So let me get this straight.

The government here is hiring amnesiacs - some of which are kids - until we can earn back our memories. I don't know why, but something about this just sounds really sketchy to me.

[Just arrived and already breaking out the sarcasm! Clearly this kid is a real gem.Anyway, I'm new here, and there are some rocks

[Oh...another child. Ken hasn't seen many people here near his age.]

Ah, I'll bring an umbrella. You're...where...?

[empireofmymind]

--Mm, it was nothing.

[But he's smiling in a way that means "you're welcome".]

We're almost there. You can - borrow some of my things, if yours are too wet.

[youngestboxer]

[He glances over his clothes - not only are they kind of wet, but they're also really made more for summer than snow.]

Do you think I could? Something tells me that staying in these clothes would be a bad idea.

[empireofmymind]

[Ken looks away, self-conscious, but glad he thought of it. Right. People shouldn't stay out in the cold in summer clothes, particularly not once they've gotten wet.]

It's fine...I don't have much, but...

Anyway, it's just up ahead.

[And there indeed it is. If there are no objections, Ken will accompany Yuta into the building.]

[youngestboxer]

[No objections at all! In fact, Yuta looks more than a bit grateful.]

Thanks a ton, Ichijouji! You're a real life saver.

[empireofmymind]

[Ken will show Yuta the way to the elevator and press the button for the fourth floor. His cheeks have colored faintly.]

...Anytime.

[youngestboxer]

[Yuta's looking around curiously all the while.]

So this is where they're having us live? ...Could be worse.

[empireofmymind]

I suppose.

[The elevator "dings" its arrival, and Ken holds the door for Yuta.]

When we find your room I'll bring you the clothes. I have a roommate, so...

[Not that he really thinks Barnaby will mind if Yuta comes over, but he'd still like to give advance notice. Besides, there's that hole in their kitchen. Best keep that private.]

[youngestboxer]

Sounds good to me. Thanks again!

[He walks down the hallway and glances around at the rooms, picking out the path to his. It doesn't take him long to find 417.]

Looks like this should be it. Which one's yours?

[empireofmymind]

405...I'll be right back.

[And he will indeed rush back to his place in search of clothes: he doesn't have too many just yet, and none are very exciting.

Still, it's better than being soaked through in summer clothing, so Ken picks up a pair of dark grey pants and a button-down shirt, and heads on back to 417.]

[youngestboxer]

[In the meantime, Yuta's got the door propped open while he checks out the room.]

I don't see anyone else's things here... I must be on my own.

[He looks up when he hears Ken approach.]

Ah- That was fast.

[empireofmymind]

[Ken shrugs, stepping in for a look at the place. No roommate? Though it's probably more accurate to say "no roommate yet".]

Here.

[He offers the clothes.]

There's - shops around, once the weather improves.

[youngestboxer]

I might just go today. I don't want to keep your clothes from you too long.

[He takes the clothes gratefully.]

I'll use the bathroom real quick. Are you busy later? If you are I can probably find the shops on my own, but it would be faster with someone who actually knows the area...

[empireofmymind]

Later? Um...

[He has to think about it for a moment, only to realize how silly he's being. If there's a school here he hasn't been attending it, and he hasn't gotten a job, either.]

I'm...free, if you'd like. Thanks.

[For some reason he feels really happy about this invitation. Even if it's only because he can help - though he's happy to assist - another person his age wants to spend time with him.

Ken thinks this might be something friends do.]

[youngestboxer]

[Yuta's face spreads into a grin.]

Great! I'll be back in a second - we can go then!

[Sure enough, it doesn't take him long enough to change. Thankfully, it looks like the clothes fit well enough.]

Whew, that's better. I'm ready to go if you are!

[empireofmymind]

[Oh, good, the clothes are fine....wait, now?

Ken's fine with it, he just got lost in thought for a moment there.]

Ah - all right. I don't know too many places, but I'll do my best.
