- room 7
- [ Kiryu's used to sharing a room with people, given his prison experience, but he's never shared such a nice one. Hell, he's never had such a nice one, even during the Bubble.
It means he's meticulously neat and tidy, and that he's very careful to both keep to his space and respect that of the others. He can't help, however, that this is the place where he's supposed to sleep and he doesn't often sleep with his day clothes on. So it's very likely that one of his roommates may get a look at his back and, by extension, the large and intricate tattoo on it. (They might also catch him moving his slee to the floor with some blankets because he can sort of handle a western style cot but something like this? Too soft.)
They'll also probably catch him at his morning exercise routine, which isn't much but he's getting on in years now. Gotta maintain if you want to keep the muscle.
And, of course, if he sees you? Well, if he knows you, you'll be greeted. If you haven't met yet? Gotta do those introductions, after all. ] - the dungeons
- [ Kiryu's priority in these days are those in the dungeons. Perhaps it his own experiences in being imprisoned, and perhaps it's the fact that he knows for a fact (in his mind) that the reasoning for their imprisonment is absolute garbage, but he just can't make himself care about the concerns of an 'honored guest'. Not when there are people below them, suffering the same disconnection and loss of their world as they are with quite a lot less support.
That's why he's going to go between the cells and ask if anyone needs anything, check in to see how people are doing, and (quietly) try to make sure that the guards haven't been abusing anyone. The one thing he has on hand consistently is cigarettes, and thankfully, that little fire spell he's learned is the perfect way to light one up for someone.
Looking for something? Want a companionable smoke? Need a favor? Curious why a 'guest' is down here? Feel free to say hello. ] - around
- [ Kiryu isn't the sort to make promises and not keep them, which is why most of his time during these days is spent dealing with the servants, the various people going about their jobs, and he uses every ounce of experience in helping the denizens of Kamurocho to find every potential tasks that someone might need help with and help them out with it. And if he plies those favors and assistance into the kind of supplies he needs for those in the dungeons, so be it: everyone wins. So if you spot him carrying things, doing dishes, watching children, or otherwise doing some menial, random task for someone? Well, he's not going to stop but he will happily chat with you while he's at it.
And if you just happen to be wandering? That means you might find him just about anywhere, the Tower etched on his clothes. If the cloth is thin enough or rucked up in anyway, you might notice another design on his actual skin. ]
no subject
"Kiryu-chan"
[ Because more than anything? That's been grating on him. ]
You've never called me anything else.
[ Well, he's made a few jokes with his given name but he realizes that will take time. This? This is apt to get him twitching soon enough if he doesn't ask. ]
no subject
Kiryu...chan?
[It wasn't completely out of character for him to call people he liked "chan" instead of "san" or "kun" but--this guy wasn't anywhere near his age. And was quite the benefactor so far. It felt odd not to be more respectful.
A thought occurred to him.]
Ne, when were you born?
no subject
1968.
no subject
Oh.
He understood a little better now. Logically, it made sense it was just weird thinking about it too much. It wasn't just a difference in year they were taken. Kiryu was actually born after Majima. He should have been--]
Oi! I must be an old man to ya! ...that really puts it into perspective. Still weird to think you're from another year an' all.
All right... Kiryu-chan.
no subject
Not that old.
[ He nods. ]
Thank you, Majima-nii-san.
no subject
[He said after some quick math. Whether Kiryu had meant to or not, he'd broken the spell Majima had entered. The teasing helped immensely.
He nodded once.]
Don't thank me. Ya might regret it yet.
no subject
Let me worry about that. Now.
[ He glances over at the guards again. ]
I have some work to do. People to talk to.
[ The guards don't look pleased but it's more 'scared of Kiryu' than anything else. ]
But I'll be back with matches.
no subject
He looked back at Kiryu and nodded.]
Do yer worst.
Guess I'll be seeing ya around, Kiryu-chan.
no subject
Most importantly, he'll be back. ]
