Day 187 [ Open ]
[ Action ]
[ Arms full, Touma is heading home from the gift shop at the museum back to the apartment he shares with Sasha in the Streamline complexes. One can encounter him on the path from Sector 5, through the middle of the dome, and then into Sector 2.

His haul for the day? Several varieties of multi-player board and card games to fill in the empty hours on days when he doesn't feel like leaving the house (which is rather often). But he looks downright approachable today. Maybe even pleasant. He won't even mind if you stop him for a chat or ask what he's up to. ]

[ Voice ]
Well, that exhibit sure beats the others so far... [ ESPECIALLY the "stimulating" first one. But we don't talk about that. ]

So... who all picked up games at the shop? Saw a few that weren't at the arcade before. [ Touma actually sounds interested about something. Stop the presses! ]

It's not far. [ ~~translation: I have no idea. >.>~~ As they head on that way, Touma ends up trying to open the handle with one hand and it doesn't end well for him. He sighs after one of boxes topple from the stack and, of course, it flies open and spills pieces everywhere. ]

...go on in. I don't think Sasha's home. [ Going to put what he has in hand on the coffee table before going back out in the hall to clean up backgammon and chess bits. ]

	[She went in as well, putting her boxes down before going back to help him out with the spilled games.] Is she out looking at games, too? Or is that not as much her thing? [Kitty hadn't really interacted with Sasha all that much apart from the few times they'd been doing some DF stuff together. Sasha was sort of a consultant.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Didn't ask. [ For once. Together they can get this cleaned up pretty quickly, though it leaves his skin pretty clammy as a side effect. ]

You want a towel, too? Got plenty of clean ones. [ Which, before she answers, he'll head toward a wall which has a square indentation in the shape of a hand-hold, which he tugs on produce a linen drawer.

...WRONG LINEN DRAWER.

Touma shuts it in a hurry and turns his back to it, face a little red. ] —forgot which one they're in.

	Hm? Oh, sur- [Oh... whose linens were those...??? She laughed a little nervously when he quickly slammed it shut.] Yeah, yeah! No problem! Happens all the time, right? [Maybe? Kind of? Like leaving magazines out where they can be seen...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah. Right. All the time. [ Touma fumbles with the perfectly legitimate excuse. ] I do my own laundry, so I don't know where... hers goes. [ Welp. Process of elimination, he opens another drawer partway before turning to it and sliding it all the way open. ]

Anyway, here we go! [ For a change of topic. He pulls out two neatly-rolled hand towels and tosses one to Kitty. ]

	Mm. [She just nodded as she caught the offered towel.] Well, I wouldn't think people would be doing each other's laundry as a regular thing. [She started to dry herself off and looked around.] This is a pretty nice place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	such_misfortune 2012-10-17 06:47 am UTC (link)
	Ah, thanks. [ It's an odd compliment to take. ] The place is just made like this. It'd be a shame to not keep it clean. A bit more like what I'm used to than the house was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2012-10-17 07:11 pm UTC (link)
	[She nodded.] I'm kind of impressed with what they've got around here. What I've seen so far, anyway. Makes things easier, I guess. [Kitty finished patting herself dry. She didn't get horribly soaked.] So, you wanna try out one of your games? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	such_misfortune 2012-10-17 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	I'm surprised there's no Shelter... and before you say 'maybe we don't need one anymore', think about those monsters that we've got here. [ He is... not a fan of giant bugs. And Touma feels less like a dog that had jumped through a couple of sprinklers, himself. A proper bath will have to wait. ] Sure, we could do that. See any that you like?

	kitty_phase 2012-10-18 01:16 am UTC (link)
	And what if I said I wasn't going to say that? [She just smirked at him and then checked the boxes he had.] Hm... card game? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	such_misfortune 2012-10-18 03:20 am UTC (link)
	[ Touma chuckled. ] Then I'll say you probably wondered what we're supposed to do in an emergency. [ ... ] Though at least we can't all get snowed inside the same building. [ He sifts through the pile until he picks out a deck of Uno cards. ] How about this one? [ Handing it to her to look at, in case she didn't know it. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2012-10-18 03:30 am UTC (link)
	You know, that's a good point. Where would we go if we had an emergency without a shelter? [Yup! She knew that one! She nodded at the choice and sat down with him.] Have you played this one before? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	such_misfortune 2012-10-18 03:35 am UTC (link)
	[ Uh. ] Sure. It's just... been a while. [ So that's why he'll sneak a peek at the instructions real quick. ] You want anything to drink? [ Before he sits down, that is (and to give him more time to read the directions). ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2012-10-18 03:58 am UTC (link)
	Sure, thanks. Whatever you've got is fine. [She started shuffling the deck while he did that.] But, you know what I'm talking about, right? I don't think a central location for that sort of thing has been established. Maybe I should mention that to Subaru. She's been doing all that emergency preparedness stuff for the Defense Force, lately. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Hope she likes juice, then. He returns with two glasses... but no ice because the ice maker is on the fritz. Sigh. ] Sounds like a good idea. The wardens are all about warning us, but not really preparing us. [ Sitting down on the other side of the coffee table. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2012-10-18 04:28 am UTC (link)
	Exactly. [She took the offered juice with a 'thanks' and took a sip as she placed the cards face down in the middle of the table.] I shuffled. You cut the deck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	such_misfortune 2012-10-20 06:15 am UTC (link)
	[ Welp, he might as well do that much. Here is to hoping his extreme misfortune doesn't screw him over for this game. At least this isn't poker, so his lack of ability to really hide his emotions so casually won't hurt him as much. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_phase 2012-10-21 04:16 am UTC (link)
	[She took the deck from him once he was finished and then dealt them each a hand, placing the remaining cards face down in the center of the table. She pulled the top card from the pile and placed it next to the pile face up.] Okay. You go first. (Reply to this) (Parent)
