SHIRO CATCHALL

(I never have memes on hand just pretend there's a good one about middle aged men complaining about being old)

[hdu take the window-bed! This is a transgression Shiro can't forgive!

Ok no he's fine with having the other bed, at least there's two beds in here to begin with. Shiro looks about as thrilled as Raven is to have a dude for a roommate too.]

Right back at you, buddy.

[laid]

[Well... at least it's a kindred spirit. It could be worse.]

Right, you get it! Normally it'd never happen, but I was lookin' at the names on the rooms and there's definitely a bunch of 'em that are co'ed! What gives!?
[Maybe it's precisely because you two are like this that you were put in here.]

[lionson]

Eeeh, they're all too young for me. But you're still young, so it'd be better for you.

Then again, maybe that's why they put us in the same room: so that you don't make any moves.

[He's been put in a difficult position because he can't protest that he's clearly terribly old and not young at all when this guy is obviously still older than he is.]

Then I feel like I oughta be insulted, it's not like I'd make a move if the lady wasn't interested!
[He's a horrible flirt but he still understands boundaries???]

[lionson]

You might know that, but social stigma, that kind of thing. Though I guess there's nothing stopping you from getting to know those ladies and bringing them to bed.

...ah. Just leave a sock on the door or something.

[Shiro out here respecting people's privacy.]

[laid]

[Raven snorts.]

I wouldn't worry too much about that.
[He has no game and the likelihood of that happening is slim. In any case. He already knows this guys name from the nameplate, but it's still nice to have a proper introduction, he thinks, so he sits up finally and holds out his hand.]

Name's Raven.

[lionson]

[That's probably for the best, Shiro wouldn't actually want to give up personal space.

He smiles and takes that hand, giving it a firm shake.]

Shiro Fujimoto.

[laid]

Good ta meet ya, Shiro.
[Genuinely, it's nice to have someone who he doesn't immediately feel like he has to keep an eye on.]

Seems like we're gonna have our work cut out fer us with the number of kids in this group.

[lionson]

Probably. But you never know, they might surprise us. And they're at least old enough to be given directions and trusted to follow them.

...most of them.

[There are some little bitties here too.]

[laid]

You expect a bunch of teenagers ta follow instructions?

[He trusts the younger ones more than the older ones.]

[lionson]

It's a matter of wording the instructions in a way that they'll understand and follow, most of the time.

Teens, they're like mini-adults with poor impulse control. Talk to 'em like they're adults while subtly guiding them towards better choices, and they'll listen to you.

[laid]

[.... Huh.]

Sounds like you've had a lotta experience handling teenagers.
