This announcement applies specifically to anyone staying in or visiting the Yoshiwara Dormitories in the immediate present.

Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli [ yes, she's using his whole government name ] is presently forbidden from setting foot in the dormitory.

Do not let him in. Do not feed him. Do not allow him to bum smokes off you.

He's in time-out.

For those of you unfamiliar with Caesar, he's [ -- hang on -- she's moving to look at him through the window, and wearing a plain white shirt of his that fits like a dress on her -- ] the twenty-something, muscled, blond Italian with tattoos beneath bright green eyes. He's roughly one hundred and eighty centimeters. He will likely be scowling, shaking with anger, and may be cursing my name in Italian.

Don't let him talk you into letting him in before he's had time to think about what he's done. I'll know.

I'll probably let him in eventually.

[ Probably and, really, she will know if someone tries to let him in. One of those curious pitch black sparrows that showed up sometime around the third of the month will be keeping its oddly colored little eyes on him whether she is or isn't sitting in one of the dormitory windows with a glass of Caesar's wine in hand and his bottle beside her, looking at a certain lying liar who's got no ground to stand on. It's a shame she doesn't have any music she could put on without endangering the phone battery she's determined to preserve. ]

[ And there he is.

Of course, talking like that, Rohan's missing time hasn't caught up to him and that's his saving grace in this situation. Otherwise, she'd absolutely be teasing Mr. Rohan "I Don't Like Muscular Men and Especially Caesar" Kishibe.

She'll save it for now. ]

I can't very well say that here. It doesn't feel like a proper punishment in this situation if he can set his watch and wander off with the expectation he'll be allowed in at a particular time.

[ Probably when she's hungry, though. ]

[penpoint]

[ He'll still deny it. ]

I mean, you can say 'it depends on when he learns his lesson'. That sounds fair.

What's he in the dog house for? Are you his girlfriend and he got busted?

[ he's going to regret this ]

[chichichi]

[ He's going to regret this when his memories return to him and Setsura turns him on a spit about it. As is, she manages to catch and remind herself that Rohan hasn't... regained? His time. He doesn't remember why the latter is a ridiculous question in the slightest. ]

I'm a woman he's apparently merely acquainted with with whom he thinks he can be particular about the truth or I suppose it's possible he thinks I'm too stupid to know when he's lying poorly through his teeth like one of those naive girls he's always after.

[ Or it just doesn't matter. It's not her business, right? He loves throwing that damned phrase around.

She should've knocked his fucking teeth out in addition to locking him outside. ]

[penpoint]

[ So...that's a no then, he takes it. ]

Ah, so he's just some stupid man. Got it. I think I've seen him around.

[ Regretfully. ]

I don't live in the dorms, but noted.

[ Because honestly, it's not his problem. ]

[chichichi]

[ For clarification: That's a hell to the naw, Rohan.

And also that first statement is true. ]

Your attentiveness is appreciated.
