<sub>[ Karamatsu doesn't remember what happened and his memories are foggy but they are definitely there. Events that happened in his adulthood seemed like memories or dreams-- the bizarre adventures they had on Eluvio, and now.. here. He oddly knew where here was and well understood he was the only one here. Of course, this made him jump for joy upon realizing he had an entire private "house" to himself and didn't have to share anything with anyone.

He found all of his grown up clothes and found them peculiar more than tasteful but not horrible either. Nothing really fit for him to wear, so he knew he had to go out and get some clothes. During his conquest of exploring his housing he obtained a wallet that had a good amount of money in it. He put on a basic white shirt and nothing else, allowing it to drape over him like a gown. After all, he hadn't discovered how much he thoroughly enjoyed exhibitionism.

He reached up and turned the door knob to leave his housing, quietly wondering how many other adults had full wallets like this person's. Without his mom being around, he knew he could probably get something like ice cream for a meal, so that was going to be his next stop after getting clothes. ]</sub>

[Ichimatsu, upon discovering he had his own form of housing space, promptly disappeared into his room with his cat and curled up in the bed provided and didn't move for a long time. He was, to his knowledge, alone beyond said cat, and for the first time in a very long time, the notion frightened him. He had a vague recollection of a mishmashed series of events-- a spaceship, and Karamatsu, and eventually Osomatsu as well, and a lot of things he tried pretty hard to forget about. Then somehow he was somewhere else, somewhere he seemed to have fallen into intentionally in some way, and...]

[He'd stayed curled in that bed around his cat for nearly an entire day before he realized they probably both needed to eat something, and aimed to leave in search of said something.]

[Which, as luck would have it, happened to be the same time Karamatsu, reduced to a ten year old, was leaving his private room across the hall in a huge t-shirt with his adult self's wallet and no shoes. Nyanko held securely under one arm, he looked the child over at least three times with a dully confused expression on his face.]

...I'm dead again, and this time Hell has sent me back in time.

[glitterkid]

<sub>[ Oddly enough, the situation that has changed some of the residents here have had different effects on them. For Karamatsu's state, he feels at peace being here-- his acceptance here has channeled over into this younger form. He has a vague idea of what he and the rest of his siblings will look like in the future since they are foggy memories in his head, but isn't questioning why or how he knows that.

Off the bat, he knows this is Ichimatsu from the color coded memory he has-- and probably would have been okay not bumping into Ichimatsu at all, because now he knows somebody is gonna try to tell him what to do. So, he wrinkles his nose and sticks out his tongue: ]</sub>

Take'a picture, it'll last longer!

[ichimyatsu]

[WHAT DOES HE EVEN DO WITH THIS. Nyanko absently crawls up the front of his hoodie and settles on his shoulder, and Ichimatsu's hackles raise, his maturity vanishing out the window with the boy in front of him's display. He squares his shoulders.]

I don't need to, we have the same face!!

[glitterkid]

_{[ Karamatsu keeps his distance, looking up at Ichimatsu with his head cocked to a shoulder. He points a finger up at him. ]}

No way, yours is a lot older! 'Cause you're old!
_{[ where is his tact. ]}

I guess that makes me a lot younger than you, huh?

[ichimyatsu]

I'm twenty-three, that's not old.

[He is going to step on this child.]

[glitterkid]

Woah!
_{[ cue the over exaggerated response as he nearly falls over with a gasp! Ichimatsu grew up way before him! ]}

That's not old! That's..








...ancient!

[ichimyatsu]

[Scratch that, he is going to murder this child. He makes a throaty grumbling sound and takes two steps forward, reaching across the hall to hopefully grab him by the back of his giant t-shirt.]

Watch what you fucking say, brat!

[glitterkid]

_{[ Karamatsu was already considering running away, so the second Ichimatsu makes a move he turns around with a shriek and takes off, bare feet pitter-pattering against the concrete walkway of the housing complex. He'll keep running, waving his arms about and shows no sign of stopping just yet. ]}

Don't hurt me, don't hurt me, nii-chan! I'm Osomatsu! I'm not used to being younger than you! You're scary!

[ichimyatsu]

Hah! That's a damn lie, if you're Osomatsu you wouldn't be calling me "nii-chan" even as a kid!

[Karamatsu is pretty lucky Ichimatsu is the slowest of the six of them, because he would very much like to catch this little shit.]

I know I'm scary, it's kind of intentional.

[hellshot]

Lot of irritating shit went down in the last two weeks.

There's a shitload of food I don't need in my cupboard. Come get it.

[And stick around for a chat if you'd like--that part is entirely implied, but he's sure he doesn't have to say that to the catlike sextuplet for him to get it.]

text; un: ny4n

[ichimyatsu]

you can fucking say that again.

what's your room number?

[hellshot]

Don't know if it makes me happy to hear I wasn't the only one suffering.

I'm up on floor 8. It's a fucking shared floor, so just meet me up on the balcony. Don't pay any mind to the others who live here, just ignore them.

[ichimyatsu]

i'd argue you shouldn't enjoy other people's suffering because it's probably rude but that would make me very hypocritical

right below me, easy. be down in a minute.

[hellshot]

Yeah, you're not one to talk.

See you soon.

[He'll be waiting, just as promised.]

_{[ KNOCK KNOCK KNOCKKKK. Wonder who is knocking at Ichimatsu's door? ]}

[ichimyatsu]

[Grumblesssss. He considers just hollering that it's not locked, but having no idea who's on the other side of the door makes him hesitate, so he gets up and shuffles across the room, opening the door just enough to look out into the hallway.]

