>We have ways to deal with deer. >=[
>Any major events coming up? Exams, Festivals, Holy Grail Wars?
>In three days time, Mayoiga Day is slated to begin in the Hatori Saigyoji Memorial Park. It commerates the day the former head of the Saigyoji Group began reconstruction of the town, some 41 years ago, after the second Lunarian war. On one level, it is a testament to the vision of one man, and the tenacity of the living spirit. On a more basic level, it's one big excuse to party.
>Most of your midterm exams are complete, much to the relief of the student body. The only outstanding exam is Tokiko-sensei's math exam, which is slated for next monday. You feel you are quite adequately prepared, and you have been tutoring Letty and Minoriko Aki (who is also a resident of the Moonside apts.) in that department, though Nitori Kawashiro (the fourth resident of Moonside) has more expertise on the subject than you and has been leading the study sessions in that area.
Unfortunately, the last grail war concluded about a month ago. Lancer was the winner, and his wish was for the world to party for a week solid because he is MADE OF WIN.> How much time is left in class?
>About two or three minutes. Keine is making her final points on the matter for the day.
> How do we know Irish? Why?
> Our what now?
>You know Eire because Rin speaks Eire. She picked it up during her time with Konngara, her previous owner, as Eire is spoken by practically every oni in the world. She was not completely fluent, and as a consequence, neither are you, but you can follow most conversations quite handily.
>Your slave. Oni have kept slaves for centuries, as far as you know, and the most of them treat treat their slaves very well. Evidently the majority of oni consider it an insult to their pride to mistreat a slave. Konngara was not among that majority. Barely a day went by when you didn't see Konngara berate her slave, even for no apparant reason, usually verbally, sometimes not. Being an oni, no one was really willing to do anything about it, so you took matters into your own hands. You challenged her, per oni code, and she accepted, citing the tennis courts as your battlefield. She wanted to humiliate you at your own game. She failed, and so, for the past two months, you have owned Rin.
>You would have released her right away of course, as you have no desire to 'own' anyone, but by oni law, there would have been nothing stopping Konngara from claiming Rin all over again. You are quite certain Rin is happier where she is, and her presence in your life has been nothing but good.
