Office Hours--Divinations

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

Kusuriyuri decided it had been long enough since he had opened his office. There were other factors influencing this decision, but a good part of it was he felt he was neglecting his duty.

Outside his office door and several other places around the school, signs appeared declaring the Divinations office open for any students who wished to talk, to consult, or who just happened to wander by.

Kusuriyuri knelt behind his table, shincha brewing as it was the season for it, waiting for any who would come in, wondering if a particular one would come in.

OOC: Yeah, this is a 'trap' for a particular character, but is also regular office hours. And, if you're particularly interested in a type of divination or anything else you'd like to see Kusu teach, feel free to mention it :D

China took a deep, steadying breath. 'It's about a thing called Apos.' Her demeanor softened and she looked down at her lap. 'I had a bit of a run in with him/her a while back. During my sorting. It tried to rape me, and probably would have succeeded if it wasn't for this winged-man.' Her eyes narrowed. 'At some level I'm disgusted in myself, but my anger for Apos seems to be smothering that out. Which is to say, to me, that seems bizarre. You hear a lot about how rape, or near rape, victims have a resigned, withdrawn view of their attacker. Some do speak out. But me? I want revenge.' China chuckled without humour. 'Revenge, how vulgar,' she muttered.

"This one is aware of the one called Apos. He also is aware of only one that is winged." Apos didn't count in this case, obviously. "This one does not know what the 'right' response is, though it should be one that does not cause regret. From what this one has heard, though, the infliction of pain for that one is viewed as a reward."

China nodded, if not a bit vaguely. After a moment she looked back at Kusuriyuri. 'Thank you.' she nodded. China rose, a bit unsteadily as she had to gauge herself with the--perhaps--too revealing dress. After dusting herself off of minute dust and hair particulates, she addressed Kusuriyuri once more. 'I guess such a decision is one in need of pondering. Before I resign myself to anything brash, I have to weigh the pros and cons. You have been of help, sir. If not a bit complex in your vernacular. Thank you, again. Now, before I take up much more of your time, I'll be going.' China gave a little bow and, collecting her stilettos in her manicured hand, left the office with cogs and gears working and grinding against each other in her mind.
