Who: Kashuu Kiyomitsu adornmental & you!
When: Slightly before and during the event
Where: Apartments + around town!
What: Kashuu deals with forgetting stupid things, being cold forever and memory shares
Rating/Warning: Memories of sword death and emperor death and probably some other deaths, it's time for a death party

A, swordhaus:
[SO, sometime before the wispy spirit animals show up but after the elemental effects set in, Kashuu can be found... freezing his ass off. It only took him the better part of a day to figure out what was triggering his weird flashbacks, so now he's sitting by the open window with a fan in as few pieces of clothing as possible (which is still a lot, honestly), eating a popsicle. He's definitely shivering... Maybe he went too far in the opposite direction?!]

This is so stupid! This is seriously the worst—! [But you know what will keep his soul warm even in the face of hypothermia? Salty, salty complaints. MMM, YES.

Anyone wandering by either in the apartment itself or walking past the window will be dragged into this salt session, either with a jealous look and a:] What, are you warm? [Or, a sympathetic look to anyone else who seems to be trying to become an igloo, and a peace offering of another pospicle.]

B, park/dojo:
[The wispy animals have shown up! Kashuu's already tried and failed to talk to his, but he does at least have some control over it, being a spirit himself.

Granted, he has to actually be paying attention to it in order for perfect control to be A Thing, and he can't devote his attention to it 24/7...

So here are the perfect times to bump into his little fox friend; either when he's doing his best to lead a class in the dojo despite all of the tomfoolery going on, or when he's on his way to or from said building and trying to plan the rest of his day out on his phone. His attention is gone and WHOOSH, SO IS THIS SKITTERISH FOX. That catches his eye, at least, though maybe not quite fast enough--]

Woah, hey— Watch out!

[AND THERE HE GOES, TOO, tripping over this fox that he can't even touch. Congrats, you get a double whammy of being knocked to the ground and then slammed with a memory.]

C, shopping district:
[By now, he's bumped into enough people that the lovely memory loss side effects are starting to show...

On one hand, he got off pretty lucky?! He hasn't forgotten any people yet, or significant events - as far as he knows, anyway. On the other...]

Ow—! Ugh... Sorry, sorry. [He may have just crashed into you/a store mannequin/a display case, because he's wearing some pretty tall heels but he sure doesn't remember how to walk in them gracefully anymore. NICE.

His sad, sad fox is still tailing him around out here too, of course, though he's getting a little irritated now that he's put two and two together. This thing needs to stop touching people?! Just, stop! Just stop!! While he's picking himself/you/this mannequin arm off the floor, he gives it a miffed look, even though it's already darted off again.]

This is your fault, y'know. Just calm down for like, five seconds!

WILDCARD:
[Hit me up with any scenario that floats your boat!]

[ooc; If we haven't plotted anything out yet, just let me know if you want a good or bad memory! If there's nothing specific you want, I'll just reach into my paintrain grabbag and give you something random. I'm down for memory swaps too, of course!]

Comments

[adornmental]

[When your irritation betrays you when you try to pull off the cool, unbothered card...

At least Nakigitsune doesn't ask about it. He sighs, eventually trying to rise up from his nauseous, crumpled heap on the ground and offering a hand up.]

Need some help? [And then a beat as he considers the question - and the hopefulness, because he's not sure what the hell they're supposed to do if it is permanent. This isn't the kind of thing someone just adjusts to...]

Might be because we made some people angry with that whole getting shoved into weird places thing.

[yaayaa]

[Imagine permanently forgetting color coordination....but ah, Naki stares at the offered hand, because. Hadn't Kashuu not wanted his hand earlier? Is it okay now?]

I'm still warm. [Just in case.]

It seems like a strange thing to punish us for...though admittedly Nakigitsune and I don't quite understand how many of these people think.

[adornmental]

[He would have to go live in the mountains where no one could ever see his shame...

But ah - he'd momentarily forgotten, and after a second of consideration, he shakes his head and keeps his hand extended.]

It's fine. Just don't hold on too long. [Not that it'd be a problem with Naki, but still... He can't just leave a punk on the floor!]

I don't really get it either, but they've kinda done similar stuff before, I'm pretty sure. They get mad whenever we do things they can't see coming, y'know?

[yaayaa]

[Well. Okay. Taking the hand! Just long enough to pull himself up! He's a good sword.]

I suppose that's true... [Fox looks over at wispcat, who quietly starts licking itself.] Though I feel we often have little control ourselves, over the things we find ourselves doing here.

[adornmental]

[A true good bean... Kashuu braces himself as though he's expecting to be unfortunate enough to have a flashback triggered despite efforts to be careful, but he's mercifully spared this time.]

—Yeah, it's pretty stupid, but I guess that's just how things are. [He wants a refund, honestly. This whole town gives him a headache.]

Keep your guard up, okay? This is probably just the start of whatever dumb thing is on its way, unless we get really lucky.

[yaayaa]

The same to you, Kashuu-dono! Let us all do our best to stay safe, in whatever dangers this place decides to give us.

[Especially considering the recent dangers they've gone through....Naki pushes that thought away, instead holding up a foxhand for Kashuu.]

Teamwork.

[adornmental]

[TEAMWORK... Naki and his fox are the purest beans who must be protected at all costs. There's a little appreciative laugh in response to both the sentiment and foxhand gesture, and he nods in agreement.]

Right, right! That's gonna be our biggest defense here, I think. [TEAMWORK. Safety in numbers and all that, plus they're already used to working together.]

Hey— What were you doing here, anyway? If you're heading back home, I'll come with you. I think I've had enough of being outside today.

[yaayaa]

We were just, ah...windowshopping, I suppose?

[Actually they'd been worrying about the wispcat before Naki saw that display from the street, but.]

We would be happy to return with you, if that is where you are headed - Nakigitsune could do with a break from the crowds.

[adornmental]

Yeah, that's where I'm heading now. [NO MORE. NO MORE!! At least if his fox runs into people in swordhaus, they're all people he trusts.]

Let's get going, then. Oh— But we can stop by for a slice of cake at that bakery that just opened on the way back! Sound good?

[Maybe he's still just wanting to spoil Nakigitsune after his rough and tumble week...]

[yaayaa]

[Naki does in fact perk up very slightly at the offer of cake. The nod might be more noticeable? The fox is most noticeable of all, of course.]

That sounds like a wonderful idea! Perhaps we could get something with fruits on top...like strawberries or raspberries or grapes!

[Foxes can't eat frosting but they sure can eat fruits!]

[adornmental]

Sure, sure! They have a really great cake that's covered in strawberries, and some macarons that have raspberries in the center. You can take a look when we get there and pick whatever you want, okay? My treat.

[After one last glance to make sure his fox is by his feet again and that the display has been (mostly) righted, he'll turn and gesture for Naki to follow. ADVENTURE TIME.]
