where: Several different places, check the prompts
warnings: (Mentions of) cannibalism. The prompt that contains it is properly tagged.


Library
[ Kaneki isn’t happy to be in this whole new world – he is so tired to be thrown into sort of terrible new situations where he is forced to adapt. And yes, he does consider being here as the only almost-ghoul something terrible; being on his own and having to do the things he needs on his own is stressful and kind of horrible.

Regardless, there are some really positive things, such as working at the library and having access to thousands of books from thousands of authors he never even heard. It’s true, not all are interesting, and he doesn’t quite get many of them since they talk about things that don’t exist on Kaneki’s world, but he is completely in love with what he is got.

And that is easy to notice, since Kaneki is reading while he works – can it be even called “work” when his eyes are glued to the pages and he barely seems to notice others? Though, even if it doesn’t look like he is paying attention, he is, so don’t try to act smart (not that he’d be any good at a confrontation, but…ah well…).

At least he is smiling a bit – a genuine smile, too. ]



Coffee shop (at the library too)
[ Another job Kaneki has, though still at the same workplace, requires a different skill: coffee making. And if there is one thing Kaneki knows, is to make damn good coffee, thanks to working at a ghoul café back home. Though at first he was a bit clumsy with the machines they gave him, he soon worked everything out, and it’s no surprise a lot of people seem to enjoy spending some time reading while they sip their cappuccino.

He is actually pretty proud of himself, and really wishes the manager was there to see how good he got with time. Regardless, Kaneki will meet the next client with a bright big smile: come on, come on, try one of the best coffees around made by yours truly ]



Outside the laboratories (cw ; CANNIBALISM)
[ One of the things Kaneki avoids like the plague is eating. Not the normal food someone else would, but the only food he can eat: human flesh. And ever since he arrived, he refused to eat, but it comes a time when he has to give in because he knows that the longer he goes without eating, more dangerous it can get.

So when hunger is way too loud and no coffee can curb it, he finally gives in and heads to the laboratories. The meat he is given is mostly synthetic, which means he doesn’t have to feel guilty that he’s eating someone who died, but it doesn’t push away the terrible idea that is to eat people, to eat human flesh. Which is what he has in his backpack right now.

Once he is given his food (he hates calling it food), kaneki puts it inside the backpack, refuses to eat there, and just rushes out as quickly as he can, so he can find a hidden secret spot where he can eat. And maybe that’s when he bumps into someone, who knows? ]

Hey, that's great, man. Clearly someone like me was doing their job right.

[The scent of the raw meat is still making his antennae prickle with interest, and his next question just slips out.]

So, what's for dinner?
onthehalfshell: (bad in a crisis)

Sorry, it's, ah- [He points up at his antennae.] -these guys are really sensitive to some things. You've got some meat with you. Any big plans for it?

[Not going to say 'hey, your raw meat is making my mouth water'. Just a guy asking about food so they can, uh, swap recipes or something?]
onthehalfshell: (um)

Yeah? [Wikus tilts his head a bit.] You alright, man? You seem a bit... On edge.
onthehalfshell: (this shitty nerd)

[personal profile] onthehalfshell 2017-07-10 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh- [But they've just been talking for awhile and Kaneki wasn't out of breath before? Obvious lie is obvious, but hey, Kaneki is a nice kid, Wikus won't really call him on it for now.] Yeah, alright, man.

Got any big plans with someone? Because I can give you tips. Preparing a good meal helped win over my wife.

[Hot dates are definitely a reason to get nervous.]
