[Someone is leaning on a bar at She'ol, Nathan's club. It's before opening hours, so the lights are still on and some more or less - mostly less - dressed people can be seen walking by in the background.]

With crazy weekend over, guess we finally know who's actually here to stay again.

Setsuna, if you want to buy me a book, don't get one with half-naked men on the cover. It doesn't generally contain any classic literature. If you want to purchase something with nudity for me, I'd really go with a magazine.

Not that I need that, seeing how I work at a strip club. This goes out to everyone: Come by some time! First lap-dance is on the house.

[locked to Setsuna, Alexiel and Katou]

We're moving. Hatter's house. Mansion. Whatever. Start packing.

Comments

[beyourarmy]

[Oh, Setsuna will pack all right. After he's had a little fit. He went and bought a magazine - Home and Gardens - and goes looking for Kira to smack his arm with it. He had to say that mishap over the network? Setsuna tried, okay! He hadn't noticed the cover! He didn't nine times out of ten.]

[sympathyforme]

[Kira makes a grab for the magazine, tilting his head to the side to read the title.]

Now you went wrong again! This one has to have naked people on the cover.

action;

[beyourarmy]

[For that, Kira gets a glare, and a shake of Setsuna's head. He points to Alexiel's door. Translation? You want a naked chick? You have one! You don't need a magazine.]

action;

[sympathyforme]

[Kira just laughs and takes the magazine from Setsuna, fanning through it with mock-interest.]

Are you ready to move?

Re: action;

[beyourarmy]

[A little thrown by the topic change, Setsuna just gave a nod.]

The book was for you?

[Now the book from the other day makes a bit more sense. Although, really Setsuna should have learned to pay more attention to the covers after ne pointed out the one was possibly inappropriate.]

[sympathyforme]

Did he show it off first?

[indecent_butterfly]

No. There was another one a few days ago. He ended up giving it to this One instead.

[sympathyforme]

Slightly more appropriate, perhaps. Did you learn something?

[indecent_butterfly]

It was a romance novel. [So no.]

Action for after the move

[through_glass]

[July has watched all of this in silence and is now sitting in one of the front rooms while the new people get settled. He really only knows Setsuna, is really only alright with Setsuna. He doesn't say this though because he doesn't want.

Mirror in his hands, he watches people in the City.]

[indecent_butterfly]

[The others are all quite capable of dealing on their own, so ne's going to check on July even if he hasn't complained about anything. It's still impossible for nem to tell if anything bothers the boy, if it's even possible, but most would be a little off put by so many strangers moving into a place that one considers home.

The quite is nice for now knowing how loud the others will end up being, so ne joins him on the couch just sitting close enough to be there if he wants nem to be.]

[sympathyforme]

[Upon entering the room, Kira looks at July, dismissing Belial with just a side-glance. His expression is hard to interpret, but he does step closer and stops in front of the boy.]

That's him?

[The question is for Belial, though he doesn't spare a second look in nir direction.]

[through_glass]

[July says nothing and doesn't even look up at Kira. In fact, it rather seems like he's ignoring him. However, he is watching him from the window, his Spirit there. Of course, neither of them can see it but that doesn't matter.

He can see them.]

[beyourarmy]

[Setsuna isn't the type to keep a lot of things. A basketball, few clothes and some jewelry is the most of it, outside of a bed and a nightstand. The clothes all hang up in a closet just nicely. Needless to say, he's finished pretty quickly. Not that he wouldn't want to help the others, but he wants to say hi to July more.]

[Besides, he's such a quiet kid, and off to the side. Not that there's anything wrong with a behaved child, but Setsuna's not used to it. He gives July a hug in greeting, along with a soft smile.]

[Also, he's got a stuffed teddy bear with him that he hands to July. Newly bought, tags removed, and everything. Kids like stuffed animals, right? He hands it to July, wondering if he will like it, or take it, or do anything.]

[through_glass]

[The hug is unexpected. People just don't hug Dolls, that is not the way things are. Then there is the toy which he takes after putting his mirror back into his pocket.

Tilting his head, he stares at it then tilts his head the other way.]

A toy.

[beyourarmy]

[Still no smile from July, but at least he took it. Setsuna nods his head. A toy. Yes.]

[It doesn't even occur to him to wonder about the glass.]

[valentineluke]

Had a profitable weekend as well?

[sympathyforme]

M-hm, these weekends always pay off. More patrons, more tips, all very nice fringe benefits of complete chaos.

[valentineluke]

Given a choice between shuttering the gate or overflowing coffers, I'd pick the former.

[sympathyforme]

You're free to do as you wish.

( Action )

[confined_to_briah]

( Kira will find himself in the awkward position of having a knife at his throat. )

Is that an order?

( Action )

[sympathyforme]

[Some things are just impossible to get used to and being threatened like this might be one of them. Despite that, Kira doesn't even flinch, instead just smiling at her.]

Would I dare order you around?

( Action )

[confined_to_briah]

I thought you knew better. ( She tilts her head, keeping the blade steady. ) Why are we moving?

( Action )

[sympathyforme]

[He could make a mention of how she's making it sound like fact already, apparently heeding to his order, but... Well, he doesn't have that much of a death wish.]

Because there's more space there and no need to pay rent. Do you mind?
