DUKTIG 24 Piece Set | Haruka + Melvin | Furniture Car

Melvin Greene

Yeah, this sure was a time. And a place, even. Real exciting thought processes all around today.

Melvin had managed to avoid getting too bored thus far - frustrated, maybe, having probably already tried and given up on a bit of basic furniture assembly, but a step up from bored. None of the displays were really that interesting on their own, but it was stuff to look at. And be reminded that the show floor was still nicer than his apartment. And remember that it’s not like he was gonna get outta here anyways, so forget the apartment, or at least that’s what he’d try to think.

Oh thank god, a person. One who seemed okay so far, not that he’d really spoken to her directly thus far. Haruka seemed… nice, really the only word he could come up with. Which was kind of a filler word for ‘person who hasn’t pissed you off yet’ but y’know. The important part was that She Wasn’t The Worst.

“Hey. You find anything in here that makes sense yet?”

great start.

Haruka Yukimura

Haruka couldn’t say she disliked this place at all, for all that it was unfamiliar. Perhaps the fire earlier had been… a bit concerning, and her normally fluffy hair did seem a little matted and damp, but in the larger scale of things, not so bad really, was it? There were comfortable places to sit and rest here. Not that she could rest much, when thinking about the welfare of the others…

She noticed Melvin in the corner of her eye, and since she’d not talked to him much yet, she made her way over to him. Thankfully, he spoke first, so she didn’t have to worry that she was going to spook him or anything.

“Hehe… Well, it depends what you mean. These chairs are ones you can sit on, and not big fluffy creatures, so that makes a bit of sense. But I can’t rule out that one might be one of these sharks in disguise.”

Come to think of it, she’d never seen a real shark. These ones were much nicer than the stories she’d heard though.

Melvin Greene

Going to elect to say Melvin managed to dodge the sprinklers, if only because I think it’s way funnier that way. No shower for him. Big fluffy creatures… yeah, there sure was one of those.

“What’s with that fluffy thing, anyways?” Not even he can be completely irritated with The Creature, mostly just confused. I refuse to let him be annoyed about the creature. Draw the lines in the sand somewhere.

“Not secret sharks or anything. I mean, like, the…” what’s the word “geology?” Close enough! “I’m not great with directions,” which is why it’s really good for his job security that GPS exists, “but even I’m pretty sure this place doesn’t work right.” Actually, technically, it works exactly by its own rules. Skill issue, just intuitively understand the non-euclidean IKEA better next time.

Haruka Yukimura

“I’m not quite sure, but it’s cute, isn’t it? Come to think of it, I still have to see if I can pass on those treats to it… Ah well, not right now, that’ll be for later.”

She still had to see if she could figure out a way for R.N.A. to be in the vicinity when that happened. Let them see the creature…

“Geology…” Haruka tried to think of what Melvin meant, and whether he’d appreciate being corrected. “Geography, did you mean? Or ‘layout’ would probably be fine, haha.”

“Anyway… hm, you do have a point. Big indoors places like this are easier for me to get lost in than the outdoors, but everywhere here seems to have that strange quality. No matter which way you go, you always end up at the same place.” That could be kind of deep, but she wasn’t thinking about it like that.
