[ Yamato's room is extremely bare, devoid of decor or flair. It has a lot of space because of that. The only pieces of furniture available other than his bed are 1) an arm chair with a green throw pillow on it, and 2) an empty bookshelf in the corner of his room. It'd almost feel a little eerie if not for the cool tones of green that are present in certain areas of his room: The blanket on his bed, the rug that covers the center of his floor, and the off shade of green on his roomba.
The main thing to note is that on the wall next to the entrance is a framed print of a large number 7, which is colored with a rainbow gradient that goes out of order: Blue, green, orange, sky blue, purple, yellow, and red. It's the only piece in his room that has colors in it that aren't white or green.
Still, for those who are looking to feel incredibly homey, this probably isn't the room for you. It's not like its owner really provides much comfort, either.
As of Week 3, there is a wooden table with green glitter and paint on it, standing in the middle of his room. It has a book on top of it. The table has a circular designs carved into it. There are also some traces of green glitter on his floor. ]

[Malice has absolutely been keeping an eye on who goes where to figure out where everyone's rooms are. After all, what if he needs to call on someone in the middle of the night for Reasons?? So clearly he doesn't want to knock on the wrong door in case any of these humans keep reasonable hours (they do not).
Which brings us to today. It's not quite nighttime, but it's later in the day which is a great time for Malice's current quest: locate Yamato and convince him to help make sugar. Surely this will not go stupidly when there's a vampire who can't eat sugar involved.
Knock, knock, buddy!! And if you even have a question who it is at the door, Malice's voice rings out:]
Hey, Yama! Need your help with somethin'!
[you are yama now. it's you. enjoy your dumb nickname.]

[ Yamato has mostly kept to himself today. He might've been spotted in the kitchen, or reading one of the texts in the library in the courtyard. Malice happened to catch him at a not-so-good time, unfortunately.
Malice is the reason why he wakes up from his nap.
He answers the door, groggy and not very chipper. ]
If it's another name tag, you can make it yourself, can't you? This old man needs his sleep.

Aww c'mon, I still haven't seen yours so you've gotta make one!
[...This was not why he came here, but suddenly this is his entire reason for being here, apparently?? Please make a third nametag, Yamato. You know you want to(???).]

No.
[ Aaaaand he's gonna close the door on Malice's face. R I P..... ]
[ Aaaaand he's gonna close the door on Malice's face. R I P..... ]
[wow????????]
Hey! You know I'm not gonna leave until you give in, yeah? I could stand here knockin' or yellin' all night - I'm nocturnal!
[i am so sorry to yamato's hallmates...]

[ This guy........
Well. He'd better come out before Kurapika kills them both.
The door opens again. This time, Yamato's holding two nametags in his hand. ]
I have two of these already. Why do I need a third?

[Smart man!! Because Malice would absolutely continue making a nuisance of himself.
Anyway, this just went from dumb to hilarious and now Malice is even more invested in getting Yamato a third nametag.]
'Cause clearly you ain't made the perfect one yet if you're not wearin' it around all the time! C'mon, it'll be fun! We'll put way more glitter on this one!
["""fun"""]

[ GLITTER? NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT??? Maya's attempt was enough!!! ]
If we do it, will you stop yelling? Kurapika might get mad. Also, no glitter. No glitter.

Aww, c'mon, you're no fun.
[But he's grinning as he says it and Malice holds up his good hand in surrender.]
But alright, no glitter an' I'll try to keep my voice down.
[...he's really not much quieter but this does seem to be An Attempt. Come on, it's not that late!!!]

Fine. Deal.
[ He is literally so tired but he's going to drag himself out of his (very sparse) room to follow Malice. ]
You owe me. I'm delaying the rest of my nap for this, you know.

Yeah, yeah.
[He waves his good hand at that and takes the lead!! Off we go to make you a third nametag!!
The first order of business is to grab a bunch of markers - which colors do you need? All of them. Once he's gathered all of that, Malice takes a seat nearby and gestures for Yamato to get started.]
You got any nicknames or anythin'? You could make a nametag that says somethin' different.

