WHO: Mitsuru Kirijo (penthesileia) and Kidou Yuuto (tacticianing)
WHERE: Maurtia Falls #003
WHEN: October 5th
WHAT: Housemates finally get to know each other
WARNINGS: Really shouldn't be any!

Mitsuru rarely interacts with her housemates, to be honest. She's mainly content to live and let live, respecting their space as she'd want to have hers respected. If it hadn't been for her conversation with Junpei, she really wouldn't have given much thought to the young man Ken's age living in the government housing with her.

She's making tea in the kitchen when she hears him come home and footsteps go up the stairs to his room. When she comes out, she finds a book on the floor-- it's a textbook, American History. He must have dropped it, she thinks, and picks it up.

She makes her way up the stairs and down the hall, pausing for a moment before knocking on the door to Kidou's room.

"Kidou-kun? You dropped something downstairs."

Mitsuru has absolutely nothing going on right now, so she steps in as Kidou steps to the side, looking around the room. It's the first time she's really been in here since she moved in, and... Ah, right. The penguins. She feels a minor headache coming on. "You certainly like penguins, don't you, Kidou-kun?"

[tacticianing]

"Yeah," Kidou agrees with a small, almost embarrassed smile. He'd decorated a little. Hopefully that was acceptable... but if not he'd understand. "Is it that obvious?"

Considering it's the only demonstrated interest he's displayed... yes, Kidou. Yes, it really is.

"Well, between the decorations and our earlier conversation, it wasn't a difficult conclusion to leap to," she explains before deciding to pivot away from this topic. The penguins made no sense, at least not in a soccer sense.

She moved to stand next to the desk, scanning the titles of the textbooks. Struggling in History class or no, these seemed far more advanced than a boy of his age might be reading. "Where are you currently in the course, time period-wise?"

[tacticianing]

"Various places. We're to assemble a timeline of North Carolina together, so we're supposed to each get a list of events to suggest."

Which gave him free reign to give in to obsessive overboard research into everything.

[penthesileia]

"A timeline? From what date range? The more specific we can get, the more thorough."

[tacticianing]

"From the foundation to now, I suppose. We weren't given a range."

[penthesileia]

"Hm," she says for a moment, scanning the table and all the available textbooks. "Then I suppose we ought to be comprehensive. Wait one moment, I'll go get a chair."

It seems that they'll be here for a while. Sure enough, she soon comes back holding a chair that she's carried up from the kitchen. "Of course, if we're too comprehensive, then that makes our data less useful. We need to hit only the important parts."
