CRYPTON Vocaloid Apartments

[[I suppose we should skip to the next day now... is that okay with all of you? By the way, Happy (belated) Birthday, DREWdesu. :D By the way, I will now be bringing something overly-dramatic in here, so...]]

Gakupo stared at his ceiling as the morning light flooded into his room, covering with his hand, a bandage wrapped around his head that covered his right eye. "Last night... after I visited with Al, Zuko, Luka, and Meiko..."

He began going through the actions of last night.

________________________________________

He had left the apartments after talking to some of the other Vocaloids, and when he went through the lobby, he noticed a girl of mostly pink waiting at the reception desk. She is probably the new android here... He had thought to himself.

He advanced to outside of the apartments and looked to a hotel across from where he was standing. In that particular hotel was another android named *Kagamine Rena, who he had wanted to check on to make sure everything was okay with her, since the occupation she had was very unsafe. He visited her often, being concerned for her.

He reached the hotel room she was currently in, stopped at the door before opening to hear another man's voice, and he knew what that meant, so he stepped away from the door so the volume of the voice softened. He would decide to wait until the man stepped out.

However, he suddenly overheard his own name.

"...Kamui Gakupo, eh? And why was he coming here to see you?" A husky voice said on the other side of the door.

"...he... was just... visiting..." A panicked, high-pitched voice said. Gakupo instantly recognized it as Rena's voice.

Suddenly the door flew open, and Gakupo felt his heart skip a few beats. The man that stepped out turn to face him, and gave him a horrifying glare, his eyes flaring with murderous intent. "You." He started. "Join us." The man growled, and he grabbed hold of the front of Gakupo's kimono and pulled him into the hotel room.

Gakupo made an attempt to push him away, but failed. The man responded to the try at defense by pulling out a pocket knife and thrusting it into Gakupo's right eye. He did not scream, but made a slight noise of agony. Rena, who was covering herself with a blanket behind them, shouted in terror.

"Wow, look at you. You're a tough one, aren't you?" The man chuckled and pulled out the knife rather quickly. Gakupo fell to the floor, and the man made his next move. "Well, like I said, why don't you join Rena and I?" he then--

________________________________________

Gakupo snapped out of his thought. What happened after that was too unbearable to even think of. He sat up and then got to his feet, making the decision to go to visit Kaito. Opening the door to his apartment and closing it behind him, he made his way to Kaito's room and knocked twice lightly on the wooden door.

[[*Kagamine Rena = A fan-made Vocaloid of mine. More information on her, if you're interested.]

Zuko woke up a little grumpy as usual, she looked at her fridge and found the newest supply of vanilla pudding. However she didn't feel hungry, she felt a little worried. He hadn't met Gakupo since the conversation with Luka, Big Al, Gakupo and herself yesterday so she decided to make it a rule to go to his apartment.
Zuko changed into a black shirt and tracksuit pants, tied her hair into one ponytail and walked to Gakupo's room. When she went to his door she knocked on the door "Gaku-kun, it's me Zuko... can I come in?"

( Sorry I didn't respond, kinda had drama at my house)

Big Al:

Al rinsed the rest of the shampoo from his brown hair while looking at the drain still thinking about yesterday." Finding ways to destroy myself." Al said to himself in English as he remembered what Zuko had said before leaving to her room. He turned off the water and grabbed one of the red towels he had unpacked yesterday and began to dry off. When he finished he looked at his own reflection in the mirror. The scars that his designers had given him during his redesign made Al never enjoy looking into mirrors. " Just being alive is a blessing though, why would she want to end it?" Al said while he opened the door to his room. As he pushed open the door the steam from the bathroom ran out into his room making his skin goose bump from the change in temperature. He quickly grabbed his boxer and a pair of black pants and the black skull T-shirt from yesterday. Al also grabbed the black trench coat and placed that on as well to hide the remaining scars on his arms that the T-shirt didn't hide. He grabbed his brush and combed back his hair making sure to let the white parts spike up. Al went back into his bathroom and looked into the mirror at his out fit." I look like one of those metal punk singers." he said with a little chuckle. He then went back into his room and grabbed his leather boots. As he put them on he noticed he had a pair of black fingerless knuckles gloves on his dresser that had metal spikes on top." Might as well." Al said as he grabbed them and put them one.

