[ he picks down two bottles of alcohol, checking the seal to ensure that they haven't been opened. they're perfect from what his eyes can see, the clear plastic wrapped tightly around it, and a pull here tab at the top so he can pull down the jagged shape when he chooses to use it.
upon amami's inspection of reactions, midori cooly responds like any normal person would since he's not too bothered by it. he's looking at the back of the other alcohol bottle, then sitting it down on the table in front of him. ]
Do you see a box of bandages by the corner over there, can you bring them over?
[ after his request, he turns around to watch amami with a smile, and a shake of his head. he's heard it all before coming from shin, knowing he's sent our warnings to almost everyone upon his arrival. does it make things difficult? no, he tends to manage well unlike the participants who make things hard for themselves from how amami recalls it. ]
Ahaha. Yes... Him and his friends refer to me as "Midori", that way it'll be easier to not get us confused. [ a name gifted to him by sara, and it's their comfort to call him by it in order to separate good from evil, or better from worse, though... if asked the nurse himself, he finds shin is doing a poor imitation. ]
Punching and then introducing himself with my name... makes me look like I have quite the temper, hm?
[ he sighs, body leaned against the counter. ]
About me and Ranger, was it? Let me guess...
[ he hums, thinking it over as he allows amami the first bit of information to digest. ]
( it's a welcome distraction when hiyori points out the bandages. he'll peer over to see if he can find them at a glance, and once he has, trot over to scoop them up and bring them back around to where hiyori is preparing... something. amami's not too concerned with the details right now. comparatively, storytime is much more interesting. )
Well, there's no reason why we shouldn't just call you by your actual name, is there?
( and so there's no reason why shin should be using it like he's not around anymore either. because that's what's getting him. like, they meet a guy, replace his name with the colour of his hair, and then just taking it like he owns it is... yeah, no, there's no real way around it: that's weird as hell. just straight out bizarre behaviour. does he have compulsive identity theft? he clearly has his own name and identity to use around here, so the fact that he's so set on not using it is...
anyway, there's no real reason to actually humour a request like that. )
I guess you have an idea for that too then, huh.
( but does he have an explanation? 'cause that's what amami's looking for. )
[ if there was a reason then he would say so, but at the end of the day, he's no longer in japan where the majority game is being placed. he could, if he wanted, say that he felt shin was more attuned to being "sou hiyori" than the original sou hiyori ever was, but he's been trying to make things difficult for his namesake. there's no reason to show an ounce of kindness when it isn't being returned, and that's just life.
as much as he's tried to be kind with them... boo... ]
Everyone else refers to me properly, but you'll find the bunch that uses that name against me... I'm sorry you had to find out this way, I feel as if I've caused you trouble.
[ identity theft was an identity crises on shin's behalf, though he can handle that himself if he's so attached. ]
I do! He's not really creative — [ as amami can tell from the name thing. there's no way for him to hit the nail on the head to get it right, but he has to be close enough to ruin shin's image... how should he say this? ] so he repeats mannerisms... he must have told me and Ranger to... go kill ourselves.
[ hinting that shin told someone that before? yeah, he is.
he'll take the bandages out the box, about two, setting them next to the alcohol. ]
( he doesn't look all too happy about the guess that's made either though, as it's not something that he can say sounds all that out of line based on first impressions alone. does he seem like a bad guy? maybe not. does he seem emotionally stable enough to keep his cool if he were faced with people he doesn't have a good relationship with? well...
amami shakes his head, plasters an easy smile over his features. )
No point in worrying about it then. Gotta say, though, kinda weird for them to try and re-name you so he can use your name.
( and by "kinda", what he means to say is "extremely", but that's not really the point of the matter. no point in worrying, no point in worrying; he'd rather run the topic by ranger before flipping over to hiyori's thoughts. see what kinds of pictures the two of them paint individually, even as he notes down hiyori's response to the accusation; if he's playing it off, he must be rather good at it.
for now... hm... amami shrugs. )
If he's the one who's so against using his own, maybe he should be the one taking up that one.
[ he asks, not sure whether to be disappointed or pleased that it's not the case— if he wanted to choose an extreme answer, they normally fall in line with his previous actions mixed with shin's idea of abuse done against him, but that was midori's love training him for the future. it's a shame that he had never understood, and allowed others to warp his perception of a beautiful reality; had he stayed with midori, then his world wouldn't fall apart at the seams. ]
Maybe it's his personality that makes him more Sou Hiyori? But, I don't see myself throwing any punches at unsuspecting individuals...
[ rocket punch was different! he'd make sure to tell people when he's about to use his special move, and he even got away with that one!
midori chuckles softly, short though as he knows the meaning behind it happens to be "sunny weather," and he might as well continue. ]
If you meet Miss Helena, there's no ill will when she calls me Dr. Sunny, you see. I don't believe Sh— [ tickled by amami's suggestion still, he takes a dip into trying by correcting himself. ] "Midori" has told her what my name means, but her heart may change when she learns...
[ so he's familiar with what happens with shin as he spreads what rumors are interesting to him, and what truth is painted in his dull colors though he's never seen midori act uncouth before in his life. it's such an upsetting position to be in, but midori handles it without a problem because he acts normal compared to a bunch of dumb children.
he walks over to grab a first aid kit, popping it open to show its empty, but he's filling it with what he's picked out so far. ]
Ahaha, what a suggestion, you sure have amazing ideas! That one may get me through the day with a smile on my face, Rantarou.
