Setting: Floor 14

Summary: Rat drowns out months-worth of his dead world by watching cartoons about talking animals.
Warnings: Dystopian angst and Lion King spoilers idek. Potentially boys kissing other boys if when Shion shows up.

[ He's been back for barely a day, and it's a nightmare. Eating is still off-limits, the idea of consuming anything more than a little soup makes him nauseated. He can't sleep, too jumpy to relax and too full of thoughts to close his eyes. He'll be forced back to his bed eventually, but he's resisting for as long as he can. So instead, he's reclined in a bean-bag chair on the media floor, watching an old film about lions. Animals are safe. He doesn't remember animal corpses.

And then a film about mice. Fairies. Dogs. Birds. Foxes. Cats. And then another about lions. He's never seen half of these animals in real life.

He's not going to move for a while. ]

Wow... this is cuter than a lion, though...

[He smiles, eyes wide with an almost childlike innocence as he watches the little animal.]

I've never seen one of these in person before.

[ with a nod from its human, the mouse runs down onto the chair, then across to Ryoji. Rat leans back. ] He came with me from my world. I guess that'd make him a limited edition.

[Ryoji gasps a little as he watches the mouse scramble up the chair, and he puts his hands out in front of it hesitantly, wondering if it wants to crawl up.]

Amazing... I don't see a lot of people with pets here.

[rainscented]

Most people have more belongings than a bunch of mice to bring with them. They're useful, at least.

[ Ryoji's new rodent friend seems happy to climb up onto his hand, at which point it chirrups, loses interest in both boys, and starts grooming its face. ]

[notsogrimreaper]

I understand that, but if I had a pet, I would have wanted to bring it...

[Ryoji didn't have many belongings anyways. He watches the mouse with a soft smile, so engrossed in its smallest action.]
