Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ryan decided that he'd needed to get himself an apartment. He didn't think that it would be well appreciated if he kept sleeping where he did (mainly in the Men's Organization meeting room). Looking into the first room on the first floor, he saw it was empty, and decided to take residence there. He didn't really have that many things, but he did make sure to return to the dining area, where the room roster was affixed on the wall next to the hallway leading to the rooms, and signed his name next to "First floor, room #1" using the pen that someone had conveniently left.

Returning to his room, Ryan closed the door, reached to lock it, and found no lock. Eh, I'll find a way to lock it later, he thought. He flopped on the bed and reached to the bedside table on his left, reaching for the familiar radio dial...which was not there. Now...that won't do. Sighing, he got up and left in search of a radio.

Holding his lover's hand, Nagi led Yuki up the stairs to the first room on the second floor. The only thing he could think about was the person connected to the hand he was holding and how soft her skin was. His mind was pretty much vacant of anything else at this point. He wasn't going to bother thinking about what would happen once they reached their destination. He already knew. There was no point in dwelling on it out of fear of making him nervous of the idea.

Sliding the door open, he stepped back a moment, allowing Yuki to enter first. He had always seen this gesture as proper etiquette and nobody would ever change his mind on the fact. Though with the mind-set he had at the moment, his mannerly intent also revolved around the idea of getting to close the door himself. He didn't quite know why something like that mattered to him but he'd think about it later. For now, there were other things on his mind and he wasn't going to ruin it for nothing.

The room wasn't as chilly as it used to be. Luciky, everything was tidy and in its rightful place. The temperature didn't concern him but he was indeed grateful that the place wasn't a mess. At least some good came out of the fact that Nagi very rarely used this room to sleep in.

He flashed Yuki a grin as she passed by him and entered the room first. Knowing that she was never into the whole "ladies first" ideal, Nagi wouldn't be surprised to get a "how dare you" look in exchange. Following her inside, he paused for a moment, finally exhaling the breath he'd been holding in. With both feet now inside the door, he reached behind him and closed the sliding door with a snap, separating them from the outside world.

Hirimi had gotten horribly lost trying to find the 5th Squad barracks, though it was expected. Hirimi didn't have any sense of direction(rather depressing...), so it had taken much longer then normal to get to the barracks. When she did she was completely relieved, and completely out of breath. She had already figured out which room was Ryan's so she just watched out for the room. When she reached it she stared at the door for a moment, then knocked, hoping he was there.

Hirimi gave him a warm smile when he greeted her. When he told her to come in, she did what she was told, glancing around the room, before glancing back at him. "How are you feeling?" She was refering to his injuries, since he had just left the healing rooms.

Hirimi smiled when he said he was feeling better. "That's good to hear." When he motioned for her to sit down, then reinforced it with his words, she nodded. She walked over and sat down on the bed and glanced at him. "What was it you needed to talk about?"

Hirimi listened to what he said about the fair. "From how you've explained it, it sounded like a lot of fun..." When he mentioned the Great depression she thought for a moment, she did recognize it... a little, but didn't know how. She finally shook her head. "It sounds familiar but I don't know what it was...."

Hirimi didn't say anything while he spoke, just listening and thinking about what he said. She couldn't help but have the feeling of sorrow for him, but sort of jealous he could atleast remember his life while he was living. Ever since Hirimi had arrived at Soul Society she hadn't run into anyone who knew who she was when she was alive. When he finished, she remained silent for a moment, wondering why he trusted her in telling her this. After several moments, she responded. "I'm sorry... It must be hard for you to talk about it.... especially to a stranger like me."
