[Okay, time to dial some random number for this whole Bingo thing...
Whenever someone picks up, Kurt will open by humming:]
Ring ring ring ring banana phone!

You've got 5 seconds to say something better than that.
ok
[and bam, he's there for the second time this week, this time more knowledgeable in wedding registries. and also wearing a shirt. for once.
he doesn't bother to wave down baren from his seat on a bench. just keeps on reading a local pizza place's flyer. apparently that's more interesting.]

[Baren's been alternating who he checks up on each day, to be honest. There's some part of him that wants to take inventory of everyone, make sure that they're alive. Chuuya's texts work for that and so do the occasional notices that Zoro is still breathing. It still doesn't feel like enough, though.
It's with a bag of groceries that Baren is legitimately on his way to to the docks to make Zoro dinner when it hits him, belatedly, what the fuck where does Zoro even live now.
And he doesn't quite know what he's feeling when he finds Zoro outside the subways, asleep.]
You moron!!
[But that's a good start, coupled with chucking a giant wrapped up box at him.
He made a bento. But more than one because Zoro eats like a fucking gorilla. So it's a five-tier bento with a shitton of fish and meat. Yeah.]

[The bento tower knocks him off the edge of the piece of rubble he was sleeping on. He tumbles away. Down, down, down, dow–ooh, stopped by another jagged piece of rubble. Not Great. He actually shouts in pain, too.
At least the bento is all miraculously intact. He sets it down gently on the ground as he sits up.]
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

hey, zoro
you holding up alright?
saw a couple of those posts on retrospec, wanted to make sure your ass is still alive over there

yeah i think i almost died last week. it's no big deal.
[Hello honey, I'm back from the void.
Okay so that's not really the message - whenever Zoro makes it back to his garage after the week is over, he'll find that the driver's seat of all the cars are covered in passive aggressive sticky notes. Different insults like STUPID, MORON, IDIOT, FOOL - pick your poison. They're probably sticky notes from Retrospec's basement.
But there's also something left on a table. A new set of keys - with a rainbow keychain - sitting on top of another sticky note. On that sticky note, there's just an address and "don't forget to bring the keys, stupid." There's also one small printed wallet-sized photo of an oceanscape with reefs and a shipwreck in the background.
Whenever Zoro actually chooses to go exploring and check out the address, he'll find that his keys obviously work for the location. It's a studio apartment that's decently high with a nice view of the city. All the paperwork's already been done in Zoro's name because Baren hates putting his name and signing things and it's barely furnished. There's basic groceries in the fridge and utensils in the kitchen at least, plus a bed - but back to that later.
One side of the studio is kept entirely clear so that one wall isn't blocked by anything. From floor to ceiling, there's portrait-sized photo after photo of different ocean scenes. They're not the ocean that Zoro knows, definitely an alternate reality one with creepy monsters and weird-looking fish. It's not colorful, not yet, but there's definitely a small iPad on a table playing a loop of a video that Baren took while away. That is vibrant with blues and greens.
As for Baren himself -
Well, he'd intended on not being there when Zoro found the apartment, but also he's exhausted. Some of his clothes are already in a drawer if Zoro goes looking and it seems that he paused his day to occupy the bed of a nap, curled up like a cat and not waking up unless Zoro made a lot of noise when he came in.
Well.
Welcome home, Zoro.]

[Zoro spends a good hour or three picking the post-it notes off his cars after a long, tiring day of fighting. The resignation to his fate doesn't prevent him from feeling slight annoyance at the rainbow keychain. He yanks it off and leaves it on his work bench. Even the insulting note on the keys earns a frown. Only the picture manages to soothe him. A shot of the ocean and all is forgiven.
It takes him a few days before he has the energy to travel to the address. The building is fancy–more high-class than he's used to. More sophisticated than he's comfortable with. He steps out of the taxi and consults the post-it for the address. Despite that he still winds up at the wrong door. It takes him three tries before he arrives at the door. Unsurprisingly the key fits in the door; he peeks in before entering. Nothing. He steps in.
His first impression of the building was right. The studio is more extravagant than he's used to. Something he'd expect to see in a romantic comedy and not his own life. Was this Baren's idea of a joke?
And then he sees it–the photo collage mural plastering an entire wall. Even in grayscale the ocean remains reassuring. He skims his fingers over the photos, regarding each alien animal with silent reverence. He sits with them for awhile, captivated by the landscape he had long ago fallen in love with. Halfway down the wall the video catches his eyes and it's breathtaking. A slice of home he thought he'd lost. He carries the ipad with him as he explores what's left.
The kitchen is stocked with both kitchenware and food but it's only when he finds Baren's personal drawer that the significance of the apartment reaches him.
This is the replacement.]
Idiot.
[Muttered fondly as he slides the drawer closed. The fondness lives on in a smile as he moves to the bed, shaking his head at Baren's sleeping position.]
Idiot. [Muttered again as he pulls the sheets over him, lightly ruffling his hair. Then he moves back to the collage room and, quietly as he can, orders Baren's favorite takeout.]

[It's radio silence after the big fight.
Baren's essentially off the grid between taking a long nap and looking out for the people he needs to look out for - well, most of them. He still doesn't bother talking to Zoro for a while.
It's only a few days late and when he doesn't have anything to do that his feet take him to the apartment, using his own set of keys. He contemplates leaving those on the counter and not picking them up again. He thinks he'll make that decision later.
For now, the whole side of the wall that's covered in pictures of the fake ocean sure are blue.]
... oh.
Good job, me.
[He should probably look for Zoro now, if only to see that he's still alive.]

[The sink stops and the bathroom door creaks open revealing Zoro in his signature open button-up shirt. He's still drying his hands on a towel as he comes out, stopping only when he notices who's standing in the doorway.
In the days of silence, his anger has abated. There's none as he watches Baren, resting the washcloth over his shoulder.
The first time he opens his mouth he closes it soon after. Swallows. Looks down and wets his lips. Then tries again.]
... You come for your clothes?

i told you i'm a bad teacher right?
i remember the time you nearly drowned me in pink putty.
[Wait what happened to the rest of his text?]
I can get you other kinds of pants. I know my way around the shops.
[Okay that's not what he wanted to initially write but hey, it could have glitched out.]

a fun fight's always worthwhile. blindfolds sound fun.
[WHY... DOES HE ASSUME IT'S FIGHTING. RIGHT AWAY.]
[WHY... DOES HE ASSUME IT'S FIGHTING. RIGHT AWAY.]
suppose if you think about it, there's a lot you can do with prehensile vines.
[ Yu had honestly intended to wait to contact Zoro about the payment; maybe for whenever seemed best, after Baren got hurt like that.
But once he saw the amount he knew he had to call. ]
While it was very kind of you, I can't accept this much money for healing Baren. I consider him a friend, and I'd do it for free.

Then tear up the check and don't tell me. I'm not taking it back.
[welcome home, zoro!!
it's probably been a long day of filming or almost dying, but now that he's wandering into his home sweet home he'll find
that it's really fucking aesthetically pleasing? like sure they probably haven't bothered to furnish it that much but now alongside the beautiful ocean wall, there's now just a bunch of lovely roses tucked in places randomly. in the kitchen, there's even a pretty vase of them displayed and everything
but there's like
no explanation otherwise
so there you go]
