( 1st banana peel ✘ intro )

[benchguin]

Characters: fudou akio (benchguin)
Setting: floor 14 - media room OR some hallway
Format: can be whatever!
Summary: fudou wakes up after his joyous arrival and does his thing.
Warnings: jerk being a jerk, but that's about it.

[ OPTION A: media room ]

[ Like all newcomers, rather than feeling welcomed, they felt other mix of emotions instead and wow, were these tights hella ugly.  (Not even someone with bad fashion sense like Fudou would wear it.  Thank god).  Finding his soccer uniform in his designated trunk, he immediately changed and set off to recon this shithole he was spirited away to.  And he wasn't happy while doing it.  So unhappy, it was bound to affect his choice of wording more than it usually did, and while he peeked into the media room to see the back of a person casually doing their thing, he did just that. 

Look at that loser.  Happily playing games and listening to music like they had no care in the world.  Didn't they have any sense of dignity?  Only losers gave up their situation to do whatever they wanted.  The type he hated the most. ]

Must be nice, relaxing and (watching TV/playing games/etc.) all day.  Guess you must really like it here.

[ OPTION B: some hallway ]

[ If one happened to walk around some hallway during the right time, they will hear strange thumping sounds against the walls.  And it sounded like it was on the move.  The noise resonates closer and closer until:

ONE:  You don't care cause you happen to be an idiot so you keep walking until a soccer ball hits you right in the face.  Or the groin, or whatever destiny chooses.  If you expect an apology, you won't get any...  In the sincere form, anyway.

TWO:  Congratulations!  You intercepted the ball at some point and in some way!  Looks like you have some kind of skill at least.  He applauds your greatness.  Only not, cause you're rude to interrupt his training, how dare you.  God bless whatever direction this choice goes for the two of them...

THREE:  ???  For the possibility of something else occurring... ]

[ WOW GENDA. Don't make him throw another banana peel at you now... ]

What?! [ He's not in the greatest mood either, but tries to appear collected for the moment. ]

Heh... I wasn't even playing seriously. You must be the one getting rusty, Genda.

[whatpenguin]

... I guess it could be. This place does a number on the people here, after all.

[You know what - have a smile. Even if it looks. Pretty tired...]

I'm glad to see you unharmed, at least.

[benchguin]

[ Not in the mood to make snide remarks anymore, Fudou merely frowns and crosses his arms. ]

And you guys look pathetic. Guess this place really did do a number on you.

[whatpenguin]

Didn't take the others' word on it, I'll assume.

Yeah. It's a lot tougher than it looks.
I've been attacked by monsters, forced to scavenge like an animal for food, and thrown through experiments, so far.

[His smile falters a bit. Maybe if he's the one who breaks it all to him, Fudou would believe it more?
... Probably not, but hey, he can try.]

Just so you know ahead of time, death isn't permanent in this place. But don't do anything reckless just because of that.

[benchguin]

[ Truth be told, Fudou probably did trust everyone's words, but only after he drank in their tired and weary reactions. They were all so worn out and not themselves, it almost made him sick. ]

Experienced that yourself too?

[whatpenguin]

Yeah. In one of the worst ways possible, I'd say.

I'm trying not to let everything get to me, though. The worst thing you could do while facing something like this is let your morale down.
I just need a little bit of good rest and good food, and I'll be right as rain in no time.

[Maybe?? But first he has to catch the food because NUTRITION BARS...
... Perhaps he can take Fudou fishing with him -]

[benchguin]

[ Yeah, yeah, Genda. Not that Fudou cares about what you need to do to recover or anything! But he is curious about one thing. ]

Does this shitty place even have good food?

[ UNSURE. ]

[whatpenguin]

Right now, no. All the cafeteria offers is these bricks called nutrition bars.
They're disgusting.

But we could always catch fish together, and I can make something out of that.

