LANGUISHMENT: Renji's house
In the Languishment game verse, Renji's house has been modeled after the Kuchiki manor that is residence to his captain Kuchiki Byakuya as well as Rukia, his childhood best friend. For several reasons, including Renji's desire to win Byakuya's approval, spend time with Rukia and generally find somewhere to belong, I've decided that Renji's dream home will reflect the manor even if those desires within him can become almost subconscious at times.
He's not one to be greedy, or strive to obtain more than he needs, so his home is a vastly scaled down version of what I can imagine parts of the manor would look like.
There are four rooms separated by 障子 (Shouji; paper sliding doors) and 襖 (fusuma; sliding screen doors) and are divided up by tatami mats which is seen in the diagram above~ The red lines note the divide in rooms. The broken red line represents a screen that can not be opened. For reference, this is the house grid with the tatami markings. The black lines surrounding the house represent the 縁側 (engawa)
The house is pretty empty, as I mentioned Renji doesn't desire many physical possessions but there are necessities and things that the house came with. Not shown are random things he leaves laying around, his zanpakutou and things he's received from others. The coloured dots are a legend that is explained below the picture.
*The red dividers in this picture note the location of the 障子 (shouji; paper sliding doors) and where they can be opened.
*Bright blue dividers represent the location of the 襖 (fusuma; sliding screen doors).
*Walls with no coloured lines are unable to be opened up.
To get a feel for the general interior of the house without furnature, refer to this picture
The 襖 (fusuma) are decorated with a sakura motif that looks like this
NO COLOUR O Porch that sticks out from the house, but still protected by the roof. Past this porch is the 縁側 (engawa)
O 縁側 (engawa;) This is somewhat of a traditional 'in between' area. Shoes come off here before entering and stepping on tatami. Alternate view of 縁側 from inside the house.
O Mini fridge where Renji keeps his food. He doesn't need a large fridge because he eats too much too quickly to need anymore space.
O 座布団 (Zabuton; traditional flat pillows) are stacked up to be used for sitting on the floor, or just as pillows.
O A camilia flower sitting on the bedside table.
O A lava lamp sitting on the bedside table.
O A futon. Renji's bed will not look unsimilar to this one, but his blanket is tie-dyed.
ONO PICTURE. This is where Renji keeps his clothes. Folded, more or less (not) in a pile on the floor. Amongst this pile is a pink floral yukata, jeans, t-shirts (plain white, tie-dye, random patterns that he thinks are badass, extra leis from the bar, extra bandanas, socks, and his underwear which are a mix of boxers and fundoshi.
O Garbage can
O 火燵 (Kotatsu) Traditional Japanese table that has a blanket for a covering. It gets toasty under there, as they are heated underneath. You can also sleep under there, which is pretty awesome.
O 座椅子 (Zaisu; Japanese style flat chairs) These are for sitting on, yep.
O Low to the ground table. 座椅子 are also featured in this picture.
O Traditional bath is located in it's own seperate room from the toilet. There is a bucket, some salts and soap stored on the tub's edges.
O NO PICTURE. The toilet. I'm more or less unaware of how old Japanese toilets were besides either a hole in the ground or an outhouse. Those right on the ground open Japanese toilets make me very unsure, so I'll leave what this toilet is like up to your discretion. Japanese people don't talk about their toilets apparently.
OLiquor Cabinet. This is hanging on the wall.
