[Humans sleep at night, right? It seemed like the best time to try leaving his room, at least, considering from what he'd seen most of the residents here weren't nocturnal, or so he thought.

He's going to open his door slowly, leaning out of his room and examining the hallway outside; all clear from what he could tell, soooo he'll step outside as quickly as he can without making any noise and head downstairs.

Mainly because with everything going on, he was too caught up in his own stuff to remember you could wish for stuff here, namely food, resulting in his hunger finally getting to him.

Then once he finally gets to the kitchen, he's totally raiding everything. If he picks up something he doesn't like, he'll just put it back and keep looking, otherwise he'll finish whatever the hell it was he picked up cause it was more than likely delicious.]

[ooc: because being able to avoid your loss by hanging around in your room is lame, I'm throwing him on out there. Hallways on the way down or the kitchen itself, your choice, but this troll clearly needs to be bothered in the most awkward situation ever]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[He gives the plate a curious glance but doesn't comment. He's not the best person to comment on another's eating skills when he'd be satisfied with a bag of chips and a bowl of popcorn.]

I don't sleep much. And when I do, it's never for long. Hanging out in here beats staring at the ceiling until the sun rises.

What, an' you couldn't pick up a fuckin' hobby or somethin'?

[He'll pick up a bread roll from his plate, take a bite and start speaking while he's chewing.]

Welgth youtsh cug try reedtshing.

[Swallow.]

That's what I do. I got a bit of a fuckin' fascination for shit like military history an' whatever the fuck, so it kills a few hours.

Hey, I have hobbies! It's just some of them can get a little noisy. And it's not like I usually spend all night lurking in here.

[Thoughtful pause.]

I haven't actually checked out the library yet. Maybe I should try that.

Yeah it's one a the actually useful things here.

Earth military stuff is really primitive but I guess that's the whole point a' it bein' history in the first place.

Still interestin' enough to kill a few hours.

Are there books in there about some of the other worlds? I mean, military stuff can be great sometimes, but it isn't a topic that inspires me to read.

Well, there were books on alternian military stuff there so I'm guessin'. It was all shit I'd already read though.

I haven't checked out anythin' else aside that. You'll have to go check yourself.

I guess I'll do that. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm Apollo by the way.

I'm...

[Should he introduce himself as Eridan or Feferi...this is weird when you're hesitant to admit you're on a loss.]

Y'know...will you do me a favor?

[He raises an eyebrow.]

Uh...sure. Name it.

Just...after this conversation, forget we ever met.

[That eyebrow? It raises even higher.]

That's a strange request. Can you tell me why?

'Cause the next time you see me I won't be...me.

In a sense.

It's hard to explain. I don't really wanna tell anyone if possible.

I mean you seem okay but I can't really trust you not to say anythin', all I know is you're a guy who lurks around kitchens in the dead a' night and strikes up conversations with girls who are only six sweeps so.

Edited 2012-01-23 00:12 (UTC)

[He just listens with a slightly amused look on his face.]

Okay. If you don't want to talk about it, I won't push. But, for future reference, I tend to strike up conversations with anyone. You're making it sound weird.

Alright, whatever. I won't then.

But in all fairness it is all I know about you, I dunno who else the fuck you talk to so it's a fair assumption right?

I don't get how it's weird.

Well, you haven't asked me anything about myself. Was I supposed to just spill out my entire life story after I introduced myself?

[Grins.] And to be fair, I know even less about you. You at least know my name.

...

Alright, good point.

I'd tell you my real name if it weren't for the fact someone isn't allowed to know I'm even down here either, just as a precautionary measure.

[OKAY TRYING TO CHANGE THE FOCUS OF THE CONVERSATION NOW....so he'll push that plate of food closer.]

You want some?

[He gives the plate a glance over and picks a few things up to munch on. That changes the focus of the conversation for all five seconds.]

So you're hiding from someone? I don't know why you think telling me your name would be a big deal. You think my life is so boring that I'd announce you where in the kitchen in the middle of the night to the entire castle?

No, it's because...look, it's complicated okay.

[But really he's just paranoid and overthinks everything.]

You wouldn't get it. Or I don't want to explain.

Or both. Whichever works best.

[He holds up his hands.] Alright already, you don't want to talk about it. I get it.

I just don't see why giving out your name would be such an ordeal.

I'm kind've breaking a promise to someone.

But I don't want her to know.

And it's easier this way instead a' givin' you a huge list a names a' people you can never mention havvin' met me at this point to.

Happy now?

[He just stares for a long moment before slowly nodding.]

Fair enough.

Thank you.

[Kind've going quiet now...he'll just distract himself by eating a pear off of that plate.]

Edited 2012-01-23 01:21 (UTC)

[He swipes something else off the plate and eats it.]

So...does this happen with everyone you meet or do you usually just wait until no one is around to go wandering around the castle?

No, not all the time. Usually it doesn't fuckin' matter.

It's just a temporary thing. Apparently.

Apparently? So you don't know?
