| "You don't have to walk around as if you're treading through a minefield..." Kazuko commented, noticing how careful he was being. She then raised her eyebrow at one of his comments. "Bomb scare? What are you talking about?" She inquired curiously as she walk over and laid the hoodie she had wrapped around her waist neatly over her desk chair. "Are you hungry or thirsty?" She knew they had stopped for food and drinks earlier but asked anyway out of courtesy. |
 |
| "Ach you didn't know? A bomb was set off on their Campus, blew a car up." Never mind das Atomic Bomb about to send us all to hell.. "I just don't want to distrub anything, ja?...no..no I'm fine. But if you want a propper meal maybe I could cook you something, unless you rather do that, ja?" |
| "I wasn't aware. How unfortunate." Kazuko admitted. "Was anything discovered? Any suspects or reasons for doing such a thing? Though it was some simple delinquents screwing around..." She mused as she sat down on the edge of her bed "You know how to cook?" She raising an eyebrow as she questioned him. The tone was that of a simply question however the look made it seem as if she somewhat doubted him. |
|
| "Ach hooligans of some sort not happy with politics." Brushing it aside he frowns at her suggestion or, apperant one. "Of course..albit mostly just European foods...if you rather cook fine by me." With that he stares back at her as if in a dare. |
| Kazuko noticed the stare and narrowed her eyes challengingly in return. "I was just thinking that I could pay you back for what you've done for me today, but if you wish to cook instead I would love to try it." She stated in a seemingly normal tone, however was obviously a throwing of the gauntlet. |

|
| Sighing he takes a seat. "Fine you win My Frau..I'll cook for you some time as well." shaking his head he heads for the door to look at the kittens in the box. Taking out hers he sets it down to run to her. "Will need litter box.." |
| She sighed at that. The so called "victory" wasn't that satisfying. In fact she was more trying to joke around or tease him than actually challenge him. "I apologize if I seemed hostile... It wasn't my intent." She apologize before looking to the kitten running towards her. "Ah... Yes, we will... Cat food too." Kazuko agreed, picking up the kitten as it got close enough to her and setting it in her lap. The fact that the cat would require food and... a place to avoid making a mess of the apartment had escaped her mind. |
|
| "No it is fine, I am curious what you can cook." Seemingly reading what on her mind he makes an offer. "I'm renting one of the duplex aparments on the mid levels..much bigger than what you have here, do you want me to keep the cat for you? You of course will have to feed and take care of it, ja?" He didn't mind helping her out in this regard, though her worry on the situation made him wonder if in the long run it would end up with her living there as well..troublesome waters or not he wasn't sure.. |
| Kazuko nodded and then thought of his offer. She held it in front of her and looked at it. "It might be happier with a bigger area..." She mused aloud, the cat meowing as she spoke. She had some concerns about it being a bit tedious, as well worried that.. certain situations could possibly arise. But the cat indeed might like it better. She let out a sigh nodded at his offer. "If you're alright with it... Toru would probably be happier there." |
|
| "It is fine, just remember it is your cat. Also I may want it declawed...I have a piano I play, you are welcomed to listen to it at any time.." With that he waits to see what she'll make or do next. |
| "Do not worry. I'll be attentive to taking care of him... Though me constantly going over to take care of him would probably get annoying after a bit wouldn't it? If it does, let me know and I'll take him and get out of your hair for a while... I know I'm not the most motivating person to interact with." Kazuko stated, placing the kitten back in her lap. "Yes... I heard you during the concert. You are quite the virtuoso." She complemented. |
|
| "no its fine..I might could keep him in one of the rooms, but I'm not sure if he should be shut up like that all day.." dismissing her praise with a wave of his hand he shakes his head no. "I'm not that good Kazuto." |
| "He'll probably want to run around and play a lot when he isn't sleeping." Kazuko mused. At his disagreement, she shrugged. "Matter of opinion I suppose, but I thought you were quite skillful." She stated. "I would not have been able to play any of those pieces. I am only skilled at book work, sleeping and actions that are necessary for my own survival... such as cooking." |
|
| "Its just a ach, hobby ja? It can never be a job for me. As to that, surely you have a hobby of your own, my frau?" He wonders about pushing it, but it seemed like it was by chance that the girl even trusted and opened up to him..she obviously has had no company in awhile..if ever. (ideas on what you want to do here?) |
| (Sorry for slow response. Was playin' Watch Dogs. xD I have some ideas for certain events, however not for right at this moment unfortunately. >.<) "I cannot say that I do. I told you, I'm only good at book work, sleeping and actions that are necessary skills for living." Kazuko admitted with a sigh. "Unfortunately, if it is anything else, I'm damn near useless. I can't do anything physical. I can't truly speak with people all that easily... And I begin to ramble when I do." Sighing once more and shaking her head at herself, she began wiggling her finger in front of the kitten, attracting its attention and playing with it. |
|
| (lol I've heard some hate on that game) "hmm...yet you talk to me Ja? Why is that?" Watching her play with the kitten he wonders what possible answer she could have, seeing some lights in the distance he mummers. "Seems the festival is ending." |
