Scott Pilgrim became aware that something was different in Landel's the moment he jumped about five feet in the air at the blaring of klaxons through M85.
No, literally, he jumped five feet in the air. He hit his head on the ceiling and everything.
"Ow! Son of a-! Unff!" Scott came crashing back down to the bed, nearly breaking the frame from

Guybrush didn't even get a farewell out before his roommate tore through his gear and down the hall. He was clearly a man on a mission, one who had things to do and people to see. The pirate could have said the same for himself; still, he took his time as he looked over the room, the pink sheen that covered everything making him curious. "Ever since the intercom went off, this pink stuff has been all over everything," he remarked to no one in particular as he eyed the floor. "Though seeing Scott with his powers back makes me wonder..."
Bee-lining for the bed, Guybrush picked up Elaine's sword. "This is either going to work, or I'm going to have another embarrassing injury to explain to the experienced inspector." In the familiar fashion, one he'd not used since his arrival, he reached behind him and tucked the sword ( ... )

The door opened fast and they tumbled in, with Ramona letting go of Scott as quickly as possible while she made a graceful landing of her own. She looked around the room and quickly found any thoughts she might have had earlier about rooms quickly answered. There wasn't going to be any customization, because even Scott's room was left untouched. Then again, that might be the result of what his roommate wanted, which might have been the case. She noticed he had to have one because there wasn't one messed up covers, but two.
Ramona moved and dragged herself up onto one of the desks and sat with her legs out in front of her. "What do you have for me, Scott?" she asked, not drawing attention to the fact that they were in his room or that this was suddenly having the ingredients of being really awkward. Oh no, she wasn't about to bring attention to that.
But it was definitely there.

See, in a completely different scenario, Ramona would've seen this as strange innovation for Scott. He gave her that look he always gave her when he realized he was in love with her (or she figured that was what was going on, Ramona was in his head enough to know she preferred the simple explanations) and then him going down like that would've been a nice change of pace. Not that she minded the normal pace because, mediocre and simple as it was, it was enjoyable. She had it figured out. And sometimes, on the very rare occasion, she even got something out of it. On a good month, those occasions were less rare ( ... )

'Hurry up and get here, Niikura', was it? Well, hopefully Mike hadn't had to wait for long; the teen had done his best to get to the older man's room as promptly as possible.
"--so yeah, just stay alert, that's all," he said, smiling apologetically at Shiina as they walked down the hall. "Worse comes to worst, people find out, and then I'll really have to teach ya how to use a sword--nah, I'm kiddin'. It's not that bad. But I'll still teach ya! Haven't forgotten!"
He turned his attention back to the doors that they were passing. "Eighty-four...ah, here it is. M83." Niikura stopped squarely in front of the right door and looked back at Shiina. "Prepare yourself, now." He sounded serious, but the smile on his face (which was looking far less apologetic now) said otherwise as he lifted a fist and knocked firmly on the door.
"Oi! Mike-san! It's Niikura! Wake up, we got stuff to do tonight--oh! And I got someone ya need to meet! So get out here 'cause it ain't nice to keep a lady waitin', ya know!"

He could've made a girlfriend joke, but the situation didn't warrant it; as he spoke, he opened the door the rest of the way. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm up. It's not like I could sleep through that racket."
Looked like he had a Japanese girl with him. Maybe someone from Niikura's world? Either way, he'd find out in a second.
"Hey, I'm Mike," he nodded to her.
