People laughing, snack bowls cluttering, music blasting. The party is a lively display of everyone unwinding after such a hectic month, and it's only going to get more tense with the Grand Sports Festival this upcoming week. But with what I see in the dorm's common room, with a red cup full of punch in my hands, it's just bunch of teens having a good time, proud of the effort that's brought us this far! It's also incredible what a bunch of high school freshmen were able to put together to celebrate!
"Behold this wondrous potato chip," Doraikawa exclaims from the snack table, "Its brilliant golden sheen that matches the rising sunrise! I say, this one is shaped like face of Queen Victoria! And dipping it in this disgustingly foul French onion dip is such an outstanding paradox of ugly and beauty! *chomp* Oooh, how wonderfully awful!"
"Doraikawa, you good, buddy?" Yabusame calls from his bean bag chair, focused in his Smash Brothers match with Karakuri, "A chip's a chip, man, no need to be chipper with a chip off your shoulder."
"Distractions will be your downfall, Yabusame!" Karakuri taunts, her purple hair of glittery silver waving about, "My up-tilt followed by up-air with the down-tilt spike will three stock you so badly that your baseballs will fly out of the park!"
"Cool," Yabusame shrugs.
On another corner of the room, speakers were borrowed from the Shiketsu music room and set up with a microphone for a mini karaoke stand. There, Asui gently and cheerfully holds her microphone as she twirls around to the music.
♪Whenever those days come, ♪
♫You tell me how precious I am,♫
♪All those words you say, everything's alright, ♪
♫From nobody to somebody, ♫
♪I become a very special me! ♪
"Can I see that?" Kusari asks, pointing at the mic with a mischievous smirk.
"Ah! Of course!" Asui happily hands the mic to Kusari as he-
HEAVY BOOTS OF LEAD,
FILLS HIS VICTIMS FULL OF DREAD,
RUNNING AS FAST AS THEY CAN,
IRON MAN LIVES AGAIN!
...Not quite my taste. As I look around further, I notice that Kyokan is sitting right next to the music player. He's just sitting with a blank expression... I think I'll try talking to him.
"Hey Kyokan, how you doing?"
"Hello..." Kyokan says as he looks up from his seat, "Don't mind me, simply enjoying myself to some music as I watch the others."
"Don't you want to be-"
"My apologies..." Kyokan says as he points to his ear in the loud music, "I cannot hear you."
"I said, don't you want to be with everybody else?"
"I'm alright, really. I simply enjoy the music, is all. Please..."
What a weird dude... Oh well, if he's comfortable. I spot Shiozaki and Marie huddled over a TV screen.
"What are you girls doing?" I ask.
"We're watching a movie!" Shiozaki beams, "It's called Quaking of the Dead, with lead actor Yo Shindo! Also known as Vibrations Hero: Grand, *sigh* and he's such a dream...."
"Puh-lease," Marie rolls her eyes, "He's not even that hot. Not compared to Shoto."
"Oh no, Hakagame!" Shindo grieves on the screen, "Your body's been sliced in half! Even so... you look just as beautiful!"
