Character developement and First RP
MintyFoxFuji (9:29:12 PM): I'm gonna be a guy...
Tsuralin (9:29:16 PM): as am I
MintyFoxFuji (9:29:20 PM): and...
MintyFoxFuji (9:29:24 PM): he's gonna...
MintyFoxFuji (9:29:29 PM): have glasses!
MintyFoxFuji (9:29:33 PM): yes!
MintyFoxFuji (9:29:34 PM): OH!
MintyFoxFuji (9:29:41 PM): He's gonna be a scientist!
MintyFoxFuji (9:29:52 PM): and a loner
Tsuralin (9:29:56 PM): aw
MintyFoxFuji (9:30:12 PM): mostly because he has self conciousness issues
MintyFoxFuji (9:30:21 PM): so... he's a closet shy guy
MintyFoxFuji (9:30:32 PM): he acts very confident and quiet at work
MintyFoxFuji (9:30:38 PM): but he's actually a bit shy
MintyFoxFuji (9:30:39 PM): yes
MintyFoxFuji (9:30:41 PM): and...
MintyFoxFuji (9:31:13 PM): he'll have short black hair and goldish-brown eyes (like me!)
MintyFoxFuji (9:31:15 PM): and...
MintyFoxFuji (9:31:23 PM): *ponders a moment more*
MintyFoxFuji (9:31:25 PM): His name...
MintyFoxFuji (9:31:53 PM): John....
Tsuralin (9:32:03 PM): XD Yay!
MintyFoxFuji (9:32:27 PM): Sukiyama? that came to me first... or... Morita?
MintyFoxFuji (9:32:33 PM): which sounds better...
Tsuralin (9:32:44 PM): Sukiyama
MintyFoxFuji (9:32:47 PM): okay!
MintyFoxFuji (9:32:51 PM): maybe not John...
Tsuralin (9:32:57 PM): XD
MintyFoxFuji (9:33:11 PM): something more japanese... but... still common...
MintyFoxFuji (9:34:27 PM): Kensuke
MintyFoxFuji (9:34:39 PM): wait.. sounds too much like my name
Tsuralin (9:34:52 PM): Okays, lessee.... My guy's gonna beeeeeeee... a street thief-kinna person, who's insanely full of himself and loud. XD Aaaaaand, he'll have semi-shoulder length hair (like Katou!), but it'll be blue-black, and he'll have steel grey eyes.
MintyFoxFuji (9:35:08 PM): oh!
Tsuralin (9:35:09 PM): And now, a naaaaame...
MintyFoxFuji (9:35:12 PM): Hot and dangerous!
Tsuralin (9:35:15 PM): XD
MintyFoxFuji (9:37:23 PM): Somethign foriegn and/or exotic or rare
Tsuralin (9:37:39 PM): XD I'm going with a Russian name
MintyFoxFuji (9:38:22 PM): oh!
MintyFoxFuji (9:40:27 PM): Maybe Akira for a first name for Sukiyama...
MintyFoxFuji (9:40:32 PM): Sukiyama Akira...
MintyFoxFuji (9:40:37 PM): sounds pretty subtle
MintyFoxFuji (9:40:38 PM): and comon
Tsuralin (9:40:42 PM): yesh
MintyFoxFuji (9:40:50 PM): you think that's okay?
Tsuralin (9:40:52 PM): I do
MintyFoxFuji (9:41:00 PM): alright hen
MintyFoxFuji (9:41:01 PM): *then
Tsuralin (9:41:21 PM): I'm going with... Dima, which is a nickname for Dmitriy
MintyFoxFuji (9:41:42 PM): wow... never gonna remember that... so... neither with Sukiyana
MintyFoxFuji (9:41:45 PM): *sukimaya
MintyFoxFuji (9:41:49 PM): *sukiyama
MintyFoxFuji (9:41:54 PM): <-- dislexic obviously
Tsuralin (9:41:55 PM): XD
MintyFoxFuji (9:42:06 PM): aw man... how sad
MintyFoxFuji (9:42:10 PM): anyhow, yes...
Tsuralin (9:42:17 PM): Lessee... his name is gonna be.... well, if I'm following Russian naming, his full name would beee....
MintyFoxFuji (9:42:19 PM): Dirna... Dirna what?
MintyFoxFuji (9:42:28 PM): *excited*
Tsuralin (9:43:24 PM): Dmitriy Ivanovich Shairrkov
MintyFoxFuji (9:43:36 PM): holy shit, what a mouthfull
Tsuralin (9:44:06 PM): XD Gotta love those Russians and their names. But.. Dima for short. XD VERY short
MintyFoxFuji (9:44:18 PM): yes, and rememberable
Tsuralin (9:44:22 PM): XD
MintyFoxFuji (9:44:41 PM): Sukiyama will be doing a lot of "that guy!" and "hey you!" and "what's his name"
Tsuralin (9:44:53 PM): XD I bet!
