[attr="class","bmsk"] in blackest night... The morning air was brisk enough to light Jun's lungs on fire. It hadn't been long since the incident at sea, and the burns from tanking a literal bolt of lightning were still present on her chest. She had done whatever she could to keep the incident from circulating throughout the school since...well, she technically died for about five minutes, and she didn't want to put that worry on anyone else. Which failed incredibly because of how news traveled and because she couldn't keep her trap shut. Wincing, she'd slow down and kneel over to catch her breath, panting heavily as she clamped her eyes shut. On top of all the worry she was getting from her classmates, it didn't help that her mother was demanding she come home. It was something that, while she could have easily done so, she didn't want to do. She had flung herself onto this path, and on this path she was going to stay. All that mattered to her more than anything else was getting back to a hundred percent and keeping Kaida from flying off the handle needlessly; her senpai was already on edge around her, and there wasn't anything that Jun could do to take away that guilt.

"... hey, you alright?"

A set of light footsteps stopped nearby, just out of sight from where Jun was bent over. They approached, putting cheap sneakers into view- ankle socks, runner's legs. If and when she looked up, she'd find a redheaded girl peering at her. Not- worriedly, or curiously, exactly, but... searchingly, perhaps. "You didn't look like you were running all that hard, and you're clearly in shape otherwise- is something wrong? I can call for the infirmary if you need help with something."

Miroru wasn't really sure what to make of the other student seeming so completely winded by the rather tame pace she'd been on before Miroru caught up due to her pause. There was, in all likelihood, a perfectly reasonable explanation, it just wasn't one she had access to, so she was reduced to asking, and making sure her classmate- or, statistically more likely, her senpai- was alright before she moved on.

[attr="class","bmsk"] in blackest night... Jun forced herself to stand up straight, taking in a sharp breath as she took in the nearby concerned party. It was happening way too frequently, maybe she should try to put a sign up on her back that says, "This person is A-Okay! No need to check up on them!" Granted, that'd be like a billboard advertising...whatever's popular these days. Potatoes are popular, right? Jun gave the girl a weak smile, as well as a thumbs up. "Just fine, thanks," she says, despite the fact everything hurt. She had been pushing herself hard lately, and not getting much done. Schoolwork was caught up on, but she couldn't just neglect her training. Not anymore at least. "Just...had an accident, trying to power through it is all. You don't gotta worry about me, or get the nurse out here. Honestly, trying to get her off my back...you uh, new here? Haven't seen you around before." While it was appreciated at least that someone had checked up on her, this girl was someone Jun hadn't met before. She had a sense of deja vu, but just shrugged it off; had to be a freshman, which meant that she'd get the opportunity to mentor an incoming student. That was always exciting! Miroru

"Hmm... if you say so. You don't seem very fine. Is this like, the four letter fine? Frantic, insecure, neurotic, emotional- are you being secretly observed for signs of burn out? You can just blink it out. How many letters are you at? Three? Four?" It was a bit of a tease, but a smile tended to help people step past whatever blocks were hindering their ability to enjoy their day, and that weak smile wasn't doing the girl any good.

"An accident, huh? Well- that sucks, but for whatever a stranger's approval is worth, I'm proud of you for toughing it out. And yeah, super new. I'm Miroru. Who're you?" It was kinda rude to introduce herself with her personal name only, but her family, so far as she cared, could jump off a cliff. Politeness was just collateral damage.

[attr="class","bmsk"] in blackest night... She blinked. "...Letters? What do letters have to do with...nevermind," she shakes her head, wincing again as she put her arms out, stretching out a little. This girl was definitely weird...but then again, Jun was like a magnet for weird people. If it ever stops then Jun might have to be a little worried. "I don't have much of a choice in toughing it out. It's either you power through it or you get left behind out here," she says, slowly letting out a breath. "Junsuina Kanjo, UA's resident emotional wreck. It's nice to meet you." Jun would give Miroru a light bow, keeping her eyes on the girl and not going down all the way; that wasn't going to be possible. "Care to join me then? You look ready to go, and I'd hate to keep you from your rounds." She'd turn to begin running again, against the protestations of her legs. And arms. And her core. Miroru

"Letters. Fine can be an acronym for frantic, insecure, neurotic, and emotional. Especially since people say "I'm fine" all the time when they're like. Screaming inside that they're anything but. I like the acronym approach cuz it's out there enough to get people to think a little less about what's bothering them for a minute."

