School Trip, Day One. (Bus Ride, Eating Somewhere and Onsen)
Who: EVERYONE (npcs welcome)
What: Bus Ride, Eating, Onsen, Night 1 at hotel.
Where: ON A BUS
When: Late May
Why: We like trips.

Aomori-sensei was clearly not in the best of moods. He hadn't been for a while. Still, there was an air of excitement about the students who were assembling to get on the buses as they chose thier seat partners and talked. It wasn't every day that they went on a school trip. Very few of them had been paying much attention in the half-day of lessons before. Even Ishino-sensei looked the happiest she'd been since the incident.

She went through the lines of pupils, checking thier permission forms, while Aomori and Banno-sensei herded them into the coaches.

	"Did everyone remember to fasten thier seat belts?" Ishino-sensei asked, scanning the bus quickly. "Is anyone prone to travel sickness?" She scanned around for raised hands and smiled, nodding happily. We'll gto then! I hope you all enjoy yourselves." (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Kou thought this trip could be interesting. He was sitting halfway down the bus, where he'd secured himself a window seat. He liked the countryside and considered it sad he rarely visited it, except to see his grandparents. Still, he guessed he was lucky to be coming. He listened to Ishino-sensei talk, resting his head on his fist. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Much as he hated the idea of going on a trip where he'd probably be made to do some group clean-up project, the idea of not having homework and not having to help out his parents far outweighed the cons of the situation. With so many people going, dipping out of helping would be easy enough - though he probably should help people, just to have them keep quiet. Still, though he didn't have many preferences with who he shared a tent with or what the group ended up doing (so long as it wasn't constant work), there was one thing Shin had made sure to do: secure himself a seat in the very back of the bus. Like hell was he about to go who knew how many hours with chattering girls and loud boys without sneaking a cigarette. People would be less likely to bitch if he was in the back and if someone did it'd be easy enough to ditch the cigarette before a teacher reached him.

Of course, he wasn't about to risk getting his carton confiscated, so he was planning on waiting until the bus ride became intolerable. Until then, he'd listen to some music and sleep. Already, he was preparing to do so. His legs stretched out to take up the entire seat and he was already making himself comfortable - his flattened pillow that he always leaned on at home was cushioning himself from the hard interior of the bus' wall.

Hopefully, if he did need to share seats, it'd be with someone he could tolerate for a long period. Like Tanaka.

...

Maybe he'd just say he was saving the seat, if anyone asked.

Kanaye yawned. He was laying down in his seat, which was near the front. Like hell he was going to share a seat with a guy. If a girl asked, he was fine with it, but he wanted to stretch. He still hasn't fully recovered from the Video Game thing, so he wanted to let his muscles relax for as long as possible. Of course, getting that close to a girl is preferable to not having cramps.

	Kanaye nearly fell off of his chair. He righted himself and looked to see who was in the seat behind him. His smiled. "No. Much too fun." Kanaye said as he yawned again for emphasis. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Even more than the idea of being able to draw on the ride to and from the place, what really had Shiori excited was the hot springs. To be able to just sit in it and ~~boil herself into a tasty soup~~ relax sounded so nice - especially with everything that had happened lately, such as the other world and the events that had happened in them. And the things that had happened in the real world, too. It'd be nice to be able to sort her thoughts out instead of shoving them away, as she had been.

Of course, in some distant part of her mind, she had worried about who she would sit next to. Imagine her relief when she saw her favorite senpai sitting by himself immediately upon entering the bus. Nearly scrambling up the steps in her haste to get over to the blond, Shiori paused when she realized he was... bickering? with Oubai-san. And that Satou had his legs stretched out.

"Are you saving that spot, senpai?" she asked, smiling down at him.

Going on the trip was, he had to admit to himself, more of his grandparents' idea. They said it was alright, and it was educational so it was going to be worth it, but don't do anything untoward in the onsen, okay? ...Not that he would have, anyway.

Of course, the first thing he wanted to do was get to the back of the bus, because that was where the noise tended to be the least. And besides, from the back of the bus sometimes it was easier to watch if anything interesting happened.

He wasn't surprised when he saw Shin there, though. It made sense. "Mind if I sit?"

Looking up when he Tanaka spoke, Shin grinned and slid his legs off of the seat to instead push them into the back of the seat in front of them. Feet dangling as he slouched, Shin nodded.