MintyFoxFuji (9:45:15 PM): but yes... so, a thief meets a scientist
MintyFoxFuji (9:45:30 PM): at least it's not as cliche as a cop or doctor, but close enough
Tsuralin (9:45:40 PM): XDD
MintyFoxFuji (9:45:44 PM): speaking of cliche, how will they meet?
Tsuralin (9:45:51 PM): hm......
MintyFoxFuji (9:45:58 PM): A stolen formula or research information?
MintyFoxFuji (9:46:13 PM): or will they just bump into each other on the street?
Tsuralin (9:46:21 PM): they could do that...
MintyFoxFuji (9:46:27 PM): Sukiyama isn't the kind to hire a thief...
Tsuralin (9:46:36 PM): Yeah
MintyFoxFuji (9:46:45 PM): aw, my boy's such a prud
MintyFoxFuji (9:46:53 PM): (without the e apparently)
Tsuralin (9:46:54 PM): XD
Tsuralin (9:47:05 PM): yes
MintyFoxFuji (9:47:22 PM): he's not quite at teh prude stage, only the prud stage
MintyFoxFuji (9:47:25 PM): but on topic!
Tsuralin (9:48:08 PM): they could just bump into each other. That works for me
MintyFoxFuji (9:49:01 PM): alright
MintyFoxFuji (9:49:05 PM): when, where?
MintyFoxFuji (9:49:08 PM): situation time
Tsuralin (9:49:12 PM): hmmm
MintyFoxFuji (9:49:56 PM): Sukiyama probably is in only common areas of town, to and from work, grocerry store
MintyFoxFuji (9:50:03 PM): he lives in an apartment all alone
MintyFoxFuji (9:50:16 PM): maybe he has a pet...
MintyFoxFuji (9:50:20 PM): I'll say a rat
Tsuralin (9:50:26 PM): Aw!
MintyFoxFuji (9:51:10 PM): he fell in love witha test subject, and, as the only thing he's ever done against regulation, he did not terminate it with the rest in the experiment as is usually required
MintyFoxFuji (9:51:18 PM): he snuck it home in his pocket
Tsuralin (9:51:22 PM): X3
MintyFoxFuji (9:51:45 PM): so we can safely say that even though he works with animals, he has a soft spot for them
MintyFoxFuji (9:51:58 PM): but that's not too important I suppose at this point
MintyFoxFuji (9:52:15 PM): he's not the type to end up at clubs or bars, unless it's for work
Tsuralin (9:52:21 PM): Yeah
MintyFoxFuji (9:52:33 PM): and then, it's just a local plaace, he usually excuses himself early too
MintyFoxFuji (9:52:45 PM): but is willing to stay if asked or needed
MintyFoxFuji (9:53:03 PM): sorry if I'm figuring a lot of this out in aim
MintyFoxFuji (9:53:12 PM): not sure if any of this can help at all or not ^^;
Tsuralin (9:53:14 PM): XD Dima likes aaaaaaalla those places. He's forever hanging out at places like bars and such
MintyFoxFuji (9:53:22 PM): lol
MintyFoxFuji (9:55:03 PM): Sukiyama does genetics research
Tsuralin (9:55:12 PM): yey, genetics
MintyFoxFuji (9:55:26 PM): mostly work on how genetic disorders progress and evolve in pedigrees
Tsuralin (9:55:37 PM): interesting
MintyFoxFuji (9:56:15 PM): well, I know somethign about it, so it may be easier for me than some fields
Tsuralin (9:56:26 PM): yeah
MintyFoxFuji (9:57:12 PM): okay, more about Dima
Tsuralin (9:57:22 PM): what more would you like to know?
MintyFoxFuji (9:57:32 PM): I don't know...
Tsuralin (9:57:43 PM): Hm... he's veeeeeeery outgoing. VERy
MintyFoxFuji (9:57:45 PM): I guess... your boy's more of a mystery
MintyFoxFuji (9:58:04 PM): very as in a slut, or very as in, he uses himself to get what he wants?
MintyFoxFuji (9:58:07 PM): both perhaps
Tsuralin (9:58:48 PM): he'll only sleep with someone if there's much money involved, but he's not above flaunting his, ah... assets to get what he wants.
MintyFoxFuji (9:58:57 PM): XD
MintyFoxFuji (9:59:01 PM): I gotcha
MintyFoxFuji (9:59:13 PM): so, where will they run into each other...
Tsuralin (9:59:48 PM): Hm... I guess... on Sukiyama's way to work?
MintyFoxFuji (9:59:58 PM): alright then
MintyFoxFuji (10:00:08 PM): so somewhere on the street? or in the office building?
Tsuralin (10:00:49 PM): Hm.. office building. We can say he knows someone Sukiyama works with...