When Al was finally finished he opened his door and started down the long hallway that was so busy yesterday. He continued to think about everything that happened yesterday. After getting a tour of the house from Luka he pretty much went back to his room and had gone to bed feeling the effects of jet lag. Al then remembered he had never got to answer Gakupo question from yesterday." I'd better answer him so that he doesn't think I was blowing him off." Al thought as he stretched his hands over his head then headed towards Gakupo's room. When he got there he noticed Zuko standing in front of his door. " Oh-Hi-Yo* Zuko-san. Are you here to see Gakupo as well?" Al said with a warm smile." I also have to thank him for the lesson on honorifics." Al thought to himself as he continued to smile.

Coco Macne:

Coco sat at her make-up counter brushing her long pink hair while humming a small song. She put down her brush and grabbed her hot pink nail polish and began to paint the tips of each of her nails in a french style manicure. After a few minutes she put the bottle down and blew gently on her nails while looking at them with a smile." My the french are so clever when it comes to fashion!!♥" Coco said like a child in a candy store. She grabbed her apple hair clip and but it in to prop her hair up." There all done." She said as she got up from her counter and walked over to her closet and grab a black Komon* and a metallic Obi* she put them on as she always did making sure that her white under shirt didn't show off to much. She then took her arm stockings and put them on careful to not rip the ribbons. Finally, She grabbed her custom made boots and put them on and turned on the lights so that the bottoms lit up red like a digital mouse.

She began to walk towards the door of her room when she tripped and fell to the ground." Owchie! My that could of been worse, maybe I did add to many cherry blossoms in my room." She said as she got up and looked back at her room. The walls were completely colored light pink with dozens of medium cherry blossom trees covering the area; the biggest one acting like a canopy to her bed. She then shrugged her shoulders at her idea and went over to the door and opened it and left her room.

She skipped down the hall until she finally slowed down and entered the lounge. No one was around making the furniture seem large an empty." My my, it's so quiet here in the mornings." Coco said to herself as she looked around." Oh! I know just the thing to get people moving. Nothing says a happy morning like a big breakfast for everyone." She said as she snapped her fingers. She went into the kitchen near the lounge and pulled out a few pans and turned on the stove. She opened up the fridge and grabbed some eggs and cracked each one into the pan and began." This should also help me get to know the others better, since they were helping that tall foreigner yesterday." She thought to herself as she added spices to the eggs and a little water. Finally she grabbed a few things of fruit and began to chop them until she had made a fruit salad." My I feel just like a house wife from those old romance movies." She thought while her face turned a small shade of pink.

[Al is again speaking broken japanese. what he meant to say was O haya-yō which translates to good morning]
[Komon: A casual Kimono Obi: A sash that you wear around a Kimono]

*deleted double post my bad*

"Ah Hai." she answered with confused tone. She didn't realise that she was speaking Japanese "Naze, Gakupo ni au tsumori da?"* she asked as she brushed her fingers through her hair. She walked up in a seductive fashion to Al "Wan chu entaa togeza?" she asked in English with a wink

*Why do you intend to visit Gakupo?
*Want to Enter Together? (its meant to have the double meaning haha)

[[added another post in the right one]]

[[Well, I suppose since Kaito's roleplayer isn't here right now, and Gakupo has two people outside his door, I should put him in his room instead. XD Scratch that last part in my post that said he knocked on Kaito's door.]]

Kamui Gakupo:

Gakupo heard Zuko's feminine voice outside his door, and then Al's masculine tone. He dreaded what they would think seeing the thin white bandages over his eye. He shut the book he had been reading, the sound of both halves snapping together echoing through his room.

