[Well, DR, there looks like there's a new Kirino around-- one of a different variety though. You might spot him poking through the hallways with a scowl.]

You have got to be kidding me.

[kaminotakuto]

[He'd know that head of pink hair anywhere so once he spots it, Shindou runs up to his friend not suspecting anything is out of the ordinary.]

Kirino!

[manipulativemist]

[Did someone just call his name? Kirino turns to look, but the person he sees... well, it's not one he recognizes. He raises an eyebrow, crossing his arms.]

... Who are you.

[kaminotakuto]

[That gives him pause.]

It's Shindou... Is something wrong?

[manipulativemist]

[He frowns, suspicious. Who was this weird kid?]

I don't know anyone by that name.

[kaminotakuto]

[Yeah, something is definitely wrong. How can Kirino not know him?]

But we're friends and we're on the same soccer team.

[manipulativemist]

Unless you just transferred into Mannouzaka, I'm highly inclined to believe we're neither.

Now quit screwing around. Who are you and how do you know my name?

[kaminotakuto]

Mannouzaka...? But you attend Raimon.

[He is so, so confused right now.]

[manipulativemist]

Yeah, right. I thought I told you to stop screwing around.

[kaminotakuto]

I'm not. Why would I do that? You're my best friend and I wouldn't lie about something like that.

[manipulativemist]

I don't have any friends.

[kaminotakuto]

...What?

[Because really, what can he say to that? His best friend just told him that he doesn't have any friends.]

'sup I'm new take care of me (´･ω･`)

[huntersnet]

Senpai!

[ KIRINO WAIT KARIYA HAS SOME HOMEWORK HE'S STUCK ON-- ]

[manipulativemist]

[Turning around--why do these people keep talking like they know him?!

Well, Kirino's displeased look at so many strangers who apparently know him is evident on his face.]

[huntersnet]

[ Kariya freezes at the expression. ]

Yikes, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

[manipulativemist]

[The glare softens, but only slightly. Kirino's just giving this kid a scrutinizing look now.

Do take note of the clearly-not-Raimon uniform that Kirino's wearing.]

[huntersnet]

What.

[ Oh wait why isn't he wearing his Raimon uniform. ]

...You know, captain is going to kill you if you don't put your uniform back on.

[manipulativemist]

This is my uniform.

[A long pause.]

... oh. You must be another who apparently thinks I attend Raimon.

[huntersnet]

You mean you don't?

[ Wow this is awkward did he accidentally speak to Kirino-senpai's brother or something by accident or.... nnnn this is really confusing. ]

Then who are you?

[manipulativemist]

Kirino Ranmaru. I attend Mannouzaka.

... And who are you?

[huntersnet]

[ ...his brain has stopped functioning. ]

K- K- Kariya. Kariya Masaki. I'm, er, from Raimon.

[ ...staring at you really hard right now. ]

[manipulativemist]

Raimon... I see.

[Another scrutinizing stare.] ... I don't believe you were on the team when my school faced yours. I'm pretty sure I'd remember a face like yours.

[huntersnet]

Yeah, well, I transferred here earlier in the year.

I don't remember ever playing against Mannouzaka in my time here, so fair's fair.

[manipulativemist]

[That earns a nod and nothing else.]

[huntersnet]

[ ...what did he come here for-- Oh yeah! ]

Can you help me with my homework anyway?

[manipulativemist]

I guess? What do you need help with?

[This is weird, normally kids from other schools back off when they learn another kid is from Mannouzaka.]
