the way everybody in the house express their internal turmoil is nowhere near to normal, and given the situation astrid is GLAD she’s not the only one left on earth as dysfunctional as ever. looking for a glass under the counter --- turning to alcohol might be a good answer to all these news --- her gaze darts in direction of the sofa, where a man who introduced himself as klaus the day after seems on the verge of the WORST hangover ever.  ‘ hey ! you okay there ? ’

 “You don’t call this fun?  I mean, sure I could think of better things, but I’ve been told not to do those things anymore.  So…help me figure out how this could work.”  He’s got dominos, cards, mancala and a box of dice with chess on the side.  “C’mon, you say you’re smart, how do we combine all of these to waste at least an hour until everyone gets their shit together.”

It really didn’t take much to entertain Klaus it seemed, at least from what Five could gather in due part observation and interacting with him. It was nice to see he was engaging in anything other than drugs and drinks currently, so whatever it was he wanted to do, Five would encourage. “I mean, not in a practical way. But, if we put things together like you’re suggesting—” He paused, simple grin pulling at his face before adding, “Have you ever heard of rube goldberg machine?”

for the sake of staying SOBER , klaus had apparently decided to be bound on a chair with a wire . giving that diego had helped him into this madness , astrid legit wonders whether diego is trying to KILL their brother or klaus is actually trying to better himself in the weirdest way possible . ‘ i’m gonna take knife boy’s place and watch over you for a bit while he sleeps . ’ she states dryly . ‘ hoping he’s actually getting some sleep and he’s not about to do some DUMBASS shit . ’ swirling another chair right before him , astrid takes a sit , legs gracefully crossed and arms crossed tight to her chest . ‘ so --- why are you doing this again ? ’

“I might have…angered a few of the locals.” Five usually didn’t feel much remorse, especially considering all he had put up with for quite some time, but this felt different. After everything, he was starting to normalize himself with his surroundings once more. “I didn’t mean for anybody else to get hurt—I’m so used to things just happening around me, but this…I don’t know…I didn’t mean for innocent lives to be put at risk.” It was an entirely new Five, at least compared to how he was when he first arrived back in the present day. He kew he was working on it.

“I want you to take some responsibility Klaus!” Diego spoke suddenly and almost offhandedly as if out of some sort of line, something that would have come into play were Reginald still alive. Being in that damn house always brought back a sense of reversion to how they used to be treated, and Diego felt an anger coursing through him over it. It wasn’t something he enjoyed dealing with, but as he looked to Klaus, he merely added, “You’ve got your whole I can see dead people, can you at least try to be useful?”
