If the three I have so far are any indicator, non-Japanese. Of course, there's no reason we can't have one - maybe two - foreign exchange students or something.

The World of Wasted Dreams

TheWindel said Everyone. I expect you all to treat the Magic Mirror of Doom like a Gym Battle. No dragon types, no sandstorm, no hydro pump, and no hyper beam.

No dragon types? What kind of gym is this?

Katawa Shoujo: School for the Disabled REBOOT

I daresay that's the longest IC post I've written in at least a few years.

Katawa Shoujo: School for the Disabled REBOOT

~Ami~

"JUST SHUT UP!!!"

If nothing else, Ami was at least surprised enough to drop the orange she'd been eating up to this point. It just rolled its way down the table, slowing to a stop just barely within her arm's reach. If her expression were to change here, it would probably go to something that spoke clearly how she thought she may have said too much. But Kyle kept going.

"Stop talking like you know what the fuck is going on! You have no idea the life I lived before all of this! Fighting was my life, my training, my tutoring, my matches all revolved around it and then it just gets snatched up by some goddamn snow, and what am I left with?! No arm! No future! No more fights, why? Because they kicked me out! Worst of all, my own damn father can't even look me in the-"[/i]

"I...well..."

"GOD DAMN IT ALL!!!!"

And then he left. Maybe that was a good idea, and it was probably also a good idea to not follow him. Judging by his outburst just now, Kyle probably needed some time to cool his head. That was fine. Even if she didn't look it, Ami wasn't feeling up to following somebody who'd just yelled at her like that. If anything, she would have loved somebody to tell her missing an arm wasn't going to slow her down had she ever lost one. Some people just made no sense at all. For now, Ami wanted to at least finish the orange she'd been given. There was still time to eat her lunch, so she planned to eat it up.

---

A few days had passed since the thing at lunch happened. Ami took no time to bounce back from any bad feelings she may have gotten from what had happened, but she'd had a hard time finding Kyle again. She was too nervous to waltz into the boys' dorms and check there, and anywhere else she simply failed to catch sight of him. There were a few reasons she was set on finding him, though. For one, there were still so many things she wanted to know. Ami was also considering at least lending him one of her hand puppets, just as a thing to help him let off some steam. But above all else, she wanted to apologize for whatever she may have said to wrong him at lunch. People didn't just snap at others like that after having a relatively nice chat beforehand, right? Ami figured she must have said something, even if she couldn't pinpoint it.

Today held no success either. Not yet, at least, but it was way too early to give up. It was only the beginning of class now, and there would be so much more time to look around later. A normal person in Ami's situation would probably wait right outside the door of Kyle's classroom, but she always saw that as a stalker thing, and a stalker she was not. But class hours weren't the hours to strategize how to find the person she was looking for. It was a time for class, obviously. She looked with moderate disinterest at the board, until she saw it was time for a group assignment. That was interesting enough, right? She was going to be working with a Masushita and a Yamauchi. That'd be great and all, except...

Despite her friendly nature, Ami didn't know many people in her class. At the very least, she wasn't able to pin any faces with those names on the board. Why couldn't there be little photographs next to the names? There was no helping it; Ami would have to ask for help finding her group. So she did the only natural thing for someone to do. Get up and look for any face in class she at least recognized. And what do you know; she found one. That other boy from the stairs-falling thing the other day. Not the one who fell, but the other one. He was kinda good-looking, she commented. Hadn't he also introduced himself at some point? Ami mentally cursed herself for not remembering if he did or not, and for forgetting his name if he did. So after finding somebody she at least kind of recognized, Ami did the only thing a sane human being would do. Walk right up to him, and ask the question she needed an answer for.

"Do you know which people here are Masushita and Yamauchi?"

~Fiona~

Getting ready in the morning was no major hassle. Having just the one arm made things like getting dressed a little trickier, but it was something Fiona O'Connor had adjusted to over the last few years. By now, she could clothe herself just as well as somebody who had both arms, even if she took a bit longer. That just meant she had only a couple minutes less to spare in the morning compared to other students. Nothing she couldn't handle. Making it to class on time was still no big problem for her. And today was Friday. Closing in on the Sunday off was just another source of motivation to her.

Being in the classroom was a slightly more boring issue. It was what Fiona called "classroom syndrome" sometimes. It was something she defined as being ready to face the day when you first wake up and looking kind of forward to the school day, then wondering if it'll actually be so great the moment you enter the classroom. Judging by what was written on the board - and assuming she wasn't mistaking some characters for others like she did sometimes - it seemed that today they would either be working in pairs or fusing skeletons together. Fiona wasted no time regarding the latter as absurd, given the room's distinct lack of skeletons. It also seemed her partner would be one Nobuyuki Ueda. Well, that was fine. In her three years here, Fiona had seen him a few times, and he seemed like a nice enough guy. Working with him wouldn't be a problem, she figured.

When the teacher gave the green light to start pairing up, Fiona started moving her desk toward Nobuyuki's. She'd seen him enough to remember that he had a cane, so moving his desk around could have been tough for him. As for Fiona, she didn't lift it so much as nudge it along the floor with her hips, carrying her chair in her hand along the way. In due time, her desk met with her partner's, and Fiona set her chair down and set herself in it. Then she nodded to the Nobuyuki boy sitting across from her.

The World of Wasted Dreams

TheWindel said No! Digimon was a good virtual thingy!

Digimon was pretty neat. However, it's got Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh as its main competitors, and when you're up against two giants like that...

speaking of Pokemon, these guys made a good point in a very hilarious way.

Katawa Shoujo: School for the Disabled REBOOT

"I...used to be a professional fighter in a junior league on the fast track to making it to the big time."

Oh? That must have been fun for you. I wonder what a fierce exchange of fists feels like...this is no time to get distracted, Ami. Kyle's still talking!

