June 11th 1999 - After School

[fortunatetoaster]

[ It's a hot Friday afternoon in June, and there's nothing particularly unusual going on in the clubroom today.

... which isn't much of an introduction, but it's the truth.

and of course, you can bet your behinds that Prez isn't going to have this. She lets the usual chatter stretch out for a little while before finally taking her place at the head of the room and slapping a hand down on the teacher's podium. ]

... alright! I--I'm callin' an official uh-- hearing...? -- m--meetin' to order! Y'hear me?

[Hiroshi sighs.]

She has been boy-crazy as long as I can remember. I would have been rather surprised if she had been truthful. But do you know why she would have put on such a ridiculous show?

[independent_dollmaker]

It all got a bit out of hand, but originally it was because she thought I fancy Nui.

[all_onis_are_true]

[Ah?]

Interesting. Any idea where she would have picked up such a notion?

[independent_dollmaker]

[Awkward pause as Alice estimates how reliable of a friend Hiroshi has been to her over the past few weeks.]

...Probably because it's true.

[all_onis_are_true]

[...Well. He wasn't expecting THAT answer.]

So her prediction was actually correct for a change? I see... Dare I ask how long?

[independent_dollmaker]

Oh, I don't know. It's not like it happened all at once.

I'd explain how this led to the scene back there, but I honestly couldn't begin to tell you.

[all_onis_are_true]

Knowing Minako, it is a long, awkward, and a failed attempt to try to get you to "reconcile with your feelings."

[He rubs his temples.]

I am sorry that it worked out this way. She is... forthright about what she believes in.

[independent_dollmaker]

Indeed.

You won't tell anyone about this, will you? Some people might find it... hard to understand.

[all_onis_are_true]

[He nods.]

I will admit I am rather surprised, but your romantic desires are hardly any of my own business. I certainly understand your reticence, however, all things considered.

[independent_dollmaker]

Thank you. I have enough to worry about without anyone spreading strange rumors.

[all_onis_are_true]

Yes, I would imagine you have your hands full with Minako as is. I sympathize.
