"Haven't had a run-in with the stuff, and I'm already not a fan." Reno stuck out his tongue around his grin. "Gonna take a lot more than threats of glitter to win me over to this place, yoto."

Not that the quantity of quality femmes wasn't swaying him at all.

Re: General Mingling

[intraspective]

"There's also random invasions," Ino told him off-handedly, watching for his reaction, "If that's more your style than glitter."

Re: General Mingling

[raspberryturk]

"Like, monsters and shit?" He shoved his hands into his pockets, tilting his head faintly. "Sounds a bit more up my alley, yo."

Re: General Mingling

[intraspective]

"I've heard about dinosaurs and trolls," Ino said with a grin, "You like fighting then?"

Re: General Mingling

[raspberryturk]

"Like it? It's part of my job." He didn't mean to look as smug as he did, really. It just came naturally to him. "Keeps things interesting. You some kinda fighter too, yo?"

Re: General Mingling

[intraspective]

"It's my job," she beamed, "I'm a ninja."

Re: General Mingling

[raspberryturk]

"There a lot of people around here who fight for a living? I'm startin' to get a different concept of this place already." Reno had expected something a little more like a prep school. A bunch of kids running around all hours of the night with books and coffee or something far less interesting. "So. I avoid glitter, and keep an eye out for trolls, dinosaurs, and good-lookin' girls. Any other advice?"

Re: General Mingling

[intraspective]

"Um," Ino thought about it, "I think maybe half the students are pretty decent fighters and I know more than that have at least some training?" It was just an estimate. "Same with the teachers. For a lot of us this is pretty much a vacation. Advice? Don't make assumptions. It only makes things complicated."

Re: General Mingling

[raspberryturk]

"Got it." Reno was taking mental notes, here. "No assumptions, yoto. Classes any good around here?"

He had to know if he'd be planning things around classes, or drinking through them, after all.

Re: General Mingling

[intraspective]

"It really, really depends on what classes you're in." Ino said seriously, "Some are a total waste of time. What classes are you in?"

Re: General Mingling

[raspberryturk]

"Some interactive religion thing, an ethics class, and... the art of cool. Apparently, cool is an art, yoto? And here I thought that people like you and me just came across it naturally."

Re: General Mingling

[intraspective]

She did like him. Yes. "Maybe it's a class for those who want to learn, and you can be a living example." Ino laughed. "I don't know about the religion thing, but ethics? Ugh. Master Skywalker's crazy strict and I disagreed with pretty much everything he said. That being said, he's the type that'll track you down if you don't go. So it's easier just to show up."

Re: General Mingling

[raspberryturk]

"Sounds like a challenge. See how long I can get away with it." Not that Reno was looking for trouble. Really. Truly. "Keeps things interesting, yo."

Re: General Mingling

[intraspective]

"You're going to get detention." Ino predicted. She understood the urge for a challenge, but really. One detention had been enough.

Re: General Mingling

[raspberryturk]

"I'm not worried about detention," Reno said with a shrug. "Hear it's not just about writing lines, still not worried. You figure I should be?"

Re: General Mingling

[intraspective]

"My one and only detention had me running from a horde of alien monsters with only an unfamiliar weapon for protection." Ino told him. "Writing lines isn't in the equation."

Re: General Mingling

[raspberryturk]

...

Reno stared for a moment.

And another moment.

And then he grinned.

"I'm gonna have to aim for detention as often as possible, I'm thinkin."

Re: General Mingling

[intraspective]

That made her laugh. "You're crazy, you know that?" She grinned, "I like that. What's your name anyway?"

Re: General Mingling

[raspberryturk]

"Reno," he was hating this place less and less all the time. "Didn't catch yours, either, yoto."

Re: General Mingling

[intraspective]

"I'm Ino," she told him with a toss of her head, "and don't you forget it."

Re: General Mingling

[raspberryturk]

"Wouldn't dream of it," he replied with a nod.

... If only because her name sounded so similar to his own.

Re: General Mingling

[intraspective]

"Good," she nodded, "I'd hate to have to try and pound you." Well, no, she'd probably enjoy the challenge.

Re: General Mingling

[raspberryturk]

"It would make rememberin' your name that much more interesting," Reno shrugged. "Might have to forget it on purpose sometime. Just to mix things up, yo."

Re: General Mingling

[intraspective]

"If you ever feel like sparring you could always just ask," Ino told him, rolling her eyes, "if I'm not busy, I'll always say yes. I'm in Room 504, so you can't even claim you don't know where to find me."

Re: General Mingling

[raspberryturk]

"Just a short trip down the hall. I'm in 501." Convenience was a grand thing for lazy types like himself. "Any good places to spar around here, anyhow?"

He was just full of questions today.
