[ACTION FOR THE TG HOUSE]

[Tsukiyama has been told in no uncertain terms that he had better not just lie around in his room and act like his life is over due to recent events; there were enough issues with said events to keep him busy for a little while, at least, and he'd actually been doing fairly well for the first day or so. But once the immediate problems were fixed, that left him with a good amount of nothing to do with himself and an upheaval to be responded to, and so clearly, he did the rational thing and decided eventually to respond to it by...

...Well, lying around in his room, acting like his life is over.

Yep.

Granted, there were two problems with this that he did not foresee while in the midst of preparing for a 72-hour angst-ridden lie-in; the first was that his fuzzball of a sheep that he got from Labrys is both too young and too...benignly stupid to understand that he is not, in fact, literally dying. As such, she took to lying on his chest about halfway through the morning of Day 2; this got a bit alarming when he realized that she was doing this with the intention of being the most adorable defibrillator on the planet should her services be required, and she was not about to leave him alone because by god, her services may be required about thirty seconds after she was set on the floor for the fiftieth time.

The second unforeseen complication was Meridiana's...dear Tropius of a starter, who came with the perk of making sure that he was going to have something to eat while in the midst of dealing with the shards of sorrow and darkness piercing his motherfucking soul; unfortunately, she also came with the drawback of not seeming to comprehend that man cannot live on bananas alone – or if she did comprehend it, she quite simply did not seem to care.

...There's also the fact that it's very, very hard to be suitably tragic with a fluffsheep nuzzling into you and a leafy dinosaur trying to get you to eat fruit. And apparently no one in this house does the whole "giving him the attention he rightly deserves" thing right, anyway, and he's been largely left alone for the last three days. And really, who the hell even does that anymore.

So. Tsukiyama can actually be found downstairs today, draping over furniture in the study like an asshole with all the curtains drawn because no one goddamn understands. It's a lot of generally being effectively dead of angst and misery, but hey, at least someone's actually making use of the fainting couch once in a while.

Because we have a girl here from the Victorian era and as such there is a literal fainting couch.

Because of course there is.

God, that thing was a great investment.]




[VIDEO]

[Well, whatever was going on earlier, it seems that the aggressive not-fainting and a few hours free of the looming bananasaur has done something for his mood; whether it's a good something or not has yet to be seen.

Either way, he seems surprisingly sane in terms of how he's presenting himself today, the usual bright colors and patterns replaced with a longsleeved white...thing and an open black vest over it; given that that's actually a perfectly rational thing for a person to be wearing, it can probably be assumed that his pants are made entirely of lies, shame, and disgrace, but thankfully those aren't able to be seen on the video. He looks like he's sitting on a set of stairs of some sort, obviously indoors; they're nice, polished-wood, but that's about the most that can be said for his surroundings.

He's got his free hand resting on an absolute fluffbeast of a sheep, who seems determined to not do anything but firmly plant her face in his side like she was headbutting him at one point and just kind of decided she liked that position; he's not quite petting her, but the gesture is...sort of there, at least. The other hand is holding the camera out in front of him, and he seems more than steady enough today, even if the smile isn't looking quite...right.

Appearing on the network so soon after everything the last week has decided to be is probably a bad idea, or at least one in poor taste. He doesn't care.]


Ah, it's been a little while, hasn't it? I've missed speaking to you.

[...as...overfamiliar as ever, though, apparently.]

This place surprisingly isn't bad, once you get used to it! It still trends a little too close to parody for my liking, but c'est la vie – that's something you become accustomed to over time, and besides that it comes with almost enough perks to make this little excursion worthwhile.

That's assuming it's an excursion in the first place, though - and when I first arrived, I was under the impression that everyone was hoping that's all it was. But it seems that isn't the case...? As strange as I find it to do otherwise.

So tell me, amore, because I'm curious – if you want to stay, is there a particular reason for it? Even if your situation is terrible, it seems a bit too much like relying on escapism to want to just remain here forever, if you ask me.
irenicly: (♨ you can only stagger)

[Well, of course he's oversimplifying the situation.]

He doesn't remember me either, you know. I understand.

