~ Tнє Pαяα∂σχ Hσυѕє ~ now back to regularly scheduled chaos

"Oh! Uh.. yes, pretty much. This is the second time I've been here and.. I didn't exactly get any good answers first time around," Atsushi elaborated on his situation quickly, nervously touching the back of his neck for a brief second. "This place is called the Paradox House, right?" His purple-gold eyes looked over at the living room, just to make sure that once again nothing was out to kill him.

Nico opened his eyes, watching Noctin and Atsushi. Noctin was doing a pretty good job explaining the house, but Nico figured it would do him some good to converse with people, no matter how much he despised the idea. Maybe he could make friends eventually. Miracles happened. The demigod stood up soundlessly and walked towards Atsushi and Noctin, giving a small nod of greeting.

Noctin shrugged slightly. "Rooms where you either live or die. The House really doesn't have a pattern. Sometimes it turns us against each other and sometimes we fight other things." Other things encompassed most of the fighting rooms Noctin had been in. The clones, the beasts, the robot spiders. All of them different and all of them deadly. "Are you able to fight and defend yourself?" he asked, trying to gauge if this newbie was going to be helpless or not. Noticing Nico, he gave the demigod a short nod.

Atsushi seemed unsure for a few moments. "..I can," he said slowly, "But it's something I don't quite understand nor control yet." Perhaps being honest is the best choice you can make if you want to stay on good terms with people. As much as he'd love to say he's a plain human being, what if he lost control? It would be a very convenient circumstance if someone like Dazai-san had the ability to quickly and abruptly neutralize his other form, but he certainly did not want to bet on that happening. "I'm not a burden though," he gradually said again. "I understand my way around a fight." Okay, maybe that was a little lie. He'd honestly prefer to turn tail and run in the opposite direction if a situation escalated into a fight.. Well, whatever. All he'd have to do is avoid the dangerous rooms, right?

Nico frowned for a second before nodding. "As long as you've got some means of protecting yourself and you don't actively try to hurt others you'll be fine." He said, shoving his hands into his pockets. "Hey, even if you can't protect yourself you'll be fine but in that case you'll have to be pretty good at making friends who can help you." The demigod fell silent, glancing at the other end of the room. He wouldn't mind going down the hallway and facing a room.

(Ari, idk if you saw but Evenstar and the others want you to take over tgd here)

Yeah i saw, I just haven't had a chance to reply yet))

(I can post the thread but idk how active I'll be)

Arlo blinked in, asleep on the couch with a grey and black jacket draped over her. She shifted slightly, causing bits of her light blonde hair to fall across her face, but didn't wake up. It had been awhile since her last blink
, she'd probably be glad to know she was still blinking.
(Sorry for the short post, I can't really think of a way to make a post about a sleeping Arlo longer and it's 430))

(Morning!)

(i wasn't exactly sleepy but no one replied for a good thirty minutes so i figured i'd just go to bed)

(I think I'm gonna blink in my new character cx
//HOLDS ICE-PACK)

(no problem, dusk!)

(well good morning to you ice, and sure, why not)

Fire blinked into the living room with her arms crossed over her chest and a glare on her face. Archer was being completely unreasonable again and it was getting on her nerves.
