↠↠ Speaking in third person was certainly... unique. The feline leered at Rinto and Cronas, his gaze switching between them. Of course, Cronas had insisted that there would be no fighting, which he greatly appreciated, but he could never be too wary. After being... well, after being killed just now, and almost immediately reviving (or so it felt), Tokoyami was just a little on edge. Then, the new arrival sat down, and while he himself stayed standing, he allowed himself to relax a little bit. His name and intentions? Well, the first question was easy enough, but he'd just woken up here. He didn't exactly have any intentions at all other than staying alive. Still, he wasn't sure he wanted to trust these people just yet.
"My name is... Tokoyami," he finally answered. His voice was about as revealing as black crayon on black paper, and his posture was confident, but he was not doing too hot. Fear gripped his paws and froze them there. With Pincher's arrival there were far too many people crowding him and he really, really, really wanted to retreat into the darkness of his room, but that didn't really exist anymore, did it? The crow-cat hybrid stood stock-still as he listened to the jaguar's words, and one stuck out to him.
"I actually did get stranded here, yes," he lied, though he knew no one would be the wiser. His voice held no signs of dishonesty and he was tired enough that he was sure it looked like he'd been trying to find a place to rest for the last day or so.
"I washed up last night and made my way inland before I passed out, if I remember correctly. I don't have any intentions at all with the... Typhoon, but if there is an extra bed to sleep in, I can offer something in return?"
The bengal girl's words hit his ears (wherever those were) and he just sort of huffed. Even in a world where Quirks were normal, all throughout his life Tokoyami had been getting weird looks for his bird head. He realized that it wasn't a normal head to have on a body, human or feline, thank you very much, but he was just too used to it to be anything more than annoyed. The feline's tail flicked dismissively and he focused on the next arrival, a brilliant golden lion with... a halo? Maybe people did have Quirks here, then. It would explain that, he supposed. Abbadon, hm? Considering Tokoyami had already given his name, he didn't feel like repeating himself, so he didn't. Instead, he narrowed his eyes warily at the sassy sarcasm that seemed to ooze from the male. Tokoyami had never been a fan of sass, if he was honest. It didn't get people anywhere except in trouble. While he wasn't afraid to speak his mind, he had learned to do it with some level of respect, or at least enough self control that he wasn't punished for it.
Rinto had seemed to shed his old personality and stepped into a new one as if it were an outfit to be changed. He quirked a lip (don't ask him how his beak worked that way), put off by how easily the turnaround had happened.
"Right..." he muttered, the word hiding under his exasperated sigh. "Because 'being antsy' means threatening to kill anyone you see. Understood."
Perhaps he liked sarcasm just a bit more than he let on.
He ignored the rest of Rinto's words, not really wanting to deal with him after their first little exchange, instead turning to the new arrival. A girl and her harpy eagle? He supposed that was pretty cool- he had always liked birds, considering his whole situation, and birds of prey had always been his favorite (maybe besides kiwis, because those looked so stupid).
"I am part bird," he answered, tone placid though he was wondering if it wasn't obvious enough with the beak and feathers. Her friendly tone really did make him feel a bit better, though- this whole situation was really a bit overwhelming, but getting a compliment (however small) put him a bit at ease. "Ah, thank you. I like your eagle." For a moment he wished that the rest of them would go away, and he could simply talk to this girl about where he was and what the next steps were to finding a place to stay, but that was a bit unrealistic. Instead, he turned back to Pincher or Cronas, blinking at them carefully.
"If joining means a place to stay, I am willing to do so. Just tell me how."
