When he'd returned to his room, Ryu had in mind to take a shower and wash the machine dirt from his body. Things did not go as planned. He'd stripped down to his boxers, had tossed his dirty clothes in the hamper, only to suddenly have a full two days without sleep bite him in the ass. It was a wonder how he made it to the bed before he passed out, face down in the pillow. Like usual, his dreams consisted of new ideas for strange little inventions.
When he woke again, he wasn't sure of the time, only that he was still dirty and very hungry. So after a hurried shower, he tugged on some clean clothes and headed toward the cafeteria to fill his empty belly. He couldn't help but daydream a little as he strolled along and ended up getting lost for a few minutes. Eventually he found his way back onto the right path and reached his destination with little time lost.
Tray full of food, Ryu settled down in his usual seat and slowly began eating.
Hands in his pockets, Aki followed Ivin through the ship's hallways, openly gazing through open doors and studying peoples' faces as they passed by. He wanted to become familiar with his surroundings as soon as possible so he could feel more 'at home'. When they reached the cafeteria, Aki dropped down into chair next to Ivin and gazed across the table. So this was Ryu? "Yo," he said with a smile and a quick nod of his head. He didn't want to jump to conclusions but the guy sitting across from him looked little bit like a...uh...weirdo? Or maybe just a bit space casey?
Ryu was mid-thought about birds, or rather seagulls to be specific, when Ivin's voice called him back to reality. Such was often the case lately, he realized. With a smile, he glanced up at his friend before turning his attention to a new face. This Aki fellow looked kind enough, full of energy. If he was Ivin's new roommate, he wondered how the two got along.
"Oh, hello. Nice to meet you," he replied when he realized he'd spaced out again, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. His eyes still felt really heavy and he was sure he needed more sleep. So naturally he did just that, mumbling a small 'goodnight'. Pushing aside his tray, he folded his arms on the tabletop, rested his head on top, and closed his eyes.
Aki could only blink in response. Ryu was really sleeping right there on the table? Who does that?! Lifting an eyebrow with amusement, Aki chuckled and shook his head. "Hey. Let's get some food already. I'm starving," he whined at Ivin, giving a friendly elbow nudge to the ribs while the man was in the middle of taking a drink.
