[Hey, Watanuki, were you enjoying some peace and quiet in the privacy of your own room??
Because there are windows in the room! And people passing by those windows! Case in point: there's currently a big pink gremlin passing by, and a-knocking, knocking on your chamber window. He's bouncing a little in place and seems quite excited? Perhaps you should let him in?
Or you could wait and see what he does next, but that might be hazardous.]

[Anon's all pressed up against the glass already, spectating the flurry of activity with some amusement, but he obligingly jumps back a step when Watanuki shoves the window open, because the window is swift and Watanuki is loud! He scares off a few nearby seagulls or whatever.
Anon himself just gives a pleasant little wave.]
Visiting! It's way easier to tell who's home from out here.
Besides, it's a beautiful day. Are you gonna stay cooped up the whole time?

[There's absolutely nothing wrong here?? He doesn't see why Watanuki keeps freaking out??]
But I'm not a normal person, and this isn't a normal mansion, and that's not a normal door!
[So in that sense, being at the window is just average...? That seems to be his reasoning. Somehow. He props his chin on the open window and grins cheekily.]
You're just trying to get rid of me, aren't you?

Ah, that's good to know. So if you aren't telling me anything, then I can stay right here.
[Watanuki are you sure you want to give this permission!!
Anyway, now that you've prompted him, he's going to start shimmying his way up and attempting to scrunch through the window. He's a fairly large teenager but also surprisingly flexible and limber...?]
And I'm going to try real hard. Help me?

[He lets out a peal of laughter once he's sufficiently squashed against the windowframe, shifts and wiggles and... just sort of ends up popping out in the right direction. There he goes -- there they go -- it's time to be a big heap on Watanuki's floor!
He's still grinning despite having knocked all his elbows on the window (or Watanuki?).]
Thanks for having me!
[He calls this out perfectly politely as though he really did walk through the door.]

[At least Watanuki will probably be in good company!
Anon, meanwhile, has made himself comfortable on the floor for now and is getting a bug's-eye view of his new surroundings. He seems to get ever bolder in the face of exasperation.....]
It's probably hard to make a home in somebody else's house in a couple of days.
But I think the goats tried pretty hard! I even have a full closet.

I was traveling before the Foundation, and the Foundation just kept giving me orange jumpsuits...
[There's a faint frown about this, because apparently everything else aside orange jumpsuits are somehow offensive to his sensibilities.]
This is the first time in a while I've had real clothes.
[His definition of real clothes is debatable but it's fine.]

[He blinks at him a few times as though trying to process what he's offering, before breaking out in a grin.]
Ahaha! It's okay, I think Yuuko's actually providing a whole lot of clothes here, unless she's having you make those too.
But what kind of clothes can you make?
[You've piqued his curiosity!]

[You've piqued his curiosity!]
Eh? Do you think she's watching us all the time while we're in the house? Like with magic or something?
[He doesn't seem particularly fazed by this. Is he ever fazed by anything. Eh.]
That's pretty cool, though -- it really is hard to come by good clothes. I just end up destroying anything lower quality sooner or later...

[Let's make it today since Watanuki decided to conk out quite handily yesterday and also yesterday was a lot!! Anon's coming in from his more-or-less traditional morning exercises, sword in hand -- he's still kind of damp, but not dripping (otherwise Vinea might spontaneously materialize out of sheer indignation), and windswept as he wanders into the library.
Vinea might still start manifesting in the library because he has a big-ass sword in there now, but too bad. At least he's entering through the door this time, and patiently props his sword by the door before hitting the stacks.
Or rather, he starts to head over and then spots somebody he knows.]
Watanuki! You're awake!
[I have on idea how long he was out for but apparently everyone's just starting to get used to him going down for the count.]

[Returning the confused look with his usual grin and plopping down across from him with a book he just swiped from a nearby shelf. This one appears to be something about... it's definitely about ghosts! All kinds of ghost stories.
It's debatable whether it's research or whether Watanuki just reminded him the mansion is probably haunted.]
I meant yesterday! You sure like to spend a lot of time sleeping on the floor.
[Apparently that's what they're calling it now.]
