Watch Your Words: Mayu and Daisy Social Link 1

[winterandwhimsy]

Mayu didn’t want to admit to her senpai that she was still inexperienced in… well everything, besides the “pointing and shooting” part. Archery club did well enough to teach her that. The only problem was, without anyone that specialized in support, she was stuck on the outskirts of Poseidon. Since she was on.. What would you call it? “Stay at the entrance and try to see the path” duty? Since she was on whatever you wanted to call it–A job she didn’t want to admit that she did rather poorly–she had seen little action. So the idea of practicing actually sounded exciting, as lazy as the little brunette was. 

“Sounds good! I’ve been working on my draw speed, you know, for when I get out there and spear some Shadows.” Mayu smiled eagerly. “I’ll be sure to make SEES proud! I’ll perform better than I, uh, have up until now. You know, when I’m in my element. Following you, senpai!”

Another small smile pulled the corner of the older teen’s mouth upward. She had been working, hmm? That was good...maybe he didn’t have to be so hard on her? Well, no, it was better she be prepared than not. He’d remembered when he’d first gotten his evoker. The job had proven to be much more difficult than he expected. That was something he didn’t want to be proven to his newer team members.

He hadn’t spoken much on his way downstairs but simply gave small nods in response to Mayu’s attempts at making conversation, with the occasional grunt of approval. He’d stopped at the foot of the stairs to the basement and reached around a wall to flick on the lights, revealing what looked like a moderately sized dojo, small consoles like the monitoring equipment on the top floor of the dormitory. “Denset and I use this place for our usual physical training. I think I’ll introduce Noriko to it in the next few days as well.” Hopefully the two of the would appreciate it, being able to hone their combat skills outside of such a dangerous area as Atlantis.

The brunette strolled further in, stopping about halfway down the floor to turn and look at Mayu with a small smirk. “Ya want a demonstration?”

Watch Your Words: Mayu and Daisy Social Link 1

Mayu’s face fell when Daisuke started scolding her for staying up late. Wasn’t it a Sunday tomorrow? She could sleep all day tomorrow, if she wanted to. There weren’t any tests coming up… Still, she didn’t want to make him angry at her. She reached for the remote defeatedly when Daisuke’s face changed. 

"Hm? Oh! Okay, Daisy— Daisuke-Senpai!" Mayu rushed over to her dresser where she kept her non-uniform clothes. Grabbing some, she rushed past Daisuke to the bathroom, quickly changing into her out-of-school attire: jeans, a black graphic shirt, and a sweatshirt. She jumped out of the bathroom, still pulling on her sneakers.

"What are we gonna do, senpai?" Mayu said as she hopped, tying the last lace. The idea of hanging out with a 3rd Year was already exciting, but she had a kind of respect for Daisuke, as a fellow Persona user and as someone who seemed sure in who they were.  

Plus, his hair was really cool.

He wouldn't admit that Mayu's sudden excitement made him feel warm inside. It was more of a...flattered warm than anything. Or was it? Flattered, or...was it simply that warm feeling someone felt when a person seemed at their beck and call? He didn't know. He was just positive that for a first year, such enthusiasm was both appreciated and adorable. His expression softened slightly as Mayu scrambled to change her clothes, and the teen leaned against the frame of her door, waiting in silence.

He watched as the younger teen hopped out of the bathroom, slightly amused smile tugging at his lips as he'd stood up straight. "We're gonna do a little training." He said, patting the hilt of one of the swords strapped firmly to his waist. "You ain't too good at shadow fighting yet, right? It ain't the dark hour anymore, but it's a helluva lot easier to get some actual maneuverin' in when there ain't any fuckin' rain to keep you from thinking straight...ah..." Was he being too casual again? Probably. Daisuke pushed off of the doorway and turned to head down the hall and toward the stairs, speeding up only as Mayu fell into step with him. "Anyway, uh. There's some training equipment in the basement, so we can use that. C'mon."

Mayu was totally sucked into the action on the screen when Daisuke’s knock startled her out of her trance. Rubbing her eyes to adjust to the dark, Mayu let the comforter fall, revealing tastefully oversized unicorn pajamas. 

"Hmph—?! Oh! Hiya, Daisy-semmp." She quickly swallowed the last of her circus cookies and glanced over at the clock by her bedside. "Yeah, it’s like twelve-thirty-sum’n… Kill La Kill time!" Mayu chuckled, before speculating on why Daisy was awake too. She hadn’t seen much of him, especially since he was so busy with his family. Though, truth be told, she really hadn’t seen much of him mainly because she was relatively new to the SEES dorm. Though not the complete newbie anymore—thank you Aya—she still felt that she didn’t know her teammates well enough. Which of course was going to change.

"Oh! I can turn down the volume if it’s keeping you up or anything. Or you can watch if you wanna…" She smiled, and offered

"Daisuke." He corrected simply. The teen stood straight and spared a glance at the TV. He knew the scene well, despite it currently being in English. Satsuki and Ryuko's first fight had been in progress. The brunette was quiet as he'd watched Ryuko being tossed into a building, but quickly tore his gaze away to focus on the underclassman before him with a small frown. Granted, he would have wanted to watch KLK at this moment...but it was too late for that...nor was it a thing he wanted to do in the dorms, either.

