IGNORENCE IS NOT ALWAYS BLISS;

[When they finally took down Maruki's Actualizations, he just expected to fade away into nothingness. A chance at life again due to more manipulation... Some would have taken the bait. Some would have happily accepted the fake reality as truth to turn away from the flaws that the real world had to offer.

Not Akechi.

He was through with people manipulating his life, even if Maruki genuinely meant the best out of it. He would happily accept death over becoming yet another person's puppet; for better or for worse. And yet he still found himself in a situation. This slab was uncomfortable and there was a robot waiting for him to really take it all in. It's not like Akechi could say what death was like, but this was sure as hell not it. Not even hiding his discontent, he spared no feelings when he declined their plea for his help.

Not that it really mattered. It's not like they were taking no for an answer. Was the Metaverse still around? Did they fail to deal with Maruki after all? No... Even Maruki wouldn't think of something this stupid. Now he was left all alone to find a place to stay. Some may say they were lucky to have free housing, but even if that was true, it didn't mean he had to be happy about it. He may as well figure out what the hell to do now while looking at his options.

Feel free to see him out and about, obviously new to this place by the way he's acting. He might even accidentally bump into you. If he does, he'll just turn to you and raise a gloved hand and a fake sympathetic smile.]

Sorry about that. I hope you're okay.

[He's far from happy or pleasant, but it doesn't stop him from slipping into his "pleasant boy" routine; no matter how tired he is right now.]

HOW'S IT HANGING?;

[It wasn't enough for the universe to send him to a place like this it seemed. No. The natives believed in "the buddy system". That may have been comforting for some new arrivals. It made sense considering how this place ran. As if this place couldn't get even worse for him, they've pulled in some sad sap to "be his buddy". Being shoved into them was awfully rude as well as unprofessional, but he doubts that these robots care about that. As much as he wanted to decline this as well, getting better information about this place was in his best interest.]

This sort of thing happen regularly...?

[Why is this person so close to him still? Just move away and give him some-- Wait. He can't move away. Were they stuck?! What the hell was wrong with this place.]

Any ideas?

[OOC: It's up to you as to how you want them to be stuck. I'm cool with whatever.]

WILDCARD;
[If you have any other prompt ideas, I'm up for whatever! Feel free to poke me on plurk (

Byefelicia) if you'd like to discuss ideas or just add me.]

[...this has gone so far off the deep end, Sougo isn't even sure where it all began, and now he can't stop blushing.]

O-of course I know what happens. I... It's just not at the forefront of my thoughts! I don't even think about relationships!

[.....]

...usually...

Then you're clearly in the wrong place for that.

[Not like they can do anything about that. Sorry, Sougo. He's trying not to laugh, but he might have a snicker here and there.]

Maybe you should start thinking about it.

[Sex or relationships? He means relationships, but he's not exactly clear about that and has no intentions of clarifying that.]

[Hhhhhh... Sougo very abruptly crouches down and holds his face in his hands, staring at the ground.]

It's really... difficult to break the habit, h-hahaha...

[He forces himself to take a couple of deep breaths before he stands back up, still looking rather flustered, but perhaps a bit more in control of it.]

W-well, as far as general, uh... platonic affection or any questions you might have, I'd be happy to help you in any way I can, Akechi-san.

[Still polite despite everything, oof.]

[Akechi counts this as a success. He'll stop now.]

Well, I can't say I really care for the affection stuff, but I'll have to manage. I appreciate your assistance nonetheless. I could use any other information that you find would be beneficial to know about this place.

[ohthankgod, Sougo could not have handled much more of that. Sougo allows himself another deep breath before putting on his best smile.]

I understand how you feel. I'm just lucky my partner is here and has always been very affectionate in general, so it feels fairly normal.

[Though trying to think of more information, hmmm.]

Oh! I should warn you about the food. It's mostly very bland, but some of us have some basic meals and ingredients available to work with, so the food is getting generally better.

[That sounded useful. Maybe he could manipulate people for Dora...? It's not like he particularly cared about anyone but himself.]

Aside from it being bland, what's wrong with it otherwise?

It's mostly the blandness. It makes it a bit difficult to want to eat sometimes. Ah, but also I think the robots don't really remember what food is supposed to taste like? So sometimes the flavors are... not what you'd expect.

[Sougo remembers the banquet where the robots had tried SO HARD to make good food and it all just tasted really weird...]

Not that I'm surprised. I suppose we'll just have to make due. They at least have ingredients to cook, right?

Oh yes! There are plenty of ingredients, mostly because several of the residents have taken up gardening. Otherwise we'd be working with exclusively synthesized food.

[He smiles as if... this wouldn't have been a big deal either way? Ah well.]

I'll manage somehow. I always do. I appreciate your help.