The redhead looked at the path with the various classmates exercising, and back to Jun. "Is it that intense? I thought there'd be a bigger focus on developing as a group and helping each other pull through. An individual focus is a pretty bad move holistically. Pretty sure that's how people get into the competitive heroics mindset where ratings and sponsorships matter more than collars and lives saved."

She perked up at the invite and introduction, though. "Junsuina. That's a nice name. Emotional wreck, though? Like. More so than physically?" Invite, Miroru. "Oh! Yes, I'd be happy to jog and chat," she agreed, following along at an easy pace.

[attr="class","bmsk"] in blackest night... She stood there, processing for a moment before letting out an, "oh". She was supposed to be able to deduce things like that, but she didn't catch it in time. "Well, uh...I'm fine. Really..." Yeah, that was convincing. To try and get past the awkward pause and realization Jun picked up her feet, beginning to take up a pace again. "Never said UA was the greatest at getting people to play nice. Teamwork is emphasized, but how many people want to actually work together? And in this day and age, people still are out to claim their slice of glory or fame..." She winced, turning her head to cough a little as she slowed down a little, almost immediately gritting her teeth as she pushed herself through the pain. "Narrow minded, those people are...I unfortunately know one of them." The locomotion was starting to get to her again, but she pushed away the pain. Everything was yet again on fire, but she was determined to not show weakness. Miroru

"... okay. I'll try to take your word on it, but you're making it pretty hard to buy that story, y'know," Miroru admitted. "But really, don't sweat the acronym bit. It doesn't always work out the way I hope. Not a big deal."

As Jun talked, Miroru listened in. "Yeah. I got that impression. Not how I plan to do things. I'm sort of- I dunno. Feeling around for the people that feel like we'd all do better if we built each other up and relied on each other. I want to prove that the lone gunman style of heroism is inefficient and dangerous."

A grimace crossed Miroru's expression as they mentioned knowing someone narrow minded. "Is that why you had an accident? Someone get a little too enthusiastic, or a little too careless? All this work to make it back to where you were due to someone not caring enough to watch how they hit you?"

[attr="class","bmsk"] in blackest night... Clearing her throat, she took in a lungful of air and slowly let it out over the course of ten seconds, which did not help things in the slightest. "No, this is from something different. I'm talking about someone that I'm pretty sure is dating my roommate," she says, trying her best to get her breathing into some sort of cadence so she wasn't killing herself slowly. "You got some interesting ideas, Miroru," she says, glancing over. "But it's unfortunately not going to happen overnight. There's a lot of egos out there, and not many who are willing to give up power or share the spotlight. I guess you have a plan?" She'd normally be much more open minded and willing to talk about things like this, but her own competitive spirit was getting the better of her in the moment. It didn't help that she was still in the process of powering through something very painful. Miroru

"That's honestly a relief. I'd be really unhappy if it seemed like you had been hurt that bad by a classmate with that sort of attitude. I've got- more experience with that outlook than I should, and worlds less patience than I've been told I ought to for people behaving that way," Miroru stated simply. She kept their pace gentle enough for Jun to find her own stride while they spoke.

"Dating your- oh. Man, that's... tangled. Hard to get a handle on a relationship that's not even yours. Sorta like the worst sort of contact high. Stuck with the roommate, which means stuck with the egomaniac. Who are we talking about? Can I ask?"

Overnight. No. It wouldn't. "Of course not. It's gonna take time, and a lot of it. And results. Nobody is gonna listen to someone bitching about a system considered to work well enough if you can't offer a replacement that works in enough of a superior fashion to be worth the work to switch over. So as far as a plan, it's more like a battle strategy. Connect with the likeminded. Support the worthwhile. And build a network of heroes that support each other and serve the people instead of the glorified rat's nest of talking heads and celebrity soldiers we have now. That's the plan."

