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.

Comments

[It's that 100% serious bit that urges Akira not to break and ask this man whether he's hit his head particularly hard recently or if he really do be thinking he's the Moriarty (one of three, collect the whole gang). Frankly, it's a tossup.

As an aside? Show him that dramatic bow some time and Akira'll be furiously taking notes. Should he ever have need of "Joker" again, he'd like to work that little move into his dramatic repertoire.

Anyway, since he's playing along... Akira points a thumb at the Sherlock books on the shelf.]

Where's the book where Sherlock and Moriarty get hitched and adopt ten cats?

[is it in the............... fanfiction.net section.....]

[mathodical]

I don't think Dr. Watson got to chronicling that part yet.

[ a grin. ]

Also ten cats sounds a little bit excessive. Aren't dogs more in fashion?

[ ... yeah he's a dog person. whoops. ]

[jokey]

[Eww, a dog person. Minus ten points, but Akira hasn't lost interest yet.]

And here I thought we had something.

[Seriously, a dog person............ Do not pass go, do not advance Social Link.]

So seriously, who are you? A historian? A theater major?

[A McFuckin' Weirdo with extra cheese, perhaps, but he's kinda cool? So his LARPing ways can be given a pass, if only for the moment.]
