[He makes a face at romcom, but he sighs.]

I have no issue with that. There are some good ones, after all, even if most tend to be... questionable. I'd like to watch some horror movies too.

I also have no issue. [ Horror sounds fun too, she's down for it. As long as they're like, good horror movies. Well, the so-bad-they're-good ones wouldn't be bad either... ] What do you find questionable about them?

... And how long must we be a human pyramid for, while I'm asking questions?

If you get your horror movies, I'm making you guys watch My Name with me, and you're going to cry.

[Not that he's opposed to horror movies, but he might as well get the good stuff in where he can.]

It's okay to move now, Liz.

[Oh thank god he can get off the floor too, then--]

That's fine with me, Silver, but to answer your question Miss Velveteen -- romcoms are based on the problem of forced miscommunication. In order for certain things to occur, it must never cross the minds of anyone involved to simply ask, and it's a poor frame to build a story with.

[#passionate]

[ She'll slide off then, phew. ]

Perhaps they're too scared to ask—perhaps they think it's too stupid a question, or that the answer is obvious based on their perception on one situation or another. [ ...... ] Though, I haven't watched so many of them, so perhaps that's merely my biased opinion... Do you see them often, Akechi?

[He's back on his feet! ...Totodile finished his damn pretzel, because of course he did.]

We could do a chick flick instead. What's that old one again? Mean Girls?

[He..... doesn't want to answer the question if he watches a lot of romcoms, because the answer is yes and the follow up of "why do you watch them if you don't like them" has claims to an embarrassing reason, so he stands and takes his pretzel from Elizabeth, tearing off a piece to offer to Silver.]

A classic. Maybe we can pick up some DVDs while we're here.

[sorry liz that is an Ignored question a ha ha]

IncorriGirls or something... [ ...Akechi ignored her question, she's frowning at him for a second before she decides it's not worth chasing at the moment. They'll be living together, after all.

She has allllllllllll the time in the world to hound him for answers if she feels the need to. ] Is there a clearance rack for those as well, or are you two submitting to buying them full-price?

Goro can buy all the DVDs he wants. I have torrents for that.

[Before Goro can start to judge him, Silver brushes himself off and gets moving.]

Let's go find the clearance racks.

[He has no issues with pirating entertainment but he... can't say that, because that opens him up to a world of teasing from Silver. Goro simply gives the boy a soured look, shaking his head and smiling at Elizabeth.]

They have something like that too, yes, though it's more economical to go to a bargain store and look through the bins there. They have a variety of DVDs available, from the old to those that've come out in the last few years.

[but he will pick up like, a DVD or two here just for appearances sake. provided they're something he can get more than one play out of.]

[ ~~[tamaki voice] so this is how commoners live...~~ ]

And it's even more economical to simply pirate things. [ ahahaha. ] Truthfully, I do like paying for things though—especially for franchises and such that I like. It's important that they're aware people enjoy their product, and in turn, they'll release more like it.

Even if I feel like being a contributing member of society, it's cheaper to buy a streaming service or digital copies. You get more value out of your money.

[What he's trying to say is that he has crunchy roll.]

[... Maybe he should look into at least getting Netflix so he and Akira aren't depending on shitty streaming sites and risking viruses from torrents... ah, that'd make movie nights nicer too, they have such a selection...

excuse him he's just going to run into someone's shopping chart full speed, oh god, he's sorry, he's sorry, that was entirely his fault--]

[ ...Let her help you, Goro, she'll be your guide, you lost little lamb... ]

You're right, I suppose... It's hard to lose things digitally, whereas physical copies can be lost between moves... [ Also— ] Please watch your step, Akechi.

[Thank... Thank you...]

My apologies. My thoughts tend to run away from me at times.

Forget losing things. The less you have the move, the easier it is. I'm gonna have a real easy time when we all move in.

[He shrugs, like that was a perfectly reasonable thing to say, then puts a hand on Goro's head.]

I don't need to carry you, do I?

[He jerks away, turning his face away.]

No! No, no, certainly not, that's not necessary in the least, my mind won't wander anymore. Thank you for your concern. Both of you. Let's focus on the matter at hand.

[ Ooh, someone got embarrassed... ]

I agree with the notion that the less you have, the easier it is to move, yet I've still found myself picking up quite a lot over the years... or I suppose, rather, I was given a lot—mostly jewelry, clothing, things like that. Boxes to hold my valuables... I purchased game systems on my own though, and the games for them as well, though my laptop was a gift from one of my aunts as reparation for our beach vacation being canceled...

[ ......um. ]

My apologies. [ She's, uh... That is a lot of money to talk about in front of two people who decided the clearance rack was where they were getting clothes. Even she realizes that. ] I'll cull my belongings and simply leave what I'm not very attached to with my uncle.

[...She's trying to be considerate. At the same time, there's something about Elizabeth and the way she talks... It never feels like she's looking down on him. Like she thinks she's better than him. She just happens to have a different financial situation, that's all.]

Bring whatever you'd like. It's good to savor what you have.

[It's a simple statement, and it's said gently. But before it gets too personal, he switches gears.]

Besides, someone has to fill the living room, and you'll let us use your game systems, right?

[... It's odd to watch Silver be gentle at someone, it's always a surprise to see him be anything but the usual flavor -- which is more of the latter statement -- in general, and Goro nods, smile softening.]

Silver's right, Miss Velveteen. Please bring whatever you'd like; I know there's plenty of books I'm going to be taking with me, and I'd hate to be the only one with clutter in my room.

[ She's... admittedly not entirely sure what to do with this gentleness, but it isn't a bad sort of thing, so rolling with it like she's done everything else in her life seems like a decent idea. ]

Of course I'll let you use them, and Akechi, perhaps if we share any titles, we can reduce any potential clutter. Oh! [ Give her a moment, she's got her phone— ] This reminds me. I bought a housewarming gift yesterday—Silver said you wouldn't have minded me living with you two, and I assumed he would be right, and I suppose I was lucky that he was...

Regardless. [ Come here you two, look at this gorgeous music box. ] This is it. It has a very lovely tune, I assure you.

[ And it may or may not play that very lovely tune backwards at three in the morning exactly on the third Tuesday of the month but let's not get into that right now. She wants to test it out first. ]

...I'm surprised Jeager finally managed to sell that thing.

[He's not sure what drew Elizabeth to it, but you know what, Goro bought a bunch of weird stuff too.]

[Oh, it's so pretty...]

Why's that? It seems perfectly beautiful to me.

You and I have very different taste.

[But joking aside, Silver's expression grows more serious, and-]

Liz, did he tell you about that music box?

Edited 2017-07-22 00:37 (UTC)

Of course. In fact, its story is why I was interested in purchasing it in the first place.

[ c: ]

I also bought a lovely set of jewelry. [ ... ] Which does not hold any particular significance.