[His expression sours, and he considers shutting the door in his face.]

What.

[glitterpants]

<sub>[ This is the first time they've seen each other here in Riverview if you don't count the whole 'let's revert Karamatsu to a hell child' and Karamatsu can remember that something like that happened, but all of his actions are a little fuzzy. One thing was certain, though, he knew Ichimatsu was here after the event was over, and bumping into him on the network just confirmed that.

His jaw is firm and his expression seems serious. ]</sub>

We need to talk about things, brother.

[ichimyatsu]

"Things". That's a wildly broad topic.

[He moves away from the door and leaves it open anyway, though, retreating back to where he'd been sitting on the floor beside-- well, he's taken his bed sort of apart so the mattress is on the floor, and he's sitting behind the foot of the frame, Nyanko curled neatly into a sleeping ball beside him on the mattress.]

[glitterpants]

_{[ Karamatsu asserts himself inside, not making direct eye contact at Ichimatsu as he slips his shoes off and instantly falls back against the door after he shuts it.
How was he supposed to tell Ichimatsu everything he needed to say? He'll start with the easy thing, first: ]}

... I did not partake in the anonymous drug that was offered, by the way. That is one thing I must say.
_{[ a brief pause. ]}

I declined it for you, brother.
_{[ wow, mister high and mighty here. This is the shitty part of Shittymatsu. ]}

[ichimyatsu]

[If this was the easy thing, Karamatsu, you might not get the chance to say the hard one. Initially, Ichimatsu just rolls his eyes, wondering if he's supposed to congratulate his brother for not doing something he told him not to do at least four times, and then he goes on to say he did it for him. He grits his teeth, locking his jaw tightly for a long minute with his eyes closed. Nyanko rouses slowly and scoots closer to him, butting his head under one of Ichimatsu's hands.]

[How dare he, honestly. Ichimatsu had no delusions of grandeur to think he deserved Karamatsu's attention, especially not with how awful he'd treated him for so long. He knew that, he was aware. He was surprisingly self-aware, and it was why he hated when anyone ever expected anything of him. But how fucking dare Karamatsu-- come to his space, and act like he was owed something for having not done what Ichimatsu had tried to tell him wasn't a good idea. Did he want praise for it? For the fact that he'd listened? For his sake? Nyanko absently licks his wrist.]

[It's another few seconds before he opens his eyes and looks across the room at Karamatsu.]

Is that all? [Oh.]

[glitterpants]

<sub>[ He feels as if he's done something great, because for as much as he knows in his little pea-sized brain, whatever that guy was offering it sounded like it could fix whatever kind of problems he was having. Receiving positive attention, being liked, affirmation & praise, maybe even find romance and fame-- all very important things on his list of things to do in life that he just wasn't succeeding in.
Ultimately, he wanted to better himself-- to be a better person so maybe he could even genuinely appreciate himself instead of just fooling everyone.

Ichimatsu's lackluster response is something he expected going into this, so that's one reason it annoys him even further. His teeth grit together after a moment, his arms crossing flat over his chest. ]</sub>

Do you not understand? I rejected possible rewards so I could.. stay out of trouble and be here with you.
There is nobody else.

_{[ He doesn't mean this in such a wrong way. There is nobody else.. meaning that he possibly would have done whatever he wanted if there was, but since there isn't, he's having to behave. But no, he's just reaffirming that they both need each other since the rest of their family is gone. ]}

[ichimyatsu]

[He gives him a surprisingly level stare for a long time, but eventually has to close his eyes to keep from snarling. He recoils from Nyanko and shifts to stand, leaning against the corner of the empty bed frame.]

...I understand just fine. You want me to reward you for not making a stupid decision, when as I was trying to stop you from making it you got mad like I was wrong. You want me to congratulate you for a job well done, to thank you, Karamatsu, for having half a brain cell. You want me to feel special when "there is nobody else". [His voice is thin, but betrays nearly no emotion. He's nearly clinical as he speaks.]

[He glances down at one hand to inspect his fingernails idly. He gives Karamatsu a chance to rebuke his words before he straight up tells him to get the fuck out of his room.]

[glitterpants]

_{[ After all of that and Ichimatsu has said what he needs to say, Karamatsu drops his head, one of his legs beginning to bounce restlessly. It hurts, but it's typical talk coming from Ichimatsu, so he expected it. ]}

... there is nobody else I feel like I can rely on.
_{[ Sure, he's made friends here, but after everything that happened in Eluvio, it just revealed to Karamatsu that Ichimatsu does and can care about him. He kind of already knew that in the back of his head anyway. ]}

I want to move in here with you. It isn't normal for us to be separated.
_{[ He takes in a breath and holds it for a moment before slowly exhaling. ]}

I need to be a better brother before I can be a better person.

[ichimyatsu]

[He just closes his eyes, shaking his head slowly and shrugging, never looking back up to him.]

Do what you want.

[A beat, and he looks over at Karamatsu's feet, his expression at a dull scowl.]

But if I'm just a badge for you to wear so you can say you're a good brother, don't waste your time or mine. I can't make choices for you, if Eluvio and this drug bullshit is anything to go by. You don't have to associate with me here, so for all I care, go get yourself twisted up in some sordid drug fiasco. Maybe it'll be a wet dream for you-- an adventure.

[He's so mad.]
