Persona 5 stuff

[flamingprick]

[It's the middle of May, and spring exams have just finished. Seems like the perfect time for some breathing room, right? Well, there's actually going to be a bit of excitement before the next big event!

See, a new kid just transferred to Shujin academy. A kinda scrawny kid who looks a little short to be in high school, actually. But somehow he is actually a second-year, imagine that! He's not in Akira's class, so they won't cross paths immediately, but Rin's reputation definitely precedes him. Before his first day of school is even over, there's already whispers of 'the violent new kid' and 'what he did to those kids at True Cross Academy'. There's no concrete details, what with it all being rumors and all, but rumors are enough to make everyone wary of this new kid.

The question is, will Akira be wary of him too?

At the end of the day Rin can be found walking home by himself. Despite all of the rumors about how violent and dangerous he is, he actually seems to be in a good mood. Either he hasn't noticed how people talk about him yet, or he doesn't care. But still, that would be a good time to approach him to find out if the rumors are true or not.]

[immediately, without flinching or showing the slightest bit of wariness, even after Rin confirms that parts of it are true]

That doesn't mean the entire school needs to fling your business around like it's a volleyball.

[JUST SAYING. he was being facetious when he said "congrats," anyway]

Akira, by the way. Akira Kurusu.

[flamingprick]

It's kinda hard to have privacy in school. Especially high school.

[There's a reason he wanted to quit and go right into the work force after middle school, after all. It took a lot of convincing to get him to go to high school at all. And look how well that worked out for him too.]

Rin Okumura. Just 'Rin' is fine, by the way.

[That last part is said out of habit, because. Well. Being a twin means that sometimes you have to specify which twin is being addressed.

Ah. But he doesn't go to the same school as Yukio anymore, does he?

For a moment Rin's smile falters, but then he brings it right back up.]

Well, if you weren't scared off already, then I guess we can be acquaintances. I won't blame you if you take off running though.

[purrtagonist]

Just "Rin," and just "Akira." Works for me.

[he prefers to avoid all the formalities of last names and honorifics, anyway. the only reason he uses them is because other people prefer them, and he's trying to maintain a polite demeanor when around people he can't get a good read on]

Haven't seen a reason to take off running yet. [he continues with light amusement] Actually. . . it's usually the opposite.

[with people running from him. idly, he wonders if Rin had heard the rumors of that violent, drug-dealing, knife-wielding second year transfer student, or if all of them had died once Rin himself became the center of Shujin's grape vine]

[flamingprick]

[First name basis with a friend~

And really, Rin has heard rumors about Akira too. But Rin knows rumors aren't entirely true, so he's expecting the drug-dealing and knife-wielding to be something like 'gave a kid a tylenol while holding a butter knife'.]

So I heard. You're not exactly popular here either, are you? Imagine the rumors once people see the two of us talking together.

[Two delinquents, teaming up for no good? They'll be the talk of the town.

Not that Rin will actually do anything bad, he's not about that. He's just got a nasty temper, that's all.]
