Of course I mean me, idiot. Cause, you know, the door.

[ brain where ]

Well, I gotta take all of my electronics with me. I guess I can leave most of my clothes... but at least an underwear change, or something.

[ he travels some for work, so he knows more or less what's necessary? but, well. if he forgets something, he can always just come right back... but at least the subject has successfully be changed, and he can finally look up from between his elbows, face still a little flushed. ]

And, uh. Don't forget the toothbrush?

[coasts]

[ He's a big idiot ok... pls forgive :( ]

What the hell're you bringin'? I ain't gonna help you set shit up.

[ Itaru, do you wanna get banged while playing on your Switch or smth? ]

. . . You guys gonna use my shampoo?

[grylls]

[ Anything Riou forgets he figures he can just walk next door for... he'll keep his valuables with him, but that mostly just means his dog tags, his dogs, his hypnosis microphone, and the important gifts he got for Christmas from his crew. :|b ]

I'll help you set it up.

[ At least the computer because apparently Riou knows Things. ]

Unless you want us to smell like you. I've heard some Sanguis like scent-marking.

[ He never asked Samatoki if he was and it wasn't one of Riou's things when he was Sanguis, but he'd rather not get peed on so he'll suggest the shampoo. Riou's got a big ole bottle of 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner they can bring. ]

[ssrs]

I'm not letting you touch anything of mine, anyway. You'd probably break it.

[ smh... samatoki's not allowed anywhere near the electronics. and yes, getting banged while playing games sounds fine? maximum productivity...

anyway, riou's more than welcome to help, because he'll definitely have trouble hauling everything with him alone (especially the pc.) ]

Huh? [ ??? he's not using neither samatoki's nor riou's 2-in-1 shampoo???? what kind of savages... his hair needs to be fluffy and perfect at all times, and he's learned how to take care of it, so he's not about to drop doing that now. just because he's somewhere else doesn't mean he doesn't have to look good... it gets him out of trouble? ] Why is that even a question?

[ isn't scent-marking done... differently??? ]

[coasts]

Oi, the shampoo I use is special! I ain't lettin' you guys use it. It's expensive.

[ Maybe blow him to use it once. Look. He hasn't thought about what's gonna happen yet, but he's doing his best to control his urges. He's also doing his best to preserve what's left of his shampoo because it's not cheap! Samatoki may not look like he combs his hair, but those white locks of his are soft! There's a reason why his hair curls up that way and isn't some kind of afro. Thank you, Ten Voss.

... Now he's getting antsy. He gets up and starts walking around because he's got nothing to do. He doesn't even want to address scent-marking right now. That's embarrassing??? ]

where the fuck did my notif for this even go

[grylls]

[ Riou's costs like $6 for a giant bottle ok, his hair gets clean what more do you want other than for him to not use a bar of soap to do it?? Y'all over here with your fancy smelling stuff. Riou smells like the forest and man stuff and his hair is short enough that it doesn't really matter if it's a little damaged because he gets it cut every two weeks. ]

Why is it expensive?

[ssrs]

[ i just hate riou uses these 8-in-1 things so much itaru probably had a mini breakdown when he saw them in the bathroom --

anyway, he snorts at samatoki's concerns. aren't there better things he has to worry about right now? ]

That just makes me wanna use it, you know, Sama-chan. [ he hums, glancing towards samatoki. maybe their shampoos aren't that different... so he could steal some... after all, what's samatoki gonna do? stab him? ]

[coasts]

'cause it's good and it makes my hair smell nice!

[ That explains nothing??? He likes the smell, okay. It's minty and there's some sort of ingredient in it that adds the extra fluff to Samatoki's everyday 'do. ]

If I ever smell my shampoo on your hair, I'm gonna kill you, Itaru!

[ NO >:( ]

[grylls]

[ This answers nothing and it makes Riou think he's right about his 100-in-1 shampoo+conditioner. ]

Can I smell it?

[ Maybe he will understand then..??? Riou moves in closer to Samatoki. ]

[ssrs]

[ i am once again asking
what the fuck ]

Sure you will.

[ he's so used to samatoki threatening his life by now that this doesn't even phase him. not that he'd care even if he was serious; his existence is by all means miserable and should be ended. samatoki's just a coward?

he glances to riou, then back to samatoki, getting a stupid idea suddenly... and instead of putting on pants and packing like a normal person, he circles around to approach samatoki from the other side, lips curving in a thin smile. ]

Yeah, let us smell it. We have to know which one's yours, and all.

[coasts]

What, on me?

[ The two are getting closer to him. His ears perk up atop his head, twitching a couple of times, too. His tail goes up, but doesn't start wagging. ]

Sure, I guess.

[grylls]

[ Itaru is a problem child who makes Riou believe his strange behavior is valid and teaches him other weirder things, but since Samatoki is okay with it and Itaru is doing it too, this is fine. Riou glances at Itaru as he approaches, then he bends down just a bit to reach the top of Samatoki's head. Samatoki's not that much shorter than him, but it's still enough that he has to lean.

