“E-Eh? You know my…” Well, Ryohei supposed it made sense. He was on the roster. But that was the second person who knew his name! Maybe he should have studied the roster harder so he wouldn’t feel surrounded by strangers… “Uh, yeah! That’s me! Ryohei Seijurou, SHSL High Jumper, at your service! You can just call me Seijurou, though. Everyone does!” He grinned at the other before his eyes widened.
“W-wait, jumping?” he gasped, doing a little excited hop of his own. “Are you Gorou Harada-san??? Wow!!! You’re so cool!!! I wish I could do what you do!!!” There were stars in the poor boy’s eyes. “I- I mean, I like high jump… But I need a mat to land on or otherwise I’ll hurt myself!” Ryohei hurried over to where Gorou stood, practically vibrating with excitement.
“Let’s do our best, Gorou-san!” he shouted, probably a little too loud as he began his exercises. This was the best possible thing that could happen in this situation! Even though all that had happened, Ryohei was still meeting someone who he thought was really cool! Maybe Gorou-san would teach him how to do parkour!!
“Ah, it’d be cool to get to know each other! After all… If we all become friends, maybe– maybe people would want to kill each other less…? Wah!” Ryohei stumbled on a jump, just barely catching himself before he fell to the ground. “Not that I believe that anyone here is c-capable of… I mean…! I’m sorry, Gorou-san! I can’t believe I’m acting so uncool…”
Oh wow someone knew who he was. This was unexpected but also Nice. Nice. And it was Seijurou a fellow...well Gorou didn’t consider himself an athlete but hey there they were. okay so here they were in box world,
“Yeah that’s me m’man. Gorou, you know. From Youtube. Listen i’m glad your all hype and whatever but i’m just a dude. It’s totally not a huge dealio ya dig.”
Oh wow people used mats? Gorou Shrugged as he jumpped himself right up in the air on there. It was a good feeling.
“You mean Nobody Taught you how to land? It’s like. Parkouring 101 you gotta learn to land before you jump off something or like, yeah you’d totally bust ass.”
Gorou smiled and he jumped down instinctively bending his knees and kinda squatting, like he let his body absorb the shock. . Then Ryohei Stared talking about murder. oh right the bear. Duh. They were kinda supposed to murder people. Gorou was still Firmly detached from that whole Scenario. Not that he didn’t care but it seemed so implausible He kinda didn’t want to acknowledge it.
“Hey man it’s cool Like you’re nervous and stuff i get that. and like to be honest 100% someone could murder someone. But it doesn’t like.. it doesn’t have to be like that.”
Gorou’s face went blank as he revved himself up for another jump. He went for it and Missed. But in such a way he jumped over the Pylo and his butt landed on it. He sucked in air through his teeth, which looked like he was smiling.
“Besides if anyone’s most likely to survive it’s us, Have you seen us? We’re Ripped.”
Gorou is laughing like that was funny. .
