[ hey fall dorm!

around 11:30 or so, everyone in here will get a group text! ]

hey - come down to your common room.
- ichiro

[ and doing so, you will find ichiro and riku unloading stuff from a big old laundry basket onto... whatever the setting looks like. are there tables? i hope there are or you're eating on the floor. i know nothing right now!!

specifically, the stuff in the laundry basket seems to be... a big crockpot (it's in winter colors srry) and a regular pot full of ridiculously good smelling japanese style curry, and two huge containers of rice, as well as a ton of bowls, chopsticks, forks knives and spoons, and napkins. ]

[lifeless]

[Manwol comes on down when she's summoned. She glances at Ichiro and Riku, and then at all the food.

...]

Did you and Kon make all of this?

[she'll just grab some utensils in the mean time and help set it up]

[steelo]

[ he shakes his head. a little sheepish, almost. ]

...just me. I... needed something to do, and you guys - you looked like you needed it.

[lifeless]

...Are you going to the other dorms too?

[while setting up plates, but her focus is on Ichiro. she doesn't mind coming closer to him to help out. her emotions are just deep exhaustion,]

[selfestheim]

[ hope is a good boy who has a 10 pm bedtime and puts his phone on silent so the blue light doesn't disturb his sleep so he doesn't see the text. oyasumi.

(im kidding im out right now ill be here later for family time) ]

[steelo]

[ like he wouldn't make sure hope got a special serving in a to go box if he was already in bed for him in the mornin

i mean :kicky: ]

[illuminance]

[ lux comes over to help unload things/set the table! she's moving much faster than she has been for the past two days and clearly navigating her way around chairs and things. IT'S FINE NOW. ]

... Are we receiving a gift, or company? I would prefer both, naturally.

[steelo]

[ oh weh. lux... he's glad to see her moving around a bit easier, and pretty clearly so. with a little smile: ]

...both, if you want it. I just, uh... I thought you guys could use it.

[illuminance]

I'm sure all of us would be much happier if you stay.

[ even if it's probably still a bit emotionally unpleasant to be around so many people during a bad time? oh well. oh well! ]

[txt]

... What's the occasion?

[Slowly, staring blankly like ??? what.

But, yeah. Sure. This is happening. Ichinose will help set up. Imagine if they were all eating on the floor... Wild.]

[steelo]

[ just a little sheepish with ichinose, too - he shifts a bit, rubbing the back of his neck where he's setting up. ]

... everybody needs to eat, after that, and... you guys just seemed like you really needed it. Thought I'd help out. Take as much as you want.

[txt]

[Hm. Well, she will help herself out to some curry eventually, but—]

Shouldn't you be taking care of your own dorm, Ichiro?

[ghoststrums]

[ ichiro you are spoiling the wrong dorm? gestures at summer and winter both? which is to say yamato comes down probably with taichi in tow and looks ??? ]

... Ichiro?

[ why ]

[steelo]

[ yall think you're special???


no im kidding. he gives taichi and yamato a very tired half smile. ] Hey. Come get something to eat.

[ghoststrums]

[ im taichi now ]

... Why...?

[goalsides]

[apparently he's here because yamato dragged him. he doesn't quite know what to do with his emotions, so he looks at ichiro for a moment before he blinks slowly.]

...joining us? [he's not even remotely hungry but he can appreciate what ichiro's doing and offer some semblance of hospitality.]

[alitaba]

[ futaba's probably dead on a couch somewhere watching all of this occur. she's not particularly in the mood to move at the moment (wow who knew panic attacks wore you out!!) but there's still a quiet air of happiness at seeing curry. ]

[steelo]

[ coming over immediately. he kneels down next to the couch, and reaches over to gently ruffle his fingers through her hair. his emotions are just. sad and worried, mostly, but compassionate, too. ]

...Make sure you drink some water tonight, okay?

[alitaba]

Mm.

[ there's just quiet exhaustion/an unsettling grey void emanating off of her but she does her best to stay present and smiles fondly at ichiro for treating her and the others to delicious good stuff. ]

It smells really, really good.

[Lalli is very, very late in getting back to the dorm. Ichiro is already there with his food, so everyone can absolutely be sitting right there and see this when it happens.

The front door opens and Lalli steps in. He quietly closes the door behind himself, and then he leans against the door for a moment. There's a small, goofy smile on his face, and he reaches up to rub at his cheek.

It's not exactly a good mood, because the weight of Everything from the day is still there. But there is also some feelings of relief and 'yeah, everything's going to be alright', and possibly some dokis in there too. It's a small, private moment, had by someone who clearly hasn't read that text message and has no idea what's about to happen.]

[silentscout]

[Then he actually looks up and. Freezes.

Everyone is Right There.

Exactly two seconds pass before he's turning around and scrambling to try and get the door open. In his panic he can't seem to get a grip on it though.]

[ghoststrums]

[ ... just going to come over and gently put a hand on lalli's arm ]

Go upstairs if you want to be alone.

[ a bit of fond, tired "idiot" in both tone and feeling ]

[alitaba]

[ throws a shoe at him ]

[steelo]

[



i think something gay happened here ]