... Well - for after you eat your oatmeal. You have to have the oatmeal they offer, or you'll just throw everything else up.

[benchguin]

[ WHAT A PAIN... It doesn't look like Genda's lying though so he'll keep that in mind. But. ]

Fish.

[ Where fish. ]

[whatpenguin]

Yes, fish. The aquarium here has just about any fish you can imagine.
... And some that are kind of hard to imagine, too. I'm thinking they're from all the different worlds.

But they're easy to catch and edible, so we could get some together, and I can make whatever you want.

[Should they go, then??]

[benchguin]

[ NO.

Except, he doesn't even know where this aquarium is. Said aquarium could be the only resource for good food if Genda was telling the truth. Looks like he might have no choice in the matter... ]

Stop joking around. Can you even cook?

[ That's yes, in Fudou language. ]

[whatpenguin]

[OH DON'T MAKE HIM LAUGH. CAN HE COOK, PFFTT...
Actually he does laugh a little about that.]

I've been cooking ever since I was young, Fudou - even Sakuma jumps at the chance to have some of my cooking!

Come on; let's go catch something to eat.

[benchguin]

Fine, but don't expect me to jump.

[ Fudou can actually cook a little too, so they could probably have some kind of cooking collaboration together. ]

[whatpenguin]

[Yes they need to cook together, it would be a ~bonding experience~.
He'll lead him to the aquarium, then!!!]

Don't worry, you don't need to jump in this aquarium.

[He'll see when they get there. ;)]

[benchguin]

Hm.

[ He follows Genda as they venture off to said aquarium while being the chatty self he usually was (read: he's not) but does marvel at the huge glassless tank when they finally get there. ]

...Should've known it'd be another weird one.

[ A magical aquarium for a magical shitty tower! ]

[whatpenguin]

You learn to roll with the weirdness after a while.
Nothing really surprises me here, anymore.

[And now he's shrugging his jacket off and tossing it to the side because he's not about to get it wet, thanks.
Same goes the shoes and everything else.]

So what are you in the mood for? Tuna? Carp?
Shark?

[He'll so wrestle a shark if you want, Fudou --]

[benchguin]

[ Side eying him a little. If you die then it's not his fault! ]

Fish is fish. Let's go.

[whatpenguin]

[HAHA you say that like he hasn't wrestled a shark before.
But he'll just leap into the water then, swimming away a bit.
He's not gonna wait up for you, Fudou!!]

[benchguin]

[ Noticing how Genda simply jumps right in, Fudou quickly knocks off his shoes, slips his shirt off and follows suit until he's all caught up.

What now, Genda? Are you gonna wrestle a shark like Fubuki with his bears? ]

[whatpenguin]

[No!! But only because Fudou's with him - too dangerous. He doesn't want any fanged fish going after his friend!

No, he's going to go after something else - which he seems to have spotted since he's swimming away!

Fudou might notice the gigantic trout he's going after, of course.]

[benchguin]

[ Ew, gross. Who is whose friend again?

He does spot the trout however, and immediately recognizes it as their prey. Swiftly, he swims right past the fish as he tries to scare it to swim in another direction. ]

[whatpenguin]

[Oh! Fudou's going to get the best parts of the fish for helping out, especially since it seems to be going Genda's way --

And once it's close enough, he gets to see the goalkeeper wrestle with a giant trout.
Nothing like watching a fourteen year old beast fighting with a giant fish, right?]

[benchguin]

[ With his part over with, Fudou merely floats around in the water with his arms crossed, waiting for the result of the great wrestling match.

If you lose he's gonna ditch you, loser! ]

[whatpenguin]

[HA, LIKE HE'D LOSE TO A FISH...
Unless it's Feferi.

But no! He manages to knock it out and starts swimming out of the water - c'mon, baldy!]

[benchguin]

[ And with that, Fudou follows suit and walks out of the water's edge, shaking off the excess water from his hair as he tries not to freeze his butt off. ]
