Who: As many people in Virgo HQ as Luce can grab
What: The best way to get to know new people is over breakfast, didn't you know?
When: A nice cheery morning a vague time in January after everyone's newbies have met their band
Where: The Flower Over Bones penthouse
Warnings: None planned! Feel free to treat this as a mingle log

The first month Luce arrived at Virgo HQ, she didn't waste any time before establishing some sort of lunch everyone could get together at. As January drags on, it's something she finds herself thinking about as new faces fill up the gaps where she had known others.

It's part of the reasons why, one early morning, she can be found bustling to all the other band penthouses to deliver a simple invitation she makes sure everyone gets to hear: a breakfast taking place in the FoB house for all Virgo musicians.

FoB penthouse looks like a lot of the other bands, with some clutter here and there that fits its inhabitants including a small dartboard with various articles about the members pinned there with shuriken. The television is playing what seems to be an early day sci-fi movie marathon and there's already a pretty impressive spread of pancakes, waffles, french toast, and various cut up fruit for people to dig into.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Oh, one of the newer band members, the one he didn't quite get to know. Ankh really wasn't sure what to do with the kid other than to give him a shake, and since that was stupid, he kept away save for when working. As he approached, Ankh twitched a little, bringing his left elbow down on his right hand like it was the most normal thing to do before looking up at him.

"It's just noisy in here and it's bothering my headache."

Tsuna does notice the strange gesture with his elbow, but doesn't comment. Because there is really no way to bring that up without the whole conversation getting weird and awkward. Instead he smiles hesitantly.

"Yeah, it is kind of crowded in here. Um, Luce probably has aspirin or something. If you think it would help."

"Not really."

It wasn't that kind of headache. If it was, he would have been over it by now since he knew how to take care of that. This was something else and if he couldn't handle it with a crowd this small, how was he going to handle it when they started touring again?

"Aspirin won't help this kind of headache." Poor kid. He had been rather mean to him, hadn't he? "Thanks for the offer."

"Um, you're welcome?"

Tsuna is a little surprised at the 'thanks,' but he has the sense not to say so.

"If there is anything I can do to help, let me know."

He does consider asking if 'this kind of headache' meant what he thought it did. There's way too many problems that relate back to all the weird stuff that's been happening lately. Strange visions, unexplained physical changes... why not headaches too?

He just curls his upper lip a little, almost a go-to response to anything that he was going to dismiss right off the bat, though he hasn't added that all-too-familiar tch as well. He probably would if he was feeling particularly nasty towards Tsuna, but the kid was trying and Ankh was just in a rotten mood.

"I don't know if you can help." After all, how can people stop wanting things? Humans have wants. It was built into them the moment they were born.

And why was he starting to refer to other people as just being human?

"I can try."

It's seeming more and more likely that this is a weirdness related problem though. So he checks to mmake sure no one else is listening, and lowers his voice a little.

"Is this..."

He pauses. Wow there is no non-awkward way to ask this, is there?

"Um, is this related to all the... strange things that keep happening lately?"

"There's a lot of strange things happening lately," he replied, gnawing on his ice treat. He knew what Tsuna could be getting at, but still, he had to be careful. Actually coming out and saying that he was able to sense other people's wants is not exactly wise after all.

"But... it might be."

That draws a slightly amused smile from Tsuna.

"That's true. I'm starting to think strange is the new normal around here."

And he does understand the need to be subtle. Luce had assured him the FOB penthouse had been thoroughly checked for bugs, but Tsuna is too pessimistic to think that means they're not somehow being watched.

"Is it the crowds? Is it too noisy?"

He's guessing, since weirdness around here ranges from weird eye colors to strange abilities.

"Maybe if things weren't strange anymore, we will think the world's coming to an end, right?"

He looked around at the people, and then looked at his ice treat and then took another big bite off of it. He was down to the stick now and that seemed to make him remember something about the Core. Telling someone what they were like.

"It is a little too noisy. But I promised Luce I will be here for a while, so got to stick around somewhat."

"You know, that's the same reason I came. Because she asked."

Tsuna can't help but grin at that.

"Luce really has a way of getting what she wants out of people, doesn't she?"

"She's a friend."

Ankh shrugged like it explained everything, which it may not to some people. After all, it wasn't like he went out of his way to befriend anyone.
