[GOOD AFTERNOON ASGARD. Now we know you've been enjoying some delightful musical outbreaks all over the network these days, so how about we change things up a little with some classic yelling matches resulting from petty arguments in teenage boys.

Oh and this is Freya house, around room 504. They're being loud, so it probably wouldn't be too surprising to hear them if you happen to live nearby. Sorry... They'll apologize. ...Maybe...]

THAT'S COMPLETE BULL! Some sort of "watcher"? Dude, I don't watch, I'm part of the action!

[GLASSES PUSH because why.] You've never been part of any action so stop acting like you're somehow fated to get involved with anyone. In fact, I think that pegs your deviance pretty well.

[pointing at Shiki's face and still yelling don't mind Arihiko] Don't talk like as if you have the right to judge my entire life with just this. And what are you implying now, I've been involved with you since the start of middle school! [NOT GAY] What about you, Mr. Charm? There's nothing "beautiful" about your personality, and you don't exactly have the most memorable of physical appearances either!

[Smug. Smug smug smug because that is the only way to reply to something like this.] That so? I seem to remember senpai preferring me over you any day. Let's forget the actual circumstances. You have to admit that I'm the one she invited to after school tea and curry bread. Not you.

[THAT IS

SO NOT FAIR oh god he's just spluttering now] SHE'S BEEN TRICKED BY YOUR HUMBLENESS, OF COURSE ANY WOMAN AS KIND AND SWEET AS SENPAI WOULD FALL FOR YOUR SMALL ACT! DON'T SOUND PROUD OF IT!!

[Now Shiki is pointing and yelling. No way Arihiko knows anything about anyone.] WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT BEING KIND AND SWEET?! IF YOU KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT IT, YOU'D BE IN THE SAME HOUSE AS ME!

PLENTY, SINCE YOU'RE ALWAYS SO COLD AND MERCILESS AROUND ME!! BUT IF I FIND OUT YOU'VE ABUSED THAT POWER OF YOURS ON ANY WOMEN HERE, DON'T EXPECT ME TO HOLD BACK!!

WHY WOULD I DO THAT? AREN'T I A NICE PERSON TO BEGIN WITH? NICE! NOT SOME STREET THUG LIKE YOU!

SAYS THE GUY WHO'S MADE A GIRL CRY. YOU'RE TACTLESS, TOHNO!! SO DID YOU USE IT ON ANYONE YET, HUH??

Not.

Even.

Once.

[...]

Ah, so it really is you after all. I don't have to beat up your evil twin or something, in that case.

You're the worst. Why are we friends again?

Never mind that. Damage Drain. Damage Drain! Yours could get you out of a tight spot, but what am I gonna do with this? Even in video games, taking damage for someone else but not actually healing is useless! Ughhhhh. [He's grabbing at his short orange hair in frustration, ok]

Maybe you can pair up with that Shirou and be a perfect team.

No way, he's not in Heimdall too? Where does he live anyway, you still haven't given me that punk's address!

...

Wait, why are you on a first name basis with that Emiya?!

Seriously? First of all, he's in the same house I'm in. Secondly, he doesn't deserve to be called by his family name.

WHY ARE YOU ALL LIKE THAT?! And more importantly, stop using that weird logic of yours! Anyway, you can use that bracelet thing to call people, right? C'mon, show me h-- [--oh wait.

was his on... Except he can't tell so Arihiko is just looking confusedly at the camera. He left his bracelet on the table of Shiki's room on his way in...]

Just press it or something. I don't call specific people so I don't know.

Tch. Shouldn't you pay attention to these sort of things? [Grumbling, he reaches out for his, still not sure exactly what his bracelet is doing, and a few clicks later, the feed shuts off. ...Lucky accident there, but at least the screaming'll stop now.]

((OOC: Black is Arihiko, and blue is Shiki this_chair. Replies will be in separate threads because those are easier to keep track of, and threadjack may happen!))

