Home on the lake [OPEN as open can be! come visit, Heroes!]
Who: Shunsui Kyouraku and anyone willing to walk half an hour west of Caissa to his new house!
When: a few days after the Grantebryncge Library dungeon!
Where: half an hour to forty-five minutes west of Caissa
What: Shunsui got a house and is going to go try to make it livable!
Rating: None, it's an open house log. He might try to smooch people on the forehead and there could be blood when he tries to decorate, but otherwise we should be good.
OOC note: Kinkaku-ji (the Golden Pavilion) in Kyoto is meant to serve as inspiration, since the house is close to it in style! It's not nearly as big or ornate, though, and probably not...gold.
The home was more than he'd been expecting, even having toured it several times before applying for his permit and making the purchase.
It consisted of three levels and sat on a lake, reminding Shunsui of the Ugendou. That fact made him a bit sad, but it was nice to have all the same! It was a happy yellow color, and he liked the way the sun seemed to make it shine.
The first level consisted of a large kitchen, lounge area, bathroom with large tub and shower, library/reading room and guest room. It had access in several places to the wide deck/porch surrounding the entire house, upon which rested a small sunroom that he was excited to fill with plant life!
The second level housed three bedrooms, of good size with small study nooks in each. While there was only one bathroom shared between the three, it was quite large and rather nice, in his opinion! The bathing and toilet areas were separate, which was nice since that was what he was most familiar with. He did worry since one of the occupants - or at least, so he hoped! - was a young lady, but there was nothing that said she needed to take a room on that floor. They did have plenty!
The third and final level consisted of a master bedroom, a medium sized office, and a bathroom with shower. All three levels boasted balconies with railings, and he'd made sure to outfit those with comfortable chairs and tables to rest drinks or books on!
It had been rather expensive, but Shunsui had been doing many of the jobs he'd found posted in this world, and for all his carefree attitude, he didn't spend a great deal of money on himself. Never had, really, and now that his drinking had all but stopped...well. He did visit restaurants and bakeries regularly, but he'd managed to charm so many of the cooks that he often spent next to nothing anyway!
Once the furniture he'd ordered (simple but of good quality, beds and desks and sofas and tables!) had been delivered and set up, he decided it was time to open the place up to visitors and guests!
The main door was open, and visitors could walk through the garden he'd started to get to the house. There were many refreshments in the sitting area and kitchen, and plenty of space to relax! Including many, many cushions on the floor, both inside and on the dock.

"Thank you. I'm sorry for getting a bit sad, it was nothing about you or us being family."
Because of course the younger man had felt it. He was far too perceptive not to, after all!
"Well! I should probably get back to our guests downstairs. You're welcome to come with me, or you can stay here and rest for a bit if you like. People can be a bit tiring!"

"I'll come."
If nothing else he'd seen there were plenty of corners and walls he could linger around. That would allow him to have some space if people ended up being overwhelming. It was kind of his default thing to do anyway.

He said it with a grin, because he really was fond of Shin-Ah and didn't want him to feel that he needed to hide. While he himself was a very social person, he realized Shin-Ah wasn't, although he was quite friendly and probably could be once he learned how to talk with others a little.
And yes, there were plenty of corners as well as rather secluded rooms to disappear to if one needed. Shunsui, with his preference for privacy, had chosen the home with that in mind.
no subject
Well as long as someone spoke his language anyway.
