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!

[Nekano will find the wallet in that drawer if he can get it open. Toki, however, pays no mind to the paper Yuya has. If he'd seen it, he may have something to say, but he hasn't and probably won't. Instead, he wanders over to the desk to pet the new cat.]

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya turns the paper in multiple directions, before crumpling it up and tossing it to the trashcan.

He misses and it bounces off the rim to the floor instead. He picks up Kuroko when her tail starts swishing.] They look well fed, right? It must be someone's pet... is there a name on the collar?

[suddenlybees]

[ He can't get the drawer open, which is just as well because if he did, he'd be tempted to shut himself inside to escape Toki's reaching hands. Kuroko has way more patience than he ever has with other people, ducking out of the way when Toki approaches and threads himself between Yuya's legs to avoid him too, before finally setting down underneath one of the beds. He lets his head poke out, and also his paws for easy swiping. The collar doesn't seem to have a tag on it... It also doesn't look like a plain collar, there's some sort of metal contraption on the front, no name to be found. ]

[yokeye]

[Toki's not surprised at Nekano's reaction. Kuroko didn't like him much to start with either. He doesn't make a second attempt to touch the cat and will let Yuya deal with it.]

I didn't get a good look at the collar!

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya sets Kuroko up on his bed before creeping close to try and look at the collar himself.]

No name...? I wonder where he came from.

[yokeye]

[Toki has one theory. He opens the door and shouts down the hallway at the guards.]

Do any of you have a black cat!?

[The response is along the lines of "that's your cat, you idiot". Toki slams the door shut.]

It's not theirs!

[suddenlybees]

[ cries about his friends being so stupid

He misses his chance to escape out the door when Toki opens it, but he can't give up on them while in the same breath hoping they don't give up on him— or more specifically, "it." He trots out from underneath the bed and bounds over to the trashcan, batting at the crumpled up piece of paper. ]

[hippocarnival]

[Kuroko hops down, making her way to Kano and the paper curiously. She probably thinks that looks like a fun toy, too.

Yuya rubs the back of his neck.] Well... let's wait a bit and see if anyone asks around for one. It'll be okay here.

[yokeye]

Okay! Maybe we can send out a message on the network later!

[Toki grabs a couple of catnip mice from his desk and tosses them at Kuroko and Nekano. That should keep them occupied.]

Anyway! I have things to do~!

[He gathers some headphones and a notebook, then climbs up into his loft. He's not going to listen to music, but he has to look like he's doing something besides drawing eyes on the wall and the ceiling.]

[suddenlybees]

[ Nekano picks up the wad of paper in his mouth before it can get torn up by Kuroko, and leaps up onto the top bunk with Toki instead of playing with the mice. Codes can wait for a bit; he's curious about what these "things to do" are, what Toki writes in his notebook if not jotting something down seconds after convulsing, and whether his taste in music is any good. ]

[hippocarnival]

[Aw... Yuya smiles.] Looks like you've made a friend now.

[Toki's not usually so good with animals. Yuya grabs one of the mice to distract Kuroko with it, dancing it in the air for her.]

[yokeye]

Hello~!

[Toki avoids petting the cat this time, but lets Nekano hang out. He leaves the headphones and notebook to one side, opting to draw on the wall instead. He starts to make an outline of an eye, but the pen ends up making a sharp and jagged line down the wall instead as he gets a vision...

He's in Valvatorez's office, alone. Slowly walking by the bookshelves. The title of every book he passes, no matter the thickness or age, is "History of Vampires". As he passes the fish tank, all the sardines change color rapidly, like blinking neon signs.He sits at the desk and opens a drawer. Inside is a picture frame, but no image in it. Setting it on the desk, he opens a second drawer. It's full of locks of pink hair, twisted around fish-shaped hair combs. He closes the drawer and the picture frame on the desk now has something inside. A painting, small and detailed. It's Valvatorez sitting in a high-backed red velvet chair, like he's posing for a portrait. In one hand, he holds a green mask shaped like a moth, only its markings are fish eyes. In the crook of his other arm, Valvatorez holds several cat-sized sardines. They all have the hilts of daggers coming out of their mouths. Their eyes blink in neon colors like the sardines across the room in the tank. The painting of Valvatorez laughs and blood drips down from the edges of the frame.

