"Well...I suppose in U.A there are a lot of people who look different, and no one seems to mind about others appearance so...it probably will be okay." Just in Raphael's class there was a cat and a boy with only one arm, both due to their quirks. But he liked to think at least here, people wouldn't be discriminated for that kind of thing. "Umm...well...if you are ever feeling tired or need calm or uplifting or anything...let me know, some of my songs have that kind of effect that...might help you." If the blonde could be helpful in any way, he wanted to be. That was how people felt a worth in existence, right? And he was here to help. "Ah really? I suppose I didn't really speak to anyone much before I came here either... do you live in the dorms?" He supposed the other did, as A had their own dorm, H must have one too. |

"Yeah... if one can be himself I guess it can be here. And people here would probably take it a lot better than people at the orphanage. That doesn't mean I will be running here like this." he said and took off his glasses, revealing his eyes. Instead of eyes, there were two bright flames pulsing with unnatural energy. It was strange because it didn't really appear that he was looking in any specific direction.
"I think it's too deep in the uncanny valley for most people..." he said, still looking nowhere with his two flames. With a weird smile, he put his goggles back on.
"I could use that actually. I sometimes put on some music to keep my mind off things. And it kind of works... so I think your power should probably work much better, right?" it was good to know, that there were people who would help him with things so apparently minor as this. It wasn't exactly a small problem for him, but he didn't quite expect others to see that.
"Yeah... I think all of the students do. Though since I don't sleep I spent a lot of time at the workshop too. At night there is no one there and I can work without anyone disturbing me. I have some tools at my room, but during the night I can't exactly hit the anvil, can I?" if he tried he wouldn't probably be very popular amongst his peers. He could imagine what kind of confusion would occur if he started making a sword during the night...

Instead of pupils, a bright flame met Raphael's lilac eyes when the other teen removed his glasses. "Waa..." He gasped in amazement. "You have so much energy. I don't think I've ever met someone with so much energy radiating out of their eyes before! But...um...well, if you are not comfortable with it...then I think it is better you do what makes you feel at ease." He knew quite a few people seemed insecure about something, and it probably was worse for them in their head than others saw it but, when they were ready. He sincerely hoped that day would come for everyone, including the redhead before him. "And...I think so? I mean I am happy to try one day, we can arrange a time and I will be there!" The blonde said with a determined smile. "Haha, I suppose that is true! Though I heard support class all have crazy sleep schedules and everyone does all sorts of experiments in their rooms...is that true?" |

"They say eyes are a window to a soul. Or something like that. Well... this appears to be quite the unnerving window for people." he explained.
"I have no problem with that, but most people react... well poorly. Eyes can tell you a lot about a person. But with eyes like this people can't say where I am looking... or what I am thinking. Even laughing seems strange when it's not mirrored in the eyes. So I learned to wear the goggles. It makes everything easier." and while even the goggles made people looking a bit strange, it was nothing compared to how it was without them.
Amaru just nodded when they made the plan to try the... music therapy for the lack of a better word. It was something to look forward to.
"I can't really tell, but I suspect most support student tinker in their room every now and then. There is actually quite a good soundproofing in the walls, the school spared no expense, but that doesn't mean you can do anything. Loud hits of iron to iron is just too much." he tried to explain how it worked in his dorm. He didn't visit many of his classmates in their room so far, but the few he had did use their room for experiments.
"But yes, I think support class probably has the worse sleep schedule in the entire school. Not sure about that but it seems to be a safe bet..." this school was a weird place to be sure...

"Ahhh...yes, I do sometimes worry that I inconvenience my dormmates when I sing...so I do try and do it outside or the rehearsal rooms but...it is nicer to do it in my room sometimes..." It was odd. Several weeks ago he moved into that small room, that was much smaller than any he had ever lived in and it felt so alien to him. And now when he came back after work or from a day of school, it felt...a bit like home. It wasn't something he could say for sure yet, but still, he felt like he was getting there. His classmates were kind, and he had found a person he wanted to know better...well, two people he wanted to understand and know better. That was what human relationships were like, right? Maybe these things were easier for people who had a family, something Raphael lacked for a while now. It made him remember his classmate, who seemed to miss his family so, so much. "I don't know though...um...well...I know it's not my place to say this but...your eyes radiate so, so much energy and to me, it seems positive. So it's not a bad thing, I think. Many people in the world have...lost that. And it's sad." He smiled a little sadly before shaking his head- this wasn't the sort of topic he should really be pulling out now. "Ah- what are your family like, Amaru-san?" This was usually the safer thing to talk about, most people in UA seemed to have strong family bonds. |