Nicknames? Let's see...
[ He's not even going to bother fighting malice on the array of colors because this is happening, I guess!! ]
'Yama-san' is one. Some people also just call me 'Nikaido'.
[ He's not even going to bother fighting malice on the array of colors because this is happening, I guess!! ]
'Yama-san' is one. Some people also just call me 'Nikaido'.
"Yama"'s pretty cute.
[Which is why he uses it!!]
Any meanin' behind the "san" part? Or "Nikaido"?
[Which is why he uses it!!]
Any meanin' behind the "san" part? Or "Nikaido"?
Oh, yeah. The "-san" part is just an honorific. The guys use it on me sometimes since I'm their senior.
[ He doesn't elaborate on who "those guys" are. ]
Nikaido's my family name.
[ He doesn't elaborate on who "those guys" are. ]
Nikaido's my family name.
Oh, so it's like... a form of respect?
[He's learning so much!! Shame he will not call you Yama-san.]
Humans don't really have family names where I come from. An' vampires' family names are... different.
[He makes a face at that. Vampire nobility..........]

[He makes a face at that. Vampire nobility..........]
Yeah, I'd say so. Don't be mistaken, I'm no one special or anything like that. It's used pretty often.
[ Please don't call him that. This man deserves no respect (affectionate). ]
Hmm. Different in what way?
[ Please don't call him that. This man deserves no respect (affectionate). ]
Hmm. Different in what way?
[rude!!!]
Gotcha. Other worlds sure are different, huh...
[He likes that, though. It's fun learning about all these different places with completely different cultures and norms!
But his look sours again at that.]
They're like... real pretentious. My ol' lady's name is Rosalie of Annihilation Eclipse. "Annihilation Eclipse" is her family, an' they insist on always usin' full names with people they're tryin' not to piss off, so it's just a huge pain in the ass.
An' all the names are like that too! Duskfang, Hell's Gate, Shadowbind, Crimson Depths... I could keep goin' but you get the idea.
[he is not the only edgelord in his world, sadly.]

[ He can't help but chuckle at that. What an interesting world Malice comes from. ]
Those are some very unusual family names -- or, well, they would be, if you guys were back on earth. "Duskfang" might work, but "Hell's Gate" might be a little much.
[ Pretty edgy. Somehow, hearing that this is commonplace in Malice's world kind of explains some things about him. ]
Is this Rosalie your guardian?

Yeah, they're a right pain.
[Says the guy who named himself "Malice"...]
She's... Nah, she's my mom. Though due to some shitty circumstances, I grew up without her an' she thought I was dead until we met up a few years back.
[Despite this, he doesn't exactly sound thrilled about it.]
I ended up ditchin' her, though. She's one of the more powerful nobles an' that life? It definitely ain't for me. She tried to be patient with me, but can you even imagine me talkin' all proper-like? No way in hell it was happenin'.

[ Something about that brings a rather earnest smile to his lips. It's not a big one, but it's certainly there, and it's a bit warmer than any other expression Malice has seen him make thus far. ]
I can understand that. Sometimes we're just better off without our parents looking out for us.
[ That smile quickly turns more somber, though. ]
It isn't needed. Half the time, it leads to more trouble than it's worth.

...Heh.
[It's quiet, and not quite a laugh, but Malice's expression relaxes back into the usual smile.]
Somethin' shitty happen with your folks too?

[ ... ]
Ah, there're plenty of people I know who have trouble with their families.
[ What a non-answer. He definitely has his fair share of family troubles, but he's hiding it, shoving it down again, doing exactly what Mitsuki and Nagi didn't want him to do. ]
It's nothing worth writing home about.

Not like I got a home to write to, but I get your meanin'.
[He props his elbow on the table and then his chin on his hand.]
I ain't gonna push; you don't have to talk 'bout it if you don't wanna. But if you need someone willin' to lend an ear at any point, I'll be around. You can count on me not to judge you too harshly for anythin' at least, yeah? 'Sides, you listened to me 'bout my mom, least I could do is return the favor.

He heard something like this just before he got here, didn't he? From a guy who cares way too much, who's too nosy and intrusive and doesn't care about the walls Yamato has carefully crafted over the years to keep everyone out. Those walls have been cracked, beaten and battered, but they're still there. They're still up, even if they're slowly starting to crumble.
As far as he can tell, Malice is the sort who'll mind his business and let the wall rebuild...or fall, all on its own.
It's appreciated. ]
Thank you.
[ He means that. Sincerely. ]
I'll be alright. It's a long story, anyway. We've got better things to worry about.
