[ it sure is a reasonable thing to ask and fortunately giyuu gives it easily without showing much of a reaction. well, he might stare for a moment or two. ]
Tomioka Giyuu.
[ he'll pull one of the doors open to real a bunkbed and table. ]
[ Anaxagoras isn't weirded out by the stare...that, in of itself, feels normal because of the simple fact that two individuals will be sharing the same room now.
Anyway, he does offer something in return: ]
And I am Anaxagoras.
[ His eyes slide on over to see that there is All That. ]
It certainly does. Though...this has other unfortunate implications - being that our arrival was evidently anticipated, by whomever or whatever.
[ giyuu will nod his head in acknowledgment of anaxagoras' name. it's definitely not something that he has heard before but, at this point, everything is a brand new experience for him.
...like indoor plumbing. ]
Possibly whatever trapped us in the place we were in previously.
[ and because he must share this information— ]
There are more rooms than there were people at that other place.
[ Even in Amphoreus there may have been some indoor plumbing here or there, so Anaxagoras does have knowledge of it. Though, things here seem put together differently...it's fine.
But, he gives this a thoughtful consideration - both matters, to be exact, nodding at the first sentence. ]
...I wonder why that is the case. While I could chalk that up to more in lines with anticipated arrivals as well, there could be something else that resulted in there being less people present.
Though, naturally, I wouldn't chalk it up as a sign of anything pleasant.
I slay demons at night since they hide when there's still sunlight.
[ would extra context clues help? probably. me giving anaxa the knowledge he would have known going into trial but you know it's fine... everything about this thread will be funny and haunt my fucking life. ]
If anything tries to attack during the night, I'll do something about it.
[ It certainly does. Anaxagoras understands the situation a bit better now. ]
...If there were a good time to strike, night would indeed be best - unfortunately. I assume you're not the only one who does, regardless.
[ The sheer irony is being felt right about now, it's fine. ]
Hopefully you won't be the only one ready to do so. Even if you're skilled at it, one person can't cover every place at once if there are multiple attacks or threats spread out.
No, I work along a group of other demon slayers. We exist outside of the public's eye as a third-party, so very few people know of us.
Even if I can't be everywhere, I can be in a place where I can at least help one person out. If others want to do something then they can as well.
[ is it fine? nothing about this is fine. we have these two threads to build up the cr that they never had before the trial/execution. retcon a budding friendship.... ]
[ Totally fine...it is what it is. What is life without a few difficulties along the path along with irony? ]
At the very least, knowing of someone who can deal with certain dangers is a good start.
For now, the dangers seem to have mostly remain hidden. But, at some point it could be well within the group's interests to have multiple people on the lookout.
[ Yet, that is a future thing depending on circumstances. So, it can be placed in the backpocket for now. ]
Even if he never mended his association with Aglaea, nor was interested in doing so, he can see why others would feel sorrow at such things. The tone used here is...it doesn't help, but he's been around enough fellow stuffy folks to think that there is something earnest to it. ]
Was this someone originally a good friend of yours?

week 0, monday, late
...That, apparently, he is sharing with someone. Good-bye all semblance of privacy? Because it is certainly dissipated with the wind. ]
And you are?
[ Probably a reasonable thing to ask, right? ]
arrives 9000 yrs late with cup ramen AND WHAT IS THIS SHITPOST I'M CRYING
Tomioka Giyuu.
[ he'll pull one of the doors open to real a bunkbed and table. ]
This explains the different rooms.
it is a shitpost of incredible miracles-

replies to this now that he's on death's door :')
[ don't know what that means and we're not going to worry about it because we're moving to the next real point here: ]
Especially since it's just another place that's only been populated by us.
it's fine...
Danger tends to lurk when the unexpected is still mostly hiding out of sight.
We've already seen signs of it. But, not all, I'm certain.
I wouldn't be surprised if we were all attacked at some point.
[ Paranoid, maybe? Not as far as he's concerned. ]
no subject
[ it doesn't read as paranoia to giyuu. it's not like he's not going to be doing the same. lmao. ]
Danger often lurks at night when cowards take advantage of when people are their most vulnerable.
no subject
[ They think a bit similarly, it seems... ]
...It sounds as if you are speaking from direct experience. But, it does tend to be the best time to catch those unguarded as well.
[ Don't mind that in the future Giyuu encounters a certain wolf at night, it's fine. ]

week 0, post-trial
He'll come around and visit Giyuu at where he's being held. ]
Did they all pan out as you expected it might?
no subject
You mean my "plan"?
no subject
Not necessarily your plan.
Perhaps your expectations?
no subject
I'm used to being hated for what I do, so I don't hold any ill-will to anyone for their reaction.
no subject
Hmm.
Those who are used to facing such criticisms in their actions can adapt a bit better to fraught circumstances.
[ He is speaking from personal experience because yeah he gets it. He was hated for basically speaking the truth by a lot of people. ]
no subject
I've been told that I'm not well-liked by my peers as well.
no subject
[ So, Anaxagoras because has sort of explained better in a way by incidental comment? ]
That's just the way it is. Though, I have a feeling you likely wouldn't be too easily concerned of other people's thoughts.
[ Because he's getting the vibe that is the case. ]
no subject
[ there's more that giyuu would like to say here but he doesn't and simply just moves on. ]
You'd be correct. It doesn't matter what people think of me but, it does make me a little sad.
[ of course, the way he says it is rather deadpan so you really don't know how broken up he is about the whole thing in reality. ]
I've recently wanted to be on better terms with someone.