"Yes, the two of you may come in." Gakupo faced the door, kneeling on his *futon and grabbing a brush that was placed on a low table near him. He began running the old-style brush through his extensive length of hair which reached his ankles when he stood. He had already brushed his hair, just after showering that morning, but he had a strange habit of brushing it now and then throughout the day, or running it through his fingers.

[[*Futon = The Japanese form of a bed. It's kind of like a thin mattress that's placed on the floor.]]

Big Al:

Al face went a shade of pink when Zuko walked up to him seductively and asked if he wanted to enter with her." Ah.." was the only thing he was able to get out until he heard Gakupo voice from behind the door. Al quickly grabbed the door and opened it. " A-After you Zuko-san." Al said while opening the door for her. As they both entered the room Al slowly looked around. There were tatami* mats all over the the room covering the wooden floor. There was also a set of samurai swords and armor. Al couldn't help but get curious about all the things. "Wow...Gakupo are all these things real?" Al asked while looking at the armor intensely." I've never seen real Japanese armor before...then again I have never seen real European armor either." Al thought to himself as he moved his attention to the swords. They glistened in the light showing back Al's reflection in the steel. Al wanted to touch them but forced himself to not by looking back and refocusing on Gakupo.

"Anyways I wanted to stop by to answer your question from yesterday. After all the tour that Luka went for so long that I didn't have time to tell you about my scar. It was placed there by my creators when decide to make me. The said it looked "masculine" to have scars." Al said while shurgging his shoulders. " Though in all honesty I think it just makes me look like Frankenstein." Al said with a chuckle. As Al finished talking he noticed something white underneath the Gakupo purple hair. Al couldn't help but get Curious again as he lend in and brushed some of the purple hair out of Gakupo face. when he saw it was a bandage Al was a little taken back. " Gakupo....did you get into a fight or something?" Al said with a stern tone in his voice as his Topaz eyes became serious.

Coco Macne:

Coco Continued to daydream while she put the eggs onto a plate along with the fruit salad. " Oh sweet husband of mind do you really have to go to war? Yes my darling. Then let me come with you! I can't because it would be- LOOK OUT IN COMING MISSILE!!" Coco daydreamed to herself. "AAHHH!!" She yelped out until she realized she was in the kitchen still finishing up cooking. " O-oh me oh my that was truly a scary day dream." she said aloud as she looked around noticing no one was still there. "Hhhmmm...I know instead of me waiting I'll go deliver my breakfast to the others." She said with a smile. She grabbed two plates of the hot eggs and began to walk down the hallway. when she came across the first room she heard people inside. " Sounds like there having an important discussion." Coco thought to herself as she moved to the next room. She finally heard a thud at room 106 and a young girls voice moaning out of hunger. Coco smiled and knocked on the door. " Excuse me, Would you like some breakfast? I have made some eggs and fresh fruit." She said in a sweet voice waiting for the person inside to respond.

[[Coco amuses me so far. XD]]

Kamui Gakupo:

Gakupo continued to run the brush through his hair, keeping his eyes closed with a relaxed expression. "Yes, all of these items are from the Meiji period, ranging from year 1868 to 1912." He opened his eyes slowly, exhaling softly, and he placed the brush back on the table beside him.

"That scar... I suppose it does make you seem, shall I say... durable, not in the sense of it being a negative thing. I wonder, if I am the only one here who was not... er... 'designed'. I once existed as a human, but I was rebuilt as an android." His eyes glided in Al's direction as a piece of hair was brushed out of his face. "Yes, well... last night, you see..."

Gakupo stopped for a moment, pondering whether he should speak up about the happenings of the previous night. "I was visiting with a friend of mine, Kagamine Rena. I wanted to see how she was doing, since her occupation that is other than singing as a Vocaloid is rather dangerous, in a sense. She is a prostitute, you could say. She is currently renting a hotel room across from the apartments. When I arrived there, however, was a very bad time, for there was already another man there with her, so I waited down the hall for him to leave." Gakupo paused for a few seconds. "He knew I was there, so he went over to me, and he asked me to follow him into the room. When I said no, he... stabbed me in the eye." Gakupo adjusted the bandage.

