[The video starts with a close up on Gamagori's face, glaring into the camera. He says nothing for a while, but when he does speak, it's loud enough you could probably mute the feed and still hear him fine.]

Whoever brought me here had better show themselves now! I cannot be away from Honnouji Academy, the Naturals Election is starting tomorrow, and I will not allow Lady Satsuki's faith in me to be broken! Show yourself, and I will not kill you. Prolong this, and I assure you, you will be begging for death by the time I'm done disciplining you!

[She shakes her head.]

No, nothing like that. It gives you a basic overview of the cities here, and it's got some money in there too. You'll need it in order to get yourself an apartment and something to eat.

[She kinda feels sorry for the big lug.]

I'm Yang, by the way.

[kiryuin_shield]

[He opens the pamphlet and squints at it. It takes him a moment to respond. Also, the reading has a vein in his neck throbbing a bit.]

Gamagori Ira.

[solar_flare]

Nice to meet you! I'll wait until you're done, if you have any other questions.

[kiryuin_shield]

[He reads it over, and when he gets to the part about the archway, he contacts Yang again.]

The way the pamphlet is worded, it sounds like the place these "archways" supposedly open are just imitations of the genuine article. Is that true?

[solar_flare]

Uh huh.

[She nods.]

It's not really a way to get back home, but it's useful if there's something you left behind that you really need, or can only get there.

[kiryuin_shield]

[He thinks for a moment. The only things in Honnouji Academy that would prove useful to him would be the Sewing Club's laboratory. However, without the Sewing Club to work the machines, that would be useless to him, and would only provide access to Life Fibers for everyone in the city. Can't have that.]

Hmm. In that case, I will not bother these... things.

[solar_flare]

Probably for the best!

[She rocks back on her heels.]

So where are you going to stay, got any place in mind?

[kiryuin_shield]

I will find something. Anything here will probably be a downgrade, but I will make do.

[solar_flare]

Downgrade? Are you rich where you come from?

[She wouldn't have guessed that. Maybe he made millions of dollars endorsing steroids or something.]

[kiryuin_shield]

Lady Satsuki provides living arrangements for every student in Honnouji Academy based on their ranking.

[He points to the three stars on his collar.]

I am one of four students to achieve a 3-Star Uniform.

1/2

[solar_flare]

One of the top, huh? That's pretty cool--

[RECORD SCRATCH.]

2/2

[solar_flare]

YOU'RE A STUDENT?!?!

[kiryuin_shield]

[He just stares for a bit.]

OF COURSE I AM!

[solar_flare]

But you're like THIRTY!

[kiryuin_shield]

I'M TWENTY!

[solar_flare]

Right, and I'm a fairy princess.

Seriously, how old are you?

[kiryuin_shield]

I turned twenty two weeks ago.

[solar_flare]

[Yang squiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiints at him. She's still heavily skeptical.]

......................................But you're huge.

[kiryuin_shield]

[He just pinches the bridge of his nose.]

I hit puberty early. I was six feet tall in Middle School.

[solar_flare]

Whoa.

[All right, she'll admit it. That's impressive! Wait, past tense...he WAS six feet? It's hard to tell how tall he is now, since she can only see his head and upper shoulders.]

How big are you now?

[kiryuin_shield]

[He shrugs a bit.]

When I was measured for my uniform, I was ten feet tall.

[solar_flare]

[Ten. Ten feet tall. That's a whole lot of man. If he actually smiled, he'd be downright handsome. Too bad he's a frowny clowny.]

Are you single?

[WHAT. She has to ask!]

[kiryuin_shield]

...I fail to see how that is relevant to anything.

[solar_flare]

[He's so coy, ho ho!]

No need to be shy about it. There's nothing to be ashamed of if you are!

[kiryuin_shield]

I have no time for such things.
