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro again ushered everyone out to lock up the room. "So where are we going to go until the time?" He asked Isoroku as the group walked towards the gate.

 

[Cinnonym]

Eber folded his arms and followed the group wordlessly, glancing ahead to the gate to be sure Mizushima's there waiting for them.
