Who: Gundam Tanaka

hamham and you!
When: All day December 22nd
Where: Various!
What: Gundam needs a little help with various things, and also a little food in his belly.
Rating/Warning: Probably a warning for profanity yeah.

[A - In the Gardens]

[It's a pretty nice morning out, and as such Gundam can be found enjoying the weather on a bench in the garden. Or at least, maybe he's enjoying it? It's a little hard to tell with the scowl he's wearing, glaring down at a pad of paper in his lap and tapping his pen against the edge of it. What is he working on that's got him so annoyed? If anyone wanted to peek at the paper, they'll see that all he has written is the word "Topics". The rest is blank. Don't get too close though, or you'll be greeted as followed:]

Do not draw too close, mortal, or you will regret leaving your abode today.

[B - Shopping District]

[And here this nerd is again, later in the morning after he left the gardens whether successful or not in whatever he was doing, moving around from store to store. In each instance, he's heading straight for the animal section, scrutinizing all of the available products before moving on. If you're wondering what he's doing, you may be in luck, because eventually he approaches someone nearby with a question.]

Tell me...do you know where I might find alfalfa hay or raw, unsalted seeds of various types? Answer me immediately, but know that if your answer is unsatisfactory I will destroy you where you stand!

[Wow he's real good at asking for help.]

[C - Lunch]

[Around noon this oh so imposing figure can be found glancing over various food stalls, looking for something to eat. He never really draws close enough to look like he's going to order, but does spend time carefully reading over any menus available and debating on exactly what sounds good.

A lot of things sound good, to be honest. Decisions decisions...]

[Closed to Kuzuryuu]

[Genius here decided to boast about his Netherworld balls to his one and only friend, which sort of bit him in the ass once he realized he needed to find a suit. Couldn't very well tell this friend that no, he's never attended a ball before and has no idea what you're supposed to wear to them after that. That'd be kind of embarrassing. But luckily he knows this guy who knows a thing or two about suits who for some reason is willing to put up with him and help him look for one. Which is good, because if he were going himself he'd probably have chosen something hideous.

So after returning home to put his loot away and call Kuzuryuu up, he once again returned to the shopping district to bum around and wait for him there. Maybe peer questioningly at some of the shops around. Did he show up fully dressed as usual? Of course. Why do the smart thing and ditch the coat, over shirt and scarf when trying on clothes if you can just make everything a little more dificult for yourself?]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[It's not like keeping Gundam on a leash would hurt anything. He finishes taking the scarf off, the hamsters looking curious as to what exactly is going on.]

I will be sure to do so next time.

[Hey here you go Kuzuryuu. Have a scarf being set around your shoulders and wrapped, once, loosely around your neck.

..........that is way too long on you...maybe he should wrap it a few more times.]

[Oh hell no. Oh hell no you are not wrapping your dumb stinky nerd scarf around his neck.]

My hands and shoulders work just fine, you know! You can keep your scarf with you.

[It's way too long for him, Gundam, just stop this is ridiculous.]

If they get fussy, it would be better to have the scarf with you. It would be a much better pacifier than what you might be able to provide for them.

[It'll be fine just gotta wrap it enough so it's not dragging on the floor.]

How fussy can they possibly get in like five minutes??

[Okay so how many times do you have to wrap it around shortie's neck to accomplish that?]

It takes only one wrong misstep to upset each other.

[Good question. Three, four, five...the wraps are all very loose, so thankfully they use up a lot of the material. Maybe seven or eight times? To keep both ends from trailing on the ground...]

[PROBABLY JUST THREE OR FOUR. JESUS. HE'S NOT THAT SHORT.]

[He sighs, clearly accepting his fate as temporary hamster house.]

Fine. I'll just sit right over there and wait then. Show me after you've changed and we can figure out where to go from there.

[Because he's assuming you didn't grab a dress shirt too. So they need to figure that out. Gotta get that color scheme matching!!!]

[But okay, jeez are you going to hand over the hamsters or just stand there and wrap your scarf around him for the rest of the evening?]

[You sure he is not that short.

But okay okay wrapping is done and hams are being carefully transferred from his shoulders to Kuzuryuu's, where they promptly bury into that scarf.]

I will.

[You're right, he didn't. He just saw the suit and will probably put the jacket on over his t-shirt for now. But off he goes to try that on. Enjoy those hamsters scurrying around in the scarf, on your shoulders, against your neck, etc.]

