[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?]

[Success! Apollo pumps his fist before pulling out a mini crossbow from his sleeve. It's not as sophisticated or strong as his typical weapon'd be, but it'll do for the moment.]

Awesome! I would've actually fought alongside you whether or not you'd agree.

[Apparently questions are formalities now.]

Ah, I see. [Japan's on the receiving end of this a lot... Anyway that crossbow gets his attention.]

That sort of weapon... How fascinating. I can't wait to see it in use. [He'll move his sword into a ready position and glance from Apollo to the Grats.]

[He grins, holding it tightly in his hands before practicing and shooting an arrow at a Grat. As expected for him, one arrow's all it takes to kill it.] You too. It's been forever since I've seen a katana in battle!

[Mainly because none of the demigods prefer it - they're all into pens-that-turn-into-swords. Kids these days!]

[He looks quite excited at Apollo's display. Arrows... Yes, he used to shoot those, himself. But for now, his katana was well enough. His smile turns into a calm one-- and then he looks serious.

Yes, Japan makes super serious faces always though, so this is obvious.]

Ah, what a shame... I enjoy this type of sword very much. [There's a pause, and then he moves for a Grat, swinging his blade with practiced skill. It doesn't take him long at all to cut it down. 2,000+ years of practice isn't shabby...]

[Apollo can't help clapping before he takes his turn and attacks another with his arrow. Maybe he should try fighting these things with his bare hands one of these days...] Can't blame you, since you're doing so well with it.

Apollo-san is too kind. [He watches with great interest as Apollo fires another arrow.]

Ah, I once used a bow and arrow... But I could never be quite so skilled. And though I have years and years of practice with my katana... [He'll take his turn now, spinning to slash at a Grat.] I am certain I could not match up to Apollo-san.

[What a suck up wow]

[His ego probably can't handle all of these compliments... ;; It's official: Japan is his favorite person here.]

Probably not, but hey! I think I can give you tons of points for trying.

[Soon his head won't fit through doors... But Japan has an ego too, underneath the polite. He sideglances at that easy acceptance but okay he can let that slide.]

Fighting alongside one another in such a way is nice, at least. Ah, perhaps we should do this on more than one occasion.
