This Town is Only Gonna Get Worse | Ito | Closed for Lyric + Cyril

[schrodingerstwins]

"N-no problem…It’s really good to see you, it b-been a w-while since we’ve spoken. Are you h-holding up okay? I mean it was your c-cellmate…" Lyric looks at Mitsuo with concern, closing the door behind him. He’s about to ask if he wants to sit in the bottom bunk, but realizes that’s a horrible idea, considering that bunk was Niwa’s (And Cyril’s kind of claimed it) and then gestures at the top bunk. "If y-you wanna sit and t-talk we can do that…"

He looks sadly at the bottom bunk and nods. “Yeah…He was really kind. A little odd, f-for sure, but he had good intentions…H-he’s gonna be missed for sure…”

It’s at this point that Cyril is going to actually speak, he’s crawled out from the lower bunk and is standing, without a book in hand, staring at Mitsuo. Looking nearly as ragged as his brother he shuffles a bit closer.

 ”Th…Thanks…For coming to visit…Things are weird, the probability of our cellmates dying consecutively is…Absurd. I…Appreciate your company. Loneliness is…Weird. We are never apart…But now that is it just me and my brother here…It almost feels like…” He trails off, and then after a moment clears his throat. “Nevermind. But…How…How are you?” Wow, Cyril’s actually being civil for once.

"Ah yeah, sorry about that… I meant to drop by sooner, but after… well, I haven’t been feeling too great." Mitsuo admits with a bit of a sigh. "I think I’m doing better now though!" Well, sort of. He’s definitely spent far too much time holed up in his cell though, that’s no good. It’s way past time he got out and talked to people again. "We can sit or stand or whatever you wanna do." He adds, keeping up the smile as Cyril joins them.

"Yeah you’re right, it’s a pretty weird coincidence… but that’s all it is." Mitsuo feels a fresh stab of concern looking at the disheveled twins. They looked even more tired than he felt. "Don’t worry, I know what you mean. But you’re not alone, you guys are my friends so I’m totally here for you." For the space of a second Mitsuo hesitates over an impulse to hug the twins, but then figures what the hell these two look like they need it. Quick but gentle, he wraps an arm around either boy and gives them a little squeeze. "I’m really glad you guys are ok."

[schrodingerstwins]

"T-that's not surprising...I m-mean it was your c-cellmate and all...I d-don't blame you for hiding out for a while." Lyric smiles a little when Mitsuo says he's doing better, relieved. He's pretty found of Mitsuo and he'd been a little worried about him during and after the trial. "I'm g-glad to hear you're doing better though."

"Coincidences are scientifically impossible...There's always a cause and an effect but...Neither of us, did anything to have our cellmates killed. So, I'm really not...Sure whats going on here anymore.  I....Friends?" He stops his train of thought entirely, looking a little surprised. Friends huh, yeah that was right, Lyric had made friends with this guy during the previous murder incident...But, he'd never agreed to that...It couldn't be that bad though. He clears his throat, blushing slightly."That's right. We...We are friends...And I, and my brother both are very very happy t-to have a friend like you in this place."

"I a-agree with Cyril! You're a dear friend and I'm glad...It'd be really hard...If, if it was just us right now. We're not sure how to d-deal with these kinds of things so..." Lyric's entirely surprised when Cyril goes on about friendship, he was never one for unscientific things but, it made him smile a little that his brother was softening up finally.

When Mituso hugs the both of them, the twins don't react for a second, a little surprised, but then both wrap their arms around Mitsuo.

This Town is Only Gonna Get Worse | Ito | Closed for Lyric + Cyril

[schrodingerstwins]

Lyric is sitting on the top bunk, staring blankly at the opposite wall, trying not to think about the fact the kid who slept in the bunk underneath is dead, while Cyril is reading in his bunk as per usual. When they hear the knock on the bars at first neither of them move. But eventually Lyric climbs down from the upper bunk and goes and opens the door, looking a bit ragged from everything that’s happened recently, he’s not even wearing his glasses.

"Oh…H-hey…Mitsuo-kun…Uh…You can come in if you’d like?" He shoots a glance back at his brother who merely shrugs. For once he’s not being a pain in the ass about people visiting the cell. Lyric tries to force a small smile.

"Cyril says its fine. Y-you can definitely come in."

[shsldubstep-blog]

Poor guy, he looks even rougher than Mitsuo had expected. Still adorable though. Hoping to bring the mood up a little, Mitsuo pastes an answering smile on over his worried expression.

"Thanks guys." He steps into the cell, and very carefully avoids looking at the bunk that must have been Niwa’s. Or, he’s assuming it was. Do the dead kids have their things removed? He hadn’t really gotten a look at his own cell yet since the trial, so he doesn’t know if Hibiki’s stuff is still there. It’s probably not important anyway. "Hey I’m… sorry about Niwa-kun. I only talked to him once but, he was a nice dude. Made me lunch. Kept calling me ‘sir’… it was actually kind of awkward, but I know he meant well… uh, how are you two holding up?"

