[ Welp. This sure is a thing that's happening to him. ] [ Pretty damned quick to jump out of the bed, but then he freezes up — he's sure, for just a heartbeat, that this isn't where he went to sleep last night, and then the fact that he doesn't actually remember where he went to sleep last night hits him.

You can come looking for him if you want, but you'll have to be fast to catch him still in his room or pouring over his phone, struggling with the vague sense that, even though he knows how to operate this — thing, he's never actually used one before, because for all intents and purposes he seems to get a handle on the immediate strange in under twenty minutes.

(Plenty of time to hit all five stages of grief and decipher 🐺 into a workable handle for the time being, even if he doesn't buy it's his name.)

After that, 'Wolf' will be poking through the rest of the dorm. Catch him taking inventory of what all's in your kitchen and make him go input his color so you can get on with your day? ]

[letgrow]

[Leaning into the room]

Oh good, you're awake.

1/2 \o/!!!

[at_heart]

[ Well, he really would have dropped the blender he was turning over in his hands (looks like a decent capacity, he can think of a couple recipes that would—), but to Wolf's own surprise, he apparently has quick enough reflexes to catch the thing before it can hit the floor. Huh. ...Good to know. ]

[at_heart]

—Seems like. I mean, unless this is a really vivid dream?

[ Tiniest pause. Sets the blender down on the counter and turns to face her, sparing a beat to be glad the sleep-shirt-thing he woke up in is long enough not to be totally indecent. Hand on hip! ]

I'd say it's nice to meet you, but. Probably left my manners wherever I left my pants.

[letgrow]

Oh, your pants are in the closet! You'll be able to open it once you meet the other two. Ah, I'm Shiemi.

[at_heart]

[ ...he'll be able to open his closet once he's— ] [ You know what, sure, okay. This might as well happen. ]

Well, my 'profile' had a little. Picture where my name was supposed to be, [ and the rest of his profile was an indecipherable sequence of glyphs so that was the most useful part of it, ] but you can call me Wolf.

[ 'For now' is pretty audible in his tone. But he props up a tiny wry smile for her at the end of his sentence. He's sorry about the lack of pants. It's... probably not your fault, right? ]

[ouji4board]

[ waaaandering in to find a snack, and it takes a couple seconds to notice the-- ]

Oh, hey! New guy!

assuming one of his dark mori looks, lemme know if otherwise o/

[at_heart]

[ Doesn't jump quite so much, and he's a little quicker to offer up a grin. ]

Yeah, that's... me, apparently.

[ —And you could not be more different from the girl he met if you were trying, which. He's maybe a little relieved about, he was definitely a little skeptical about how good he was gonna look in cream and pink — whatever. ] [ So, whoever he is, he doesn't know much about fabrics, noted. ]

'Wolf'. And you are...?

[ Scrolled past your profile, too, when he was getting the lay of the land, but he is not making any assumptions about names. ]

Re: assuming one of his dark mori looks, lemme know if otherwise o/

[ouji4board]

Sativa. Or Klaus, whatever, I'm not picky.

[at_heart]

[ Yeah, definitely not what the profile said. But like he'd be surprised if they were just... complete lies. He should probably count himself lucky the photos're real enough. ]

Good to meet you. You know, apart from the — really crappy circumstances.

[ Are you a handshake kinda guy, Sativa-or-Klaus? ...Well, right now, he supposes you're more a getting-something-to-eat kinda guy. Slides out of your way, if he was in it. ]

This all, uh, community food?

[ With a glance at the 'fridge. Hoping not, mostly for the sake of any other newbie. —Well, that was a better idle thought to catch himself having than all the paranoia about Shiemi, heh. ]

[heavenlyvisitor]

Ah. It's been awhile since we had someone new. Welcome.

