Aegis Monster Hunter Academy

Back in the 1980s, drilling for oil grew too extensive and too deep. Humanity started breaching ancient caverns miles below the Earth's surface. They weren't uninhabited caves either. This extensive cave network was the home of unknowable numbers of massively beasts who now regularly escaped to and rampaged across the surface.
Some of the beasts were not hostile, though. They wanted to protect the surface world, and found the best way to do so was to symbiotically bond with humans, combining the deadly power of the depths with the agile minds of humanity. People who took these creatures into their own bodies became Hosts, and they were the only hope humanity had int protecting themselves.
As most people who become hosts did so at a relatively young age, though, they still have to go to school. To learn how to control their newfound powers AND to learn how to be a productive member of society. YOU are such a Host, and YOU have been accepted in the best school in the world for Hosts:
AEGIS MONSTER HUNTER ACADEMY

Set on the Japanese coast, a few miles south of Tokyo Japan, Aegis is a marvel of modern architecture and a beacon of hope to the nation. It includes on campus housing for student, state of the art training facilities, and is practically a self contained town in and of itself. Kohaku Yuhara is just now becoming a first year student here. What adventures will the new kid have?
Possible thread hooks
- It's orientation day! Time for everyone to figure out where their classes are going to be and meet their classmates/roommates
- It's T-T-T-TIME TO DUEL! As graduates from Aegis are expected to be badass monster hunters, getting some combat experience is a must. That means it is accepted policy for students to resolve differences via public duels
- Combat training! This time it's not against each other, but against simulated monsters. How well do you work as a team?
- Class! This teacher is boring and never stops talking. Exchange whispered conversations. Pass notes. Doodle in the margins of your notebook.
- Day off! A good time to catch up on your studies/training, or to go and actually relax! Read a book! Go for a walk! Watch a movie! Go on a date!
- Or anything else you can think of.

"H-hey, that's my hand!" In the new timeline, Jane retracts her hand back to normal length, looking a little dejected. "Listen, I mean, it didn't look like you were touching your food, so I was gonna take it off your hands for ya. That's not so bad, right?"
So... Modeseven, huh? interesting choice
Date: 2016-07-01 04:46 am (UTC)"I don't know if I would say that. Just because we aren't touching it yet doesn't mean we aren't about to. In fact, it's actually quite rude to take the food off of someone else's plate without proper consent. If I were anyone else, why I might have accidentally pulled the trigger~!" Spoken as if she hadn't honestly been considering doing that and just leaving the remains to be sorted out by the faculty. "You're lucky that was the first time this happened, and I caught you before you could make someone REALLY mad."
Suddenly, Jane will find Shogo right up in her face. "Which is why I'll let this slide so long as you NEVER TOUCH MY FOOD AGAIN. Do that, and it'll be like this never happened, okay?" Her tone was sweet, almost angelic, but it did nothing to actually match the air around her, nor the fact that the shotgun was still pointed at Jane.
it was the best representation of "weird stretchy foreign exchange student" i could find
Date: 2016-07-01 04:54 am (UTC).... further blank staring. There's either a lot or nothing going on in this girl's mind. At least she seems to be listening to Shogo's spiel. "Wouldn'ta been a big deal if you had blown my hand off, anyway. Woulda just made a new one. But I won't touch your food again, promise!" Her expression and her mannerisms show that she just... doesn't seem to care about Shogo's grandstanding and threatening mannerisms, just taking everything at face value.
Unstoppable force, meet immovable object.
Well, I can't fault you for that, though I hadn't realized there were actually SFW pictures of them
Date: 2016-07-01 05:08 am (UTC)"Say, are you going to eat ALL those rice balls?" Please say no, please say no, please say no!
careful scrounging and creative cropping, my friend.
Date: 2016-07-01 05:40 am (UTC)Her entire lunch is rice balls. Like, a dozen of them. And she was planning on stealing more (well, she did but that timeline is dead now). So.
"Yeah? That's my lunch. I thought it was rude to steal other people's lunches before they were done with them."