| (I have as well, it's looking okay so far. Though the driving sucks ass xD Not sure if that's due to it being on PC or if it's that friggin unstable on all consoles.) Kazuko paused at that. She didn't exactly have an answer to that question. "I don't know the answer to that." She told him. "Though that does remind me... During school when around everyone else I'll act quite differently than I am now... Most of the time I'll be sleeping actually." She warned him. She felt it was better to alert him to this now rather than he find out the next day and question it then. |
|
| "Hmm..might I know why that is? Speaking of sleeping..if the landlord is not back soon I will sleep out side, you have no need to worry, I will be fine, ja." He wonderd why she would act differently based on a location, it seemed pointlessly stupid to him. |
| "I can't let you just sleep outside." Kazuko stated, pausing a moment before continuing. "If you need to rest then use my bed and I'll wake you when the landlord returns. I tend to stay up quite late anyhow." She offered. Knowing Eric, he would completely refuse to take up her bed, especially since there wasn't really anything else to sleep on besides the desk chair, which wouldn't exactly be that comfortable. Though after what he did for her today she couldn't simply let him sleep out. Then she needed to deal with explaining to him. "I don't behave differently due to the location." Kazuko stated bluntly, as if she knew what he was thinking. "I act differently so that I don't draw too much attention. I act in a way that makes me near invisible, not really popular however not really disliked either. If you're in the middle, people hardly notice you." She explained, however expected him to then question why she would go out of her way to be "invisible". |
|
| "No. I refuse. If I must, i will take the floor, if you have a blanket that will be enough, my frau. I am used to sleeping on hard places. I will take no buts on this." Looking at her seriously, its clear he will not budge on this issue In a surrpise move he waves his had at her claim. "I can understand that, but I do not do it so well, ja? Though at work I have to do it at times. "I see no problems in it, though I would like to know why. Also I may not be able to treat you differently there. Not unless I have to." |
| Kazuko sighed at his response, though her offer was a longshot she knew. "Very well... Though why are you so used to sleeping on hard places exactly?" She questioned with a raised eyebrow. "You don't have to act differently, rest assured. I'm simply telling you now so that you are surprised. As for why..." She paused at that, unsure of how to explain. She figured just stating it bluntly would be best. "Anthrophobia. Androphobia is much more prominent however." |
|
| "Ach, the fear of people hmm? Well given what I've seen of people, I do not blame you." Laughing lightly he tries to keep her from feeling too badly about it. "Is there a cause to this?" Deciding to answer her question he brushes his right hand to the side. "It is nothing. As I said my family I am the next to do our tradition, so I lived pretty Spartanish as some would say, ja? Least this isn't the ground, or hardwood." |
| "Mainly Androphobia. I say Anthrophobia however it is more of a dislike and distrust." Kazuko further clarified. "The fear isn't irrational... It does have a proper cause." She answered him. She sighed at that answer. "That... is quite saddening to hear. " |
|
| "It is nothing Ja? At least I do not take up much space, or need much to be happy." Chuckeling at that he decides to press it a little more. "And what would that cause be? It seems you can trust me none the less, my frau." |
| "Still, it makes it sound as if you hardly ever have the capability of relaxing." Kazuko mused, scratching the top of the kitten's head. She contemplated whether she should actually explain it to him. She felt more at ease around him than other people, for whatever reason, but she still wasn't sure if she should tell him. After a bit, she sighed. "My father... I told you we weren't on the best of terms earlier didn't I? ...That was a very grave understatement." She stated the basic truth however didn't give too much clarification on the matter. |
|
| "Hmm..something happend I take it? And James said the same once. Maybe it is true." Thinking on it, when was the last time he talked like this with someone.. |
| "It wasn't just something. It didn't just happen once. It was periodic, and it would continue to be until I left." Kazuko corrected him somewhat sternly. "It probably is true. With how you talk about how you were raised and your personality, you seem like someone who always keeps busy." |
|
| "Well what was it?" He asks testidly. "Ja, I love my family however..though I will say I have missed out on things I am sure." Smiling a bit he really seems fine with it. |
| "Abuse." Kazuko stated in an annoyed tone. She decided to further explain as well, figuring he would ask for more clarification. "My mother passed away at birth. My father took it hard and blamed it on me. After that he took every possible thing that ever went wrong and figured out some way to make it my fault, as well dealing retribution for said false fuck-ups. Even if I were to be completely perfect in whatever the subject was, he would find some way to make it negative and-" She cut herself off, then paused and exhaled in order to calm herself down. The more she spoke about it the more aggravated she became. "Physical abuse, mental or emotional. Whatever he could to put me down. I assume I don't have to go into detail of the exact punishments he delivered, do I?" |
