Apartment Log [OPEN TO ALL]

Summary: Massive Open Apartment Log (October 3rd - 9th)
Warnings: Rooms and stuff!

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

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

Starting this week, the apartments also now have TELEPORTERS! These allow you to go from one apartment facility to the other.

They can be found in LEVEL 4 and are big enough to accommodate everyone (but maximum 5 at a time). However, due to the fact that they are still in the testing phase, you may find yourself appearing in the wrong part of the 4th level in the other building -- and that does include above the swimming pool. Hope you like water! (Thankfully this doesn't happen most of the time...most of the time.)

Start your thread with your character's name and their room number. 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!]

[Oh, he shares that pain... But it was Elizabeth pushing him in to "teach him an important lessons in life" rather than accidental.]

I hadn't known that water was such a violent substance, to break something of his... It was something precious to him, was it not? [Like that takoyaki strip he still has.] You have one as well.

[greatseal]

[...oh theo] It's not that it's violent, water just ruins electrical objects. ... But yeah, it is precious. [probably for the same reason hers is.]

[canteachyoumore]

No, I do believe that body of water is indeed violent in some manner. [It's not the pool's fault you were pushed in, Theodore.] Is it because it... holds your music, if I am correct?

[greatseal]

You're correct... but did something happen to you at the pool, too? [Because, Theo, really...]

[canteachyoumore]

[HE WILL


NOT TELL it's

no it was an important life lesson. Theodore frowns, and sighs slightly.]

My sister [guess which gets his gloomy tone] saw it fit to teach me an important life lesson, "C'est la vie," and did so in a way that made us both quite wet. She bore no ill intent however.

[greatseal]

....So she pushed you in?

[canteachyoumore]

... Yes. She is only trying to teach me what she has learned in her own way, I'm sure.

[greatseal]

Theo...


...Have you ever considered she just likes to push you?

[canteachyoumore]

I don't see what she might gain from that line of thought. I'm sure it's just to... to spread her knowledge, as I said. [besides upsetting him, but she'd never be mean to him on purpose. it's just how she is!



maybe. their family isn't exactly normal in the first place.]

[greatseal]

She might just want to spend time with you... by teasing you.

[said as gently as you can say something like that.]

1/2

[canteachyoumore]

[... oh.

so it wasn't like he had thought.

was everything she had inflicted upon him, from the horrid tasting of Shadows to the most recent push into a C'est La Vie pool, that sort of thing?]

[canteachyoumore]

[-- but she still wanted to spend time with him!

just

not in the manner that benefits them both.]

It is her way of showing... affection, I suppose it is. Though it wouldn't appear that her guest had much to be concerned about in that aspect, perhaps it is only with family? And if so, why does she only trade barbs with our eldest? [what a mysterious sister]

[greatseal]

...It's because you're different people, Theo. You aren't Minato or Margaret, and each of you gets along with Elizabeth in your own way.

[Minato and Theo are both pushovers, but Theo is way more naive... thus leading to his downfall, as it seems. Margaret seems more aloof.]

[canteachyoumore]

[well, he's the youngest in the sense he was "born" last and in knowledge of how others tend to be. ever the child! which is why he wants to impress people with his knowledge and is rather gullible when it comes to his older sister's antics.]

While it's true she has not once shown animosity in her actions, I must wonder if every sibling does something similar to this. Surely it is not the same with you and your brother?

[greatseal]

[....]

Can I refrain from answering that?

[in other words

yes

yes it is the same.

...Although she wouldn't push him in a pool.]

[canteachyoumore]

Even Master Minako? There appears to be much I've yet to learn about you in that regard.

[regardless, he seems pleased to have found a new nugget of info.

... despite its implications. though really, he should've seen it coming with the way she even teased him from time to time on their da-- outings.]

Though, I don't believe you ever told me much about yourself in the first place. Though I was directed to assist you with your Persona and was able to see that which many do not get to witness themselves, so many facets of one person cannot hope to explain the individual as whole. That is at the discretion of the person.

[will you

tell him about your boyfriend everything]

[greatseal]

[...]

No, you're right. I don't usually talk much about myself at all.

[and if you want her to start you're going to have to ask a little more directly so she can't dodge it......]

[canteachyoumore]

[well, they are rather comfortable at the moment...

Theodore wonders where to begin. How do you, exactly, inquire about oneself having only known them by the company they kept within their soul? He would have written out questions to ask, but there was no time for such an interview. He will Elizabeth this.]

