[Naoya flicks on the video, sitting in the park, with his eyes closed. He opens them after a moment, and stares straight into the camera.]

... Tell me, Marina. Warden's opinion aside... is it better to go along with rules, or demand a reason for them? And is it better to do what is expected, or what makes logical sense?

[He looks thoughtful, and then switches off the video.]

[[ooc; Naoya's open for action if anyone would like. ... Also there may be random lapses in tagging. /shakes Turkish internet and also muse that wouldn't leave me alone]]

[Orihime plays with her communicator a bit until it turns on. She's looking much better, smiling into the communicator, wearing pajamas and without the pins in her hair, for once. She's also curled up with her back to the wall and her legs to her chest, on the floor of her new house. There are no lights on.]

I picked out a house...! I thought it would be kind of cool to have one, since -- ehe, Tokyo real estate is so expensive, maybe I won't ever be able to afford a house. There's all these rooms and all this space! I have an entire floor just to hang out on, and then there's bedrooms upstairs...

[She trails off a little, and glances back at the house, smile dimming slightly as she considers it. Still pleased, but something's still bothering her.]

But it's so much bigger than my apartment, and kind of quiet... I can't get to sleep now.

So, um. [sheepishly] What's everyone else's living situation, I guess? Did you move in with friends, or with friends you made here...? Do you have a house or an apartment or live in the big underground shelter thing...?

[Nothing much interesting is going on other than Lyle sitting at a table in the kitchen with a couple of books. He was making notes for the two classes he is teaching, but he has decided that first he needs to make a post then he needs to actually get some sleep.]

I'm glad that everyone seem to be doing better now. It seems like everyone around here has woken up even if they aren't completely with it. It was a bit odd being the only one awake here. At least now, class stuff can take up some time.

[He reaches forward and presses a button. For the majority of people the post will end here. The rest will continue to only one person.]

[Private to Mikuru Asahina]
Mikuru, I just wanted to introduce myself since we are going to be working together. I'm Lyle Dylandy and we'll be teaching history together.
