Jyuushirou Ukitake - Bleach

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

[ Action Prompt ]


Alright class, we've got something exciting for you guys this month! So I'm going to assume you're all familiar with Shakespeare, yes? Well we've gotten permission from the Salem Center Community Theatre to put on an all-student production of Twelfth Night! Isn't that exciting? It will be a chance to truly experience Shakespeare's works the way they were meant to be, not just from the audience, but on the stage yourself!

So, who wants to act? Direct? Stage manager? Let's all work together to put on a great show!


[ Prose Prompt ]


He'd barely made it down the hallway after excusing himself before it started. The coughing no doubt echoed in that old structure, embarrassingly drawing attention. Even his students could probably hear it. Damnit... he hadn't meant to make anyone worry. But today was just not a good day for his lungs. He'd need to make his way to see Hank. Assuming he could get there on his own...

Negi's working on grading papers, his red pen making a few checkmarks and a couple of circles here and there, indicating that his current class of ESL students were performing between poorly and excellent. It was here that he yawned and stretched out, reaching for his cup of tea and taking a sip -- only to cough and sputter. "Coffee?" he exclaimed in disgust. "Oh gross! And it's cold too. Who replaced my tea with coffee?"

Making a face, he got up, moving over to the sink to dump it out and brew himself a new cup of tea, only to find his personal kettle was missing. Looking around, he groaned and threw his hands up in the air. "Someone's pranking me I know it."

Welcome to the Institute and the new year everyone.
I'm Negi Springfield, your English teacher primarily, but I also teach other languages.
I hope everyone's settling in well, and I look forward to teaching you everyone.
My office hours are from 9 to 2 every day before my class, and I can be found there or around campus.
If you have any questions please ask.
Also if any clubs require sponsorship from a faculty member, I'm available with my evenings wide open.
Any questions for me before I log for the night?

"Jyuushirou, you okay?" Have a concerned looking Negi behind you, holding onto a stack of papers and his customary staff slung over his shoulder. He's standing a respectful distance behind the other man when he heard the coughing.

"Need help getting to Hank?"

Kenzi was the type of girl that's always on the move. Mostly because her busy hands couldn't help but pick something up and take off with it. Today is just such a day. Her haul so far was a few pens that caught her interest, someone's cellphone (although she wasn't entirely sure why she even took that one, she'd have to return it later), a few bucks and some spare change. Not the best but what could you do in a school?

She made her way for the kitchen, snagging an apple with her telekinesis on her way through. Although she was much more focused on eating it than where she was going.



[Network - Voice]
Gotta say this school is pretty awesome. Y'know as awesome as a school gets. Which, in reality, isn't all that awesome.

Although some of you peeps are pretty schway. I've honestly never been in a place with so many other mutants. Kinda nice not having to worry about using my powers.

Anywaaaaay, I'm Kenzi and I am so not goth despite my penchant for dark clothing.

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

Caught. Not that it was surprising.

"Ah, well... This is a pretty bad one, it seems. So some help would be indeed appreciated."

[sou_kigetsuki]

[Sou sits across from his new English teacher with a grin. He then produces his assignments even though he has been out of town the entire summer for the equestrian events and being part of the club, he never missed an event.]

Done and done. Also, I should say, our club won again this year. Ever since I came here and started captaining the team, we've been undefeated since. Maybe next year, you can start calling me coach.

[found_a_way]

"I hear you. Grab hold, I'll bring you to Hank." Moving over to Jyoushirou, he helped the other man sling his arm around his shoulder. "This isn't curable right? Genetics?"

[found_a_way]

Well I admit that there's a lot of things you've done well with. Although we'll have to make certain the faculty is okay with it first. You know, I can't jump through too many hoops on my own.

[Despite this, Negi grinned a little.]

[sou_kigetsuki]

[This makes Sou laugh. After a few days of being back only a day from the competitions, he's in a good mood.]

Yeah, yeah, okay, Teach. You know this isn't my style talking street, but it seems to be what all the cool kids are doing. At any rate, how did your summer go?

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

"Mutations come, good or bad... I've learned to live with it, so need to worry yourself, yes?" Jyuushirou managed a chuckle inbetween coughs, following the much shorter teacher's directions. A good thing about that height difference... It made this a lot easier.

