[superordinary]

Who: The Dangans who happen to be in the area
Where: Goldenrod City
When: October 6th
Summary: Naegi finds out they have a house. Also it's Kirigiri's birthday. General house/birthday shenanigans happen.
Rating: Mondo's mouth is a thing so PG-13?
Log:


[ Needless to say, Naegi didn't expect any of this; who would expect finding a key and a note that indicated that an entire house had been left to Asahina - who wasn't with them anymore. Still, a house is a house and winter is drawing closer with each passing day and it would be nice to stay somewhere that isn't an inn or hotel room. Naegi's not going to look this gift Ponyta in the mouth.

Kirigiri and Naegi are the first to go there, to make sure it isn't some sort of trick or scam before informing the others. It looks nice despite the busted window on the first floor and the...door seems to have been left wide open.

Better start investigating, then. ]

[ Some time later, Naegi's encountered at least twenty-four Eeveelutions, a ton of food and pillows scattered all over the floor and he's concluded that no, it's not a trap. It just hasn't been taken care of and has been ruled by the Eevee Kingdom for some time. So he sends out the following text to the others: ]

Guys, I have good news! Come to the following address when you can, all right? It's the house next to the breeding center so it should be easy to find.

[ Pretend the address is included. :| Shortly afterwards, a second text message is sent out: ]

By the way, it's Kirigiri-san's birthday today.

[ ...Naegi has no idea why he knows this. He's pretty sure she hasn't mentioned it. At any rate, by the time the others get there there will pizza, cake and party hats but not much else because there's only so much you can do when you just remembered her birthday. Here's hoping the Eevees won't eat everything the second you turn around.

Also, floor plans for future reference. ]

...

[This fucking guy.]

You spoke to Naegi-kun.

[Since when does Togami-kun do random acts of charity, after all.]

[shslasshat]

That would imply a reciprocal effort.

[He grits his teeth a little.]

...He contacted me.

[freshprints]

[You'd think she would let him off the hook out of consideration for the fact that he's obviously making at least a token attempt at trying to be a decent person, but you'd be wrong, because this is Kirigiri.]

And told you.

[shslasshat]

[That's rude as hell, Kirigiri, just cut a guy some slack and take the goddamn book already.]

What brilliant deductive reasoning on your part. Yes, he told me. Do you need to see the evidence?

[freshprints]

[It occurs to her, round about this point, that if she takes the gift and opens it (loath as she is to do so), it will by necessity involve ripping the offending paper to utter shreds and casting it away so as to never see it again, and the more she thinks about it, the more that's not sounding like such a bad idea.

So yes, she does in fact take the damn book already, and proceeds to do exactly that.]

[shslasshat]

[Ta-da! It's a book.

The Complete Adventures of Nuzleaf Holmes, specifically.

And Togami's going to just cross his arms and look away and pretend like he's not sneaking glances at her for a reaction.]

[freshprints]

[Well, it's much better without the paper on it.]

...

[And no, seriously, there is so much YOU TRIED here that she almost...kind of...well.]

...Thank you.

[shslasshat]

[He feels like he got caught mid-glance, and whether that was true or not it steeled his resolution to keep his aloof expression.]

Don't mention it.

[He clears his throat.]

...To anyone.

[Can't have people thinking the Heir has gone soft, after all.]

[freshprints]

People won't assume it appeared out of nowhere.

[Just because she knows what she's getting at doesn't mean she's above hassling him about it, clearly.]

[shslasshat]

People can assume what they like. It's none of their business.

[this is what you get for being nice to people apparently.]

[freshprints]

Mm.

[Right, then, moving on.]

We should continue investigating the house. I haven't had the chance to look into the attic or the basement yet.

[shslasshat]

I'll conduct my own investigation, then.

[read: find the study and then promptly spend all day reading.

He turns to go a different direction than she does, but pauses.]

Bon anniversaire, Kirigiri.

[And then he's gone, a few curious Eevees and his ever-present Sableye loyally at his heels.]
