[Open Post] Don't Look Down

[aboveallpride]

 Yukio stares up at the the clock near the stove. It's late at night, and knows she should be going to sleep but... can't.

Perhaps this place isn't hell, but it still unnerves her quite a bit. I got so many people killed and I'm not getting punished for my failure... Where could Ginji be? Is he alone? He could be suffering alone! Her thoughts race

She might hear a footstep and a tall, dark gentleman in his shirtsleeves enters the kitchen. It's late and Jacquel has been inspecting the Mansion, roving it's halls and sniffing around. When he spies her, he pauses. "Don't mind me: I'm new here and still getting a feel for the place," he says, his voice a gentle ripple in the early morning quiet.

She might sense something vaguely dark about him, but clearly means her no harm.

[aboveallpride]

And she does sense it... she can't quite put her finger on it.

Still, she's friendly. “It's alright sir, I was new once too...”

[death_dawg]

"Call me Mister Jacquel," he says. "And you, Miss, are...?" He's friendly enough as he sets to work, peering into cabinets and cupboards.

[aboveallpride]

"Yukio Washimimine. Pleased to meet you Mr. Jacquel." She replies politely enough.

It's starting to be for Belize as well. Simeon's room was... empty. His stuff was there, but the shellman - his best friend and lover - was gone, and after some discreet looking around, Belize could only conclude that he somehow found a way out.

But still, it hurts. Belize's loyalty was definitely to Simeon, regardless of a brash dalliance he allowed himself to have with 11-12, before Bridget showed up.

And so he might wander into the kitchen to make coffee - he'll just give Yukio a moody nod, and that will be all.

[aboveallpride]

Lets sit and pine over lost loves! ^_^

Yukio notices the lilthe chocolate man and gives him a nod back.

[belize_queen]

Having nodded and thus been sufficiently polite, Belize proceeds to make coffee. Still in silence.

Yukio awkwardly looks away.

She expected a hi.

Perhaps at one point or another, Delilah will wander into the kitchen - she was sleepy, she got thirsty, so she didn't wake Daeron, and quietly wandered downstairs for water.

When she sees the other woman, though, she blinks sleepily. It's quite a weird hour to be burning the midnight oil.

[aboveallpride]

Yukio merely looks up at her.

“Good Morning.” She greets neutrally.

[kamloops_rose]

Delilah yawns, then blinks at Yukio. "--- Not yet, is it?" She still seems fairly sleepy.

[aboveallpride]

"Close enough..." She takes a sip of her tea.

"Whats your name?"

It's late, but that has never stopped Tsuzuki from coming to the kitchen for a midnight snack if he's up late, reading (or possibly emoing over his situation with Robin).

Which is when he spies Yukio. He almost tries to fade back into the shadows, but that would be rude. Instead, he smiles at her. "Hey there, I was about to make some tea. You want some?" he asks.

[aboveallpride]

She spots the fey shinigami. “Well, I've already made my own, but thank you...”

Yukio was so rude to him last time they met... he was only trying to help, and she just... snapped at him.

“You can sit with me if you like...”

[cute_shinigami]

"Sure thing, thanks!" he says, finding himself a clean cup and seating himself across from her. "So, how have you been since we met? You settling in all right?"

[aboveallpride]

"I've been trying to manage..." She pours him a cup.

[thistle_muncher]

She might hear something thumping at the door to the fridge, and an irritated "H'oh!" or two.

"Bother this door," a deep voice mutters, close to the floor.

[aboveallpride]

Yukio looks down after she hears the noise.

A donkey... a talking donkey.

Does Hell have talking donkeys?

[thistle_muncher]

The critter looks up. "Don't let me bother you, I'm just trying to get this door open to get myself some greens," he says, in a droning, surprisingly deep voice.

[aboveallpride]

"But you don't have hands... and you're too short..."

Silence.

"I could help you..."
