Scrutiny 18 - Everyone knows I'm in over my head (backdated to Friday 9th)

[meno_nikephoros]

[The Jigoberry is being held by Deji it seems judging by the height it is in the air. There's a dull sound of someone being sick in the bathroom - assumably Dev. It's broken up by him hacking and pained noises. Deji just sighs heavily.]

It wasn't me they were sensing....Someone'd been sneaking into the apartment. They wanted the girl, the guys

Got a bottle of water, if it'll help. Sometimes that shit that comes out of the faucets isn't even drinkable.

[meno_nikephoros]

...Thank you.

Mello's your priority at the moment though, I'll be okay. I just need to get myself together.

[He sits up vaguely with his hand over his usually covered eye.]

I'll come get it a little later on.

[gamer_anon]

Yeah, and Mello would kick my ass if I didn't bring it to you.

[meno_nikephoros]

He doesn't want anyone there at the moment?

[gamer_anon]

This place pisses him off. The less people suffer, the better. It's his way of fighting back. Makes it my job too.

Besides. This'll come in handy when he says all I do is play my DS.

[meno_nikephoros]

How noble of him. Makes you wish everyone was so hands on.

[Well that earns a smirk from him]

Do you? If you do I can't say I blame you. I spend most of my time with my head buried in a book.

[gamer_anon]

He hates losing. Doesn't matter if it's a person or a whole fucked up place.

Much as possible. Used to read a lot too. But that was before I discovered boss battles.

[meno_nikephoros]

[Dev nods, he can sympathise with that.]

I would play games back back home I never really had the time. Delia was the game nerd out of the two of us.

I'm still amazed she managed to make it to the second year of Uni when all she did was game..

[gamer_anon]

Who's Delia?

[meno_nikephoros]

Oh..uh she's a friend from home.

[gamer_anon]

Friend, huh.

[meno_nikephoros]

Mmm...I left her on a bad note when I came here.

[gamer_anon]

Ah...

[Well there goes his teasing.]

Have something to do with your partner?

[meno_nikephoros]

...I guess yeah. I found out a few things that scared me. Being the social retard I am..I freaked out and got mouthy at her.

Went to sleep and woke up here.

[gamer_anon]

Not exactly the poster boy for social skills myself. Mouthy, though, that I know about.

You'll get your chance.

[meno_nikephoros]

Yeah, I hope so too. I'm not so much worried about what she'll do so much as what her brothers and father will do...

['Oh shit bees', is a good way to describe his expression about now.]
