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!

[Gongenzaka was perhaps a bad choice for examples, if Yuya's expression is anything to go by.]

They're... getting clearer half the time, and sometimes, like maybe twice so far, I haven't lost the connection with the present? I saw things at the same time as being aware of what's going on here too. One time at prom, and one time before then, when I went shopping with Jolyne. It hasn't happened again since. But there's not as much symbolism in some of them? I can recognize people and places and it's not always frightening and flashy and like, incomprehensible.

[He eyes the jewelry box.]

And that's another reason. That little bit of clarity sometimes. Because orichalcum screwed everything up for me for a long time, and I don't know if the risks really outweigh a few hours of... peace.

[hippocarnival]

That's good. But I meant things like having seizures and passing out, too.

[Like when he tragically gets a bunch at once. He's expressed his concerns having those reactions in public before, and Yuya can agree with that.]

[yokeye]

Oh! Well... Not really. I mean, I haven't had convulsions since I started taking medication for it, but it would probably still happen otherwise... and I, yes, I still.. pass out after like having too many in a short time span.

[He'd had three when Adelaide came to visit him in the hospital, and that happened. He wonders if he should mention what else happened, with the cookie. Yuya's always so concerned, but he should know.]

I uhh... When Adelaide came to see me, she brought cookies and I had a vision while eating one and I choked on it. And I hurt Jolyne because of another vision. And I still react to them sometimes before I can stop, like screaming or something physical...

[Uhh. Nothing was a good decision here.]

I don't know what to do.

[He slumps down in his chair.]

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya rolls his eyes to stare at the opposite wall.]

You might have a reaction even from a little orichalcum, right? So it might not even be an option in the long run.

[That seems like the first thing they should figure out, before hypotheticals when it's the best time to use it.]

[yokeye]

That's true.

[He's gone from impulsively deciding things on the spot to not being able to make a decision at all.]

I guess I should just try it a couple of times and see what happens...

[hippocarnival]

You don't have to start with trying it all day, right? You can just wear it a few hours. [Or less, if he starts to blister or something.

It's at that point that Kuroko stands up and stretches. Yuya hisses as her claws briefly dig into him before she hops down.]

[yokeye]

Yeah, that's... That's what I was planning to do, but then I had second thoughts.

[Toki grabs one of the cat toys off his desk to toss at Kuroko once she makes it to the floor. She bats the mouse around and will likely get it lost under the dresser again.]

And I wanted to ask if like anything happened with the gold eyes. Did they mean something?

[hippocarnival]

I don't know. [He rolls over onto his stomach.] I haven't met anyone with gold eyes, so maybe it still hasn't happened?

[yokeye]

I guess not. I'll let you know if anything I see might have to do with it. I haven't seen you in a vision for a while, but that doesn't really mean anything. But you're okay?

[As expected, Kuroko has managed to lose the toy under the dresser. Toki throws another one to her.]

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya folds his arms under his head.] Yeah, I'm okay. There's nothing to worry about.

[... For now.]

[yokeye]

Okay!

[He shoves the jewelry box in his desk drawer. He'll start small, but he doesn't need to use the orichalcum today. He stands up, taking a small notebook from his desk, and shoving it into the nearby cat backpack.]

I have some things to paint, but I'll be back later~!

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya waves him off, even if he stares at the cat backpack for a second too long. Still weird, but he can't say entirely unjustified.]
