sup my dudes, it's ya boi Koro-chan at it again ಠಿヮಠ
Just wanna say thanks to everyone who helped me out when I first got here!!!!!
I finally settled at the dorms where I was supposed to go! Yaaaay!
It's kinda crappy and leaking everywhere though ┻┻︵ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ︵┻┻ what's a guy gotta do to make money and move out around here?
Also what the heckers is that!!???
[A selfie is put under the post. It feature a handsome, but emotionless, deadpanned man with short black hair and deep crimson eyes. With a straight face, he's holding up a peace sign, next to what appears to be a tickle mehehe sleeping on his bed.
...Is this "Koro-chan"? That can't be, right? That face doesn't match the typing style at all!]

My name's Glenn.
[It's enough of a trek from wherever Glenn's staying to wherever Koro is staying, that there's some time to talk.]
My methods are a little unorthodox. I hope you won't mind that I'm a shape-shifter?
Why are emojis a struggle
I'm Koro! (◕દ◕) And what do you mean shapeshifter? What do you turn into?
no idea. XD text -> video
Hold on. I can demonstrate.
[After a few moments, Glenn initiates a video feed. If Koro accepts, a young man stares placidly at the camera, irises mimicking the look of the lens.]
Koro?
[It's relatively quiet, Glenn having found a less-occupied part of the train. He looks at the screen with some mild amount of nervousness. At this proximity to the camera, it's easy to pick out that Glenn's hair is not so much hair as it is tufts of fur with chunks of feathers making up some of the strands.]
Am I audible to you? Can you see me?
[His voice, furthermore, is relatively emotionless, tinted just softly with inflection. His words are spoken a little slowly, but not by too much.]
Text-> video
...Yes. I can see you.
[Rather jarring how stark the difference is between his voice and his text.]
cw: body horror/eyes where they shouldn't be/transformation
[Satisfied, he gives a little nod of his head.]
Good.
[He lifts up one hand and several fingers twist together in order to form an eye on a long stalk.]
I can do things like this and more. So I am able to see and inspect small crevices.
[He dissolves the eye and returns his fingers to normal. After a moment, the camera shifts, moving further away as Glenn morphs a tendril and uses it to lift and move the feed around. The extra tentacle comes from his wrist, and it's clear that he's not holding onto it with his hands at this point.]
I can then use some of my cells to fix damages. Like leaks.
[Tilting his head, he brings the device closer to himself again, both hands still visible in the frame as his fingers lightly tent together.]
no subject
He lived in hell most of his life. He's seen scarier in his reflections a small chuckle escapes his lips as he has that thought.]
And here I thought I was special. All I can do is change into a handsome man.
no subject
Well, your opinion of handsome is accurate to me, too.
[He's not sure what else to say, and so adds a little smile. It's small, and shy, but genuine. Koro's quiet chuckle also helps him mirror the mood a little. Not that he's lacking for warmth, but sometimes it's just easier to follow the lead of another.]
You're probably plenty special in ways I am not, too. Including with however your other form appears.
[All of this, spoken matter-of-factly.]
I won't ask you to display it, however. I know-- how self-conscious one can be about appearances. And you have nothing to prove to me, either.
no subject
[He is deep in thought as he watches this man change back and forth.]
Does it require energy to change like this for you?
no subject
[He decides not to prod Koro about his real form. He'll show it if he feels comfortable with it, and that's that. They're strangers anyway, so there's no reason to expect anything.]
I've had awhile to practice.
no subject
What do you use to replenish that energy?
no subject
I used to cook regularly when I was much younger, so my skills with a knife come in handy. However rusty they can be.
[There isn't terribly much of a tell in his expression, save for a subtle pinch in his brow and a similarly small downward turn of his lips.]
I've eaten today, so I'm fine for a while.
no subject
[Yikes. Koro feels lucky that his form of energy consumption includes raw meat of a different nature]
no subject
[If only his energy needs could be fulfilled by something as enjoyable as fucking. Alas.]
no subject
[Koro doesn't eat food, so he has no idea what kinds of meats there are out there.
You know, besides dick.]
That...doesn't sound like a happy life.
no subject
You could say that.
[There's no point in elaborating, though.]
I'm pretty much limited to that if I want to get away with minimal cooking. For whatever reason, my body's fine with that.
no subject
How far are you? We can talk more when you get here. I should prepare myself a little.
no subject
[Glenn manages a bit of a smile.]
Prepare?
no subject
[Wow, you made him feel bad.]
Right then. When I mean prepare I mean make myself presentable. I'll see you when you get here.
no subject
Very well. See you then.
[He disconnects, but not before offering a bit of a smile. It doesn't take him long to find Koro's place. He uses a few fingertips to test the material of the door before knocking as gently as he can. The sound resounds a little louder than he intended. He winces, and then calls out,] Koro? Glenn here.
no subject
[Surprise! Koro appears behind Glenn, holding what seems to be a bag full of bathroom supplies. He's dressed in a very casual yukata, and his hair seems damp.]
...The bathroom doesn't work in this dorm quite yet. I had to go to the public baths. Hopefully you'll be able to find the problem.
[Koro starts fumbling about in his pockets until he finds a key, which he then proceeds to unlock the door with.]
... Come in.
no subject
[T THE FUCK??
[How did Koro get there without him hearing?!
[Glenn takes a breath to calm down first, cheeks burning slightly in embarrassment for his outburst.]
Ah. Yeah, that's a really-- I gotcha. Shouldn't be too hard.
[Just. Gonna let Koro let himself in first, and then follow inside. Once he's in, he starts looking around.]
Show me where you started noticing the leak, if you don't mind?
no subject
Let's see...there's one over there.
[He points.]
One over There.
[He points again.]
Oh one over here as well. [He... points again. There's a lot of leaks.]
But I suppose we should start with the one in the bathroom. I don't really mind the other leaks, as long as this one gets fixed so I can use it until I get some money for renovations.
no subject
[Deciding to avoid getting his whole kimono wet, Glenn tugs his kimono off and just leaves on he hakama, draping the former garment over the closest, driest bit of furniture (if he has any. Otherwise, well, floor's better than wet with who knows what water.)
[And well, there's a shitton of scarring everywhere on his body (seems he had enough luck to somehow spare his nipples, at least.) But he makes a point to pretend he doesn't notice that his body looks fucked up while he inspects the main leak in the bathroom, using tentacles and eyestalks to look and feel around, until he stuffs one each of the former and latter right into the leaking piping.
[Despite all the same-ness of the scars, there are a few that stand out: namely, the scarring of more than one gunshot(?) wound through his chest, over his heart, and exiting out his back.]
no subject
[Koro takes note as Glenn strips, his eyes following the scars along his body. It was a fascinating sight, bit Koro can't help but also feel concerned.
As Glen works, Koro walks up from behind, and without a second thought he reaches out and gently caresses down the other's arm.]
Do these hurt?
no subject
[There's no reaction to him being touched. It's only until he looks at Koro and then where his arm is he's being touched, that he understands. And all at once, he realizes it might look suspicious to act like he was touched all along.]
...Oh. Sorry. No, the nerves are severed, so can't feel it even if it does hurt. I only have sensation remaining from the neck up and... another couple of places.
[His cheeks turn briefly pink to admit that much.]
I also have sensation in my tentacles. That's about it.
[He looks again to where Koro's touch is, brow furrowing. His lips tug into an attempt at a smile, but fails to last more than a second.]
...Looks like you're using a gentle touch, so I can remember what that feels like, at least.
[Fortunately, he can still work like this. And bit by bit, he finds the leak and starts to seal it up with some of his cells.]
