[Those of you who know Japan or have seen him around Garden might have noticed how seriously he takes... everything. Class, training, cleaning, people running in the halls... So it's only natural to see him busy throughout the day!

A) You might spot him training with his katana. He seems quite skilled, even if he stops every so often to huff dramatically and mumble to himself about his 'old age.' How weird when he looks around 18...

B) Alternatively, he likes to spend whatever free time he has in the Quad. You can probably spot him with a notebook, watching some others occasionally and then writing-- no, sketching? Something. Wait, that looks inappropriate, doesn't it?! But if you walk close, he'll flip to the next page immediately and start drawing a rabbit. ...Yes, this happens no matter how many times you pass by. How suspicious.

C) Lastly, that same Japan from your classes that does all of his homework, answers questions correctly, stays quiet in class... Is on the disciplinary committee and will stop you in the hallway if you're running or anything... Well it sure sounds like his bag is meowing. Loudly. As he nervously looks around. INVESTIGATE?]

[Leans on his head. Hello. There's a pirate your head, you might want to get him off.]

I really wonder about this influx of cats. At this rate, they might as well remove the no pets rule, eh? [KNOWING SMIRK. Besides, despite being the oldest member of the D.C. (other than Seifer?) he kind of doesn't give a fuck about rules.]

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

Uwah--! [ABOUT TO JUMP TEN FEET-- but oh it's that Marco guy...]

...M-marco-san... I am not sure what you mean. [He's still trying to play it off, yup.]

[fierybluebird]

Oh, really? I guess you haven't spot any on your rounds then, eh.

[Casual as can be.]

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

Ah-- Oh... ...I have seen... some. One or two, perhaps... Ahh, my old memory...

[Grabs his head all dramatically like a phony... And then when the cat meows again he coughs. S-so smooth Japan.]

[fierybluebird]

[... Tries to be deadpan, but just bursts out laughing and then lightly shoves Japan (gently).]

Right. Just make sure they don't eat any of the birds on campus.

[flirtninja.livejournal.com]

Hm. I haven't seen anyone else who favored that style of swords around here. I was beginning to think I was the only one.

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[He finishes whatever he was just doing and turns slowly to face the voice.]

...Ah, you have a katana as well? [He holds his own out curiously with both hands, examining it.] I would not fight any other way.

[Edge draws his two blades in his accustomed underhand grip, then rotates them to show them off. The one in his right hand seems to be made of pure sunlight; the one in his left, pure shadow.]

Murasame and Masamune. I got them off the Red Moon when my friends and I were up there, back on my world.

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

Uwah-- do you mean the legendary swords?!

[He's taking great interest in this, peering at them.]

A!

[It isn't often that Apollo wanders into the Training Center, after all; as the god of the plague and archery (among fifty million other things), he's had too much time to train. Still, when he sees Japan training like that? He has to stop and watch.]

Dude, you're seriously not one to talk about being old. [More amused than anything!]

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[He had been a little too focused on his technique, so Apollo's arrival startles him. But he just blinks over, looking a bit embarrassed.]

T-that, well... Considering the circumstances... Ah... [. . . defeated frown. this is like trying to convince China his back hurts...]

...Perhaps not.

[poetry-hero.livejournal.com]

You know I could just heal you if you're really in that much pain, right? [They didn't call him the God of Medicine for nothing! Apollo grins, folding his arms as he heads over]

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[He looks completely startled at that sort of thing. Oh, wow... But...]

...Ah, heal? It is-- ah, well, my high blood pressure isn't something that can simply vanish, is it...? [Not with the way he eats salt, he's thinking. But he eventually waves a hand.]

It is quite alright.

[Don't mind Botan, Japan. She's just a bit homesick, seeing such an influx of Japanese culture (even if from different worlds) that she's sitting several feet away, dawned out in her kimono, calmly watching him practice and sipping tea.]

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[He finishes his last batch of moves on the creatures he was fighting and steps back before lowering his form with a tired sigh.]

Ah, how tiring... I am out of practice...

[He pauses when he notices Botan a bit away and stands up straight, looking to her.]

Greetings. [A semi-flustered bow. He hadn't seen her!]

[notaferry.livejournal.com]

Hello.

[She bows her head and smiles up at him, smothering a giggle.]

I wouldn't say out of practice -- perhaps just not used to the creatures of this world, hmm?

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[He sighs briefly.]

Yes, that may be one large factor. However, as a Japanese man, surely I can defeat even this trial!

B

[lefteros.livejournal.com]

[Just leaning over from where he's relaxing, to prod Japan's shoulder.]

I wish you'd let me look...

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[He just looks a little embarrassed, pausing from drawing the rabbit on this other page.]

...I am not so sure... It is rather, ah...

[lefteros.livejournal.com]

Rather what?

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[...Well, actually... It's Greece. So maybe... he'd find it okay. Yes actually, if anyone were to find it okay, it'd be Greece, right?

He'll flip back to the page he was on before. It's probably suggestive art (COUGH PORN) of... Anyone in the Garden really.]

B!

[bunnypassingby]

[Mikuru approaches with her ART 102 sketchbook in hand, having been practicing herself.]

Excuse me... What are you drawing?

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[FLIPS THAT PAGE SO FAST-- Oh an art sketchbook.]

...Ah, I cannot seem to decide. [sideglancing.] I enjoy drawing, so there are too many options...

[He pauses and starts sketching a rabbit.]

[bunnypassingby]

[Mikuru nods.] That's part of why I like ART 102: It gives me an idea to focus on.

[She studies the beginnings of his rabbit.]

I'm not as good as you, though. [Her tone is matter of fact, though the smile on her face is a little self deprecatory.]

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

Ah, there is no need for that sort of tone. I believe this sort of thing cannot be compared so simply.

[He pauses his drawing and looks to her.]

Would you be willing to share your art?
