☃ 12th Rat Tale [text]

[icyconformist]

The scientists are the only ones responsible for bringing people into the city and sending them home, right? Do they do it randomly and as they see fit or are they acting in response to something that's happened in the city?

I think it's supposed to be random, but...

Sometimes it isn't so much.

[icyconformist]

Have people you known gone home?

[acreepybrat]

[ONLY MY WHOLE CAST]

Ah, a few. But I think I've been pretty lucky. I still have a lot of precious friends here.

[icyconformist]

[ IT'S GETTING THERE FOR ME, TOO. FAMILIIIIES. ]

Although five people from my world went home so suddenly, I still have good friends here like you, Zuko and Tsuna, so it's not entirely bad.

[acreepybrat]

[NONONO /pumps life into the Furuba cast D:]

Yuki is such a flatterer~ ♥ [Inner 'sob I am all alone' voice disagrees, but outwardly, his tone changes from teasing to gentle.] Were you really close to them?

[icyconformist]

[ One day, Yuki had roommates. The next day, he woke up and was alone. ]

Four of them were my cousins... and perhaps we weren't the best of friends, but we're still family. And, Honda-san was very important to me.

[acreepybrat]

[ffff aww Yuki]

[...] Are you lonely?

[icyconformist]

[ He is so full of angst. ]

...A little. It's hard not to be, though. [...] Why do you ask?

[acreepybrat]

[Mm delicious angst.]

Yeah...

Want me to come over?

[icyconformist]

If you want to, that's fine.

[acreepybrat]

[VERY AUDIBLE GRIN] Of course!

Want me to bring anything? Wait-- where do you live, anyway?

[Commentloooggg?]

[icyconformist]

[ What have I donnnne. ]

A-Ah. No, Oz, that's fine. Right now I'm in Horton 304.

[ Yessss. ]

[acreepybrat]

[BWAHAHAHAHA]

Alrighty then~ [Oh, he's pokin' around for something to bring. Who knowwws what it will be~] I'll see you in a bit!

[FAST FORWARD HALF AN HOUR. Commence knocking on Yuki's door.]

[icyconformist]

[ Really hoping Oz didn't bring anything because he doesn't need people going out of his way for him. BUT OPENING THE DOOR REGARDLESS WITH A PRINCELY SMILE. ]

Hey, Oz. I'm glad you're here.

[acreepybrat]

[TOO BAD. Oz is balancing what appears to be a small stack of books... and a battered pen in his mouth.]

Huhoh-- [Makes a face, and wedges the books against the wall to pull the pen out.] Hey!

[icyconformist]

[ WHAT IS ALL OF THIS?! NO. BAD OZ. DO NOT PASS GO. DO NOT COLLECT $200. ]

O-Oz! I thought I told you not to bring anything. Here--isn't heavy? You're going to drop them....