[begrudged]

When I first got here after I ran into you. He helped me find my house.

video 6ever

[arihibro]

Huh, what a coincidence. Maybe he ran into you after I went back to the castle to check my housing... [inui is so smooth] But figures that a guy like him would go around and do that sort of thing to anyone. How'd it go? You kinda sound annoyed, or that just me?

LOVING ROOKEY INFINITYEVER

[begrudged]

He's okay... I guess? He's just kind of irritating.

[ Painwheel baby everyone irritates you... ]

LOVING JAMMIES ∞EVAR.... i can type too SOB

[arihibro]

Irritating? That's a new one. Is it his meekness, or his stubbornness? He does give help left right center without consideration, so that could get overbearing too. Hm... [arihiko you are not a psychiatrist and you never will be...]

it's ok caleb is near

[begrudged]

Stubbornness, I guess.... either way, I wouldn't have imagined that you guys are friends.

cries it's true

[arihibro]

I met him during our last year in elementary, and we went through middle school together. That bum comes to my place pretty often too, so yeah, I know, right? But Tohno's got a loose screw in there, so he needs someone to knock him around once in a while. [arihiko plz don't sound proud of it...]

we must banish the keylube

[begrudged]

Does that mean you beat him up a lot? [ Painwheel baby no.... ]

back to the kitchen and make him cook for us

[arihibro]

Yep.

[arihiko stop...]

yessss

[begrudged]

Doesn't that make you the exact opposite of friends?

[ Filia might have been kinda mean but her and Carol never got into fist fights or anything? ]

okok

[arihibro]

Nah, we're friends. Friends beat sense into friends when they do, say, or think about stupid things. [his confidence sounds perfect too...]

:|b

[begrudged]

I've never heard of friends like those but whatever works for you, I guess.

[arihibro]

I'll give you that I don't do this with my other friends, but Tohno's a special case. Just don't sweat it and leave'im to me.

[begrudged]

Okay, I'll let you know if I catch him being a jerk.

[arihibro]

Please do, Arihiko Inui, at your service!

[they sound way too chipper about this don't they]

[begrudged]

Uh, also, you shouldn't do that to me, I mean the way you treat Shiki? It'll end badly for both of us...

[ You wouldn't like her when she's angry. ]

[arihibro]

--Woah, where'd that come from? [he sounds genuinely taken aback too, and the surprise is obviously reflected on his face.] ...Of course I wouldn't do that! Haven't I already said so? He's a special case!

[begrudged]

I'm just making sure... was that too weird?

[arihibro]

Uh... No, actually. I should apologize for giving you the wrong idea. This is a normal thing between him and me, but I wouldn't dream of having that sort of friendship with anyone else. He may not look like it, but he's a really troublesome guy, take my word for it. I'd die if I had other friends like him.

[begrudged]

Oh, okay... sorry for making you feel like you had to explain yourself.

[arihibro]

It's no problem, I know we can seem weird sometimes, but it's all his fault. Does that clear it up?

[of course he's not going to say out loud that she didn't look like the type of person who'd understand what a rough but still well-meaning friendship's like, but it's why he's explaining with less talking shit about shiki more leniency than usual.]

[begrudged]

[ Good call, Arihiko. ]

Yeah. Yeah, I think so...

[arihibro]

Cool, then that's that! That said, how've you been settling?

[begrudged]

Alright, I guess.

[ This place is still really weird to Painwheel. She's still trying to adjust to everyone being so friendly. ]

... Erm, you?

[arihibro]

Good to hear! I'm not doing so bad myself. I still feel tripped out when I wake up, but it's not half bad. [how dare anyone live normally!!] Heard you could get jobs here, so I'm gonna start looking for one soon. Didja get around to take a better look at this whole place, since our day 1?

[begrudged]

Not really. I've mostly just stayed inside.

[ You really think she's going on leisurely walks looking the way she does? ]
