Wow its been awhile.

[shinkusame]

“Yeah they’re cute, but you know we can’t bring any of them back with us, right?”

As much as the longing eyes and excited yelps of the City’s animal shelter residents tugged at his heart strings, keeping a pet in such a precarious ambience would be too irresponsible. The thought alone of getting attached to something that could be ripped away from them without a moment’s notice is enough for Rin to persist to veto his sister’s pleading.

“Why don’t you try getting a goldfish or something instead?”

@matsukouka

[matsukouka]

        “But... it’s just as bad leaving them here!” She’s crouched down beside one particular dog who was on the quiet side compared to the others.

        “They don’t get much love and attention here. Also, wouldn’t the shelter be more or a target?” She’s trying her best to argue her case, she really wanted to have a companion. She was just as stubborn as he was when it came to these things.          “Besides, goldfish can’t cuddle you!” She pouts.

      “Hey, you doin’ alright?”            Normally, she wouldn’t be so intrusive, but the girl looks more than just a little out of sorts, and she pulls up her brightest smile, though a moment later it fades into a somewhat puzzled look, a sense of familiarity striking. 

          “Say… we ain’t met before, have we?” 

[matsukouka]

         She’s been getting that a lot lately.

          “Ah... well... Usually when people ask that it’s because I look like my brother..” She trails off, resting a finger on her cheek. She only hoped her brother wasn’t well known for his temper.            “Matsuoka Rin?” She asks with a smile.

You stay in silence. That was probably checkmate – I mean, you could swim, but still. You turn to Gouto for advice; maybe he could help you, somehow. 

“Listen, Raidou – you’re screwed. Just go swim for a while so we can get outta here. I’ll just keep watching, I guess.” He whispered, low enough so the girl couldn’t hear. Well, maybe it was better to just get this over with, then.

“Alright, I will try. Do I have to change clothes?”

[matsukouka]

         “Of course!” Her hands slap together, eyes brightening. “If you walk inside the boys change room you should be able to find all the spare clothes for swimming near the lockers!”

        “If it makes you feel comfortable I can join you too!” Her eyes flicker towards the cat and she always squeals in delight. It was a shame Makoto wasn’t here. He seemed to like cats.

Rin watched curiously as the girl tied her hair up, he was trying to figure out the reason behind such a thing since he was sure most people in Hive City weren’t homeless - at least as far as he knew. Suddenly it seemed to make sense.

“Gamma, huh? That’s gotta suck -” He murmured solemnly, to be stuck in the bad part of Hive must really suck. “Don’t you have anywhere else you could sleep? I doubt the bench is very comfortable.”

[matsukouka]

         “I do have a few friend who would offer me a place to stay.. but..” She rubs the back of her neck. “I mean, I don’t want to be in their way, or be a burden to them.. That’s all..” It wasn’t the entire truth. She didn’t want to go into detail about her insecurities to a total stranger.           “The bench gives me a lot better sleep, and it’s close to the school.” She gives him a smile before continuing. “So do you live here, or are you one of those types of people who like to walk around early in the morning?”

“Sure, I’m in!”

[matsukouka]

“Perfect!” Kou squeals, the woman’s muscles sure were beautiful. “You would be a hard opponent to beat. You have amazing deltoids! Amazing everything!”

[themagehero]

“Kou, you just want an excuse to stare at others. Why don’t we take this plan and let it rest for now?”

Someone had to stop her from doing something embarrassing. Just that calendar from before had been enough.

[matsukouka]

        Slams hands on table. “But muscles need to be praised! All that hard work and no one ever compliments them!” She just wants to stare at them. GOD Daylen, why can’t you ever understand her!

[matsukouka]

“Hive City had a ton of competitions in the past, don’t you think its about time we have a muscle competition! Muscles do need to be appreciated and what better way to notice them than a friendly contest! Who’s with me!!”

[matsukouka]

Thread Update

Helllo! So I’m almost caught up on my threads, I’ve got one left inmy draft box from @gentlexbloom. I believe I’ve got all my replies done. If not then please send me an IM!!

[foureyecrow]

“Do you think so? I’m not really sure I’d be that great of a swimmer.”

Maybe that’s something they could do together in the future if they became friends. That or water volleyball. He doubts that would happen though, since people fluttered in and out of Citta so it’d be likely that she’d leave this ball and they’d never see each other again. He could ask if they could be friends, but that’d be weird to bring up so early in their conversation.

Why was he thinking about this? Was the alcohol kicking in?

“You said that you’re a manager for a swim team… do you actually play any sports?”

[matsukouka]

        Why did everyone always say that. It seemed no one here really believed in themselves... She takes a sip from her wine, finishing the rest of it off and places it down on a tray nearby. Her face felt flushed, maybe this was a reaction from the alcohol?

        “Well you don’t know until you try! Besides, I believe you would be great at it.”  Though, his question does catch her off guard. “Well... I’ve only just started to learn how to swim.” Now her attention was drawn to her fingers, twiddling her thumbs. She felt embarrassed to be a manager of a swim team, yet not know how to do the activity. “Sports was always my weakest subject back in school, but Nagisa, my friend has been showing me the ropes lately.”

♕ - He’d only approached out of curiosity but when the pepper spray had come out he’d taken a few hasty steps backwards. It wasn’t as bad as holy water but it’d still burn like all hell. 

When she slipped the pepper spray back into her pocket he exhaled and took a step forward again. “No, it’s fine, but why exactly were you sleeping on the bench?”

[matsukouka]

        She grabs her hair tie and puts her hair up in its well known high pony tail, brushing back a few strands of hair behind her ear. She felt a bit bad for giving the male a scare, especially when all he wanted to do was check up on her. 

