Righteous Indignation

(Michelle)
A twenty year old blond rubbed his hands together, today he was going to know if the manuscript he wrote was good enough to actually be published. The editor came back and sat across from him and handed the papers back. "I'm sorry Eiri, it feel's as if you are missing something, I don't want to publish works that have a empty feeling."
"I see, I understand." It felt as if the entire world had dropped on his head and mocking him.
"Now, don't be doubtful, if you can figure out what is missing, please rewrite it if you do." His editor encouraged him but he slowly walked out of the firm, head hanging, feeling like a pathetic loser.
He had only accomplished a few light novels that made it into stores and his first attempt at a full novel, he figured, overwhelmed him to try to connect the dots. Maybe sitting at the fountain would cool his head, maybe taking a nice swim in it too would help. He shuddered as the night sky fell, the sun dropping ever so lower on the horizon.
He sat down on the fountains rim, the cascading noise was calming but it didn't ease his shuddering soul at the reject his first fully written novel. "What am I to do?" He sighed and made a half hearted attempt to tuck the papers into his bag. He felt himself slip off into a doze, he was jarred awake, it was already dark! He checked his wrist watch, cursed and dashed off, he was supposed to meet a few writers for dinner. A study group you could say. He made it in time, out of breath and leaning heavily on the empty chair. He took a seat and ordered a nice, tall glass of water. Chugging it. "Sorry for being late guys."
"So, how did it go?" Asked a female.
He dropped his head. "Please don't ask."
"That bad huh?" Asked another girl
"Yeah."
"Well, I am still ahead of you by five rejected full novels." A male laughed.
"Nah, that's nothing compared to my eight." A second male punched the other in the arm.
"So, where is it? I want to read it."
"Okay." He shoved his hand into his bag and felt for it, his golden eyes popped open. "I swore, I stuck it in here."
"Don't panic Eiri! Where did you last see it?" One of the males grabbed him by his shoulders and shook him.
"I just came from the fountain in the park."
"Damn man, go get it before its lifted from the street!"
At that, Eiri was running like a mad man, picking up speed. He hurled himself at stairs and nearly tripped over a dog leash in his attempt to get to the park. He skidded to a stop on his face, he had made it. Eiri circled the glistening display where multicolored lights created a wonderful atmosphere. He saw the script but it was in the hands of someone rather tall. Black hair and pink bangs framed intense and dark purple eyes.
"Excuse me, that's mine." He approached carefully, noting the strangers near black-purple, sleeveless trench coat, the glossiness of black leather trip-pants, a gray paint splattered vest that was covering a cropped black shirt and the heavy punk boots. A silver cross hung from his neck, seven piercings in the right ear and five in the left. Spiked and studded bracelets hung off his wrist's and his lips had black lipstick with pink in the center creating an ombre effect, thick eyeliner in pink and black eye shadow with heavy mascara made his purple eyes even more intense.
"Really?" There was a drag in the voice and he blew out a puff of smoke.
"Yes, I am Eiri Yuki as it says on the front page." He pointed.
"Really?" The voice holding disinterest.
"Yes."
"In my personal honesty, I have read better shit than this." He let the manuscript fall from his hand and into the fountain. "You fail at doing hard novels like this." The man took a deep drag on his cigarette before turning about as the script splashed into the pool. "Find something else to do instead of writing shit like that."
Eiri could only stare in shock as the man walked away and dove into the fountain when he snapped from his reverie.
Funny Corner!
Me: I have for the longest time been wanting to do some reversal stories!
Suichi: No damn way! I look freaking bad ass cool!
Yuki: Brat! Sit down and don't cause trouble for the author. *Yanks Suichi into his seat*
Me: Well, I am glad you like the way I pictured you, thanks.
Shuichi: Your welcome!
Yuki: Now why do I have to be the energetic odd ball?
Me: I am writing a reversal here, Yuki.
Shuichi: You should listen more closely. *He poked Yuki's cheek*
Yuki: Damn brat, I told you to sit still.
Me: Well, its fine if he moves about, I don't care.
Shuichi: WHOOPEE! *Starts to bounce off the walls like a ball*
Yuki: Why would you let him?
Me: Well there is this one philosophy but I'll have to share it next time. See you around on Funny Corner!
Shuichi: BYE!
Yuki: *rolls eyes*