EmperorsChosen01May 31, 2014 9:07 PM
|
| "No. And for what it is worth I am sorry, me or my father both believe such men should be beaten to teach them a lesson Ja.." Staring at her with a mundane expression he sighs. "If he become a problem again while you live near me, then I will show him the Prussian Heel. So do not worry, ja?" |
| "I don't think it will become a problem. I doubt he'd go out of his way to deal with me. It'd be a waste and nuisance to him." Kazuko stated calmly before shaking her head quickly at his assurance. "That wouldn't solve anything. I fear that something like that might only make things worse." |
|
| "Very well. It is your choice. But none the less, you will not have that to worry about, ach, it is getting late. The floor is fine with me, but do you have a spare blanket?" With that he walks around the small apartment to find a suitable place to rest. |
| Kazuko nodded and stood up, setting the kitten down on her chair before she walked over to her closet and pulled out several blankets. "Yes... Here. Use them as you wish." She said, walking over to him in order to give him the blankets. "Sorry if I was aggressive... I don't like recalling it is all." She then went over to her chair and picked up the kitten once more to place on her bed. |
|
| "Understandable..good night my frau" With that he takes one as a pillow and the other to sleep on, quickly seemingly dozing off. (But what will the landord do when they find the kitten!? dundundun!) |
| Kazuko looked back at him and sighed at how easy he fell asleep on the floor. Well, he could just be really tired. He said he just arrived via plane, then went to the festival, performed and fought some lowlifes. She quickly got into bed herself, not bothering to change into her pajamas. She was pretty tired herself, after all. The kitten crawled up next to her and curled into a ball on her pillow as she closed her eyes to sleep. (Depends how much of an asshole we make the landlord xD) |
|
| (lulz move in with him?) Sighing a bit as she gets into bed, he turns to watch, not her undress but sleep, if what she said was true she wouldn't be avoiding people so much. But there was little he could do about it. But he might could look into who her father was, and if it was important, and not the typical cases of abuse. |
| Kazuko lay still, sleeping... or at least trying to sleep. Instead she just kept mulling over the day's events, as well as whether or not it was wise to have told him the truth. Earlier in the day when she met Mia, she stated to herself that other actors were difficult to deal with due to not being able to tell what they really think. However those who normally retained a stern and stoic face like Eric were decently difficult to understand as well. His personality appeared fairly easy to predict, for the most part. However that mostly stoic expression made it difficult to tell exactly how he felt about whatever the subject was. He seemed decently bored with what she told him, though she greatly preferred that than if he were to become extremely pitying or the like. Kazuko lightly shook her head and snuggled more into the pillow, shutting her eyes and clearing her mind until she would finally fall asleep. (That's one consequence xD Not sure if I should skip to morning or not considering there's still several characters out n about :/) |
|
| Waking up the next morning there's a knock at the door. Eric walks over to Kazuko and nudges her. "You have a viistor, my Frau. I think its best I not show up to answer the door, ja?" |
| Kazuko gave a slight grumble in response before the kitten began to lick and paw at her face. She let out a light growl and pushed herself out of bed. "True... That probably wouldn't be for the best..." She agreed groggily. Getting out of the bed, she headed for the door with a yawn all the while running her hand through her uncombed hair. She unlocked the door and opened only enough for her to poke her head through in order to see who it was. "...Can I help you?" She inquired, trying not to sound as if she had just woken up. |
|
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Aouli~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Having made it through central and the majority of the northern district his vertigo had mainly subsided. Seeing his home in sight he unlocked the front door and went inside. Taking a sigh in relief he headed for the stairs when he was stopped by a cold stern voice. "Where have you been?" Stopping at it he turned to see his father sitting at the kitchen table, hands resting under his chin. Responding with some truth he said "I was helping someone and things got sketchy." "I didn't want to bring it home so stayed at a friends till things blew over." Without changing his expression his father just took in his words and there was a slight silence. "That what happened to your face?" he asked after awhile. Shaking his head Aouli responded. "This was due to the fighting tournament for the festival." "My opponent got me riled up heh." he said pointing toward his face. With his expression relaxing slightly though hardly noticeable his father spoke again. "Next time call, you worry your mother you know." letting out a sigh. Thinking on this Aouli saddened a bit. Nodding his head in agreement his father stood up and made his way for the stairs in front of him. Aouli instead of following him went into the kitchen, on his way home he had realized how hungry he was. Opening the fridge there were leftovers as usual. He grabbed what he could hold and made his way upstairs. Going into his room and shutting the door he ate all he had brought up and proceeded to pass out. It had been a long past day and he was exhausted despite the food. Laying down he felt something hard hit against him. Checking his back pocket were the books from yesterday, he had all but forgotten about them. Looking at them briefly and setting them aside he rolled over and fell asleep. |
