[Minato's sitting on the school nurse's bench, holding a cup of some green gooey liquid that smells awful. There's a sphygmomanometer on one of his arms, which the internet tells me is the actual name of that thing that doctors/nurses use to measure your blood pressure. Oh yeah, and his skin sparkles.]

But I don't feel sick.

[He hesitates before downing the questionable liquid as fast as possible, a shiver of yuck zipping through his body. Alas, chugging the probably-not-actually-qualified-to-be-a-nurse's concoction was futile, and he is still sparkling.]

...Well that's...different.

I take it this isn't normal for you?

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

It isn't.

[allthesethrees.livejournal.com]

That's why you're drinking this stuff? [Picks up the cup and sniffs at it. Then promptly makes a face.] Holy shit.

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

The nurse gave it to me.

[allthesethrees.livejournal.com]

Are you sure she wasn't trying to kill you or something? This smells like poison that was left in a broken refrigerator for about a year, next to the rotting cabbage.

His other cures aren't any better.

[allthesethrees.livejournal.com]

His. Hm. Well you know, you could just...I dunno, take real medicine. Not that it's any better. Well, I don't think they make an anti-sparkle pill. Not yet, anyway.

Oh. [Badge flash!] Agent Creegan. David Creegan.

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

I'm at school.

A cop?

[allthesethrees.livejournal.com]

Ah. Huh. How are the kids and faculty reacting?

Sorta. OSC agent, actually. FBI.

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

They stare.

... Okay.

[allthesethrees.livejournal.com]

Well, if it looks like they're gonna do anything bad, you let me know, alright?

Oh, right, yeah--never did ask your name. So what's your name?

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

They won't.

Minato Arisato.

[allthesethrees.livejournal.com]

Alright, good.

Minato Arisato. Nice to meet you, Minato.

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

[Nods at the greeting.]

[allthesethrees.livejournal.com]

[Stares at him a moment before smiling.] Not much of a talker, are you?

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

I guess not.

[allthesethrees.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well. Silence is a virtue and all that.

So, but, you're a student right? Japan?

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[allthesethrees.livejournal.com]

Yeah? What's that like?

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

... It's like going to school.