MintyFoxFuji (10:00:55 PM): alright
Tsuralin (10:01:05 PM): ^_^
MintyFoxFuji (10:01:47 PM): so... who starts?
Tsuralin (10:02:16 PM): Ah... you. You can go ahead and walk into the building
MintyFoxFuji (10:02:40 PM): oh great, I get to start the whole mood of the RP, eh?
Tsuralin (10:02:45 PM): XD
MintyFoxFuji (10:02:50 PM): *takes a deep breathe
MintyFoxFuji (10:03:04 PM): Shall I change font for Sukiyama too? I think I shall make it... blue
Tsuralin (10:03:13 PM): okays
MintyFoxFuji (10:05:59 PM): With his briefcase firmly in one hand and his ID badge, which was also clipped to his lab coat, in the other, Sukiyama Akira rushed into the building where he worked. He was half an hour early, but he always pushed himself as if he were an hour late. Trying not to run through the lobby, he walked quickly , cutting around the corner towards the elevators.
MintyFoxFuji (10:06:37 PM): [(not sure what way you wanted to do this rp, in short or long type, but there it is! The begining! Should we do tags too?)]
Tsuralin (10:06:57 PM): ((XD Up to yoooou. I'm very open with RPs))
MintyFoxFuji (10:07:06 PM): <-- does care either
MintyFoxFuji (10:07:19 PM): [we're way too giving with each other on this thing]
Tsuralin (10:07:28 PM): ((XD No lie))
MintyFoxFuji (10:08:09 PM): [so... why don't you just do whatever's the easiest and most comfortable for you. I am fine with any of them. And I can just do the same]
Tsuralin (10:08:22 PM): ((Hm....))
MintyFoxFuji (10:08:39 PM): [ball's in your court now, so to speak]
Tsuralin (10:08:51 PM): ((XD; ))
Tsuralin (10:11:35 PM): The elevator doors dinged open, and Dima nearly fell out backwards. "Manda!" He cried to the person still inside, as he caught his balance. The soors slammed shut and he turned in a huff. An annoyed expression was etched upon his features, and his fist, which were by his sides, were balled in frustration. With a grunt, he walked heavily away from the elevators.
Tsuralin (10:11:50 PM): ((italisized words are Russian words, btw... XD))
MintyFoxFuji (10:12:08 PM): [that's great! I may learn something from all of this!]
Tsuralin (10:12:43 PM): ((XD Just the little bit I know... and mosta that's just slang... Like "manda" means pussy or cunt XD))
MintyFoxFuji (10:13:09 PM): [oh my! I learned dirty words first apparently]
Tsuralin (10:13:16 PM): ((XD))
MintyFoxFuji (10:14:45 PM): "Hold the elevator!" Sukiyama cried when he heard the ding. Starting to run so as not to miss it, he ran straight into another person.
MintyFoxFuji (10:15:39 PM): "I'm sorry!" he said hurriedly as he went to pick up his fallen brief case.
Tsuralin (10:17:18 PM): "Ow! Shit, that hurt," Dima cried and took a step back. He rubbed the side of his face and glared up at the person who'd rocketed into him.
MintyFoxFuji (10:19:57 PM): Standing up quickly, Akira bowed repeatedly to the other man. "I'm very sorry. I shouldn't have run, but I am trying to get to my office before I'm late." Peering up slightly to see if it was an associate to his research company or not. His eyes caught sight of a foreigner's grey eyes.
Tsuralin (10:23:14 PM): "Apology accepted, then. And another elevator's coming soon enough, you won't be late," Dima said in a knowing tone.
MintyFoxFuji (10:25:31 PM): "sankyuu beri macchi, sah" Sukiyama said in his accented english, trying to accomidate a possible interest for his company, cursing himself for his behavior and how it could cost the boss and his coworkers.
MintyFoxFuji (10:26:13 PM): After another bow, he moved to push the up button.
Tsuralin (10:27:28 PM): Dima laughed a very boyish laugh and leaned against the wall.
"Hey," he said after a second. "I think you're missing something."
MintyFoxFuji (10:28:17 PM): Turning, nervous that he'd made some sort of mistake he questioned again in English. "Iessu?"
Tsuralin (10:29:13 PM): He smirked and held up a pair of keys. "I think these are yours.. What do they go to? Your place?"
MintyFoxFuji (10:30:40 PM): "Oh!" Reaching out worriedly, Akira smiled sheepishly. "Thank you again. They are very important for me to have".
Tsuralin (10:32:12 PM): "Da?" His grin grew wider and he held the keys up to his face and examined them. "What's so important about them?"
MintyFoxFuji (10:33:25 PM): Getting worried that he was being made fun of by some foreigner, just because this man was more important than him, he frowned. "They are my keys. May I please have them back?"
Tsuralin (10:34:43 PM): "Mmmm.... nyet," he answered, the grin still on his face. "I like these keys. They're nice and shiny."
