WHAT SHENANIGANS
WHERE bed
WHEN 88...early....

[Hey someone is your bed!

Or you're in their bed!

Maybe several people are all in one bed.

How did they/you get there? Who cares? Maybe go back to sleep, or something else. You can't seem the leave the bedroom until dawn and there are a few hours to go.]

[yusuke listens, and nods along]

How avant-garde...! You are truly ahead of your time.

[ZING]

[ZING'D

Dave's mouth does kind of quirk. TIME JOKES.]

Thanks. [Dave will go and and queue up more music] I don't know how much I want to brag about my old comics stuff; The concept was solid but lookin' back on it with the wisdom of mature adulthood it seems kind of transparent with its commentary.

[a small chuckle]

You're among many great artists, then. It's a common thing to find flaws in one's work, especially over time.

Yeah. Props to thirteen year old me, but he was kind of an ignorant tool.

Our younger selves are always the foolish ones.

[hm, hmmm. he stops and takes a look at the overall mural, then exhales deeply]

[~~Do you want to talk about it~~

Dave you can't just ask that to people you don't know.]

Do you want to talk about it.

[wait]

Your mural.

[he glances at dave, and then back at the mural]

... I have this feeling when I look at it, like one of nostalgia, but at the same time, somehow... painful. Perhaps I'm merely homesick. This is the first time I've ever left Tokyo by myself for an extended period of time.

... That sounds about right for a journey of self-actualization.

[he chuckles]

You may be right. Regardless, it seems I've done all I can for tonight.

[he gathers his materials and takes them to the bathroom sink to wash]

I should probably head back to my place.

[And now Dave realizes the door is locked.]

I don't know why I thought that would be easy.

The architecture in this building is frequently frustrating, I've found.

Yeah. Sorry. If you want to go back to sleep I can just crash n your couch.

It seems there's no other option. Very well, I believe I have some extra blankets I can spare.

Thanks, dude.

[will just, stand here. Pants-less. And be cool about it.

[he comes back a minute later with some extra blankets and a pillow]

Please make yourself comfortable. It's the least I can offer while you're stranded here.

It's cool. Probably one of the less horseshit random goings-on that have happened to me here/

Is this sort of thing common?

This thing in particular, no, things like this hell yes. This place really wants us to build relationships on the most awkward foundations possible.

What's so awkward about it?

I'm not wearing pants so that is pretty awkward for me.

Yes, I suppose you must be cold like that.

[Squints at him a lil bit]

... That's for sure accurate.

[oh! he had a realization. yusuke makes a fist and slaps it in the palm of his hand]

And pantslessness is considered unacceptable among strangers. That's what you meant.

[Haha, ok, charmed.]

Yes, you got it.

I see. I do not mind if you choose to go without pants, so please do not feel embarrassed.
