It can be pretty disorienting to people who aren't used to it.

[but he will lead!

it's an apartment. his new place is an apartment, but now there's multiple rooms. there are doors for a bedroom and a bathroom, though peering into the bedroom itself there seems to be a large kind of jungle theme going on there with some fake greenery, a little pond, a cat tree, food bowls, etc. there’s another room, but…the door is soot-sprite sized. there is no other door just yet which means this door remains closed. there’s also a door for a coat closet, a bathroom, and a laundry room. to the left of the door is the kitchen with standard appliances.

in the main room itself there’s a large blue pull-out couch that’s been piled with a few blankets and pillows, likely where riff slept last night. the walls are framed with vinyl records, posters of bands, games, and things he might like, and the wall directly across from the entrance by the window and his desk is a chalkboard wall. there are a few things written on it, mostly lyrics or little doodles, but he’ll see one drawing with a phrase scrawled next to it: it’s always the darkest under the lighthouse. close by, there's we see you and elsewhere there's a few ocean waves drawn in different chalk with the words: feeling, deep inside your ocean, searching for the air to breathe, fear is nothing but an illusion, lead your own way and believe it. elsewhere, there's what looks like the crosswalk from outside, five different sections, and the words: don't let your head get to your heart

there’s a tv hooked up with a projector and with his game systems, and extra seating in the form of a couch. there’s also the desk with his computer and a few little knickknacks on it, including the golden shiba, the green elk and the pink fox on a shelf above the desk right in eyesight. there aren’t as many clocks, but there are a few things on the wall as mentioned, including the marine clown portrait and a few artsy pieces. there are also a few sound panels on the wall, his blue electric guitar on a stand and propped in the corner.

riff stops in the main room and sort of gestures with both hands.]


...this is it.

[ Aymeric has never been here, so he has no reference of the changes. However, this does make sense for Riff? And he's glad to see it all... The emotions shared is awe by it all. Very "modern," nothing he would have been able to imagine on his own.

Of course this isn't his room, so it isn't for him to comment.
]

What do you think of it?

[ pats

the fat cat.

He means the room, not the fat cat, but he wanted to pat it.
]
rindude: (Oh oh the rhythm's gonna set me free)

[personal profile] rindude 2022-03-21 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[aymeric is valid, one must always pat the fat cat. riff's own emotions are sort of buzzing a little in excitement.]

It feels a lot better. I mean I have to fix one of the doors, but...the rest of it feels nice, I think. I have more space. And it's comfortable.

[animal crossing :joy: goes here.]

[ He gives it another look, then looks at Riff. Blips of happiness to see this resident happy. ]

And there are many testaments to people's care for you here. Very lovely and heartening.
rindude: (So I'm ready I'm moving)

[personal profile] rindude 2022-03-21 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sure. [he's still not entirely sure that's it, but...it's kind of nice that people actually worked together. like a team. it's...a fuzzy feeling that is hard to place for him, but something he seems to appreciate nevertheless.]

...you can sit on the cat if you want instead of just petting it.

[have a seat and relax.]

[ shut up people love you. Aymeric's vibes aren't as rude as that, but there's some stubborn af belief that he's right and it's amplified by emotionshare.

But to the fat cat address.
]

Oh, I would never sit on this precious and perfect creature.

[ Continues to pet... the fat cat. It should be obvious who suggested this. ]
rindude: (I'm coming back until)

[personal profile] rindude 2022-03-21 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
[thanks aymeric?? also im losing it. riff is just. pausing for a second to kind of squint at him before there's a very light laugh.]

I take it you're a fan of cats?

[meteion vaguely explained that it looks similar to a creation on their star, so. he can maybe draw a few conclusions. this is better than lingering on the awkwardness of knowing people do actually care.]

[ ty your 12k gap of ff14 knowledge. Anyway, he stops petting it because he can't keep petting a couch the whole time he's here. ]

You would be right. I own one myself; Lady Chouquette is her title.
rindude: (I'm improving)

[personal profile] rindude 2022-03-22 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[help me. aymeric could pet the couch if he wanted, riff truly does not mind.

but there's a little grin at that.]


Does...she happen to look like this one? [aymeric?]
disestablishment: (pic#15573309)

[personal profile] disestablishment 2022-03-22 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
Nay. Her coat is pure white and her eyes are blue.

