Second Floor Common Room, Wednesday Evening

[napking]

Gray had made it this far on his way back to his room after today's shenanigans, but then he hadn't quite made it to the couch. Instead, he'd fallen asleep sitting on the floor and leaning against one end of said couch, and when he woke up he didn't bother getting up from the floor, in part because the floor was fine, the floor was comfortable enough, and in part his phone was blowing up with a family squabble that turned out to be Alastair refusing to wear the shirt Castor had bought him for Echo Bay's Pride parade, the one day of the year they could reliably get Al to wear a t-shirt in public, because this year Castor had pushed the envelope and bought him *gasp* a tank top.

Gray jumped right into the fray with, But your arms will look so great in it! which was both blatant pandering to Al's Pride and, you know, true, and Alastair responded almost immediately with, I am not wearing underwear in public, which set off a wave of razzing him about whether he knew what decade it was that then developed into Bellamy spamming the chat with pictures of people rocking underwear at Pride, at which point Gray closed the chat and left his brothers to it, and started considering his options for food delivery.

"Ooh, sushi sounds good," he said aloud.

((Open common room is open!))

Funnily enough, Five's family group chat was on the same level of annoying. He did not need a play by play on the television show that Klaus was watching nor the confused questions about it from Luther.

"Are you ordering for everyone?" Five demanded, teleporting right past him to look in the fridge.

[napking]

Gray was briefly filled with an almost primal fear at that question, before he remembered that Raiden wasn't here to order most of the menu. "I...can be," he said. "Might as well save the delivery guy some effort." Sloth, ladies and gentlemen. "What do you want?"

[apocalypsehow]

"Anything I don't have to cook," Five replied, shutting the fridge door with a thud. Because his cooking experience was mostly over a post-apocalyptic campfire.

[napking]

"Okay, so you're getting what I want," Gray decided, switching the count on each item he'd selected to 2. "Unless you're like allergic to fish." In which case you were screwed, Five. Sorry.

[apocalypsehow]

"I wouldn't want sushi if that was the case," Five replied, going to flop over on the couch and turn on the television to... not not find the insipid television show that Klaus was obsessed with.

[napking]

"Well," Gray countered, "you might not know what sushi is."

[apocalypsehow]

"More reason to buy extra and encourage them to try the wasabi." Why are you like this, Five? Why?

[napking]

"The ginger is also good for a laugh," Gray said, because he had a mean streak.

[apocalypsehow]

Five shot him an impressed look and nodded at that. "So, if anyone shows up and hasn't tried it before..."

[napking]

"But then I would have to give them some of my sushi," Gray protested. "That's my sushi." Five should understand, he had a lot of siblings. Granted, none of them were the avatar of Gluttony, but still.

[apocalypsehow]

"So maybe the bad sushi." Because he was that sibling.

[napking]

Gray pondered this for a moment. "I hope none of it is bad." Should he maybe order extra? He should order extra.

"What are you looking for on the TV?"

[apocalypsehow]

The suggestion to order more got a very Reginald 'very good' sniff as he focused on the TV.

"Some show my bother Klaus won't shut up about. He was stuck in the past for barely any time at all and suddenly he's desperate for modern television."

[napking]

Gray hit 'confirm' on his sushi order and told Five, "He should watch meta for Jujutsu Kaisen, it's great!"

Gray. Not everyone likes anime.

[apocalypsehow]

"And what is that?" Five asked with all the enthusiasm he had. Which was none.

[napking]

Gray lit up like a hundred watt bulb. "Oh, it's this really cool show about--"

Okay, so the player didn't actually watch the show and after that point all Five probably heard was blah blah blah anyway, but if anyone was wondering.

[apocalypsehow]

"Okay, okay---I don't actually care."

He was being vaguely polite for the sake of free food.

[napking]

"Wow, rude," Gray said, completely unruffled. He had six big brothers, some of them often extremely cranky. He didn't faze easily. "It's on Crunchyroll, let me find it..."

[apocalypsehow]

And Five had the social skills of a robot.

Five sighed like the lord was testing him as he looked up at the ceiling. If that food didn't come quickly, so help him...
