[The school is empty. The school is quiet. The only sound that cuts through the silence is the soft ticking of the hallway clocks that mark the passing of each second.]

[. . .]

[At least. . . until a stiff breeze whips through the classrooms, scattering dirty papers and jerking the curtains aside. The clock strikes 6:00 a.m.]

[The school bell chimes.]

[ordimame]

[HE DOESN'T THINK HE'S THE CAPTAIN OF ANYTHING HE JUST STOLE "CAP" FROM CAPPUCCINO AND WENT FROM THERE. . .]

. . . no. Isn't "Mushroom Cap" too much of a mouthful to be a name?

[memori3s]

[ But he said "Captain"!! ]

...just "Mushroom," then.

[ Is he just fucking with Edamame now. Perhaps. ]

[ordimame]

[H. HELP. BULLIED BY TEENS??]

. . . not "Mushroom!" That's not-- I'm not going by that!

[memori3s]

[ Okok. He'll just say Mushroom-san to himself. ]

Cap.

[ Cap for Captain and Definitely not for Mushroom Cap.

Oh, but this guy's still his elder, isn't he? Minato should show some modicum of manners. ]

I'm Koromaru.

[ordimame]

[like. . . tiger-wolf?? that seems like a thing a teen would name themselves]

Oh. Koro for short? Koro-kun. . . [nods!] A solid choice.

[not that Minato needed this guy's input]

[memori3s]

[ Enough. ]

Yes.

[ ... ]

It's my friend's name. I think he'd understand me borrowing it.

[ It's ok he can narc on Koro-chan's name because SURELY THE DOG WILL NOT SHOW UP AS A STUDENT TOO -- ]

[ordimame]

[NOBODY WILL APP KOROMARU]

[smiling, though!]

I think he would, too. He might even be honored, in a way.

[memori3s]

[ You don't know that, Al. ]

Honored?

[ Honored that he misses him? ]

[ordimame]

[show me a single Koromaru account I dare you]

Yeah! That you respect him enough to use his name. Or. . . maybe I'm just reaching. . .?

[memori3s]

[ BEHOLD!! I HAVE LOCATED TWO!! ]

Oh.

[ ...yeah, that might be it. ]

That's true. I could always count on him.

[ He's smiling... How can you not when thinking of Koro-chan! ]

[ordimame]

[LOSING MY FUCKIN' MIND, NOT ONE BUT TWO???]

It's nice to meet you, Koro-kun. [. . .] Your class made it out okay, right?

[he heard from the others that red homeroom found the key]

[memori3s]

[ TWO OF THEM. ]

Yes.

[ ...well. ]

We did, but --

[ He glances down at the wrapped injury on his arm, and the dried blood from his ears is still visible and smeared on his face. On the other hand, they'd made it out in better shape than some of the other groups... ]

[ordimame]

[sheds real tears for Koromaru the best boy]

. . . yeah. Not unscathed.

[a pause]

You look like you're handling your injury pretty well, though. Do you want some help in bandaging it up?

[memori3s]

[ He's mostly patched himself up, but he supposes his temporary bandages could be tied a little tighter on his arm. ]

Can you redo the knot here? You can probably make it tighter than what I did...

[ordimame]

Oh, yeah-- sure.

[scoots closer, reaching out to undo the knot this guy had tied earlier, re-wrapping the makeshift bandages so it lays a little more flat and comfortable against the injury]

. . . those strings were so sharp I feel pretty lucky that I didn't lose an entire limb.

[memori3s]

[ Mushroom-san's comment gets a simple nod from Minato. But as he rewraps the bandage, he might begin to feel a little more tired from absorbing weariness other than his own. ]

I guess... something like that could happen again, though.

[ He glances down to inspect the bandage. Definitely better than what he had before. ]

Thanks.

[ordimame]

[. . . it could, couldn't it? that statement gives him pause]

. . . I like to think we'll get out of here before it does.

[memori3s]

[ That would be nice, wouldn't it? ]

So you'll be looking around after some rest?

[ordimame]

[hahaha. . .]

As long as it's safe. It's not like sitting around and doing nothing is going to get me anywhere.

[memori3s]

[ Wow look at this go-getter, ]

You should find someone to go with you.

[ Not him, apparently. ]

...walking around alone feels unsafe here.

[ordimame]

That much is a given.

[he likes to think he is pretty good at taking care of himself. . . but that pertains only to the real world. not a world filled with horrors he never thought he would experience]

What are you going to do? Stick around with the other members of your class?

[memori3s]

[ A nod. ]

Yes. For now.

[ He casts a glance at the others still licking their wounds. ]

...I want to make sure they're okay.

[ordimame]

[. . . a good kid. . .][a nod!!]

But I'm sure there's only so much of my fussing that you're willing to tolerate.

[memori3s]

I don't really mind.

[ Doesn't really mind much of anything, honestly... ]