 |
| ~~~~~~~~~~Eric~~~~~~~~~~~ As the door happens Eric keeps over to the side, as an old lady pushes her way inside. "..." Look at the animals and Eric she seems to have an angry Expression on her face. "Gaijin Men, animals? My you were always a gloomy girl and a bit late on the payments, but these complaints, being true? Do you have anything to say for yourself?" Eric looks on but says nothing yet, his presence wasn't needed yet. ~~~~~~~~~~~Npc~~~~~~~~~~ After droping Yamada off the Large Russian gets his orders, Retrive Aouli. Showing up at the mans house, he carries on a long conversation with the man that calls himself Aouli's father, and plays a game of Chess, they said he had to bring him in, not when. Boris Smiles to himself at this, besides, it wasn't for sure the boy would co-operate. "Your Son had funny sleeping habits, nyet?" Though he had a feeling his presence would cause the boy to wake up fast. While he showed no outward hostility his aura or mindset as it were poured out hostile intent, from what he heard about the boy, that should do the trick. |
| "No... He's a resident. When we arrived here it was late and you had not returned, so I offered to allow him to stay here for the night until he could actually meet you to check in to the apartments... And the kittens... Are temporary. They were abandoned. Again it was late so I was unable to find them a home or even drop them of at the pound..." Kazuko tried to explain to the landlord. Though with her tone she doubted it would do any good. |
|
| "Oh is that so? Then why is he here, and no animals allowed, period." Looking ath the girl in annoyance the Land lord tilts her head. "This is your two weeks notice." Eric steps in at that. "That will not be needed Ja." The woman looks at him and scoffs. "Oh but it will, and my mind is made up, she has family, or the school to help her." Eric stares at the woman and puts his right hand on the doorframe. "I Am the Tennant that paid you well, to shut up, Ja? So If the girl is thrown out of here, then I have a spare room, so I will take her on as a roommate." The woman angerly stares about to make protests. "Or would you prefer I just take my deposit thats well above your rates, and leave? She will not be cast into the street. Am I clear." The Woman clearly angry and defeated reaches into her pocket and throws him a key card. "Unit 7..I don't care what you do, just get her out of here, keep the damnable rats as well, put up a art center, you're paying for it." With a scoff she leaves. Eric turns to face her and bows lightly. "I am sorry if that was a bit too much of an offer..or not in my place to do." |
| Kazuko merely remained silent at that. She knew that there wasn't much she could do to persuade the woman. Her school covered pretty much all housing expenses, even so it would take time for them to get her another place of housing. She was surprised at Eric stepping in. Well, not too surprised. IT was in his personality so she somewhat expected him to do something like that, but not offering his own space. She sighed and shook her head. "No... Thank you. I did not know what I was going to do. The school would have to find another place for me I suppose. I simply don't want to inconvenience you more than I already have." She stated. |
|
| "Nonesense. In return you keep the place up, and it gives me someone to play music for. It isn't like you will be freeloading, plus one of the rooms is easily as big as this apartment. I only have one rule, you do not open the room I will replace the door on. You may also handle your own affairs." Crossing his hands it seems he leaves no room to arguments. "Or is that not reasonable enough? I will not force it, but I had no plans for the thrid bedroom at all." |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~James~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Seeing a woman rather steamed leave an apartment door, James assumes it might be the land lord. "Oi!, Miss." He says waving and getting her attention. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Aouli~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Opening his eye's Aouli wakes up from his slumber. Though something is odd, he usually doesn't wake up this alert. Also something feels off, like something is wrong but he can't quite put his finger on it. Getting up he changes his clothes and heads downstairs. Noticing no one in the kitchen he heads for the living room, where he see's his dad is playing chess with a giant of a man. Saying a simple "Hey" he makes a slight wave in their direction. |
|
| "Ah Mr Aouli. I have came here to see you. A..friend of yours would like to ask you a few questions related to boating." The Russian gets up suprirsed that actually worked. "I will buy you breakfast on the way of course." |
| "Alright, thanks I am quite famished" He responded with a smile. "After you" he said motioning with his hand at the door and then returning it to his pocket. He could hear the mans accent and knew it wasn't from here. Aouli guessed it was someone from shodo who wanted him for work. If it wasn't then he would have more to worry about since they knew where he lived. |
AstrosJun 3, 2014 3:39 PM
|
| As they leave the house the Russian speaks. "Miss Shodo has need of your services, I don't know how much you told your family. So I did not mention. What would you like to Eat, Mr Aouli?" With that the Russian motions him to the limo. |
| "Well if we got time anywhere nearby will do, you hungry?" He asks. He was glad it was the shodo and not someone else. Though he was wondering what the job was this time. |
