This place is so stupid.

[As he talks to the journal, he's sketching.



This place is great for his creativity, he's realized... but that's because there's nothing else to do. He hasn't left his apartment in a few days except to steal food from the communal kitchen.

Being forcably dragged back into the mindset of having Kaoru and only Kaoru to rely on... didn't go away easily. He'd missed his brother before, but it's only gotten worse since then.]

The people in charge are idiots. Why would you only kidnap one? It still doesn't make any sense.

[He might not realize that he can be heard right now. He hasn't been exactly careful about where his hand's brushed in the journal.]

We're not supposed to be apart.

A host club? I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with the terminology. What exactly do they do?

[hikaruorkaoru]

We keep people who come to see us company. Usually girls who don't have anything better to do. They sit, chat with us, have some tea and snacks. That kind of thing.

[...Sounds like a watered down version of a regular club she's used to, only in reverse. Well, it's a way to spend the afternoon and it sounds innocent enough.]

Perhaps you could start up something like that here. People are always complaining about how bored they are.

...I wouldn't be very good at it alone.

[Hikaru frowns a bit.]

Our club president... The way he set everything up? We're all archetypes. Appeal to the broadest range of girls that way.

So... just one of us on our own? Doesn't really work, y'know?

You could always try recruiting yourself.

[Peggy picked up her fork, noting the way the light hit the individual tines.]

Until your friends arrive, that is. An interim club, something to do if nothing else.

I'm no good at it alone. Maybe when Kaoru comes, we might do it. It could pass the time, at least.

action

[rightfootforward]

And passing time is really all we have here to do.

Have you been meeting with the other young people your age?
