▼ A Little Greenery... (Apartment Log)

Who: EVERYONE (Those without a room can still come visit, if you'd like.)
Where: APARTMENT COMPLEXES, PISCES AND LIBRA
Summary: Massive Open Apartment Log (March 23rd - 31st)
Warnings: Rooms and stuff? If you start anything that is 16+ and up, PLEASE WARN US.

Do you remember the construction that had been going on for a while inside the apartment complexes? It had been rather silent lately, but on the 23th in the morning, you would find that the walls on each level were now filled with green walls filled with plants that survived harsh light environments, along with many herbs.

How had the managed to get so many of them here in a quick time? Magic, of course. (...No, seriously!)

The instructions were simple; those with Intel personas were asked to use their skills, if they had any, to refresh and renew the plants as they were used by the others. Thus a fresh supplies of produce could be made for a much cheaper price. The hydrophobic pumps took care of the water system.

If anyone ventured into the higher levels, they would find that the empty apartments of the 20th levels were all occupied by bulbs of all colors and sizes, flowers and vegetables in preparation of the warmer spring months. There were many scientific names on them.

It looked like they'd been handed another prototype project to go with the teleporters. But hey, at least this one seemed delicious and wasn't going to send you right into the other building's pool.

...Hopefully?

[OOC - Open Apartment Log! Talk to your neighbors, make new CR, hit on someone, get hit on!

You can find the master list of apartments [RIGHT HERE!]

[Start your thread with your character's name and apartment number/ward. You can always add what they might be doing, or just leave it open for other people to come in. Others then reply to them with the date that they come in and let the CR begin. Fun times are had by all!]

[Not much for Neku to do other than wait in the doorway. Though when she comes back, he's pretty submissive with the treatment. Other than a soft 'ow' when the spray settles onto the scratch. It stings, okay?

... of course, they're... still a little close once she's finished, and... uh.]

... thanks.

Welcome.

[Okay. She's gonna do it. She's gonna kiss her boyfriend. She will stop being a pansy and she will do it because it's what couples do except apparently for them because they're both wimps. I-it's not like they haven't kissed before or anything anyways. She's... gonna...]

[~~Goddamnit Shiki just kiss that boy.~~

She leans up on her toes a little and gently presses her lips against his, still cupping his injured cheek with one hand, her free hand coming to rest on his shoulder for support. Shiki forces herself to stay in the kiss a little longer than they ever had previously, trying to keep her nerves from getting the best of her, before finally pulling away with a small blush tinging her cheeks.

Nailed it.]

[... well, he can't say he wasn't sort of anticipating it, even though Neku knows that it's... something that both of them are nervous to do. Though, apparently Shiki is a bit less nervous about it considering she's been the one to initiate this sort of thing so far and whoa--

He pulls in a breath through his nose as their lips touch, going still for just a moment. He hadn't actually... expected anything to happen, but now that it is... It takes a second, but his hands sort of... settle on her sides, just above her hips? Is that okay? But it's warm, and it's nice, and it's lasting a bit longer than it has before...

Once they part... well, she's not the only one that's blushing. But Neku smiles, laughing once, softly. And he leans in to rest his forehead against hers.

... a little awkward, but he can deal. Not like they aren't used to it.]

[... Someone is heading to his room. Someone who looks very much like one of the participants in this kiss.]

[Neku just... stares a little. Uh. Welp. He doesn't want to be rude but he kind of needs to get to his room, and -]

[Wait a second. That picture on Shiki's phone. That's right... she looks like her friend. So the other person in the picture is Shiki, and this girl is...]

Sh-Shiki?!

[Pardon him while he just chokes on air. How did he not notice she was next door?!]

[Shiki jolts out of the embrace at the unexpected exclamation, back hitting her front door with a small thud.]

W-wha?!

[That was certainly Neku's voice she heard, but it was definitely not the Neku she was gazing up at a moment ago; she would've seen his lips moving. Her head snaps to the side in the direction she heard the voice coming from, eyes widening like saucers as she comes to see... another Neku.