Sniff sniff. ]

[ssrs]

[ he not only validates riou's strange behavior, but also encourages him and follows suit... maybe he's not a good roommate for someone eccentric, but you know what, too late for regrets. it's too late for regrets about sniffing samatoki, too -- riou's already leaning in to get a whiff... of his hair... and itaru's standing on the other side, a little amused and a little curious.

well, whatever.

he grabs onto samatoki's shoulder and tips his head up to press his nose against the soft, white locks on the side of the other's head. ]

Hmm... [ and he lingers there, even after a moment. ] Smells like mint and horniness.

[coasts]

[ Smells like mint and IVORY. Excuse you!!

His wolf ears twitch when he feels the presence of the two men invading his personal space. He does his best to stay still, but Itaru's comment gets him to start yelling again. ]

As if you smell any better! Riou, tell 'im!

[ Tell Itaru that he smells horny too, ig??? ]

[grylls]

[ It's hardly an invasion when they asked and were given permission first, Samatoki...

Either way, Samatoki told him to do a thing so he's going to do a thing. ]

You don't smell any better, Itaru.

[ He's going to lick the side of Samatoki's forehead now as thanks for letting him smell. He's showing affection. You can thank Itaru for this one. ]

[ssrs]

Hey, I just woke up, alright? It's not my fault.

[ because SOMEONE decided to break their whole door down. jerk.

what happens next is enough to get him to forget all about the accusation, though; now, he knows he told riou this is socially acceptable, but... holy shit? that said, if he laughs now, he'll just ruin it, so... it takes all of his Acting Prowess to keep his composure, as he leans forward and licks samatoki's cheek.

just briefly. ]

Thanks, Sama-chan.

[coasts]

[ Wait. Wait. Wait. HOLD UP. Samatoki's eyes widen, and he looks at Riou, neck craning ever so slow like an owl does. ]

... What the fuck. [ He's not even sure if he should get mad. This is just... concerning???? ] Are you okay?

[ THIS IS SO DIFFICULT TO PROCESS ]

[grylls]

I'm good. [ Samatoki seems more confused than normal, which confuses Riou. He looks to Itaru, who also just did it, so... ]

Itaru said this is how people show appreciation and affection for each other.

[ Was he wrong? Riou thought it was odd, but he has been outside of civilian life, in military and jungle life, for like ten years probably since he probably signed up for the military as soon as he was old enough that's my hc until otherwise stated! so he's not up on what the kids do nowadays. He's trusted Itaru. ]

[ssrs]

[ samatoki seems confused about riou doing it, but not itaru... maybe he's that kind of a guy? anyway, he watches his face with budding interest, leaning on his shoulder in a relaxed manner. ]

Well, I forgot to mention our worlds might differ. Or rather, I forgot to even consider it, really. [ he peeks over to riou, who looks a little confused.

ugh... he wants to reach over and pet him... ] I guess it might not be customary where you come from, but it is where I come from.

[coasts]

[ He gives Itaru a look, and the man promptly explains himself, and the look is still there. Samatoki is so weirded out right now, what the hell... ]

You guys some kinda dog-humans or somethin'? That sounds weird as hell to me.

[ But at least he's accepting of Itaru's reason for it. ]

[grylls]

[ Hm.. Riou did something weird then.. he looks down a little bit, like he's considering his actions. Maybe he should just ask Samatoki before he does anything. He doesn't want to overstep. ]

It was my mistake. Cultural differences are a challenge.

[ssrs]

[ riou looks so sad... meanwhile itaru's just kind of amused samatoki takes his explanation as a face value. he lets go of the other's shoulder and steps back, shrugging. ]

Don't worry, Riou-san; Sama-chan doesn't mind, right?

[ anyway are they gonna just stand here forever like this... if someone passed by the broken door, they sure heard some weird stuff. ]

[coasts]

[ SAMA-CHAN DOESN'T MIND, out him, why don't you. He's going to wring Itaru's neck some day!! ]

Whatever. Just don't grab my tail.

[ ... That makes him horny, ok!!! ]

You need me to help bring anything to my place or what?

[grylls]

[ Riou averts his eyes when Samatoki says not to grab his tail. He always wants to grab his tail... ]

I can carry my things. Let's go pack, Itaru.

[ Riou's just going to grab a change of clothes and his dogs' stuff and his sleeping bag and hygiene stuff. ]

[ssrs]

[ since samatoki doesn't want his tail grabbed, itaru wants to grab his tail as of right now.

thankfully for him, though, he's already gone to pack his stuff; he's not taking many clothes or a lot of personal items, but he is taking all of his electronics. it's necessary, ok. ]

Riou-san can take my stuff. You'd probably break my gaming shit, Sama-chan. [ judging by the door...

he wonders if he should take his PC. a laptop should be enough just for a little while... he doesn't like gaming on it that much, but in desperate times, it's what's most comfortable. so he grabs his laptop bag and shoves it in, alongside the charger, grabbing a hold of a separate bag for his handheld, vr set and all remaining chargers. listen. ]
