Kiryuu Apaato -- Koei Building

	The deeply stained cherrywood floor greets your feet, especially
 if they're bare, as you walk into the main room of Touga and Ayanojou's
 apartment. The room is quite open, the furniture mainly consisting of
 large leather beanbags and short end tables. A short wooden coffee
 table centers the room, panels which open to reveal a gaming board,
 ready to play all sorts of traditional games. The kitchenette is set
 tidy, black plates and cups decorating the walls. A tiny dining table
 splits the kitchenette from the main room, a vase of fresh red roses
 giving a gentle feel to the room. 
	Two fencing swords cross in an X over the small gas fireplace.
 Sitting on the hearth is a small bowl of rose petals, that lilt and
 lift slightly when a breeze is let through. In one corner of the main
 room stands a shrine of come sort, a wallhanging with a pentacle
 standing guard over it. The opposite corner holds the entertainment
 center, which is the latest in Japanese technology. If one should look
 through the CD tower, they'd find musicians like X Japan, Yohko Kano,
 and Andy Won (for make-out music).

Obvious exits:
Ayanojou no Heya   Touga no Heya   Hallway 

Touga smiles as Rosuto walks in. 

Ayanojou waves to Rosuto. "Konban wa, Hensou-san!"

Touga asks "How nice to see you again. Please, take a seat, would you
 care for some tea?"
Touga stands up, his hair falling perfectly back into place, and picks
 up his own empty glass of tea.

Rosuto taps lightly on the door at the same time he looks in, blinking.
 "Konban wa, minna..." At the invitation, he steps in quietly, closing
 the door behind him.

Touga heads for the kitchen to fetch more tea.

Rosuto discards his shoes near the door as he steps further inside. His
 hands are knotted together in front of him. "Anou... I don't mean to
 drop in so late..."

Ayanojou says "Daijoubu. I'm a night owl, by nature."

Keisuke looks up and waves casually.. "Hello, there.." He grins to
 Rosuto.

Touga waves his hand dismissively. "Not a problem. I just awoke myself,
 I've had a lot on my mind."

Rosuto's brow wrinkles slightly with a nod to the two faces he knows,
 then wrinkles further as a new face draws his notice. He blinks at
 Keisuke, and says instead of greeting, "Gomen. You have company...?"

Touga says "It's ok, he's another aquaintance, I have a strange way of
 accumulating them."

Ayanojou asks "It's quite alright. Please join us, Hensou-san?"

[Keisuke]
Yuuki Keisuke is a tall young college man, with untamed blonde hair that
 somehow is managed only by the knowledge that there are many women in
 the world, and some of them will loan you bus fare if you're cute
 enough. He wears average if somewhat trendy clothing in typical 
 shojo-anime fasion, a pullover sweater over what was once a useful
 collared earthone shirt, until Miaka got the back of it with an iron..
 But hey, sweaters are back in, right? His slacks are comfortable tan
 pants which fit well, dropping over black socks and a pair of loafers.
 The overall effect makes him look more respectable then he normally
 would, but the best clothing to travel in is stuff you don't like, so
 if it gets dirty you can give it to another college buddy as an excuse.
 Overall, Keisuke is somewhat well muscled, although not comprable to a
 seishi. Something in his eyes is freindly and warm, although he looks
 rather indifferent, expression-wise..
Carrying:
cellphone

Rosuto steps further inside with another nod, shedding his jacket and
 folding it over his arm. "Thanks. I..." He frowns briefly, as if
 struggling with something. "I ... wanted to ... apologize ... for
 running out on you two the other night..."

Keisuke pretends he isn't there, sipping at his cola. Don't miiiiiiind
 meeee..

Ayanojou asks "Oh, it's nothing. You're alright, yes?"

Keisuke blinks at his phone.. "Ah, excuse me a moment.." He steps back.
Keisuke answers the call to the Cellular.

Touga says "I'm sorry if I distressed you with my questions. Here have a
 cup of tea."
Touga hands Rosuto a cup of cold Rose Petal before returning to his seat
 with piping hot cup for himself.

Rosuto finds it safe just to nod as he finds a seat, watching Keisuke
 for a moment before looking up. He blinks: "Oh. Arigatou."

(Directed into the phone) Keisuke says "Aah, Musei-san? Is that you?"
(Directed into the phone) Keisuke says "Iie, she isn't.. It's good to
 hear, though. I'm guessing she's at home, myself."

Rosuto looks down at the cup's contents, quirking a half-smile. . o O 
 ( The same kind. Heh. ) Sipping it delicately, his gaze shifts upwards
 again, looking at the others over the cup's brim.

(Directed into the phone) Keisuke says "Sugoi na! You didn't have to..
 Well, you know my little sister.. Ah, always off getting into trouble.
 I'm sure she'll show up soon."
Keisuke glances at the people in the room, feeling bad for being on the
 phone in company..
(Directed into the phone) Keisuke says "Hai, matta ne!"

Keisuke hangs up and disconnects the call.
Keisuke pockets the phone, sweatbeading.. "I get a cellphone and the
 only people who call call for my sister c.c; Sorry about that."

