[IN A PERFECT WORLD where the swords aren't a complete and utter mess...

Ugh, they're both cute, though. Katshuu will get a little scratch behind the ears before Kashuu seats himself next to Sayo.]

That's fine, that's fine! It's good to take some time to yourself too, y'know? Besides, your cat probably appreciates the attention.

[Did someone say too active spirits? Because Jack also thinks the house is too quiet and, after everything that has happened, he needs a distraction. Maybe teasing Mutsu will do the trick?

He perches on the back of the couch as he grabs the remote and shakes for the sword to see but still away from his reach.]

Oh? You mean this thing?

[Sayo has extra energy, but Jack is lacking it. And that's why he's taking over an arm chair, lying on it upside down. His white hair is brushing the floor, his bare feet hanging over the back of the seat. One would wonder if blood didn't cause him headaches like that, but it's not like he can go through that kind of thing anyway.]

Mmmm... bring me some ice-cream? Is there any left?

( Nodding! )

It wasn't too bad. There was a lot to do, ya know?

[She manages to tap her chin, though super lazily. A bunch of Akashi's sitting here.]

There really was. Everyone around us needed something, and we were able to help.

( He's quiet for a little while, as if thinking something over, )

Vietnam and me were talkin`... about how we started to get tired after that too...

( Connection?? )

Well, ya're normally working pretty hard, right? ( Yeah? ) Maybe ya'r spirit just needs a break.

( Look, he's trying to help. )

Nah, not really. ( I mean, he was sleepy but he wasn't really sleeping. ) Huh... I dunno.

( Was someone in the apartment with him earlier? Did someone leave? He wonders... ugh, he wasn't really paying attention. )

A lot of things have been kind of weird lately, ya know?

( Anyway, anyway, come in, Kogi, he'll step aside so Kogi can come in but woaaaah, he's a little dizzy. )

( Mutsu is not one to be intimidated easily but this is a real surprise! When he opens the door, he's practically shocked wide awake. It's the most awake he's felt in a few days, )

Iwatooshi-san!

( Sayo just gets a smile at that. He's heard the same thing from so many people, heh. )

Yeah? I guess I'm a li'l down for some reason. ( He'll step aside to let Sayo in, ) Are ya looking for Haruji?

( No why would you do this to him??? He's reaching up for it and he just can't make it. Why.... why... he's really trying too! )

Yeah...! Hey... c'mon!

( Reaaaaach... gives up. )

( Well, who is he to refuse an offer like that? He'll accept and turn the glass a bit in his hands, )

Or he was ripping ya off. ( He's teasing! Really! But he'll go ahead and drink. Despite his talk, he really isn't picky and he seems pleased enough. ) Not bad.

Got any other plans tonight, Ookurikara?

( Or are these the plans? Just drinking the night away. )

[UGH IT FEELS LIKE MUTSU TAKES A THOUSAND YEARS TO SPEAK. But he says something interesting, at least...]

Oh - both of you are tired? [And if it happened around the same time...] ...You don't think it's CERES, yeah? They've been AWOL for ages.

[ When he overheard the coughing, Ookurikara actually darts his eyes right at Haru. With little sympathies glittering over his eyes, even. Sure, he was rather out of loop with the situation of his friends, but he didn't expect someone to be this sick. Especially the saniwa of all people.

Finishing one of the dishes, he makes a slight turn to face Haru. ]

You sit down and tell me where the tea is. [ As for today (or maybe, as of today), he decides that he's going to let trivial things aside. On how people call his name, for instance. ] I'll make it for you.

[ Honestly, he still can't help but being a little dubious here. Could Kashuu even cook? Yeah, maybe pot calling kettle black a bit here, but after he arrived in this place, he got his fair share of knowledge around the kitchen thanks to his work.

But anyway, Ookurikara makes a small nod at the other sword's question. ]

Actually, yeah.

[ Could you? -- was what he would like to add, but he decided to swallow it up for the moment. Perhaps it's not a bad thing to spice things up a little.

Perhaps. ]

[ Considering what happened, it was more than likely to be true. It was just that Ookurikara probably didn't pay any attention to the vendor's offer.

Regardless, he's ignoring the teasing (with a grain of salt though) and proceeds to respond to the latter. ]

Not much. Probably just crashing around the pleasure district. [ If not doing this thing for the whole night, that is. ] Or are you actually inviting me to do something somewhere else?

[ Really now. ]

Do ya? ( He doesn't sound so sure. If this is CERES... it's kind of tame, isn't it? ) I dunno, if it was them, things'd be getting worse or something, wouldn't it?

But ya know I've been noticing... some things are kinda off.

( Have you seen Sayo??? )

[Mutsu's a little down? That's a bit... odd. He's always seem so cheerful and upbeat on most days.

Sayo nods, before he step inside.]

Yes, I am. I want to see if there's anything I can help out with. [Sayo just want to do something. A brief pause, as he looks at Mutsu.] ... Are you okay?

It seems weird for something from CERES, yeah. Too... I dunno, slow burn?

[He's basically thinking along the same lines. It's weird, sure, but it's not CERES levels of weird, which are usually enough to interrupt days of living at a time. Sayo is also the first person to come to mind at that statement, too... In fact:]

With how people are acting and stuff? ...Sayo's kinda been worrying me, actually.

[Kashuu absolutely can't cook so that's a fair concern... Sure, he knows how to stick things in the oven or work a toaster, but that's about the extent of things.]

Leave it to me!

[BUT POTATO-PEELING IS DOABLE. There's no cooking here!! There's the grossness of washing dirt off of potatoes, but that's what kitchen gloves are for! Which Kashuu will slip on before standing in front of the sink, ready to get through the whole sieve.]

Whatcha making, anyway?

[A world where Sayo is simply quiet and awkward, not creepy or disturbed at all.

Aw yis, scratches. You're cool, namesake. Sayo looks back at Katshuu and reaches out to pet his back.]

Yeah... I just feel like I want to do more. [Distraction via work! Although playing with Katshuu works as well.] But it's nice to be with Kashuu right now.

[The cat, of course. Although Sayo wouldn't object to Kashuu's company.]

[Sayo stares at Jack Frost. Well, if he's here and not kicked out, he's probably okay to be around.]

I'll have to check first.

[He's already heading for the kitchen. Sayo should be tall enough to reach the freezer and get something from inside. What flavours do they have here? He calls out from the kitchen.]

There's chocolate! Is that okay?

[Now that's a true rarity... Also kind of freaky. He's a little concerned, though his concern is considerably dampened thanks to that nifty fire effect.]

Right? You gotta spoil him! [That's what Kashuu does with his own CyBuddy cat, anyway... Which gives him an idea--]

D'you think yours would get along with another cat?

[Sayo had mostly moved on from his own worries about his emotions, as it's easier to think of other things now than dwell on Souza. It would... come back whenever the fire effect fades off, however.

Hopefully, without a crash like the water people.]

Get along? [Sayo blinks, looking between Kashuu and Katshuu.] Yes, he can... as long they're not too annoying.

[He's thinking of a certain CYbuddy when he went to see Tadashi for an app.]

[color Iwatooshi a little surprised too- it's not that he couldn't sense other swords about, but still, it's always a nice surprise to see a familiar face!]

Aha! I'm living with Mutsunokami-san? Exciting!

[he glances past the other sword, trying to peek into this apartment, and shifting into the door frame a little, too. Sorry about the sudden loss of personal space, man.]
