UN: Princely

Hello, hello, Daybreak!

I suppose my timing is pretty good, huh? But I wanted to know what people here do for fun! Price isn't really something that matters to me, so any suggestions are good suggestions. I'm not much on fights or anything, but anything else is on the table. And I, ah, am too young for any sort of drinking either...

Anyway! I also wanted to know where everyone is from? It's interesting to see the different nationalities in a place like this and, admittedly, learning more about those from places I've never been. Personally, I'm originally from France, not too far out from here, but the last two years were spent in Japan. I wonder if the commoner stuff in other countries is the same or different...

Which, I guess, would lead me to also introducing myself? It'd be rude not to even through texts???

I'm Tamaki Suou and I'm going to be part of the tenth grade class once classes start up again. Contemplating on bringing something from my former school here, but that depends on if it's necessary or not! We'll see! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*✲ﾟ*｡⋆

so pretending like you don't have as much privilege as you do is a fun hobby then

listen MAYBE you have a smidge of good intention somewhere there but you're better off keeping to making fireworks out your fingers and getting out of Contracts than "suffering" to see how the other half lives
doing the dishes ain't gonna be what gets you killed

Is it considered a hobby when it could be useful for you down the line if the worst were to happen?

Honestly, I'm not going to be someone that they would put on the front lines to begin with. Even with the magic I have, it's not... battle related.

Useful, yes, but not battle-wise.

[school official voice] everything is battle related if the stakes are high enough

what do you do

Mostly illusion-based, nothing that really alters reality or anything. Which is why I... don't think it'd be very useful on a battlefield.

I guess bending reality in a small space wouldn't be impossible, in theory... [Why is he suddenly sounding intelligent? What.]

[narrows eyes...illusions, huh...

well, it can't be Kano if only because he's readily admitting that's what he does. Still, he's going to satisfy his wary curiosity by checking if he's ever seen this dude before.

...OKAY?? HE HAS, BUT THIS WASN'T WHAT HE MEANT]

RENÉ YOU STUPID BASTARD PRETENDING YOUR NAME IS TAMAKI ISN'T AN ILLUSION

[Wait. Wait hold on a second. No one here should know what his actual first name is, it's only on the paperwork and nowhere else.

He's not responding for a couple of minutes as he tries to figure this out, quietly going to the profile and then internally cursing his luck.

Of course it'd be him.

And he's instantly switching over to typing in French instead, since it's more comfortable.]

Well, I can safely say I didn't expect to see you here, Maverick.

Also it's the name I'm supposed to be going by now, long... long story.

lemme guess
holier than thou condescending ancient mage family shit blah blah blah
use whatever fucking name you want, it's your fucking life

[He's all about picking your own name.]

and like I said everything is battle related if the stakes are high enough in this place
got a flame? here's a fucking uniform, don't matter what it is
I'm just here for the diploma

Do you know why I went to Japan with no real warning?

I guess that's true, though I don't think the level I'm at right now is really useful out there. But that's... partly why I'm here to begin with.

nah
just knew I had more free time
but based on the timing of this question I'm gonna guess holier than thou condescending ancient mage family shit blah blah blah again

You aren't wrong. Mother thought it'd be better for the both of us if I went to live with my father's side of the family instead.

For her security and health along with supposedly a better life for me.

That's... kind of why I'm using a different name now? But they're just another mage family, a big deal in Japan, at least.

hey look you know how to lock shit down
I'm impressed
guess ancient magic richy rich secret lessons include modern tech

you ain't in Japan anymore but whatever
not the first time someone's popularity over there fucked with my public interaction with them
course I ain't gonna go as easy on you unless you can convince me
René~

Oh come on, do you think I wouldn't know a bit about technology to do that much? I'm insulted.

I wasn't expecting to really be treated like anything special while over here, honestly? The less people that know of my family, the better. A little more authentic that way, but still have to keep the facade going just in case I decide to bring a special little thing over here.

Which I might. It'd be fun, I think.

kid you didn't know how to use coupons I'm never surprised when you don't know something
do you even know how to now???

a special little thing
like a wife?
you guys do arranged marriage shit right

anyway I'm very disappointed you aren't bribing me

Look. LOOK. I know how those work just fine now, thank you!

No. I mean, there'd probably be some pressure of me to find someone "worthy" or something, but that's not what I mean. There was a club I had co-founded back in Japan and I'm curious to if it'd work here or not. Since it's... a pretty Japanese thing, I think.

Why would I bribe you when that's also my name????

thinking you should prove it

I know more than just your name from my brief stint as babysitter kiddo
stuff that's ill-befitting of a powerful wizarding family heir

[The validity of that is...questionable, but he's almost positive he can figure something out.

...and then, in Japanese:] let's hear it

Do they even do coupons here????

Honestly, it doesn't bother me. I'm not the one that's hung up on a family image, as long as I do what I'm supposed to, then what's the problem?

[Mav, you are such a dick. But he's honestly playing this off pretty cooly, for once.

He can do Japanese too, that's fine.]

When'd you learn Japanese?

you're so fucking stupid

[René..........René.]

naive little boy... you use illusions and you haven't fucking figured out image is everything?

when I bothered to

Rude.

[Look, he's trying his best! Which honestly isn't even that good, but it's fine.]

Surprisingly there's things I'd rather not pretend to be?

Oh come on, Maverick, there has to be some reason other than you just decided to. That doesn't make much sense, given it's you.

And you're practical about these things, so do tell me why.

[He wants to jump right into the lewd to teach the kid a lesson about poking his nose where it doesn't belong, but he's not going to be baited!!!

He does, however, switch back to French because he can be way more casual.]

except I do a ton of shit because I just decide do I'm all about doing what I fucking want
but you're right it was practical too
I think there's gotta be some kinda fucking rift over there because I swear to god like a third of the fucking students are Japanese
went on a little vacation over there last month to visit my boyfriend's old haunts so I put more effort in

[Then don't be obtuse and be vague and he wouldn't bother poking his nose into it!!!! But fine, back to French it is.]

I know, I know. You don't have to keep telling me you do a lot of things because you want to, I'm well aware.

Also in my defense, I'm only half Japanese.

[Wait. Wait stop and back up, did he say boyfriend? Oh, this is better than what he was expecting.]

You have a boyfriend? So, who is it? [He's not a gossip!!! But he also wants to know, because he's disgustingly curious about this information and, you know, love matters are always fascinating. Especially in a new school.]

[This is being a gossip??]

don't sound so fucking surprised

[He's a catch, after all!!! Of course he has a boyfriend. But... Hmm.]

you keep up on the magic and weird shit news at all over there?

[He's not being a gossip! Mostly.]

It's not that I'm surprised so much as I'm happy for you?

[Magic and weird news in Japan? Well, that's an interesting question to be asking.]

I try to, if I don't, then grandmother absolutely does. Why?

[uh-huh. gossip.]

cuz you might've heard of him then
I call him princess but over there he's known more as the detective prince

[Totally not gossip.

Detective prince, detective prince... He swears he's heard that before, but the name isn't really coming to him.]

I think I've heard that title before, in passing, but I'm not completely familiar...

you disappoint me and my theatrics
