[ i guess they are

fuckin

roomies. somehow.

ryo is just standing in their shared room like 🧍 ]

[firstandgreatest]

[ just for context, there's a little cow guy thats standing on the end of one of the beds. it's wearing a little party hat.

when ryo looks at it, it just goes moo. ]

[preordain]

[




contemplating how to kick this cow out of the room ]

[firstandgreatest]

[ ushi's moo contains multitudes. there's nothing but blessed silence for a moment before itto practically kicks in the door and starts yelling. ]

Ushi! How did you get here?! Who's this guy? Did you recruit another gang member?

[preordain]

[ oh my god. who is this. he's so loud. ]

Is this your cow.

[firstandgreatest]

That's Ushi, and he's not a cow, he's a genuine Akaushi bull and his own independent member of the Arataki Gang. So yeah, he's sort of mine I guess. In a loyal gang sense?

[ going over to check ushi and see if he's hurt or anything? ushi moos. ]

I missed you too, buddy!

[preordain]

[ ryo decides to keep calling this thing a cow. ]

So, he died as well? Did someone eat him?

[firstandgreatest]

Huh? No, I think he'd be way too tough to eat, so don't even try!

[ ushi moos. ]

Oh, yeah, good point-- He says he knows this is an uncomfortable close-quarters situation we've all found ourselves in, but he hopes this room can be a shared space for all of us and-- whatddya mean? I'm being as quiet as I can?

[preordain]

[ he has so many questions. he wants to doubt that this guy can understand the cow, but all of that seems too thoughtful for him to come up with on his own. ]

I was hoping I'd be rooming with someone else.

[firstandgreatest]

Like who?

[preordain]

A friend.

[ anyway ]

I get top bunk.

[firstandgreatest]

Aw man-- I wanted top bunk. Okay I guess, only because you called dibs first and you're sad about your friend.

[preordain]

[ he actually doesn't care about the bunk, but he had a feeling itto probably did. this is the way. ]

Mm. Is your... gang member... the only thing of yours you see here?

[firstandgreatest]

Uh, I didn't really look yet?

[ he does care so so deeply and is in fact currently deeply upset about it and trying to hide it

going to actually look around the room now, and in the closet ]

Oh yeah. My clothes and stuff are here.

[ holding up a ... leather titty harness? ]

[preordain]

Please do not bring things like that into our bedroom.

[firstandgreatest]

Well, sure, I guess I'll take it out of here because I'm wearing it?

[ straight up he is just changing right now sorry about it. ]

[preordain]

[ unfortunately he does not even blink ]

... is there anything else in the closet?

[firstandgreatest]

Let's see, clothes, clothes-- Ah! A ghost!

[preordain]

[




he stands up to go see. ]

[firstandgreatest]

[




giggling ]

Got ya!

[preordain]

You know, technically we're all ghosts.

[firstandgreatest]

[ his brain seems to be struggling to process this ............ ]

No way ...

[preordain]

We're supposed to be dead, right?

So. Ghosts.

[firstandgreatest]

[ he looks

scared ]

Look man, they keep saying that but it seems kind of like some bullshit - sorry Ushi - to me. I think I'd know if I was dead! I'd feel dead or something, and I feel the same way I always feel except for the fact I got my freakin' vision stolen again. You'd think it'd be like ... cold or something.

[preordain]

Perhaps we don't feel cold since we're at where the dead should be.

[ spooky ]

If it helps, I'm not too convinced that this is hell. However, the situation I was in prior was a life threatening one where I likely would have died.