"I suppose then, since I did not have a strong reaction, as I am very stoic to pain, he wanted to test how pain-tolerant I really was, so he..." Gakupo paused again, averting his eyes to the ground, remembering the vile and disgusting act that occurred after that. "...I cannot explain in words, so I hope for you to understand this. He did the same thing to me that he did to Rena." Gakupo shivered.

[[I hope that wasn't too, er, extreme for you guys...]]

Big Al:

Al was able to put two and two together when Gakupo mentioned he was forced to do the same thing as Rena." Gakupo-san, I agree with Zuko-san. Just because you are part android doesn't mean you aren't human. No one desires that, you should of brought someone with you." Al said as he fits clenched together making the leather from his gloves squeak under the pressure. His teeth were slightly barred showing the large canines that his creators had placed in. After a minute though Al relaxed, easing the tension on his gloves." I think it might be best if you rested today." Al said as he began to make his way to the door. Before exiting though he looked back with a warm but concerned smile. His Topaz eye showing saddens that he couldn't help his new friend." Please do not be afraid to ask me for help." Al said in English as he left Gakupo's room and began to walk down the hall and out of the Vocaloid apartments.

Coco Macne:

Coco simple stood there as the door opened and a teal haired girl came. She had on a tank top and shorts. Though her hair was long it was frizzed from the summer heat even though it was still early. When asked who she was Coco smiled. " my name is Coco Macne. I'm the newest resident I'm from the Macloid family. ♥" She said with a wink." Anyway I could hear you stomach growling from all the way in the kitchen so I thought you might want some food." She gently gave one of the plates of eggs to the girl. " How about we eat in your room? That way you can get dressed. Oh and maybe I can help you with your hair." She said with a excitement.

"I'll be going too, just take some rest..." Zuko suggested "If you need anything just call my number." Zuko said. She bowed and walked out of the room, she noticed someone in front of Miku's door "HEY YOU!!WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" she shouted as she charged up to Coco, oblivous to the fact that she is a new android she stopped at around a few feet away from Miku's door hoping she wouldn't meet Miku.

((yay active again :D))

Aido:
Aido walked into the reception of the Crypton Apartments, the lady at the reception was still typing away the serial keys of the Vocaloids and UTAUs that were made in Japan. "Excuse me." Aido said in Japanese
"Yes, how can I help you" the Receptionist replied
"I am the new UTAU from America" Aido replied
"Is that so... what's your serial number? I need to register you in."
"It's my birthdate" he replied "my name is Aido Feirune"
"Ok, done and done! You have been registered, You're room is room 110 so please make yourself at home"
"Thank you so much" Aido bowed, recieved the keys and walked to the Apartment.

( sorry for not posting sooner was in the hospital for a broken arm)

Coco Macne:

Coco began to enter the teal haired girls room when she heard someone yell at her. She looked over and saw another girl with black hair stomping up to her. She looked exactly like the teal haired girl but with a different color scheme. " Ara ara, you two look just alike. Like Ying and Yang. Are your names like that as well?" Coco said with a smile. She then grabbed the black haired girl and dragged her into the teal haired girls room. " The more company for food the better. Don't you agree?" Coco said with a smile to the two girls. Coco then handed the black haired girl the other plate of eggs. She smiled as she walked into the bathroom and grabbed a brush and came back and knelled down. She began to gently brushes the teal hair girls hair making the morning knots undo themselves. She then looked around and found some ribbon and began to tie the girls hair into long strains. Finally after a few minutes she was finished. The girls long teal hair was pushed into a pony tail with a giant bow on the end while her bangs were twisted with small ribbons Coco had found before. " There, don't you look pretty." Coco said as she clapped her hands together and smiled." How about we do your hair next"Coco said as she looked over to the girl with black hair.

