Blinded by nostalgia

WHO: Houka Inumuta, Uzu Sanageyama, Ira Gamagori, Senketsu?
WHERE: Apartment #29, Heropa.
WHEN: Backdated to April 6th, around 2AM.
WHAT: ROOMMATES??
WARNINGS: None so far. Possibly swearing in the future.

He's been at apartment #29 for a while.

Houka may have landed at approximately the same time as his other roommates, but he was quicker to get to their shared apartment and claim his room before anyone else had even arrived. A need for immediate privacy was what drove Inumuta to arrive so early, and once he had settled in to the new atmosphere, he could feel as if he could breathe a little better. As if it wasn't bad enough that he had been left behind- timeline wise- in comparison to his other teammates, but to not have some breathing room to himself? He really couldn't take that.

Having already mapped out the layout of the house, Inumuta settled into the living room, browsing his new communicator for network posts and waiting for his other roommates to arrive. While he wanted to measure the extent of his new abilities- these new powers he could just feel underneath his skin- he kept it under control, containing himself at least until all of his teammates arrived. He wasn't sure the full extent of his abilities, but if they were anything dangerous, he would want at least Gamagori and Sanageyama around to help him with the fallout.

Senketsu stares at him incredulously, then slouches in disappointment.

"Doing it wrong again? Maybe I really do belong in someone's closet instead."

And yet he tries anyway.

[ironbuttmonkey]

Man, Senketsu doesn't behave anything like he expected. It's actually kind of funny, but in a good way.

So he just laughs, shaking his head.

"You'll get used to things eventually, don't worry about it."

[sanguineseams]

"With time."

Senketsu opens the door so that they can make their way to the next room, but not without briefly glancing at his hand and making a grim realization.

"...I'll have to learn how to write."

[ironbuttmonkey]

"Ah, really--"

He doesn't...entirely want to be the one to have to teach him. Even if that's not what Senketsu had in mind, it comes to his own head immediately.

"Maybe someone will be willing to teach you. You could always ask later."

[sanguineseams]

"I'll figure something out."

He shrugs.

"I'm not going to learn it overnight anyway. Right now I just want to decide on a place to sleep."

It's been a long day for a resurrected Kamui.

[ironbuttmonkey]

A nod.

"Any of the rooms catch your eye?"

...no pun intended.

[sanguineseams]

Are you sure about that, Uzu?

"I like the first one, actually. I couldn't explain why, but I liked how the furnishings were laid out."

[ironbuttmonkey]

"I told you, it definitely makes a difference."

A nod.

"Just let everyone else know next time you see them. There shouldn't be a problem."

[sanguineseams]

"I will. What about you, then?"

dont worry i'd never outgrow tagging senketsu

[ironbuttmonkey]

"That one there."

LOOK AT HIM GESTURING TO THAT ROOM. YEAH. THE ONE NOONE HAS PICKED YET.

"Out of the remaining two, it appeals the most."

what cruel wording

[sanguineseams]

It's a nice room.

"I hope that wasn't your second choice..."

HEAVEN FORBID Senketsu even remotely inconveniences someone.

unintentional i assure you ;)

[ironbuttmonkey]

"It doesn't really matter. We can rearrange it how we like, after all."

Senketsu just take your damn room, sheesh.

"So don't worry, alright?"

thats a damn lie & u no it

[sanguineseams]

"R-right."

Fidget.

"If you find the need to, I can help."

B)

[ironbuttmonkey]

Sanageyama gets he's trying to be helpful, but there's a line between helpful and being too accommodating to live...one day he'll try and kick some assertiveness into you Senketsu. One day.

"Look, I said don't worry about it. You'll be the first person I call."

Said mostly to humor him.

"Just go get some sleep already."

[sanguineseams]

He's at least a little bit more assertive than he used to be.

"Ah...that sounds like a great idea."

Time to break in the new bedroom.

[bulwank]

"One of the two open rooms has an extensive closet." He assumes you plan on sleeping in the closet. Just because you're people doesn't mean you have to make yourself sleep in a bed.

Right?

He's not sure how this works. You need to sleep in whatever way is best for you.

[sanguineseams]

Suddenly, an Ira.

"Oh. Hello, mister Gamagoori. I was going to try sleeping on a bed tonight, just to try it."

Don't deny him his new opportunities!!

[bulwank]

Well he's in the room ish apartment.

"Oh, well good for you. I suppose a new body means adjusting to what feels best on it. Won't it be strange wearing clothes?"

[sanguineseams]

"I wasn't planning on doing that. Human clothes aren't made for..."

He holds up an oversized hand.

"Besides, I can do this:"

The skin of his wrist moulds itself into a buttoned shirt cuff.

"...but I'll need to practice some more if I'm hoping to pass off as clothed."

[bulwank]

He was about to say tailors exist for a reason- it's their job to make clothing for all types, but okay, nevermind.

"That- is very interesting- yes looking further into it would be a good idea. Also learning human dress codes, casual wear and so on. It may do you well to just people watch, watch television, or pick up a magazine."

[sanguineseams]

Senketsu chuckles before turning his skin back to normal and dropping it to his side.

"That was the plan. Actually, I was planning to go to the library at my soonest convenience, if you'd like to come with me."

[bulwank]

"I would, reading some of the literature here sounds like a good idea for any of the imPorts, you're smart to do so." A small smile of his own.

"Senketsu- I never did get to tell you- you fight well, and it was good to have you on our side."

[sanguineseams]

Oh my. Senketsu's brows perk in surprise.

"T-there's no need for praise. I was only doing what I felt was right."

[bulwank]

"And that's what makes it even more honorable, doing what is right, and feeling right about it in your heart and soul. No matter what race or species you might be."

[sanguineseams]

Senketsu is quiet for a moment, considering Gamagoori's words carefully, before returning an almost sad kind of smile.

"If I was ever granted a moment of selfishness, I would have used it to stay with all of you. You've turned into fine adults, and I would have liked to see what each of you would have done with your lives--how you would have changed the world, now that it's in the right hands."