[ Looks at the couch and strokes his chin, pensive. ]

I would never allow her to grow so round, though fat cats are very charming.
rindude: (Show you my strength)

[personal profile] rindude 2022-03-23 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
[they're really out here having a conversation about fat cats huh.]

I guess so...the couch is kinda cute. [he pauses for a second, tilting his head in thought.] ...I think...the city I was from had a really famous brand that was cat-inspired. But it was a black cat, not a white one. Or a fat one.

[ AYMERIC CAME HERE TO CHECK ON RIFF CAUSE IT'S A SAD DAY AND IT'S NOW CATS. ]

I'm full glad you hold some positive feelings for the couch. [ Hmm. ] Did you like that cat?
rindude: (I'm improving)

[personal profile] rindude 2022-03-23 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[CAN'T BE SAD IF THERE'S CATS.

but also riff is a simple bean, he does love this cat couch. he thinks about that question though.]


I don't know if it was something I liked or disliked, but I'm pretty sure a friend really liked it. [he digs into his pockets! and he pulls out his phone which has a cute case on it.]

This was it.

[personal profile] disestablishment 2022-03-23 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ YOU CAN STILL BE SAD WITH CATS... The smallest gasp. ]

That is adorable...

[ ............. ]

What is it?
rindude: (I'm coming back until)

[personal profile] rindude 2022-03-24 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
...what, the case? [he sounds amused, popping it off of his phone before handing it to aymeric. it's a cute case.]

Or the brand itself? Because I don't think I remember that part either.
disestablishment: (pic#15454884)

[personal profile] disestablishment 2022-03-25 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ ........ (whispers to himself) it popped off? He takes it and inspects it at different angles. ]

It is a case for your phone... Akin to an accessory. I had never considered.

[ Hm. He's still sending waves of fondness as he returns the case. Kitty. ]

How are you settling with your memories, Lord Riff?
rindude: (The world is yours)

[personal profile] rindude 2022-03-25 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[happy for aymeric's new discovery.]

Yeah. They're meant to keep it safe in case you, like, drop your phone or to keep it from getting scratched up and stuff. [the case goes back onto the phone. kitty.

but what a question.]


...it's been an...interesting time, I guess. I'm remembering things, but I still don't really know much about any of it.
disestablishment: (pic#15478975)

[personal profile] disestablishment 2022-03-25 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
You would think they could make phones... Resilient, instead of needing additional enhancements.

[ Aymeric is a nokia fan now i've decided. ]

They're not haunting, are they?
rindude: (You don't know me so I'll show you)

[personal profile] rindude 2022-03-25 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I think they may have used to, but they didn't have all of the same features they do now. They only existed to make calls. Kind of a letdown.

[aymeric your brick..

but ah. huh. hm. well.]


...nothing's been as bad as the one you saw if that's what you mean. It's just that they're so out of order and disjointed I can't even figure out what is and isn't a real memory anymore.
disestablishment: (pic#15454876)

[personal profile] disestablishment 2022-03-27 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
That does sound disappointing. I've found that I have warmed up to the camera.

[ Even though he took very few pictures. It's still nice. A nod to the memories. ]

How do you fare then? I initially came here to check on you.

[ worry, concern... Aymeric came here to check because Memories and also Deaths today. ]
rindude: (Psycho cane)

[personal profile] rindude 2022-03-27 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
It's a good way to record the things you want to remember, right? I don't think I've ever had a phone without a camera, or texting or anything like that.

[...ehhhhh. the vibe is just...iffy. a little uncertain, a little sad, and a little confused.]

You mean with everything going on? It's...been a lot to process still, on top of the stuff I'm remembering. It's like the prism doesn't want to give us time to breathe anymore which really doesn't make sense. I'm kind of worried about everybody else.
disestablishment: (pic#15478975)

[personal profile] disestablishment 2022-03-28 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
... 'Tis strange, but the Prism has allowed me more freedoms than I would have on my star. [ It's. Nice. And yet Aymeric wishes not to be here, obviously. ] Still, I would rather carry plentiful of burdens if it means you and yours can breathe easier and navigate what the Prism is bidding you.

[ Closes his eyes. ]
rindude: (I'm coming back until)

[personal profile] rindude 2022-03-28 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[aymeric...there's a slightly incredulous laugh at that.]

Dude, you don't have to carry everybody's burdens or whatever just because you can. That's not really fair to you either. [there's a pause.] We should be helping each other carry them, right?
