The Gifts Keep Coming--

[flawandorder]

Who: ZRAEL and the new guy
Where: ZRAEL
When: Day 315, evening

[ As if you haven't seen and been through enough, there is one more surprise for you all. Hopefully you all had the opportunity to make it back first, because if not-- you'll return to find the door has locked. ]

[selfpreservationist]

[coming out of his room after taking a shower, has a towel draped over his head]

... who are you?

[flawandorder]

[The culprit is easy enough to find, with only his pajamas and a cursory examination of the dorm.]

I had hoped that answer would be yours to give. Seems not. [He sighs.] In that case, I cannot tell you.

[rollplayinghouse]

...Ah.

[checking her phone and frowning]

[flawandorder]

--hm?

[Oh. There are a number of people here, aren't there. Well.]

Greetings.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ walks out of his room at some point and—oh. ]

About time. I was starting to wonder if they'd stopped sending us newbies again.

[flawandorder]

Ah-- then at least one of you was expecting me.

[hissterics]

[ Sprawled upside down over the back of the sofa.

She just stares, tail flicking. ]

That didn't take long.

Maybe I'll start giving you numbers.

[flawandorder]

[Oh. We have a cat too. How quaint.]

I suppose at this point I will take what I can get.

[constellationprize]

... Oh.

[ just as she's about to leave the dorm, it seems - she's dressed to go outside, at least, but when she can't get the door open she checks her phone, frowning briefly, before turning around ]

Hi - is there anything that you want to eat for dinner...?

[flawandorder]

Ah-- [...Food, huh?] I had not considered it. You don't have to make anything special on my account.

[ruinatings]

[But lo, there are in fact TWO newbies in zrael today! This second one emerges shortly after the first, looking quite chill about it all.]

So this is where I begin... not bad.

[flawandorder]

Begin... ah. I see. Then it seems I am not the only one who was placed here.

[constellationprize]

[ ... ?????

peering at him distinctly as if she recognizes him for whatever reason, but rather than speaking on it she says - ]

Hi - um ...

[ then, ]

. . . Between cream, chocolate, and red bean - which do you think that you would like more...? Do you remember?

[hissterics]

You.

You're number three.

[ Jerks her thumb at the other newbie ]

He's number two.

None of you get to be number one.

[avestan]

[well that sure is some interesting family resemblance]

It's where you begin, and it's where you're gonna be for a while.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ well this guy looks familiar... hum. ]

Sounds almost like you were expecting this.

[rollplayinghouse]

[two!! and this one looks vaguely familiar...]

...I'm guessing you do remember some things.

[selfpreservationist]

[looking him over with no recognition, just sizing him up]

You look like you expected this.

[bad_crowmance]

[ Anyway, not more than five minutes or so after Blondie wanders in, there's a knock on Zrael's door. ]

[constellationprize]

[ opening it! ]

Hi, Ordine! Are you here to visit ... ?

1/2

[ruinatings]

[Oh, a visitor so soon after arriving? How interesting--]

[flawandorder]

[He's finally dressed properly, but only just. And already a visitor.]

Quite the popular place now, isn't it.

[avestan]

Did you bring food?

[avestan]

Oh, there's two of them.

[cool great cool and great]

[flawandorder]

[Why yes hello this is cool great and fine.]

So it seems. From what I've gathered, that means two others have moved on to free up those spaces.

[awakenerd]

[Knock knock someone is here with a big plate of onigiri.]

[constellationprize]

[ opening the door! ]

Phoenix! Hi!

Are you here to visit...?
