Hello, Wikus here.

Before any of my roommates or co-workers wonder why I've disappeared, I'll be staying in hospital for a bit but I'll be back soon hopefully.

So don't go sell any of my stuff, hey?

Thanks,
Wikus

Are you alright, Wikus-san?
Is it about the transformation still going? [ what else to call it? Metamorphosis perhaps? ]

Perma-text

[onthehalfshell]

Yeah nothing to worry about. Just under observation on account of my organs transforming.

[anthropophagite]

Do you need anything while you are at the hospital?

[onthehalfshell]

I'd say some company maybe, but I'm not the best conversationalist at the moment.

[anthropophagite]

I can drop by anyway. Maybe bring you a book or two from the library?

[onthehalfshell]

Yeah that would be great. Be nice to see a familiar face that isn't medical staff.

[anthropophagite]

What kind of books do you like the most?

And do you need any food?

[onthehalfshell]

Spy stuff, I guess. Action thrillers. Like Tom Clancy. No sci Fi please.

I'm fine for food. The hospital stuff actually isnt horrible.

[anthropophagite]

Every book in this place e will feel a bit like science-fiction, though, since the technology and even the species are always so different. But I will try to find something that fits.

Alright. I could bring you coffee, if you want. I'm good at that.

[onthehalfshell]

As long as it's not the focus, man. Alien stories kind of lose their appeal when you live through one.

[He's always been more of a tea drinker but... His sense of taste is all twisted up, so why not try it? Kaneki seems to like being helpful.]

Yeah sure man. Show me what you got.

[anthropophagite]

yes, I think you are right. I'll see what I can find.

And I'll bring you coffee. Any preference for what kind of coffee?

[onthehalfshell]

Nah man. I'll trust your judgement. Oh, no milk though. Alien stomach can handle it.

[anthropophagite]

Sure. What about sugar?

[onthehalfshell]

Yeah, sugar's fine.

[anthropophagite]

Alright, I'll be there in a bit.

[onthehalfshell]

Thanks man, you're a great guy.

[anthropophagite]

No need to thank me. I'll be there in a moment.

[onthehalfshell]

((OOC: Did you wanna continue this in a thread or just have the visit off-screen?))

[anthropophagite]

((ooc: since they are already threading in kaneki's log, which happens after this one, we can hand-wave this one if that's alright c: ))

[ he's not your roommate, nor does he actually intend to do it, but...he's still going to find out what'll happen ]


Not like you can do anything about it if we sell something of yours.

Perma-text

[onthehalfshell]

I can call the police.

Who are you anyway?

[The username doesn't give him information, but he's pretty sure he knows all his roommates' handles by now.

Of course the turnover on floor 8 is frequent enough that he wouldn't be surprised to get out of the hospital to find an unfamiliar face living with them.]

[sixtyeighth]

[ He laughs from where he is. Good thing he's on text. He's smirking because, well, he's taken part in the murder of so many police and civilians at home - it doesn't even sound like a threat. ]

Terrifying! Police - oh no!

[onthehalfshell]

You want to get personal with the Fuzz that's your prerogative. But I haven't got anything worth stealing anyway.

[Though he might still ask Their to look after his meagre belongingd]

[sixtyeighth]

Guess I'll have to decide that on my own.

[ His goal: get this guy worked up. He doesn't care about whatever Wikus owns. ]

[onthehalfshell]

Whatever you delinquent​

[sixtyeighth]

Are you trying to hurt me with your words?

[onthehalfshell]

I'm saying you sound like a teenager and I have better things to do than argue with children

[sixtyeighth]

Presumptuous, aren't you?

[onthehalfshell]

If you're an adult then this is just embarrassing.

[sixtyeighth]

Can't say either way.

[onthehalfshell]

Whatever man.

[bunnyblock]

If its terminal you should write a will.

un: RuffRabbit

[onthehalfshell]

It's not terminal! I said I'll be back.

[bunnyblock]

Yeah but people say that all the time.

You know.

Might clear up, might take you with it.

Best to cover all bases.

[onthehalfshell]

You don't have to be so morbid man.

I'll not dying, i'm just transforming.

[bunnyblock]

'Morbid' and 'Realistic' are interchangeable in this case.

Transforming?

Are you an alien?

[onthehalfshell]

I'm not supposed to be.

[bunnyblock]

Sounds like something out of a horror movie.

Scary.

[onthehalfshell]

More like bloody annoying.

[Sure he'd been terrified at first, but after two months it's hard to stay scared of turning into an alien.]

[bunnyblock]

If it's going slowly, I guess it would be annoying.

[onthehalfshell]

I certainly don't recommend the experience

[bunnyblock]

Lucky for me, I'm already a monster.

[onthehalfshell]

[Wikus is suddenly very glad this conversation is by text and not voice.]

Okay. Good luck with that.
