week 1 thursday

[Well, as soon as that music starts up, he goes to try the door.]

Oh. Well. At least it isn't blood, this time...

[housewolf]

This is technically better.

[Maybe it'll just play the once?]

[kokytos]

[ ]

[ Steven sits down on the ground as soon as the doors lock and the music starts up, expression just short of being a little dead inside. ]

I shouldn't be -- well, no, I'm not surprised at all it's another lockdown. With more bizarre effects.

[ Looks right at the DJ Booth. What IS that? ]

[holeful]

Hopefully this is just something that happens every week? I don't want someone to die again...

[As Harlequin starts playing for a second time.]

[housewolf]

I could do without the death.

[But if he's being real? He's expecting more of it to happen.

He'll move to the table and... hm.]

Do either of you know how to turn this off?

[kokytos]

[ Steven will get up off the ground to come look at the machine. And then he flicks a switch. And then flicks it again. Turns down a dial, another dial, and another. Pulls all the sliders down to minimum.

...Unplugs the machine??? ]

Looks like it doesn't want to.

[holeful]

I see. It's rather like how the blood kept coming back, isn't it.


Haha, well, I can think of worse people to be stuck with.
[Lets stay positive!!!]

[housewolf]

[Oh well, they gave it a try.]

It's good company.

Hey, do either of you play an instrument?

[Because he's going to the drums. It's been far too many loops of this song already.]

[kokytos]

Not really.

[ He remembers being here on the first day, talking with Tamaki about how if he ever had the time to, he'd maybe try learning a classical instrument. Sad.

He just looks at the bowless violin. That's unfortunate too. ]

[holeful]

I learned a little bit of piano once, but that was years ago...



Do you really think making more noise is going to help? I'd rather just sit and talk. Steven has a pretty interesting job, you know...

[housewolf]

[Then he'll simply take a seat at the drums. This seat is pretty comfortable, and he's gotten used to it.]

I think it might if we get annoyed enough.

What's your job, Steven?

[kokytos]

[ He'll just sit on the piano chair thank you, slouched over with his elbows on his knees, chin in his hand as he just resigns to clown music. ]

I'm a subcommander of a type of extralaw peacekeeping organization. It's not that interesting enough to make it a topic for the next... [ He glances up at the clock. ] Hour or so.

[holeful]

You forgot the part about how you fight vampires? It sounds pretty cool to me.

[Looking at Steven with... a rather reverent gaze? He thinks Steven is a cool guy. Am I trying to make Omi jealous? Goodness why would I do that.]

[housewolf]

[You can try, Fukuda.]

That's cool as hell. How long've you been workin'?

[kokytos]

[ Despite his half-assed efforts, the conversation continues to be about him. He doesn't even pay any attention to Fukuda and his look. He just sighs. ]

A pretty long time. These days the vampire fighting is more an occupational hazard and though it's one of the cores of what I do, I have a lot of other responsibilities. Which often include boring as hell bureaucracy.

[holeful]

[Listen I'm just trying to get the Steven seduction train rolling.]

I'm sure it's normal to you, Steven, but to me it sounds like the premise for a cool TV show. I bet Omi thinks so, too.

[housewolf]

Yeah. Kinda reminds me of a play Winter did a few years back.

[He hums softly, if only to stop listening to the clown music for a moment.]

Seems like there's bureaucracy no matter where you end up goin'. Lots of paperwork and finances?

[kokytos]

Mm, well. I suppose the answer is yeah, there's a lot. Even more mundanely, managing everyone's paychecks and hours and all that.

[ Purposefully talking about the more boring mundane shit. ]

You play any instruments yourself? [ Topic change! ]

[holeful]

[STEVEN....]

Omi's really talented, too...
[You are just both so great.]

[housewolf]

[Omi can pick up on the "I don't want to talk about it vibe" and he will very simply move right along.]

Ah. I don't know about that.

I learned drummin' for a show we did. I'm still just an amateur.

[kokytos]

Is this just going to be a boost each other's morale and feelings about each other power hour?

[ To the tune of clown music even. He nods, though. ]

More musical history than I have, at any rate.

... I guess they're expecting us to spend the night like this... though if it's like last time and more of a forced sleep, maybe it'll be fine.

[holeful]

[No. Only Steven and Omi's morale!!]

Yeah. How long was it last week? A few hours? I can't really remember that well.

[housewolf]

That's not very despair of us...

[A quick glance to Steven's hand tattoo.]

It seemed like an hour? It's hard to tell time around here.

[kokytos]

I watched the clock. They're not all that accurate across the building, but I'd say about an hour... which means, whenever the clock strikes midnight.

... Neither of you are despair anyway, it's not like it's going to be a detriment to you.

[holeful]

No, but maybe we want to help you indulge too, Steven. Like how Gojou did.
