[Inuyasha is already in the room because he's a pile of garbage and wants to get away from everyone else. Especially away from Lissa after the Dancing Fox fiasco; his pride has been wounded almost beyond repair.
Unfortunately, every piece of technology in here is lost on him regardless of whether or not he's been tossed into Kagome's era. He doesn't have a clue what things do, so... when in doubt, press all the buttons!
He's squatted on the bed--barefooted, red-robed, nothing concealed--in the midst of breaking the it by making it move in various directions when Noctis or Rohan, or both, enter. Pausing, he glances up and gives them the once over.] Great.
And here I was hopin' there wouldn't be any visitors.
[ Noctis realizes just from first glance at the hotel that they wouldn't be getting their own individual rooms. they'd be lucky if they were able to manage a minimum of two in each. while past-Noctis would be groaning eternally at the thought of sharing a closed space with a stranger, teammate or no, current-Noctis has been subjected to camping out with three grown ass men. "grown", depending on how you'd like to define the word.
so he can handle this. he's got this. all it takes is the first open door for him to declare it as his own, and once he steps in— ]
Oooohh... Okay. It's you. I'll, uh, let you have this one—
[ and he's turning around, fully prepared to leave Inuyasha in the dust. their first interactions together are far too awkward to think about to have that dangling over them as they sleep across from one another. good thing that door is wide open and not about to be occupied by another body walking in or something... ]
[ here comes rohan just as noctis turns to leave, blocking his direct path out and sandwiching him between the doorway and the room ahead. rohan has already had no luck finding a single solitary room to himself, having come to the hotel late on account of wanting a warm drink at the deli, so now he must torture himself with... roommates. a cursed life for a man who bought his first house at the humble age of 20, and he's not taking it well.
to that end he decides the next room he comes across is going to be the last, sick and tired of seeing occupied rooms and sucking up his pride in all this. he won't take no for an answer, and so he shoves noctis into the room on his way to barging in. ]
The audacity! The inconsideration! I can't believe they didn't accommodate us into our own separate lodgings in this hotel. What are we on, a shoestring budget?!
[ it's sixty or so people - so what? don't recruit so many people if you can't get them separate rooms! ]
Huffing through gritted teeth, Inuyasha flops back on the bed on his ass, crossing his arms over his chest. He's twisted just enough to regard Noctis and then Noctis' prompt (attempt) at a retreat... Then Rohan's barge inside.] Hey!
What the heck do you think you're doing? I didn't say either one of you could come in here! Why don't you go find someone else to annoy?
[ this went from Bad to Worst in about five seconds flat. just as Noct is one step out the door and ready to ollie the fuck out of there, another guy subjected to Awkward Experiences is here to make the former prince re-evaluate why he enlisted in this mess. it is surprising how malleable he becomes when Rohan is charging in his direction looking as frustrated as he is, causing the young man to backstep and hug the nearest wall to avoid becoming roadkill.
only once he realizes he isn't at the bottom of the other man's shoe does he soak in both his and Inuyasha's words. that makes his face scrunch up. yeah, you know the one. YOU KNOW THE ONE. ]
EVERY room is occupied! [ he all but yells, throwing his hands up in disgust and frustration. ] It's ridiculous. They have the resources to send us across a multiverse, but they can't get us all separate rooms in this trashy 3-star hotel?
[ is it 3 star? it is by his standards, and he is so damn fussed. just because they're working to help the lower class denizens doesn't mean they have to live in a crappy hotel without private rooms! ]
I won't hear any complaints. Every other room I've tried is full, and you're all alone in this one. Suck it up - we're staying here!
[ "we're" being him and noctis, yes congratulations noctis, you have been volunteered as part of rohan's room crashing gang of two. ]
Look, just stay behind me, kid, and don't do anything stupid. [He's only in front because he has a stupid dog-demon nose.
But the rainy weather--it's gonna make it hard to track. Like hell he's admitting that to Laphicet, though!