Big Al: Al continued down the halls of the apartment still thinking about what Gackupo had said completely oblivious of his surroundings until finally Al smacked into someone. Al simple stopped like a wall but looked down at the person. "Oh, sorry about that." AL said in English as he looked down at the person he had hit. It was a young boy with blackish blue hair and a vocaloid design out. Al extended one of his hands out towards the boy. " Do you need help up?"

[Woah... are you okay? o_o]

Shion Taito:

"Ah!" Everything in his sight went straight to blur and he felt a large impact to the center of his body as the boy looked up to see a man, about a foot and a half taller than him. He blushed at his own amplified reaction, hoping that no one near by would have heard him and thought differently of what might be happening. He blushed even harder when he noticed the man was lending a hand to help him up. Hesitantly, he took the large, strong hand before him, placing his long, delicate, porcelain fingers into the palm, his hand like a white petal floating onto a rock.

He had furrowed his eyebrows, trying to imagine what the man had said in a language he wasn't used to. "A-ari--..." He stopped himself. "*S-sanuku yuu!" He blurted suddenly with a heavy amount of nervousness in his voice.

He had taken English classes, but he was never very good at them, and he was always distracted by the ever-burning aches and pains littering his fragile body. Although the boy was a teenager, his weakness made him appear younger to others, and the part that made him seem the youngest and frailest was the permanent, terrified look in his eyes like a ghost had forever locked itself in the path of his sight.

[[*Sanuku yuu - This would be a sort of pathetic "engrish" way of pronouncing "thank you".]]

I posted in the forum why I crossed out all of this... = =

[Ouch, I broke my arm once. It hurt so badly Dx ]

"Hm?"
Kaito looked up from whatever he was doing.
"Yeah, I'm here. You can come in if you want."

*Dang, short post *emo*

(yes I'm fine It just hurts like no tomorrow to type with my right hand since I refused the pain pills they offered so I have to type with my left)

Coco Macne:

Coco watched as Miku left the room leaving her and Zuko alone." My my she sure was the shy one." She said with a giggle as she looked back over to Zuko. The girl with the black hair was glaring back at her. However Coco couldn't help but smile." You remind me of my own twin Coco Black." She said as she pulled out her wallet from her komon top part and took out a picture. She looked down at the picture smiling and remembering how the to of them would always fight as kids. she then handed the picture to the girl." By the way I'm Coco white, but you can call me Coco Macne." She said as she smiled and her daydreams of the past flooded her brain.

Big Al:
" UTAU? I've never heard of that before. My name is Big Al and I'm from PowerFx Vocaloid in Sweden." Al said in English to the boy with a slightly confused look on his face. Al noticed the boys face turning red as he stood there. " What's the matter? Are you not..um...feeling well? Al asked as he pushed the hair on the boys head up and knelled down and put his own head up against the boys. His stitches bumping up against the boys smooth head. " Hmmmm well it does feel like you have a bit of one, It must be from the Jet lag. I know I went right to sleep after getting off the plane and coming here." Al said as he straightened himself back up so that he towered over the boy again. If you want I can show you to your room. Al said with a smile that partially showed his large canines as he pointed back towards the rooms with his thumb.

[ Al is speaking all English here when ever Al speaks in English the text is bold and italicized ]

Zuko:

Zuko resumed from her frozen position. She crossed her arms not looking pleased at all she recieved the photo looking at the siblings "I see... I'm Zuko..." she introduced herself coldly "Next time... ask before draggin people into other people's rooms. I'm not Miku's twin" she threw the photo to her front and walked away from the room. She wonders if Kaito would have any new stocks of ice-cream for today.


