[Horikawa gets better treatment than Yamato because of course he does...
Meaning Kashuu won't seek him out in a flurry of Really Distressed Emotion, Loud Noises and Panic! Now that he's pretty sure everyone's been returned to where they belong(???) and not slowly asphyxiating anymore, he even takes the time to quickly brush his hair back before zippin on over to Horikawa's apartment to check on him. KNOCK KNOCK--]
Are you back?
[He's already got his CereVice out just in case he needs to text him to find him, though. These dang fast wakis...]
[Privileges of not being the resident toddler it would seem.
But Kashuu's in luck today! Kind of. It doesn't take long for some fumbling to be heard behind the door, being opened quickly, but the wakizashi who does the opening doesn't look quite so energetic or pleased. Actually, he looks exhausted, and like half the contents of someone's breakfast have been haphazardly wiped off the front of his shirt only just before the door opened. In fact that very well may have been Exactly What Happened, but he is here and he is home and he is doing his best today.]
Sorry, Kiyomitsu-kun, I didn't expect you! [If he had, maybe he could have been a bit more presentable than this. Still good to see he's okay, and Horikawa definitely does reflect some sense of that relief behind the apologetic smile he offers up.] When I got up, the... robot had breakfast. It dumped it on me, and now it won't leave me alone. Do you know how to deal with these things?
[Theres a nice smack into the back of the open door as it's bumped into for emphasis. Please impart some of your technological wisdom here, Kiyo.]
But this is probably the least well put-together he's ever seen Horikawa and it's really funky... Who is Horikawa if not impeccably put together at all times despite all odds?? He glances at his poor ruined shirt briefly and gives it the sad eyes of Pity™ because its time is probably over, and then:]
It's fine, it's fine! It was like that for all of us. Like, the one in my room chased Yasusada under the bed and then— [And then Horikawa's smacks into the door and Kashuu jumps a little, startled. Why are the robots like this?? Who did them wrong.]
—Ugh!! They're a major pain. If you eat some of the food they have, they'll go away, but you can probably just shove 'em out a window too. [Here let him invite himself into the apartment so he can try to find said robot. IT'S WINDOW TIME.]
[Apparently Kashuu did them wrong, judging from the advice he's got in mind. With Kashuu being the great Technology Guru so far as Horikawa is concerned, this advice will surely be stored away for future mishaps with the unfamiliar, and for the time being Horikawa will definitely step aside to let Kashuu come on in and do his thing.]
Ehh? Is it normal for things here to be like this? [Because that sounds moderately terrifying?? For Yamato and probably the robot too, if Yamato got tired of it. Unfortunately solution one is off the table, because it's pretty clear what happened to that meal.] Well, I don't think I can really eat its food anymore, so... [OUT THE WINDOW IT WILL GO!
Though, it doesn't seem happy at the sight of Kashuu. About as unhappy as the robot can look anyway, because before Horikawa can make to grab the little menace it immediately turns and zips in the other direction. It can be seen disappearing back into Horikawa's room and, if left unattended for longer than a moment, its followed by the telltale sound of ripping fabric.]
[His advice is sound advice!! When you can't deal with robots in a civil manner, clearly the only option is to get violent. It's a lot like dealing with other swords...! And sometimes people! See, he's got this.]
Kinda? The technology here gets really weird sometimes. [A moment of silence for the microwave that exploded, which Kashuu and Mutsu took the blame for... He'll never forgive.] But it's usually pretty harmless, and even when it's not, it's easy enough to deal with.
[He's moving toward the robot while he's talking, but clearly he doesn't expect it to flee like a convict... Because THERE IT GOES, and Kashuu stands still in surprise for a second before the sound of SOMETHING RIPPING gets him booking it after the damn thing.] Hey, hey, hey—!! Stop-- whatever it is you're doing! [UGH ROBOT time to die so Horikawa's fabric things can rest in peace.]
Mm... I just need to get used to it then, huh? [WELL its nice to know that Sound Advisor Kashuu is so reassuring? Horikawa can adjust to modern city life one busted robot at a time, and gives a sigh of relief with these words. At least, until he realizes that it's too late to stop the damn thing from inflicting more Terror on the apartment. A moment frozen to listen, and then:] Ahh ー No!! Why!?
[WHY HIM!!! With that, he's not wasting any time in zipping around the corner to follow. They're cops so obviously when the criminal is on the loose, it's their job to catch up, right? This one's not so hard to find if they round the corner, and it definitely explains the sound of the ripped fabric, because it is sitting next to the window with a torn down curtain draped over it. It must be hiding, since it stays perfectly still even when they come in, but in a convenient place nonetheless. Horikawa will take this chance as he approaches it with his hands out and ready to grab it before it makes for another run.]
Here, Kiyomitsu-kun, you said to push it out the window right? Come help me!
[Machinery is heavy? Justice for the fabric things!!]