Oh--and he's actually dressed appropriately for a change, but only because someone bullied him into it. Looking like a right synthwave teenager: a red and white jersey jacket, jeans, a snap-back cap to hide the ears (and keep the rain off), and something akin to high-top Converses.]
[ This is all bizarre fashion to him, but he assumes that's the norm of this world, so he doesn't question it. Laphicet himself is suited up in a jacket that might look too big on him, with the hood pulled over his head. ]
That might be the third time you've told me not to do anything stupid. [ Or something similar to it... ] I get it already.
[ But staying behind Inuyasha is what Laphicet will obediently abide by for now. Better a dog-demon nose lead than a malak, since all he can sense is negative emotions everywhere he goes.
He gives a quick glance behind them and all he can see are people going about their business. So far no suspicions drawn in their direction, as far as he can see through the rain. They're good, for now. ]
Why do you think those parts are so special anyway?
[Near the mouth of the alley they're coming out of, Inuyasha stops and squats down. He waits for Laphicet to catch up before he says anything.
Really, he's not the sneaky type, and he hates prowling around like this. The evidence is the fact he still has damn Tessaiga on him, carrying it at his waist by stringing it through his belt loops. He's trying to keep it unnoticed by shifting it to flow beside his leg.]
Why's it matter? It's not like it's our problem. [??? Inuyasha, it's absolutely your problem currently.] The real question is whether or not we're gonna give it back to the guy who sent us out here in the first place. [looks at smudge on hand] Ganbatte of whatever.
It's probably something weird like everything else in this place.
[ He leans out from behind Inuyasha, in an attempt to get a peek ahead of them. At the moment, Laphicet's visible to everyone. He could choose to go into his original, invisible state (while still appearing normal to Inuyasha), but there's the risk of getting his heat signature sensed out. ]
You sound like someone I know.
[ Which isn't a bad thing. Laphicet sounds mildly amused. He means it in the sense that Inuyasha's more focused in getting the job done than knowing the details of their package. Not the part about being unable to remember their client's name. Velvet would be offended.
He calmly corrects his teammate: ]
Mr. Gunnar of Machinations, Etc. Well, is there any reason we shouldn't give it back to him?
[Laphicet gets a strange look about sounding like someone Laphicet knows. It's curious, like he's wanting the kid to explain, and yet, he doesn't bother asking because that's nosy, and he's not gossipy! Mostly.]
I dunno. I haven't seen what's inside of it yet. But I don't smell anything, so I guess it's parts.
[SIMPLE DOG. The idea that they could deliver the package themselves goes right over his head. He figured they could just steal it.]
It's not like those guys seem to need it. Did you see their building?
[ Just like how Laphicet won't ask about those five friends mentioned in Inuyasha's file. Unless he tries to deny it again. There's no reason to bring them up at the moment anyway. Focus on the bounty! ]
Drakstaden Cybernetics? They're backed by the government and their inventory isn't as low-grade. [ He's mostly going by what he saw of the building and advertisements. His knowledge of cybernetics is pretty much close to zero. ] I don't think they'll need it as much as Mr. Gunnar.
[When Maya finally comes into the hotel, she'll find a familiar red-robed figure. Except... Inuyasha isn't standing by the counter listening to Edvard--no, he's squatted on top of the counter while Edvard is prattling on about the state of the floor right below.
A few roombas and Tidy-Bots are busy making the front lobby more inviting, and, Inuyasha, not knowing what the flying fuck either of those things are, promptly jumped onto the counter to get away from them.
Sadly, there's at least one broken roomba spinning helplessly upside down. It sparks a few times when Inuyasha prods it from above with the sheathed Tessaiga.
Then it gives a last, sorrowful, final scream of electronics before dying.] You said they're what? Ribbits?
[He watches Maya clear the length of the lobby just to get up on the counter with him, face stunned. He thinks he might have to dive in to save her for a second? Not that HE CARES.
