Once a Turk, always a Turk.

[notontheflowers]

Characters: Reno and OPEN!
Setting: Around the dormitories, evening when it starts to cool off.
Format: prose or action brackets, they're both good!
Summary: Reno decides to take a creep around to see who's sleeping where, and maybe to bring some sort of surprise to a few special people.
Warnings: none yet, tba.

Reno walked the halls, poking his head in to various dormitories just to see who...or what was there. He was dressed in light clothes and had his usual bag that issued forth the clink of glass on glass every now and again when he moved.

Whether he's being a creep or just looking for someone in particular is questionable, he's personable enough when he sees someone though and really just seems to want to chat.

[A shrug.]

Well, yeah. We're in this mess together, and if we don't watch each other's backs they'll just get stabbed. I may not know people here but that doesn't mean I'm not going to watch out for 'em or share what I know or have if the need it.

[Getting allies is always a good way to stay alive, and it's a decent enough ulterior motive given what Reno knows.]

Not that I've got much.

[tsunball]

... Yeah, you don't have to tell me about that. [ for a moment he groans as if he's remembering something unpleasant. ]

I guess it's good to have people to rely on in this place, but how can you even be sure they can be trusted? Then you might get stabbed in the back all the same, right? It'd just be wasted effort.

[notontheflowers]

Trust isn't all this is about Leon. I'm not expecting or asking anyone to trust me, even if they don't I'm still going to look out for 'em. I don't expect them to trust me right away either, hell I don't expect anyone to ever trust me but if they do it's their own decision.

I'm not here to force anyone to do anything they don't want to, I'm not that guy.

[tsunball]

A guy who's going around helping people without expecting anything in return.. Man, I didn't think there were still many people around like that.

[ Naegi was like it, but that was just.. well, Naegi. Not some random person here. Idly he throws the ball at the floor again and catches it when it bounces back up. ]

You're a pretty strange dude, Reno. It's not a bad thing though, I could sure use some help sometimes.

[notontheflowers]

If that's how you want to think of it, sure.

[He grins a little.]

Strange doesn't even quite cover it. If you need it get ahold of me. I'll do what I can.

[tsunball]

Don't mind it then if I remember your name. [ okay, okay, at that he can't help but grin a little in return too. This guy practically offered free help, why would he not make use of that? Besides, he needs to score bro points with some more people.. ]

... Hey, have you been stuck in this dump for a long time already?

[notontheflowers]

Not really, only a month or so but I've been to a similar rodeo before.

[The Elegante.]

Nah, only a month or so but the other me's been here longer.

[tsunball]

Yeah, it's only been about that long for me too. But that's all it takes to know this place is just crazy as shi-- [ .. wait, hold that thought for a moment, what did he just say? ]

... 'Other me'? You got multiples of you running around?

[notontheflowers]

[A laugh.]

Just one, my hair's longer and he's less serious lookin'.

[tsunball]

And you don't even feel a little weird about it? It must be like looking into a mirror, man!

.. Except then the mirror even talks back!
