Summary: Ohtori meets Inui and tries out some juice...


Ohtori: *wanders his way back to Ryuhana, again skillfully avoiding his former classmates and friends, as he is essentially supposed to be just a ghost at this point in his life. He stops the moment he reaches the door to Inui's, knocking carefully and keeping his hood up, only stopping to smile and thank the student he had never before met for showing him the way*

Inui: *has stopped his power blender just in time to hear the knock on the door, and a brow perks up inquisitively. He glances at his watch, noting the time as he picks up his faux glasses and perches them on his nose. Before going for the door, he stops by a wall littered with tiny scribbles and presses a finger to the pencil. The graphite immediately blends in with the wall and he wipes his hand against his apron, now approaching the door and opening it. He pauses as he doesn't recognize the young man, but he eventually smiles.* Ohtori-kun, I presume? Please, come in. *steps aside*

Ohtori: *blinks at the stranger on the other side, it's nice to meet someone else around his height, as he was admittedly expecting to look down at whoever answered the door. He smiles politely and offers a formal bow* Nice to meet you, Inui-san. Thank you." *He carefully entered the room, taking a quick note of his surroundings, something he learned while on the run with Ryou.

*Inui's room is a little sparse, with blank white walls and just a few pieces of furniture here and there. The kitchen is visible from where Ohtori is standing, and there's a blender at the counter, full of... a dark brown liquid.*

Inui: It's very nice to meet you as well. *half-bow as he lets Ohtori in* Your drink will be ready in just a moment. *smiles as he heads for the kitchen* Please, have a seat anywhere.

Ohtori: *quietly finds someplace non-obstructive to sit at and offers a smile* So you teach here, Inui-san? Do you enjoy it? *really hopes he's someone who won't judge him based on any sort of records*

Inui: *smiles amiably* I do teach here; my areas of expertise are on the subjects of Chemistry and Biochemistry, but I also instruct classes on Biology and Physics. And as for whether or not I enjoy it... It's certainly a change of pace; I don't mind teaching. *sets out two glasses on the counter and picks up the pitcher, pouring its contents into the glasses* And you've implied that you've attended this institution before?

Ohtori: *looking questioningly at the glass, that does not look like something anyone should be drinking, it looked a bit like swamp muck* Ah...that sounds interesting. I'm trying to get into medicine....*staring at the drink, it looks like it might move* ...ah- yes. I was a student here for a while.

Inui: Medicine? I know of another who attends Ryuhana Gakuen who wishes to enter the field of medicine. Oishi Syuichirou. Perhaps you've met him? *finishes pouring and he takes the two glasses over to Ohtori, setting them on the table* And may I be nosy and ask why you aren't attending Ryuhana Gakuen anymore? *smiles faintly* I don't mean to pry.

Ohtori: *nods to him and smiles a bit more* Yes, I've met him a few times before I left the school. *blinks at the glasses, deciding if Inui was going to pry, he would as well in a moment* I was abducted for a while and circumstances around that lead to me needing a change of scenary. May I ask- uhm...the juice? What is it?

Inui: *picks up the glasses, taking a sip to make sure the consistency is to his satisfaction* This nutritional drink has nearly all the essential vitamins and minerals you need in a day, though its focus is more on building muscle. This is actually another prototype for one of my colleagues. I was hoping you could give me your opinion on its taste? *looks to Ohtori expectantly*

Ohtori: Ah- uhm alright...*he knows he'll regret this- but slowly raises the glass to his lips before gulping it back* well- *looking a bit traumatized, and not sure what to say* uh-

Inui: *tries to hide the amusement on his face* Is there perhaps too much cayenne powder? I was hoping to offset the sweetness of the bananas. And are the soy beans smooth enough? What do you think about the onions?

Ohtori: *gulps thickly and tries to speak, feeling very queasy all of the sudden. He swallows back something that feels like a rock* Uhm- I-it is a bit...thick...and....s-strong...*gag*

Inui: *face is neutral, despite chuckling mentally-- is it that bad?* Ah... I was going more for a smoothie consistency. Perhaps I'll add some more water next time. *pauses* Would you like a glass of water, Ohtori-kun?

Ohtori: *winces, eyes watering up just a bit* Might help- *nods quickly in appreciation for the water, glaring at the now empty glass quickly*

Inui: *somewhat impressed that this one finished the whole glass without fainting* Very well, one moment. *stands and heads for the kitchen, pouring a glass of water for Ohtori. He comes back quickly, since he thinks Ohtori deserves that much, and hands him the water* You said it was too strong? Do you mean it was too spicy, or do the onions have something to do with it?

