seasonsrpg | imeeji house catch-all

[A: fussing]
[Kantera, on the days when he's home and not working at the clinic, is happy to greet anyone returning home at the door.]

Welcome back. May I put on some tea for you?

[Say yes.]

[B: scrapbook]
[Other times, you might catch him at the dining room table with several photographs and a set of scrapbooking supplies - tape, markers, some ribbons for trim. The photographs are Memory Camera pictures of people from his own world against a backdrop of Ellipsa - figures that Yuri or Saya or Lumine might recognize from his memories, especially Russell, but to anyone else would be unfamiliar.

Despite that most of the photographs are of smiling people - even Russell doesn't look quite so grim as usual - Kantera himself is melancholy as he puts together the scrapbook.]

...ah, I'm sorry. Am I taking up space?

[C: wildcard]
[idk I'm here for stuff]

Why would you make that assumption? It's your home too, isn't it?

That is true. I suppose I do have a right to be here...

[He just feels awkward anytime he's noticeably Having An Emotion.]

Of course you do.

[ She cranes her neck to get a better look at what he's been admiring. ]

Did you take those?

I did. The reward shop offers a 'memory camera' that can take photographs of those you imagine in your mind. These are my dear neighbors and friends from home.

[A blank-faced boy, a young man, a cheerful girl, a young woman, a priest who resembles her, a maid, an older man, and a woman in a cowboy hat. They're all here.]

Ooh! I can't believe you haven't talked about them until now. Tell me about them.

Forgive me for being so reticent to speak. I have a number of emotions to unpack about my world, still... But I hope this will help some.

[He points out a picture of the boy.] This is Russell. 'Tis his dream we were all in - my 'real self' was friends with him for some time. He is - was a terribly withdrawn young man, who struggled with understanding other people... but he was very kind, in his own way.

Well, I can see why the other you would have made friends so easily with him.

[ That's a pretty fitting description for Kantera himself. ]

--If it's too much, you don't have to share. You can talk on your own time.

I want to discuss it. I am, as far as I know, the only one who was brought out of that dream before its end - so I am the only one who remembers the inhabitants as they were. ...I would like them to be remembered.

[There may be people who still remember their 'real' versions, but those aren't the same people, exactly.]

The young man in the green coat is Tabasa, our village's animal keeper. He was the reliable sort, who would never refuse anyone a favor even if he might grumble about it a little. My Deliveryuu claimed he gave the best pets in the village.

'Deliveryuu?' What's that?

Ah - a type of full dragon. My own helped me run my shop, delivered products to customers and answered the phone when I was out.

...I know it seems extremely silly to have a type of dragon named after a fondness for doing deliveries, but it was a dream world, after all.

[ She does giggle. ]

I think it's cute. Did you give your Deliveryuu a name?

[That is a difficult question that shouldn't be so difficult.]
.
I... believe the only people in the dream with proper names were Russell's victims and the researchers who entered the dream alongside him... Certainly, I don't remember learning anyone else's name even in false memories of my life before Russell arrived.

[ Russell's victims... What does that mean, exactly?

She has about half a dozen questions, but she doesn't want to pressure Kantera. If she gives him space to discuss it all at his own pace, she's like to find out more than otherwise with the bonus of not causing him any undue distress. ]

I guess that's just how dreams work. You could give it a name now, if you like.

It seems rude to name it in its absence. It was very opinionated on many topics, and I expect they would have quite a bit to say about what they should be called.

[He certainly wouldn't like it if someone gave him a name while he wasn't there.]

A nickname, then?

[ That's usually without the other person's input, but not necessarily offensive... ]

...They do somewhat resemble my aibou from Imeeji, who I named Periwinkle. Perhaps some similar blue color name.

Hmm. Aqua? Cerulean? Teal?

Cerulean is a lovely name, I think.

Cerulean, then. And then some day... who knows. Maybe you'll get the chance to find out what name your Deliveryuu would like to choose for itself.