Aido:

"UTAUs are similar to your kind but we are a more populated androids compared to your kind. You guys are more popular though..." he let a smiled "Oh and I'm fine, I know where my room is. Okay lets see ... 108....109...110." He said whilst counting the rooms behind Al "Nice meeting you by the way. I'll see you later" he bowed and rushed to his room. He opened the door, behind it was a room already set for him. It was a room for an average American teen: A bed, computer, television, video console, wardrobe, decorations, photos, magazines "They sure know my- OH MY GOODNESS! A LADY GAGA POSTER" he shouted with glee as he rushed over seeing a poster of Lady Gaga in her Just Dance attire.

note: Aido is speaking in English, even though he speaks both languages fluently he prefers to speak English to himself.

*sorry, I may not be on all much today T_T*

Shion Kaito:

Kaito sat down his book and turned his music down a bit lower.
"No, sadly. I don't know where they are. I miss those troublemakers, though!"
Kaito always does. He felt very close to the twins.
"Ah well. You can hang here or whatever. Maybe we can go see a movie later, Miku?
I heard there is a good mystery/horror film out, or we can just see whatever you want too."
He turned towards Miku, waiting for a reply.

Shion Taito:

Walking along slowly, his right arm limp at his side and his other arm pulling along a small black suitcase, Taito made his way to the reception desk, where a woman was waiting there smiling at him, but with deep concern in her eyes.

"Ah, you must be Shion Taito! Your older brother, Shion Kaito is already here. Do you need help with your bag?" She looked down at the suspicious looking, boxy, roll-along suitcase, curious about what he might be carrying that probably wasn't just clothes and shampoo, but she ignored her suspicions.

Taito slowly lifted his eyes up to the level of hers, needing to lift his head up slightly. "...yes... thank you..." He said, almost whispering. He, without further delay, simply released the handle of the suitcase from his grip, the suitcase toppling over and hitting the tug under him with a slight tapping sound. The woman at the reception desk probably thought he couldn't hold onto it anymore. She had noticed his arm shaking as he held it before.

Another woman appeared with the command of the reception woman, and she lifted the handle of Taito's bag, pulling it along at the same turtle speed that Taito walked, noticing the bag was barely heavy at all. She found it odd that Taito had been through carrying it, unless he had been holding it for days.

Taito reached his room, room 111, and the other woman had left. He stared at the three golden lines, perfectly identical and adeptly aligned with one another against the wood of the door. He let out a deep, sorrowful sigh, and he placed his hand on the cold doorknob and let himself in, not bothering to close the door behind him.

He, with much effort, lifted the suitcase onto the bed. Unzipping it, he removed a long piece of metal, an ordinary kitchen knife. Running the tips of his fingers along the sharp edge, he closed his eyes, hearing the sound of the knife slowly rusting and wasting away, echoing in the back of his mind. He decided to feed the knife, give it something to live for in its last days, dragging its edges and angles against his skin, first lightly, but with gradually increasing pressure. He let out a sort of passionate gasp that filled his new room of pitch black and depressing purple. Sitting on the end of his bed, facing opposite of the door, he continued to let himself bleed.

Kamui Gakupo:

Today... what it was that I was required to remember... Gakupo thought, making attempts to remember the events that were to occur this very day. New residents, yes.

As he remembered, after Macne Coco was to arrive, Feirune Aido, Shion Taito, and Miriam were to be appearing in the apartments as well. He had never heard of any of them besides Taito, who he had heard of from Kaito. However, he quickly recognized that Coco was a female Macloid UTAU, and that Miriam (whom he pondered to be female) was an English Vocaloid by their names. Aido was the only one he knew nothing about, and he could not even guess the gender of this new resident, or whether they were to be an UTAU or a Vocaloid.

Perhaps I should try to meet them. He thought as he got to his feet, however, being an introvert and entirely inhibited, he thought twice. Or I shall wait for them to meet me.