MintyFoxFuji (10:37:20 PM): Taking a deep breath to keep his compsure, he looked evenly at the foreigner, standing up to his full height. "Please, sir. I need you to return my keys, no matter how much you've grown attached to thier appearance".
Tsuralin (10:38:33 PM): "Ah, you're no fun," he said and he tossed the keys to him. However, after the keys left his hands, he walked over to his side and leaned against one of the elevator doors.
MintyFoxFuji (10:40:07 PM): "Thank you." Sticking the keys deep within his pocket, he turned to wait for the elevator, deciding to ignore the other man as much as possible.
Tsuralin (10:40:56 PM): "what's your name?" Dima asked after a few seconds of silence. He cocked his head to the side in interest and stared up at the stranger.
MintyFoxFuji (10:41:36 PM): "Sukiyama".
Tsuralin (10:42:10 PM): "That's a weird name," he said.
MintyFoxFuji (10:42:29 PM): Akira shrugged.
Tsuralin (10:42:52 PM): "Don't you wander at what my name is?"
MintyFoxFuji (10:44:09 PM): Did this guy have a weirder name that he felt the need to share? "Sure." he replied, calmly and quietly, all the while wondering why the elevator was taking so long to come.
Tsuralin (10:45:14 PM): He grinned. "Dmitriy," came his answer.
MintyFoxFuji (10:46:27 PM): "Is that so?" Sukiyama feigned interest. It was certainly a strange name... where was this guy from? Maybe he wasn't American... although he had the attitude to be...
Tsuralin (10:47:25 PM): "It is. Anyway, what do you do here?"
MintyFoxFuji (10:48:16 PM): "I'm in the research department with Morita Co." he replied hurriedly.
MintyFoxFuji (10:48:42 PM): *corp
Tsuralin (10:49:25 PM): "Well, that's boring," Dima said as the elevator dinged it's arrival. "Ah, it's here!" He leaned away from the wall and all but jumped into the elevator.
MintyFoxFuji (10:50:41 PM): Sukiyama nearly froze in place as this strange foreign guy jumped into his elevator. He just had to play it cool until he got to his floor. "If you say so."
MintyFoxFuji (10:51:05 PM): He figured that being disintereted would probably get him free of this guy sooner.
Tsuralin (10:51:43 PM): "So, how're you today?" He asked as soon as they were in the elevator.
MintyFoxFuji (10:52:03 PM): "Fine".
MintyFoxFuji (10:52:30 PM): He pushed the button for the 23rd floor.
Tsuralin (10:53:32 PM): He laughed. "You apteka are all the same. So cold and distant." He cleared his throat. "Now would be the time you ask me the same question."
MintyFoxFuji (10:54:42 PM): "What did you call me?" he asked, sure that this guy was trying to munipulate him into a certain type of conversation.
Tsuralin (10:55:24 PM): "Apteka," he answered simply.
MintyFoxFuji (10:55:50 PM): "And what does that mean, if you don't mind me asking?"
Tsuralin (10:56:52 PM): "Basically.... I grouped you with the chemists and others of a nearly identical profession," he said while he put his hands behind his back and leaned against the wall of the elevator.
MintyFoxFuji (10:58:07 PM): "... I see. I suppose to some people all scientist are the same." The elevator dinged as it halted at the 23rd floor. "But alas, I must be going. It was an interesting coversation with you."
Tsuralin (10:59:12 PM): "Ah, but this is my floor as well," he grinned.
MintyFoxFuji (11:01:33 PM): "Really?" This was unbelievable, this guy must be playing with him. Was one of the higher ups testing him? He put his hand up to hold the elevator door. "After you then, sir."
Tsuralin (11:02:18 PM): "Ah, how sweet of you," he gave the other man a wink and trotted out of the elevator.
MintyFoxFuji (11:02:54 PM): Sukiyama pushed the door close button and the 24th floor button at the same time, rushing the doors to close.
Tsuralin (11:03:54 PM): He turned and watched the doors close, then shrugged. He wasn't all that surprised.
MintyFoxFuji (11:06:11 PM): Sukiyama breathed a sigh of relief. He got off on the 24th floor and walked down the stairs to his floor. He's never dealt with a situation like that before and he really didn't want to deal with it again. Exiting the stairwell he went down the hallway to his office door.
Tsuralin (11:08:13 PM): After wandering the floor, and not finding anyone worth his time, he wandered back to the elevator and went back down to the lobby.
MintyFoxFuji (11:08:40 PM): Reaching for his ID card, he realised that it was missing.
MintyFoxFuji (11:09:05 PM): That's why that guy was following him! He must have grabbed the ID card as well as the keys!
Tsuralin (11:10:09 PM): Flopping in a chair, he swung his legs over the side of it and leaned over the other side. He took the ID out of his pocket and stared at it.
