[Being seventeen really, really didn't feel all that much different from sixteen (especially when he hadn't really felt like he was sixteen in the first place). As birthdays went, it'd been better than others; at least here school had already started, and some people had ... wished him a happy birthday (a thing that didn't happen so much when you weren't in school). He was a little unhappy about Home Ec. not meeting today (for reasons that were probably obvious to everyone not him), but other than that, things were going well!

He figures he'll probably go get himself something sweet to celebrate later - maybe some ice cream or something. But for now, classes were over, the weekend was coming up, the gift Mom had said she was sending had arrived (and was safely stored in his room), and she'd added something else, too!

... unfortunately, one of the things Rion had not picked up on prior to coming to school was Triple Triad. Sure, his mom had sent him cards, but ... er, he had no idea what exactly to do with them. So if you don't mind he'll just be looking at these cards like they're written in Coptic or something.]

(ooc: we will pretend I did NOT post that into my journal at first. ¬_¬ AND THAT I KNOW HOW LOCATIONS WORK, GOD i am not good at writing posts on 20 hours of no sleep)

No problem. If nothing else, you can stick by me and I'll make sure no one tries to take advantage of the new kids.

[Not that Marco's a mind-reader, but he more or less was thinking the same thing and already promised Toby to watch out for him, even if that kid didn't realize completely.]

... hey, um. Can you tell me if any of these cards are good?

[He'll offer the cards out towards Marco to take a look; there should be one more, though. Huh. Strange.]

[Out of habit, starts organizing them by types and various classifications to explain them.]

You're one short of a deck though.

[One gets the impression that this may have been what he was upset about. He definitely avoids making eye contact as he writes - he's ashamed of himself, but doesn't see anything he could have done.]

My roommate took it.

[Arches eyebrow.] In a match already?

[... he shakes his head, then elaborates.]

No. He just took it.

[fierybluebird]

Why?

[derped.livejournal.com]

[... even less eye contact now. Rion doesn't seem to really want to talk about it, but feels ... kind of obligated to.]

Because he's a bully? I don't know.

Let's go. I'm in the Disciplinary Committee, we're getting it back.
