Comments

Flynn Scifo

[dammit_yuri]

[Flynn is hauling a bookcase. He has books. Seriously. In any case, the damn thing is heavy but he manages to put it into his new room. It had to be better than the time he was forced to share a bed with Yuri because Yuri refused to clean the dishes, prompting Flynn to stack them all on top of Yuri's bed. That did not go well. Yuri was a cover hog. Damned vagabond's habits never changed.]

Here we go.

[He then places his sword on a stand next to his door. Very classy.]

Sigh...

[He's a bit unhappy that both Yuri and Raven banned him from cooking. Apparently everyone else in the house wanted more turns or something. Oh well.]

[damn_juicebox]

All moved in?

[Rukia peeks around the doorframe with a grin. Flynn is probably the roommate she knows the least...which means she doesn't know what kind of culinary danger he poses to the rest of them.]

I was just about to get started on dinner. Do you like omelets?

[They're not as good as Yuri's, but she can cook decently at the very least.]

[dammit_yuri]

Yes, I do!

[he grins]

I don't have that many things, so it didn't take too long. I do like making sure that everything is in its place, though.

[More than could be said about a certain other person's way of doing things...]

Did you find everything all right? It was fortuitous for all of us to find this place together.

[damn_juicebox]

I think so.

[Fortuitous? She supposes she could call it that. Rukia can certainly see the benefits of having the members of Brave Vesperia under one roof, and she's absolutely glad to be sharing a residence with Ichigo again. It's oddly nostalgic, but also a much needed change after that vision. She knows she's been gloomy lately, much as she's tried to keep her emotions under wraps.]

[Her attention moves to the bookcase, which she studies curiously.]

You have a lot of books, I see. What type do you like to read?

[She sees no problem in walking into his room to take one off the shelf and see for herself what kind of reading tastes Flynn has. Maybe she'll borrow one or two, as she enjoys reading as well.]

[dammit_flynn]

[ Yuri's lazily lugging the other bookcase for himself, but it's not like he would use it for anything that it's intended for. Either way, he needed one for keeping things organized but organization wasn't his forte so it might be a mess. Oh well.

He sets it in the opposite corner of the room. Since he was moving in with a few people he knew and one he had yet to meet, he wasn't too worried. Repede was happily trotting around looking at the new area. Yuri pat his hands on his pants before giving a sigh. ]

Man, moving is sure a workout.

[dammit_yuri]

It is if you go about it the wrong way. How many times have I told you to lift with your legs, not your back? You're going to seriously injure yourself like that.

[nagnagnagnag]

I figure we can put Repede's blanket near the heater so he's warm during the winter, and then he can sleep on our beds otherwise if he wants to.

[dammit_flynn]

I did use my legs. Jeez, the first thing you do when we get inside is nag. Give it a rest already. I'm not that fragile.

[ He rubbed the back of his neck in annoyance as Flynn nagged him again. ]

Yeah that works. He likes being warm. In any case, he can sleep with one of us if it gets too cold. Not like we haven't done that before.

[ He shrugged. ]

[blackmoonreaper]

[Ichigo could have sworn he heard something heavy being moved and it isn't until Flynn is settled in that he goes to investigate. Looks like he's a moment too late to be of any help. The bookcase does get a bit of a glance though.]

...Did you drag that all the way here?

[dammit_yuri]

Well, pulling it apart and reassembling it felt like a chore...

[shrugs]

I don't believe we've met. My name is Flynn Scifo. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[blackmoonreaper]

[And dragging it wasn't a chore? That's... one way to do it.]

Same. I'm Ichigo Kurosaki. Guess we're housemates now, huh?

[damn_juicebox]

[Rukia doesn't own all that much. Most of what she has are some changes of clothes, some toiletries, and a few letters she's particularly fond of that she wanted to keep. She moves in with a backpack, and that's it. She's impressed at the size of the house. It has an upstairs level? She's not sure if they already decided who gets which room, as she's not especially picky, but she's kind of hoping for whatever's on the second floor.]

[She jogs up the stairs, then stops, noticing that there's a panel in the ceiling with a handle-tipped rope hanging from it. Ooooo... She pulls on it. A ladder slides out of the panel. This place has an attic?]

[CAN SHE LIVE IN THE ATTIC???]

[But the ladder isn't the only thing sliding out of the panel. A giant dust bunny rolls out too, landing right on top of Rukia's head with a poof of grey dust.]

Ack!

[She winces, brushing her hand over her hair with a frown, then reaches for the ladder to climb up. Poking her head through the hole, she notes that the living space isn't really ideal for a bedroom. There's no insulation, which means hot summers and freezing winters. She also might get wet if it rains. But at least it makes for a nice quiet spot if she needs to be by herself for a little while. Maybe she'll tidy it up later.]

