Welcome to Gaia! ::

In order to add money to his paycheck, I decided to not use a room, and instead just enhance my office instead. Here's a basic floor plan of what it looks like:



If you're kinda confused with all the labels, here's what it looks like without labels.




Yes, everything is the same color the corresponding item is. The walls and carpet of the main office area is red. This is because red is scientifically proven to discourage sleep, and well... Hey, you try to stay awake when you're grading tests, filling out paperwork, and everything. And yes, I know my couch is backed up against a bookshelf. It folds down into the floor when I'm not using it. If you have any trouble with History, or simply want to talk, feel free to stop by. Apart from the front door and the bathroom, there aren't any other doors. Instead, I built in Roman arches.

I think that's everything you need to know right now. Feel free to stop by at any time! Unless the door is locked, of course.

((cut form the dance. Ryuk had run off after seeing Lucas sweep Hachi off her feet))

Ryuk sat on the edge of his brother's couch. When Dane got angry and depressed, he punched holes in things. His brother, on the other hand, merely shut down. He sat cross legged, his hands draped loosely on his lap, with his head hanging from his shoulders. If one didn't know any better, he'd look dead. His breathing was too shallow to notice, and his face was slack and devoid of all emotion.

Ryuk, damn his instincts, reached forward and grabbed the biggest apple, taking a bite out of it.

Ryuk: I hate you, Bradley. I'm trying to be depressed, dammit! Why do you keep cheering me up?!

Ryuk: Well, you know me. I'm a regular heartbreaker.

He "kukuku-ed" lightly, grabbing another caramel apple. The one he had just finished hadn't even hit the floor yet.

Ryuk: So, what can I do to make you not want to beat the tar out of me?

Ryuk: you're gonna need to be a little more specific, Bradley. Otherwise, I'll end up telling you my whole life story.

Ryuk: I have no idea why I feel like that. Don't worry, I'm not gonna scream if you say I love her. I'm a Liberated Death Spirit now. I won't die if I use my note to extend another's life, so therefore, that insult holds no meaning for me anymore.

He fell silent for a whole two minutes before continuing.

Ryuk: I have no idea why I fell for her. If I knew that, why would I flirt with everyone I see to see if maybe, just maybe, it was some sort of fluke, rather than love? That's the reason I kissed you. I wanted to see if I felt the same way as I did when I kissed her... I didn't, in case you haven't figured that out.

Ryuk: If I knew what I was feeling, I wouldn't be having all of these problems, now would I? I've gone a hundred thousand years without feeling so much as fondness. I have no f*cking clue what love is. Depression, I know. I feel it every time I get shot down by her. But love? I have no idea.

Ryuk: Hell if I know. I'm usually too preoccupied by shoving the "I'll never be able to be with that" thoughts away to notice physical symptoms.