[at_heart]

[ Much less jumpy! By this point, he's settled in to actually make breakfast, so there's rice cooking in the rice maker (boy was he glad to see that, this kitchen's gonna spoil him), and he's pre-cooking little strips of chicken in a light oil with diced onion. It'll eventually be omurice, because that was the thing that popped into his head when he thought 'breakfast', and...... he was about halfway through the prep before he realized he was definitely making too much for just one person, so. If it really is something this guy likes, he's welcome to it. ]

Heh. Thanks. [ A glance over his shoulder, and he does blink at the eyes because they don't glow in the profile pic, but he still doesn't take his full attention off the food. Hair's tied back, just to get it out of the way of the food, and he's now wearing pants under the sleep shirt he woke up in because, you know, there's a kid in the house. If it were just you, Sativa/Klaus, and him, he might not've bothered until after his shower. ] You must be the last person on the team. I'm going with 'Wolf' for now.

[ And this is where you tell him your name. By this point, he'd be surprised if you introduced yourself as 'Crescent Rise'. ]

[heavenlyvisitor]

[ he also has small head wingies located just behind his ears (that i have not gotten around to putting on his corruptions list dont worry about it)! corruptions and seeing people with strange things that don't quite look like they should be here is something he's long since stopped having any care for whatsoever.

but, mostly, he also loves omurice, so he sits down happily at the table and waits while he cooks...!! ]

I'm Tenn - it's nice to meet you.

Ah ... Did you pick that name yourself? 'Wolf'? You broke our pattern, you know. Rude.

[at_heart]

[ Yeah, that's definitely good to know, and it also garnered a pause, but he'd have been pretty quick to look away anyhow. Staring at people for being different is decidedly not cool. ] [ And... score, then? The chicken's almost done and the rice'll be on warm before long, so then it'll just be making the omelet itself... ]

There's a pattern? [ More — amused and surprised than apologetic, sorry. ] I hadn't noticed. If there's something else I was supposed to get from the name field on my 'profile', I missed it.

[ And he might or might not accept corrections at this point. Hasn't had the name long enough to get attached, exactly. It'd... probably just be irrational contrariness or stubbornness or something if he objected. ]

402, later morning

[bondsofsuffering]

[Knocking for whenever you guys get that locked door situation figured out.]

[heavenlyvisitor]

[ opens door? ]

Good morning.

[bondsofsuffering]

Morning. Congrats on the newbie.

[Also holding out a paper bag full of donuts from one of the dessert places.]

[heavenlyvisitor]

[ slowly shoves one into his mouth. ]

[bondsofsuffering]

...I thought I was being lazy by bringing these instead of making something, but maybe donuts were the right choice after all?

[at_heart]

[ Yeah, he was not gonna get the door, he's still figuring out the vibe around here. But he might perk up a tiny bit at the sight and scent of donuts. Lifts his right hand in a jaunty half-wave which does not entirely match the crooked smile on his face. ]

Gee, you shouldn't have.

[ Nice to meet you, non-teammate. You... kind of look like Halloween had a baby with Lisa Frank, not that he'd put it in exactly those terms. But he's not one to talk, he hasn't showered yet and he's still wearing his sleep shirt over the first pair of pants he laid his hands on in the closet after it opened, so. It's not the most coordinated outfit in the world. ]

[bondsofsuffering]

[He's in this today, so- yeah, not wrong.]

Hey there! I'm Izanagi, from sensitIV. It's nice to meet you!

I also grabbed some snacks if you'd like ♪

[at_heart]

[ Good choice, Izanagi. ] [ Sliding up, into your air space. He will definitely take a donut. ]

Sure. I mean, if I'm gonna have my whole world turned upside-down, or whatever, better to do it on a full stomach.

[ Wry. ...And then a little overwhelmed by the options, might be more than he's 'used to', but he only lets that stop him for maybe half a second before he grabs one with a chocolate glaze. ]

Wolf. Although apparently it should've been some kind of flower, so. You can think of it as short for Wolfsbane, if that bugs you.

[letgrow]

[Leans out of the apothecary]

[bondsofsuffering]

[Waving!]

What's your opinion on donuts?

[letgrow]

[Waving back in greeting]

....which flavor?
