bad rap

The things we become known for aren’t always what we’d like to be known for. Reputations are hard to run from. Sometimes they’re not even deserved. So here’s your chance to set the record straight. Clear up some misplaced assumptions, debunk any rumours about yourself and defy your stereotypes.

how to play:

Top level with something(s) your character is tired of people assuming about them, blaming them for, or pigeonholing them about, etc. Say it in person or over text.

Comment on any surprising, or not so surprising declarations.

[kunimeh]

Having less energy than you doesn't automatically make me lazy or mean I don't care about whatever we're doing. I'm just tired.

[tigerpoet]

Please don't pay any mind to what people say. I know you're just as good a student as anyone else.

[kunimeh]

Ah, you just favour me, Nakajima-sensei. But it's okay, I don't mind being a teacher's pet this once.

[tigerpoet]

It is part of my job to give my students whatever they need to succeed in school. Even if that's a little extra attention.

[kunimeh]

And I'm just doing everything I can to succeed in your class, not taking advantage. Heheh.

[He's taking advantage a tiny bit. It's very doubtful that he'd shower a teacher who was equally attentive but not as pretty with half as much of his attention.]

[tigerpoet]

No one suggested that you might be, Kunimi.

[Pats him gently on the head... what a good student he is.]

[kunimeh]

I dunno, I think that might be another bad rap of mine, but I don't care.

Ah, that's relaxing, can you keep doing it?

[tigerpoet]

Of course. Just don't fall asleep on me.

[Pet, pet, pet.]

[kunimeh]

Hmph, no promises. But I'll try.

[He'll also lean right against Atsushi with a blissed out smile.]

[bluecastleace]

You ever been checked for an iron deficiency, kid?

[kunimeh]

... yeah, I've had chronic anemia my whole life. My body doesn't absorb some other thing that helps it absorb iron properly.

You're the second teammate literally ever to ask about it.

[bluecastleace]

Was the first one Kindaichi?

[He’s just guessing.]

[kunimeh]

Oikawa-senpai.

[If anyone understands how stealth thoughtful Oikawa can be, it's probably Iwaizumi. Most people laugh when Kunimi tries to convince them of it.]

[bluecastleace]

Ha.

[His laugh is no doubt a fond one. Of course it would be Oikawa.]

I should have known.

I hope that means you at least go to sleep at a decent time.

[kunimeh]

Mostly. Sometimes I nap too much and screw up my sleep but I can't get away with it since I started high school.

[bluecastleace]

What else did Oikawa say when you asked him? You don’t need to hear it twice.

[kunimeh]

Eh, he was mostly asking for his sake... to figure out how he could use me without running me ragged, y'know. Not so much giving advice.

[So if Iwaizumi wants to mom, he can mom away as far as Kunimi's concerned. It feels kinda nice, not lecturey and boring like admonishments to try harder.]

[love_the_smell]

People show their passion in different ways.

[kunimeh]

Yeah.

[Wait... she's really got a point there. More than he realizes at first.]

Yeah. Like - why would I still be there if I didn't care? And on an elite team where I'm gonna stand out no matter what? If I wanted to screw around I would've gone to Johzenji instead.

[love_the_smell]

[ Nemuri nodded. ]

It takes a lot to stay in an elite school. And you've said it yourself - you wouldn't be there if you didn't care.

That reminds me of my best friend. People think he's the most apathetic teacher... well, he sometimes does sleep in class... but he's even more of a workaholic than I am.

[kunimeh]

I've really gotta meet this guy sometime. He sounds cool as hell.

[Becuase Kunimi's apparently so similar to him? Yep, for that exact reason. Smartasses gonna smartass.]

[love_the_smell]

Does he?

You might not think so when you hear that he expels students at the drop of a hat.

[kunimeh]

Like... for fun? When he's in a bad mood?

[love_the_smell]

When students do something particularly stupid, or when he feels like they shouldn't be in the hero course.

[kunimeh]

Well, that seems... I mean, it's harsh. I don't think any of our clubs would have a single member if our coaches went by those rules.

But it's his right to make those calls, so I guess it's fair. Just seems dangerous to have that many half-qualified heroes walking around pissed off at him and way less actual heroes to handle it.