"Growing up I learned how to fight, I became really good, so good that I was determined to make it to the top, to be the best there was, but that dream was snatched from me. 6 months ago I was in a match with a difficult opponent, it was in the middle of a blizzard and the snow was coming down heavily. It was in the middle of the third round, I had my opponent in a lock, I was about to win, then the ceiling came down."

He survived a ceiling coming down on him? Wow. Even though she seldom used the word, Ami could only describe that as hardcore. If a ceiling had come down on her, she'd be wondering why she'd been knocked down and why she couldn't get back up. To be fair, Kyle was probably able to very well feel the ceiling. She didn't mind, though. Not the part about a ceiling falling on a guy, of course; that was something you'd have to be weird to not be concerned over. No, it was that she didn't mind being here for her missing sense of touch. After all, how often do you meet somebody who survived having a ceiling fall on them?

"The paramedics found me unconscious, but when the ceiling came down, I didn't black out at first. The very first thing I noticed after diving away was that I couldn't feel my arm, when I went to look at it, all I saw was..."

All you saw was an arm that had to be removed. That's actually kind of sad.

"I think that's when the pain started setting in...then the cold...As I said...my lost arm got me in here and now...I'm trying to figure things out..."

"Well, it could be worse. I mean, you survived having a ceiling fall on you. If you can survive something like that, I don't think a limb being gone is going to stop you. At least you can still kind of fight with one arm, can't you? If it were your leg, you'd definitely never be able to fight again." To the point and honest as ever. "I think it's admirable that you're still alive after what happened. And not just that you had a ceiling hit you. I still can't get over how tough you have to be to survive something like that. I mean how you're still here, socializing with people and being open enough to talk about it." Ami took another bite of orange. After swallowing, she washed down the bite with a sip of water, and continued.

"A normal person in your position would at least be a dark-and-depressing kind of guy no matter what he was like before. A weak-spirited person in your position might have tried to kill himself. But, at least for Yamaku's standards, you seem to be doing great. I think you can still fight, even with only one arm." With an almost-smile and a nod, Ami finished talking. Nothing she said was anything from the truth, or at least her opinions on what the truth actually was. She considered changing the topic to something she was more familiar with, but changing the conversation from fighting to puppets seemed like a bit too much of a jarring change to her.

Fiona

NOTE: She has no left arm. It ends pretty much right below the shoulder blade.

Name: Fiona O'Connor

Age: 17

Grade: Third-year

Disability: Missing a left arm

Personality: Fiona is a cold and calculating girl in command of a harsh soldier-esque attitude, with absolutely no concern for others as long as she can meet the harsh standards of her family. At least, that's her exterior act. While she still tries to live up to some of her family's expectations, Fiona is in reality a bit of a tomboy with a heart of pure gold. No matter how cold she acts on the outside, she refuses to wrong another, and is easily one of the kindest people one will meet, even if her exterior demands she only do her good deeds behind the scenes.

She also has a fondness for sports. Most notably, she loves baseball a lot, to the point that she could go on about it for days on end if the topic doesn't change. It's what she considers one of two foils to her uncaring exterior. The other is a complete contradiction to the tomboy she is, in that despite her generally boyish attitude, Fiona is a huge sucker for girly things no matter how much she says otherwise. She's also a bit of a gaming nerd, primarily enjoying RPGs and dating sims, even if she can't play most of the former so well anymore.

Background: Fiona is the birth result of four generations of pure-blooded Irish military breeding. Her great-great-grandfather and every firstborn in the family was in the military and quite successful, leading right on down to Fiona, currently an only child. As per O'Connor family traditions, she was expected from birth to become a soldier, and was given the classic military family upbringing. For a time, at least. Whilst being driven to school at the age of thirteen, the vehicle Fiona was in was hit hard by a drunk driver. Everyone survived, and aside from Fiona, nobody was seriously injured. However, Fiona had to lose her left arm to get out of the car.

Even though the loss of a limb was anything but fine with her, she was fine with the implications behind it. In truth, Fiona never cared much for her military upbringing, nor did she want to join any army. Her father, General Brian O'Connor, was not so happy about it. For the next few months, Fiona was kind of shunned by her father. One day, he returned home with a bride-to-be. Fiona's would-be mother-in-law, who later became Miyuki O'Connor. Despite the typical portrayal of mother-in-laws, Fiona actually admired Miyuki a lot; the woman was kind and understanding, and had no ridiculous expectations for her like Brian. She was everything Fiona wanted from a parent. Brian and Miyuki married each other, then divorced a year later. The family wealth was split in two, and Fiona herself was given the difficult decision of custody when the courts couldn't quite settle it. The final agreement was a fairly standard joint custody thing. Then Miyuki moved. To her homeland of Japan.

With that, the custody agreement also had to change, to avoid the entire family budget getting devoured by airfare. It was agreed upon by both Brian and Miyuki that Fiona would primarily live with her mother-in-law, but would stay with her father one month every year. At the very least, General O'Connor had seemed to mellow out by Fiona's first visit, but more importantly, when she returned to Japan a month later, Miyuki had big news. She'd found the perfect high school for Fiona; a place where other students deemed disabled could go. Yamaku Academy. Three years later, here she is.

Other info: Really good with a baseball bat despite having only one arm to swing with.

Has stated on several occasions that her all-time favorite video game is Dark Cloud.

Member of the baseball club. If Yamaku even has such a thing.

Modified this from the half-finished CS of Fiona for a different RP, so if anything seems odd or out-of-place, please let me know :)

Gotta give him credit for creativity.

Also, in the event that I'm permitted and/or told to double up, is having more than one character of the same disability (i.e. two students missing an arm) okay? I ask because the prime candidate would probably be missing an arm if I set her for this RP.
