Keith Kogane | OTA

[bonding_moment]

[Keith has been a fairly quiet roommate. Hell, his robot lion probably seems like it has more personality than him at this point—headbutting him for attention, lounging in the middle of the hall, running at breakneck speed through the house, generally being the absolute worst giant mechanical housecat there ever was.

Keith at least makes efforts at getting her to stop when she starts acting up, usually with at least some success. When not managing his reckless monster of a lion he's visiting Lance or one of the other paladins or training in the backyard—sometimes normal human exercise, sometimes trying to figure out how to use fire powers without setting everything on fire.

There are probably a few singed spots on the tree back there. Keith isn't sorry.

Today, however, he's gone out to do the shopping for the week. He...might need to go out again if anyone wants anything other than packs of ramen, some eggs, a bag or two of frozen mixed veggies, and a case of water. He's... He's trying here.]

[starlinings]

Kogane-san?

[It's a quiet voice that eventually speaks up, standing in the doorway to the kitchen as he watches Keith come in with the groceries.]

...

[Before a warm smile appears on his face.]

Are you trying to make ramen?

[bonding_moment]

[Keith glances up at the sound of his name, setting down the packet of ramen he'd been examining while he looks around to see who's speaking. Not that lazy guy...whatever his name was. No, this was the newer boy.

He shrugs.]

I was thinking about it.

[starlinings]

[He couldn't have been much taller than Pidge, walking over and peeking at all the ingredients, nodding silently as he studies them. He did get all of what's mostly needed to turn average instant ramen into something worthwhile.]

I know what you can use for it.

[don't mind him as he sets the soccer ball he'd been carrying to the side, heading over towards the cabinets to pull out a slightly-bigger-than-average bowl.]

You can fit everything in this better.

[thepalinpaladin]

[When did Lance get here? Who even let him in, was it Keith? Who knows! What I do know is that Lance is lounging on Keith's couch with a blue lion sprawled at his feet]

I been wondering where you live.

[bonding_moment]

[Keith, naturally, is outraged. Meanwhile the red lion is ambling over to flop against good old Blue.]

What are you doing here?!

[thepalinpaladin]

Sitting on your couch. I came to bring ya something.

[Blue is fine with the flopping, this is just a good time no matter how you look at it. Cat life!!]

[bonding_moment]

[He almost snaps again but just manages to catch himself. Lance is bringing him something???]

What is it?

Gran | OTA

[starlinings]

[Gran was the newest roommate to the house, and to be honest, it was a little intimidating. When you've been raised to live with the same people for 14 years of your life, the idea of transferring, and to a group of people you haven't even met by association has a little bit of apprehension attached. But Gran was never one to really let that get to him. People were nice.

Friendship seemed like a nice thing to have, and he was hoping the house had that kind of feeling.

It was...quiet, at least. The red lion that seemed to take residence with them (Keith's? He assumes, she follows him whenever he's out and about) especially catches his attention. Much like a kid looking at an actual lion at a zoo.

It didn't take him long to figure out that no one really seemed to take command of the kitchen, so that gave him time to sneak in and cook something up when he felt up for it. Rice, furikake,and some sort of protein (chicken, egg, or shrimp usually--the joys of living on the coast) was often left out in a giant bowl for the other two. 'Mess', his older sister would call it. Something she would make when she had to scrounge together something to feed all the children.

He would give casual hellos to the other roommates before taking his plate to the kitchen, washing it immediately before placing it to dry.

Tonight is one of those times, just around when it's starting to get dark and all the lights have been dimmed for the night. He's cleaning his bowl, the only light in the kitchen is by little glowing stars surrounding him as he dries it and sets it to the side. He was more active during the night, so you can probably find him wandering between the kitchen doing this, or on the couch TV, watching some late night sitcom.

It's probably cringe-worthy funny, but hey. He's a kid. And an alien.

Don't judge.]

Yue Katou | OTA

[autorejoin]

[ YOU'RE WELCOME, YELLING WARNING TEXT!

Katou has, somehow, managed to be a fairly quiet roommate so far... though it's largely because he has discovered the Internet and has now decided that he pretty much lives there. It doesn't help that his actual job involves being on the Internet. Who the hell thought that was a good idea????

Either way, he's emerged from his room for the first time in over twenty-four hours... mainly because he's realized that he's starving. So he's gone into the kitchen, to realize.... there's basically nothing in the fridge. He certainly hadn't gone shopping. ]

What the fuck, where's all the food?

[ He says that as though he's never been on his own living on the edge of abject poverty... Which is absolutely a lie, he was definitely doing that before he died. Honestly, he just assumed one of his roommates would be more responsible than he is. ]

[bonding_moment]

[Keith glances up from where he's been buffing out scuff marks in Red's chassis.]

There are eggs. And ramen in the cabinet.

[autorejoin]

Ramen? ...Well, that's good enough for me.

[ Katou snags the eggs from the fridge and heads towards the cabinet. ]

They need to give us a roommate that can cook.

[bonding_moment]

But we can cook. You're going to cook that right now.