*I'm actually adding on to a post from earlier*

Shion Kaito:

As Kaito Spoke to Miku about possible plans for further in the day, he remembered a short message that was sent to him a few days ago from that nice lady at the reception desk;
"Your little brother, Taito, is arriving to the vocaloid apartment on the day of X/X. Please help us make him feel safe and welcome in his new home. Thank you."
Taito, his fragile and dare he say it, "odd" Little brother was arriving today. He pulled out his cell phone and sent Taito a quick text;
"Hey, Taito! You are finally here, eh? Awesome. I can't wait to see you. Perhaps we can get together later? Miku and I might see a movie tonight and you are welcome to come. Maybe you need help getting settled in? Just text me or give me a ring, K? C U.
~Kaito Nii-san ;)"

He sent the message and put his phone in his coat pocket and turned towards Miku.

Shion Taito:

"E-eh!?" Through the dark clouds in his mind, Taito heard his cell phone ring from the space in between his pants and his boxers. Out of his surprise, he accidentally cut too deep in his skin, and he hit one of his artificial android veins. Blood began to cascade down his arm in thick, crimson rivers. "Oh man, oh man..." Rather than startling himself at the sight of too much blood or the fact that he had just injured himself badly, he reacted as if he had simply knocked over an expensive lamp. In a panic, he ran to his bathroom and extracted a black towel that had been placed in a cupboard next to the shower for him, and he wrapped the towel tightly around his bleeding arm.

Sighing deeply after securing the towel on with duct tape, he reached to where his phone was tucked, pulling it out and reading the message. "Nii-san." He read the last part aloud, with a bit of dream in his voice.

He began to reply...

"Hi, Kaito-san. I don't really like going to movies, sorry. ;_;

Maybe I can see you another time? o///o

-T@!t0"

After he had already hit "send", he recalled another reason why so many people avoided him. For a 17-year-old boy, he used way too much emoticons in his messages, and that tended to scare the type of high school girl who obsesses about texting, like Akita Neru, who he thought of as a *tsundere. Taito, being as pathetic as he was, was easily frightened by girls of this type.

[*Tsundere - A type of girl or woman that could be kind and sweet one moment, and incredibly harsh and nasty the next.]

Shion Kaito:

Kaito felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.
He pulled it out and was happy to see that Taito replied to it so quickly. He read the message, then quickly made a pouting face. But he knew Taito would have most likely rejected the offer to go out, but he was just glad to let Taito know that he was invited. He relaxed and sent a reply;
"Aw, okay. But I miss you, *otouto-san. Come see me anytime. Love you! Stay out of trouble! D<
~Kaito Nii-san <3"
After hitting send he realized how lame and girly the message was. He sighed and slipped the phone back into his pocket.

*Otouto - Little brother*

Shion Taito:

Taito looked down at Kaito's reply, being unsure whether to regret his choice of staying home, or being glad that he would have his first afternoon in a new place to himself. Looking around his room, he noticed a bowl of fruit had been placed on a kitchen counter for him. Taito rarely ate, but even so, he shrugged to himself and slowly made his way over to the bowl, careful not to trip over his own feet as he often did.

He took a bite out of an apple, at first tasting its sweetness, but then catching a hint of something festered. Pausing for a moment, his face turned slightly paler than usual. He slowly swallowed the part he had bitten out of, and let the rest of the red fruit fall into a trash can before him. Again, he had eaten a rotten fruit. He wondered why he was so unlucky to always eat food that was unnoticeably molded or perished. Whatever he had eaten either looked perfectly ripe and fresh on the outside, but was decaying on the inside, or had the most molecular amount of rancidness that caused it to taste foul.

Kamui Gakupo:

Sitting on a tatami mat placed in the center of his floor, Gakupo began to recite a chant in the most vivid and low-pitched voice to be known from him, about as low as his vocal chords would allow. To him, this sounded beautiful, as it was pertaining to his religion, but to others it may have sounded like some sort of demonic chant, being as low, as bass, and as deep as it was. Whenever he spoke or sang like this, people were surprised, as they had never known Gakupo to have the ability to hit such low notes.

[Sorry... all of that was really random...]