[After she washes the dust out of her hair, gross. She calls out to the rest of her new roommates.]

Oy! Which room am I sleeping in?

[She calls out as she drops the ladder again. Hopefully no one was standing beneath it.]

[dammit_flynn]

Pick a room and stay there, Shorty!

[ Yuri replied from downstairs. He was carrying a few heavy boxes to the room he was going to be sharing with Flynn. The irony really. They were always fighting about cleanliness and neatness and other things, yet here they were rooming together again. Yuri wanted to at least ensure Rukia had her own room, but he wasn't worried if he had to share with her. She's not a girl or a boy. She's a person, and genders never mattered to him anyway.

He'd be the asshole walking around half dress typically. ]

Make sure you don't break anything and I mean anything on your body not the stuff. If we get this done quickly, I can cook us all dinner.

[damn_juicebox]

Oh my, are you worried about me~?

[She's already climbing down the ladder, calm your shorts. She's still tempted to claim the attic for her own, but if she really does get her pick...well, she should choose the second floor room. She likes the view from the window.]

[She puts up the attic ladder, then suddenly perks at the mention of dinner.]

You're cooking?

[Rukia seems excited about that, if only because she knows he's good at it.]

What are you making? Would you like help?

[dammit_flynn]

Me? Worried? What gave you that idea?

[ He replied sarcastically as he shrugged his shoulders some. He watched as the girl made her way down the ladder. He didn't say much other than pulling the hair band and tying back his hair so it wouldn't get in the way of things. ]

Looks like it's a better choice and I'd rather not have Flynn get the head start.

[ He replied looking over his shoulder. ]

Not sure. Any requests from you or that friend of yours?

[blackmoonreaper]

[Truth be told when the idea came up of moving to another place with the rest of them Ichigo didn't really see the point. It wasn't as if they were living in different cities or anything and really, he only knew Rukia and Raven. Well, Raven only a tiny bit. But Rukia's been acting a little different ever since that Sage business and he's been a little concerned about that. Besides... what harm could it do?]

[Like his room at home he hasn't acquired overly much--a few books he's either been given or borrowing, some personal affects, both forms of his sword for some reason, his Job armor. The usual items a teenager should have. He's currently trying to decide between sharing a room with someone or try to go for one of the single rooms. Honestly he doesn't care but he doesn't know if anyone has any preferences. He's disciplined enough by his crazy goat of a father to keep his room clean no matter where he is so it isn't like he was going to be a terrible housemate. Better to ask then.]

Uh, has anyone settled in one of these yet?

[Though everyone's busy moving their own things into the house. Maybe he should just pick one. Hmm.]

[oldspyce]

[ Did Raven know that Rukia and Ichigo have absolutely no romantic feelings for each other? Yes. Was he going to acknowledge that fact and move on with his day like any normal person? No. Raven had found that Ichigo could have entertaining reactions when the right buttons were pushed, and so he evoke those reactions whenever he could.

He wasn't entirely dilly-dallying either. He at least carried the lamp that was given to him so that it could be placed in whatever room end up being his. ]

Are ya sure ya don't want ta room with yer girlfriend?

[ The last time Raven was subtle, the joke went right over the boy's head, so he knew there was no room to be shy. If he wanted a real reaction, he had to go for gold! ]

i am absolutely not sorry

[dammit_flynn]

Girlfriend huh?

[ Yuri peeked in somewhat intrigued by the comment. ]

Honestly, if you two want to cozy it up in here, that's totally fine with me.

[ AND the former imperial soldier is chiming in his two cents. He doesn't know who Ichigo is, but he's certainly not afraid to jab once or twice. After all, Raven set that up for conversation after all. He also waved to the both of them when he remembered his manners. ]

Yo Old man, and I don't know your name, but I'm Yuri. Yuri Lowell. I suppose we'll have to get used to each other since we'll be living here together.

[ Haha, Yuri is not even going to hide that sarcasm. ]

[oldspyce]

[ Originally Raven had almost nothing of value to move. His room had gone plain for months since he arrived in Crystallis from his world. Whether he was too busy to personalize his living space, never cared to do it, or just never felt at home, all that was clear was it never got done. However, in the last month (or so?) this arrangement had been altered to look more characteristic. Most of which were items he didn't choose. He didn't have a lot to move but it was a lot more than he had before. Of course, Raven had only taken a couple of items his first trip. That being the space heater (because hello, its winter) and the lovely questionable pin-up girl calendar. And no one was surprised.

Moving was kind of a lot of work, but the only reason he agreed to it was because no one else seemed to mind. That and it was easier looking after your own crew when you lived with them. Not that Raven was a great "father" figure to his friends, but he did carry a level of wisdom the children were still learning. Ha. ]

There.

