INTRO LOG

[mediumatlarge]

[[Exactly what it says on the tin! This is just an initial log to sort of get things started and is largely freeform, open to (but not limited to):

-Meetings before classes start
-First day business
-Dorm shenanigans meetings
-First classes in progress
-or whatever the heck else you want to do for beginning-of-term things!

There's a CR meme up now for some initial planning if you like, or feel free to just hop in here.]]

[bakegarasu]

Then I'll just have to try harder, huh?

[broil]

Oh, sure - I like it when everyone tries harder around me.

[bakegarasu]

The semester's still young. You'll have your chance.

[broil]

[hm. he tilts his head defiantly.]

Can't wait.

[bakegarasu]

We'll see.

What's your name, kid?

[broil]

You mean you haven't heard of me? I don't know if I should feel offended or sorry for you.

[You poor, poor man.]

Petre Dodrescu.

[bakegarasu]

[Shit more names he's going to butcher.]

Dodrescu.

[Aaand there's that awkward pronunciation.]

I'm Otoha.

[You don't get a first name. No one gets his.]

[broil]

[suddenly he really wants a cigarette.]

Otoha. Or do I have to call you professor?

[bakegarasu]

Otoha's fine. Professor is too formal.

[English, you're super weird with your lack of formality levels.]

[broil]

Too formal. And here I thought you were the type.

[bakegarasu]

Nah. Back home I was basically a grunt.

[broil]

Really.

[He sounds interested. And he takes that as a cue to walk on over and find a seat somewhere. Tell him all about it.]

[bakegarasu]

[Oh well.]

Something like that. 'Cleanup crew', technically.

[broil]

You're gonna have to elaborate on that.

[bakegarasu]

[He just gestures to his sword.]

For cleaning up the 'mess' the group didn't want.

[broil]

[he snorts, a little incredulously.]

And they hired you? A killer? You're shitting me.

[woops, language.]

[bakegarasu]

[Like he cares.]

'Hired' is a strong word. 'Grabbed to make sure I didn't cause damage and anti-mutant sentiment' is more like it.

[He shrugs.]

My father ran the group. He took the one person that I cared about from me. So I did the same to him, except the only person he cared about was himself. It didn't go over well so I... left. It's hard to catch someone who can run circles around you before you can blink.

[broil]

[Petre laughs, lightly. That's amusing enough to hear about - they'll really do anything, won't they.]

Oh, daddy issues. [Isn't that just precious.] I love issues.

[bakegarasu]

He was my brother too.

[Yeeeep. That sure is a thing. He doesn't really care, though.]

[broil]

[There is absolutely no sympathy in the way his lips stretch, head shaking softly.]

Even better!

[bakegarasu]

Doesn't matter. It didn't really change anything.

[broil]

It never does.

[He could care about the people that died back in that church, all burned alive, and it wouldn't change anything either. What's done is done, and he accepts that the way it is.]

[bakegarasu]

What about you? What's your story?

[broil]

Oh, you know. [He leans his head on a closed fist, looks off like he's talking about today's weather, sighing softly.]

Family died in a fire. I survived. Can't remember a single thing. The usual.

[bakegarasu]

Sounds rough.

[That's what you're supposed to say, right?]