From what I gather, you are a remarkable guest who has a kind heart and a surprising number of secrets hidden within the same soul. A dear friend, powerful and able to help those who need you in more ways than one, and you're even so patient as to help me with the requests I give to you and to put up with my strangeness at times. You're very understanding as well - able to perceive that which I cannot, and to speak the words others only whisper in their mind. You bring to life the dreams they hold dear and keep them steady. You're very intelligent as well, and you manage to solve a number of difficult problems presented to you in whatever situation confronts you.

[He pauses a moment, and smiles.]

I believe you may be the most fulfilling person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, even now. Why don't you talk about yourself to others?

[greatseal]

[oh Theo... you really do say the sweetest things sometimes. For all the weird things interspersed.]

Because... for one, it's easy for you to say those things about me, but it's a lot harder to say it about yourself. You learned all of that because you've seen the things I've done, right? I think it's better for people to learn about me like that and make their own decision about who I am.

[canteachyoumore]

[It's only his most truthful observation!]

But... What if they see all which I have said in a bad light? For example, your ability to bond so easily with others may be attributed to being used to reading others and deciding the best course of action in order to strengthen yourself. Your patience with others may be seen as a mere tolerance with the thought that you will be rewarded afterwards. Of course, I don't believe you are the type myself. Are you not concerned with what others might think in that sense?

[It's kind of hurtful to say such things to her, though it is a possibility she's just playing them for fools. He highly doubts that of course.]

[greatseal]

[He's pretty insightful...] It's true... I can't say that I like it when people spread rumors about me, for example. But I can't control what other people think. I can only control the way I act. And... if I act the way I want to be, hopefully, most people will see me that way, too.

[she smiles at him.] People make assumptions based on what they see. If they see a cheerful person, then I am a cheerful person to them. But, if I told them sad things, they would see a sad person instead. And that's not who I really am.

[canteachyoumore]

I see. To show one's true colors, they must act as they wish to appear. Your soul is a happy and courageous one and thus you show that to others. How strange I must be, then, to your kind.

[Humanity seems rather flawed in that aspect, perceiving one through appearances first and their heart later on, but if all of her kind had as many layers as his guest herself did he is not surprised in the least. No wonder Lord Philemon created them! Humanity can't even unwrap itself without getting tangled in others.]

As I have said, all who step into the Velvet Room are bound on a journey, and that isn't limited to just guests. Just as you were traveling once and may be starting anew here, so am I at the moment to answer the question that burns within me and my sisters, as well as all future attendants: Who am I, and for what purpose do I exist?

While I would never ask you to answer these questions, as they are something I must learn myself with time, I wish to learn who you see when you look at me. I believe it may help.

[greatseal]

Well... [She studies him, briefly, not because she needs to look at him to decide but because she needs the time to sort out what to say.]

I see Theo. You're sweet, and kind, and very curious. You like to know and explain things and you get flustered when you find out you really don't know them, but that's okay. ...You trust what you hear a little too much. But you really want to understand... and to help people. You've already helped me a lot.

[canteachyoumore]

[Sweet, kind, curious, liking to teach, (too?) trusting, wants to understand, wants to help others. This is what Theodore is, or rather what others see him as? Or do they perceive some as something else, such as gullibility and arrogance? Even being in this realm the past two months has given him such an insight due to the fact there's sooo many people to watch, though he tries not to think about them. It's hard when they're all so interesting.]

And I hope to continue my services-- No, I will continue to help you should you ever ask, whether here or there. [That much is certain in his mind. He's very determined to follow this through.]

... My next question may seem a little odd, but please answer it all the same. Both you and your brother, from what I have heard from Elizabeth, cherish your friends very much, and Margaret's guest does as well - enough to beat even her in combat. As attendants we are able to feel your bonds strengthen, warm and cool, and it's quite a wonder to experience so for those who are unable to do so themselves. How, exactly, do you form them? You choosing seems normal concerning the selection, but with whom do you begin?

[greatseal]

[...maaaybe gullibility. At least when it comes to your sister.]

Most of the time it just happens. It's not so much about choosing... The people you spend the most time with become closer to you. But even if you talk to a lot of people, not all of them end up as your friends. The ones who do are the ones who are most interested in you back. If you keep trying you'll find someone like that, Theo.
