[He looks annoyed about the elevator, but it is what it is. People are confused and they're all stuck and he's sharing a room with two kids younger than him.

Speaking of.]

You mean the fact only one of us can bake? Yeah, that might be a problem. [No, it's back to shitty jokes. Help.]

[applechemist]

[ Escha laughs to be polite... ]

... I don't mind sleeping on the couch, if the two of you would like to share the bed. [ Because they're both guys, so that makes the most sense to her? ] I nap on the couch in my atelier all the time, so I'm used to it.

Don't tell Logy I said that.

[unpredicktable]

[ dick does not laugh to be polite. he shrugs a bit ]

Sorry, I think I'm a little too old-fashioned to let a lady take the couch. [ it's said lightly, because it's more of a tease, though he's. serious because dick, you dumb bitch. anyway for a real explanation: ] I don't exactly sleep that much at night. Or, uh, in general. It's part of the job.

[ part of the job if you are a bat with a side gig but sh ]

[crashout]

We're not letting you take the couch. [Yeah uh. No? He sounds a little exasperated that this was even suggested. He nods in Dick's direction.] It's the same for me. So...the bed's yours. Dick can take the couch whenever he wants and I'll figure something else out.

[applechemist]

[ She frowns. ]

It's bad for your health to not get enough sleep, you know. Besides, I'll feel guilty hogging the whole big bed all by myself.

[unpredicktable]

It's not, but I'm trained for it.

[ is. is that a normal thing to admit. anyway he's the one frowning at junpei but like. mask. does it even show beyond squinty eyelids. ]

If neither of us need that much sleep and we don't keep the same sleep schedule, we could always share the couch.

[ the. the same goes for the bed but they're both being macho men about this and ignoring escha ig ]

[crashout]

It's part of the job. [Is he. Borrowing Dick's excuse? Yeah.] Is it really hogging it if we're giving it to you?

[But. He looks at the couch that he's sitting on and kind of just goes "hm."] Sharing the couch is fine, too. Like rotating shifts?

[applechemist]

You're both being ridiculous. Why should you share that little couch between you when there's a huge bed, right there?

[unpredicktable]

The job?

[ dick questioning other people on using his own excuse sure is a choice. anyway THIS ISN'T ABOUT LOGIC!! wow escha ]

Shifts work. [ he. hesitates because how to explain being a stupid guy ] It's-- you should get the bed. It'd be rude not to let you have it.

[ this is not a valid explanation ]

[crashout]

[A pointed look.] If you don't know my job by now, you're not doing so great at yours. [It's kind of teasing but also. Dick. Think about it.]

...Escha. Can I ask what your relationship is with Logy?

[Dick: tries not to be a stupid guy
Junpei: is a stupid guy.]

[applechemist]

[ To Dick, brightly: ]

Junpei is a detective.

[ ... Thanks Escha. Anyway, she seems totally fine with the question. ]

Hm? We're coworkers.

[unpredicktable]

[ dryly; ]

Yeah, I got that.

[ but normal detectives sleep!!!!!! junpei!!!!!

also escha might be fine with the question but dick's throwing junpei a "oh my god, bro" look ]

[crashout]

[:) Here's to never disclosing what his deal is!! Maybe later, this is more important. He's pointedly ignoring the look Dick is giving him and appropriately looks a little flustered by Escha's answer. That's not what he was expecting.]

Oh. Well...it's not really...the thing is...[...no it's Dick's turn, fuck this, you started this.]

[applechemist]

...?

[ what does logy have to do with anything ]

[unpredicktable]

[ he had nothing to do with this? you dug your own grave junpei you can stay in it yourself ]

Yeah, Junpei, what was with that question?

[ also dick is like, 90% troll ]

[crashout]

[He wants new roommates.]

Just. Take the bed. [No he admits defeat, he's still kind of a dweeb at heart.]

[applechemist]

[ She puts her hands on her hips, internally debating whether or not to argue, here. But after a moment... ]

No. I wouldn't even sleep well, knowing that the two of you are all cramped and crowded over there.

[unpredicktable]

We're not gonna be crowded, it's not like we'd use it at the same time. JT doesn't strike me as the big cuddling type, anyway.

[ dick has decided to just ruin junpei's life now it's fine ]

[crashout]

[He raises an eyebrow but he doesn't address that because haha. He'll just let them wonder about that. That'll surely fix things.]

[applechemist]

[ It is time for Escha's secret weapon...

Looking sad... ]

It still doesn't seem fair.

[unpredicktable]

[ escha is powerful but dick can!!! resist!! ]

Let's... call it a temporary arrangement. If either of us ever actually need the bed-- for, back pain or muscle cramps or whatever-- we'll tell you and we can switch out. That work?

[crashout]

[He's just here finishing his tart like a good person.]

Wouldn't that just cramp her up with one of us on the couch then? [You know. The thing they were trying to avoid to make sure she was comfortable and all that? This is a bad time to point out logic.] Sleeping on the floor isn't the worst thing. And there's always the bathtub.

[applechemist]

It would be silly though.

It should be two in the bed and one on the couch. Maybe we could just do a rotation...?

[unpredicktable]

No one's sharing the couch, that's not what I was saying!

[ WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTAND ABOUT SHIFTS ]

[crashout]

[You know what? He's going to get up and actually go check out the bathtub for the purpose of this conversation. He comes back after a few minutes (and ignore the squeaking of his sneakers on the tile of the tub in the meantime) and he sits on the arm of the couch again.]

The bed is Escha's unless a trade is necessary. We can agree on that. [...ugh. He doesn't want to ask. He really, really, doesn't, but...] Is it really going to bother you that much if it's just you?