Nrgk--!! [Kuzuryuu's posture suddenly goes rigid as the hamsters start scurrying around in the scarf. It's kind of hard to tell, but from the way his skin is moving, it almost looks like the eye under his patch might be twitching a little. Nope. Still definitely not used to how weird this feels, especially now that there's four of them and it's his WHOLE DAMN NECK instead of just Maga-Z exploring his shirt collar.]

Right okay. Just hurry up and go do it already.

[Shoo, shoo. He's just...gonna go sit on this stool over here outside the dressing room and try and see what he can do to make this feel less weird.]

[He's doin' it don't worry! Working on getting his boots off right now!

Those hamsters though man, they are exploring this new and strange environment. San-D gets a turn in the ~~suit~~ dress-shirt scarf, Maga-Z is investigating what's underneath said dress shirt, Cham-P is sniffing at the back of his hair and Jum-P...

Jum-P is being an angel, curled up against his neck and napping away.]

[Bless you, Jum-P. Bless you.]

Oi, oi!! The fuck do you think you're doing?! [Is that San-D or Maga-Z going doing his shirt? He can't tell but he's trying to stop whoever it is.] Get out of there, go back in your scarf!

[This...probably looks very strange to any passersby who might be around. Just some random kid squirming on a stool, wearing a scarf that's way too big for him and trying to get to his own shirt collar under said scarf.]

[You're welcome.

But no, Maga-Z is not going to come out of there and go back in the scarf. Sorry, down the shirt he goes. HE IS A FREE HAM HE DOES WHAT HE WANTS.

Gundam is working on those pants now. Getting the suit pants on, that is. Yes, he will look so dashing in this ensemble. Though he's frowning at the bandages. He still doesn't see what is so bad about them.]

[Okay but what if he gives up trying to find his shirt collar and just clamps his hand down over Maga-Z from the other side of his shirt? LET'S SEE YOU SLIDE AWAY NOW, FUCKER. YOU'RE GOING NOWHERE.]

I said stop it, you little shit!

[Are you too absorbed in putting on your suit to hear the wonderful sounds of Kuzuryuu yelling at one of your hamsters just outside the door, Gundam? Because he's only a few feet away from our dressing room. And he's not really keeping the volume down.]

[If so, you might want to hurry up with getting dressed...]

[Squirm squirm squirm!! He sure is trying to get free! Can you keep a hold of a hamster who can fit through some pretty small spaces, Kuzuryuu? He's doing his best to squirm out from under his hand.

Meanwhile, back up by his neck, he's going to feel Cham-P (or one of the hamsters, at least, but it's Cham-P), starting to snuffle and brush through and lick the hair on the back of his neck and head. Awww he's grooming you!

But yes, Gundam can hear those sounds and he's trying to be quick! Doing up the fly now and then just gotta put on that suit jacket...]

N-ggksshh!! [What on earth was that noise. Apparently it's the sound a yakuza makes when little ham hands decide to start grooming him. Why is this happening. This is too much hamster nonsense for him to deal with at once.]

[He'll keep as firm a grip as he can on Maga-Z, still determined to keep the little guy from squirming out and doing god knows what inside his shirt. The other hand though will reach back towards his neck, nudging at Cham-P in an attempt to get him to stop grooming.]

[WHY CAN'T YOU TWO BE MORE LIKE JUM-P AND (PRESUMABLY) SAN-D?]

What are you doing back there, dumbass!? Quit it!

[They do not quit. Neither of them do, Maga-Z still squirming, Cham-P still grooming, at least until they hear their hamdad's voice.]

Are you not enjoying their affection?

[Gundam finally makes an appearance and three of the Devas poke their heads out to say hi. These being Cham-P, Jum-p and Maga-Z, who opts to push his head between the button line of his shirt and some pair of fingers. Gonna squeeze his head out there to see hamdad--

Once the three of them catch sight of the suit he's wearing though, they all return to what they were doing. It seems even his hamsters can be embarrassed by him sometimes.]

I didn't mind it till this asshole decided t-- [He cuts off upon looking up because dear god what is that suit.] What...the fuck is that.

[It's not even a question. Just...Gundam, no. EVEN YOUR HAMSTERS ARE EMBARRASSED TO BE SEEN WITH YOU. JESUS. HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?]