( shin's name, he means; it's an absent observation, and actually, he looks a little amused as he says it. can't be helped. after all, considering the circumstances? it kind of is a bit funny to reverse uno that rename on him instead. )
I dunno, seems to suit you perfectly fine. You've got what they'd call a "sunny disposition," right?
( all smiles and warmth. at the very least, he's a lot more pleasant and reassuring to be around than someone like shin — there's a lack of twisted arms and awkward half-baked attempts at cutting a deal that benefits only him. amami will make his way over to where the first aid kit is finally being pulled together, leaning on the nearest surface with a vaguely interested look as he takes in what supplies he's being provided with here. the short huff of an exhale he gives though, it doesn't sound too impressed with the rest of what's said here. )
But anyway, hopefully it won't. Changing your opinion based on some hearsay after you've gotten to know someone... I can't say it strikes me as the best thing to do.
( he doesn't know just how stupid the gang can be, so he's going to give them a generous benefit of the doubt. bad situations are all the more reason to want to play smart; remain on guard, sure, but writing off someone who's already been and can continue to be useful you over nothing but some gossip you can't prove? not exactly what amami would go with if it were him in that kind of situation. )
Of course! He's a teacher, so it's on the faculty listing as well as what class he attends as a student.
[ they can be so many things, he knows, it's actually quite confusing having the power to do that. either way, his name has showed up so everyone should be familiar with it, it's just those who wish to remain oblivious turn a blind eye to the truth— or well, bend to his desire and call him the name he's grown attached to. this is the first time he's found someone who wants to turn it around, and all midori can think is that maybe shin is becoming sou, to the point that he can be dubbed "midori" as well.
how fascinating! ]
Ahaha. Do I? You flatter me, then I should keep it up as long as I can, unless he takes it over...
[ he as in shin taking it over since he's already portrayed himself as someone who's attuned to the life that sou hiyori leads. ]
He's using his time here as an advantage, you must not know, but I woke up late... I came here in February, so it's given him enough time to do what he wants. It doesn't hurt my feelings...
[ midori pouts a little as he tries not to face amami, but his expression is solemn at the thought of how much he's been spoken about in a negative light. truth be told, it doesn't bother him none, but he manages to cheer himself back up as he plucks a few gloves, eyewash, trauma shears, antiseptic cream, and burn treatment. he feels like amami may be able to appreciate that last item more than anyone here. ]
...Voilà! What do you think? [ with everything inside of the first-aid kit, he pushes it to the side of the desk so that amami can look inside. well? it's pretty decent because of the trauma shears, but that's a little added bonus on midori's part. ]
( well, when he points it out like that, it sure does sound like it hurts his feelings, doesn't it? actually, it's almost an endearing sort of thing — would be, if it weren't coming from a grown man who's taller than even amami, anyway. it's enough to garner some sympathy though. )
In that case, guess I'm glad I came in pretty late too then.
( the implication is clear there: he prefers having given hiyori a chance to the alternative of taking shin's word at face value. it's less to be dismissive of the risk, but more that he'd rather start with a blank slate — something he can measure comparatively in a he-said, she-said type of situation. he doesn't like to think himself naive, but it would be troubling if he were to miss something in his risk assessment just because of a simple bias like that. either way though, he'll lean push himself up to sit on the desk, picking up the first aid kit so that he can flip through it in his lap. he can't seem to find anything missing at a glance, and flashes a warm smile in hiyori's direction. )
Looks good. If I think of anything else we might need, you don't mind if I stop by again, right?
Ahaha. Then we're late together! I have someone to share that with.
[ everyone who has came into contact with shin attempts to back him against the wall, listening to the participant on his struggles of the past, and even garnering pity from those who will hear him out. it's not how midori would have done it, but if it works then it works.
then there's these surprising occasions where it backfires, and it makes midori glad how he's treated these unfavorable events. if shin can ruin the growth he's had with another person by not treating them like a person, then midori, who can treat a person like one, will take that relationship off shin's hands. ]
I'm glad you like it. [ it's a pretty up'to'snuff kit for him to use, or for anyone else. he should offer activated charcoal for poison, but it's like amami said, if there's anything else then... ]
Yes, if your classmates need anything the just come and visit! It gets pretty lonely... I wouldn't wish ailments on anyone, but it's easy to forget a nurse would like a companion to converse with...
Well, if you don't mind the company, I'm sure a conversation would be pretty helpful too. Since I'm trying to catch up on everything since I left, y'know.
( he's got "his" notes, sure, and ranger's too, but this is probably the kind of situation where it's best to gather recollections from different people, just to ensure that he can get the most accurate account. he doesn't expect hiyori's to conflict with ranger's, but it's in the details — and if others' coincide well with hiyori's, then that's a mark of trust in his favour in the end.
also, he just doesn't really care about something like going to class in a situation like this. )
[ it's at those words that gains an idea, but he's abusing them as weakness that comes to mind. due to him being a medical practitioner that deals with the dilemma that the other seems to be having, his mouth closes as he looks over to amami. ]
Hm, maybe there's something I can interest you in. You don't have to follow up on it, but perhaps...
[ making his way over to the desk in the back, he shifts through a few papers until he pulls out a slip of paper. written on it is a few unknown words, but the explanation will be found by their side. recovered-memory therapy (RMT) and cognitive stimulation therapy (CST), upon other memory exercises. ]