... Kano now gets to see where some of the scratching marks on the bed rail and the wall come from; there's not a lot of space up here for uncontrolled rapid movements.]

[suddenlybees]

[ Nekano starts yowling as soon as Toki jerks, hissing and spitting to get Yuya's attention because he'd be much better equipped to handle this than him, a stupid cat who thinks keeping his disguise is worth more than helping a friend out. This is what service animals are trained to do, anyways... get somebody's attention the moment a seizure happens. Yuya, help. ]

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya looks up, waiting and watching for a moment beforehe drops the mouse and makes his way to Toki's bed.

He reaches for his arm to hold it down, lest he try and claw his eye out again and otherwise just waits it out.]

[yokeye]

[When the vision ends, Toki dismisses it as being unimportant. Yuya worries too much.]

I'm fine! It was about Valvatorez and not the eyes! It wasn't even scary, just weird! I'm not going to... not again, I promise.

[If Yuya ever ventured up into the loft, he certainly wouldn't believe that.]

[suddenlybees]

[ Not what again... Nekano growls under his breath and lightly pats the side of of Toki's face with a paw. Stupid, stupid. He's going to figure out a way to fix this; he's already got two plans to put into motion. ]

[hippocarnival]

... Okay. [There's still a little worry in Yuya's in his expression as he smiles, squeezing gently in affirmation before he pulls his hand away.]

Did you hear from Professor Jailbreak?

[yokeye]

[This cat is absolutely adorable. Toki attempts to pet it again.]

Yeah, I talked to her! She thinks there's no daemon looking through my eye or anything and the visions are unrelated to the contract! She's trying to teach me how to like activate my power when I want to and see through illusions; that's what she does a lot of! Like looking at an object and seeing it's "true nature"! She also um... Well, we have a lot of things in common!

[He doesn't want to tell Yuya that Jail writes weird incoherent notes too, that her lungs are dying due to her abilities, or that she's been seeing the same pair of eyes.]

[suddenlybees]

[ Haha... seeing through illusions... Time to jet, Nekano decides, ducking out of the way of Toki's hand and leaping off the bed. He makes sure to flatten the piece of paper on his way out, so that the code is visible and maybe the janitor will be able to solve it when he empties the trash can. ]

[hippocarnival]

[Tragically the door is still closed.]

That's really good th--whoa! [Cats can land on their feet, but Yuya still reaches out on reflex to grab Nekano as he leaps. Hope that doesn't knock his trajectory too far off.]

[yokeye]

He doesn't like to be touched, I guess! Sorry, cat!

[He adds a hissing cat to his wall drawings instead of more eyes. Nekano's going to have to be more direct for them to get anywhere.]

[suddenlybees]

[ It's so stupid that they leave the door unlocked but keep it closed, how is he supposed to escape like this—- Yuya making the grab for him fortunately doesn't startle Nekano out of the illusion, and he's able to numb himself quick enough to make the landing, too. Man, his ankle's going to be swollen twice its size later, maybe, but that's okay, as long as he can keep the magic going.

He hisses again, and bats the paper towards Yuya's feet. ]

[hippocarnival]

Sorry! [Yuya jerks his hands back, quickly checking them for scratches.

He crouches down, very slowly reaching for the paper. Doooon't scratch him.] Has anyone asked about a lost pet yet?

[yokeye]

I don't know!

[Toki leaves his drawings for a later time and climbs down from the loft to get his phone from the desk. He scrolls through recent network posts, but finds nothing on lost pets.]

Nothing on the network!

[The cat's starting to look suspicious. It obviously belongs to somebody, since it has a collar, but who? And why is it here?]

[suddenlybees]

[ There are no scratches on Yuya's hand, and though Nekano makes one last swipe at him after he takes the paper, his claws aren't even out and his paws don't come close to reaching Yuya's hand. It's just a warning, mostly: no touchey.

Satisfied with that much, Nekano goes to leap onto Toki's desk, standing still and straight like he can telepathically beam into Toki's head that this would be the perfect photo op!!!!! There is probably all of two people who would recognize Nekano if posted onto the network, one of whom wouldn't be helpful in this instance and the other... a little less unhelpful and would probably raise a fuss about the cat being a pet, but whatever. ]
