[buzen is running into the mansion!! he's honestly probably got some bad food from the carnival (and also mentally has so many questions about exploding clowns). also there's a bruise on his face but it's cool
but he'll pause when he sees nogiku]
Oh! Excuse me, miss... Are you feeling better today?
[he saw her having A Moment by the archways but probably didn't want to intrude if she was still gathering herself... but it's important to check on people :( ]
[dingding! that's the elevator arriving on nogiku's floor! i haven't even kept track on what floor she's in, this is fine. buzen will just knock from the other side of it, laughing slightly]
[he'll wander around in the common area? he really is just looking around, and also like he's trying to pinpoint this feeling of TENSION - ]
... really green. Lots of plants, and it has a very calming aura. There's a lot of complicated ingredients in our cupboards, but we can make our own food... so really the perk is that there's tea.

[When someone sees you but you don't see them...
Anyway, she's watching him warily, eyes lingering on the bruise. Is it clown shaped?]
no subject
he just keeps his distance and holds his hands up in a sheepish manner]
I think I wandered past you yesterday, but you might've been caught up trying to adjust to... all of this.
So I just wanted to see if today was any better, or if anyone's checked up on you.
no subject
Hm.]
... I'm fine. You don't have to be worried or anything. What's it to you, anyway?
no subject
What's it to me...?
What do you mean?
no subject
Bluntly:]
Why do you care if today's any better or not?
no subject
I don't want any of us to stay here long enough to acclimate... but I do hope that people are okay.
no subject
[Fair enough, though she's still watching him a bit suspiciously.
After a beat:]
Did something attack you?
no subject
[casually]
So be careful! It seems like we have some rowdy company.
no subject
[Is that a relief? Mystery.]
Who was it?
no subject
gestures to two really big spikes coming out of his head]
Someone with an interesting hairstyle.
[garou
so this.... this will make the later thread even funnier help]
no subject
And then she nods, looking very much like she understands everything now.]
Ah. The man who's obsessed with pregnancies.
[Awful.]
no subject
.... I'm sorry...?
no subject
[she said what she said, sir.]
no subject
But he is a pretty - distinct character.
no subject
Did you win?
no subject
[a beat]
Probably. But it's not exactly something I'm proud of - to win against a man who already had broken ribs.
no subject
He arrived like that?
no subject
Think so.
I haven't met anyone else aggressive enough to give those to him right off the bat...

week 0, thursday
Excuse me! Buzen Gou, requesting entrance!
[as he waits politely for a response....]
no subject
Nogiku lifts an eyebrow when she opens the door, frowning.]
Oh, Buzen-san... What is it?
no subject
buzen is just smiling back at her]
Sorry to intrude - I'm visiting all the other floors to scout after spending some time in the Verdant one. How are you, Nogiku-san?
no subject
She hesitates, pausing to think about it for a second — before she shrugs.]
It's not like I'm particularly attached to this place... Alright, you can go ahead.
[Opens the door wider? And ignores his question? Just what does she think he plans to do.]
no subject
what is happening. buzen is just going to wander in, but he'll toe his shoes off politely?]
Eh? Thank you for permission but - do you think I'm going to do something bad here?
no subject
no subject
No, I'd never. It's your dwelling space. That'd be awfully inconsiderate.
no subject
Then there's nothing to worry about, so go ahead.
[Enjoy getting immediately slapped in the face with tension, Buzen... But also focus and determination? Huh.]
no subject
though he stands up a little straighter with the effect? hello?]
Eh... This is really different from Verdant.
no subject
[how will anyone in scarlet sleep? it's a mystery.]
no subject
... really green. Lots of plants, and it has a very calming aura. There's a lot of complicated ingredients in our cupboards, but we can make our own food... so really the perk is that there's tea.
So this is...
[strange.]
week 1, post-pawty
Nogiku-san!
Are you headed back to the apartments? I can let you into Verdant, if you'd like.
no subject
[She blinks, as if suddenly realizing how late it's gotten.]
Yeah... Thanks, I'd appreciate that.
no subject
[off they go!]
I've been meaning to ask - have you been able to sleep well when you visit? You can use my bed in the room with Hot-san and Ryu-san if you need.
no subject
[smash cut to friday and there is now one unoccupied bed... i'm gonna fight nu.]
