{{OOC: Man, I lose, big time. I meant to start this thread days ago but went out of town and got sick and junk (not necessarily in that order but still). Anyway, this one's for Ishida<3.}}Though five in the morning wasn't most people's idea of a fun time to go jogging, Hana and her dogs thought otherwise. Most mornings, they could be found braving ( Read more... )

Uryuu sat at one of those small café tables that seemed hardly practical for more than two people to share. Barely enough room for a couple of coffee mugs, let alone plates for a proper meal. A glance to his watch proved that the hour was naught but five past twelve -- he didn't have class until the evening. It was one of those long stretches of ( Read more... )

Head tilted to the side, he stared at the building with narrowed eyes, a slight, listless smirk hovering over his lips. He registered the missing glass pane on the front door and spared a brief glance at the set of buzzers labeled with apartment numbers and tenant names in faint, faded print. Gin wondered momentarily if the buttons actually worked… ( Read more... )

( He was glad it was over - the party that is. )

Uryuu didn't need to be told he was a moron. Because he, in fact, wasn't. However, he was often at a loss as to what to say to Kurosaki, when they hadn't laid eyes on each other in a long time, and yet -- there were just some things that didn't change. The word friend still didn't suit, didn't sit well with the relationship between them. It was ( Read more... )

Shikamaru was an obsessive early-riser. His internal timeclock had at one point been tuned to 5:00 on the dime, just giving him enough time to roll out of bed, slither into his computer chair, and pound out final essays and other such nonsense for any number of classes before dawn broke and said classes began. He was lazy, and he was a ( Read more... )

Renji liked his job. Damn it, but it was the best job he'd had in a while. It paid better than minimum wage (not by much, but it was more than being a fry cook), he got free drinks whenever the bartenders felt he needed one (not often, but still enough to make him grateful), and he got to be as threatening as he could. The best part was that if ( Read more... )

A place he was not familiar with. Not that he would be given his current status [even if he wasn't exactly hurting for cash, he wasn't about to be blowing it needlessly on establishments like this. .. though by Uchiha standards this wasn't exactly fine dining]. But the offer had been placed, and Sasuke was not about to turn it down. A challenge of ( Read more... )

Ishida hesitated before putting the key into the lock, a habit even before trying the knob to see if the door was unlocked or not. He had to gather all his patience to face Kira, something that seemed to be in short supply as his classes demanded more and more of him, and he seemed to feel the pressure from all sides. But then, he let out a sigh ( Read more... )

This was how it went - either they were slammed and he could barely get a moment to himself, or there was just. . .nothing. Not a single soul save himself and whoever else happened to be sharing the shift with him. Seeing as the schools had yet to let out for the afternoon, Sasuke guessed he had at least an hour or so to do as he pleased before ( Read more... )
