KO TENJIN. 🌟 HANDEAD ANTHEM. 🌟 SUMMER.

[exaltruistic]

OPEN. 🌟

[exaltruistic]

[exaltruistic]

01. ) RESTLESS

//////////////////////////////// AMBERFALL ////

( Ko doesn't necessarily need allegiance to "his" season, does he? The Autumn districts seem far more up his alley than Summer. Displaced from his familiar home he may be, the notion of exploring such a place is still pretty exciting.

He just wishes he had those closest with him to share it with.

Ko finds himself with a wealth of books in the library; maybe a bit too much for his tiny frame. Putting them on a table, he gets to poring through the nearest book. There's quite a bit of purpose in his movements, the way he scans the texts ...

What is he after? )

02. ) BLIZZARD

//////////////////////////////// NIGHTWAKE ////

( Having only been here for a little while, Ko finds himself alone. Atrociously alone, and in a place where touch keeps one going. The prospect of turning to stone is a little frightening; who would be there to save him?

He'll have to figure out something quickly.

As his joints lock up on his way back home, he seems to panic a little where he stands. )

A-ah, no, not now—

[mayoninofukucho]

[Not to worry, Ko - the police is here to help! Granted, Hijikata isn't on duty; as a matter of fact he's on his way home too, but regardless, seeing the young man freeze up in place makes him stop to check on him.]

Is everything okay?

[exaltruistic]

( This is ... embarrassing for him, to say the very least. He's trying to get moving again, but there's nothing doing no matter how hard he wills his legs to move.

But still, he offers a slight smile to Hijikata, though he appears a little flustered. )

I just seem to have, ah ... frozen up.

( Then he adds, with a bit of a sardonic tone: )

I don't suppose you have some touch to spare?

GARA UKAI. 💀 HANDEAD ANTHEM. 💀 AUTUMN.

[shurajodo]

OPEN. 💀

[shurajodo]

[shurajodo]

01. ) THREE SEVEN

//////////////////////////////// UNDERGROUND MALL ////

( Sometimes its fine to act how people think he should. How they have him pegged. Not out of any resignation to those notions, but rather because it just happens to be what he'd like to do. People peg him as a rough gutterpunk, which is true. They also figure, sometimes, that he's a guy who likes to gamble.

Pachinko is his favorite, but sometimes the other stuff is decent too. In a place like this, he gravitates towards the familiarity of the underground as opposed to the magic and wonder of the rest of the joint.

Playing roulette is as close as he can get here, it seems; the cackle he lets out when he wins is loud and maybe a little wild. )

Hah! Fuckin' suck it!

[laststoryteller]

[ Yuki isn't one for gambling. He is one, however, for Gara's happiness. Hearing him and that triumphant cackle makes his heart leap, flying up into his throat. He can't help his grin. He never could around Gara.

Seeing him at the roulette table is such a joy. ]

Oh, Gara. You're vulgar even here. Did you win big?

[shurajodo]

Yuki—?! Man, I oughta bite you in fucking half. Where you been?

( He looks at Yuki and sees he is the same, and that he is well. Then he's turning to grab his chips and cram them into his pockets. )

Let's cash out, then.

AMAHIKO TENDOU. ✨ CHARISMA HOUSE. ✨ SPRING.

[wsa]

OPEN. ✨

[wsa]

[wsa]

01. ) FREE WSA TO GOOD HOME

//////////////////////////////// SOLARPEAK ////

( Well this won't do.

How is it that Amahiko Tendou, the World Sexy Ambassador himself, has ended up in a situation where he's touch-starved? His head hurts; is it the scorching weather, or is it simply how he feels under the lack of touch for going on a week?

After some kids decide to bury him in sand ... he finds himself stuck and stiff.

Stuck and stiff and abandoned. )

02. ) WALK, WALK

//////////////////////////////// NIGHTWAKE ////

( In some absurd-looking boutique, Amahiko is all dramatics. Pointing at someone clear across the store, practically bellowing: )

You there! The gorgeous one trying on shoes! Those simply won't do.