"Yeah, of course!" Shin said. Looking past Tanaka to the white-haired punk sitting in the seat across from him, Shin winced as memories of their last excursion came back. Lightly touching the burn on his cheek, he added, "I was saving it for you. I didn't want someone like Rei-Rei-chan to sit by me."

The latter sentence was said quieter than the first. Even though Gendou was now pestering Reizo, Shin didn't want another beatdown so quickly. And definitely not in such a small space; he wasn't looking for a concussion. Or getting Tanaka somehow injured either.

"So you decided to come," Shin began conversationally, looking away from Reizo and Gendou to Tanaka.

Boarding the bus, Keiichi looked around for a place to sit. It seemed he'd been late to the party, and most of the seats were already filled. Probably would have to share.

Walking down the aisle, he spotted Kanaye -- but quickly figured the other boy was probably trying to find a girl to sit with him. One seat back, he found Oubai-san. Well. This would do.

"May I sit here, Oubai-san," he asked, gesturing to the empty aisle seat.

Toru tried to make himself seem small in his seat. Other people were sitting together and chatting, sure, but he just wanted to disappear. The counselors said he ought to spend more time with people, but like hell would he cooperate in a situation like this. The investigation team had certainly all told him they didn't blame him for... what happened... but nonetheless he doubted any of them would want to sit with him. And normally he would have some kind of handheld game system for a class trip. Not this time- the teachers had made sure that he didn't bring anything of the sort with him. So he sat quietly, hoping the bus ride would be over soon.

Kiriko was sitting at the back of the bus, trapped between the window and an extremely talkative girl also from class B who appeared to be entirely oblivious to her companion's misery. Kiriko herself was slouched in the seat, arms wrapped around her bag and chin propped up on the top of it. Occasionally she cast a look around the bus for a familiar face, someone less annoying than her busmate or more interesting that herself to save her from this unfortunate situation, and made herself a mental note to put her bag down next time she found herself with a vacant seat next to her.

Kozue had gotten on the bus with her roommate, looking forward to a long ride of chatter and inane gossip and terrible secrets about some girl in 3-F or 2-A or wherever. After all, Ayako loved following gossip: she was one of those people who bought idol-stalking and celebrity-news magazines by the bushel. But apparently she was also one of those people who only really wanted to sleep on long bus rides. And she'd brought a blanket and a pillow and everything.

Great. Just great.

Looking around for other entertainment, Kozue heard a vaguely familiar voice behind her, chattering, chattering, chattering. The girl was in her class, she remembered - and the stuff she said usually wasn't as interesting as Ayako's dirt, but it was better than being next to her snoring room-mate the entire time. So Kozue swiveled around in her seat, getting up on her knees and peeking over behind her - and she was confronted with a rather miserable looking Kiriko in the window seat behind. "Hello," she said, smiling, if a bit belatedly.

	Kiriko's eyes widened. Hope at being saved from this situation and fear of being stuck in it for the next long, long bus ride flashed across her face and was gone as soon as it came. "Hi Kondo-san," she blurted, "Who are you sitting with?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

2009-07-16 01:13 am UTC (link)

"Oh, just my roommate - she's right here," Kozue said, thinking quickly. She'd seen the brief flash of hope on Kiriko's face - it was about as clear as if someone had screamed please save me please dear god - and Kiriko's seat-mate was only now slowing her stream of chatter. A little bit.

And Kiriko would actually be even more interesting to sit next to than the chatterbox... At least, Kozue was willing to bet it. She turned to Kiriko's talkative seatmate. "You know, I thought Ayako-chan mentioned she had something she wanted to talk about with youu. I wouldn't mind switching if you wanted to find out what it was?"

The bubbly girl nodded brightly, gushed something kind about Kozue and her makeup or her hair or possibly her boyfriend (she was speaking too fast for anyone to be quite sure), and vacated the seat so Kozue could sit down. Looking up and seeing Reizo coming down the back of the bus struck her dumb momentarily and she slid in with Ayako, temporarily silent and soon resuming her one-sided conversation in low whispers.

Kiriko looked rather like a turtle coming out of its shell as Kozue took a seat next to her. She breathed a sigh of relief as her shoulders sank, and took her time about putting her back down beneath her feet and straightening back up. She cast Gendou a dark look as he passed, her eyes moving swiftly to Kozue and changing to a much more grateful expression.

"Thank you, Kondo-san. I was almost trapped with her for... how many hours?"

She sank back in her seat again, covering her face with her hands.

"Imagine what it's like rooming with her," she moaned.