Oh.

My.

God.

Please hold, your Shiki is rebooting.]

[Well, looks like this hallway is just full of mild panicking at the moment! Because as soon as Neku hears his own voice saying Shiki's name from a few steps away, his head jerks up and to the side, eyes widening. Nevermind that Shiki has just stepped away from him.

... it's just like the last time they met. Neku hasn't seen the... other him since that first day, and hasn't spoken to him, either. But here he is, standing right in the hallway with them...

... yeah, he's... going silent. And looking down at where the floor meets the wall.]

I... uh...

[... Okay, so maybe Shiki really is pretty cute in her normal body. But... but this is just...]

[His head hurts.]

S... sorry. I uh. Didn't realize you lived next door...

[He points to his apartment door, indicating it like an idiot.]

Uh... I should... uh. Leave you two alone...

[He needs to go wash his face, probably because he's actually starting to flush a little. This is kind of embarrassing...]

[Her gaze averts back to her Neku; he was obviously uncomfortable and for completely understandable reasons. Logically, she should break the conversation as soon as possible and get Neku somewhere that is definitely not here. But at the same time, politeness dictates that she really ought to at least exchange pleasantries with the other Neku, especially now that it had come out that they were neighbors of all things. After all, it was still Neku, even if it wasn't her Neku... ugh. Politeness wins.

Shiki casually steps and moves herself between the two Neku's, trying to be a sort of polite buffer zone between him and the obvious discomfort coming from her Neku. She musters up a kind smile for the other Neku, pushing a strand of hair out of her face nervously. Her other hand moves back to quietly brush against Neku's, offering to hold his hand if he felt like it at the moment.]

A-ah, no, sorry, it's okay. I didn't know we were neighbors either, heh, but I guess I should've figured I was living next to another Neku from all the music you listen to...

[Indeed Neku, she can hear your music through the walls! She never bothered to complain though, considering it reminded her of Neku and the apartment they used to share back at Facility.]

[Thank you for that, Shiki. Though it feels... odd, having Shiki standing in front of him like this, almost like a shield, it... does make Neku feel a little more secure. Normally it would be backwards, and Neku would be shielding Shiki from some sort of threat, but here... here, it's okay. He kind of needs this.

For now, he'll stay quiet, occasionally glancing up at the other him. And when Shiki's hand brushes his own, he's more than glad to take it.]

You could always tell me to turn it down if it's bothering you...

[He grins a little awkwardly. He's still not sure why the other him is so weird about this - it's weird but it's not weird enough for that...]

Uh... I'll just go... I guess both of you know where I live now, so...

[Yeah. He moves towards his apartment. Awkward turtle go!]

Oh no, it's not a bother, I'm actually pretty used to it.

[She gives Neku's hand a small reassuring squeeze from behind her back while she smiles at the other Neku.]

Yeah, wow, what a coincidence this all is! Guess we'll be seeing a lot of each other from now on... h-have a nice day, then!

[Awkward waving go!]

[That squeeze gets Neku to glance up again, though he still keeps his head down somewhat. And... tentatively returning that hand-squeeze.]

... I'll bring that jacket back.

[It's... all he can think of to say.]

No rush. If you need more clothes I've got a bunch that came with me.

[He looks over at Shiki.]

Uh... you too I guess, I've still got some from the first week. I don't know how well they'd fit, but...

It's alright, I have plenty to choose from in my apartment. Thank you for offering, though.

Ah, uhm, if I ever bother you with my sewing machine, feel free to yell at me to shut up. I'll probably be up and sewing at really odd hours...

[They didn't exactly have the most regular sleeping schedule after leaving Facility, not to mention that there were extra hours added in the day at the station.]

[The prospect of clothes from Shibuya is... kind of interesting, really. Interesting enough to get Neku to look up at his counterpart, albeit hesitantly.]

... I've got some, too, but... only a couple things from Shibuya.

[Which is his way of tentatively accepting that offer.]
