Shin Megami Tensei Persona: Dissonant Strain (Private RP)

[Rosen2012]

Kojiro stood silently in front of the back doors to the resturant, "I just have things to take care of that can only be done on the weekend. Just get the others a leave me the voice mail."

He quick hung up the phone before she could ask again or before he was late to work. He wasn't sure which. He could have just told her he was going to work... Rin didn't seem as judgmental as the other girls. But he still didn't want to tell her. She always reacted oddly to things...He wasn't sure...Whatever. It was his secret, he didn't want to share it.

People didn't need to be so nosy anyway. He headed into work.

 

[Daren58]

Rin felt a little dejected when he hung up on her. She hadn't meant to come of as nosy. She gave a small sad sigh as she went to call up one of the others. That is til she realized she didn't have anyone's phone number but Kojiro's and Isoroku. Things had moved so quickly the other night she hadn't gotten a chance to get everyone's number. Rin quickly got out of bed and made sure her hair looked alright before pulling her shoes on. 'Maybe if I ask around the dorm someone could point me in the right direction to find Kumiko.'

Rin ask around the dorms if anyone had seen Mizushima. But most girls pointed in the wrong direction or couldn't understand her nervous mumbling. Eventually someone tells her they saw her running with the German student. So she heads outside to find her.

 

[ShadowFolk]

While she awaited an answer from the two boys she saw Junsui's figure approaching. Her eyebrow rose, "Well lookie there." her hand went up, fingers wiggling in a sort of wave. "Hey, Junsui-san."

 

[Daren58]

Rin saw Mizushima waving her hand slightly. She quickly hurried closer and noticed that both Yamada and Fridmund were with her. "Ah Mizushima-san, I was just looking for you. Though I'm glad you two are here as well Yamada-san and Fridmund-san. I just got a call from Kojiro and he wanted me to find out when everybody could meet tonight."

 

[Cinnonym]

Eber smiled brightly at Rin, interested to see a new(er) face. "Senpai. I have hardly gotten the chance to speak with you, so it is good to meet you properly. As for a meeting place, ah, we were just discussing it..." The German frowned, tapping a finger to his lips, "To gather in a dorm common area would be suspicious as well."

He paused for a long moment while he considered the dilemma.

"...Could anyone get a key? For the main building, or gymnasium?"

 

[ShadowFolk]

Kumiko shook her head. "I've got nothing. The only thing I have access to is the soccer field." she joked, as the field wasn't even gated.

 

[PresqueVu]

He turned to Junsui and nodded in greeting to her. Yamada frowned considering it. "It's good to see you Junsui-San." I would say that I could get one for us, but the best way to do that is to get one from either Seiya-Sempai or our vice president. They may allow me though, but everyone else would have to sneak inside."

He paused, considering it. "Do you think anyone is going to check after hours? I'd not expect them to, but I suppose it's possible."

 

[Daren58]

Rin considered it for a moment. "I don't see why they would check." She glanced at Fridmund and Mizushuima to see what they thought.

 

[ShadowFolk]

"There's a chance they'd check the outside. But I doubt they'd go as far as to search the inside. Why would anyone sneak out after curfew to break back into campus? We should be ok. Providing we don't get caught trying to get in there." she shrugged.

 

[PresqueVu]

Yamada thought over it for another moment. "I can try to get that key from them, but we need to have a backup for if that doesn't work. Are there any other suggestions?"

 

[Cinnonym]

Eber nodded, "True... If we were to meet inside, the library or the locker rooms--it is all fair game. We need only a key, or at least for tonight, a way to get everyone involved inside undetected. ...And without these blasted key cards."

He shrugged. "If not that, we may as well meet off campus. We must become accustomed to sneaking outside in any case."

 

[Daren58]

Rin nodded at Fridmund. "Thats true. Hmm um well if we do have to sneak outside again does anyone have a new suggestion for where we could wait besides the ramen shop from before?"

 

[ShadowFolk]

There's another nod from Eber, "Very well. should we fail to secure the school building, we will instruct the others to meet us at the ramen shop. Are we agreed?"

-----

Kumiko sounds off in agreement.

 

[PresqueVu]

Yamada nods as well. "Yes. That can do for now." He stood and ran a hand through his hair again, then his face scrunched a bit in thought. "Has anyone seen Seiya-Sempai today?"

 

[ShadowFolk]

"Ah...Now that you mention it, I am certain I saw her as I was jogging. She was being dropped off at the gate by a man I did not recognize. Perhaps she is on her way to the girls' dormitories."

---

Kumiko tilted her head in thought, unsure if she'd seen her. But if Eber said he saw her, that as good enough. She then wondered who the man could have been. "Well, if any of us have a shot at getting that key from Seiya-senpai, it's Yamada-san."

 

[PresqueVu]

He paused for a moment, then nodded. "Maybe I can catch her." He nodded and ran toward the girls' dorm in hopes of catching her. He wanted to question her about everything, but was sure that'd impede his ability to get what they needed. He debated as he scanned the lawn for her.

 

[ShadowFolk]

Hikaru is heading up the walk way to the girls' dorms as Eber predicted, presumably having stopped off at the Student Council room or the Faculty Office before hand. She still has a duffel bag over her shoulder, her clothes and necessities from visiting her family's home. She seems preoccupied.

 

[PresqueVu]

Yamada trotted up to her. "Excuse me, Seiya-Sempai." He noticed her baggage and felt bad for intruding on her time. "I'm sorry to bother you on your day off, but I was wondering if I could ask you something." His mind raced with questions and he decided then he had to bring it up at their meeting. See what it was they knew about Seiya.

 

[ShadowFolk]

Kumiko watched has Yamada took off in a hurry. "I didn't think he'd take off quite that fast." she blinked. "Maybe we should tell him we see Seiya-senpai more often. It'd definitely improve his running. Should we go after him, nah, might as well wait, right? He has to come back this way anyway." While she waited, she started doing cool-down stretches.

-----

Eber gives a solemn nod. "I find it unusual that someone like Seiya-senpai would go against the will of Igor. There must be more to her mission than at first meets the eye."

----

"Oh, Yamada..." She smiled at him with just the slightest hint of disappointment, "You weren't at the animal shelter this morning... Of course, what did you want to ask?"

 

[PresqueVu]

Yamada paused for a moment, eyes growing wide. He couldn't believe he'd forgotten. This new addition to his life was not going to be easy to juggle, but he was just going to have to try harder. It wasn't enough.

"I'm very sorry, Seiya Semapai." He bowed to her, seeming a bit awkward due to his height. "It won't happen again."

He nearly forgot what he'd come to her in the first place. When he spoke he seemed a bit sheepish. "I was wondering if I could borrow the key for the gymnasium? I was hoping to do some extra practice after cram school."