MintyFoxFuji (11:11:07 PM): He wanted to call security, but the office was locked to anyone without an ID card. This was unbelievable! How did this happen to him?
MintyFoxFuji (11:12:06 PM): Pressing the buzzer on the office door he called to the secritary, Minako and told her what happened. But when it came to the man's name, he couldn't remember it.
MintyFoxFuji (11:12:55 PM): Not only that, security said they had to verrify his identification before they could begin a search
Tsuralin (11:14:33 PM): He remained on the chair, leaning backwards off of it like a small, hyper child. He continued to stare at the ID and tried to prounounce his name. Once he was sure he'd gotten it, he said it over and over.
MintyFoxFuji (11:16:03 PM): Now worried for his job, he was escorted to the security office on the 5th floor.
Tsuralin (11:17:15 PM): Over and over he said the other man's name, swinging his feet, which hung over the other arm of chair.
MintyFoxFuji (11:19:03 PM): "No, I did not give the man my ID card. I didn't know it was even missing until I tried to get into the office." he explained to the doubting men "and I know it was him, because I had it in my hand and on my labcoat when I accidentally ran into him in the lobby, and he took my keys at that time too. He was trying to find out what they were for."
MintyFoxFuji (11:19:43 PM): The interogations went on, bosses were informed and confirmed that Sukiyama was who he claimed to be.
Tsuralin (11:21:12 PM): Never once thinking that the other man might get in trouble, Dima stayed put and continued staring at the ID.
MintyFoxFuji (11:22:21 PM): After a few more hours, Sukiyama was sent home with a large packet of paperwork to complete for the stolen ID.
Tsuralin (11:23:26 PM): Dima had fallen asleep in the chair, the ID tucked away in his pocket. His legs were still kicked over the side of the chair and his head was hung back over the other side.
MintyFoxFuji (11:24:37 PM): Heading out through the lobby, Akira noticed something and looked up.
MintyFoxFuji (11:24:43 PM): "YOU!"
Tsuralin (11:25:24 PM): A loud noise awoke him and blinked the sleep out of his eyes. He sat up slowly.
MintyFoxFuji (11:26:41 PM): His eyes narrowed as he glared at the thief who had been sitting in the lobby the whole 3 hours he had been through tortuous lectures and quesitoning sessions. "Give me my ID back before I have you arrested!"
Tsuralin (11:28:16 PM): "ID? Oh yes. Here you are, Sukiyama Akira," he said as he pulled the ID out of his pocket and held it out to him.
MintyFoxFuji (11:29:23 PM): Akira snatched the ID away and motioned to the security guy who was looking anxiously over at the two.
Tsuralin (11:30:09 PM): Dima blinked and looked over at the security guy. He grinned sleepily and gave him a small wave.
MintyFoxFuji (11:30:41 PM): Sukiyama glanced between them. "You know him?!"
Tsuralin (11:30:55 PM): The Russian man nodded.
MintyFoxFuji (11:32:52 PM): Grabbing the foreigner's wrist, he turned hard on his heels and began the march towards the security office. "You have caused me more than enough trouble. You and your friend Takeda are getting reported."
Tsuralin (11:35:49 PM): "Aw, you'd do that? But that's not nice."
MintyFoxFuji (11:36:52 PM): Stopping and turning to look at the other man. "Neither is playing a joke that nearly looses someone thier job." Turning back around, he began to drag Dirma once more.
Tsuralin (11:37:14 PM): "Joke? I played a joke?" He asked, geniunely confused.
MintyFoxFuji (11:39:11 PM): "So you stole it then, did you? Even better. You're going to the authorities." pushing the elevator button and waiting, Sukiyama began to think that he'd never been so angry in his life.
Tsuralin (11:39:46 PM): "That's my job, it's what I do. I'm a thief," Dima said simply.
MintyFoxFuji (11:40:19 PM): Pausing, he wondered if the man were telling the truth or not.
Tsuralin (11:40:56 PM): "Could you kindly let my wrist loose a bit? It's starting to hurt a bit," he said, wiggling his arm.
MintyFoxFuji (11:41:59 PM): "Will you run away?" Sukiyama asked quietly, and rather calmly
Tsuralin (11:42:22 PM): "Nope. Haven't yet, have I?"
MintyFoxFuji (11:42:56 PM): He let go of the man's wrist, back still to him.
Tsuralin (11:43:51 PM): Dima put his hand around his wrist and moved it back and forth, trying to make it feel a bit better. He kept his word and didn't try to run off.
MintyFoxFuji (11:44:24 PM): The elevator opened and Akira stepped in, holding open the door. "let's go."
Tsuralin (11:44:47 PM): Dima walked in willingly and stood beside the other man.
MintyFoxFuji (11:45:17 PM): Hitting the 5th floor button, he almost began to feel bad. This guy obviously wasn't trying to do anything wrong.
