[When Suzaku makes an appearance, he's not wearing any strange must-be-cosplay this time. He's standing some distance away, apparently using a tv as his screen]

From what I've read, I gather some people might need to make other living arrangements.

[He pauses as though this conveys his entire message. Of course, it doesn't. As much as he's thought about addressing this matter, he's still having trouble articulating it. It's a visible struggle, coupled with a lengthy bout of silence, and then he presses on]

My godfather owns this property [He gestures to what appears to be an impressive space] but he's away on business. Likely for a long time. Because of my deployment, I'm still here.

Since that's the case, there's no need to worry about endangering someone who isn't involved.

[A pause again. He's really not good at this]

If it happens that someone needs a place to stay, it should be fine. Just don't make a mess. I'm keeping his house exactly the way he left it.

[ooc: Subseqent to that, Suzaku accesses the network from screens and windows, giving a real scope of the house. For reference, this is his residence]

Hah. Well if it comes to a phone thing, not like Skype or something, I could probably help. I can sound like a girl, if I have to. Or a boy who isn't me for that matter, but girl might raise less attention.

Hmm. Yeah looks like I could make it. Tomorrow, say, early. What kind of staff's it got? This looks like it needs a lot of upkeep. And... Is that a pool, or pools? Are they heated?

[ex_elude798]

[It takes him a bit to respond to that]

...Yeah, I'm not...I think a girl makes the most sense.

[He will deny his half-CLAMP heritage and imagine that he could never like a guy that way. Tony however would totally buy it, his mun has said as much]

It's mostly just me and little cleaner-bots. [Don't ask him to know what a Roomba is. Especially not after his godpapa was done with them] And there's two pools, they're both heated.

[espigeonage]

Yeah it's usually easier to explain too.

Really? Huh. And if something broke down it'd be too complicated for typical repairmen anyway, huh?

I swear the worst normal thing about living here is the ocean's there, always, but it's usually too cold to swim.

[ex_elude798]

He's taught me how to handle these things. They're not so bad. Not unless somebody kicks one into a pool or something.

[Which naturally would be beyond his capacity]

Never did look like fun out here.

[espigeonage]

Well, if you say so. Out of the range of spying neighbors?

Job market's not bad... So, if you let me come tour the place, are you gonna let me swim, too?

[ex_elude798]

The property's fairly sizable. At least, nobody outside the gate's likely to see anything.

[He has no idea why the guy would want to go swimming while looking a place over, so he shrugs]

...I guess.

[espigeonage]

Cool. So many big windows, you know!

[Julien was expecting a refusal. He fakes a laugh - has to, he can't laugh normally anymore.]

Really? Sweet! All right, all right, I've seen video of you, but me, I've kept my face off the network, for the most part. I'd be short, half Asian half white, and possessed of blue hair.

[ex_elude798]

They're tinted so from the outside, I don't think people can see straight in.

[That and some nonsense about temperature that he didn't really understand when Tony told him about it]

I'm half-Japanese, myself. Think blue hair's got to stand out.

[espigeonage]

Hah, that's why I picked it! Doesn't get as much notice now as it used to. Is there nothing pulses won't ruin?

[ex_elude798]

By the time we came up with something, it'd probably find a way to affect that too.
