[If one positive thing can be said about Ryuunosuke Uryuu, it is that he is really damn persistent. He isn't the sort to give up easily. Or at all. Even if his attempts over the past week have not had the result he wants.

In other words, Ryuunosuke's been staking out the weird apartment down the hall that someone seems to live in, but never actually leaves. He isn't constantly watching it, but it's super weird that he's literally never seen the owner come or go, or see anyone else drop on by. Naturally, Ryuunosuke's curiosity has won out, so for the past week he's been attempting to get the owner to answer.

It started simply enough, he knocked on the door. This yielded no results, and from there he's been trying increasingly strange things to see if he gets a response. He wrote a note and slipped it under the door, he left food out, he left coffee out, he left tea out, and absolutely nothing has worked.

Today has been oddly quiet. Absolutely nothing left outside or under the door, no obnoxious knocking, nothing. If it were anyone else, perhaps they would have given up. But as previously stated, Ryuunosuke's one good trait is that he's persistent.

So at approximately three in the morning on an otherwise normal and quiet night, Wesker gets to hear the lovely sound of absolutely horrible dubstep playing very loudly right outside his door. This is the most metallic and screechy dubstep you have ever heard in your life. It's awful. Who allowed this. That isn't even music, it's just obnoxious noise.

>Investigate?]

[...Wesker has noticed the progressively stranger attempts to entice him out of his apartment like he's some sort of wild animal, and honestly he's content to ignore it; it's not like he sleeps much and he doesn't particularly need to go out, and as such it isn't as though any of this is anything he particularly needs to deal with.

The dubstep at three in the morning is...bad, but he's further back in the apartment and it actually takes him a while to register it; he isn't asleep - he sleeps for a few hours during the day, usually, because old habits die hard and it's always been easier for him to get more work done at night - and as such he isn't even precisely bothered. It's just noise, and it's not going away, and he may as well go see what it is because as it is it sounds like someone is trying to murder their roomba by throwing it in a trash compactor and he might as well tell them that he doesn't know what their roomba did to them but there's got to be a better way to dispose of it.

(Worst-case scenario, there is a person in the trash compactor? At which point someone should probably notify the police, even if it's probably not going to be him that does it.)

Either way, he's fully-dressed and seems rather awake and weirdly untroubled by this whole thing; he's dealt with worse at three in the morning. In...vestigating, he supposes.]

[The noise is definitely coming from outside the door, in the hallway. You can likely place it as coming from directly outside your door, so uh. That's a thing? That's a thing. Are you going to go out into the hallway to check to see if any roombas and/or people are being shoved in the trash compactor??]

[How much of a dick move is it to notify the Knights of a noise disturbance, because he is here for someone getting arrested on his doorstep tonight...]

[wow wesker don't be rude?????? open the damn door already!!!!!]

[ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, GOD

don't get all pissy with him if he shoots you, though, he's going to have his gun with him because he doesn't trust like this

he knows better than to aim it at anything he doesn't intend to destroy but he absolutely does have it, just to warn you]

[well at least you aren't pointing it at his face, progress!!

Anyway, when Wesker opens the door, he'll find Ryuunosuke leaning back against the wall opposite it, messing around with his communications device, which is clearly where the "music" is coming from. He looks up when he hears the door open and moves to shut the sound off.]

I was hoping that would work. I was starting to run out of ideas.

["starting"..........

He doesn't seem bothered by the gun at all, or the fact that Wesker is wearing sunglasses indoors at night.]

Did you need something, or...?

[like. there are more efficient ways to go about it.]

Nope. I was just curious who lives here. It's been awhile and I never see you coming or going. And you didn't answer when I knocked, so...

[Gestures!! Like this explains everything. Including and especially horrible shrieking dubstep at three in the morning.]

Nice to meet you, neighbor!

I don't have much to do with many of the people here, and very little cause to go out.

[Which isn't to say he never does, but it's not a very common occurrence.]

Either way, it isn't anything that should trouble you in the least.

Oh yeah, I figured that much out already. I'm not worried about being bothered or anything, I just wanted to meet you!

...Why.

Because I wasn't entirely sure you were a real person and not like. I don't know, a ghost or something? Or maybe something weird from another world that would never need to leave the apartment for food or whatever.

[...He hates that he needs to consider that.]

Fair enough, actually.

See! It's good to know what you look like at least, so I won't be surprised if I run into you at some point here!

[This was totally for Practical Reasons and not at all because Ryuunosuke's a goddamn weirdo!!!]

[No, he imagines you're just a fucking weirdo, honestly, that goes without saying.]

For someone so enthusiastic about meeting the neighbors, you have yet to introduce yourself, you know.

Oh yeah, whoops. I'm Ryuunosuke! Nice to meet you!

[...at three in the morning after blasting horrible dubstep to get you to come out??]

[...Oh. Naturally.]

Ryuunosuke Uryuu, by any chance, or just one with a similar name?

That's me! Let's see, that'd make you... Wesker, right?

[He's not really in the habit of talking to too many people for too long over the network, so by process of elimination, that seems about right.

...Also the man from the zombie not-quite-yet-apocalypse hanging out in his apartment most of the time makes a lot of sense.]

[...It does, but not for the reasons one probably assumes, um.]

Yes, of course.

I definitely wasn't expecting you to be my neighbor! But I'm certainly not complaining!

It isn't as though it comes with a set of rewards. We've just happened to meet before this, that's all.

I know, but it's a crazy coincidence, right?

I suppose so.

I imagine this isn't going to be the last time I see you, at any rate.

Absolutely not.

Am I going to have to play music outside your door super late at night or will you actually answer if I knock, though?
