YUYA SAKAKI UN: FUNDIRECTION

STATUS: Student Grade 9

ACCOLADES: (Here is a list of leading roles Yuya's has in school theater performances over the past two years, plus a glowing review of his familiar Odd-Eyes)

BIO: Hello! You can call me Yuya. I'm from Sendai, Japan. This is my second year in Daybreak Academy. I'm a Tamer, and Odd-Eyes is my familiar. He's the big red dragon that hangs out in the courtyards. He's friendly but he tries to steal food sometimes. I speak Japanese and English but not very good French. I'm also in the theater club. I'm in Lumiere 203. Let's be friends!

[Yuya glances sideways to Gon, before gently nudging him with his elbow.] But you have to stay awake until we get there, okay?

[betheman]

AUHHH...

[OKAY, lifting his head,] Y...yes...I shall remain awake...

[It's hard tho,]

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya's a little worried he's going to pass out at the actual cafe. He can't carry him back if he's out cold.

Yuya leans forward a little in his seat.] Did you have fun at truth or dare?

[betheman]

Mnhh...you mean...before the weekend? [He asks, blinking blearily.] ...Mnh, it was nice- I, the man Gongenzaka, was presented with...erm...

A 'voltrawr'?

[hippocarnival]

Voltrawr...? What's that? Did you take a picture? [Fill him in with some context, here!

Yuya's glad to hear he liked it, though. Yuya knows dragging him out at that time wasn't ideal, but with the kind of moon coming up... well, he could stand to let loose and remember that he's not a pariah to the entire student body because he's a bear.]

[betheman]

Sadly...I did not. [Damn.]

Auh...Peter as well, dared for me to act as a chair for a time, [He notes dimly.] ...It did not seem much as a dare, but it was nice at least.

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya leans back in his seat, tilting his head.] You mean... he sat in your lap?

[What the hell did he miss.]

[betheman]

No, I was told to 'flop down', and then let him sit against me.

You have done that yourself, you know..! [He snorts, raising his brows. Don't you go making faces about Peter, you're just as silly!]

[hippocarnival]

[But he's never sat in his lap!!]

Oh. [Yuya relaxes immediately on the realization that there wasn't something going on between them, his face twisting into a smile.] I mean, you're so big and warm it's hard to help myself!

[betheman]

Perhaps that was his own thinking? [He shrugs.] At the least, it made for a good conversation I feel.

[hippocarnival]

I'm glad! [Yuya's smile is much more enthusiastic with that slightly jealous worry soothed.]

You talked to Orihime about your suit to the dance too, right?

[betheman]

Mnm-!

Auh-

[And that's about where he freezes. And a whole lot of things come back...

...And Gongenzaka deflates to a state not unlike mere days ago.] ...I...

...It did not go well, unfortunately.

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya's smiles slowly drops. He hadn't expected any conflict to come up between Orihime and Gongenzaka, of all people.] What happened?

[betheman]

...We were to shop together, with another...and...Toki, as it seemed, was the other...

[He stares toward the floor, quiet.] ...I, the man Gongenzaka, shamefully acted as if I were not one he knew, as he did not recognize me at first...but when he did, he cried, and shouted, until he could no longer breathe.

...Orihime-san...carried him to the infirmary, and insisted upon doing so alone. ...In case he awoke, and saw me again.

[....ah.]

[hippocarnival]

[... Ah. It was Toki. Yuya chews his lip, brow furrowing as he recalls how badly Toki handled even asking about Gon's lycanthropy that night. Evidently that wasn't a one time thing.]

I'm sorry. [Yuya reaches to put his hand over Gon's, reassuring.] It's... you've never had someone react this badly before. I don't really know what to do, either.

[betheman]

[There is a mute nod- and slowly, he turns.] ...He is...

...He is seeing someone, yes? ...if this is how he reacts to myself...

...I am not the only lycan, here...

[hippocarnival]

I... don't know. [It's true though that Gon is far from the only lycan, and what are they going to do if Toki is devolving into screams when faced with any other student of faculty?] He said before he didn't want to talk about it, when I told him about the counselors. I don't think he's really let it out at all?

[betheman]

Mng...not at all..?! That...

Surely, he does not believe that can last..!

[hippocarnival]

It happened recently, I think? So maybe it's still hard, but... [Yuya rubs the back of his neck, uncertain.]

It has to be really hurting him inside, and... he needs help dealing with it.

[Yuya's been in a state of needing that help, and he'll always advocate what really did make a difference for him in the long run.]

[betheman]

...perhaps you can ask?

[hippocarnival]

I tried to. But maybe I should try when he's a little calmer. [Maybe immediately after a second freakout isn't the best time to advise someone to get come therapy.]

Is Orihime still going to make you a suit?

[betheman]

By now, it has been a few days at least...more than that however, if he is still in that state by February...

Auh. [He pauses, and jumps.] Auh...s..suit or no suit Yuuya, that is not the primary concern! [He lowers his voice to a whisper.] Yuuya...apparently, the seers foresaw an attack upon the ball...it is continuing, so that we can have the advantage...

But it is still a serious matter...!

[hippocarnival]

Eh? [Yuya leans in closer to hear his whispering, lowering his voice in turn. He doesn't know why they're whispering because they're alone in the bus to Soleil, but that's how it's going now.]

It's getting attacked this year? [Yuya pauses.] But if the dance is still going on, it means they didn't see anything too terrible happening, right?

[betheman]

No- what it means is that it is better for us to know what is coming, than to allow them to replan and strike unexpectedly.

The dance will be attacked by daemons- and we must be ready...and more than that, we cannot risk faltering or entering shock to that extent.

[And look the bus driver counts as another person Yuuya.]

[hippocarnival]

[The bus driver has probably been through enough attacks working for the school.]

But it's not just a trap, right? There's still going to be the actual dance? [He's pretty sure the seers wouldn't endanger them with a dance if they thought this attack was something they wouldn't be able to handle.] Are they going to announce something?
