Tall Elf

[ghost_writer]

I went to the mall today to do some Christmas shopping. It was very busy and a couple of people bumped into me. There were many families who brought their children to see Santa. Santa's helpers were dressed as elves. I thought elves were supposed to be small, but one was very tall. Murasakibara-kun was that you?

[ ooc: actually on Mura's shift both elves are extremely tall. Inui is on with him and he's 201cm haha XD So it's even weirder! Not that your character would know him, but just thought I'd chime in with that! XD haha ]

[ooc: lol I didn't realize. Inui could introduce himself, if he'd like? Kuroko just assumed it was Murasakibara, but it could've been Inui~]

[ ooc: haha he could too. ]

If it was when Murasakibara was on shift it could have been either one of us. We are both above 200cm and were on shift together. Did you wait in line to see Santa?

I did not intentionally wait for Santa, but one of the mother's assumed I was a child due to my size and pushed me into the line. It took me a moment to slip away, but I saw one of the elves from a distance. I assumed it was Murasakibara-kun because he is so tall. I don't believe we've met. I'm Kuroko Tetsuya. What's your name?

[kanzenkakuritsu]

Inui Sadaharu. No, we haven't. I only just got to Toyama.

Welcome to Toyama. I'm in my first year studying literature at Johoga. What are you studying?

[kanzenkakuritsu]

Sports science at Shiratai. You go to the same school as my friend, Sanada.

I've also always been bad with literature. It was difficult to understand. Nothing ever seemed to get to the point in a concise or efficient way. It was also often vague. I commend you on your ability to handle such difficult subject matter. I definitely could not.

You know Sanada-senpai? He helped me before when I was in trouble. I hope he's doing well considering what happened.

Your observations about literature are accurate. But those reasons are exactly what attracted me to it. Sports science is also a very difficult field. I play basketball, so I appreciate anyone who decides to study that.

I was on a rival tennis team to his some time ago. We have only recently become friends, however. He is the type of person that will help anyone if they're in trouble. I am glad he was in a position to help you.

There are quite a lot of basketball players in Toyama, I've noticed. No wonder Momoi-san has her hands full training them.

[mukkunsnack]

Mm, maybe. I think I saw you, but then I couldn't move to see if it had really been you because a lot of children wanted to climb me. I say I was an else and not a tree, but they thought it was funny and continued.

[momoiroheart]

Aw you should have told me Tetsu-kun! I would have loved to go shopping with you. And to catch Mukkun too~ I'll have to try to see him another time.

[ghost_writer]

Your friends with Satsuki-chan too? I'm surprised we haven't met yet. I look forward to meeting you in person.

[ghost_writer]

It sounds like being an elf is a difficult job. Do you enjoy working with children?

[ghost_writer]

We can still go together if you like. But it's probably best that you didn't go with me this time. Christmas presents are supposed to be a surprise.

[kanzenkakuritsu]

Ah. She hasn't said I am her friend. I wouldn't be so presumptuous. We met at a bookstore and wanted the same data analysis book. She gave it to me on the proviso that I give it to her when I'm done and that she gets to a) see the results of my training and b) do a full assessment of my physical capabilities.

[momoiroheart]

You were getting a present for me? Now I'm just so excited! But maybe we can go shopping for the others together.

[mukkunsnack]

They are small and annoying, but I don't mind it so much. Why?

[ghost_writer]

I enjoy being around children, but I didn't know that you did as well.