[starlinings]

...


There's rice in the fridge...you could make omurice.

[Your roommate is 14 years old Katou what the fuck are you expecting.]

[autorejoin]

[ Katou is seventeen and a drug addict, it's not like he's gonna do much better here. ]

Do we have a rice cooker, though?

[starlinings]

Ah, Not yet.

[Life goals, right there.]

But I made it on the stove, It should be all ready if you throw it in the microwave a few moments.

[thepalinpaladin]

All your roommate got was ramen.

[Sits on the couch with his blue metal lion at his feet, checking his fingernails. Hm, looking good there, beautiful hands]

[autorejoin]

[ Katou pokes his head out from the fridge. ]

Really? Just ramen? Not even anything to go with it...

[ Says the guy who hasn't even bought any food for the house yet. ]

Hunk | Come At Me, New Friends!

[hunksmash]

[ As cautious as he tends to be, Hunk is the kind of person who will barrel right through certain social boundaries. He more than suspects that his upbringing was next to nothing like Keith's. Where he comes from, it's not just your family that you're looking out for (and them for you), but your whole community. Blood or not, everybody's bound together on this plane, and you take care of each other. It's just what you do. No questions asked, no obstacle too great.

Keith never talked about his family. Keith had left the Garrison and taken up in a shack instead of with his parents. Or an aunt. Or an uncle. Or grandparents. Or anybody. So he's always ready to try and curb Lance's attitude without having to be blunt about it, and he doesn't always get Keith himself, but... He wants to try. He wants to help where he can.

And now? Lance had let slip that Keith's idea of grocery shopping is woefully underdeveloped, and that he was probably living on Ramen, eggs, and frozen veggies. That's bad. But it's nothing that can't be fixed!

Long story short, Hunk's in the kitchen of somebody else's house, unpacking several bags of groceries. He'd gotten all of the staples that he could think of, some seasoning stuff, some fresh fruit and veggies, some meat options... Keith ought to be set for a while, but he's still not done.

While his lion waits with her head propped on the kitchen table, Hunk picks out a select few things for a meal. Congrats, DC007, you've gained an overly-involved yellow paladin. ]

[starlinings]

[There is someone new in his house, and Gran can't help but stare at him from the entrance to the kitchen. What was this strange man doing, and why was he putting groceries into the fridge?

Didn't burglars do the opposite.]

...


Hello.

[It's a quiet voice, and it may not even be heard as he slowly walks in, noticing a yellow giant lion now sitting with her head propped up on the table, he walks over to extend a hand out to her.

Letting her decide if he can pet her or not.]

[hunksmash]

[ Hunk's got his head in the fridge when Gran approaches, so he notices a little late. Yellow greets him more properly first, lifting her head at the boy's approach and bending towards his outstretched hand. Yellow's big theme is kindness and support, so of corse she's down to get patted.

Hunk finds the scene once he closes the fridge door. Surprise registers first on his face, then guilt. He'd kinda hoped it'd be Keith that he ran into first. ]

Oh, uh. Hey. How's it going? I'm Hunk. [ Just some stranger in your kitchen. No big deal. Might wanna tell him what you're up to, man. ] I'm a friend of Keith's.

Lance said you guys didn't really have any food, so...

[bonding_moment]

[Keith isn't sure how Hunk got in or exactly what he's doing here, but this doesn't seem like anything to be very concerned about. He knew Lance had threatened to tell Hunk about his food situation as if it was anything to be worried about—it was fine. A decent enough balance of carbs, protein, and vegetables. Fine! ...But apparently not fine enough for Hunk since Lance's threat had actually worked.

He steps into the kitchen and crosses his arm while he leans over the table to see what Hunk's working on.]

Let me guess; Lance sent you?

[hunksmash]

Oh. Hey, man. [ As if Hunk was not fully expecting to run into Keith in his own house. He's currently scooping the centers out of a bunch of zucchini halves. ]

Not exactly. [ Lance probably wouldn't admit that his telling Hunk about Keith's empty pantry was anything other than character criticism, and totally not intended to move Hunk to do something about it. Hunk's not about to admit it on Lance's behalf, at least not fully. ] He just told me that you kept things pretty bare-bones, and that the rest of your house seemed to, so...

[ So he had to do something. Never mind that Lance knew that Hunk would have to do something. Nobody sent anybody! ]

How do you feel about zucchini boats?

[autorejoin]

[ Katou definitely doesn't recognize this new guy, but seeing as no one ever breaks into a house to give you food, he's certainly not going to complain. What he is going to do is grab an apple and take a bite out of it while Hunk does his thing. ]

Who knew all I had to do was make a wish and food would appear?

[hunksmash]

[ Enjoy that apple, dude. There's more where that came from. Anyway! Again, Hunk's not paying the best attention, and he turns a little sharply when there's suddenly someone else in the kitchen. ]

Oh, uh. Hey. I'm-- Any wish-granting is just a coincidence. I'm here because Keith got ratted out for his inability to buy proper groceries.
