WHO: V and his pets and Reira and YOU
WHAT: Getting settled in and establishing his usual haunts
WHERE: Various.
WHEN: August 12th and throughout the rest of the month
WARNINGS: Shouldn't be any, but I'll change this if that changes!

Lumiere 304 (Closed to Reira)
[Arriving and getting settled in would, hopefully, be a quick affair. Even if it's taking a bit for V to actually get to his new room himself, he's actually sent Shadow ahead to check out the room ahead of time--the panther can't talk, of course, so he can't actually greet V's new roommate, but he can sure slide under the door in shadow form to get a look around. And maybe claim the bed as his own for a while.]

Lumiere, Floor 3
[It seems the floor has a trio of new occupants! Usually the human member of the trio in all his deathly pale, heavily tattooed glory can be caught by himself, and he's friendly enough, if a bit quiet. Since classes haven't started, he's mostly spotted wandering to and from the library. Sometimes he can be found in the common room on the floor, accompanied by either a bird or...

Is that a fucking panther? Yes. Yes, it is. It's slinking around the floor. Laying on the couches in the common room. Just. Being the oversized cat it is. If Shadow fits, Shadow sits.]

Library
[Of course, V's most common haunt is the library. He can be found there for ridiculous stretches of time, buried into whatever books catch his interest. Which is a lot. There's mostly books on runes and magic, but there's also... a lot of William Blake books? Someone has a favorite. If he's at the shelves reaching for a book, he'll pause if someone else is reaching for it too.]

Ah--pardon me... did you need that?

[He'll retract his hand immediately, just in case.]

Network, UN: Ahania
[That evening, there's a new post to the network!]
Good evening, everyone. I've just arrived today. You may call me V and I'll be serving as the teaching assistant for the literature classes. I'll be offering tutoring for anyone who requires it. Thank you for your time.

Wildcard
[Feel free to hit this option if you've got some other idea. Or, we can talk if you want to plot something specific! Hit me up on discord at novakaisers#5079 or plurk at

[Oh dear... At least V seems amused.]

It's big enough, and I believe that's what matters.

[Reira seems skeptical. She's looking at V, and then looking at the bed he's to take, and then looking at Shadow as well.] ...You can use my bed, Kitti. There's room for you on mine still.

[!!!]

[Shadow seems pleased by this, if the low rumble that escapes him is any indication.

V just smiles a bit. For once, his luck actually seems to be looking up...]

[It looks up for a few minutes, and then Reira has a question.] ...Did the doctors give you clothes too? They gave me clothes...you have to wear different ones every day.

[She speaks now, and with it comes the stark awareness of her social fumblings.]

I have a few sets, but I intend on getting more as soon as possible.

[Not to mention...]

... I'll also need new clothes for when the seasons change.

[~~You can't keep running from proper shirts forever, V.~~]

[Seasons....] ...What happens when the season changes?

...Do you have to have night clothes too? They have clothes for when the sun goes down too. It's too many.

[He tugs a bit at his coat.]

I can't exactly wear something like this during the winter. It'd be too cold for that.

I've got clothes that should work well enough, at least.

....Oh.

[Spoken like someone who does Not understand Weather.] ...Does that mean you found your own clothes? ...how did you know what ones to get?

I managed to find a few cities in my travels through the Outlands. Some of them had stores that sold clothes... and some of those places will let you try things on before you buy them...

....But how did you know?

[Reira is still learning what Enjoyment Actually Entails and that includes the strange and elusive prospect of Vanity.]
