I can't blame them.

[He too wants to stay in his room all day except Akira's there.]

[preordain]

I don't either, except my room is very loud.

[ itto ]

[nascens]

[HELP.]

So is mine. The fool is crying every damned time I see him.

[AKIRA!!!!]

[preordain]

[ there's a pause. ]

Akira?

[nascens]

[This isn't the usual (pause filled with general "that's rough buddy" vibes) that he's used to when he mentions that Akira is his roommate, so he glances over, arching a brow.]

Yes, that one.

[preordain]

[ he just nods ]

We know each other from home.

[ normally, he would try to keep that a secret but he knows akira has already told people so there's no fuckin point ]

[nascens]

[The way Akira hasn't mentioned it to him yet because he keeps LEAVING THEIR ROOM HALFWAY THROUGH CONVERSATIONS.]

Hm. Now that I'm thinking about it, he did mention a Ryo, which I'm guessing is you.

[Considering he has of course read the profiles and then promptly tossed his phone on his bed and left it there bye forever.]

[preordain]

[ a grimace. ]

What did he say?

[nascens]

Something weird about you crying.

[He said.........so many weird things about crying. And also cried so much.]

[preordain]

Does he not know how to shut his mouth?

[ AKIRA..... the worst is that ryo immediately just Understands ]

[nascens]

[i love this icon so much ALSO ALIEN TO WEIRD SPAM MAN COMMUNICATION......]

I'm amazed that he managed to get even that much out, considering all the crying he was doing. Is he always like this?

[preordain]

Yes. I believe he's what people call an empath?

[ just. so deadpan. ]

He might do it less once he gets more used to you, but it'll still happen every now and then.

[nascens]

[Just FROWNING ABOUT THAT. AN EMPATH??? Sounds fake like the stars. He still hates it here, though.]

How long have you been dealing with it?

[preordain]

Since we were children. But he doesn't really cry in regards to me like he used to.

[ so. akira got used to it. ]

[nascens]

I don't want to spend even five minutes around him, let alone an entire human lifetime's worth.

[Akira will simply never get used to him and Scaramouche will just have to flee every time he starts crying, like an endless cycle of samsara.]

[preordain]

It might be possible to switch rooms, you know.

[ a pause ]

Although you'd have to get someone to agree to it first.

[nascens]

Who would? [POINTED LOOK AT RYO but he doesn't want to switch with Ryo because then he'll just be stuck with Itto... No........

A little flitting handwave follows.]

As long as there aren't any other gates blocking the way, we aren't locked in with them, at least.

[FAMOUS LAST WORDS A WEEK IN ADVANCE.]

[preordain]

[ ryo would switch for gay reasons but also he would switch just to get away from itto, yes. this is such hell. perhaps even a superhell. ]

That's true. And it's not difficult to only go to the room to sleep and then leave for the rest of the day.

[nascens]

[Every day they take a step closer to the superest of superhells...]

There's little point in even that.

[Does he even sleep?? A Mystery. He's used to being outdoors though, so he'll probably be snoozin' under their big ol' purple hell sky.]

[preordain]

Personally, I'd just kick my roommate out.

[nascens]

You might as well. There's no telling how many days out of our endless number we'll be having to put up with this arrangement.

[preordain]

There does at least seem to be other islands in the distance, although that's not too helpful if we can't reach them.

[nascens]

Someone will surely die again in the process, but this group will figure it out sooner or later.

[They figured out fire in jail, he has faith. He will also be attempting to figure things out less stupidly, but no one needs to know that just in case he also fails and looks like an idiot about it.]

[preordain]

[ this is just funny now. ]

I would prefer sooner. It'll be less of a headache.