I would very much like to see them again someday, if I were able. -But, truly, seeing anyone from home would be wonderful.

[ Saya isn't two steps in the door when her husband is there, offering tea. She blinks twice, which melts into a warm smile. ]

I'll take an embrace first, if that's all right. And then yes, tea would be lovely. [ Clearly he has something he needs to talk about? ]

More than alright with me.

[A warm hug it is.]

Welcome home, my dear.

[Katsuki.... isn't good with strangers.

He's loud and obnoxious on the outside, but he's really quite introverted and shy. He masks it with his boisterous attitude, which is easy for him to fall into. But the problem he's facing right now is.. he's moving into a house full of people he's either not met or only met a couple of times. He doesn't want to be a bad house guest, so he doesn't plan on being TOO loud but then that leaves him not knowing how to really act.

He's still trying to adjust, too, to the fact that he and his boyfriend both disappeared at the same time almost two months ago. And he came back alone. Not only does that make him extremely lonely and depressed, but he's also livid that he can't pay rent without Izuku's paycheck. The asshole.

Katsuki isn't the kind to sit around and mope, however. Even though he's not sure what words to say, he at least knows what actions he can take to be a good guest. And so, one morning, there's the sound of sizzling and the smell of food cooking wafting from the kitchen. And inside is the blonde, spiky boy making a traditional Japanese breakfast.

He's currently working on omurice.]

[And here is Kantera, up to prepare breakfast for the household as he usually does - ah.]

Do you need any assistance?

[Kantera's voice startles Katsuki a little, earning a small flinch before he turns his head to look at him.]

If you wanna help, I'm not gonna say no.

[It's a lot of food to make for such a big household, after all!]

I figured I'd do somethin' useful since I woke up too early today.

[He'll get to helping, then.]

Did you not sleep well? Is there anything we could do to make your room more comfortable...?

Unless you can bring Izuku back, there's not really anything you can do.

[Katsuki plates his finished omurice, before he starts on another.]

I got too used to sleeping in the same bed, but I'll get unused to it.

...No, I'm afraid that's out of my power.

[But he will gently squeeze Katsuki's shoulder, if allowed.]

[Katsuki will look over at Kantera at that squeeze, but he doesn't react to it. Instead, he focuses on cooking and allows Kantera to comfort him.]

Maybe I'll buy myself a stuffed rabbit. A big one.

[He says that like a joke but.. that might help actually.]

[He lets go after a moment.]

That is an excellent idea. Saya has quite the collection of stuffed animals, they seem to help her.

Well if they help that basket case, then they'll help me for sure.

[He insults her out of love. It's affectionate.]

I'll hit up a mall later.

[...]

...You can come, if you want.

[Only knowing Bakugo keeps him from bristling at that insult.]

I would be delighted to. I left most of my collection in Tokyo-F, unfortunately.

Then we'd be killing two birds with one stone.

[A practical visit!! Now Katsuki will feel way less embarrassed.]

Grab that plate for me.

[He's ready to plate another omurice!!]

[Here you go, one plate grabbed and handed over.]

Do you have a favorite animal?

My favourite animal?

[Gonna just plate that up then as he ponders about that question.]

...cats. I'm not a big animal person in general, but they're the least annoying.

Ah, excellent taste. I do love cats myself.

[...A thoughtful pause.]

Most cats.

We have another resident chef, huh?

[ Lumine comes padding into the kitchen in her socks and pajamas and comes right up behind him to peek over his shoulder to see his progress. Katsuki might be shy about meeting new people, but she's certainly not. ]

[ Saya doesn't spend most nights at home, so she slips quietly in the front door at an early hour, not expecting the house to smell good quite yet. ]

Good morning, Katsuki. That smells great. [ She will refrain from sniffing around asking if she can have some, but she is going to inhale deeply and with great satisfaction. ]

[ Traditional Japanese is fine by him. For an alien from another planet, he knows a weird amount of Japanese recipes, with miso soup and omurice being among them. ]

Well, I don't have to ask if you're finding everything okay.
