i. CHATTY CATTIES

[The resident cats seem familiar, their toe beans pleasantly plump beneath his thumb and their fur silky soft... but something is off. Something doesn't feel quite right, and it's neither their beans nor their silky soft fur, so what could it be?

Stooped in the hallway, Akira turns to the black cat and shakes his head.]

I could've sworn you had a name. [Akira taps his chin, brows scrunched up in thought.] ...Miyuki? No. Morris?

[Akira's been here trying fruitlessly to converse with the cats for the better part of an hour. Crazy? Possibly.]

ii. STEAL BOOK, GET NAILED

[Incidentally, if you're studying hard (or hardly studying) in the library, you'll bump into Akira sooner rather than later. He's quiet, if not exactly shy, and strides up to eye the book in the other student's hands.]

That's a new one. Let me guess, another novel no one's heard of?

[The sharp-eyed might notice that all the fingertips on Akira's right hand have been thickly wrapped in bloodied bandaids. Curious!]

iii. STORE LOSER

[Should someone be headed towards the student store late in the evening, they might coincidentally find Akira giving the vending machine a nice, solid kick. He looks he might fire off a second when he feels the gaze of another student all but boring into him.

Turning, Akira brushes his blazer into place a little too casually. This is exactly what it looks like, and so Akira doesn't bother trying to save face.]

Sorry. The vending machine ate my homework. [Stepping aside, Akira flippantly motions to the machine.] All yours.

Nice to mii-te you, Rika.

[Who needs honorifics? Not Akira and not this girl, but oh, hold on a sec. Furude? That's...]

Wait. I think we might be roommates.

[and they were roommates, But with this, he has to give her a fair warning.]

My... [.............] ...friend is also rooming with us. He's a little sour, [TO PUT IT LIGHTLY,] but don't mind him. He's just set in his ways like an old man.

[miirai]

Mii~! It's okay, I've dealt with people who act like old men in the past. If he gets really cranky like one though, I'll just have to nipaaaah~ at him.

i look up nipah to jog my memory and google tells me it's a virus

[jokey]

Unfortunately, he's more of the "get off my lawn" type than a cute little jii-chan.

[........No, hold on, forget cute little jii-sans. What was that sound she made?]

Nipaaaaah~?

[Akira's impression of it is entirely lacking in inflection, but he... tried...? Explain this nipah to him, roomie.]

it just basically means 'brilliant smile' in onomatopoeia

[miirai]

Nipah~☆

[Sorry, she's not going to explain, just beam and repeat it again.]

[jokey]

[Oh, he thinks he gets it (no he doesn't). Here's take two!]

Nipah~🖤

[Y/N??? what the fuck are they doing]

[miirai]

Clap, clap, clap. That was a very good one, sir.
