“Hey, my partner is out — could you be my support?”

“How long have you been working out?”

“Hey… are you okay?”

“What? They stood you up?”

“I can’t let you sit on your own; let me wait with you?”

“Wanna ditch this place and take a walk with me?”

“Would you like me to call you a cab? or call… someone?”

“It’s okay. You don’t have to — pity me.”

“Hey… are you — crying? What happened?”

“It’s fine, I’m… waiting for someone.”

1. “You woke up quick.” 

2. “Oh, hey. Hi. Did you just save me? That’s good, I think.” 

3. “All righty, then. I guess I’m winning. I don’t know exactly what I’m supposed to be doing.” 

4. “There’s probably something profound I could say about that, but I don’t have the mental capacity to formulate my thoughts properly.”

5. “Thank you for opening up this mysterious road to travel upon. I wonder how this can go wrong.” 

6. “You are all really, really weird.” 

7. “Oh no. They locked the door. Maybe they should have done that in the beginning. I was a horrible guest to have over.” 

8.  “Oh, that’s adorable. He/she/they look(s) so happy.” 

9. “That’s less cute. That’s less adorable. That’s really creepy, actually.” 

10. “This is really weird. Some backwards logic going on here.” 

11. “You’re a vampire. It’s very obvious.” 

12. “Oh, I just got so many chills down my spine. Oh my god. There’s so many things in this room that I don’t like.” 

13. “Everything in this room gives me the heebie-jeebies. This is like a room of my nightmares all in one.” 

14. “I can take ‘em, I can fight ‘em. It’s still one-on-one, even if you have two heads.” 

15. “This seems like one of the games you play at midnight and then a demon comes out and consumes your entire family.”  

                  “ You’re nothing more than just a Copycat “

It’s hard enough to get a little peace and quiet in the house of the dead, without those who are actively adding to it. Aleksandr’s had many a moment he wishes that his ability allowed him to dim sound rather than slow time, but alas this was not the case. 

“Do you and Yevgeny mind being a little more quiet?” He asks the young girl politely. 

He doesn’t want to tell Celeste off, he’s grown very fond of her since she joined them. 

“That’s because Uncle Yevvy-chan keeps choosing Rainbow Rooooad.” Celeste had grown fond of Aleksandr, as well, not to mention Yevgeny- whom she would already taken to calling ‘uncle’ in certain scenarios. This was one of them, clearly.

“Regulus, did you finished…” Kunikida paused and looked down to see a young girl staring up at him. Did Regulus just bring a child into their office?

@emptybcck liked the thing.

“Well, you’re new.” Not to her or her cameras around the city. Not completely, anyhow. But she couldn’t let that on. An informant kept her mouth shut unless she was needed.

To this customer, sitting in the booth, she was just the host that was dressed in a butler uniform. Really, that’s primarily what she was, anyhow. “Welcome to the restaurant. What can I get ya, today?”

   ❝ Am I? Well, maybe in this restaurant. I found it beautiful outside so I decided to enter and see it. Are you the owner of this restaurant? If you are, let me say this place is nice to stay. I hope the food is as nice as the looks of this place. ❞

✧ The white-haired man leaned against the table and glanced sideways at the woman dressed as a butler. He usually did not see women in men’s clothes, he thought it was charming. After showing a sweet smile, he decided to answer her question.

“That I am, sir. Name’s Masaaki Hatsumi and I’ll be your server today, as well.”

A subtle activation of Way of the Ninja allows her to reach behind her back and pull out a menu, seemingly from nowhere, and place it in front of the customer. Just from a glance, clearly this place was both a restaurant and a cafe, having a selection of meals and snacks to choose from, as well as drinks of all kinds.

It wouldn't be a waitress serving, today, it seems. Rather, it was the owner of the restaurant that came to Kunikida’s table and placed the menu down for him. Masaaki was secretly a little disappointed that the man hadn’t come in with anyone else today, but knowing at least one other member, the blond’s moment alone wouldn’t last long.