[It's harder to get used to than Kashuu is making it sound. HE'S BAD AT THIS... Leading everyone astray!!
But yes good, time to be cops, chasing down the bad guys just like old times except the criminal on the loose now is a robot instead of a radical AND IT'S KIND OF AN ENDEARING ROBOT, AT THAT. And a little dumb, considering it heard "let's throw it out the window" and immediately ran... over to a window. WELL. It sure tried, at least... And Kashuu feels a little badly for it, sitting there under the ruined curtain like it really thinks it can't be seen.]
Eh... [The sound of True Hesitance. (Let it be noted that Kashuu wouldn't be hesitating at all if his curtains were the ones that were torn, or if he was the one currently covered in gross breakfast.)]
It'll probably be okay if we push it from this high up, I think. [But he looks to Horikawa after that with an expression that says "right??", like he expects him to be more well-versed in what does or doesn't kill robots for some reason...?!]
[Well it's gotta count for something that they trust him so much? He can know that these bad life choices are the result of just having that much faith in him in the end, and isn't that great? Good attention, good attention! At least until Kashuu decides to spread the dreaded disease of Hesitation, since it definitely looks like he's looking for some reaffirmation in Horikawa there, and that causes him to falter a bit in turn. He's following the instructions here! Toss uncooperative technology out the window and your problem is solved, right? That's how it works here, right?]
Huh? Um, well ー [Thanks for that faith, Kashuu? If they're speaking in expressions, Horikawa's says something like, "and you expect me to know???" But it's fine. It's fine? Given enough time to look like a deer in the headlights, he nods Firmly. This thing's tough looking and it's made out of metal just like them so obviously it'll be juuuuust fine. Just don't think too hard on that.] I'm sure it's okay! It's by the window after all.
[And it wouldn't have come over if that was so bad? It wants to be Free, maybe, and the robot shifts a little when its mentioned. The little robot arms that dumped breakfast on its poor victim earlier scrunch up the cloth, raising it up like a tent. Very effective hiding skills being used here today.]
[DON'T EXPECT KASHUU TO HAVE THE ANSWERS he never does and he never will...
But apparently that reassurance is enough for Kashuu to banish his own hesitation demons! Wow. This is why big decisions should never be left up to him.]
O-kay, gimme a second to get the window. [AND OVER HE TROTS, carefully sidestepping around the robot menace to lift the glass up. He glances over to the sheet lump a few times, checking to make sure he's opened it wide enough, and steps back once he's sure that the robot won't end up decapitated on the top window ledge or something.]
[Ok now listen here Kashuu has plenty of answers they might not be the best answers to follow but they are there?
Anyway, it's not like this will do them much harm. This robot looks pretty sturdy, and they can't get in any trouble for sending it on its way like this. It's still fine, so once Kashuu's finished his task of trotting over and checking the window for safety hazards, Horikawa offers up a nod of his own.]
Yep, I'm ready! [Already he's hesitantly gotten his hands ready to pick up the little menace by the bottom, hoping to flip it up with a good luck wish on its landing.] On the count of three?
[ARE THEY REALLY, THOUGH, or is he just pulling things out of a hat and saying them with confidence so people think he has answers!!
Either way, Kashuu moves over toward the other side of the robot, prepared to help wrangle it before it can run away and tear down more curtains or perhaps roost in Horikawa's closet.]
On the count of three! One... two-- three!
[LET'S GO, LET'S GO. Kashuu reaches forward as soon as he says "three", attempting to both block any potential escape routes and nab its wee little robot arms.]
[Either way, Horikawa trusts the Gumi who's been here longer than him, and either way plan Dump This Poor Robot Out A Window is a go. No time for regrets when the count of three comes down and their success is... debatable?
No, okay, they're mostly fine! It's a success in terms of keeping Little Menace mostly contained, and also, lifting him up to the window to push him out. About the only room for debate that's up there is the shifting of the curtains, where in its last stand attempt at a break, it tries to use the little arms Kashuu's trying to restrain to throw the curtain right overtop of his head. Some bedhead is predicted, but otherwise he is unscathed, a good fight! As for Horikawa, sparing his glance back to the other once the robot is (mostly) out the window, what Kashuu probably catches is the amusement in his voice.]
Kiyomitsu-kun?
i cant believe im seeing this accusation in my own home
[WOW, THIS ROBOT TRULY IS A LITTLE MENACE. Kashuu feels regret for being so lenient?? He makes a sputtering noise and lets go of its arms to bat the fabric out of his face, so hopefully Horikawa has a good grasp on it, because Kashuu sure just abandoned him...]
Ugh!! [Just ugh. The universal sound of "I'm tired".] What's it's problem?!
[Outside of the incoming potential robot murder and all... WHATEVER. Bye, Little Menace!! Kashuu will help to vigorously shove him out if Horikawa's still managed to keep him wrangled.]
