[OPEN] did you miss me?

Who: Tenka aka "Dad Extraordinaire" ([personal profile] sunshrouded) & ALL OF Y'ALL TBH
When: Sliiiiightly forward-dated to 2/15, so right after the Nexus Code event!
Where: assorted... Kumounji House & entertainment district mostly!
What: Guess who's back (back again), Tenka's back. Tell a friend. -- also he fulfill his dream of becoming a Sidequest Dispenser.
Rating/Warning: just your usual brand of tenka idiocy, maybe some tears, probably some punching

[a. closed to kumounji house residents ; farts back into existence]

[Tenka doesn't have a calendar in his room.

Why would he?

But what he does have, when he materializes in his futon, wearing the same robe that he went to bed with, is a vague feeling of dread. He went through a weird sequence of dreams, he thinks. Sitting through that powerpoint again and then -- after that there was a weird space where he could walk through entire buildings. Where he started to feel... intangible again. It was remniscent enough of the time that he lost his body that he felt chills.

Yet his preoccupation with himself was short. After all, Shirasu was there.

Shirasu was there and wasn't there all at once -- he was in that space, unresponsive even as Tenka yelled at him and tried to punch him. But there was no returning punch, no weary purple eyes, not even a motion of acknowledgment. He was well and truly there and.... not.

So Tenka is tired as he walks out into the living room then, settling himself at their low table and slumping over it, just as he would've three weeks ago.

His first word upon his return:]


Teeeeaaaaaaaa.

[ . . . . . well?]

[b. semi-open to adoptees & others ; emerges from the void for noogies]

[Most people just knock or ring a doorbell. Maybe knock three times in small bursts if they're feeling antsy. But here's Tenka, banging on the door instead, complete with yelling:]

Heeeeyyyyy!! Is anyone in there?! Hellooooo?

[At least it's a voice you probably haven't heard in a while.

Someone clued him in that he's been gone for 3 weeks. So he's got about 3 weeks of visits to make up for, he thinks.

(Punch him.)]


[c. OPEN ; tell me what you see ]

[If nothing else, you might've seen this guy's face around. Yet he appears to no longer be Missing and is instead sitting on a bench somewhere. He seems to be puzzling over something very, very deeply. Feel free to bug him if you know him when he's still in the middle of his work of art (which consists of nothing more than a few brush strokes).

Because otherwise he's going to sit up suddenly and thrust out the page to you. It's definitely the kanji for 'lake'. But here's time for messing with the language mechanism and/or an impromptu Rorschach test:]


What does this look like to you?

[What a quack.]

[d. OPEN ; quest master tenka, disaster in the making]

Hey, you!!

[Doesn't that sound like a promising start to a conversation....

Alas, escape is futile as Tenka completely messes up the rhythm of the closest person's day as he steps in front of them and offers them the sunniest grin. (Don't trust it.)]


You look like you've got some free time. Think you can help a guy out with something?

[Sidequest: start!]

[e. choose your own adventure, hit me with anything, i can take it! ]

[Komaeda looks back to Tenka, just in time for the hair ruffling. He ducks his head only slightly because oh. Hair ruffles are nice, okay? He peeks up though. Tenka did? Even after the whole disappearing thing?]

Ah... of course not. Though... it may be inevitable. That's sort of how my luck works. I was lucky enough that you wanted to consider someone like me a friend that I assumed you'd gotten caught in the backlash of my luck when you disappeared.

So for what it's worth, I'm really very sorry about that. [Here. Have an apologetic little bow. He's sorry if his luck contributed to your being vanished, Tenka. But he's pretty convinced it did.]

I'm happy to see you're back safe.

[What hey no don't snort at him he's SUPER SUPER SERIOUS HERE. Luck is very serious business. YOU DON'T KNOW TENKA YOU HAVEN'T YET SEEN.

He blinks though and lifts a hand.]
Please be kind to my head; I think it's delicate.

[Totally delicate. But at the mention of luck canceling out, Komaeda's eyes go wide.] Ah... but that was bad luck already canceling out good. This is definitely good luck that you're back, but that means there's more balancing that's got to be done.

[Komaeda looks up and around like he's expecting the ceiling to come crashing down on their heads or perhaps lightning to strike.]

[What no headlocked how has it come to this?? Komaeda squawks in surprise, but it's kind of nice. Being treated friendly like this.]

Fate? I'm not sure I believe in anything quite like that... I mean, certain people are meant for greater things than others, but even that is still up to choice and...

[Hang on now.] You were? [Then, well, quieter.] I'm glad you did come back. Whatever sort of luck it is.