"And I suppose installing additional soundproofing would be too much work to be practical right? Then again if you sing that shouldn't be that loud... and if you aren't doing it late at night it shouldn't be a problem..." even Amaru sometimes sang in the shower, but he never even thought that anyone could hear it.
For Amaru, it wasn't weird at all. He moved from a bit room he shared with 5 other boys into a small one he had for himself and he loved it. It was incredibly freeing. As far as he was concerned it was the first proper home he ever had and he made it feel like it. Granted, it was basically a glorified workshop, but it was HIS workshop.
What took him by a surprise was, that Raphael actually seemed to like his eyes. Today surely was a day of firsts. It sounded a bit metaphysical, but he took is a compliment.
"To be honest I think it was the nicest thing I ever heard about my eyes... or possibly the only positive thing? I am not completely sure." it took him by a surprise and... well it was a bit breathtaking.
Unfortunately, the next topic was surprising in a bad way. He never talked about his family, simply because there wasn't much to tell. He didn't see his brother for years, his parents were criminals locked and forgotten.
"My family... I don't really have one. I grew in an orphanage." he didn't elaborate. It was easier for him if people believed his parents were dead. In a way, they were... at least for him.

"I'm not sure if I should be modifying the room..." Raphael clearly had not seen anyone else's room specially in support classes for him to be saying this. "But I do try and keep it to a minimum though some people sleep earlier than me and I tend to sleep at 9pm unless I have work till later..." The blonde tried not to let the small side effect of his quirk drive the things he said too much as that had dumped him in more than one uncomfortable situation already- most people didn't want their feelings known, and...he had an unfortunate ability to be able to tell some of the emotions many tried to hide. A brief violet aura, usually assosiated with shock or alarm spiked from the other boy before it disappeared again- Ah. He had said something wrong. Why was he always like this? He had only made his classmate cry a few days prior by saying the wrong thing, this ability he had inherited from his mother was a very hard thing to use correctly. "Ah...I see..." He nodded, he did assume the other boy's parents had died. In this world of villains and heroes, it was unfortunately not uncommon to meet people with dead parents. "But were you happy at the orphanage? Um... I don't have a family anymore either, but I was old enough to live by myself by the time it happened so I've never been to those places..." He realised it probably wasn't the thing to be asking. "Ah-I'm sorry I...didn't mean to pry, I...I apologise." |

"Well, that probably makes sense. If everyone would modify their room soon all rooms would be pretty strange," he admitted. Even though the study on this school seems like it will be long, in the grand scheme of things it was just a few years. It was funny to imagine coming into his room for the first time, only to find out, that there were dozens of modifications made by the previous inhabitants. And all of it would clash together.
When they were talking about his family it really wasn't something he was keen on and asking about the orphanage was strange. It wasn't exactly a happy place, there were lots of kids, some good, some... not so much. But for a time it was home.
"It has its pluses and minuses... like everything. For a time I was hoping that I might leave the place with some nice folks, but I guess the eyes didn't help it much. But it's really not important right now." he tried to just wave the memory away with a simple gesture.
"It's the past and my talents brought me here. And now school is my family." he tried to smile a little.
"It's fine, really. I don't mind talking about myself. It's not like I have some terrible secrets..." except the whole villain weapon making parents thing.
"And it actually helped me to sort my thoughts a bit... I guess I should talk to people more often. And... I might even use a friend." he wasn't exactly subtle.

"W-well...I don't think it's too late to find people to be your family...or so I read anyway... because once you marry, then you just make a family of your own, I think?" That was the idea right? He had read it in some book before. "Thank you, I suppose one thing I did find out once coming here was...that I am not very good at conversing a pleasant conversation... I am sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable at all, Izumi-san." He was glad for the other teen's kindness- he didn't seem to be too angry, thankfully. "Yes, it really does feel...like a strange family here, doesn't it? Maybe even people like myself or you who don't have conventional family... we may be able to form some connections. At least I hope so. And well, if it's not an issue, would you like us to be friends?" The blonde asked with a soft smile. To be honest, he didn't really know what the term meant truly, but he wanted to make more friends. Or what people thought of as friends, in any case. |

"Yeah well, that is in the future. Too distant future to really be thinking about right now. But you're right and one day I would like to start a family like that but it's probably many years before I need to even think about that." there was perhaps one girl he did consider a close friend but even she wasn't that close. Given that the thought of wife and children was a bit distant.
"Tell me about it... I think this is officially the longest conversation I ever had with someone. I am not really great with people. I am much better with steel..." people were difficult, steel was easy.
"There are tons of people at this school, but most of us share the same goal - to do some good in the world. That is something that can help people grow closer. Though I have few classmates who are only wanting to make a lot of money by selling their hero gear. I guess I can't really hold it against them." guess Amaru was more of an idealist. Then again helping heroes didn't mean he had to get poor by doing it.
"I must warn you... I never really had a friend. There were few people in the orphanage that I spoke with... and I am probably not great at it. But I am willing to give it my best try." he laughed nervously. His human skills certainly could use some training, but at least he knew it and was doing his best to improve.