[ Raven has set the two and only belongings on the floor. With five people, and four rooms, meant they were going to have to invest in one more bed. (He could just steal his since he doubted Midna would want another roommate anyway.) In either case, at least two people would share a room, and he wouldn't care if he end up being one of them. ]

What's an old man like me doin' movin' my own things?

[ In other words. One of his younger compadres should move for him. At least that's what he'll try to fish for. ]

[dammit_yuri]

I offered to help...

[Not that Raven listened.]

Did you get a banner for your reanimation? You could hang that up.

[oldspyce]

[ He must have caught Raven at a bad time then. Because any excuse to avoid unwanted labor Raven took advantage of. Considering the hard sell of the gang he traveled with when putting an end to Alexei's ideals. He was still getting used to people who didn't treat him with tough love. ']

I'll take it!

[ Regarding the second topic. ]

Yeah. Why?

February 13th - 14th

[damn_juicebox]

[It's not as if Rukia's trying to keep her activities a secret. She proudly presented her rabbit-shaped candy molds when she brought them home from the market to anyone who was around to see them. She'd also purchased pounds of chocolate meant for melting and filling those molds, and after dinner, she busied herself in the kitchen preparing handmade chocolates for her friends. There were a lot of them in the city, which meant there were a lot of chocolate bunnies to create. Just filling a mold wouldn't be enough; with the aid of some colored oils and white chocolate, she's able to decorate those bunnies with accessories, hairstyles, or other unique traits to personalize them. Flynn's bunnies wear armor. Raven's bunnies are asleep in purple coats. Ichigo's each have a shock of short orange hair, while Yuri's sport long, luxurious hair.]

[She almost makes some for Repede until someone helpfully points out that chocolate is poisonous to dogs. So she just gives him a heart-shaped sausage patty for breakfast the next day instead.]

[Speaking of breakfast, one might almost think that Rukia just spent the entire night in the kitchen (she did not), because she's up early pouring pancake batter very carefully into a heart-shaped mold. There's a plate to the left with what must have been attempts at bunny-shaped pancakes...if those bunnies were mutated pudge monsters with lopsided chocolate chip eyes. They didn't turn out nearly as cute as she was hoping, but she's going to eat them anyway.]

[The table is set with a pitcher of orange juice, maple syrup, raspberry jam, and of course, a neatly-wrapped box containing four chocolate bunnies for each housemate, bearing a nametag to indicate who gets which box.]

[Rukia might not appreciate the holiday for its romantic aspects, but she can appreciate an excuse to celebrate and show her affection for her friends, and that she does whole-heartedly. She even found a dress with tiny black hearts on red fabric! ...Granted it was probably made for a twelve-year-old, but it fits her just fine, and she seems to be in better spirits than she has in a long while as she sets out the butter dish.]

[And she STILL has no idea that Raven hates sweets, otherwise she would have made him an omelet instead.]

[blackmoonreaper]

[Ichigo knew Rukia could go a little crazy with 'human traditions' and her enthusiasm for them was sometimes boundless. Even still, when he got up he didn't expect her to go all out like this and he hovers in the doorway, watching her work tirelessly. He didn't remember it being her turn to cook breakfast and she's been pretty busy since they moved.]

...How long have you been up doing this?

[Because he wanted an early start himself before the daily trolling routines started.]

[damn_juicebox]

Not long.

[She's too busy measuring the dribble of batter into the mold to turn and face him just yet, but she's aware of him at least.]

Less than an hour. It doesn't take long to mix batter.

[Most of her morning was spent showering and getting dressed, truth be told. The pancakes are still warm, and she didn't make any other breakfast dishes. Not yet, anyway.]

Take a seat and get started. The holiday isn't special enough to wait for everyone to get out of bed.

[She expects Yuri and Raven to sleep for another hour or two, if Repede or Flynn doesn't wake them up.]

[dammit_flynn]

You're sure making a lot of noise. What's up?

[ Yuri walked up to her as she was working on her stuff. The smell of sweets and other things permeated the air and went by to check the kitchen and see what was up. It seemed like Rukia was making certain foods and such for the morning. He heard that tomorrow was some funky holiday they called "Valentines's Day," and it was apparently some sort of odd romantic celebration. Something Yuri looked like he could care less about.

He stared at some of her pancakes before speaking. There were also chocolates that he caught with the corner of his eyes. ]

Looks like you're going all out. Who's the lucky guy? The Ichigo person possibly?

[ He's pulling her leg again. ]

[damn_juicebox]

[Oh Yuri, you have much to learn if you think she'll react the same way he did when teased in a similar manner. Instead she glanced back at him with a half-lidded look, smiiiiiiiiling.]

I made some for everybody. It's only fitting I cook a loving breakfast for my reverse harem on Valentine's Day.

[She turns back to the griddle and flips over the pancakes. Eat that, Troll Face. Where did she even learn a term like that? Probably the same place she learned all of her dating techniques.]
