April 23- .... (Monday, First day of School!- ...)

Everyone

As Chiyo, Maeda, Suzume, and Aoi make their way into the classrooms, pickings are already slim for desks, only five of them being unoccupied, four in the center bordered by a girl in cat ears and a girl scribbling away in some sort of journal like a madwoman respectively, and the last one in the back being guarded by some dangerous looking thugs. The homeroom teacher, a middle-aged pudgy woman with shoulder length salt-and pepper hair reading what appears to be a comically over-sized book seems to only dimly acknowledge the foursome as they roll in, and seems to be trying her best to ignore the delinquent who comes in seconds after the bell for the first class period to start.

As everyone takes their seats, the teacher quickly stashes her book and rises to neatly write her name "Professor Otterman" across the whiteboard.

"Good morning, class" she begins with slightly stilted japanese in an atrocious American accent. "My name is Miss Otterman, and I will be your homeroom and English Composition teacher this year. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you, and I'm sure as long as we don't have too many wacky hijinks, we'll all get along just fine. Now why don't we start with a little getting to know each other game? Now, I teach english, so why don't we romanize our first names, introduce yourself to the class, the tell us the first letter of your name, and then one word in english that describes you. Now, I took the liberty of providing each of you with a Japanese to English thesaurus for anyone who may not have the best English vocabulary, or just wants to expand what they already have. I'll start first: my first name is Laura, and my word is "lost" because I just moved here a few weeks ago, and I'm still learning the lay of the land. So, who wants to go next?"

Kin's seat in the middle of room certainly helped him avoid the teacher's eye. He was glad that several others went before him since he wasn't sure what to describe himself as. At least they gave him an idea what to expect. Though that girl, Suzume, might have missed the point. It does draw a small smile though.


Soseki's smirk as he heads up makes Kin a bit nervous. The boy hadn't exactly been well behaved since...the incident. He can only watch in horror as the other boy sends the little exercise up in flames. He gives an audible sigh. So much for a nice normal first day of high school...

Everyone

As the brand new thesaurus went up in flames, all eyes were upon Soseki.  Save for one whooping delinquent at Sako's left hand, shock and anger washed over most of the class, but Mrs. Otterman's visage was something entirely different. The 45-year-old woman looked calm, and didn't seem to even blink at the blatant destruction of a resource she'd paid for out of pocket.

"Young man, please report to the Principal's office, you'll find it in the building's lobby, on the right hand side heading towa-"

Before the instructor could finish her sentence, the smoke from the lit novel reached the smoke detector at the top of the ceiling, setting off the sprinklers which proceeded to shower everybody. Hideki, at the front of the class with slicked back hair and a sharply pointed nose, muttered something under his breath,The kid in the wheelchair in the front left corner sighed and shook his head. The athletic mn sitting in the second row on the far right end tensed up, and almost moved to get up, but seemed to think better of it for one reason or another And Mrs. Otterman slowly, deliberately walked over to her desk and laid her head against it. She didn't even seem to care as her shirt got drenched.

Taking all of this in, the third delinquent Handa turned to her counterpart and said "You might've gone a bit over-board"

Chiyo sighs and stands, grabbing her things and the thesaurus walking over to the teacher and crouching beside her, speaking in English "Sensei... Are you alright?" That would be all she can muster though all things considered, she expected the first day to be ruined somehow after having almost perfect sleep the night before, but she tries to lighten up her teacher's mood at least slightly.

2d6+1

With the troublemaker out of the way, Kin pulls out the thesaurus and tries to pick something out.Stupid Soseki. Ruining everything. Then his eye catches the perfect word. And since no one has stepped up since Varuna, sets out on his explanation. "My name is Kin, which begins with a 'K'. My word is 'ken'... I understand that this is important." He almost takes on a lyrical tone but can't quite get it to finish just right. He quickly sits back down. Looking at several other words.

Chiyo blinks and goes back to her seat, rather soaked she once again hides behind the thesaurus, hoping to not be called out for not answering at all as each person gives their answer. She looks over at Aoi and wonders whats going through his head right now.

Everyone Else

After the first few got the ball rolling, the class started coming out of the woodwork to introduce themselves, however the three of you seem to have more and more trouble staying focused. the tinnitus-esque buzzing slowly intensifies until you can't actually hear it, but you can sense its presence like a frequency only animals can hear. Migraines sprout up concurrently.

Soseki

The wait for the principal's office is surprisingly short. A balding man in a cheap pseudo-suede suit and a pair of glasses with a frame clearly too small for his face sits across from you, rubbing his temples in abject frustration.
"Mister...Soseki, was it? Your records are very extensive. In my years as an educator, I've never seen such a delinquent- is what I'm betting you thought I'd say. Well kid, you're nothing special. I've seen worse, and I've made respectable men out of them, so you can bzzzzzzzzz-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

The principal's machismo-laden lecture faded away back to the intensified buzzing, and the authoritarian across from you doesn't seem to notice your face contorting in migraine-racked agony