Ayanojou chuckles. "She's pretty popular, I take it?"

Keisuke grins.. "Yeah, that's one way of putting it. Miaka's really
 something else."
Keisuke glances at Rosuto again, curiously.

Ayanojou says "Maybe that's why she eats so much. To keep up with all
 those people. ^_~"

Keisuke chuckles, sitting down..

Rosuto blinks, lowering his cup. . o O ( ..... ) His brow furrows
 lightly, then he blinks again, catching Keisuke looking at him. He
 quirks a brow in the other's direction, smiling crookedly.

Ayanojou glances back and forth between the two. . o O ( ...? )

Keisuke just grins in return, finishing off his soda. Keisuke isn't the
 most perceptive in the world. In fact, he's rather clueless.

Ayanojou pouts slightly, deciding to sip his soda. . o O ( Mph...)

Rosuto lets the smile fade again. He asks softly, curiously, "....
 Sister? How old is she?"

Touga smiles and sits back to watch, sipping his tea and crossing his
 legs as if settling down for an interesting TV program.

Keisuke asks "Miaka? Oh, she's seventeen.. n.n"
Keisuke does have a vauge resemblance to the Yuuki line, if it makes a
 difference.

Rosuto nods as if he expected that, lapsing into silence again as he
 stirs his tea.

Ayanojou asks "How are rehearsals, Hensou-san?"

Keisuke crumples his empty can. In this quiet a room, it sounds noisy
 n.n

Ayanojou sweatbeads and asks "Ah.. want to play some music? ^_^;"

Rosuto answers briefly, "Long," and shadows it with a faint smile.

Keisuke asks "You're an actor, ne? n.n That must be really amazing.."

Ayanojou chuckles with mirth. "I hope it pays well enough, for you to
 endure it."

Touga smiles.

"Pays the bills," Rosuto quips with uncharacteristic lightness, then
 tilts his head slightly in Keisuke's direcetion. Brown-gold eyes
 flicker with amusement. "It has its good points," he allows.

Keisuke chuckles, grinning impishly. "Better then having your head in
 books all the time like I do, I'm sure."

Touga laughs slightly.

Ayanojou smiles, and stands, taking Keisuke's crushed can (or offering
 to, at least), and his empty one, to toss in the trashcan.

Keisuke hands it over, grinning.

Rosuto says "Well, I do attend classes, but.." He frowns briefly, then
 smirks. "My priorities are different than most, I suppose."

Ayanojou gives a bright smile to Keisuke before entering the kitchen,
 and tossing the cans into the trash.

Keisuke asks "Nn, how so? n.n"

Ayanojou asks "Which school do you attend, if I may ask?"

Rosuto shrugs as he sips his tea. "I act. My future is there. I attend
 classes only because Nobuyuki-san tells me too." He pauses after that,
 smiling disarmingly in Ayanojou's direction. "Oh, by all means, ask."

Ayanojou laughs openly. "Sou... which school do you attend, Hensou-san?"
 n.n

Keisuke chuckles lightly, folding his arms behind his head.

Rosuto rattles off the name of a smallish university (while his player
 makes an OOC note to remember the name O.o), his tone quiet and
 puncuated with an indifferent shrug.

Touga asks "I hate to ask you, but, do you know Aboratsubo-san's cousin,
 Rosuto-sempai?"

Keisuke says "I go to Seinan Gakkun, myself. n.n"

Ayanojou pikus. . o O ( Does he now? )

Rosuto's gaze shifts to Touga, brows furrowing. "I don't think so. Who
 is she?"

[Keisuke had to disconnect at this point.  It was late and, unlike the
 rest of us, he had sense enough to go to bed. ^_^;]

Touga asks "Her name is Ayame, Aboratsubo-san thinks you and her might
 be entangled with someone named Stefan. Name mean anything to you?"
Touga drinks from his cup of tea again, smiling all the way.

Rosuto blinks once. And drops his cup.

Ayanojou puts a hand to his forehead. . o O ( Well, that was as subtle
 as a brick... building. )

Touga smiles inwardly. . o O (Gotcha)

Rosuto looks down blankly at his cup as it rolls off his lap on to the
 floor. Mechanically, he reaches down to pick it up, grateful that it
 had been mostly empty before he dropped it. "Aa.. Gomen."

Touga asks "Something wrong Rosuto-sempai?"

"Hai," comes the soft-spoken reply, but not in answer to the question.
 "Karaino-san? I met her..."

Touga asks "When did you meet her?"
Touga leans in, his hands forming a steeple in front of of his face, his
 elbows resting on his knees, he begins to resemble a bird of prey
 examining it's next meal.

"A few nights ago. Shiba Park." Rosuto's voice is quiet, careful. As if
 every word spoken is long thought out before voiced. "I was...
 praciticing and caught her notice."

Touga says "I see, you seem to catch the notice of many people, it's
 those interesting eyes of yours I'd wager."