He grabs the back of her clothes and hauls her across the counter awkwardly. When she's fine, he huffs and pulls Tessaiga back from the carcass of cleanliness.] I was talkin' to the weirdo behind us. [Sorry, Edvard...]
They're not bodyguards. They're monsters. They don't ever stop moving, and they keep eating everything on the floor.
I killed one, though. It's not like they're powerful.
[Poor Edvard, trying to exposition in the background while these dumbasses fight roombas. Or, well, Inuyasha fights them while Maya gets thrown around. Speaking of which, Maya squeaks when he grabs her and throws her back across the counter.]
C-Cut it out already!!! [why is he like this.]
Maybe they're waiting for you to let your guard down --- or they're going to form a Super Dang Ronpa! Watch out!
[Honestly, he doesn't look at all fearful or impressed of this fabled Super Dang Ronpa.]
Turn into a what? You're not making any damn sense.
[He glances over his shoulder at Edvard; the robot is, in fact, relaying good information about what the roombas and Tidy-Bots are and what they do... but which of them are listening really? Neither.
When he turns back, one of the roombas has come to the counter to run along the side. Inuyasha leans to watch it go, eyes trained, body rigid. He looks, well... like a dog.]
I don't trust anything that has a mouth but can't talk.
[ Aizawa's slouching through the hotel lobby when he catches sight of Inuyasha, still dressed in his bright red robes. Typically, Aizawa is the very last person to worry about appearances, but there are some cases--such as this one, right now--where a certain look is necessary. If they don't blend in, they risk compromising their team, and subsequently the mission.
So, he holds his hand up as Inuyasha approaches, perfectly willing to grab him directly by the shoulder if he has to. ]
[The only other upsetting thing besides being in the same outfit and without any kind of disguise shielding his ears, etc., is the fact that he has one of the roombas impaled on the end of the Tessaiga.
He seems to be carrying it outside maybe (??) much like someone would toss a bug except this one is on the end of a toothpick.
Going right by Aizawa is the plan, but the man grabs him, and he makes a disgruntled fuss immediately.] Hey--let go'a me!
What's it look like I'm doin'? These things keep comin' in our room, and I don't trust anything that has a mouth to eat everything but can't talk!
Aizawa's momentarily stunned by the entirety of Inuyasha's whole scene. There's so much wrong with what's in front of him that he almost can't process it. ]
Turn around. Come with me.
[ He takes hold of what remains of the Roomba and yanks, pulling it off of the sword with (perhaps surprising, given his lanky arms) ease. ]
Surprisingly, Inuyasha seems a little taken aback by Aizawa's sudden intensity.] H-hey! [But he doesn't fight the removal of the poor roomba, standing there holding Tessaiga like an idiot.] I'm not destroying the place!
What the heck is your problem?
[He has no choice--he won't risk the Rat robes being ripped, so he turns around and... follows begrudgingly.] Where are we going?
[ Aizawa's the type to seem like he's completely asleep--until something happens that forces him to drop his sort-of act. ]
I don't have the problem.
[ He's walking, though he's got Inuyasha in his peripheral vision. Just to make sure he's following. ]
First of all, you need to change.
[ They're heading out to the street, towards the south exit. Aizawa knows there's a clothing shop close by, perhaps a five minute walk, and thank God for that, because he'd like to ensure that the general public sees as little of Inuyasha as possible.
He tosses the sad remains of the Roomba in a trash receptacle as he pushes open the hotel doors. ]
This way.
Edited (NOTICES A MISSING WORD.) 2018-04-18 20:32 (UTC)
You're the one with the problem! I wasn't even doing anything but gettin' rid of bugs... [Geez. He can't believe he's being scolded by some old guy? He thought he escaped all the ribbing when he left Kagome and the others behind!
Save him.] "Change"? Yeah right!
These robes are stronger than anything they've got here, and I'm not taking them off! It's not like I care what any of these idiots think about my clothes anyway.
Have you seen some of the things they're wearing?
[He's following??? He could just turn around and leave, but he's following??]
