[Two new(?) recruits find themselves in the Taisho dorm today, one of them is particularly quiet and absolutely will not speak to anyone until he's read all the information provided both officially and in the newbie guide. He does not trust like that. That does however mean he lingers a long time even after fulfilling the requirements to unlock the closet, so he ends up wearing the pajamas provided to him far longer than he'd ever like. Maybe the shirt explains why he's so insistent on reading every last word before anything else. If anyone does try to speak to him before he's done, he'll either pretend they're not speaking at all, or hold up a hand to silence them. Maybe if you keep trying it'll get through, though, who knows.

Finally sometime later he finally goes back to his room to try the closet again and re-emerges with the provided taisho style... but evidently no idea how to wear it properly. He has to hold on to the hakama to keep them up, and his brow reflects the frustration of it.]

[sunflowering]

[ Being silenced is quite rude you know...! But he's new so maybe he's somewhat vexed and just...trying to figure things out.

. . . And then he's gone. Hmm. Sometime later he's back into the common area and looking a little...frustrated? Confused? Maybe both. Watching him try and hold the hakama up does cause her to cover her mouth in amusement, though. ]

. . . If you're ready to communicate, maybe I can offer some help?

[auguryofinnocence]

...It would be appreciated.

[He only scowls all the more, but at least he's speaking now, right? That's improvement.]

[artisticliberty]

Oh, that profile... what a strong jawline...!

[this young man seems to be muttering to himself, and making frames with his fingers to peer at vergil with, before he remembers he's supposed to be helping]

May I assist you with your clothing?

[auguryofinnocence]

[Hey, consider maybe, that most people don't like being stared at especially while there's muttering, and hand frames going on? Vergil grimaces at the idea of letting him touch him, but, well he does need his clothes to be on properly.]

If you insist.

[morderti]

[he isn't curious at all, but takes note of the new arrival, and actually, the quiet is just fine with him to be honest.

though he's raising an eyebrow from whatever perch he's at while watching Kaguya help him out with his clothes]

[auguryofinnocence]

[He might not be into the idea of approaching people on his own, but for the sake of snark? Maybe, after spotting that look on his face.]

Does something amuse you?

[bloodyrose]

[ Awhile later— ]

Looks like you've settled in, so to speak. Welcome to Taisho.

[auguryofinnocence]

So to speak.

[Thanks isn't really in his vocabulary, but he does nod in acknowledgement for where it should be said.]

I don't imagine it will ever truly happen.

[time5kip]

[ He doesn't bother approaching while he's reading, all the more so after he sees him shushing Kaguya. But once he's done and back in Taisho clothing- ]

You'll get used to it eventually. Would you like a cup of coffee? Or, you know. Tequila?

[auguryofinnocence]

It should come with instructions.

[At least someone isn't mocking him! He even smiles, just a tad, for the commiseration.]

Somehow I didn't expect they would supply something like that. Coffee might do it, though.

[syncintohell]

Do not think you can leave this dormitory looking like that! Hold still. Are you willing to learn how to fix this yourself, or are you going to rely on us to do this for you each morning?

[ This is an imperious sounding young man, tall but fare more delicate than imposing looking, since he looks like he's someone who considers meals more optional than most people would. He's also dressed straight-up in women's clothes, though it miiight not be super obvious to someone more unfamiliar with Japanese clothes.

He'd fuss and help out with getting his clothes fixed, but it seems both Kaguya and Fox already have that covered. ]

[auguryofinnocence]

[More eccentric than overtly feminine, but it's not something someone wearing a cravat is exactly allowed to raise an eyebrow for. That straight up bossy, snobbish attitude though? He can definitely scowl about that.]

What do you think, boy? Do you think anyone would say "yes, I'd love to be entirely unable to care for myself"?

[firststone]

[ it might not be immediately obvious there is a second newbie since the door to this room just stays closed and no one comes out but after a while there is

the sound of a voice

if you listen carefully you will discover it is a text-to-speech bot reading off the introductory info pages. ]

[sunflowering]

[ Oh... it's not just one, but two people. Doesn't this mean...

She looks at her phone. And sure enough. It causes a deep frown... but she shakes it off, and...after a moment, there is a knock on the door. ]

I'm sorry to interrupt, but... I thought maybe you'd like some help?

[firststone]

[ there isss an oddly long silence. for relative definitions of silence where the phone keeps reading stuff off ]

Uhhh, maybe?

[syncintohell]

[ Once he notices that, he's opening her door without permission. ]

So there are two of you.

[ and without any explanation, he's checking his phone to see who has been lost. ]

[firststone]

Two of what? Where's the other one?

[sunflowering]

Here ye Here ye!

[ Loudly plays into her kazoo while standing upon the literal soapbox she purchased. A-Assuming this is after various limb issues... ]

I have some suggestions! Or was hoping to get everyone's opinion on a few ideas I had.

[ Pocketing the kazoo. ]

First! What would everyone think of a multi-purpose practice room? It could be used for dancing, singing, and instruments, as well as practicing swordsmanship, our abilities, or other weapons. Just a large space that we can use for a multitude of different functions, since we all-- well, our hobbies and strengths are all pretty varied.

[ So she thought something like that would maybe be nice for everyone. ]

Second! What are your thoughts on getting a piggy bank app of some sort? Something we can all donate some points to here and there for emergencies or communal dorm upgrades?

[artisticliberty]

[raises his hand]

[syncintohell]

[ Winces at the kazoo, but. Honestly, the soap-box that she purchased is far preferable to her standing on the actual furniture. He will let this slide without scolding.

After a moment of thought: ]

I would appreciate the practice room, but request it have both full-length mirrors and a barre. Having one within the dorm would certainly be more easily accessed than the trek to the gym, and I prefer to not risk being watched when I not yet to be satisfied with my own performance.

[morderti]

Combining a room for all of that isn't going to work.

[bloodyrose]

I agree with the others. Having two separate rooms would make more sense.

[ Besides, it wouldn't be the most enjoyable if one of them wanted to train and another to practice at the same time. Even if taking turns is a thing. ]

[auguryofinnocence]

They're right, just one for everything won't last long. Perhaps, separating the thought into multiple rooms, while prioritising the one that could be relatively multipurpose initially. Until the next is affordable.

[time5kip]

I'm not opposed, though I don't really care for upgrades.
