[backdated to their return from the out of camp vacation]

[maestrobater]

[some people, instead of having a nice relaxing vacation away from camp awoke to the horrors of canon updates and shopping trips that would never end. Chiaki Shinichi is back at his cabin, one hand in his pocket and the other politely knocking on the door, ignore the fact that he lives there...]

Nodame? Are you back?

Comments

[dummysavant]

[oh my creaky bones, hobbling over to the door .__.]

[maestrobater]

[okay since there hasn't been screaming or a leaping tackle he assumes nobody's inside and goes to open the door before she get there]

[dummysavant]

Ah. It's Sempai. Welcome back.

[vague attempt at smile-ish thing before hobbling back towards her kotatsu]

[maestrobater]

Geh!

N-Nodame, how long have you been back? When I talked to you on the phone you sounded...

[maestrobater]

Are you okay?

[dummysavant]

[creeeaaak as she sits down, KOTATSU YOU ARE MY ONLY FRIEND ;o;]

I'm not very hungry, so Chiaki-sempai can eat by yourself today.

[maestrobater]

[...s-she regressed]

What's going on here? Nodame, what happened?

[dummysavant]

Ah, Nodame forgot to congratulate Sempai on his debut, right? Good job with all your hard work.

[maestrobater]

That was--[oh wow I did debut :|a]--it doesn't feel like it really.

What's this about being full? You're never full--what happened at the conservatory?

[dummysavant]

Nothing happened. Nodame couldn't do anything.

[maestrobater]

It was only two days. And there was a lot to consider once we left. I remembered winning the Platini competition but took a while to feel like it was actually me who did it.

[dummysavant]

I didn't even get to take a picture with Puri Gorota's mangaka because of Sempai's competition...

[maestrobater]

It's not my fault they were scheduled on the same day!

[dummysavant]

[.... resume soul-crushed state]

[maestrobater]

[...it is not my fault though D:]

Nodame, whatever it was you can take your time here to study and catch up.

[dummysavant]

It's no good, Nodame can't catch up at all. Everyone at the conservatory is younger, but their intelligence level and knowledge is more. Nodame was even laughed at by a kid in analysis class...
