Hello Officer Adachi. My name is Rinka. I have some questions. What exactly would the Junior Security Club entail? I don't think there are many crimes on the school grounds. Perhaps there are some petty thefts and occasional fist fight. Would we directly intervene in situation like that or merely provide crowd control?

[denialism]

Hi, Rinka! Nice to meet you. Great questions! Thanks for the interest. [He nods, as if he too is very interested.]

Here's the fun part. Since we're just starting the Junior Security Club, you'll get to have a say in how it develops.

You're right, there aren't many dramatic crimes. No murder or anything like that, but students do break the regulations, which can cause problems.

[Basically: it's really, really, really boring.]

And there's trouble from humans sometimes, so we've got to watch out for that. And look out for the younger kids. You know, there are a lot of little things to do to make the school work great, that most people never think about! It's not all glamorous. But it's got to be done.

[He's supposed to encourage people to join, so he's kind of doing that, but he also wants to discourage them as well. Because this sounds like a real pain.]

[psykick]

[Rinka listens, her expression attentive. But she doesn't seem to be put off by the potential for things to be boring. She tucks a lock of light brown hair behind one ear and nods in agreement. Though she looks almost waifishly slender, there's a seriousness to her gaze.]

I'm not interested because of any prestige that it might bring. I just want to help keep everyone here safe. If there are individuals causing a commotion, it can make it difficult for students to learn.

[denialism]

[Adachi nods, enthusiastically.]

Good, because prestige is one thing you won't get.

[He laughs, self-deprecatingly. Just a little campus security humor. But they do get seen as killjoys. Ah well...]

And great! You seem like just our kind of man. Er—woman.

That's what we're here for. A lot of people think, if someone's playing their music too loud, or they sneak out to hang around somewhere they're not supposed to be—oh, it's no big deal! But actions have consequences.

[Apparently.]

Not that I like to bring up unpleasant things ... but it can be dangerous here. More than other schools. We've got to be prepared!

[psykick]

[A hint of a smile tugs at Rinka's lips. She's not unfamiliar with dangerous situations. Though she still wishes Kyotaro had come with her to Xavier's. They made a good team. But maybe there were students here whom she would be able to work together with.]

I am not afraid of danger. There were some... incidents in Tokyo before I came here. It is important to defend the students. That is why I came to Xavier's, so I could learn to use my power to help people.

[denialism]

Oh, you're from Tokyo? I'm from Inaba. Ah, you've probably never heard of it.

[He makes no mention of any incidents in Inaba.]

Right, that's what we're here for! To tell you the truth, it probably won't be anything so flashy as defending everybody.

[If the school's last line of defense is ever Security, they're screwed, in Adachi's opinion. Yet he brightens briefly.]

But we do patrol the campus, and we're trained in emergency response.

[Any brightness is short-lived.]

It's mostly people sneaking out and trying to hang out where they're not supposed to. Bringing in things they're not supposed to have, misusing powers, silly pranks. Stuff like that.

[psykick]

[Rinks thinks for a moment, but she's never even been outside of Tokyo until now. So while she does remember a story from her childhood about a rabbit from Inaba, or something like that, she can't recall ever hearing of a town by that name.]

I haven't heard of it, sorry. But I don't know most places outside of Tokyo.

[Rinka finally catches on that this is basically just a hall monitor position, but she's okay with that. What her and her friends had been up to in Tokyo was pretty much acting like the hall monitors for the city, at least in relation to people misusing their powers. This would be similar, just in a smaller scale.]

We had a similar position at my previous school. But I had a part-time job, so I had no time for clubs or meetings. I want to join a club here though, especially one where I can be helpful.

Would we patrol every day of would we take turns?

[denialism]

I didn't think you would. It's basically nowhere.

[Though maybe if she did know it, she'd know about him. So it's better like this.]

Great, great!

[Oh wait, no, someone is actually joining his club, which means he will have to do a thing. Yet he can't directly discourage this from happening.

And it's true, he tried to make it sound more fun, but it is basically a hall monitor club.]

You've got experience and everything, that's more than I expected! And that's the thing. Like I said, we're starting this club up now, so you'll get to be one of the founding members who sorts this kind of thing out. Cool, huh?

And as long as it doesn't interfere with your studies, every day, every few days... whichever you want.

[He's so organized and decisive.]

[psykick]

[Face it Adachi, you're SOL. Don't worry, you can probably dump most of the paperwork on the students.]

I have just one more question then. Will we be allowed to carry weapons while on duty?

[She rummages off-camera for a moment before producing a pair of hooked police batons. From their battered appearance, they've seen some use.]

My father taught me how to use these, though I can use a straight stick in a pinch if they'd be considered too intimidating.

[denialism]

[He is often SOL. But usually, he's not good at motivating people to do things, so this is perplexing. Why would anyone want to join such a lame club?]

Weapons? Well— ah.

[He looks at her batons. He didn't actually ask about weapons like that. He's mostly concerned about guns.]

Those should be okay! I'll see what I can do, I'll ask my chief about it, make sure he knows you know what you're doing.

[The more weapons, the better, in Adachi's opinion.]

[psykick]

[Rinka smiles brightly. It perhaps wouldn't be quite as exciting as teleporting around Tokyo with Kyotaro, but at least she will be doing something useful here. Not that going to classes wasn't useful. She just wanted to be helpful.]

Thank you, Officer Adachi. I look forward to working with you.
