[That got his attention.]

I...I do?

[HE'S GOTTA FIND A MIRROR...and once he finds one OH BOY is he excited.]

I do! Oh, this is simply wonderful! Truly I cannot thank you enough!

[action]

[almostsymmetrical]

[Annnnnnd done!

Now that that's out of the way, Kid will be walking over toward Ib, with the tiniest of smiles.]

Not bad. Sure it needs a bit of work, but I think you've got the hang of this...more or less.

[That's enough talk, though. He's got to help her move these heavier items. TEAMWORK, AW YEAH!!!]

[... Wow. Granted, he can't fault the guy for wanting a clean common room, but . . . wow.]

... And people say I'm compulsive.

[notabluffingman]

Aye, lass, many do. [He shrugs monumentally.] But there's many that don't too, for reasons of being in another country, or not affording the trip in gen'ral, or preferring know as little as possible so that they can pre-tend that their little angel isn't a bleeding mutant.

[There is definitely a scathing tone on that last part, but it goes away almost instantly, and he smiles in wry amusement.] And as I understand it, at this place they're the devil for extra-curriculars.

[It is her hope that one day Kosuzu will be able to convince Reimu to read some of her favorite books. Sadly she can tell that today is not the day to try. She pauses and slips a thin braid of string she carries as a bookmark into the novella so she can put the book down. She has had a few power slips lately and knows Reimu would appreciate being spoken to in a language he can actually understand.]

At least you didn't expect me to come bother you, I guess. How are you today, Reimu-kun?

[comparative_insanity]

It really is! But I kind of like it that way. Even if the teachers are kind of tricky sometimes, at least they don't look away when someone's being bullied because they 'brought it on themselves' or anything like that.

Thank you. My mother always said symmetry was very appealing to the eye... And I like helping other people!

[Ib, no, don't encourage him-- But! Now that the heavier items are getting moved, the task is going significantly quicker.]

Always gotta appreciate food. Without it you die, so you gotta eat whenever you can.

[I guess that explains the oddly adorable set of pictures on his app then?]

Because vinyl's the greatest thing since sliced bread and disco! There's nothing like putting on an LP and letting the music take control.

[She spots the case in the back.]

Is that a violin case?

Hungry, for the most part. Haven't had a snack since this morning. -And given how his own powers worked, a constant calorie supply was a must.-

[Sanae was sitting outside in one of the more open areas, in a kneeling position on the grass. She seemed to be mouthing words but they couldn't be heard unless you were really near her. Her eyes were closed so she wasn't paying any attention to things around her, and was entirely focused on what she was doing.]

[The feed opened on Sanae in her dorm room, alone.] Ah... I was wondering if anyone had any spare materials that could be used to build a small shrine somewhere outside. It's customary for me to pray to the gods that I worship daily, so it would be much easier if there were something like what I had back in my shrine to do so. It doesn't have to be very big, just something that can remind me of home. If... if anyone's interested, please let me know!

[network]

[musou_tensei]

Why can't you just set up a shrine in your room? That's what I did.

[Action]

[allswellthatendswell]

[She giggles. Gee, there's something she's heard a million times before. It's almost comforting to hear now that she's in a new place and far from home.]

I bet you're eating more than ever now. Or are you able to get a hold of that much food?

[network]

[themiraclemiko]

I guess I could... but I'm not sure if my roommate would like that.

[Action]

[musou_tensei]

America has quite the bounty of cheap snackfood. I'm usually pretty okay.

[network]

[musou_tensei]

Screw them. America has this whole "freedom of religion" thing.

[Only after he finished adjusting the furniture did Kid bother to respond to Toushirou. Thankfully, he'd only be waiting a few seconds.]

Say what you will, but you cannot deny that the aesthetics of this room are much more pleasing than they were before.

[action]

[almostsymmetrical]

Your mother certainly wasn't wrong. Symmetry is key; nothing is more beautiful than things in life being perfectly balanced.

[Alright, that's one piece of heavy furniture down. Now on to the next one!]

By the way, I don't believe I caught your name, Miss...?

[Action]

[allswellthatendswell]

Then why haven't you gone and snacked already, instead of coming to find me?

[Action]

[icy_heavens]

I don't. [Because it really is better.] It's just that most people don't go to these lengths for it.

[Network-Voice]

[stardustreverie]

Dunno, Unless one was started after I left the last time.

But it does sound like a good club ta join!

[Action!]

[stardustreverie]

[Once Marisa is sure she can bug the girl without having to dodge a explosion or something worse, as far as she can tell, she'll sit in front of the girl and grin]

Whatcha up ta?

[If speaking didn't work..Well..Expect a poke in the forehead!]

[almostsymmetrical]

I'm not like most people.

[musou_tensei]

... I wanted to see if I could pry you out of here to grab some food.

[markedviolin]

[She nods enthusiastically.] It is!
