[ The ding announces Yuji's arrival better than anything else does, and for a little while he looks utterly shellshocked, standing in the middle of the lobby as he tries to figure out where he ought to go and what he ought to be doing, with everything a little too explosive in his mind. Wrapping his mind around everything is a difficult task when it still feels as though there's charcoal or the metallic taste of blood on his tongue; he's here for a reason.

He chose to be here. It's better to be here at home, even if the anxiety of leaving everything behind makes him feel as though he might break into pieces right now. He has a room he can go to, and that seems like the best option, considering his instinct is to break down and cry himself into exhaustion for a few hours. Feeling a little bit like he's scraping himself off the floor, he begins to make his way up to the room on his keycard.

Along the way, it would be easy enough to stop him and force him into a conversation - he's not trying to get anywhere fast, not when it looks as if someone has cut the very heart out of him, and he doesn't do much more than nod at anyone he comes across. Clearly, something bad has happened and Yuji is doing his best to compartmentalise it all and make it make sense, even though that is practically impossible. ]

[ "Settled in" might not be something that Yuji would claim to have done thus far, but he's feeling a little bit better about the whole situation.

Or he was, before the dog ears appeared on top of his head, a cute pink tail flicking behind him.

Having wandered away from his room, he's ended up hovering in the middle of a random hallway, lifting his hand and tweaking at the ears on top of his head. They twitch, one way then the other, and then flatten to the top of his pink hair as his tail droops. For someone who tries very hard to hide how they're feeling - let's pretend everything is fine and he doesn't feel like crying at all times! - this is a pretty distinct way of showing off the ongoing heartache that he's suffering through.

At one point during his wandering, however, Yuji stops and stands straight, as if someone's shoved a bamboo pole down his shirt. His eyes widen, and his head tilts one way then the other, painfully doglike as he sniffs the air. There's something that's caught his attention, but he's struggling to place what it is - he never scented his mentors as a doglike hybrid before, so he can't quite figure out what is going on other than he wants to find them.

So, throughout the day, you might find what seems like a teenager with the zoomies running around the hotel, trying desperately to find something that he can't place. ]

Excuse me! I need to get by!

[ Yuji has got to stop eating weird things.

He should've known from the ears and then the shape of the crackers, but he was hungry and he grabbed the first one that he could get his hands on, swallowing it down without hesitation. As a consequence - well, there's now a rather bright pink akita inu sitting in the main lounge, eyes comically wise as he looks around the room from the new angle of much, much lower to the ground. ]

Huh?

[ Lifting himself up onto his legs, Yuji turns and twists, as though he's trying to chase his tail, before he drops down to the ground with a low, whine-like groan. ]

I gotta stop eating weird things.
