[open] And as you know I have a gigantic heart

Who: Rise Kujikawa and OPEN!
When: 7/19-7/23 (IC) aka event-time!
Where: Various prompts
What: It started with a goat. Then it all just went downhill from there. AKA Rise Kujikawa and the mysterious memories event.
Rating/Warning: N/A for now, will update if needed



[It started with a goat. Honestly, at first she thought that she'd dreamed it, that maybe it was just an extension of the white feathers she saw in her dreams recently but no. She wakes up and there sure is a wispy little goat at the foot of her bed. She stares…and the goat bleats flatly at her. It's a sad-looking thing, but as she tries to get closer it seems to disappear immediately.

Wow. That's weird.]


A.) is for Academy

[It's a normal school day. With everyone back from the dead and her worries a little more at ease, she can concentrate a little easier. It's quiet in the Study Hall period of the day and she's working on some homework when she spots the goat out of the corner of her eye…approaching a wastebasket. She hasn't realized it can't change much of the world around them, but she'll get that memo as soon as she gets up and stealthily tries to approach the animal.

Of course, the goat suddenly moves and it startles her and her arms suddenly pinwheel as she yells, trying to balance on her high heels so she doesn't bite the dust. Are you going to catch her? Let her fall? Fall with her? Sorry about all of that.]


B.) is for Bad Places Rise Shouldn't Wander

[This goat is seriously way more trouble than it's worth. She's not sure where it came from or why it's in such poor condition, but she's taken to following it around the colony to make sure it doesn't get too far out of her sight. It's for that reason she doesn't even realize she winds up right in the middle of the Pleasure District. The goat's paused, and if it's possible it gives her a knowing look despite its lack of real expression.

(Is it possible that this goat knows about her dungeon?)

She ends up in a staring contest with the goat, narrowing her eyes when she realizes she's standing in front of a love hotel.]


Don't even think about it. [She sure was talking to the goat, but it's not that hard to overhear her.]

C.) is for Cafe

[Everything is exhausting. She's sprawled over a chair almost ungracefully and that goat hovers around near her feet, but at least its not moving. On occasion, she'll be writing neat lines in a notebook and sipping her tea, though she frowning in concentration. There's an extra chair at her table though. Feel free to ask if you can join her or even be nosy about what she's doing, she won't mind.

On the other hand, if you're a friend or even someone she recognizes, she'll look up and smile brightly before pushing the chair out with her foot.]


Hey, over here!

D.) is for Dancing Games

[Sometimes Rise likes to play games. Sometimes Rise likes to use the game station to practice and when she gets bored of dancing in her room this is the next best thing. However, she's found at the game center today in front of one of the dancing games, and as she watches the colorful arrows fall across the screen she's continually missing and whines in frustration.]

Ugh, come on! This should be really easy! [And it would be…if she actually remembered how to dance. It's like all memories and coordination have left her and she's left trying really hard to fix that. Help her? Challenge her? Question her?]

E.) is for Everything Else!

[If you want to run into her while she's out shopping, at work as a model/karaoke star/tofu connoisseur, or if housemates want to do apartment shenanigans here you go!]

[ooc: ALSO if you have a preference on your type of memory please let me know! Otherwise I will be randomizing. Thank you!]

...Thanks. [stahn remains quiet for a minute after the water is in front of him. he wanted to properly answer rise, but getting his bearings first seems a bit more important here.

he draws in a few slow, deep breaths before sipping the water.

it's fine, he'll be fine.

at least after a couple of minutes, he'll be able to answer her question... albeit a bit weakly.]


...I never told you? [well, color stahn surprised. he figured he did.] It's fire. Dymlos, he's the Swordian of Fire.

It was kind of complicated... what happened before that. I understand why he was kind of mad then, but he's still kind of grumpy and bossy a lot of the time anyway.

[though it's obvious that even as stahn says that, he's very fond of dymlos. they're partners and friends, so even when they bicker, it doesn't change the strong connection they share.]

I don't really know... I just know he chose me, and I could hear him. [especially because dymlos himself has conflicting stories. but!] I'm the first person in a thousand years who was able to, so...

I think that's pretty special anyway.

Kind of...

[which sounds, weird, but he'll explain it. it's definitely more complicated than this, and there are definitely things not spoken because stahn himself has no idea about them. but whatever.]

We're partners, but he's not really my sword. He belongs to the Kingdom of Seinegald, so when I finish this mission, I have to return him unless I become a soldier.

[the king had already promised him that, he had a spot in their military if he wanted to take it, and dymlos would be given to him to use in that case. but he can't just finish the journey and keep dymlos, and stahn knows that.] I had to do that once before, so I know already that's how it is.

Mm! [leon's definitely the knight he looks up to most, despite the fact that there are definitely stronger and more reputable ones in seinegald's army.]

The Swordians are special, so... I think I get it. Igtenos was passed on through Phandaria's royal family too... I think that's just the way it worked out, because they're so special. [that's simplifying it a lot. there was a very specific reason dymlos ended up in seinegald's possession, though stahn doesn't yet know the whole of that story.]

When I met Dymlos, it was because I left home to become a soldier, just like my Gramps was! But... I'm not sure I'll become one. I want to see a lot of the world for myself before I make that kind of choice now. I know I can, the King promised me that there was a place for me if I decide to... but I can't decide that until I do more for myself first.

[his bias is always showing??? he's not subtle ever.

either way, stahn listens to what rise is saying, nodding his head and humming in understanding. it sounds to him like she went through something similar to what he feels like he needs to do first—he probably should have started in that three-month gap between missions, but being at home with his family had taken precedence, and now...]


Until we're done. If we fail... there won't be anything to return to. [he's literally fighting to save the world from being completely destroyed at this point.]

[ah.

her words give him real pause—sometimes he forgets that not everyone knows his current situation. a lot of people have learned about what happened to leon. but in the end, he has leon here and that's the only place where it's possible. it's a thought that stings, remembering that he won't have leon there to see the end of the mission when he gets back.]


Ye, yeah. It'll be okay... it has to be okay.

[personal profile] majinken 2016-07-07 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Eh? No, it's not anything like that. I'm not going to give up until it is.
majinken: (pic#10033888)

[personal profile] majinken 2016-07-08 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
I'm okay, really. I know that's how it is. Things... are pretty bad back home right now, but I'm not going to let it stop me.

[he can't give up, and for more reasons than he could really put into words.]

[personal profile] majinken 2016-07-09 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... I was about to head back to my apartment.

[it's probably better to get off that topic anyway. there's just plenty he's not at the point of being ready to talk to her about when it comes to his situation in his world and his friends, after all.]

[personal profile] majinken 2016-07-10 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh... right. I'm ready whenever you are, since I don't have anywhere to be.