"Should be asleep this late at night." Though hushed, the scolding edge to Daisuke's voice was unmistakable. "We've got a DVR, yanno. Staying up this late's just gonna get in the way of yer grades...or yer training. We don't need you dead on yer feet by time the Dark Hour comes around. Get some rest." His words had a finality to them, like a parent whose tone didn't invite argument. It was then, that he'd turned to leave...but stopped...it was Saturday. Why was he being such a stickler for bedtimes on the weekend? Especially since Mayu was only a first year. She was still a kid, really, and he...that was probably a bit harsh. "On second thought..." He muttered, leaning back to look at Mayu again. "Putcher clothes on and bring yer weapon. Since you're up, I'm gonna show ya some things."

The dark hour had passed, and the world was at peace again. The time was 12:30… and Kill La Kill was on Toonami.

Mayu huddled on top of her messy bed, her dinosaur patterned comforter covering her body like a cocoon, dirtying her crumpled sheets with crumbs of circus animal cookies. Onscreen, Ryuko and Satsuki were locked in the first battle of the series. Another rerun, though Mayu never minded. There was no school on Sunday, so no problem, right?

The noise of the TV wasn’t up terribly loudly, since Mayu had her sleeping floormates to consider, but she was so engrossed in the episode—and her delicious sugary animal cookies—that any outside noise didn’t register. All that mattered in that moment was anime, cookies, and a warm blanket. Sleep could wait.

There were many reasons why Daisuke had been awake past midnight on a near constant basis. Sometimes, he had files to go over, sometimes shadow activity to monitor, sometimes homework he'd otherwise been too busy to get to until that precise time of night. Tonight, however, the reason had been for training. Truth be told, despite Ms. Noriko's interesting ability to summon multiple personae during the dark hour, Daisuke still hadn't been convinced that it would make her a good leader.

...More plainly, she was still wet behind the ears, interesting or not...so slacking while he'd taken his time off to deal with his family's affairs was not an option he wanted to consider.

Daisuke had outfitted himself plainly, a duller, more simple version of his usual, complicated outfit to wear while the'd ventured out during the dark hour, and had planned to leave swiftly and quietly, hoping that Marina hadn't still been awake to question him.

He'd strode briskly through the halls and down stairs, hands on hi weapons to ensure that they made no noise. Daisuke's steps had only slowed to a stop when he'd heard a familiar score of music. He blinked a moment, tilted his head, and quickly frowned at the flickering lights coming from the opened door further down the hallway. Someone was up watching Kill La Kill.

Daisuke had taken several more steps, quietly placing himself in Mayu's doorway before knocking, loud enough to hopefully get her attention without waking any others. "...Cupal. D'you realize what time it is...?"

EAST ASIAN MYTHOLOGY MEME:

[3/8] JAPANESE GODS AND GODDESSES | AMATERASU

Amaterasu [天照], Amaterasu-ōmikami or Ōhirume-no-muchi-no-kami is a part of the Japanese myth cycle and also a major deity of the Shinto religion. She is the goddess of the sun, but also of the universe. 

In Japanese mythology, Amaterasu, the goddess of the sun, is the sister of Susanoo, the god of storms and the sea, and of Tsukuyomi, the god of the moon. It was written that Amaterasu had painted the landscape with her siblings to create ancient Japan. She became the ruler of the sun and the heavens along with her brother, Tsukuyomi, the god of the moon and ruler of the night. Originally, Amaterasu shared the sky with Tsukuyomi, her husband and brother until, out of disgust, he killed the goddess of food, Uke Mochi. This killing upset Amaterasu, causing her to label Tsukuyomi an evil god and to split away from him; separating night from day.

There is also a long-standing rivalry between Amaterasu and her other brother, Susanoo. When he was to leave Heaven by orders of Izanagi, he went to bid his sister goodbye. Amaterasu was suspicious, but when Susanoo proposed a challenge to prove his sincerity, she accepted. Each of them took an object of the other’s and from it birthed gods and goddesses. Amaterasu birthed three women from Susanoo’s sword while he birthed five men from her necklace. Claiming the gods were hers because they were born of her necklace, she decided that she had won the challenge. The two were content for a time, but her brother became restless and went on a rampage, destroying Amaterasu’s rice fields, hurling a flayed pony at her loom, and killing one of her attendants in a fit of rage. Amaterasu, who was in fury and grief, hid inside the Ama-no-Iwato (“heavenly rock cave”), thus effectively hiding the sun for a long period of time. The world, without the illumination of the sun, became dark. The gods could not lure Amaterasu out of her hiding place until the goddess of dawn, Ame-no-Uzume, was able to trick her into reappearance.

EAST ASIAN MYTHOLOGY MEME:

[5/8] JAPANESE GODS AND GODDESSES | AME NO UZUME

Ame no Uzume [天鈿女命] is the goddess of dawn, mirth and revelry in the Shinto religion of Japan. She famously relates to the tale of the missing sun deity, Amaterasu.

Amaterasu’s brother, the storm god Susanoo, had vandalized her rice fields, threw a flayed horse at her loom, and brutally killed one of her maidens due to a quarrel between them. In turn, Amaterasu became furious with him and retreated into the Heavenly Rock Cave, Amano-Iwato. The world, without the illumination of the sun, became dark and the gods could not lure Amaterasu out of her hiding place.

It was then that the clever Uzume overturned a tub near the cave entrance and began a dance on it, tearing off her clothing in front of the other deities. They considered this so comical that they laughed heartily at the sight. Amaterasu heard them, and peered out to see what all the fuss was about. When she opened the cave, she saw her glorious reflection in a mirror which Uzume had placed on a tree, and slowly emerged from her hiding spot. At that moment, the god Ame no Tajikarawo dashed forth and closed the cave behind her, refusing to budge so that she could no longer retreat. Another god tied a magic straw rope across the entrance. Other deities then asked Amaterasu to rejoin the divine. She agreed, and light was restored to the earth.
