Post #2612594 in Ruinosus Rising, a roleplay on RPG

Kyouko sighed while watching Asami check herself in a polished board of all places. It's not really the obvious vanity that her demon displays rather, it's because Kyouko knows that she's just doing it so she can observe how Kyouko manages in different social environments.

"Hi! I'm Vergil, hell of a class today huh? Seriously challenging the teach to a death match. Choice move on that kids part, the fight didn't even last long enough to learn anything from."

Kyouko was suddenly surprised when someone approached her. He seemed to be from the same class but, she couldn't recall seeing him come in earlier. She thought he must have come in when they were all led outside by their instructor. He wasn't the one actually speaking though. Rather, a small fox-lady no more than seven inches was doing the speaking on his behalf.

"Ara? Kitsune? Haven't seen a lot of those lately. Though Vergil seems to be an odd name for one." Asami wasn't actually referring to her gender but to the western origin of her name. Turning around, she noticed Kyouko glaring and hissing at her, implying that she may have done something her retainer found stupid.

Kyouko only nodded at Vergil's original statement. Still, recalling how their instructor looked prepared to kill was a little unsettling. Does it mean that he's hiding another side to the professional exterior he showed earlier? She was probably overthinking, she thought.

"Oh! And I'm Melody, Vergil is my bestest buddy, even if he is a bit of a dummy head sometimes. Anywho even though he didn't ask I'm sure he's dying to know, so I'll ask for him, what are ya hiding up there?"

The little demon finally introduced herself as well, revealing her name to be Melody. She was inquiring about her naginata but before she could answer, again comes Asami with her side comment.

"What kind of fox spirit has a name like Melody? Just curious." Again, Kyouko shot her a glare which practically translates to "Why are you asking so many stupid questions?" "Okay. No more side comments." Asami finally resigns.

"Weapon..." Kyouko managed to blurt out. She didn't really mind since they were from the same class. She didn't really feel nervous about making eye-contact but it seems this Vergil fellow had his attention to his demon, appearing as if he was scolding her. He spoke up again, using some sort of technology but the words sounded mechanical so she waited for the his demon to pipe in.

"Melody you know better than to ask that, we hardly know her and although I am curious she is allowed her secrets and we mustn't pressure her, you know I just wanted to get more aquainted with this pretty girl, you didn't need to bug her like that, wait why are you translating this, this lecture is just for you ya know. Sorry about that she can be handful, say didn't I see you around school last year? You seem familiar, I wasn't in club though, didn't wanna, but I don't know might be fun so I decided to give it a shot this year. Oh goodness where are my manors, and what might your name be?"

Asami was observing the little exchange and having sorted out her thoughts now, drifted to Kyouko's side. "It seems your situations aren't so different after all." Kyouko was just relieved that she didn't blurt anything random again. Like her, the Vergil fellow had a hard time speaking--or maybe he doesn't talk at all? He uses the little object he carries around to compose his thoughts and if the sound coming from it was too inaudible, Melody translates this for him. Though their difference is that Melody literally reads things out word for word whereas Asami does the talking for them, even if it wasn't exactly what Kyouko would say.

"Last year--I skipped a lot..." Kyouko took a deep breath. Until now, she still finds it hard to speak. Asami, noticing this decided to fulfill her role again.

"We weren't really full-time members last year as we had to return to Aokigahara for our personal extensive training. I am Asami, and this is my retainer, Hanabusa Kyouko."

After Asami finished, Kyouko bowed her head slightly, like she always does after Asami introduces them.
