[2nd-year Cleanup Thread]

[goodbye_mr_vr]

Who: The students of class 2-C
What: Time to clean up the classroom.
When: Monday, April 19th
Where: Class 2-C, naturally.



"Look, I've got nothing against you, but..."

The tired-looking, lanky man glanced at his tablet and grimaced before making a halfhearted gesture of encouragement. "Someone's got to clean up this classroom. And you're the chosen ones."

The classroom wasn't precisely a mess, but it was more work than one or two people could handle. Perhaps that was why fate had dragged not just one or two people before Mr. Ishinomori, but several.

"...and by chosen ones, I mean that you all were half-asleep in class today. Sorry about that, but... I, uh. Don't make the rules."

He looked moderately uncomfortable as he gazed over the group, before looking back at the tablet and tapping it a few times with his stylus. "Just let me know when you all are finished, alright? I'll be in the... staff room."

Ishinomori wasn't the only one who looked moderately uncomfortable. Granted, that was an understatement of how Shino really felt, but she left it at that for now, shifting her weight awkwardly as they stood there.

She didn't want to be the first to say something, but... "This sucks."

[darken_the_light]

Kaede had thoughts not entirely dissimilar to Shino's (her own, admittedly, twinged with an undercurrent of suspicion that she made an effort to brush aside), though chose to vocalize them in her own way.

Specifically, as a muttered, "What a joke." The glower towards the door Ishinomori had left through made it rather clear exactly what--or, well, who--she was talking about.

[notice_me_senpai]

Kaito was already up from his seat as Ishinomori stepped out the door, making a beeline for the cleaning supplies the teacher had helpfully left near the front of the room. Before anybody else could comment or make a move, he laid claim to a mop and an empty bucket, and stood by the door.

"I'm gonna go fill this at the sinks. Anybody want to come with?"

He indicated a second bucket that had been left in the small, unceremonious heap in front of the digital "blackboard".

"The faster we get to work, the faster we'll get this done!"

Akagi was sitting at a desk in the back of the room. Mr. Ishinomori hadn't technically required him to be there, but he wanted to show support for his comrades, so though he disappeared for a moment, when he came back he had soft drinks which he set up on a desk for people to take while they worked. It was the least he could do.

[geekykomori]

"Take one of the boys," Shino muttered, trying not to let her imagination run wild with that one. She just didn't want to end up carrying a huge bucket of water or something. Not that she thought Kaito would make her.

"I'll do dusting," she volunteered, trying not to sound too bored. She kind of wanted to just go drink a soda now but... there was no way she wanted to stand out as the first person to go over there. Guess there was no choice but to do actual work... what a bummer.

[whoever wants to be voluntold by kaito to carry water can respond]

[notice_me_senpai]

"Thank you for volunteering to dust, Moriyama-san! I'll just, uh..."

Covering his eyes in the most mature and reasoned form of randomly selecting an assistant possible, Kaito wildly pointed around the room until his finger settled on one person.

"Bring you!"

[stat_o_vision]

He was pointing at Reina. Well. He was sort of pointing at Reina. He wasn't really pointing at anyone, but Reina was close enough, and going to collect water meant not having to figure out what to do for herself.

Which was the only problem she really had with being asked to clean the classroom. She was more than happy to do it, she just didn't know where to start. Especially when someone else might want to do any given job she could start on.

"Of course, I'd be happy to!"

[darken_the_light]

Unlike Shino, Kaede had no compunctions about being the first to take advantage of Akagi's hostpitality. And so, she made her way promptly to that desk, secured a soft drink, glancing over at Akagi as she did so. He wasn't exactly her favorite person--but, after a moment's consideration, she decided that, whatever motives he had for that act of charity, not acknowledging it would be rude.

And so, she sighed an almost-lazy, "Thanks," while glancing about for some task to keep herself occupied. Maybe the windows.

[akayashi_ftw]

He nodded to her with a pleasant smile on his face in response, "You're welcome."

[geekykomori]

Shino fumed. If she'd just waited a second, she could have followed Kaede, but now she'd look like a tool if she just abandoned dusting to go get a drink before she even started. With the cleaning cloth and duster, she set about starting on the walls and shelves, glad facing them meant she could relax her face and glare as much as she liked where no one could see.

[akayashi_ftw]

Akagi didn't know Shino thaat well, but he did notice her glance at the table a few times while he was putting the drinks out on it. He wasn't sure why she didn't just come and get a drink, but after a moment he decided to hand out some drinks and he figured he might as well start with someone who had shown interest.

"You wanna drink?" He asked her casually after deftly rolling himself across the room.

[geekykomori]

She was kind of taken by surprise with how quietly he approached, more used to listening to pattering feet than wheels. One moment he was across the room, she turned back to her work and then when she finally got around to looking again, he was right there offering her a drink.

"Oh! Uh, um... sure? Any sodas?" she asked, trying not to look too surprised.

[akayashi_ftw]

Akagi laughed a little inwardly, he was actually used to surprising people. But the only sign of his amusement on his face was a slight gleam in his eyes and perhaps a slightly deeper smile than normal for him, "Yep. I brought Cielo Mist, Dr. Salt NEO and TaP."
