Meeting Classmates [Katsuo Esper]

[Kenji Namikaze]

Kenji walked into the cafeteria now his shoulder backpack on. His deck was safely tucked away in his little frog wallet in his right front pocket. He has always had his duel disk and deck on hand in case someone was itching to duel. He liked to believe duelists could understand each other better through duels. Wasn't that the point of dueling? To have fun and make friends along the way. Course some people were just the loner type like Takashi and only sought to duel for a purpose that was beyond his understanding. He didn't care though he dueled for fun and friendship unless it was a tournament. Then all bets were off whether they were friends or not.

"Not many people in here huh. Suppose that's because classes haven't really started yet. It would be nice to make at least one friend now." Glancing around he spotted like a few osiris red students. They were already chatting so he figured he shouldn't bug them. He sat down at a table by himself now and pulled out his frog wallet opening it to pull out his deck now. He always spent a little time each day looking through it. Making sure every card was there especially his kyubi card. Even if his duel spirit companion was annoying he still enjoyed his company somewhat. He was probably napping now so he wouldn't want to be disturbed right now. He then chuckled lightly and opened his shoulder backpack pulling out his duel disk now proceeding to examint it closely now to make sure it was workign properly.

[Katsuo Esper]

"Where to sit..." Katsuo murmured, holding a grilled ham and turkey sandwich he made in the Osiris Red Kitchen. Usually, the head teacher of the Osiris dorm manned it, but only during dinner time. if any Osiris wanted to eat during that time, they would have to fend for themselves.

And to ensure that people didn't go to it and snack on random things, everything was frozen, requiring some cooking skill to prepare it properly. This was, somehow, an easy feat for Katsuo. Many times he was called upon by his rather evil father to cook when his mother could not.

He spotted another Osiris Red, sitting alone. "I suppose it couldn't hurt.." Katsuo decided, going and taking a seat across from Kenji. "Hey. Are you a first year, like me?" Katsuo started off, with what was probably a weak conversation starter.

"I'm Katsuo, by the way. Katsuo Esper. No one important." He finally introduced himself, as Baby Tiragon, his Duel Spirit that he never really was aware of, appeared from behind his shoulder and greeted Kenji as well by waving it's tiny paw.

[Kenji Namikaze]

Kenji was looking through his cards when he felt someone sit down. Looking up he found it was a fellow osiris red classmate. At his question he simply nodded and sets his cards down now. "I am a first years yes," Kenji simply replied. Smiling sheepishly he ran a hand through his hair now. He was silent as the boy introduced himself at Katsuo Esper ignoring the last bit about not being important. He seemed to lack confidence or maybe he was just one of those socially awkward types. He never had that problem he was usually pretty open and forward with most.

"Kenji. Kenji Namikaze." Kenji blinked seeing the Duel Spirit appear now. When he waved at Kenji he simply chuckled and waved back. Then he turned back to face Katsuo again. "I take it your a first year too then? Seems like we're fellow classmates then." That was stating the obvious but he was just trying to make conversation. He then picked up his duel disk and flipped it back over again. Everything was in working order it seemed. Seeing his sandwich now Kenji's own stomach then lightly grumbled. He had momentarily forgotten he had come to eat here after all. Perhaps after he was done with Katsuo here he would go actually eat something. He wondered if they had ramen available.

[Katsuo Esper]

"Yep, seems so." Katsuo agreed, but perplexed what Kenji was waving at. Perhaps some Osiris students behind him? He decided not to ask, still completely unawares of the spirit that had been with him all this time since he had left for Duel Academy.

And then, he heard a growl. "Hungry? They kinda don't start serving lunch until around noon and dinner at about six. For the lowest ranking dorm though, they do keep the kitchen stocked though, but mostly with frozen meat. Do you know how to cook? If not, I can probably make you something." Katsuo offered, taking another bite of his grilled, steamy hot ham and turkey sandwich.

[Kenji Namikaze]

Kenji blinked when Katsuo seemed preplexed by his wave to his Duel Spirit. Did he not know it existed or something? He had always known about the Kyubi since first meeting him. Most would've thought they were crazy or hallucinating but not him. He had taken a liking to the little nine tails fox like a little pet. "Well that's a relief. Hopefully we can become friends then." He smiled sheepishly patting his duel disk affectionately now. It was at this moment that Kyubi appeared sitting on Kenji's left shoulder now. He had been awoken by the conversation and wondered what it was all about. Seeing the other duel spirit he simply huffed and looked away now.

'Weakling,' Kyubi muttered to himself now. Kenji ignored him simply waving him off though to Katsuo it probably looked like he was dusting his shoulder off. At Katsuo's question he looked over to him again. He then smiled sheepishly scratching the back of his neck now. "Guess I am. I'm not that great at cooking mostly but I do know how to make miso pork ramen. That's my favorite food man. Ichiraku ramen is the best in town where I come from." The Ramen Kid. Another nickname he had earned from his frequent visits to the noodle shop back home. He shrugged off Katsuo's offer to make him something.

"I'll grab some ramen later dude." He then glanced around spotting a girl. He blushed lightly only to look away when she got up briefly glancing at him before leaving. He then looked down at his duel disk and patted it a few times. "I can't wait to get my game on around here. That's how you really find out what someone is like in my opinion." Maybe he'd duel Katsuo later. Then he might grasp what the guy was really like. Kenji himself was pretty open so dueling or not he was pretty easy to read unless it involved a girl. Then he was sorta oblivious to the subject but he didn't care he'd worry about that when a girl actually noticed him or bothered to talk and ask him out.

[Katsuo Esper]

"Alright then. I'm at dorm 103 if you want to stop by sometime for studying or something." Katsuo mentioned, eating the rest of his sandwich in a few fell chomps. Baby Tiragon, Katsuo's duel spirit, only looked at the Kyubi that puffed at him. It tilted it's head slightly, as if it couldn't understand the rather aggressive feelings towards it, but it waved at the nine tailed fox regardless in large arcs.

"If you want to duel someone, you can try the arenas in the main building. They got a lot of them, and I'm sure people would love to find an opponent there to show off in front of everyone. Oh, and you can probably find some instant ramen in the student store. They sell just about everything there." Katsuo suggested, wiping his mouth with his sleeve, as if there was anything remaining from the sandwich he just ate. There wasn't.

"Anyways, I'm going to tour the island. See ya." Katsuo Bid farewell, along with his duel spirit that flew around the short Osiris Red in wide circles, waving goodbye at both Kenji and Kyubi, regardless if they could see him or not.

[Kenji Namikaze]

"Sure I'll make sure to do that sometime," Kenji simply replied now. Kenji blinked as he finished his sandwich off now. He must've been pretty hungry cause t hadn't taken him long to eat it. Kyubi simply blinked as the other duel spirit waved at him again and laid down closing his eyes again showing he wasn't interested in him at all. He looked up as Katsuo spoke now about where he could duel if he wanted to and told him also where he could get some ramen. "Thanks man I'll remember that for sure. I'll make sure to stock up on some ramen for sure." He then watched as Katsuo stood now and mentioned leaving to tour the island.

"Hm I think I might do that too later or go into town at least." He then waved again at the duel spirit while the Kyubi simply eyed it as both left now. He then slipped his deck back into's case before sticking it back in his frog wallet now. Then he stuck it in his pocket before grabbing his duel disk shoving into his backpack now. Then he picked it up and walked out headed for the student store. After buying some things there he'd head out to tour the island or visit the city whichever he decided on when that time came. The Kyubi simply floated after him not really caring what he did. He'd just watch over him and keep his butt out of trouble unless it was duel.
