[log] Walk in harmony

[orbislife]

Who: Zenyatta and others
What: Talking about ways to keep Home in harmony and talk about what's going on in a more group-like format. Related to Zenyatta's billboard post earlier
Where: Home's sitting area on the first floor
When: Backdated to Day 4, sunset
Other: Party style log. Zenyatta will have his own top if you want to interact with him specifically

By now, Zenyatta hopes that anyone who is interested in talking about the situation and how to keep Home in harmony has seen the notes he left on the bulletin board. Sunset comes, so he removes the old notes and piles them neatly on the table. (Just in case one of the people he conversed with wants to keep the note.) Zenyatta does leave his message of "Hello world. ( ´ ▽ ` )" up. He likes it there.

There are many questions and different experiences among them. A chance to talk with one another will help make their stay easier. This situation is strange, but it need not be an unpleasant one.

More important than annoying my kouhai? Don't be ridiculous. That's always my top priority. [Kuroo smirks.] Is there anything you'd like to do, Tsukki?

[itsjustanaccount]

[Go home.]

[He doesn’t say that. It’s too pathetic to even voice, considering their shared situation. So, after a moment, he shrugs.]

Nothing in particular. We could wander if nothing else, I guess. Who knows what’s in that town.

[nekohohoho]

Sounds like a plan. If you're good, maybe I'll even buy you a treat~.

[Kuroo is being annoyingly condescending not just for Tsukki's benefit, immersing him in the comfortable familiarity of being exasperated with Kuroo, but for his own benefit. It's fun teasing Tsukki, and that comfortable familiarity isn't all one-sided.

But there's one deeper meaning, buried underneath all of that. Kuroo taking Tsukki out, doing nice things for him whether or not Tsukki wants him to...he wants Tsukki to feel like someone's still looking out for him. Tsukki's still only a first year, meant to have several years yet before being expected - and prepared - to start looking out for himself. Kuroo's not exactly out from underneath the sheltering wing of his parents and teachers and coaches, expected to handle his own business without assistance...but at least he's spent most of his third year being geared up for it. If it's unfair for Kuroo to be flung into this kind of situation, he's aware that it's two years more unfair on Tsukki. On Yamaguchi. One year more unfair on Kenma and Akaashi.

He's not sure if anyone else is thinking those kinds of thoughts but him, but he's sure that he can't just hope this world or anyone in it will somehow try to make up that deficit. So he'll try to.]

I'm sorry, Kuroo-san, but I just remembered I had to do something vitally important.

[Carefully, he tries to pry Kuroo's arm from around his shoulder.]

It entails being far away from senpai who seem to forget the ages of the people under them, so if you'll excuse me....

[nekohohoho]

[Kuroo just tightens his grip. You're not allowed to flee, Tsukki.] You're never too old for treats, Tsukki. Especially when someone else is paying. Don't you know that yet?

[itsjustanaccount]

[Well. It was worth a shot.]

Treats "if I'm good".

[nekohohoho]

Yep. Which means you hardly need to worry about me patronizing you by giving you treats for good behavior, because I don't think I've ever actually seen you on good behavior.

[itsjustanaccount]

[Excuse.]

I’m in college preparatory classes and am a first year already participating in my club matches. I’m perfectly fine, thanks.

[nekohohoho]

Are you polite and respectful toward your senpai, Tsukki? [Kuroo grins.] I never said you're incapable of good behavior, I said I've never seen it. I don't think I'm in any danger of having to take that back, either.

[itsjustanaccount]

I act perfectly fine to my captains, actually.

[....And just his captains, probably…]

[nekohohoho]

Your captains aren't offering to treat you. And for someone who doesn't want to be patronized with treats, you sure are arguing a lot for deserving one from me, aren't you?

[itsjustanaccount]

It’s the principle of the thing, Kuroo-san.

[nekohohoho]

I'm sure that's all it is. [Kuroo's smile says that he doesn't believe that for a second, and that he doesn't think Tsukki does either.]
