Kefla:hey dude
Aj:what
Kefla:hypotheticals
Aj:okay whatcha got
Kefla:out of all your friends who are you okay with being drunk
Aj:um either you or my sister
Kefla:I somewhat expected me but your sister
Aj:because it's impossible for her to get drunk and if she did I doubt she'd do much
Kefla:you really gotta introduce me to your family man
Aj:I don't think I want to do that
Kefla:come on it could be really fun
Aj:yeah it would be fun for you
22:can I join
Aj:yeah why not just bring everyone I know to my old place
Kefla:so we're doing it
Aj:hell no! So you can all be told of my embarrassments I don't think so
Kefla:oh don't be like that
Aj:if anything I'd just bring you two I'm sure they don't need to know all my friends anyway
Kefla:well I'm sure they'd be happy to know you have a whole gang here
Aj:a gang? Oh that's right
Kefla:what
Aj:I'm gonna go beat up Hanami's squad
Kefla:Aj don't do that you'll get jumped
Aj:I know how to fight they don't and besides it'll take a lot to put me on the ground
Kefla:are you really gonna do it
Aj:yep I'm gonna record it too
Kefla:Aj I'm not gonna watch a recording of you getting jumped you could die
Aj:hey maybe I'll finally be able to experience death who knows
Kefla:don't say that you'll make me feel bad
Aj:that sounds nice hearing genuine emotion from another human being *walks out*
Kefla:and he says it like he's some different breed
22:well he is different than most he's shy and reserved yet outgoing and strong
Kefla:I guess you're right about that I mean he's either silent or just being cocky and rude
Aj:*walking with his hands in his pockets*
Akane:where are you going
Aj:none of your business
Akane:oh it's all of my business sweetie
Aj:what makes you think I'll tell you
Akane:I can get you to tell me
Aj:no matter what you do I'm not going to tell you
Akane:come on for old times
Aj:yeah I'll see you later *runs out the door*
Akane:hey!
Aj:*puts his hands in his pockets* now then what method should I use maybe the good one deck method
Hanami:*sitting on a dumpster* for a delinquent group this is boring I shouldn't have had you guys come out here
Yuki:it's fine boss we don't mind
Tetsuo:yeah we're sure you can come up with something

Hanami:neither have you so want a smoke
Aj:no I don't do that trash
Hanami:your loss
Aj:how about I create some fun for you
Hanami:okay sure
Aj:two of your strongest guys against me how does it sound
Hanami:that's a pretty tempting offer so I'll take it however there's one condition
Aj:go ahead and shoot
Hanami:could you dodge a bullet
Aj:maybe so
Hanami:then you can dodge a fast punch or someone trying to stab you
Aj:that's a push but I'm no coward or else I wouldn't be here
Hanami:we gotta go out for drinks man
Aj:why don't we do that later
Hanami:I guess my little runt is finally growing

Aj:I told you not to call me that didn't I
22:but it's fitting
Aj:yeah I'm called a lot of things
Kefla:did you get stabbed
Aj:no they weren't very innovative but this one guy was crazy strong
Kefla:sounds awesome
Aj:I think I might have some internal bleeding though
Kefla:then we should get you to the nurses office
Aj:it's fine I'm feeling stellar *falls over passed out*
Kefla:*grabs him and picks him up* says the guy passing out
22:is he okay
Kefla:he'll be fine he's a tough kid so you coming I could use the company
22:sure
Both:*walk out*
*in the nurses office*
Aj:*slowly opens his eyes*
Hana:you're really stupid you know that
Aj:oh it's you
Hana:that's the kind of response I get when I come to see you
Aj:I mean oh Hana it's you
Hana:I guess that's okay
Aj:where are the others
Hana:they went out a while ago they'll be back
Aj:I expected to see Akane standing over me when I woke up so this is a relief
Hua:*walks in* you're awake now
Aj:you're the last person I'd expect to see here
Hua:well when I heard your suffering wasn't caused by my hands it pissed me off
Aj:sounds like you Chinese
