mathisradical | Match 1 [Arrival]

[ Action for 1249 Williams Road. ]

[ Niou likes sleeping in, and waking him up before he's ready will make him grouchy and grumpy, and you'll probably regret doing it. Unfortunately for him and everyone around him, he isn't able to sleep in this morning, because there's sunlight seeping through his windows.

This is his first clue that something's not quite right. His room his black curtains so that the sunlight can't get through.

He sits up and blinks. And then does it again for good measure. After the initial "these aren't my clothes", "this isn't my room", and "where the fuck am I?"s, he decides he's going to play this totally cool. Yeah, he totally wakes up in strange places every day, and being in the 50's is totally cool with him. No biggie.

So he goes to explore the rest of this house that isn't fucking his. ]

[ Phone: ]

Holy fuck, it's been so long since I last watched Grease that I forgot how people dressed back then. I seriously need t'get my hands on a leather jacket. I'll go all John Travolta on your asses. Slicked back hair and everything. [ A short pause. ] Fuck. I don't suppose there's any place around here where I can get hair bleach, is there?

[ There's a short pause, and when he speaks, he actually sounds serious. ]

Have you actually gotten a letter asking you to kill random people?

Yeah. That was a while ago, though. I'm hoping Mayfield is done with random killing for at least a few months.

Aw, dammit. Of all places to randomly wake up in, I wake up in a place that likes to play mind games. Awesome.

Mind games are a Mayfield specialty. If you'd been here just a few days ago you would have had the pleasure of being brainwashed, even!

I'm real fuckin' glad I arrived when I did, then.

Yeah, you've been pretty lucky so far. Hopefully that lasts a while longer!

What other kind of wacky bullshit has gone on around here?

That's about all I've experienced firsthand... but there's this pamphlet. In the library, I think. There's some info on that kind of stuff in it.

I should drop by the library at some point, then. I should also hunt down a tennis court and invest in a screw driver.

The school's got tennis courts. I'll warn you, though, the rackets are pretty shitty - you're better off waiting for when they decide to return yours from back home.

They'll do shit like that? Maybe that means I can get my cat back, too.

Probs, yeah - but it'll take a while. It took me, like, a month to get my racket back.

[ A whole month without decent tennis, dear god-- ]

Anything else of interest in this place?

There are restaurants that serve extremely bland food and a Cosplay Café.

[ of course the only interesting places to him are the ones related to food :T ]

...Anything that won't make me fat?

You play a sport, don't you? Work off those calories!

You play a sport too, but that hasn't seemed to help, has it?

Say what you will, but that's never stopped me from being popular with the girls.

Funny. You always seemed more popular with the boys to me. I bet the girls just liked you 'cos, to them, it was like hangin' out with another girl.

... Ew, are there really guys ogling me? Never noticed that.

Ew? [ Have a few short seconds of Niou's clipped, sarcastic laughter. ] You mean you don't swing that way? Guess I need to go over my facts again.

Hmm... how should I put this? I have no problem with anybody looking at me, whether they're male or female or old or young or ugly or pretty or whatever. It's when it goes beyond just looking or thinking that it's kinda weird... yanno?
