[Murasa's not a troublemaker, per se, she just... tends to make trouble. sometimes. sort of. look, being an honor student is for chumps, alright? and Murasa's not about to waste her teenage years being a NERD.

she'd been booted from the water polo club weeks ago for her shitty academics. that's where the bulk of her schoolwide reputation comes from, sadly enough, so now most students know her as that former captain who needs after school tutoring. it's only funny because Murasa doesn't seem to care much, as long as she skates by on the minimum and eventually graduates.

life is an anime... or something!! something about hedonism, maybe? point being, Murasa gets her kicks out of being a shit when teachers look the other way.

for example, today she somehow managed to sneak a goat into the school and lead it into the student council room. it's eating all the paperwork jfc why is this happening—]

You have a job?

[ woops, didn't mean to sound so surprised about it. murasa isn't the slacker here... or is she. ]

... Wait, were you gonna sell off the goat?

[shipwrecking]

[she was actually referring to her weekly allowance but



yes, let's go with a job.......]

Uh, yeah, no, I work for my dad? And the goat's too important to sell.

[who knows when the goat will come in handy again??]

[ballot]

[ dragdragdrag. provided there aren't any impromptu goat sightings, it's through the school's front doors they go!

she frowns, glancing to her. ]

What's that? Is it your only friend? [ a completely serious, if likely condescending, question. ]

[shipwrecking]

I have friends...! Don't look down on me!

[she hangs out with a weird bunch of kids. modern AU Touhous. that enough should be a flashy warning sign.]

[ballot]

You make it hard not to...

[ is she done with the catiness? no? okay!! ]

I'm glad to hear you do, though! I wonder, what kind of people they are?

[shipwrecking]

More tolerable than you, that's for sure.

[naw they're all shitheads. including Murasa. birds of a feather flock together?!] Does that answer your question?

[ballot]

Soooo...

[ thinks on what that could possibly mean. ]

They're boring, in other words. [ boy, that couldn't be farther from accurate. ]

[shipwrecking]

Wrong! Totally wrong! Once time we accidentally set someone's lawn on fire! You can't say we're boring!

[but why tho]

[ballot]

You—

[ actually ALARMED?!?! she jostles murasa's arm in her grip. ]

You set a lawn on fire?!

[shipwrecking]

It was an accident! An accident! And no one got hurt!

[ballot]

[ hmmgnhh ]


[ ... ]

Then that doesn't make you not boring, that just makes you klutzy...!

[shipwrecking]

Whatever, it's better than being boring. [wow, she accepted it]

Unlike you.

[ballot]

[ NOT GOING TO ACCEPT IT ]

Hey...! I'm not klutzy! [ she is, actually, but she's going to deny everything anyway ]

[shipwrecking]

Then that just means you're boring. [HAH]

[ballot]

Boring cuz I'm not klutzy...?

[ oh look, the ramen shop! prez is going to continue to drag her inside, the little bell chiming as the door swings open, and hop right onto a stool at the serving counter. still not letting go, either, so that was a bit more difficult than it should have been. ]

I think I'm gonna invest in a leash...

[shipwrecking]

Whoaaaa, I'm not into that stuff. Sorry.

[or is she?? either way though... No. at least at this point she's kinda given up on shaking Prez loose (if she wants to trouble herself by holding onto Murass then like whatever) so that's some... sort of progress...]

[ballot]

Who said you were supposed to like it...?

[ orders some regular ol' pork ramen shit. she knows this place. ]

[shipwrecking]

...

Ah, I get it. You're a Sadist. [with a capital S.

she gets the shoyu ramen. Murasa actually wanted pork too but like she's gonna order the same thing as Prez...!]

[ballot]

Who said I was gonna like it—?

[shipwrecking]

You were the one who brought up the leash idea in the first place!!

[ballot]

Oh.

[ well murasa's not... wrong, technically ]

Well, I'm gonna like it that you won't be able to get away so easily, I guess...

[shipwrecking]

See? You're totally a sadist.

[ur gross.]

You're gross.

[ah, she said it out loud.]

[ballot]

[ dumb, pouty frown ]

... You're not very good at seeing things long-term, are you?

[shipwrecking]

I don't wanna get married??!

[who's the dumb one now. HAH no wait.]

[ballot]

[ asdfg ] Now you're being perverted about it?!