[attr="class","bmsk"] in blackest night... Jun gave a dismissive wave, panting a little as she forced herself to go just a little faster. "Some other second year. Goes by Gen. Give it time, you'll learn about him." She had poor opinions about him, but with how much he mouthed off she tried her best to hold back. Given enough time he'll learn that it would be better to make connections with his peers over burning bridges...but as slim a hope as it was she had her doubts. She'd argue that his relationship with Ana might temper him a little, but at the same time...she saw no change. "Honestly, that's a plan I can get behind," she says. "Dunno...dunno how well it'd work out, but couldn't hurt to try, yeah? You gonna...set up here after graduation?" The world start to spin a bit, and despite pushing herself a second ago she started to slow down to allow her body to catch up with what her mind was pushing her to do. Miroru

"Gen. Okay. And- another second year? So you're a sophomore, then? Good to meet you, senpai," Miroru offered comfortably, pleased to have made what seemed to be a positive connection with an upperclassman. "You think it's inevitable that I'm gonna hear about him? Is he notorious or something?"

"Well, that's the nice thing about the plan. You know what happens if it doesn't change the world? We still got a network of positive workers ready to help the world change when the time comes. It's not an all or nothing, it builds a foundation that is itself useful and beneficial, and still further supports change for the better. See? It's a great idea!"

Miroru slowed with Jun, tilting her head. "You mean set up here in Tokyo, or set up here at UA? You think like as a teacher?" That begged a question. "I wonder if it'd be more effective to find people to lead as role models in the field, or to help make sure we're building up strong positive models in the first place..." She resisted the urge to check Jun to see if she was still alright. She didn't seem to want to be coddled.

[attr="class","bmsk"] in blackest night... Senpai. That was something that did make her stop. Well, trip would be a better word. She'd fall face first down on the track, letting out a pained noise over not just scraping the end of her nose but also the sudden unbearable pain exploding across her chest. She turned over on her back, gulping air as she gripped her chest with one hand, realizing that the sky was spinning. How? She didn't know, but the fact that someone just called her senpai was shocking and surprising all at once. "That's...uh...um...I-I meant like where would you consider setting up an agency. You know, you're doing something that'd got to stand for something, do you start small and move to one of the districts outside the capital and move in, or do you start here and try to win hearts and minds in the very center of the nation?" In truth, Jun didn't know how viable that was. She was all for putting forward a good foot and to be that inspiration that people needed, just...wasn't sure how well an actual movement would go. It'd be nice to see for sure... Miroru

"JUN-SAN!" Miroru squeaked! "Oh gosh what happened are you okay?!" She called out, hurrying back to Jun with a horrified look on her face, moving to help her roll over. "Don't worry about that, that was an awful fall and you look like you're hurting real bad! Or- do you want a distraction..?" The redhead seemed torn, but tried to do as asked. "Um... I wasn't thinking of an agency yet. I didn't necessarily think people would follow me like that. I'd sort of figured if I helped people have the right mindset, they'd form up together of their own accord and probably start an agency or two on their own..?"

The redhead glanced at the school and frowned faintly. "I'm not sure if I'd be much of a teacher. I feel like I'd lose my patience a lot. And if they keep enrolling jerks, I'd probably make a nuisance of myself trying to discipline them into being less... jerkish," she admitted.

"How bad does it hurt..?"

[attr="class","bmsk"] in blackest night... "It's just...no one's really called me that before...yet? Yet. No one's called me senpai." She forced herself to sit up, wincing. "I'm fine, just...need a minute. Maybe I'm pushing myself too hard...um. Well...anyways..." She'd pull her feet under her, kneeling on the track as she faced Miroru. "I guess we all have to start somewhere. But if you're going to go on this path, then know that you're not alone." She looked down at her ring, frowning. "I'm not in this for the fame or fortune. I could care less about any of that. My family has a tradition of service, and...well, I'm trying to fulfill that in my own way.." She sighed, wincing. "And I'm in excruciating pain. Just don't force me to go see the nurse, I've been by there three times now this week and I can't afford to be there another minute." She'd force herself to her feet, her legs being compliant but her chest not. It was a little frustrating. Miroru