( And then he's walking closer ... )

Would you allow me to assist?

1

[abnormalizes]

Huh.

[Evangeline's not used to beaches as a place where people hang out and relax - she made her first sandcastle in Ellipsa this year. So when she sees someone being buried in sand, she doesn't know what to make of it.

...It's Ellipsa, so this probably isn't an overly elaborate method of leaving someone to die.]

Is that fun?

02

[urtitan]

[Hearing him shout across the store startles Frieda. She looks around, trying to find "the gorgeous one"... but then, the man walks up to her! At his question, she gives him a stupefied blink.]

What? I mean-- thank you, but I'm fine..!

[Granted, the fancy shoes she's trying on do not match her simple outfit consisting of a plain long skirt and white blouse, but they're not meant for everyday wear! She just would have felt self-conscious wearing her one and only designer dress out and about during the daytime!]

MIKU. 🔪 WORLD OF HORROR. 🔪 WINTER.

[doomed_anyway]

OPEN. 🔪

[doomed_anyway]

[doomed_anyway]

01. ) AND OUT OF PLACE

//////////////////////////////// NIGHTWAKE ////

( Miku and Rabies are taking to exploring a bit. This place is so unlike Shiokawa and its little village and all the creepy places around and outside it that its almost like she can't get enough of it. Not to mention the time she comes from is in Japan in the mid-eighties.

After a little while of kickin' around Nightwake, Miku is feeding Rabies some scraps of her sandwich, taken from a vending machine. )

D'you know how to steal shit, Rabies? ... I guess you wouldn't wanna, huh. Are you a little work-slave too?

( Rabies makes a 'boof' noise in response. )

02. ) IN WOLF'S CLOTHING

//////////////////////////////// NIGHTWAKE ////

( This place is exciting and all, but Miku can't exactly escape her curse. It activates, the sigils and markings below her left eye lighting up and glowing in a strange color.

This time, however, she doesn't recognize it for what it is. Sometimes its a toss up like that; whether she's cognizant of what's going on or not. )

Could you quit fucking following me?!

( Miku whips around to shout at someone who happens to have been behind her. Rabies paws at her leg. )

[happydreamed]

[Startled, Kantera holds his hands up in the universal sign of 'I'm unarmed, please don't yell at me'. His wings flap in alarm.]

I'm not following you? The grocery store is this way, miss.

1

[stavros]

Do you not have enough moon coins for the essentials?

[Here's a small teenage girl, wearing a tattered oversized scarf with a cross design and carrying a heavy side bag, looking Miku over with a frown.]

And here I had thought the allowance granted to new arrivals was enough until one could find employment.

DEKI HAKUSHIMA. 🎼 HANDEAD ANTHEM. 🎼 SPRING.

[drowningtheoria]

OPEN. 🎼

[drowningtheoria]

CLOSED. 🎼

[drowningtheoria]

[drowningtheoria]

01. ) FOR TENGAI

//////////////////////////////// NIGHTWAKE ////

( Deki is positively panting, unused to the physical exertion needed to walk a while. Chasing after a ghost, it seems; did he hear Tenchan's voice, did he see the flutter of his colorful coat around a corner? Or is it just the hopeful hallucinations of a man whose been shut inside for far too long?

He's a wreck. Can't go much further; people are staring at him breathing as hard as he is. Planting a hand on the brick of a nearby building, nearly doubled over. )

T ... Ten ... Tenchan?

[doodlings]

[ Perhaps there had an illusion at some point but the real Tengai is there to hear Deki calling out for him. He's excited to see him, everything had felt very wrong since he'd arrived in this unfamiliar place and it'd almost been like he was in a fog.

Deki's voice draws him easily and within moments he's at his side a hand on his back and bending to be face to face, because of course he does. ]

Dekki~ it's you.