Raphael had already a fiance planned out and everything by his parents long ago, though he wasn't actually sure he was meant to follow through with it now that they were dead, but to him romance was something that happened to other people but not himself due to this. "I sort of understand...talking to and connecting with others is hard." He sympathised, it was true, words were...hard when you had to use them with other people.It was something admittedly he had to work on also. "Don't worry. I don't...think I had friends before I came here either. So we are all new at this, mm?" A small laugh came from the blonde before he smiled up at the support student. Well, at least it wasn't just him who had these problems then. "Well let's give it our best shot together, Izumi-san!" |

"Growing up in the orphanage it was... weird to connect with others. Why making friends if they could be gone in a week or two. And once they were gone they usually forgot all about you. So while we were talking and playing together it was..." he shrugged now knowing how to explain. It was weird.
"Seems like a great idea. I mean... what could possibly go wrong." for a moment he stood there, waiting if lightning won't suddenly come from the clear sky and struck him down. He was kind of asking for it but fortunately, it seems like the powers of fate weren't paying attention. After a moment of silence he started laughing for apparently no reason.
"I am sorry, but usually when someone says something like that it ends really badly. It's up there with "I have bad feeling about this". I should stop tempting fate." sometimes he was quite capable of making himself laugh with some stupid overly cliched joke. He was just weird that way.
"Ok... perhaps I should add "talk a bit less" to the list of "how to make friends" he pointed out something that was really obvious. He talked a lot when he was nervous and right now he was quite nervous. He finally stood up, making a terrible cracking noise as he was stretching. Sounded like breaking a wooden branch.
"Darn... I really shouldn't sit for such a long time... " he always hated that pop-crack sound, it gave him goose bumps.

Raphael couldn't help but laugh a little at his newly acquainted friend's words. It was a soft laugh, his hand covering his mouth lightly. "Izumi-san is funny. Though I suppose I can understand what you mean, I sometimes feel like that...like...what if I wake up and all the good things that have happened...aren't real...or something I believed in all this time...wasn't real..." He trained off for a moment before realising he had been doing so. "A-ah! Sorry!! I think I may be worse than you at talking too much..." Another awkward laugh as he tried to brush off his social faux pas. "W-well, i-it seems to be the end of lunch so I better head off to my next class, I suppose, but let's keep in contact- shall we exchange numbers?" The blonde asked as he stood up also, holding out his phone so he could transfer the number to the other's. "Um... thank you for speaking to me today...and I hope we can spend more time together in the future... I sometimes do have a really full schedule but I will try my best!" He said smiling as he put his phone away once they exchanged numbers. "See you, Izumi-san!" Raphael gave the other boy a small wave before he started to walk to his afternoon class. How odd it was, that these small chances turn into a connection, a tentative bond called friendship that... who knows what it could unfold into? Only time will tell. |

"Funny? Only by accident in my social awkwardness," he admitted. Humor wasn't really his strong suit, but he was trying.
"Well, so we talk too much. It's far better than if we had nothing to say. Isn't it?" he laughed awkwardly as well. If someone was watching them they would probably have a genuine laugh, but Amaru didn't really care. It was nice to talk to someone new and possibly even make a first friend at this school. If someone told him in the morning that he will make a friend he would probably laugh.
"Yeah, I should probably go back as well... I still need to finish my project and thanks to you I managed to clear my head. Which when I said out loud might sound like an insult, but it really isn't. It was incredibly helpful. And sure, yeah..." he gave Raphael his number and hopefully received his in exchange.
"I usually have a lot of free time during the day, because I do what I can at night. So if you manage to have some free time I shouldn't have any problems just postponing everything." not sleeping really did have some advantages and this was the best of them.
"See you around." he waved as well and hoped, that this wasn't the last time they spoke. But it looked like he might make a friend and that was something he would call a win! And clearing his mind was incredibly helpful because now he could continue with his project with a fresh mind which usually expedited matters.