[Network - Voice]

[green_eyed]

You may not be goth, but you sure sound like an idiot. Why did you feel the need to say that? It's pointless. No one cares.

[wisecracked]

Who pissed in your Honey-Os?

And I said it because I get tired of hearing it. Simple as that.

[found_a_way]

Pretty good progress. I've found a few more leads on my father.

[it was no big secret that Negi's father was part of Ala Rubedo, a noted UN group but what was special with it was that it was one of the most public face hero groups out there. He smiled a little.] More than that, I also found leads on my mother.

[found_a_way]

"Still it doesn't feel right that yours is causing all of this suffering at times." sighed Negi.

[thought_takes_flight]

[The Twelfth Night. Not his favorite play by the Bard. A winged boy in the back continued to read the class-issued book version. Maybe if he stayed quiet enough, the teacher would skip over him. Acting wasn't his forte.

Neither was participating.]

[sou_kigetsuki]

Seriously? That's impressive. My dad sent me a telegram to tell me that he's not cutting me off. If you need any money for travel, let me know. No strings attached. I might be able to get you into some nice accommodations since my father owns most of the international hotel market.

Heh, I won't get to inherit it though.

I must say, hearing that you found your parents makes me a little jealous. Happy, but jealous. Were you close to them?

[There's a hint of concern because Sou has been on the side where he met with his mother for the first time and was met with contempt because of his powers as a mutant. She didn't care about him as the man he was growing up to be.]

[found_a_way]

[Negi shook his head.] I didn't know them for a long time. My dad and mom left me with my uncle Stan and my cousin Nekane when I was just a baby. It took me a long time to even hear about them, but that was when I was teaching in Japan.

I knew my dad was alive but it wasn't till I was fifteen that I heard about my mother. It's not that they abandoned me, they just left me in Wales for my own protection.

[A fat lot that did, when a anti-mutant terrorist cell attacked their village. Even with his dad driving them off, the town had been in ruins for a long time.]

[sou_kigetsuki]

[This was enough to make Sou straighten his back and listen with every fiber of his being than just casual conversation. He didn't have the same background that Negi did, but at least he could sympathize even a little.]

Is there a way to get word to them to let them know that you're still alive? What about your uncle and cousin? Are they able to tell them?

[Sou had the feeling the answer to that wasn't going to be a positive one but he asked just the same.]

[found_a_way]

I can try. There's a couple of connections I made in Japan with my students. I have at least a couple looking in on it.

[Which was better than expected due to the Yukihiro resources but still...]

[black_lily]

Shakespeare?

[She pronounces the name... strangely, as if she never heard the name before. Which is odd, because otherwise her English is rather good]

I've never heard of him. He must not be important. [Well, that would explain that...]

You should do something from the Takarazuka Revue instead.

[Ironically, that group has done Twelfth Night before.]

[She clearly has no idea how this kind of stuff works beyond the spectator position]

Ayaka wasn't the prankster. She didn't really have the right mindset for it.

That didn't mean she didn't enjoy a good laugh at Negi's expense, as she happened to be passing by the room at that moment for some reason.

Maybe she shouldn't be drawing attention to herself like this.

Re: Prose

[found_a_way]

Making a face, Negi looked up and his eyebrow twitched. "A-ya-ka..." he grumbled, shaking his head with a sigh. "Did you do this?"

[black_lily]

She doesn't quite register the question for a good few seconds, still laughing at his misfortune... but when it clicks-

2/2

[black_lily]

"M-me?!" she faltered at the question, before demanding, "Why would I even want to touch your cup?!"

She seemed to think touching other people's cups was gross, apparently, whether they had already drunken from it or not.

[Prose]

[black_lily]

Ayaka was enjoying a large piece of cake, courtesy of the kitchen's chef.

But she had other places to be and she was rather focused on eating, too. From an outsider's perspective, the inevitable collision (and the cake suddenly becoming smeared all over Ayaka's face as a result) looked to be more Ayaka's fault than Kenzi's.

"Y-you...!" Ayaka stammered angrily, "How dare you!"

Clearly, she blamed everything on Kenzi.