Hua:did you win at least
Aj:of course I did you expect me to lose
Hua:if you're not fighting me then you don't lose to anyone
Aj:that's an annoying rule
Hua:stick by it or I'll kill you
Aj:you shouldn't be saying that in front of her that's suicide
Hua:what do you mean
Akane:*standing behind her*
Aj:I expected you to be the first one here
Akane:if you think of doing such things I'll just have to kill you before you could try
Hua:(this pressure is insane just who is this)
Akane:*walks past her and hugs him* sweetie you're okay
Aj:of course I am did you think I was dying or something
Akane:I mean you took some damage
Aj:like I said I just took a couple shots like a man
Akane:who did you fight
Aj:the friend you told me about he was one tough guy
Akane:of course he is he's buff
Aj:it was even though despite the weight difference I still hit hard *sits up* that's definitely gonna leave a mark
Hua:I'll see you later then and don't lose I could care less if your girlfriend kills me as long as your death comes first *walks out*
Akane:well that's good she knows my place in your life
Aj:*tosses a pillow at her* please shut up
Both:*walk in*
22:he's awake
Kefla:you should've seen how worried she was but it's all good now
Aj:what took you so long
Kefla:you know this one wanted to get some ice cream and I can't help myself with sweets either
22:I'm glad to see you're okay
Aj:*gets up and stretches* still hurts a little but there's nothing some pain killers won't fix
Kefla:so you wanna get some drinks
Aj:I'm 20
Kefla:nothing wrong with you drinking now I don't see the problem the government is just being an ass
Aj:that's something we both agree on but I'm sorry I'll have to decline your offer
Kefla:I get it you're not one to drink
Aj:no I'm going out for drinks later
Kefla:with who
Aj:my cousin
Kefla:Mook Young doesn't seem like much of a drinker though
Aj:no I mean my other cousin the delinquent queen
Kefla:oh her
Aj:yeah she offered me a smoke but I'm saving that for something else
Kefla:maybe for me
Aj:who knows
Akane:*kisses him on the cheek* I'll see you later *walks out*
Aj:okay let's go you two
22:alright
Kefla:if you can go for drinks with her then I'm dragging you to a party
Aj:just try it
Kefla:I'm sure you'll be a lot of fun
Aj:I doubt it
Hana:I'll see you at study group then
Aj:yeah I'll see you then
Hana:I'll make you do Spanish if you show up late
Aj:relax I'll be on time I'm rarely ever late
Hana:but if you show up too early I'll make you do Spanish
Aj:that's not fair
Hana:life never was
Aj:let me ask you something
Hana:go ahead
Aj:if you're slowly turning and change and they decide to put you up to the dangerous tasks because you're least likely to die what will you do
Hana:I'll tell them to go take care of that shit themselves
Aj:wrong even if someone interjects I'd rather be used than have no value at all
Hana:you're weird *walks out* but I like that about you
Kefla:you gotta pick someone dude this is becoming like a visual novel
Aj:I don't even want to think about it like that if the option of being lonely stands I'm picking that
22:but you don't deserve that you deserve all the love the world has to offer
Aj:that's what you think we both vary on those points *walks out*
22:why is it so hard to get through to him
Kefla:don't worry he just has to open up a little more *walks out*
22:*walks next to her*
Aj:I think that's what I'll have him say when someone interjects
Kefla:if someone asks how to be like you what would say
Aj:give into your desires and you'll see some results
Kefla:yeah so they can be as antisocial as you
Aj:shut up why'd you ask anyway
Kefla:I don't know I'm just bored
Aj:aren't we all
Kefla:not like me
Aj:you wanna go and do something then
Kefla.hell yeah I'm game
Aj:great I'll be right back okay
Kefla:where are you going
Aj:to tell someone something *runs off*
Kefla:okay
Hua:*walking*
Aj:*running* Chinese!