MintyFoxFuji (11:45:53 PM): Wait, what was he thinking? This was a man that admitted to being a thief and had messed with his getting to work all morning!
Tsuralin (11:46:36 PM): Once again, Dima was leaning against the elevator wall with his hands now behind his back. There was a relaxed, peaceful look on his face.
MintyFoxFuji (11:47:30 PM): When the doors opened he motioned for the other man to get off.
Tsuralin (11:48:24 PM): Dima trotted off the elevator, and once out, stopped and waited for the other man.
MintyFoxFuji (11:49:42 PM): Getting off himself, he walked to security office and knocked on the door, the head of security answering to let both men in, with an "Ah, Sukiyama-kun, back again with another story, eh?"
Tsuralin (11:50:16 PM): Dima followed along behind, taking in the sights of the fifth floor.
MintyFoxFuji (11:51:20 PM): "I found the man who stole my ID card, and he had it." Akira began to explain, pointing at the Russian behind him.
Tsuralin (11:55:21 PM): Dima looked into the room from behind the other man and looked around. He moved his way into the room and waved at the people inside.
MintyFoxFuji (11:57:14 PM): After a snort and a finger pointing from the head of Security, Sukiyama noticed that the thief was making friends with people. "Is this all a joke to you, Sir? I may loose my job over this, and you're not taking it seriouisly in the least!"
Tsuralin (11:58:59 PM): "Oooh," Dima waved a hand at him. "Don't worry about it. Worrying will give you wrinkles on that gorgeous face of yours, and that would be a horrible loss of beauty. I'll talk to your superiors, if it'll make you feel better."
MintyFoxFuji (12:00:10 AM): "What?!" Sukiyama nearly fell over, turning to stare incredilously at the most carefree person he'd ever heard of.
MintyFoxFuji (12:01:11 AM): "You boys play nice, alright?" the security officer said, sitting down and his desk. "I have work to do, if you two don't mind leaving. I'll take the card off of block. Next time you loose it, you don't need to make up stories, you're a good worker, and people will believe you more."
MintyFoxFuji (12:01:58 AM): The Japanese man was in shock and just stood there staring between the two men. There was no way that this wasn't a dream!
Tsuralin (12:03:02 AM): "Come on, now. He said to leave," Dima said. He grabbed the mans' arm and left the room. He dropped it the moment they were out of the room and headed for the elevators.
MintyFoxFuji (12:04:15 AM): "Wait!" Sukiyama called, rushing to the elevator. "How can you possibly talk to my superiors? And why is it that you just come in here and turn my career upside down?!"
Tsuralin (12:07:03 AM): "Answer to number one... I don't know. I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Answer to number two... Because you were cute," Dima shrugged.
MintyFoxFuji (12:08:27 AM): Taking a step back, he eyed the man strangely. "Why do you keep saying weird things about me like that? Maybe that's normal where you're from, but it's not appopriate public conversation here." he said in a hushed tone, trying to avoid letting anyone hear.
Tsuralin (12:09:19 AM): "I don't care if people hear what I say, appropriate or not. And it's not weird," he explained.
MintyFoxFuji (12:10:04 AM): "Well Japanese men just don't use that type of language with other men, unless they're... you know."
Tsuralin (12:11:27 AM): "They're....." Dima said, turning and giving him a "go on" look.
MintyFoxFuji (12:12:56 AM): Looking very uncomfortable and checking a few times that noone was around. Leaning in he whispered. "... gay." Straightening up as if nothing happened, he checked again that noone was around
Tsuralin (12:13:48 AM): "So what if they're gay?" Dima said loudly, finding it pretty amusing that one little word would have such an affect on someone.
MintyFoxFuji (12:14:40 AM): "Shhhhh!" Clamping a hand over this man he didn't even know's mouth. "You have to be quiet about that sort of thing."
Tsuralin (12:15:26 AM): "Why?" Dima said, his word muffled by this man's hand.
MintyFoxFuji (12:17:20 AM): The elevator opened, and he rushed them both in, waiting for the doors to close to continue. "That's not something we talk about/"
Tsuralin (12:17:55 AM): "There's nothing wrong with it," the Russian said.
MintyFoxFuji (12:19:39 AM): "If you keep it in your private life, then that's perfectly fine, do what you must. But it is not a public subject by any means." Sukiyama said with a nod and a tone of finality.
Tsuralin (12:20:24 AM): Dima laughed. "You Japanese are funny, you know that?"
MintyFoxFuji (12:20:31 AM): "How is that?"
Tsuralin (12:21:12 AM): "You're so... hush-hush about everything."
MintyFoxFuji (12:22:36 AM): "I prefer to think about it as not flaunting ourselves around. Although the youth these days have started to take after the Americans in that respect." Not being more than 26 himself, perhaps it was improper to speak of youth in such terms, but he firmly believed it to be the truth.