Ayanojou fluffs his bangs idly. Best to sit back and stay quiet, when
 Touga-san is like this.

Rosuto's gaze shifts upwards, studying Touga's face coldly. "Again with
 the eyes," he comments softly, wryly. "I think it was more that I was
 yelling at a duck than any ... facial feature of mine."

Touga looks a little taken off guard. "Yelling at a duck? Whatever for?"

Rosuto smirks: "Like I said, Kiryuu-san, I was ... practicing."

Touga asks "I see. Anything else?"

Rosuto's head tilts to one side, brown-gold eyes narrowing in their
 regard of Touga, watching him with a blend of uncertainty and wariness.
 "Should there be?"

Ayanojou asks "What did you think of Aya-chan?"

Touga says "You never answered if the name Stefan means anything to
 you."

Rosuto looks back and forth between the two, his expression twisting
 into a scowl. "What is this? How should I know? I only met them once!"
 _Twice_, a voice reminds him, but he hushes it quietly. Don't let them
 know that.

Ayanojou pikupikus and looks to Touga. . o O ( Hmm... Think I'm right? )

Touga smiles and looks over at Aboratsubo, overemphasizing a few words
 in his next statement. "Yo, Aboratsubo-san, I could use some music,
 could you go in my room and fetch my SHIn TENCHI muyo cd, I'd like to
 SHO it to him and while you're up add some SOI sauce to the grocery
 list."
Touga looks to his left to see a reaction.

Ayanojou o.o; . o O ( He's building a whole new subset of 
 architecture... ) He nods and gets up, glancing between the two men.

Rosuto is glaring at the cup in his hands, his brows set in what might
 be concentration, thin beads of sweat appearing. The cup shakes
 slightly, as if to break, but doesn't. Yet.

Touga asks "So, feel like telling me a bit more? I'm not totally
 ignorant you see."

Rosuto says softly, ever so softly, "You just want me to kill you, don't
 you?"

Ayanojou walks back, hearing that statement. ... o O ( Eh? )

Touga looks shocked, not expecting that reaction. "Um, not really."

Rosuto sets his cup down on the table, then leans back in his seat,
 brown-golden eyes drifting almost lazily in Touga's direction. Resting
 his temple in the palm of one hand, he queries, "No? You're certainly
 acting like it."

Touga fails to notice his roomie reenter. "I just want a little
 information on what's happening with you and Aboratsubo's cousin. He's
 worried about her and so am I. We did a little digging and came up with
 some astounding and fairly unbelievable information. I'm just trying to
 confirm some of it. And if I die, then so be it. I have lived my life
 and have only one real regret but I could never rest easy knowing I had
 not tried to help my good friend Aboratsubo when he needed me.

Ayanojou pikus.. "..?"

Rosuto studies Touga for long moments, then lets his gaze drift away
 again, his head turning so that he looks at a wall. "I can't help you
 there. I barely remember anything myself."

Ayanojou . o O ( So he is a seishi, as well, then... )

Touga says "I see. I will tell no one of what we talk about, and I swear
 that on the one thing I hold dear above all else. I truly do wish to be
 your friend, you seem to be someone who needs them. I give you an open
 invitation to return to my home anytime you wish and if you return
 intent on killing me, so be it. If that is my fate than I cannot change
 it."

Ayanojou sweatbeads and asks "You have a death wish, Touga-san? o.o;"

Touga turns, not knowing that his roomie was here. "Gomen, I did not
 mean for you to hear that." He blushes deeply, embarassed to have been
 caught.

Rosuto nods without reply, looking up as Ayanojou finally speaks again.
 His gaze shifts between the two, and after a moment, says, "Curious.
 ....You said you found information?"

Ayanojou goes "Daijoubu... I appreciate it, Touga-san."

Touga says "Yes, I cannot say from where for I do not wish to endanger
 anyone but myself. Still, I cannot ignore what I know and I cannot just
 sit and brood over it either, I have been and always will be a man of
 action and puzzling over things has got me nowhere."

Rosuto snorts and rises to his feet, dusting himself clean of imaginary
 lint. "Then I think I have taken enough of your time."

Ayanojou raises his brows. "Sorry to have bothered you, Hensou-san."

Touga says "I hope to see you again and rest assured none of what I have
 heard will leave this room."

Rosuto nods as he heads towards the door, footsteps silent, but pauses
 as he starts to slip back into his shoes. He glances back. "You
 mentioned a Stefan.... Stefan Krieg?"

Touga says "I do not know his last name but I assume that would be the
 one."

Ayanojou says "Aya-chan's boyfriend. Hai,"

"Then he is..." Rosuto cuts that short before he can finish it. A glance
 towards Ayanojou reveals a grimace of distaste, then he looks away,
 opening the door. . o O ( Leaving again on a sour note. Why am I not
 surprised? ) "... Good night, Kiryuu-san. Aboratsubo-san."

Touga says "Oyasumi nasai"

Ayanojou blinks. . o O ( Hmm? ) He stares after the seishi as the man
 leaves.
Ayanojou goes "Good night..."

You step out of the apartment.