Ohtori: *coughs again before thanking him for the water, and drinks it a bit quickly, well aware he's probably getting a bit sparky, since he's concentrating more on not throwing up on Inui's floor* I think it might be the onions, Inui-san...*he finishes the glass quickly before daring to look up again* Definitely the onions...

Inui: *blinks as he thinks he sees random static electricity* And I had thought the onions would be a nice addition. *tilts his head curiously at Ohtori* Ah... you've said you've previously attended this school... so that means you're a mutant? *watches the sparks warily*

Ohtori: Sorry- It may partly be that I don't like onions very much- *especially chunks of raw onion-ugh. He froze and realized what was happening before stopping it with a small, apologetic nod* Yes, I'm a mutant, Inui-san...sorry about the sparking. I promise I'm harmless.

Inui: *smiles* Intriguing. Static electricity?

Ohtori: All electricity- that's just sometimes a side effect...*really concerned with getting sick*

Inui: Oh? A side effect of what, if you don't mind me asking.

Ohtori: My mutation. *shrugs* See I control and can convert into electric energy. *small laugh* Sometimes it just gets a bit carried away.

Inui: Ah, you can convert yourself into electricity? I never would have known... *chuckles with Ohtori* It is... amazing to be working here. One cannot know what to expect; there are so many possible mutations.

Ohtori: Yes- though....I'm still working on it. *bites his lower lip as he gets queasy again* Yes- that's why when I get my diploma, I'm going to have an open clinic for mutants.

Inui: *nods slightly* That's quite a goal to accomplish-- it's very admirable of you. *smiles slightly* I hope to see it one day and brag that I know two famous doctors personally.

Ohtori: *grins and nods* Yeah- I hope I'll be able to make it happen. Uhm...good luck with the drinks...*swallows again*

Inui: Thank you. *pauses as he studies Ohtori* ...Would you like another glass of water? I hope my drink hasn't upset you.

Ohtori: Maybe just one more...*small smile*

Inui: Please do not hesitate to ask for anything-- I know my drinks aren't for everyone, as evident from other trials. *gets another glass for Ohtori and hands it to him* *pauses to think for a moment* ...As I recall, you've said you were abducted at one point or another? That's very curious...

Ohtori: *sips the water this time* It's okay- I might be having an off day too...*being nice* I was...I was taken from where I was staying, beaten and experimented on. All the others that were in that house with me died....*shivers a bit*

Inui: Was this during the institutionalization of mutants not long ago? *tilts his head, seemingly sympathetic*

Ohtori: Before then. *has another sip*

Inui: *nods slightly, wishing to know more* That is... terrible. It's amazing what people will do sometimes.

Ohtori: *nods quietly and keeps sipping his water*

Inui: *decides to change the subject for now* In any case, you've said you have a wedding to go to?

Ohtori: *smiles* My older sister, I'm leaving tomorrow for home to see my family and everything. *blushes* I've told you so much without talking about you, sorry if I was being rude.

Inui: No, you weren't rude at all. I tend to like listening to others, and you're no exception. *smiles back* You must be excited-- though, I've been to my share of weddings and they've been quite boring, admittedly. Though it's your sister's wedding, so it should be more interesting.

Ohtori: Alright- *would hate to seem rude* I am, we've been looking forward to this for a while now, the whole family is thrilled.

Inui: I would imagine so. *idea* Ah. Would you like to bring some treats back home? I've got some cookies made, and you could think of them as an impromptu wedding present.

Ohtori: *blinks* Really? Uhm- that would be very nice of you... I don't want to be trouble.

Inui: No, no, it's no trouble at all. I'm afraid I made too many anyway, so you would be doing me a favor, really. *glances at his watch* Ah, I don't want to keep you here for too long. *smiles* Thank you for sampling my drink. It seems I still have to work on the taste.

Ohtori: Thank you very much. I'm sure you'll have the drink figured out in no time...uhm- if there's ever a way to repay you for your kindness... don't hesitate to ask.

Inui: *shakes his head as he stands to head back into the kitchen. He goes ahead and packs up some cookies into a tupperware bin* No need to repay me. I thank you for going out of your way and visiting me; it's very nice to meet new people. Should you need anything, however, please do not hesitate to ask me either. I will be more than willing to help.

Ohtori: Thank you. It was nice meeting you- *bows and leaves fairly quickly- he wants to be ill and then pass out for a while*
