week 3, monday

[soba]

[ toi spent most of the early day checking out the new floor, so when he finally goes back downstairs, it's to search for somewhere to chill

he is going to walk into the study and is met with

a fuckin barrier ]

Ah--

[wakizashis]

[ too bad for toi hori claimed the room first huh? so much for quiet reading time. he starts when he hears a thump and peeks over the chair to blink at toi sprawled outside the room. hewwo? ]

Are... you alright?

[soba]

What the hell?!

[ he sits up, rubbing his face ]

Why does this keep happening?

[wakizashis]

It seems like this place has come up with a new weekly challenge for us.

[ so, so dryly. ]

You may come in at least.

[soba]

Ugh...

[ he is going to

walk over..... ]

Can't things be normal?

[wakizashis]

[ welcome to the Study Wall Of Books Hori is building ]

I'm becoming rather convinced this is normal for them.

[ 'them' of course, being the ones who actually live here ]

[soba]

They can be less normal then, in that case.

[ huh

toi does not come in here often so he just. looks around. ]

[wakizashis]

Somehow I doubt that would work the way we wished.

[ especially since the furries have been WOW THINGS ARE WEIRDER THAN USUAL about everything.

anyways, since Hori's been chatting while doing research, ignore the collection of Master Blue's(?) paperweights he borrowed to hold down the many sheets of paper that's starting to take over the table ]

[soba]

... what are you even doing here?

[ toi may not come here often, but he is pretty sure this mess was not originally here. ]

[wakizashis]

Research. It was quieter here.

[ and gestures to his pile of Book. any interest of the complete encyclopedia of myths and legends? ]

[soba]

... you're researching myths?

[ he picks up a random book from the pile to leaf through ]

[wakizashis]

[ congrats on your copy of grimm's fairy tales ]

Mm. I'm not really familiar with western ones and since we seem to be coming across them per week, I figured it prudent to fix that. They've been rather informative so far.

[soba]

Huh. You're right...

[ ... ]

I guess that might help us narrow down who Blue is.

[ potentially not japanese ]

[wakizashis]

[ i honestly hope to god if/when it happens, toi turns into a werekappa ]

And some of the effects we've been experiencing as well. [ points to his Werewolf notes because that sure was happening in the midst of everything else last week. ] This may give us a better idea of how to handle whatever else happens as the days and weeks go by.

[ a beat ]

And, potentially figuring out more about Master Blue themself.

[soba]

I guess we shouldn't be too surprised if things get changed up, but... it's a good start.

[ there's a pause ]

Kunihiro?

[ THEY'VE LIKE NEVER TALKED ]

[wakizashis]

It's one of the reasons I looked for such a variety. There's no telling what could happen next after all.

[ a blink ]

....Toi-san?

[ trials count apparently ]

[soba]

You can just call me Kuji.

[ no one has won first name rights ]

[wakizashis]

[ that's fair ]

Kuji-san.

[ a beat ]

Would you like to join me?

[soba]

Sure.

I'm not sure how much help I'd be with this.

[wakizashis]

For now, it's mostly just a lot of reading. Looking for anything that might be helpful to know. Things that might reference to experiences we've had. Which book would be the easiest to reference for future occasions. Things like that.

[ nbd ]

[soba]

I... see...

[ toi isn't a fucking nerd ]

Have you been doing this on your own?

[wakizashis]

[ f for finding the history buff in the house ]

Mm. It's similar research to what I used to do back home.

[soba]

[ he picks up another book ]

You research mythology?

[wakizashis]

Japanese history. The seeking of incredibly specific information is quite similar though.

[ research is research when it comes to such things ]

[soba]

Is there a particular reason why, or are you just interested?
