ITP: Wise Actions

[forgetbeam]

Characters: Kiyotaka Ishimaru and YOU
Setting: A few places on various days.
Format: You pick!
Summary: A couple of things have been weighing down on his mind lately, but hey - there's new stuff to explore, so he might as well make himself feel useful and check them out instead of sulking.
Warnings: Probably violence on the classroom floor due to Ishimaru being a dumbass. Classroom shenanigans should probably all be kept to the same thread.

[Classroom]

[The second Ishimaru finds himself greeted with a classroom environment, he brightens up considerably. Sure, it's a bit of a dusty old mess, but he'd always been the type to volunteer to tidy up classrooms after school back home anyway - he was fully prepared for this! Once it's clean, it will be in top condition for the makeshift study group to use and everything!

First things first, he's going to straighten up all these desks. Why are they even all upside down like this?]



[Sauna]

[A sauna... doesn't sound like such a bad idea, actually. As long as there's not some awful twist where it cooks you alive. He doesn't approve of there being a mixed room at all, but adults can do what they want... He'll just have to come back later and put a note on the door discouraging anything dirty.

For now he's going to explore the locker room, taking note of just how many lockers are in here, and trying to find the one with his own name on it. ...Well, there should be two as long as his other self is here, so he might as well find both of them.]



[Ball Pit]

[Ishimaru led a very sheltered childhood.

As such, he has no idea what to make of the massive ball pit on this floor. Part of him wants to step out into it just to see how deep the mess goes, but... He's going to linger on the staircase for a while anyway. He'll have to ask whoever passes by what the heck it's even supposed to be.]



[Elsewhere]

[So maybe Ishimaru's studying in the reference library instead, or in the dorm hallways, or in his own dorm, or eating in the cafeteria. Or on any of the other floors you'd like to run into him on. I am flexible.]

Ball Pit

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko was doing a lot of climbing in her attempt to explore the new floors of the Tower. However, when she paused on one floor to take a breather, she noticed a familiar boy in a white uniform.]

Ah, Kiyotaka! Do you remember me?!

[forgetbeam]

[He looks a little taken aback by being addressed by his first name - by a stranger, no less! ...He wonders if he's being mixed up for that other Ishimaru.]

...

[There is some sense of familiarity, but it's incredibly vague.]

Actually... I can't say that I do. How do you know me?

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko sighed and smiled..but it looked a little sad.

So he had forgotten her after all..]

Back when you were aged up, I met and spoke with you. You said that, even if you didn't remember me afterwards, that it would be nice if we could be friends.

You also told me to tell you this: The one claiming to be your brother is dangerous.

[forgetbeam]

Is that so?

[He is aware of having been older for a little while, and while he has no idea how such a thing is possible, he does accept it as a thing that actually happened... As after waking up at his normal age again, he'd been filled with conflicting feelings and beliefs and wasn't sure what he should have been thinking. The confusion over it did gradually settle down, but being reminded of it only stirs them up again. Particularly when his "brother" is mentioned.

Of course, he'd stabbed Mondo, which was unforgivable. But he also promised not to do anything like that again... The danger was over, right?]

What do you mean by dangerous? What did... I tell you?

[The friendship thing also has his interest but he's got to get the most important things out of the way first.]

Sauna

[alephbet]

[Aleph's here and doing much the same thing as his roommate.]

This is familiar, at least. Better than most of the other new floors.

[forgetbeam]

[Hey sup, roomie.]

Some of the floors I had to pass to find this one seemed more even more impossible than the lower levels. Am I right in thinking that one of them was made of... meat?

[He spent way too long cleaning his boots after rushing through that one.]

[alephbet]

It was like being in the inside of a creature. ...Believe me, I've been inside one at home, it's exactly like that.

[It was gross there, too.]

ball pit

[ghostytrainer]

[John is already more or less buried in the ball pit, "swimming" around and laughing with his Litwick. Eventually though, he gets that feeling that he's not alone. And sure enough, when he turns around, he catches sight of another boy on the staircase.]

[Diving back into the pit, he makes for the edge of the ball pit, beaming up at Ishimaru. His Litwick squeaks and follows after him though instead of stopping at the edge of the ballpit, floats right up to Ishimaru and begins circling around him, squeaking.]