Kozue dropped easily into the now-vacant seat beside Kiriko, curling her short legs underneath her torso and smiling at their classmate's retreating back. She didn't even have to move her bags, since they were in a bin overhead - her own move wasn't far enough to justify relocating anything. She watched the wave of silence move across the back of the bus as the school's scariest first year took his seat, feeling momentarily cowed herself: after all, she knew he could do magic with his cellphone and neckless dog-god-thing. They just knew he was scary. Then she turned back to Kiriko, and nodded.

"You're welcome. And I hadn't thought of that. But if she's in the dorm, I hope her roommate is a really heavy sleeper," she said quietly. Not that there was much chance she'd be overheard by the girl she was talking about: that girl probably couldn't hear anything over her own voice. "... Or owns really good headphones," she added as an afterthought. "So, are you looking forward to a break as much as I am?"

A quiet rippled down the rows of the bus, steeping seat after seat in whispers and murmurs as the towering boy stalked through them. The frenetic energy that had grabbed hold of the students on the bus was whisked away when he passed, but even the most notorious delinquent in school couldn’t keep them stymied today-- the excitement was just too great -- and so the noise ebbed back to full crescendo again.

The back row, however, was not so lucky. The excited babbling dropped completely and the mood soured and sobered as Reizo ripped a boy from the very back seat and took it up for himself, leaving the frustrated second year to wander off and eventually get settled with.. Well, he didn’t bother watching to see. He just folded his lanky frame into the seat and finally noticed who was sitting across from him.

His eyes flicked over the familiar mayor’s son, but he stayed silent for the time being. He’d hit the cigarette jackpot, but Kozue and Kiriko being all of two seats ahead of him made it a somber lottery. The quiet that’d washed over the back of the bus broke several minutes after, but the noise was still a pale comparison to the racket they’d been making earlier.

Gendou had been told to wait to check in with Ishino-sensei to make sure the students were settled in the buses. After going over the list with her he hurried onto the bus himself and looked around. Seeing Reizo sitting in the back, and as it was a good place to sit. He headed to the back and saw a second year wander away from him. Shaking his head he walked over to the deliquent and tapped on the seat.

"Would you kindly move your feet Shirai-kun, you're in my seat and I really must sit back here. I have a lovely view of Ikeda-san, and I would hate to miss this opertunity."

He smiled nicely, "Would you mind?"

Reizo didn’t bother looking up from the handheld he was playing with; it was a little odd to see the feral boy so engrossed in the small screen, but he had something of a reputation for breaking them by whipping them at some poor schmuck’s head when they annoyed him. The fact that it was the biggest wall he had up at the moment to distract him from the annoying chatter of his schoolmates was really the only reason Gendou wasn’t choking on it.

“Find a different seat,” he said, voice barely a register above a growl and the warning unmistakable. The death glare he leveled the older boy with when he finally looked up from the handheld only drove the message home deeper: quit fucking around if you want to keep breathing.

A chill ran down the back of Toru's neck. He felt the sensation of being watched... by the guidance counselor. He suddenly felt very awkward about sitting alone, and quickly stood up to move. It seemed like the majority of people had already found a seat-mate, and there weren't many places where he would have been comfortable. I suppose, at the very least, I should sit in a seat near some people... He picked a seat at random, having picked up on conversation going on.

Of course, it happened to be the seat right in front of Reizo and Gendou.

He rolled his eyes and cast a quick look at Toru, "Ishinomori-kun, do you think it's fair that someone as big as Shirai-san take up all that space on a seat that clearly can fit two people? If he chooses not to move, as it would increase his reputation that he showed some concern for his fellow classmates if he did, would you be opposed to me taking the seat beside you? That way I can keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't do something asinine that would ruin this trip for the rest of us?"

He cast a scathing look at Reizo then a cheerful smile at Toru, "By the way, dear boy, how have you been feeling? I heard you felt ill after playing one to many games recently." He lowered his voice whispering, "Don't worry, I did that my freshman year too."

Toru may have felt a chill before, but now he was completely frozen. Of all the people to take notice of him, it just had to be the student council president. What made it worse is that he was talking to him about Reizo of all people. Slowly, he turned around to address the 3rd-year.

"You're talking about Shirai-san here. For him, it's better for his reputation not to move. And..." He took a nervous glance at Reizo. "It looks like he's going to punch your face in any second now."

In response to the second question, Toru looked pointedly out the window. "I'm fine now. It's not really your business as to what goes on in my life, Retsu-san..."
