[bakegarasu]

It sort of happens when you grow up in the yakuza, yeah.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

The what now?

[bakegarasu]

... Japanese organized crime, basically.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

I met someone else Japanese here. You know Neku? Telekinetic, younger than me. Bright red hair.

[Just a weird coincidence. On to the more important part:]

Holy shit. You were in the mob.

[bakegarasu]

Don't think so, but I don't know everyone here.

[He laughs again. He likes this kid.]

Yeah. My father ran one of the branches of one of the groups that operated in Shinjuku.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

That is so badass. [Seriously, eyes shining. He has never taken to a teacher here - ever, but certainly not this quickly.] I'd have a damn good arson rap sheet if they put together everything I burned down while I was homeless, but - god, that is badass. You must be bored as shit here.

[bakegarasu]

Y... eah. Well about that. I can't exactly go back. I sort of... killed my father.

[For a number of reasons, so...]

I need to keep my head down here for the most part.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Lucky. Mine were gone before I could do anything. I got the house, but -

[Okay, he can't say too much of this in front of a teacher, badass history or not.]

- you're still bored though, right? Just 'cause you have to doesn't mean you like it. I've got literally nowhere else to go and I still hate it.

[bakegarasu]

Yeah, I am. It's way quieter than I'm used to.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Hey, I do what I can, but I'm only one shit-stirrer. [The smirk is back now.] And they've got Petre locked down hard, but I doubt that'll keep him quiet.

[Odd that he's slipped into that 'they' language, even though this man must be part of the staff or at least the X-Men to be here. It's just so clear that he doesn't fit.]

[bakegarasu]

I ran into him earlier. Sounds like you had a fun night.

[For varying levels of 'fun'.]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

The best night. Nothing like hitting up the seediest parts of NYC and actually having a bed to sleep in afterward.

[But there's still Petre's stupid order on him. It hasn't gotten him into trouble yet, but it's going to. At some point, he'll have to try and make contact with a guy for something, and he'll look like an idiot.

Fucking Petre and his messed up jealousy.]

We're not friends or anything. The staff stuck us together as roommates to try and force us to play nice. [He huffs, gaze shifting upward.] We'll never play nice.

[bakegarasu]

There are some guys who you'll never be able to get along with. I'd say you have to learn how to deal with them, but...

[He's kind of the last person who should be imparting life lessons.]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

We've got our ways.

[He will pay Petre back for that order. He doesn't know how yet, but he will. The war rages on.]

Just my shitty luck that he's impervious to fire, or they'd be housing an arsonist and a murderer here.

[No John, not in front of staff]

[bakegarasu]

Just don't get yourself in more trouble. There's only so much you can cover with telepaths here.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Trust me, man, I know. [He shrugs, his eyes almost lit up from inside as he smiles wickedly.] But nothing's stopping me. They'll never kick someone outta here. Just means they'll learn how much it sucks to bleed out from the heart.

[bakegarasu]

I'm not really the happiest with some of the things they do here either, but I haven't been around long enough to get a sense of the place.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Report back when you have it, then. I think we'll be on the same page.

[And having even one staff member on his side will be a major boost.]

[bakegarasu]

Yes sir.

[He chuckles a little, but it's somewhat relieved. He's glad to have found at least one student who has a decent head on their shoulders.]

Hm. I wonder if they'd let me take you for some guard detail at night. A sort of 'this is what happens to people who break the rules' thing. It could be fun, and you'd get credit for work...

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[John whips his head up to stare at him, expression pure disbelief.]

Seriously? You'd get me out of here?

[bakegarasu]

Why not? Boring you isn't going to teach you anything other than 'how to get mad'.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[He laughs coolly.] Life gave me a degree in that way before I came here. Alright, let's see if you can pull it off.

[bakegarasu]

I hear that. And I'll talk to the other teachers. We'll see what I can do.

[Convincing people isn't exactly his best skill, but he'll give it a shot.]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Shit. [He glances around the library, a sneer of distaste on his lips.] I won't miss this if you pull it off. Yeah, I skipped out on lockdown, but I still got the worse punishment.

[bakegarasu]

I'm not exactly a fan of libraries either. At least if you were doing work outside you'd be learning some skill.
