rose tint my world

[majorjealousy]

Who: Jin, anyone!
What: Starting to understand just what it is that makes Smash Academy so "special".
Where: Around campus
When: The week of June 11th. Lemme know when/where they meet up.
Warnings: That's up to you!


So, he was here.

As he wandered around the vibrant green courtyard, soft breeze blowing through the trees, hands behind his back, Jin could only think one thing.

Shit.

In his haste, he had taken the first opportunity that had become available to him. Sure, he needed to get out of Ikaruga after his encounter with Ragna, and he needed to do it fast. Perhaps there were other things he could have done than become a teacher in a school full of misplaced freaks, though. He would never know at this point.

So, if you see a thin man with shaggy blonde hair and soft features wandering through your area of the school this week, feel free to introduce yourself. Give him a good old fashioned Smash Academy welcome.

After all, Jin had committed quite a few things that could be considered sins in his life so far. And hell is other people, right?

"I do," was the simple reply. "I made a habit of collecting them."

[obfuskate]

"... 'Collecting' them?"

Oh, you had his undivided attention, Jin. Shadow faced him, inquisitive eyes peering up at him. His ear gave a subtle twitch, both from curiosity and a mosquito that dared to hover within his vicinity.

"How many could you possibly have?"

[majorjealousy]

Jin twisted his mouth to the side.

"None, now. Perhaps I need to start again."

[obfuskate]

"... Perhaps."

Shadow lowered his eyes back down to the bike, taking in every contour with a flick of his tail and maybe even a twitch of his nose or two.

"I plan on getting one, one day. One even better than this one."

He'd make sure of it.

[majorjealousy]

Jin brought a hand up to his chin in a thoughtful sort of motion.

"Would it be human sized?"

The question was posed with no note of sarcasm. Dry as the desert.

[obfuskate]

"... What do you think?"

Shadow glared at him, the look on his face evident to his thoughts:

You are stupid and you should feel stupid, OF COURSE IT ISN'T HUMAN-SIZED YOU NINNY.

[majorjealousy]

His eyes flicked back to the bike.

"I wasn't aware they made motorcycles that size."

[obfuskate]

"... This academy is filled with different creatures, and yet you never made that guess?"

Stare.

... This school was full of idiots.

[majorjealousy]

"I've never met a Beastkind with a fondness towards automobiles like yours."

[obfuskate]

"It is not as uncommon as you think."

Shadow eyed the motorcycle for a moment more before deciding, "... I haven't had much use for these paychecks of mine. Perhaps, not until now."

Yes, maybe that's what he should do. A motorbike, all for himself...

He lightly smirked. Ah, how exciting.

[majorjealousy]

Jin raked a hand through his hair, masking a small, quiet tsk.

"As if a salary as meager as this school offers could afford anything worthwhile."

[obfuskate]

"Tch. You would be surprised at what I could maintain."

Shadow would make this bike fucking amazing. Pure, raw horsepower, strong and mighty, with a sturdy layout to handle it, heavy-duty wheels able to handle even the most rugged terrain, a stylish, grim design, a killer hum...

His tail began to flip around. He needed to do this. He never thought it would be this exciting.

[majorjealousy]

Jin watched the hedgehog fall into his fantasy for a moment before a light sigh escaped his lips.

"Alright. I'll be seeing your motorcycle in the parking lot soon then." He spun on his heel to leave.

[obfuskate]

"Absolutely."

He remained there, not even turning his head to watch Jin leave.

Yes... soon. Soon, a motorcycle even lovelier than this one will be his. Shadow will make sure of that.
