Who: Touka Kirishima (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ukakus) and you!
When: OOC: 5/15 - 5/21 / IC: 7/7 - 7/10
Where: Residential District, Metro Rail Station, Gymnasium, a random coffee shop.
What: Obvious post-canon update log. Amazing.
Rating/Warning: Possible Tokyo Ghoul:re spoilers in the threads.
OPTION A: RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT (7/7, POST-INTRO LOG)
[Standing in front of an apartment, there is one (1) young woman. Maybe you're on your way to check up on a friend. Maybe you're on your way in/out of your own apartment. Or, maybe, you're just a weirdo who likes to take pleasant walks through random apartment buildings. Whatever the case may be, it doesn't change the fact that she's still standing there. Also doesn't change the fact that she may or may not be starting to creep you out, considering she doesn't seem to keen on opening the door. In fact, she seems to be pretty content staring blankly at the card in her hand.
Weirdo.
In any case, feel free to bug her for... whatever reason. Maybe she's standing too close to the middle of the hallway and kind of blocking your way? Or maybe you live on this floor, and distinctly remember someone younger and grumpier looking living in that particular apartment. This multiple choice adventure is in your hands, friend.]
OPTION B: METRO-RAIL STATION (7/8)
[So. Coffee vending machines. Always speedy, reliable, and available for those who need a quick fix while waiting to catch the next train, right? Right.
Touka is just going to slide her card. Press a button to select "black coffee". Wait. Watch as her cup is prepared. Open the hatch. Remove the cup. And then... peer inside.
It's a cup of hot water.
Amazing.]
... You're joking.
[SIGHS, WOEFULLY. She should have seen this coming??? Yeah.
Just gonna toss it out, despite being about a yard away from the trash can. Here's to hoping it doesn't hit the rim and accidentally spill over, falling on someone's foot. Or leg. Or arm. Or — you get the point.]
OPTION C: GYMNASIUM (7/9)
[You know those weird as heck exercise balls? Well. Here's one of them. And here is Touka, making use of it.
She's doing pretty well, all things considered. Aces those roll-ins, masters those push-ups, pretty much owns those bridges, and so forth. You get the idea. It looks like she's got a really good handle on using the exercise ball in her work-out routine — until she gets to the back extensions. One, two, three back extensions in... and then the ball proceeds to roll out from under her.
Her face hits the ground with a pretty nasty sounding thwack. Goodbye, dignity. It's not like she needed it to survive or anything.]
OPTION D: COFFEE SHOP IN THE MIDDLE OF HECKING NOWHERE (7/10)
[Working for someone else after being your own boss is super weird, but here she is. It's not like she can quit without there being any financial repercussions right now, so. Not much else to do but grin and bear it. Should your character be a customer entering the coffee shop, she'll greet you from behind the counter with a friendly smile.]
Welcome! Let me know when you're ready to order.
[And if you happen to be a returning customer, or even a regular... well. Maybe you recognize her. Wasn't she a little younger the last time you were here? Huh.]
WILDCARD (7/7 - 7/10)
[Remix one of the above scenarios or make up your own! Go wild.]

WILDCARD (7/7 - 7/10)
no subject
[ Small talk is, well, small. Time to somewhat steer the conversation to where he wants it to go. ]
Do you think you yourself have remained unchanged as well?
[ Obviously, she's physically changed, but she's not as...full of bluster with him. Mildly exasperated in dealing with him, instead of trying to brush him off. Maybe experiences have mellowed her out? ]
no subject
[Think of it as preserving the taste of the beans, jeez. "Bitter" and "unchanged" are very unpleasant sounding words, when it comes to food. But as for her—]
... No, I don't think so. It would be strange if I hadn't changed even a bit after all this time.
[Losing everything and nearly everyone in one fell swoop tends to mellow people out, unfortunately.]
no subject
[ Next time he talks about coffee, that is. He doesn't make it a habit to eat or drink much at all, purely for the social factor, so... ]
Indeed. ...Do you mind if I ask how long "all this time" encompasses?
[ He's heard of it happening; people disappearing and then reappearing in the colony changed. Or rather, their existence allowed their original world's timeline to flow...something like that. ]
no subject
[She's not expecting him to fix it now, so it's okay. Kind of.]
No, I don't mind. It's been... three years. Almost four, if I'm not mistaken.
[Three years since Anteiku, plus the months that Kaneki was gone after Aogiri took him. Now that she's here again, it boggles her to remember how happy she was she was back then. It almost makes her wish she hadn't gone back home, but that's cowardly.]
no subject
I take it much has happened. ...Do you find it strange to return here, a land both familiar and not?
no subject
Somewhat, yes. [But stranger things have happened.] It hasn't been hard, though, getting used to this place again.
[Which probably says something about her.
She'll be finishing up his order by now, however, serving it and delivering it to him. Enjoy, dude.]
no subject
[ He takes the cup of coffee, staring at its contents for a few moments, and then pays for it with his credit card with a swipe. He's pleased with the order, but he still has a somewhat flat expression on his face, thinking about her words. ]
Do you find this place...preferable?
[ Dare he ask? ]
no subject
[Make it rain, Saiduq.
She seems to find the notion that she might find this place preferable funny, though, because she gets this weird look on her face. Like she's not sure if she should laugh, or smile, or what.]
No way, I'd rather be anywhere else than this shit hole. I'm just good at adapting.
[It comes with having to uproot her life several times.]
no subject
[ Too well for most people to notice when something's up. He isn't as familiar with her as he'd like to be, so that weird look on her face just confuses him a little further. ]
no subject
[It's not like she lets most people get familiar with her, anyway. Not when she has to pretend to be a human every day, every hour.]
no subject
[ Don't get him wrong, he loves change and adapting, loves watching it happen. But at his core, there are some things that cannot be changed, and pretending otherwise will cause him to slip up eventually.
Besides, humans change so often that some seek stability and certainty, when the changes are too great for them to handle. ]
no subject
[Spoilers: It's very, very, very, very tiring.]
But I'm sure some people would.
