I do feel joy. It's a joy that comes from deep within. It's not based on external factors like money, reputation, status, or reward. It stems from connecting with people possessing a similar purpose, giving a helping hand to those in need, then working together to right wrongs. It is a joy that comes from within, innate to mankind. [affiliated with toshicity]

Wish granted // Keisuke + Rui

Keisuke was walking home, no big deal. There was nothing to it. Walking home. Just… Walking home.

It was all rather boring. The same thing over and over again. He couldn’t help but shake his head at the thought. Go to school, go to work, go home, watch TV. He hardly had anyone to follow around at the very least. No one to protect, or stand up for. Not that he wanted a bully around, he enjoys the peace, but unfortunately- all he wants is a friend he can spend his time with. Without much trouble, or a hassle. Someone who has time for him.

He misses his sister.. At least- if she was here then maybe he wouldn’t feel as lonely as he did now. 

But what point was there in dwelling? There was none. If he wanted a friend he’d have to go out and make some, right? But- Keisuke was never all that good at making friends. The only reason he made any, was out of defense. Defending those that needed to be defended. After all, that’s how he met Atsuro. 

His thought process trails off. He was forgetting something- something important. Oh! His book. He forgot the novel that he had borrowed from the library. He spins around simply to turn back- but instead he smacks into someone along the way.

Graceful.

〈What a busy week... Rui had been out almost all day, and going back to his apartment and sleeping for a bit sounded really nice right now. However, it was quite a long walk and he did not want to bother with public transportation at the moment, so the boy was walking quite fast, barely paying attention to his surroundings.〉

〈Ever since the recent activity happening around Toshi City, he had been busier than ever, dealing with attending classes and schoolwork, and now, the Defense Force. He had been practically used to a work load due to managing GALAX when he was residing in Tachikawa, but that still was not nearly as much as he was working with now. However, Rui was diligent and hard-working as ever, so it wasn't too difficult to get through all of his daily tasks and still being able to get a good nights sleep.〉

〈Rui had been not too far away from a brunette and had been walking behind him, but when the boy was about to pass the other, Keisuke turned quickly before he could react, the two smacked into each other. The prodigy quickly glanced over to the other that he just bumped into, carefully adjusting his glasses, which had fallen down his face slightly. "...My apologies." Rui gave a short nod, hoping the other was fine.〉

Gatchaman Crowds G Members swimsuit & male characters sleep/underwear info

Taken from the “Tell me, Mr. Kudo!” section of the Gatchaman Crowds Animation Note:

Q: Please tell us what are the G Members’ best swimsuits!

A:

Hajime: A colourful and cute swimsuit with frills.

Sugane: The school designated racing swimsuit.

Joe: Surfer pants.

Utsutsu: The bikini she normally wears.

O.D: High leg boomerang swimsuit.

Rui: Pleated bikini.

Paiman: Can’t swim and thus has no swimsuit.

————————————-

Q: Please tell us what the male characters’ nightwear and underwear are!

A: I’ve received confirmation from Director Nakamura.

Sugane: Nightwear is a t-shirt and sport short pants, underwear is low-rise sports briefs.

Joe: Has no nightwear so he either sleeps as he is or in the nude, underwear is branded high class low-rise briefs.

Rui: Nightwear is high class yoga wear, underwear is cute briefs.

Katze: Has no nightwear because he doesn’t sleep, doesn’t wear any underwear.

I like how O.D isn’t mentioned in the second question. Also Sugane pls, get a better swimsuit.

terms and conditions [TC Closed //updatesthisworld]

[effectscreamer]

A roommate? A… Roommate. A roommate. 

Holy shit.

Ditching his new acquaintance at the door, Alexander practically sprinted back through the living room, ripping open the box where he kept all his bills and documents. Upon hurriedly ruffling through the mass of sheets he found what he was looking for- the contract he signed in order to live in the apartment. He scanned down the words, and although he couldn’t understand most of them, he eventually found what he was looking for in the middle of the terms and conditions.

Eligible to receive new roommates at any given time.

He froze, hands gripping at the sheet of paper in his hands. He knew, he just knew that this kind of affordable housing would have some sort of catch. Well, there was nothing he could do about it now- he couldn’t just kick the guy out because he felt like it. There was no point to that. So, he placed the box back on the shelf and returned his gaze to the other, noting that his luggage was getting closer.

"You might as well just bring it all in." he gestured, pointing slightly to one of the empty bedrooms. "Listen, if we’re going to live together, we’re going to need to set up some very important ground rules."

[updatesthisworld]

〈Rui watched as the other quickly made his way into the living room, looking through a box with several sheets of papers that seemed quite important. Well, this was strange. Was he surprised about having a roommate or something of the sort? Oh well, he wouldn't question the boy. Instead, he continued to watch as Alexander held the paper in his hands, leaning on one of his bags of luggage, letting out a quiet sigh. When the shorter returned the box to the shelf, Rui glanced at him once more, straightening his posture.〉

"You might as well just bring it all in." 

〈It was about time. He began rolling and dragging the luggage into the warmer apartment, carefully closing the door behind him. When Alexander pointed at one of the bedrooms, Rui assumed that it was unoccupied, so he brought the entirety of his baggage into the room, looking around for a second. It wasn't too bad, but nothing would ever beat the high-class mansion-apartment that he lived in while still residing in Tachikawa. The boy would definitely miss living there, but this was a new and fresh start that he had to deal with. Definitely different, too. Attending school was something he had never thought that he was going to. It was useful, but it wasn't like Rui had a great education already; he did teach himself everything, after all.〉

"Listen, if we’re going to live together, we’re going to need to set up some very important ground rules."

〈Wandering out of the small room, Rui made his way into the living room, looking down at the other with a brow raised and eyes narrowed. Rules? They couldn't be too bad, right? Leaning on one side of the wall near Alexander, the boy continued to stare at the other. "Such as?" he questioned, waiting for a response. Hopefully they weren't that 'important'.〉

Foot tapping lightly against the floor, he was starting to grow impatient.

LOAD better not have backed out from their meeting, or else the skylark would have to track them down again. Not that it’d be that hard to do, but still. It seemed, however, that there was nothing to worry about, fortunately.

Kyoya was about to sip on his cup of water when the loud click of heels getting closer and closer caught his attention. He stopped his movements midtrack, arching an eyebrow behind dark sunglasses as he looked the… Girl up and down before they found themselves a seat across his own. Okay, the skylark was aware that GALAX’s creator was, actually, a guy — but seeing him crossdressing had been a surprise.

"Only Kumo." He corrected, lowering his glass down. "And I assume… You are LOAD?"

[updatesthisworld]

〈Rui noticed as the other looked him up and down, but he just raised a brow and pushed his glasses up, adjusting them on the bridge of his nose, eyes not leaving the other. What strange attired this man had; he was seemingly important, but with the sunglasses and a jacket, he didn't look serious at all. Oh well, if it was a disguise, Rui would understand, considering the fact that he crossdressed to hide his true identity.〉

"Only Kumo."

"And I assume… You are LOAD?"

〈At Hibari's words, Rui gave a small nod, letting out a small sigh. "So, why did you call me here?" he inquired, head tilting only slightly. It had to be important, since the prodigy didn't exactly have a free schedule. Plus, there had been a lot going on in Toshi City so he had to be on top of that. At least having X to work things out while he was gone was helpful. If the AI didn't exist, Rui would definitely have an even busier schedule than he already did; which, no one wants.〉
