I have to get someone to tell my god that they're switching to his team. [ . . . ] And I like him, so I'd prefer that if I manage it, it's for real, you know?
[he just - doesn't like disappointing people.]
I don't know if we have that in Japan, but it clearly works for you. Your skin's lovely.
[She gives another nervous laugh at the wink, but then she focuses on the last question he asks.]
Yeah, I am. They're really nice, but more than that, they really don't want anyone to get hurt. The task they gave me was to help everyone, not to help themselves win. I can't think of any reason why I would defect from someone like that.
The dorm leaders pick who gets put in pairs for the school year, and I have no idea what they were thinking in this case. I've tried to swap plenty of times but it's never happened.
Performances mostly.... If we performed really well together, we'd get to separate - and we did! But it still didn't place as high as everyone else... The other time, I had to perform solo by myself and if I was good enough, I'd be allowed to switch to the other dorm - but my dorm head said he liked my performance so much he didn't want to let me go.

[She tries to return the smile, even if it's tired. She's sure he's feeling plenty of that himself.]
That sounds pretty nice. Normally I just use, like, Clearasil.

[he says that so easily god i hate senri]
no subject
[She blinks, then laughs despite herself, startled and a touch embarrassed.]
Oh, well, thanks. Yours isn't half bad.
[That's much more of a flustered attempt to turn attention back to him than it is any kind of flirting.]
no subject
I'm touched, Zo.
[though he does pause at the mention of gods]
.... you're sticking with yours? The chance to switch is tomorrow, after all.
no subject
Yeah, I am. They're really nice, but more than that, they really don't want anyone to get hurt. The task they gave me was to help everyone, not to help themselves win. I can't think of any reason why I would defect from someone like that.
no subject
What's your task?
no subject
[A beat.]
Which is why I got on your case for the hugging thing not being important. Sorry.
no subject
[senri laughs]
Don't apologize for that. I'm always mad at Bakaomi.
no subject
[She tilts her head, curious.]
no subject
Yeah - we're roommates and partners back at our school. Have you talked to him at all?
no subject
Only during the trial. Why are you partners if you don't get along?
no subject
That guy's just super hard to get along with!
no subject
[A shrug.]
Yeah, he kind of seemed like a jerk, I guess.
no subject
[hE'S NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT]
He is a jerk.... If he's ever rude to you, just hit him, Zo. He'd deserve it.
no subject
[A small laugh.]
Apparently he's going to hug me if I ever try.
no subject
[he's so salty....]
Don't! He doesn't deserve Zo's hugs!!
no subject
[save senri 2k19
But that gets another small laugh.]
Since when is it Zo?
no subject
[he's just such a lame rabbit]
no subject
[But, hm.]
Do you want one in return?
no subject
Only if it's not too much to ask!
no subject
It's not. Is Sen too simple?
no subject
[he's so
damn easily pleased]
no subject
You seem really happy about this.
no subject
[like he's still absolutely exhausted but]
Mm, I definitely am. This week was hard but... I don't want it to deter me from still making more friends.
no subject
Sappy.