[schrodingerstwins]

"N-no problem...It's really good to see you, it b-been a w-while since we've spoken. Are you h-holding up okay? I mean it was your c-cellmate..." Lyric looks at Mitsuo with concern, closing the door behind him.

This Town is Only Gonna Get Worse | Ito | Closed for Lyric + Cyril

It’s only been an hour or so since the trial ended when Mitsuo shows up outside Cell 101. Everything about the last few days has kind of blurred together, he knows it’s been a while since he talked to the twins but he’d become fond of them almost immediately. Now their cellmate is dead, killed by his cellmate oddly enough, and… well, this is the second time someone they’ve been rooming with has died. He’s worried, and so he’s checking on them.

"Hey, Lyric-kun? Cyril-kun?" He raps on the bars of the cell door lightly as he calls in to them, squinting in the dim lighting. Are the twins even in right now?

"Sorry if I’m bothering you or something, I get it if you wanna be alone. Just thought I’d like, drop by and… I don’t know. See if you wanted to talk maybe."

[schrodingerstwins]

My, Won't This Be Crowded [Niwa]

Slowly the twins awoke, almost in unison, though Cyril was the first to open his eyes and look up at the ceiling. A very unfamiliar ceiling. Slightly puzzles he sat up, and shook Lyric slightly. When the second of the Tylcern twins was sitting up as well, they both looked around the room more. Nothing at all was familiar in the slightest, which was strange. That last thing either of them could remember was walking into Hope’s peak. How odd. As they examined the room a little better, they instantly pegged it for some sort of cell.  There wasn’t much else it could be, as dreary as it was. Cyril stood up and finally noticed the oddest thing of all. They weren’t alone

Laying not to far from the two of them was another person, unconscious still. With curious expressions the boys crouched near the body and shook it lightly.

"Hello? Can you hear us? Are you alive or are you dead?"

"Right now I believe our unconscious friend is both." 

"Schrodinger’s cell mate? Really Lyric"

"Yes, Really Cyril, I mean we don’t know for sure, so they might be either and therefor both"

"I suppose you have a point…"

“I always do Cyril.”

While this whole exchange was going on the Twins were shaking and prodding at their unconscious cellmate, It would have been simple to take a pulse, but neither of them had much interest in first aid.

[shslservingboy]

Niwa, the unconscious body in question, was currently having the most delightful dream. About… Something delightful, use your imagination here! After he’s been (rudely) shaken awake, however, those fanciful bits of sleep evaporated like a puddle on a sunny day. Too bad! 

He jerked upright almost immediately, an astonished expression marked by his huge eyes and slightly agape mouth— oh no, had he been sleeping on the job?! How terrible!!! He had never, ever slept on the job before, not even when he was super-duper-extraordinarily exhausted! He leapt to his feet (hopefully not barreling over any unsuspecting twins and whirled around, looking at the room with that same astonished expression.

Oh no! Not only had he fallen asleep on the job, but THE ENTIRE HOUSE HAS BECOME DIRTY AS SHIT WHILE HE WAS OUT. How long had he been hibernating, anyway?! This was just ridiculous. He didn’t even recognize the place! It really needed some dusting….

Oh, great, and now he was forgetting his manners, too!! Auuugh!!! Shape up or ship out, Niwa! Patting at his clothes self-consciously, trying to brush off any dust or other unsightly impurities, he turned to face the two twins. Whoa!! Holy jack-in-a-box he had no idea who these people are either. He bowed deeply— so deep, you might expect him to crash his forehead on the floor— stammering out an apology.

"Sorry!! So sorry, sirs, I was… I don’t know what came over me! Such slovenly conduct is not acceptable!!! I will take any reprimanding that you see fit without complaint!"

[schrodingerstwins]

The twins jump back a little when the previously thought to be both dead and alive body proves that it's simply alive by hopping to it's feet. It's at this point the boys register that, their mysterious body is yet another boy! This registers a split second before they're barrelled over by the other cellbound boy, Cyril crashing into Lyric and the two of them almost falling to the floor, barely managing to keep their balance by holding onto each other

While the other boy is looking around the room in what appears to be a state of panic, the twins were standing back up and adjusting glasses and labcoats. It wouldn't pay to look a mess, first impressions were very important to the two of them. Cyril, the slightly more social of the two, was about to ask if their cellmate was alright when he whirled around and bowed low to them.

"I...no, that won't be nessecary. I mean" "We mean that, we don't think it's your fault at all" "Quite right, how in the world could you be responsible for something like this" "Indeed, now could we" "Have your name perhaps?" "I mean if it's not too much trouble" "We could even introduce ourselves first if that would make things better!"

Lyric was attempting a friendly smile but only managed to look kind of awkward, he wasn't sure what to do when speaking to...well anyone other than Cyril really. With a hesitant step forward he offers his hand out to the other boy, Cyril mimicking his movement exactly. And with this gesture they introduce themselves in unison.

"Cyril and Lyric Tylcern, we are physicists. It's a pleasure to meet you..."
