Welcome to Gaia! ::

Malik nodded, "I guess we'll have to wait and see I guess," He smirked, taking a bite of noddles, "Although... it might be awkward with both of you here. Considering... our past together. But - we'll see." He looked down at his noodles, he was almost done, and growing impatient. ((yea, he probably wouldn't really be done, but w/e)) "You almost ready Jounouchi?"

((I know, I figured it'd turn out that way. Anyway, I think I've got an idea. Jounouchi is gonna call Mai now that he has the number right? So they might wanna hang out... Malik is going to be envious.. and then I'm figuring Rishid can come there. He'll use Rishid to get Jounouchi jealous in return. Not sure if it'll work, but he's gonna try it anyway. Then he'll realize that maybe he likes Jounouchi more than he thought. I also want Otogi and Malik to have a talk... just cause it'd be interesting and random - planned that out already in my head. So... I feel bad about planning ahead, but since you don't mind I feel a bit better. =3

Um... I don't know if I could play Mai when it comes to it... I think I could pull off Rishid... but... *sweatdrop* ))

"Otou-san....?" He repeated, still in slight shock, his eyes seemed downcast and distant, much different than his usual smug expression,"W-why are you calling me? How is everything..."

((Otou san? Okay, I know if you use Oto, you have to put the thingy over the last O, but I don't know how to do that on the keyboard... gah, I wanna learn Japanese! But I'm so bad at languages... *sigh*

Haha, but Jounouchi seems more homophobic than Tamaki! ^^; I love how Neko-chan is really just a pretty blond boy underneath his dark appearance.... <3))

"Ready to go the store...." Malik repeated with a chuckle, "Sorry, my thought process is jumping around a lot. So.. sometimes I lose focus on my point. But... do you think you're nearly done with your food?"

((Mhm... yea, I'd prefer to play Rishid then. I dunno, it seems like it's easier to play a character if you also have control over their family - seeing as that is part of what develops them. Thinking about it, if Shizuka ever came in I'd want you to play her for the same reasons.... but, then I still feel like a character hog! O_o; ))

"Okay..." He paused, giving a worried sigh,

" Look I have to go. I'll do it, alright." Another pause. "Bye." Then he hung up and shoved the phone bitterly in his pocket, avoiding Honda's glance.

((Tou-san? Ah, okay. I'll go edit eventually. But... I don't think it'd be easy at all. The only reason I know a few things is from anime... I'm not smart enough to teach myself like you can! O_o *envious* I really, really wanna go to Japan... so I want to learn some before I go... -.-; ))

Malik took a last sip of his noodles, "Alright." He stood up. "I'm done too. I just want to brush my hair and grab my wallet. I probably look horrible..." He sighed, touching the gauze on his face lightly. "The garbage can is in the kitchen, I'll be right back..." He said as he began to walk towards the bathroom.

((Okay, good, good. This makes Akila happy. I must say, we're pretty compatible roleplayists aren't we? =3 No fighting over characters and what not. <3 ))

Otogi glared bitterly at Honda, "What the hell are you staring at...? Let's go. I need to pick up something at the store."

((Oh, well - Japanese is supposed to be harder to learn than German... at least for English speakers. I ought to take a class though... you're right. ^^ I'll look into it when I sign up for classes in August.))

Malik walked passed the broken mirror in the hallway to get to his bathroom. The glass had been picked up, but the empty wooden frame was still there, standing hauntingly in the shadowy corner. He stared at it for a moment with weary eyes before entering his bathroom. "Ah... I'm a disaster." Malik noted, his appearance in the mirror not as pleasurable as usual, he picked up his comb and brushed through the mess of creme colored hair. It still didn't look much better... He sighed and put down the brush. He'd just have to take a shower later. The gauze pad taped on his cheek was dark red with the blood it had soaked up, and he quickly removed the moist cloth. The gash on his cheek was deep indeed, and since a scab hadn't yet formed he replaced the pad with a band-aid, reapplied his eye make up and decided he couldn't fix himself up anymore before heading back out to the living room. He grabbed the ramen cup he had left out before, tossed it out, and walked up to Jounouchi, "I look a bit better now, right?"

((*nod* Agreed. <3 ))

Otogi just stuffed his hands in his pocket, " The grocery store isn't too far of a walk from here. I need to restock some supplies for my shop... and grab a few other things."

((Even if it doesn't - I can always take classes elsewhere. I'm not too worried. =3 ))

Malik grabbed his black chain wallet from the counter top in the kitchen before following Jounouchi out the door, mildly satisfied with his answer regarding his appearance. He pulled his charcoal boots on, and then opened the door for Jounouchi, "I hope you don't mind me using up your time again..."

((Time skip for them Otogi/Honda then.. ? Figuring that it's fine...))

"Alright. I might need your help carrying back grocery's anyway." Malik said, leaning against the wood panel of the doorway casually, "I'm well past over due. I eat out a lot, so I never realized it till you came over."

((Um, to the store...? ^^;

Yes... because they are all going to the same one... that was my evil plan. Mwuhaha.

Okay... Akila is going to stop being lame now. -.- ))

((Yea! Good idea... I was wondering how to do that... but your idea works! ^^))

"Let's hope nothing bad happens..." Malik noted under his breath, more to himself then to Jounouchi, as he shut the door behind them.

((To the storeee!!!

Out of all the places to go... I picked somewhere boring... just because it seemed practical... -.- ...still.))

((.... Jounouchi saying that just jinxed it, right? -.-;; ))

Malik scratched his chin and forced a smile , "Just don't speak too soon... okay...?"

((Yup, that's a good idea too!! ^^))