Hua:(and now we start) *back kicks*
Aj:*dodges and reaches from under her leg and puts his hand in her face with a peace sign*
Hua:*stumbles*
Aj:*puts his other arm behind her* relax I won't let you fall
Hua:what are you doing
Aj:Happy Chinese New Years
Hua:huh
Aj:that's today isn't it
Hua:yeah
Aj:aren't you gonna tell me thank you
Hua:why should I
Aj:I came all the way here to say it so the least I deserve is a thanks
Hua:no
Aj:I won't let go unless you say it
Hua:you're annoying
Aj:I get that a lot
Hua:I'm not surprised
Aj:I knew you weren't quiet you were just out of place isn't that right
Hua:*looks away*
Aj:it's okay I've lost a lot to understand your pain
Hua:*steps on his foot*
Aj:as for the other day our fight will be coming soon just give me time
Hua:why can't we just do it now
Aj:*smiles* because I want us both to be at our best and this really hurts so can you take your foot off mine please
Hua:*steps off his foot* hmph
Aj:*lets go* thanks friend I'll make sure to learn some Chinese so we can have real conversation
Hua:I don't care what you do as long as you can communicate that's what matters
Aj:you just gave me another good quote to use thanks
Hua:whatever Japanese *walks off*
Aj:see ya *walks off*
*in the dorm*
Aj:*walks in*
Kefla:what did you do
Aj:I was just giving my gratitude to a fellow colleague
Kefla:so where are we going
Aj:you said you like drinking right
Kefla:wait seriously
Aj:yeah I don't think I'd survive being around my cousin when she's like that so I need company
Kefla:well I am honored man like seriously
Aj:well get dressed I want to make this quick so I don't have to suffer the embarrassment of carrying you back home
Kefla:relax I can control myself
*afterwards*
Aj:you take care of yourself alright
Hanami:don't worry I'll be fine little runt you should be worrying about your friend
Aj:can you hurry up I'm literally at the door
Kefla:shut up you can't rush me
Aj:sometimes I forget we share the same last name for a reason
Hanami:why you thought I'd be wasted like her
Aj:somewhat
Hanami:I'll see you around little runt
Aj:you got the contact of the guy I fought today
Hanami:yeah I'm connected with all my guys
Aj:send it to me
Hanami:sure *walks off*
Kefla:*walks over* that was fun
Aj:geez you're a mess now I don't want to go to a party with you
Kefla.*leans into him* I'll take you with me anyway
Aj.*picks her up*
Kefla:yay
Aj:if you had my alcohol tolerance this probably would've been fun *walks in*
22:hey darling
Aj:just for that you can take care of her
22:what
Aj:*puts her on the couch* it shouldn't be my responsibility anyway
Kefla:*grabs his hand* don't leave the fun just started *giggles*
Aj:fine you want to have some fun
Kefla:yep
Aj:okay how about a challenge
Kefla:yay I love challenges
Aj:okay then *puts his face next to her and whispers in her ear*
Kefla:*eyes widen*
22:what did you tell her
Aj:okay buddy
Kefla:yeah
Aj:great *backs up*
22:so are you gonna tell me
Aj:don't worry I have her a reward she would like so it's fine
22:come on you can tell me
Aj:okay come with me
Both:*walk to the room*
22:so
Aj:okay so I told her that if she could listen to every single song in the "A World's End Collection" she can take me to a party
22:how many songs is on it
Aj:50 songs
22:and how long is it
Aj:well if the Japanese metal collection is 8 hours I'd say this is about 3-5 hours
22:and she has to listen to that for that long
Aj:I mean it's a good list
22:if she falls asleep does it still count
Aj:of course I listen to music in my sleep
22:so that's why your head bobs
Aj:yeah
22:so do we just leave her
Aj:yeah just leave her she'll be listening to that all night anyway so we'll leave her but I doubt she'll get through it even I take breaks
22:maybe her determination to bring you to a party will help her prevail
Aj:I hope not
22:guess we'll find out in the morning
Aj:yeah
