1|| Bringing Unsexy Back

[ready_set_fire]

[This is a very annoyed-looking young man wandering down the corridors, grumbling about 'make-up classes' and 'stupid temporal-screw-ups'. You might recognise him from a couple of months back, but to Ace, it feels like he was only gone for a day. Which is why it really sucks to get yanked back to find that so long has passed, he has to re-start

[And not to make the marine happier, he now has a blue firebird pirate tackle him and latch around him.]

Wait. You're not my Ace. [SIGHS and doesn't get off anyway.] Where the hell have you been, eh? [Pokes to make sure he's solid.]

[PUNCH TO THE FACE TECHNIQUE, GO!!]

[shops_a_lot]

Are you all right? [Bulla tilts her head. She didn't know Ace well at all, but she does recognize him from before nonetheless]

[ready_set_fire]

Wha- oh, hey.

[a sheepish grin, trying to cover up his annoyance at the laws of physics]

Yeah, sorry. Just... not exactly happy to be back. Especially so long after I left.

[shops_a_lot]

I loaned Espio my notes. I don't mind loaning them to you, too.

[She does her best to be nice as long as someone hasn't seriously annoyed her, after all]

I mean, it's probably not going to help for every subject, but it's a start, right?

[ready_set_fire]

Ah, really? Thanks, Bulla. It'll save my re-reading through the whole textbooks, in any case.

Yeah, I don't know how many classes we have in common, but it's a help. And hey, it's nice just to have the offer. There's only a week to catch up on anyway.

[he grins, obviously a little more cheerful now]

Anything interesting happen while I was gone?

[redcinemareel]

[POPS UP OUTTA NOWHERE]

Hello~. [Grins.] Need some guidance?

[ready_set_fire]

[JUMPS, WTF

but hey, it's just some chick. A kind of creepy-looking chick, but sort of hot, too. Have a grin :|]

Ah, no thanks. I've been here before, so I know where I'm headed.

[was she around when Ace was here last? huh. oh well.]

[redcinemareel]

That's too bad. I could have given you a proper tour. [Fiddles with that necklace. It was red, okay?]

You do look like a new face though.

[ready_set_fire]

['proper' tour? what does that even mean? somehow it straddles the line between a come-on and creepiness]

Ah, I kind of left for a while. Apparently I'm back again, so... [shrugs, looking a little annoyed now, reminded of how time and space sucks]

You must be fairly new, right?

edit!

[eggplantallergy]

[Gakupo walks through the corridors as well, thinking it would be a good idea to get some fresh air. Hums a soft tune before nodding to Ace, continuing on his way.

--to Ace?!

Backtracks and stares pointedly at his former roommate like he was a ghost.]

...goodness...Ace?

[ready_set_fire]

[ohthankallthat'sholy, a sane guy. after meeting up with Marco-bastard, Ace needs some sanity :|]

Kammy! [yes, he feels like suddenly springing a nickname on him just to be annoying. hush] You would not believe the day I'm having.

I fail so much

[eggplantallergy]

...Kammy? [Raises an eyebrow at that. Never had a decent nickname before, so he might as well take all he can get.]

Your day? Just a day? [Tilts his head to the side.] You've been gone a while...

I'm sure I'll fail more, soon enough :|

[ready_set_fire]

[he loves it really :Dd]

Yeah, so I heard. I only spent like, twenty hours back home, then bam. Back here again, and told I'm a week into a whole new term. Not fun.

[derped]

[Rion doesn't recognize Ace, really, at all - but this will not stop him from giving a quiet, confused look over towards him. Temporal screw-ups? What the hey? Is he new here?

... maybe he should help. But h-- hnnngh. Rion just sort of stands there, wracked by indecision.]

[ready_set_fire]

[okay, there's some guy just. standing there. looking weird. 8| Ace pauses and stares at him, because what the hell?]

... Are you... okay?

[hopefully it's not something Doctor Kadowaki needs to sort out]

[derped]

[Oh. Now he's the one being weird here. Okay better go rectify that (hopefully); he'll wander over and start ... writing something down on a whiteboard.]

Are you new here? You look kind of familiar... sort of. [Probably a case of 'I've seen you around at some point but never really paid attention'.]

[ready_set_fire]

[writing? mute, maybe - or someone who prefers not to use the translators. at least the kid isn't acting weird any more]

Just got back after some time away. We've probably seen each other around before. [grins, trying to think, and yeah - he vaguely remembers seeing this guy in the hallways and maybe a couple of classes] Ace D. Monkey. You?
