[OPEN] Meeting strangers you might have met before.

[gotchakun]

Classes at Duel Academia started back up pretty normally after the whole Dark World incident. Everyone seemed to slip back into the usual routine, except for Juudai. Not only was the kid rarely anywhere to be found, when he was in his room the door was always locked and he didn't come out much. Even in classes where he would normally be sleeping

Incidentally, Johan had been headed to see Juudai, as well. There were various reasons for wanting to see him again, but the foremost of which was because they simply hadn't spoken since (most) everyone had returned from the other dimension, and Juudai had returned a week later, wasting no time in sealing himself up in his room for another few days after that.

He'd been hard to track down lately, even for his close friends. It was never this difficult to find Juudai in the past; when he wasn't in his room or somewhere nearby the Red dorm or cafeteria, it was usually easy to follow his trail to one of any handful of spots he liked to hang out in. Johan had been checking every so often around the Red dorm, even asking around for leads, but turned up empty each time

Yubel kept to Juudai's side, her arms wrapped around his arms, her attention focused upon Juudai and Juudai only. It's only when Juudai direct her line of sight to someone else (some people she assumes) does she take notice of the growing number in occupancy of the room. Faces. She knows these faces. She feels it at the bottom of her soul and the twitching at the sides of her face.

Juudai's friends.

She tries to smile. Shouldn't be so hard. But just in case, she tightens her arms on Juudai, and slowly...panfully...starts to lift the corners of her mouth. Ow. She needs to practice smiling later on. The muscles in her cheeks are straining from lack of repetitive use--or perhaps it's just this human body causing her more grievances.

"Hello."

She continues to smile, hoping to present a good impression (for Juudai's sake she does this. If he were not with her, she wouldn't give a damn which way these friends of Juudai's and their so-called thoughts swung). "Yes, my name is Yubel. It is nice to meet you

Juudai moves a bit closer to allow the tighter hold on his arm without it actually hurting him too much. Bel had said she wasn't used to this human body she was currently walking around in, his obvious anxiety about the situation grew when he saw Johan as one of the first to greet them
