[ It's later in the day that he makes it to the allocated housing, but it's been hard enough trying to avoid people when there's little shade in the town. Sunlight follows everywhere, and while the ring will help people not be aware he is what he is (or rather, they'll think that being is someone else), he finds more relief in pulling the ring off once he's inside the apartment.

He has lived in conditions worse than this. Back when he was human, back in 1918 and before he hadn't been rich and his living conditions had been back enough to bring illness anyway. Being with Carlisle, mind you, he's started to get used to the luxury.

At least they'll have shelter, that's better than nothing.

He's looking around the place when he hears the door open, name tag on display to offer his name when he turns to the newcomer. ]

It seems as though we'll be stuck together for a while. I'm Edward.



[ note: ofc you guys can do your own prompts as well uwu ]

For Edward

[Perhaps the accommodations they've been provided with are less than perfect, but Giovanni enters his assigned housing with an outward appearance of perfect indifference-- he has no preconceived expectations, has little idea of what ordinary dwellings are supposed to look like, and that twisting bleak warren of a city from which he hails has never been anything but a den of iniquity, all crumbling ruins and squalid shacks and places far from perfection. For himself, he's only ever existed within the sterile depths of the Below, of that macabre facility where monsters are made, where the blinding white corridors and flickering electric lights can never quite conceal the rot that lies underneath.

His 'own room', if it could be called that, had been little more than a white cell, equipped with a low-slung bed and very little else. Personal space and luxuries-- these aren't things that he knows anything about. As such, despite his impassive exterior, there's the faintest buzz and thrum of uncertainty beneath the surface, a vague feeling of trepidation at having to strike out on his own when he's always been part of a pack. Always been provided for, no matter how shabbily.

Still, when Edward appears moments after he's stepped inside, there's only the cocky upwards tilt of his chin, sharp teeth bared in a smile.]

You, again. What bad luck-- you'll just have to endure the smell.

For anyone else!

[And for his other new roommates...perhaps you'll find him whilst he's looking around what is to be their new home, at least on a temporary basis. He gives off an air of aloof detachment, only vaguely interested at best, although when he hears your approach he'll turn, smile crookedly. All teeth.]

Roommates. What fun.

[His tone, despite the smile, is a sardonic drawl.]

[ So the living arrangements here leave a little something to be desired when you're used to the comparatively luxury-class suites of Hyperion middle management, where hot water and a soft bed and more than one cup are provided for your living enjoyment.

Or well. When you were used to that, technically. Rhys lost all of that when he'd tried to buy a Vault Key that turned out to be fake and got blacklisted from Hyperion, and then really really lost it all again when he crashed the whole space station into the surface of a planet and had to live in the remains of an abandoned Atlas facility while bleeding out everywhere and rebuilding his lost cybernetic limbs.

...

The point is these places could stand to be improved, especially when you happen to have super intolerant roommates who don't understand that it takes work to look as good as he does. So after that whole...mess, Rhys is looking to spend some time away from it all. And where better than with that guy who spoke to like, once before?? Hope everyone else don't mind that he's come knocking-- ]

Helloooo? Anyone home? Edward?