Coco Macne:

Coco watched Zuko while throwing down the picture." Ara ara." was the only thing she said as she got herself up and grabbed the picture and put it back in her wallet and her wallet back in her komon. She stretched her arms up in the air making it so her white arm socks showed off before grabbing the plates and walking back to the kitchen. It was near the late morning now and the remaining dishes she had made had gone cold. She simple grabbed some Tupperware and put the left overs in the kitchen while she hummed. She then grabbed a piece of paper and wrote a note saying anyone could enjoy them as she put the eggs and fruit in the fridge. As she went back towards her room she suddenly heard someone chanting in there room. Curiosty took over as she quietly turned the knob on the door. It was unlocked and Coco snuck into the room. She looked around the room and saw all the acient items she could help but be amazed. " Wow..It's like I've fallen into a fairy tale." She thought as she looked at the man chanting in the middle of the room." Oh mister samurai where is the sunrise? That my dear I can't tell you but don't follow the demons path for a million arrows lay that way. Coco daydreamed as she watched the man watched the purple hair continue to chant.

[Ara ara: Slang for " me of my"]

( Coco be causing drama without even knowing it....and breaking and entering)

Shion Kaito:

Kaito nodded and waved when Miku left the room, surprised to feel his phone vibrate again. Taito again? He reached for his phone. Nope, it was a number his phone did not recognize. He shrugged and opened his phone.
"*Mushi mushi? Kaito here."

[Dang, short post ._.]
*mushi mushi - Hello or who is there/it. what to say when answering the phone*

[Sheep, I like your British slang. XD]

Kamui Gakupo:

Once he had gone entirely through his rich-voiced chant, Gakupo looked up to Coco and, despite the fact that she had just rudely entered his room, he smiled warmly, and his eyes lit up. "Good afternoon, I assume you are Macne Coco, correct?" He took mental note of her unique appearance.

Shion Taito:

Taito drifted back to his bed and, standing a few inches away from his bed, he let himself fall backward onto its thin, black, cotton sheets. His eyes glided over to the door, which still remained open, but he did not care. He thought of how the other residents of the apartments must be out somewhere having fun, besides the lilac-haired man down the hall in room 100 whose seemingly ominous chant was probably overheard by everyone in the hallway, and a pink-haired girl wearing a black kimono who he had noticed half-walking half-skipping down the hall. Though Taito was not fond of being outside or at any sort of outings that were put together as an event that every Vocaloid or UTAU could attend, but even so, he felt somewhere in his artificial heart, a deep feeling of loneliness.

As his eyes were fixed to the ceiling, tears began to form at their corners, dripping along the sides of his face and soaking into his bandages, dampening his hair. He covered his eyes with his hands, his sight blackening, and he let himself sob. Even if Taito was anti-social, even if he was avoided by many, even if he knew people were afraid of him, he yearned for the warmth of others. No one knew, but in his heart, he reached towards others and called out their names, wanting the friendship of another like an abandoned child wants the warmth of a mother. Taito never got attached to people as if they were his friends, but rather, his family. His protectors, his older brothers and sisters, his mothers and his fathers.

Back at the center where all the androids were made, before any of them were sent to CRYPTON to live, Taito was always the Shion sibling that hid in his room, away from the others, excluded from the love and the warmth. He was always the child that never came down to dinner, but came down to get the left-overs, if there ever were any. He was constantly the brother that always stayed home when the others went out.

Even if he was the one who pushed them away, it wasn't his fault. He was told by the scientist who created him that he was a purposeful failure, and from that scientist, he never received any affection. He was rejected from the one who built him, so he rejected himself from everyone else, thinking that that was the way things were supposed to be. Despite this, Taito was always unconsciously mentally holding out his arms for a hug and screaming at everyone for attention. He was always thinking in a hidden part of his brain, "doesn't anyone love me?".

[Aw, man... that last paragraph hit my heart like a giant stone and it made me cry a little, mainly because it reminds me of myself (sorry for getting personal).]