You know, I guarantee you that you'll have more fun jumping in here then you will staring.

[forgetbeam]

[Being in the Tower for a few months has made Ishimaru wary of even something as cute as a floating candle with a face... which on its own is still kind of a weird sight.

At least it doesn't seem to be outright hostile or anything. Besides, it's daytime... He still keeps his guard up while looking down at the boy in the ball pit.]

Is that so...? What exactly is supposed to be "fun" about it?

[He's been told more than once before coming here that he could stand to loosen up and have 'fun,' but... usually that was by people trying to get him to let them off when they knew they'd broken the rules.

There doesn't seem to be any harm in this, though. Aside from it being utterly baffling in the first place.]

[ghostytrainer]

[Oh no, she's definitely very friendly. No worries here. Just look at that smile!]

Well it... [His face goes blank for a second. He wasn't really expecting that question and how do you explain what makes something fun?] err...you don't have ball pits where you come from? I guess it's fun in the same sense that swimming in a pool is fun. Because that's basically what this is, only instead of water it's full of plastic balls. Makes for a good game of hide and seek, if nothing else. or dodgeball.

sauna;

[chainsawn]

[ Hey, Ishimaru.

There's a girl standing in the locker room as well. S t a r i n g.

.. No, that's seriously pretty much what she's doing. With the blankest expression, but she sure isn't looking away. ]

[forgetbeam]

[He stares right back.]

. . .

[...Does she need something? Is there something on his face? What's going on, here.]

. . .

[He should probably say something.]

...So, did you need something?

[chainsawn]

You shouldn't go into the sauna with that.

[ She slowly sticks out her arm, pointing at his uniform with a single finger and still with the blankest expression on her face as well. ]

It'll be too hot.

classroom

[autopsic]

[ Kirigiri had yet to explore thoroughly and exhaustively throughout the new floors, but here she was. A classroom in view, one which reminded her of the rooms back at Hope's Peak, but upon entering she notices she is not alone.

Noticing the white uniform, stern expression of her former classmate; she's wary and on her feet due to the information provided from Mondo. Not yet does she know which Ishimaru is in fact ' The Mastermind ', but a Kirigiri was always cautious.

She takes a step forward, towards the hall monitor and making herself known. ]

Ishimaru-kun.

This should go well...

[forgetbeam]

[Of course, since Kirigiri's debut on the network was at a time that Ishimaru himself was still preoccupied with the sudden appearance of his doppelganger, he had no idea she was even in the Tower. Until now.

He looks up from the desk he's straightening out and stares for a moment. It's been a few months, but he can easily recognize that silvery hair.]

Oh, Kirigiri-kun! When did you get here?

I hope so...

[autopsic]

[ A Kirigiri always knows how to make an entrance, and finding out what was behind this tower. New floors would only be something to get used to, so it was perfectly a-okay with her.

Her gaze takes a look around the classroom, feeling reminiscent of the school she had come from. It was much better here, although she was angry with being brought here before finding out the truth. ]

A month ago. [ Her gaze returns to Ishimaru, to see if she could pick any sort of differences between the Ishimaru she knew. ] I have been keeping to myself, although the structure of said classroom is enough for me to investigate.

I noticed you had been straightening the desks, why is that? [ He's going to make them all go to school.. right, right. ]

you know where

[mustlovedogs]

[Mondo turns when Ishimaru comes in. Locking eyes with him.

You thinking what I'm thinking, bro?]

In my wildest fantasies, right

[forgetbeam]

[Ishimaru meets his gaze, and an unspoken agreement passes between them. The kind of mutual understanding exclusive to a masculine bond like theirs.

He nods...]

[forgetbeam]

[AND STRIPS AGGRESSIVELY.]

[get_bent]

[Kanji walked in.]

[get_bent]

[get_bent2]

[Kanji ran out.]

Elsewhere: Dorm hallways

[cutestprogrammer]

[Chihiro encounters him in the dorm hallways.]

Good morning, Ishimaru-kun!

[forgetbeam]

Ah, good morning, Fujisaki-kun! You're greeting the day with such spirit! That's wonderful to see!

[cutestprogrammer]

I'm glad you're well too, Ishimaru-kun! Where are you off to now?
