how the mighty have fallen

Characters: Isamu Nitta and whoever dares.
Setting: Various floors in the first block. Cafeteria, mostly. His bedroom (1-06) if you're a roomie.
Format: surprise me any
Summary: The Mighty Isamu, Master of Amala, now lost and confused in his new surroundings, is doing his best to avoid contact with others. It's easier to tell how much of a freak you appear to be when there's more than just demons around to judge.
Warnings: He's kind of an ass.

The chest by his bed had contained his clothing, though the most Isamu had really done was switch out the white outfit he'd woken in to his old jeans and hat. Trying to cover himself with a shirt was pointless. It was too tight and rubbed against the growths uncomfortably. Anyone who saw him after he snuck out would just have to deal.

-Cafeteria-
It's been a couple days since Isamu's arrival, and he's hungry. He'd been taken care of in the Amala Network after a time, but here? Here the neglected and empty pieces of his still-human system had nothing to keep them from crying out for attention. Hiding in his room did little good when it was shared (though he did try) so he waits until night to make his way to the cafeteria.

Being refused anything but a bowl of oatmeal, he considers skipping out on food entirely. His stomach has other ideas, however, and oatmeal is one of the few things he might actually be able to get down (that isn't a straight liquid) after a good while of not eating at all. He moves to a corner of the room and does his best to eat there without being noticed.

-Floor 3 / Library-
Searching through the books here reveals little about anything. One would have thought that with so many words at least some of them would be useful. He doesn't stay here long, and he leaves a mess of scattered books behind him when he leaves.

-Floor 4 / Lounge-
The rest of his time out is spent in this room, curled up on a futon against the wall and doing his best to make himself invisible to others so that he can have some time to ponder things in private.

"You should pick up after yourself. Don't you know that's rude?"

It's not Aleph who scolds him - rather, it's his Lilim, hands on her hips as she attempts to block his way. Aleph glances over at his bookworm of a demon from the aisle across.
alephbet: (Then I'll never have to speak again)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-09-08 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Hey! Don't just ignore me!"

She picks up a book and throws it at him. Whether it hits him or not, Aleph clears his throat and speaks up. "Lilim, don't bother."
alephbet: (I think I taught you well)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-09-08 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
He is, and he sighs as Lilim continues to huff. "Are you making fun of me?"
alephbet: (Sell your watch today)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-09-08 11:35 am (UTC)(link)
Aleph shakes his head. "I could, but it's unfair to them to be kept in the same place for a year. They're not hurting anybody... throwing books doesn't count."
alephbet: (Sell your watch today)

"Nobody's suggesting that you or I stay cooped up in storage all the time. It's no different." Another shrug. "Do you not deal with irritations at home?"
altitonant_emperor: if i could get people like him to change their ways (♔ i rambled on about rules and fairness)

[ A little dirtied from neglecting to use the elevator, he stepped off the staircase and headed towards a couch near the glass wall, though he notices the... weirdo on the futon. ]

Good afternoon. [ Necessary pleasantries accomplished, Hidetoshi continued past the futon where the teenager was curled up to the couch. ]
altitonant_emperor: dressed up in ice (♔ silent and sorry)

[ After he flops down on the sofa, he tiredly pulls out his throwing knives, before setting about patiently wiping the grime off the knives. They're not very resilient, so they get nicks and wear through usage, but they're also his main means of defense in combat.

There's several minutes of silence.

Hidetoshi doesn't pay attention to the sound of the other person's quiet footsteps nearing him until he abruptly realizes there is somebody standing behind the sofa. He twists around to look. Hidetoshi blinks.
]

...

Yes? [ If he sounds a little testy, it's because standing there and staring down at him wordlessly is odd behavior. ]

altitonant_emperor: no i'm sorry it's fuck YOU (♔ in the stormiest seas)

[ It's the way the other teen words that half-demand which irritates Hidetoshi. It stinks of a bully, and he wouldn't be bullied by a weird ignoramus with ghoulish... faces (?) leering out of his skin into leaving a lounge he had full right to be in. Curtly; ]

I don't agree. Now, what prompted you into thinking I would?
altitonant_emperor: i am 672% done with these fucktards (♔ can't survive on sincerity alone)

Floor 4

[ Rude enough he doesn't care. ]

Oh, is that so.

[ Hidetoshi schools himself to glare look only at his face, not at those ghoulish face-growths that covered the rest of him. Not wanting to have the other teen looking down on him from behind, he stands up from the sofa and fully turns around to face him, squaring his shoulders. ]

Don't be ridiculous. There is plenty of space here, and if you find my presence disagreeable, just move somewhere else in the lounge.
altitonant_emperor: i hate people with no common sense (♔ cannot compute the sheer stupid)

Floor 4

[ Boohoo. What a tragedy.

He finds this guy more slightly... irritating by the moment.
]

Then I suppose you will have to weight your like of that space over your dislike of my presence here.

[ Because Hidetoshi sure isn't planning on moving. ]
altitonant_emperor: /long-suffering facial expression goes here (♔ they mistake selfishness for freedom)

[ Well, he helped kill a eyeball-tentacle water-monster with a grappling hook okay, beat that. Hidetoshi frowns and folds his arms across his chest, mentally thinking punk. ]

As a matter of fact, yes. I actually have no idea who you are, or why you're bothering me. It's starting to look like you're tediously wasting my time.

[ This guy's aura didn't really measure up to people like Uryuu or Ruana. He... Honestly, he couldn't even be that much older than Hidetoshi himself at the best. ]
Edited 2013-09-13 02:05 (UTC)
altitonant_emperor: pay attention to me when i'm talking (♔ that is no way to love)

I was accompanied before you came over here, you know.

[ This guy's all hot air. He looks at him like he's sprouting off gibberish. ]

The Mighty Isamu? Sounds like a corny superhero title some kid would give himself. [ Maybe the 'Master of Amala' bit meant something significant and important in that world, but it didn't ring a bell with Hidetoshi. ]
alephbet: (Shake it out shake it out)

[personal profile] alephbet 2013-09-13 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
That guy had some social issues.

Aleph sighed and started fixing the tables after Isamu left.
