Ha? No, I'm joining volleyball. You could join volleyball too, you're tall enough! I think you would do well!
[Into the classroom and walking him to a seat, Oikawa pulls one out to make him sit in it instead of flop across a desk - would he really do that, is he really that tired - he pats his shoulders then.]
Or if you really want to keep doing judo, you could come to the gym at least and do your own workouts there. There's enough room, I'm sure. [Just getting him to the gym is a good start to getting him to maybe try volleyball.] Say, what's your name anyway? I'm Oikawa Tooru!

Aw, you're not even going to take a bite?
[Oikawa accepts it anyway; he already had a big paper to wrap it in so it wouldn't get totally ruined, but he will certainly be carrying it separate from the rest of what he's gathered. Still, when Iwaizumi catches his shoulder and says those three words, Oikawa can feel his shoulders relaxing just a bit. Cracking a smile, something closer to a real one than the fake bright one he's been wearing for hours, he nods a bit.]
..... Yeah. [It will. Iwai said so. That's more than enough for Oikawa to keep his head on straight.] It'll work out.

I'm sure one will turn up eventually, I'm not too worried. I just can't run like a maniac again, or you know, trip over literally everything.
[Pressing those kneepads into Yosuke's hands then and backing up to bounce the ball a handful of times, just giving an excited little grin, Oikawa waits patiently for Yosuke to be ready.]
Promise, I'll be extra careful.

[Mayu lightly shakes his head at the idea of him joining volleyball club.] I do not have the time. There is running, then practice, then reviewing, then -- there is a lot to do.
[But he still takes his seat.] That is where I will go. It will probably be safe there. Everyone going to be in one place. Either safe or easier. [For what, one wonders.] I am Mayu Nozaki. It is a pleasure to meet you.

[She's doomed to be H.Y. forever. It's sort of cool, like a secret alias :E
Yachi wonders what kind of pests those are... She doesn't like bugs, so she doesn't mind staying inside a bit longer anymore.]
R-right! You're right, let's do that.
[She's smiling, expecting Oikawa to lead the way, but the smile is a bit strained. All of this happening at once, she didn't feel like eating all that much. Her stomach felt weird, like she was so anxious she was sick-- on the other hand, maybe it felt weird because it was empty and she was actually starving?? Does she want to eat or does she want to throw up???? It all felt the same.
...Might as well find some food and see later.]

[He's moving to go pick up his phone, and on returning to flip it open and check the number - that's weird, he already has it???? Super weird.]
Whaaat, I'm totally an idol, I'm too amazing for my own good! [He downright pouts about it, one hand already working on a text - there is no safety for you Tsuki-chan. These flip phones only require him to have one thumb free to fire texts away and he is a master at this sort of phone.
(๑ゝڡ◕๑) tsuki-chan here you go now you know its meeee!!]

[Really, he's not going to let her eat anything heavy. Fruit and water are the way to go when ones really freaking out. Easily leading her along the hallways back the way he knows should lead to the cafeteria, Oikawa ends up slowing to a stop and grimacing with the way he sees that the hallway is completely different than it was earlier. Fishing in his pocket, reading over some scribbled notes, he turns around with his arm on her shoulder again to guide her into following once more.]
Ah. Made a wrong turn! [He could explain about how the hallways change, but Yachi doesn't need the added stress.] Sorry, we need to backtrack a little.

I've got Tobio-chan's, but I don't have your managers.
[Hold on he's double checking - yep, that's correct, he definitely doesn't have hers.] What's her name? [Also, this is definitely like the Tokyo arc, only it's Seijoh style.]

[Ah, excellent, names in the phone and everything now! He's flipping it shut and pocketing it, giving a thoughtful hum even while scratching his chin - Shimizu-san, what a pretty gal. It still makes him feel a little down that she totally blew him off the last time they spoke.... weh.]
I see! That's good then, having a younger manager learning the ropes now with third years graduating soon. I'm sure she will do just fine.

[She glances at the paper in Oikawa's hand from time to time, but lets herself be guided along. Mapping out the school is a good idea, she should probably do that too when she finds something to write on and put down where all the rooms are and if there's any landmarks to help her find the way around. Better than unravelling a twine of thread as she wandered and using it to find her way back home.]
It's okay, I get lost all the time too. [She looks at him reassuringly. ...is this reassuring coming from her.] Sometimes when I go shopping for groceries I take different small alleys and streets so I can't be tracked by spies, and avoid big roads where a truck might lose control and run off the road and crash into a lamp post and burst into flames right in the middle of the sidewalk. [every day's an adventure.] We'll get there eventually!

