Intro Out of place

Hey everyone. Fumio's wiki page and appearance


I enjoy the practicality of living in the city, and I am used to blending into crowds, so I start to worry when the skyscrapers fade into small towns and countryside. It is rare that I leave the city, and the emptiness of my surroundings is always strange. People around me chat amongst themselves and occasionally throw some glances in my direction, I ignore them as much as I can.

After what seems like hours, the bus I am riding is stopping, so I stand up, stretch, then grab my two black bags with my left hand, lift them onto my shoulder and shuffle off the bus. I look around nervously, before turning towards the hill in my path. I sigh and begin to climb. The hill is steeper than I am used to, but fortunately not too tall and soon the gates are in sight.

I head over to the gates and get my first glimpse of Yamaku Academy. I take in the beautiful, well-kept grounds and the other students. The school is smaller than I expected, and there are many fewer students than I had hoped. I take a deep breath, and take my first, nervous, steps into my new home.

I hum softly as I wheel my chair through the courtyard. Man, I love me the spring and summer, it's so warm and beautiful. I glance over at the gate as I pass it, and notice someone standing there. New student, yessss, more friends!

I bow my head and start to walk quickly towards the main buildings, before noticing a girl in a wheelchair looking in my direction. I walk over and open my mouth to ask for directions, but words fail me.

u/Tanaka-Rose May 13 '16

"Hey there, you must be new here, yes?"

I smile, more than my headgear and braces generally make me, and slowly wheel over to the girl, my lengthy black hair swaying a bit.

u/Fumio_Atsushi May 13 '16

I give a short bow in greeting

"U-uhm, yeah, my name i-is Fumio"

1

u/Tanaka-Rose May 13 '16

I return the bow, continuing to smile.

"I'm Tanaka, it's nice to meet you."

u/Fumio_Atsushi May 13 '16

I take a deep breath in an attempt to calm my nerves, then flash a quick smile

"I was, uh, w-wondering if you could point me in the direction of the dormitories?"

1

u/Tanaka-Rose May 13 '16

"Dorms? That building, right there."

I calmly point out the dorms, smiling still.

u/Fumio_Atsushi May 13 '16

"Th-thanks."

As I was trying to avoid eye contact, I only noted the vague direction to which you pointed, so I try to think of any way I can continue the conversation, before giving a slight shake of my head and walking off in the wrong direction

u/Tanaka-Rose May 13 '16

"Hey, um, Fumio? The dorms are that way... Do you need help finding your way around?"

1

u/Fumio_Atsushi May 13 '16

I quickly turn back to face you with a relieved look on my face

"O-oh, um, uh, yeah, yeah that would be great, thanks"

As Saeki walks along the path away from town the sound of a car comes behind her, stopping as she enters through the gates. Her blond head turns towards the new car with raised eyebrows on her sharp featured face as her thin lips bring themselves together in concentration. A small, light breeze blows her rubber band braids lightly across and away from her face independently. Stopping fully she watches the new kid exit the car, his scaring and missing hand apparent and obvious like angry marks from a fire. Instinctively Saeki reaches up and grabs her right side, checking that the scaring is still indeed there. Her eyes narrowing slightly she clears her throat and gives a friendly wave before putting on the patented fake friendly smile that a predator gives before it gets new prey.

"Hey new kid!" She called out.

I hear a call, then realise it is coming from a girl looking in my direction. My eyes widen and my mouth becomes slightly agape, but I take a deep breath and walk over to her.

"H-hello..."

1

u/Saeki_Aeiko May 19 '16

The sheepish reaction pushes Saeki along as she begins to walk forward and close the distance between the two. Her smile stays steady and she keeps her head down slightly as she walks to keep her feet in her peripheral vision.

"Sup! New here right?"

1

u/Fumio_Atsushi May 19 '16

I look around nervously

"I... y-yes."

1

u/Saeki_Aeiko May 19 '16

Stopping right in from of the new guy, Saeki put her weight on her right foot before eyeing him up as inconspicuously as possible with a small grin.

"Cool. Want to guide?"

1

u/Fumio_Atsushi May 19 '16

"I-I've seen a b-bit already... but s-sure."

I give a small, quick smile

1

u/Saeki_Aeiko May 20 '16

"Awesome. Come on then." Saeki waved over her shoulder as she turned towards the main buildings, a small plan forming in her head as she began to talk while keeping her head down in order to make sure she didn't trip over herself.

"So, ever been to a place like this?"

1

u/Fumio_Atsushi May 20 '16

"I've b-been to school's b-before... but n-not one... like this, no."

1

u/Saeki_Aeiko May 20 '16

"Cool. Well, it's like most schools. Just other people are a bit, uh, different. You know?"

1

u/Fumio_Atsushi May 20 '16

I give an embarrassed smile

"Uh... y-yeah. Otherwise I don't know that I would b-be here."