Tsuralin (12:23:43 AM): "Yes, well, American's are... not a people I would choose to take after either," Dima said.
MintyFoxFuji (12:24:47 AM): "So... where are you from then?"
MintyFoxFuji (12:25:02 AM): He wasn't american afterall it seemed..
Tsuralin (12:25:07 AM): "Russia," he said proudly.
MintyFoxFuji (12:25:53 AM): "Oh!" Nodding several times, all became quite clear in his mind. That certainly explained the boldness.
MintyFoxFuji (12:26:02 AM): The elevator doors opened on the lobby.
Tsuralin (12:26:54 AM): Dima strode out and turned to walk backwards. "Speaking of you weird Japanese, what am I suppose to call you? You people address each other weirdly."
MintyFoxFuji (12:28:06 AM): "Unless we are particularly close, we go by last name, often with a polite additive to show respect towards the other person's ancestors and themselves. I'm Sukiyama." he explained matter of factly
Tsuralin (12:29:45 AM): "Sukiyama-ushka," Dima grinned.
MintyFoxFuji (12:31:30 AM): "Ushka?" Sukiyama questioned
Tsuralin (12:32:21 AM): "We use Ushka on the end of names as a show of endearment," Dima explained.
MintyFoxFuji (12:33:16 AM): "I suppose it's like, chan then?" After saying that he paused and wondered the type of relationship the man thought they shared. Friendship?
Tsuralin (12:33:53 AM): "Chan? Like... Jackie?" Dima asked, not a hint of joking or amusement on his features.
MintyFoxFuji (12:34:13 AM): "Jackie?" Now he was getting confused.
Tsuralin (12:34:42 AM): Dima nodded. "You know... the movie star? Jackie Chan...."
MintyFoxFuji (12:36:17 AM): Sukiyama frowned. Russian? Really? Not American at all? "No, he's Chinese. There Chan is a last name."
Tsuralin (12:36:42 AM): Dima blinked. "Oh."
MintyFoxFuji (12:37:55 AM): "I can see how it could easily be mixed up" He smiled, trying to be polite.
Tsuralin (12:38:19 AM): Dima beamed back up at him.
MintyFoxFuji (12:39:15 AM): Sukiyama stared at the Russian for a moment.
Tsuralin (12:39:47 AM): Dima continued smiling for a moment, then turned away from him and looked around.
MintyFoxFuji (12:40:11 AM): "Are you looking for someone?"
Tsuralin (12:40:57 AM): "Nope," he answered. "Just looking around. The archeticture's a little different here, and I'm still getting used to it."
MintyFoxFuji (12:41:34 AM): "I see. Well... I've been sent home so... I should probably get going... uh... what was your name again?"
Tsuralin (12:44:35 AM): "Dmitriy. In Russia, you'd be allowed to call me Dmitriy Ivanovich. Familiars call each other by their Christian and Father's name. But you can call me Dima,"
MintyFoxFuji (12:45:33 AM): "Ibano... uh... sorry, I'm not too good with names. What should I call you?
Tsuralin (12:45:50 AM): "Dima," he answered.
MintyFoxFuji (12:46:14 AM): "Deruna?"
Tsuralin (12:46:29 AM): "Dima."
MintyFoxFuji (12:47:18 AM): "Diruna?" trying to pronounce it with sounds he's not use to, wrinkling his eyebrows trying ot copy the sounds
Tsuralin (12:48:20 AM): "Really, it's not that hard! Dima Diiiiiiiiimaaaaaaa."
MintyFoxFuji (12:48:31 AM): Repeats is several more times in various inflections and pronuciations.
Tsuralin (12:48:54 AM): Dima watched him with a semi amused look
MintyFoxFuji (12:50:26 AM): "Diru... Diri...Dilu..." Concentrating hard to try to get the pronunciation of the first part of it.
Tsuralin (12:50:57 AM): He continued to stand there and watch the other man butcher his name.
MintyFoxFuji (12:52:12 AM): "Di.. Du.. Duru...Duruna? Is that it, Duruna?" he asked, hopeful.
Tsuralin (12:53:36 AM): "....Dima."
MintyFoxFuji (12:55:14 AM): "Okay, what's the first sound?" Feeling completely ridiculous standing in the lobby making weird faces to try to get his tounge to produce the name correctly, he decided to let the other man help.
Tsuralin (12:56:19 AM): "Di. Like... how the Americans say tea. But with a d," Dima explained.
MintyFoxFuji (12:56:54 AM): "Ji... uh.... DI?"
MintyFoxFuji (12:56:58 AM): *Di
Tsuralin (12:57:12 AM): "Yeah! Di," Dima smiled.
MintyFoxFuji (12:57:21 AM): "Okay, next?"
Tsuralin (12:58:09 AM): "Ma. Like... how the Americans say moth."
