[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.

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.]
Make sure nobody's followin' us.

[ 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... ]

--You! Move it!
[ 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! ]

[GREAT!!!!! ANOTHER ONE!!
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 room is occupied!

[ 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. ]

Should I leave the both of you to kick and wail around on the bed with one another? We're kind of stuck with roommates. Looks like... ugh.
[ he can't even say this without pinching the bridge of his nose. ]
Kinda looks like we just signed each other up to be one.
[ he can't even say this without pinching the bridge of his nose. ]
Kinda looks like we just signed each other up to be 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. ]

[Um, he never said--! EXCUSE HIM.
He can't believe Rohan is just taking over his room! The crowding and refusal to leave makes him drop his arms and grab the unchanged Tessaiga. Any threat is dispersed when he just leans it against one shoulder, keeping his arms around the sheath. Protective.] I got this room fair and square! [But he's had one mission tucked under his belt, and he's had to hang around a few others some nights here and there.
Not to mention--shacking with four other people and a cat demon? Yeah, don't talk to him.] Give me a break... What're you complaining about? Try sleepin' outside or somethin', then talk to me about how bad this is. [DON'T INSULT HIS ROOM!!!!]
Whatever. Just don't think I'm sharing a bed.

[ there's a comment that Noct wants to make about Inuyasha — figuratively speaking and definitely not literally — avoiding slapping his dick on the table with that giant blade of his being slung over his shoulder all of a sudden. but no. he reserves all comments for the time being, because Rohan is feeling a certain type of way and has most definitely commandeered the conversation for the time being.
is it weird that he's almost, sort of, kind of flattered to be grouped into that "we"? maybe. but it's nice. thanks, Rohan. only when talk of outdoors comes up does he interject himself again. ]
I camped out on giant slabs of rock with glowing lights on the ground. With three other guys. I'll talk to you about how bad it is if you really want me to.

[ 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.

No thank you. To both of you. [ hmph. ] Camping is barbaric.
[ says a man who never camped, who hates the idea of camping, etc etc. he stands by what he said and won't apologize, not ever, and he isn't going to apologize for stepping further into the room and throwing his bag down with a tired huff. having successfully hassled his way into a room, he can at long last rest.
(he would, actually, greatly prefer the bed but he will eat his own words and suck it up. inuyasha did get here first.) ]
Thank you for accommodating us. [ as if he didn't barge in. ]

[Naturally, Inuyasha opens his mouth to protest... well, all of this currently, but the sassy answer to his declaration and then the following thanks catch him off guard.
He blows air against the back of his teeth irritably, refusing to look at either Rohan or Noctis for the time being.] Yeah? Join the club, pal. At least there's fresh air, and you don't have all this stupid lights flashing in your face.
[His golden eyes cut around to Rohan, then the bag suspiciously. He's on the bed now, but his insides are Jell-O even if he's barky. He'll probably end up in the shower with a pillow or just sitting on the floor.
Rohan: lucky to run into a tsundere.] If the two of you do anything annoying, I'll toss you out the door. [Oh. He looks back to Noctis.] And if you start tossin' that blinky sword, I'll do it too.

[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?
What the heck are they?!

[ 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?

--- Hey, what the heck?! Let me on the counter too!
[Maya hastily scrambles over to climb up too, out of the warpath of the roombas, especially the dying one.]
They're not ribbits! They're rumples! And.... I think they're bodyguards? I mean, that one nearly hit me a few times.
[protect her inuroomba.]

[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!
[these morons]

[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?

[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.

You know.... A Super Dang Rompa. The ultimate form of these garbage eaters!
[neither of them are paying attention, let's be real. Maya scooches closer on the counter, following his eyes -- are his ears twitching.]
Okay, how do you wanna do this? I can use my shields to block their path! And then you do your swordy thing?!

Tch. Why even bother? They don't stand a chance. I could clean them all out in one go. [To which Edvard says behind them, meekly: "O-oh, I wouldn't advise that...!" and Inuyasha quickly ignores.]
Come on. Girls are such babies. [He doesn't even ask for permission. Turning around on the counter, he reaches out, swiftly loops an arm under hers and across her back then throws her up over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.
He springs from the counter all the way across the lobby to the elevator, dodging every single roomba and Tidy-Bot present. Problem solved.
He puts her down once they're inside, propping Tessaiga over the front of one shoulder.] I hate this thing.
It makes me sick, but it's the only way to get to the rooms. Those two other idiots won't let me climb the building.

[ ha. hahahaha. Noctis remembers the days when he thought camping was for people who had too much time on their hands. he's still the world's biggest fan of a nice, comfortable bed, but his tone on the matter has changed since the end of his roadtrip. not that he's about to reminisce about that now of all times. ]
Alright. Well, glad we got all that settled. Can't believe I'm seriously rooming with you two, but...
[ that last part is mumbled underneath his breath as he just. casually walks over to the bed that Inuyasha is sitting in and claims the other corner of it. it probably says something about how he doesn't plan on letting the bed go so easily. ]
Blinky sword. Huh. That's a new one. Bet you'd make a funny face if I made that big blade of yours "blink" and disappear.

[ 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. ]
What do you think you're doing?
