Something Fishy

It was hard for the jellyfish boy to grasp the fact that Ryuk came from the water. It would've been so incredibly different, and it still felt so impossible. Almost all electronics would be out of the question, it would probably get really dark every night, and people would have to swim everywhere. To make it even harder to understand, it seemed like there was an entire civilisation that lived like that.

When Ryuk started with about that, the jelly already knew he didn't actually have everything. He didn't appear angry or surprised, thanks to a combination of him caring very little and sort of expecting it. Actually, the part that got his attention the most was the Home Ec. room. He gave Ryuk a dazed look. "Wait, are we at a school or something?" He wasn't sure what Ryuk's current situation was, but he'd mostly been assuming that he was living alone in a hotel. The school thing put a lot of sense to a few of the things he'd said earlier.

"Would that room even be open, I mean, isn't it a little late?" He was still rather hungry, and while he didn't care much about baking and whatnot, he still wanted to eventually eat some cookies. He didn't know anything about the school, so he naturally assumed that something like that would be closed so late at night.

"If it is open, I guess you can go get them." He starting changing colour to purple, as he realised that he didn't want to be left alone. "But... if you do, can I come too?" Was he actually scared of being alone? He'd never been like that before, he used to love being alone. Everything was really getting to him, it was as if a scientist was going to pop up and steal him if he was left alone for a few minutes. He couldn't let Ryuk know that was the reason though. "Just to, er, make sure that you don't grab the wrong stuff..."

The jelly boy noticed Ryuk giggling and saying that he was adorable despite the fact that it was just a normal question, but he let it pass in order to listen to what he had to say about the school. After Ryuk confirmed that they were in a school dorm, all he let out was a small "Huh." He wasn't sure what to make of it, it didn't change much, but it was still surprising to learn.

What came next was rather unexpected. The Home Ec. room was probably open? And it was because some of the students were nocturnal? Ryuk really wasn't kidding about being able to find stuff from fairy tales there. "A, actually? Like a whole bunch of people sleep during the day and roam around at night? it isn't just because they're teenagers? I always stay up pretty late... or at least I did." He wasn't quite sure if he'd be as compelled to stay up late as before, his sleep schedule was off to a bumpy start, so he still had no way of telling.

He didn't like the way Ryuk smiled and then reassured him that he'd be safe. It was either a coincidence, or Ryuk was on to the real reason he wanted to come with. Was he really that easy to read? As much as it bothered him, it did make him feel slightly safer. Although the last part was true and slightly discomforting, nobody in the entire area would know who he was or that he even existed in the event that something happened to him. He played it off as if he didn't care, but in doing so, was still pretty easy to read. "Alright cool, let's go then."

He watched Ryuk point him to the door, and walked up to it, quickly feeling very small as his eyes were only a couple inches above it. His height may have been just over the four feet mark, but that was thanks to his bell. He really looked like a kid who was a couple inches over three feet tall, wearing an oversized hat. He stood there for a second, just staring at the door knob, before sighing and reaching up a little to open it. He stepped outside and stayed put, waiting for Ryuk to guide the way.

The jellyfish boy looked down at his stomach at the mention of being hungry. The lollipop from earlier had helped with that, but it also made him realise that he was hungry in the first place. He wasn't starving or anything, but he was definitely still hungry for something else. "Just a little." He wondered how far the Home Ec. room was from where they were, it didn't sound like it was far, but it was possible that Ryuk was just being optimistic and it was really a ten mile hike away. He never really knew.

"So how far is this Home Ec room?" After asking how far it was, he realised there were a few other things that could prove important to clear up. "Oh, and are you positive that it's going to have the things you're missing? And is it really okay for us to just take it?" The only problem with his questions was how capable Ryuk would be at answering them. He wasn't sure how well Ryuk knew the school after all.

Once again, Ryuk brought his attention away from his problems. He was feeling pretty down after simply opening the door, but Ryuk tugged him forward and it fell seamlessly into the past. "Okay, okay, I'm going." He sped up to keep up with Ryuk, basically speed walking. He took note of the walls. Everything seemed, oddly normal. "Huh, I kinda expected something a little more... you know, magic-y. This just looks like a regular dorm." He never would've believed this was a school for the supernatural.