MintyFoxFuji (12:58:22 AM): "Ma"
Tsuralin (12:58:28 AM): "Dima"
MintyFoxFuji (1:00:50 AM): "Dima?"
MintyFoxFuji (1:01:26 AM): Pondering on how simple that seemed just now, he almost laughed at himself.
Tsuralin (1:01:30 AM): "Yeah!" A large grin broke out over his face.
MintyFoxFuji (1:02:23 AM): "Well, Dima-san, I must go now. Thank you for your help." He bowed.
Tsuralin (1:02:50 AM): "Go?" He said, his smile fading. "Where are you going?"
MintyFoxFuji (1:03:53 AM): "Home. I was sent home early for causing so much trouble with my ID card." He frowned a bit. "At least Aiko will be happy if I come home sooner though."
Tsuralin (1:04:55 AM): "Aiko?"
MintyFoxFuji (1:05:43 AM): "Yes, my pet.." He motioned for them to step outside.
Tsuralin (1:06:31 AM): "You have a pet?!" Dima said as he followed his companion's gesture and started outside.
MintyFoxFuji (1:07:51 AM): Once they were outside he looked that no coworkers were around and began walking away from the building. "Well... yes. She's a rat. Not like some rat from the street though. She's got a clean bill of health."
Tsuralin (1:09:00 AM): "Aw," Dima said.
MintyFoxFuji (1:09:55 AM): "I don't mean to be rude, but you seem to have a lot of freetime on your hands, Dima-san."
Tsuralin (1:10:19 AM): "Well, yeah... It's not like I have a lot to do..."
MintyFoxFuji (1:11:01 AM): "What... DO you do then, if I might be so bold as to ask?"
Tsuralin (1:12:04 AM): "Steal... hang out at bars... Um, that's about it...."
MintyFoxFuji (1:12:28 AM): "What?!"
Tsuralin (1:13:14 AM): "what?"
MintyFoxFuji (1:13:47 AM): "you're joking of course. Hahahaha. So what do you actually do, other than hang out at bars?"
Tsuralin (1:15:05 AM): ".....steal."
MintyFoxFuji (1:16:00 AM): "You can't be serious.... "
Tsuralin (1:16:08 AM): "I am..."
MintyFoxFuji (1:16:58 AM): "So you DID steal my ID!"
Tsuralin (1:17:26 AM): Dima smiled. "Yeah."
MintyFoxFuji (1:17:56 AM): "Oh my gods... I've been talking to a thief! What else have you been taking?"
MintyFoxFuji (1:18:10 AM): Sukiyama began frantically checking his pockets.
Tsuralin (1:18:28 AM): "Just your keys and ID. That's all."
MintyFoxFuji (1:18:57 AM): "Again, or just the first time?" He started to panic about everything on his person.
Tsuralin (1:19:32 AM): "I have nothing of yours now..."
MintyFoxFuji (1:20:13 AM): Akira breathed a sigh of relief.
Tsuralin (1:21:03 AM): "It'd be very easy for me to take something... but I'm not," he explained.
MintyFoxFuji (1:21:34 AM): "So is this a hobby for you, or do you do this as a profession?"
Tsuralin (1:22:07 AM): "Hobby. But I'm so good at it, I should make it my profession. It is how I live, afterall...."
MintyFoxFuji (1:22:54 AM): "So is that why you were in my office today, to steal something to live off of?"
Tsuralin (1:24:21 AM): "No. I came to see Takeda-ushka."
MintyFoxFuji (1:26:11 AM): "Alright..." Noticing he was at his apartment he stopped at the door. "Well, this is my building so...."
Tsuralin (1:26:44 AM): "Can I see your rat?"
MintyFoxFuji (1:26:58 AM): "Will you steal her?"
MintyFoxFuji (1:27:09 AM): "She is awfully cute..."
Tsuralin (1:27:10 AM): Dima laughed. "No way!"
MintyFoxFuji (1:28:51 AM): "... I guess. Just... don't steal my stuffm alright. I don't have a lot. Besides, the only things I have are science books,so you probably wouldn't be interested anyhow..." He was really nervous about letting this guy anywhere near his apartment... but it seemed impolite at this point not to say yes.
Tsuralin (1:31:51 AM): Dima smiled. "Don't trust me?"
MintyFoxFuji (1:32:13 AM): "I'm sure you can imagine why.... No offense of course..."
Tsuralin (1:33:21 AM): He laughed. "I'm not going to steal from you anymore."
MintyFoxFuji (1:34:04 AM): "That is a relief. I suppose it's alright then..." He unlocked the front door to the building and held it open.
Tsuralin (1:35:30 AM): Dima laughed and leaned up to give him a small kiss on the cheek. "You're too cute at times," he said softly before walking into the apartment.
MintyFoxFuji (1:36:10 AM): Sukiyama turned bright red, unsure of what to do next.
And that's all that's there thus far
