[action/anon text] - Struggles - 020 [Backdated to afternoon of 4/2]

Gnomeday, Gnome Redecan 02, ND 2018

[The first thing Guy noticed upon waking up was how unbelievably sore he was.

The second? The barrier on Zelda's bed was gone. He could easily tell - he'd sprawled out a bit as he started to wake up, mixed up in the covers and the remains of the uniform he had last remembered wearing. He hummed wearily, giving a confused and clouded glance around the room as he propped himself to his elbows.

Had he fallen into a coma again? Guy grimaces, rubbing a crick in the back of his neck. He'd left Zelda here alone like this again, of all times? Damn it. How long had he been out?

Worrying wasn't going to help matters, though. He heaves himself out of bed, stretching his arms above him, straightening his back, and adjusting his clothes enough so that he could wander the house without being too embarrassed coming across another housemate (if they were awake by now.) He pads across the floor with bare feet, descending the staircase about halfway before finally bother to call out.]


"...Zelda? Hey, are you around...?"

----

[It's only after he' had a good share of time to talk to Zelda and get his bearings that Guy finally picks up his SFC, opting to keep himself anonymous this time around. There was too much that had happened while he was gone. It would just be nice to get a general sense of the city, if anything else.]

Breaking the ice around strangers is pretty hard, isn't it? I know we all have to do it all the time around here, with everyone coming and going. But it doesn't make it any easier.

Some people take to it easier than others, though. And I'm sure some of you have learned ways to interact with a new person just by being in this crazy place.

So tell me, Vatheon. How would you treat a stranger?
howamanlives: (bingo)

Heh, I think you and I come from different worlds on this thing, man. The kind of things I've seen, that's how I've reached people... and it helped me find my best friend here, to boot.
howamanlives: (serious for a change)

Well... that's how I met my best friend. We both sensed we were fighters from the get go. And after it was done... it was like we'd connected somehow. He said I was the first person to acknowledge him, also... even if it was as an opponent.
howamanlives: (and they call me an idiot)

Well, I never said any stranger. And I don't make a habit of forcing myself on people. I mean, my friend Yoshino called me "belligerent" or something once, but I don't attack people out of the blue.

If I think someone's worthy and they turn down my challenge, I'll ask why, but I won't force them into it.

Probably just say hi and introduce myself, I guess.

Sort of, I guess.

I dunnow, this is the first time I've thought about it this much.
howamanlives: (I don't like this at all)

Never said that. Just... look, I like a good fight, but I'm not just some brute, alright?
howamanlives: (satisfied)

Daimon Masaru, but just plain Masaru is fine.
