(Ryland skipped class)

Ryland is home, sitting in the kitchen his face against the counter.

## Ezra the Floofmaster-Last Monday at 3:53 PM

Nathan comes into the kitchen after class ends, "Ryland!"

## Kali the Heterophobe-Last Monday at 3:53 PM

"Hey." Ryland says, a little flatly. He makes a little wave.(edited)

## Ezra the Floofmaster-Last Monday at 3:59 PM

"You good, bro?" Nathan leans against the counter across from him, concern in his voice

## Kali the Heterophobe-Last Monday at 4:00 PM

Ryland slowly sits up. "Yeah, just tired... I'm not used to having so much people around." Ryland says.(edited)

## Kali the Heterophobe-Last Monday at 4:04 PM

"No." Ryland says. "Can you get me some juice?"

## Ezra the Floofmaster-Last Monday at 4:06 PM

Nathan nods and steps over to the fridge to pour some apple juice. He places it in front of Ryland

## Kali the Heterophobe-Last Monday at 4:07 PM

"Thanks." Ryland says. "Have you met Kioshi yet?"

## Ezra the Floofmaster-Last Monday at 4:13 PM

Nathan shakes his head, "Haven't had the chance to talk with him yet... he seems pretty attached to your hip." Nathan grins

## Kali the Heterophobe-Last Monday at 4:13 PM

"He's nice... He's just very anxious and I'm kind of wondering if we're friends or I'm being a babysitter." Ryland sighs and takes a slow sip of juice.

## Ezra the Floofmaster-Last Monday at 4:15 PM

"Maybe if I befriend him he'll lose a bit of the clinginess."

## Kali the Heterophobe-Last Monday at 4:20 PM

"I like him and kind of really feel bad for him, but the attention is a little smothering." Ryland says.

## Ezra the Floofmaster-Last Monday at 4:22 PM

Nathan nods, "I'll help you keep an eye out for him."

## Kali the Heterophobe-Last Monday at 4:23 PM

"Thank you. How was class? Did I miss anything?" Ryland asks.

## Ezra the Floofmaster-Last Monday at 4:25 PM

Nathan laughs, "It was all over the place and I'm sure the teacher is on 5 drugs. So really fun!"

## Kali the Heterophobe-Last Monday at 4:28 PM

"Shame I missed it, Kioshi was kind of freaked out so I took him to the library to study." Ryland says. "I think there's video recordings of the class though."

## Kali the Heterophobe-Last Monday at 4:43 PM

"I think, he kind of fell asleep." Ryland says.

## Kali the Heterophobe-Last Monday at 4:46 PM

"What about you, anyone you've made friends with?" Ryland asks.

## Kali the Heterophobe-Last Monday at 4:49 PM

"Really? That's a shame. What about your roommate—" Ryland pauses. "You're with the alien nympho aren't you?"

## Ezra the Floofmaster-Last Monday at 4:50 PM

"Yeah." Nathan blushes, "He is nice but I don't think we are friends yet."

## Kali the Heterophobe-Last Monday at 4:58 PM

"Has he propositioned you?" Ryland asks, he starts to look away but then catches himself.

## Ezra the Floofmaster-Last Monday at 5:00 PM

"Kinda. He wasn't pushy or anything though."

## Kali the Heterophobe-Last Monday at 5:02 PM

"Right..." Ryland mutters. "Well, the others seem nice. Except that Nine, guy, he's a creep."

## Kali the Heterophobe-Last Monday at 5:04 PM

"Anyway, want to do something?" Ryland asks. "Something relaxing"

## Kali the Heterophobe-Last Monday at 5:24 PM

"Anything you'd like to do? My brain is just switched off." Ryland says.

## Ezra the Floofmaster-Last Monday at 5:25 PM

"I'm up for just watching T.V. or something."

## Kali the Heterophobe-Last Monday at 5:26 PM

"Alright then." Ryland smiles. "Any new anime you picked up since we last saw each other?"

## Ezra the Floofmaster-Last Monday at 5:31 PM

"I just started watching this great show Tiger and Bunny! It's about superheroes and capitalism and the main characters is so cool in a different way! I'd totally restart it to get you caught up!" Nathan signs quickly along with his words, obviously excited

## Kali the Heterophobe-Last Monday at 5:31 PM

Ryland grins at Nathan's excitement. "Sound great."