        “They put me in district Gamma, I get much more sleep here compared to there” She says, referring to the scientists. She knew she had friends who had a place and offered her to live with them, but she would feel like a burden if she did accept.

❛Ah?❜ Eyebrows raised to the woman nearby him, Frodo turned his head to see her face for himself. A pleasant show of cheer was visible on her features and in turn he lifted his lips in a petite smile.

❛This one?❜ Not a moment was wasted from the time she pointed to the dish, his eyes following the directions towards it. ❛I hadn’t thought to try it, at least not yet.❜ Although she stepped closer to him in a presumed attempt to socialize better, Frodo felt the need to shuffle to the side and maintain space between them. ❛I’m not sure what ‘omega three’ is but I suppose it must be a good thing.❜ He displayed no other signs of hesitation and merely softened his expression as he turned his face back to hers. ❛My name is Frodo Baggins, by the way.❜ 

[matsukouka]

        The surprise on her face wasn’t hard to miss, surely he had to heard of omega three! She clasps her hands together and sighs, it seems as that she would have to explain it to him. He was probably from a different world, one that isn’t similar to her own. 

        “Matsuoka Kou, it’s nice to meet you Baggins!” She would of shook his hand, but he seemed busy currently. Maybe later... “Omega 3 is a good thing in amounts, it helps the heart and does plenty of other good things!” She eagerly watches his reaction to the dish.

“Eheh~ I guess you are right! I’m glad it’s you, so I feel more calm… way more than if I was going be dancing with someone I don’t know!” He laughed, he really was happy for see her again and that was visible. Everyone from home kept coming and going except for Nagisa, what also could happen at any moment.

So he knew he should cherish and enjoy at the most the time with loved ones. And the fact they could just return out of nowhere too, like the girl in front of him, was also a small ray of hope to the ones who stay. At least that was his way to try and see the situation in an optimistic light.

“So, let’s not waste time, right?” He offered a hand, leading her to the dance floor. “I promise I won’t step on your feet~!”

[matsukouka]

        She’s had her fair share of dances with strangers since the ball starter, she can’t help but pout. She knew Nitori was meek and shy most of the time, yet she can’t help but pout and cross her arms. 

        “Ah, Nitori-kun! Where’s your sense of adventure!” She scolds him in a playful manner, “dancing with strangers isn’t all that bad!” She smiles at him and gives him a playful push before taking his hand shyly.          As they walk towards the dance floor, she can’t help but notice how much taller he got. Once they got to a reasonable spot where they could move freely.  She rests her hand on his shoulder, giggling at his promise. “I’ll try not to step on yours too then!”

[matsukouka]

“This is impure! That’s my brother!”

[madamsharley]

Shyarly cocked her head at the girl, slanting her mouth. “Hm? Is something the matter dear?” She froze her motion towards the lap pool for a moment before deciding that it was just that strange habits of humans to apologize prematurely. Almost as  if she had to be sorry for her very presence. Shyarly smiled sadly at the thought before steeping into the pool. 

As soon as her feet touched the water, she crashed with an inelegant thud onto the pool deck, the support of her legs replaced by a large cartilaginous shark tail that had to be curled in the shallow water. Shyarly pulled off the bath towel around her waist, pushing her hair back over her ears while occasionally glaceing at the girl who was the only other swimmer in the pool. 

“Well don’t worry. I’ll probably be the one apologizing, though I’ll try not to be to disruptive with my lap swimming. It’s been quite some time since I’ve done exercise like this.”

[matsukouka]

        Her eyes widen when Shyarly entered the pool and the initial shock made her jaw drop. She wasn’t expecting that. She quickly looked away, knowing how rude it was to stare at people for long periods of time and tries to occupy herself by doing small laps in the pool.

        “No, it’s fine! I hope you don’t mind me practicing... I’m not a good swimmer! I’m actually learning how to swim.”  Overcoming her fear of water was challenging, but slowly, Kou has been able to conquer that fear          Her eyes flicked back over Shyarly’s tail. “I think... my brother would be a big fan of yours. He takes a liking to sharks!”  

[themagehero]

Daylen couldn’t help but sigh with relief. He was thankful Kou didn’t need to experience all that. It had been tough enough on Rin without his sister being involved too. The teenager might be rough around the edges but he cared a lot about them.

“I think a waltz looks more complicated on the outside. While it takes precision, it’s easy enough getting the hang of it. Just follow your partner and focus.”

Still, the Warden continued to guide her just in case. No one wanted an accident after all. Occasionally he’d repeat the rhythm out loud as an aid.

“Unfortunately, a lot of people were hurt in the crossfire. But we’ll persevere as we always do. Even Rin and Makoto became proactive. So many who wouldn’t have fought before became involved. If you had been there, I’m sure he’d be fighting to protect you too.”

[matsukouka]

        Her eyes widened at the mention of Makoto. Of course, how could she forget. He was residing in the city when she left, but she never thought he would still be here when she got back. Typically, the people she knew didn`t stay too long. It was one heartbreak after another. And yet, her heart raced and ached at the thought of the people she cared about having to go through such a terrible thing. 

        She pushed away the pain and instead, focused on the dance. A ball was meant for fun, and not thinking about such horrible things. “I would do the same as well. He is family after all...” She did care for Rin, she cared for him a lot. Sure he was distant, but she didn;t blame him. Afterall, he was living in another country for so long.          “How about Nagisa?” It had only been a few days since she got back, normally she would be greeted by the ball of energy but Kou was only met with silence this time. “And the rest of them too? Were they alright as well?” She kept her voice low, but it was obvious that she was concerned with the well-being of her friends.
