the price of bad acting.
Ever notice how a school has serious creep potential after hours?
I've heard opinions that it's because you're someplace that you associate with lots of people going about their business, and they suddenly _aren't_.
Creep out by contrast?
Usually, I consider that sort of thing to be calming rather than anything else, but here and now I was seeing what people meant by that. Though it likely had more to do with the person I was meeting than the ambience of the building.
I slid the classroom door open, stepped in, and got in a way that is quite unique and sudden, why an acquaintance calls this guy Scary-sensei.
And *clink* went the closing door.
"Who are you?"
His martial art is called 'Snake', supposedly for the whipping, chaotic motions of body and arms that disorient an opponent and leave them open for a killing blow. Right then, it was singly appropriate to liken the way Kuzuki Souichiro focused on someone with the way said predator does before springing in for the kill.
"Sensei?"
"It's simple, and no single thing. Multiple smaller oversights," Kuzuki's voice was about as warm as a glacier, and just as welcoming. "You are not Matou. Who are you?"
I had about enough confidence in my abilities to know that, yes, I might be able to choke out a whimper before he caved my skull in ...
... and the realization that this was one particular hole I'd basically dug for myself wasn't helping any either, let me tell you ...
... so, due to lack of, oh, any _other_ possible course of action that would have me walking out of here on my own power rather than being carried out, likely in a plastic bag, I told the truth.
Because I'm making the assumption that Kuzuki can read body language about as clearly as any of us can a book.
