Video | un: czerny
[When the video started, the camera was facing the wrong way.]
Oh! Oops.
[Noah was quick to realize it, at least, poking the screen until the camera changed to display his face. He was alive again but he was still pale, like he hadn't spent a day in the sun. Actually, he probably hadn't since arriving and finding himself in a living body. At least, not long enough to develop any sort of tan.]
Hey! Um.
[It was a little late to realize he wasn't entirely sure he knew what he wanted to say. He knew, but he didn't know. There was an important difference.]
Okay, so like- I think I'm starting to get the hang of things around here. The whole 'we take what we need and we don't have to pay for it' thing.
[It still felt a little like shoplifting...]
But- so, the apartment I picked doesn't have a bed. Is it a faux pas or whatever to just...take a bed from one of the others that no one's using? All the ones I looked at with a bed felt creepy...
[Don't ask him where he'd been sleeping. Actually, don't ask him if he'd been sleeping at all.]
I'd need some help, too, if kidnapping a bed isn't like- dishonor on your family, you know?
Also, this is probably a long shot, but does this place have a gelato parlor?

no subject
[And if they could figure out what was happening, maybe they could figure out how to get the people who wanted to go home back to their, well, homes.]
Or even just like, to want to feel safer here.
no subject
.... don't you? [ some people are dead back home, Kaneki has heard. In fact, Ken himself doesn't know if he is alive back home or not, so he gets it. ]
no subject
[Noah knew he had important things to do before he faded away, back home. He had to make sure everything worked out like it was supposed to. But he also knew that would be the end of him after that. He wasn't sure if that, specifically, bothered him or if it was the fact he had to struggle with decaying first.]
I don't know. My friends need me, but I...I didn't have a lot of time left.
no subject
[ kaneki lowers his head a littl ]
Some people don't want to go back. I don't think we can blame anyone for that.
no subject
[It wasn't, but it also wasn't Kaneki's fault. Noah'd had a long time to come to terms with his death and yet the idea of decaying and fading entirely was still frightening. Without the decay, he would have been content to exist and tag along on his friend's adventures and journeys through life.]
Yeah. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to go back if like, being here is better for them. No one deserves to suffer.
Sorry it has been so long, December was a Month. Feel free to ignore if it has been too long <3
I hope this place is better, for most. I hope people can find peace here. [ peace isn't permanent. But he hopes at some point this place feels more like "home" to some ]