[While Oikawa's busy playing with himself, Yosuke straps his designated kneepads on, over his trousers. Playing sports...stuff in uniform is gonna be foreseeably uncomfortable, but it's not like this is a real game or anything. Oikawa's just...showing him some stuff.]
Yeah, that was uh...pretty bad. At least save that up for something really dramatic.
[Like being chased by zombies, or something. But then again, who the fuck knows what that thing was. Is? Was.]

[There might be a half-drawing of a map that she can skim, but for the most part, he's keeping the paper up out of sight because - there isn't really a whole map drawn. This place makes no sense, layout-wise, and nothing is in the same place it should be. It's come down to notes for him, how some rooms appear more frequently than others.
Chuckling lightly, smiling at the fact that she's the one trying to be reassuring, Oikawa tries to picture all that craziness happen and grins just a bit more.]
Heeeh? That sounds really exciting actually! It's like making your own adventure out of a chore that might get dull, just walking home in a straight line. You've got a creative imagination, huh?
[Funny, how even if Oikawa didn't need the reassurance, the fact that she's talking is more than helpful for both of them. She was definitely relaxing, and he was getting to know her better - considering he still can only vaguely remember her name still, haaa.]

That's... some really good, really adult advice. Thank you, Oikawa-san.
Ken's never really thought about his future too much. He'd had plenty of time to do it, just... found himself thinking of other things. It's hard sometimes to stop living in the present long enough to think about and plan for the future.
[ While Oikawa eats his apple, Ken glances toward the more normal food. ]
You're pretty brave. I mean, that apple looked normal and all, but I can't help but be suspicious. Which... probably comes with the territory of being abducted. Um... do you feel all right still?
[ Either way, Ken's positive the apple is 10000000x safer than a roach cake. ]

It's safer at least with a bunch of people in one place, than you by yourself out in a field somewhere. If you're taking a break, you can always sit over in our area just to chill out and talk with people.
[The key was getting him there, and at least just getting him to the gym didn't seem hard. Judo though, at least it's better than basketball. It doesn't take up any significant portions of the gym, or the equipment, so if he has to share with judo? Oikawa will accept it easily.]
It's good to meet you too, Nozaki-kun! Maybe while you relax here, you can make posters to hang up for your own club advertising? [It will keep him out of the hallways, right?]

Shimizu-san does seem like a wonderful teacher.
[Nodding in agreement and moving to pick up the volleyball again that he had to set aside when fetching his phone, Oikawa gives him a little grin.]
Alright, we better get on our duties, Tsuki-chan. Do try to stay out of trouble!

Heeh, okay, okay, extra promises, I'll wait until there's some death defying feat I have to pull out of nowhere.
[Bouncing the ball up higher so he can catch it instead, Oikawa holds it under one arm so he can step closer and reach to lightly arrange Yosuke's arms into a proper receiving position, once he's prepared.]
Okay, best advice I can start with is to keep your forearms straight and your thumbs flat. You won't hurt yourself by catching a hard to receive ball that way, not that I'm going to make it tough for you.

[Funny how sometimes he honestly does give good advice; he always thinks his advice is good, but someone actually saying so was a really nice bonus he didn't expect to hear. Giving Ken a brighter smile, then chuckling and tossing that apple core into a trash bin, he's reaching to pick up another and offer it over.]
Well, I've been trying to stick to things that look simple. It's filling, but hard to mess with. I feel just fine, so I'm sure most of the food is okay, if not weird looking. [Apples are 900000000000000000000000000000000000000x safer than a roach cake. Who the hell eats the roach cake?] Either way, I don't think we would be brought here just to get poisoned during lunch. Seems like a waste of effort, and we'd see more sick people.

[ Although Ken takes the apple, he can't help but give it a suspicious frown. ]
Mm, you have a point. But it could always be a slow-acting poison, you know? Or maybe only some of the food's poisoned.
[ Like the roach cake, for instance. ]
Like a survival of the fittest kind of challenge. Or rather, survival of the best poison detectors. Either way, it'd be a really crappy thing to gather up a bunch of people just to poison them to death and then... I don't know, do whatever villains do with a bunch of dead bodies. I mean, it's bad enough we're all stuck here.
[ He turns the apple in his hands to get a good view of each angle. It... it seems normal. ]
I'm sorry. I'm being way too paranoid, aren't I?
[ Oikawa ate one, so he can eat one too. He's not going to be afraid of an apple of all things. Munch. Well, it... tastes normal. That's a pretty big relief. Phew! ]