[Even if he sounds and looks irritated. He's trying, but only so much.]
deaftly: (SMILE 💦 you're almost as cute as me)

[personal profile] deaftly 2015-01-14 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah?

[That does get him to look at the device. Naki looks startled by that statement, but eventually he settles into a more neutral expression.]

Well, I'm glad I could help out even a little bit, then.
occultigen: (PONDER ⚜ or i could stab him in the face)

[personal profile] occultigen 2015-01-14 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Look on the bright side, if you throw Meridiana at him like a bag of peas he may be distracted by wobbly girl long enough to forget to be pissed at you about your everything.

Tactical Waifspionage Action.]


...All the same, I think I shall sit with you a while. I think that sort of sadness is easier when not...borne alone.
occultigen: (PROFILE ⚜ fuck these stupid hair wispies)

[personal profile] occultigen 2015-01-14 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[She's sort of quiet a moment then, glancing up from her hands to some indeterminate point on the far wall, half to spare him the ordeal of having her just staring at him and half because she's drifting off on her thoughts.]

...I'll not ask after what happened, but if there's something I might do to help it, I hope you won't hesitate to tell me. I should very much like to help, if I might.
deaftly: (SMILE 💦 you're almost as cute as me)

[personal profile] deaftly 2015-01-14 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, really?

[That seems to please him though, and Naki grins.]

Good, I'm glad to hear that!
irenicly: (♨ she's the blade and you're just paper)

[personal profile] irenicly 2015-01-14 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Banjou sighs deeply, running a hand through his hair. He tries to smooth it back but all it does is result in more of his hair sticking up than usual.]

You want my honest opinion? We do nothing.

[Even before he says it, he knows Tsukiyama will argue.]

We're both strangers to him. Maybe one day he will remember, and maybe he'll be angry with us for leaving him be, but there's nothing we can do. He's not the Kaneki we know.
whitehairedprettyboy: (hmph)

You make it sound as though this isn't also my life. I have a decent place to live, a steady job, a - [ boyfriend? Lover? Person I actually care about? ] - companion. All of which were absent in the world I came from. You'd rather I return to that? I wouldn't call it much of a life, really, in comparison.
deaftly: (SAD 💦 but what if i wasn't a minor chara)

[personal profile] deaftly 2015-01-14 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Naki turns his attention back to his Ditto, though it's obvious he's not really working on any sort of sculpture, he's just poking the Ditto a bit.]

...Yeah. I'm not good at this shit. I didn't even bother with this back home, but things are... fucking weird here. I dunno. I wouldn't have even bothered contacting you in the first place if I didn't want to help, it's just I don't know how to help and fuck, even if I did know, I'd probably just fuck it up somehow. I'm not cut out for this shit.
deaftly: (FURY 💦 and fuck you in particular)

[personal profile] deaftly 2015-01-14 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
You were? Well, I'm sure you found some way to handle it.

[Because you're Tsukiyama and you can handle everything.]

I guess the only thing to do is keep trying until something sticks.
deaftly: (SMILE 💦 you're almost as cute as me)

[personal profile] deaftly 2015-01-14 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Really?

[But. But you're Tsukiyama. You can handle this shit with no problems!]

But yeah, I do. I'm not worried about you. No matter what happened, you'll be just fine.

[...That sort of makes calling you pointless then, doesn't it...]
deaftly: (Default)

[personal profile] deaftly 2015-01-14 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well anything that can't be punched into submission is a piece of shit, so this is totally acceptable!]

I guess so. Even if you can't tell me what it is, don't completely ignore me or anything!

[Naki's looking back at the 'Gear again and the usual volume is there, so it looks like he's gotten whatever was bothering him out of his system. Even the words aren't all that serious.]
deaftly: (JOY 💦 fuck yeah fighting!!!)

[personal profile] deaftly 2015-01-14 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
You bet I won't! You try that shit and I'll track you down! Somehow!!

[Let's face it, it'd be a repeat of the hotel incident only somehow dumber.]
deaftly: (SHOCK 💦 you're not american??)

[personal profile] deaftly 2015-01-14 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not stupid, I knew that!!

[Did he??]
