estoria | [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!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Ugh what a good bean. But at least this is a little funnier to talk about and the arched eyebrow does nothing to curb her laughter.]

It was sort of like that...Yosuke-senpai signed all of the girls up for the Miss Yasogami pageant without telling us he was gonna sign us up, and our teacher who was running it made a rule that you can't back out no matter what. So when the sign-ups for the crossdressing pageant turned up I thought it'd be fun for all of us to do it together...so we signed the boys up and surprised them.

[There's an almost devilish smile. Don't mess with her, Kashuu, she is a dangerous girl.]

[SHE IS A TRULY DANGEROUS GIRL except for the part where Kashuu, in that situation, would have probably signed himself up and taken the threat right out of things. A true camera hog...]

Geez! Well, serves 'em right for signing everyone up without giving you a warning or anything. That stuff is super hard! You should've at least been able to prepare waaay in advance, y'know? It's not the same as signing someone up for a blind date or something.

[THAT REQUIRES EVEN MORE PREPARATION?! But apparently Kashuu "has totally done that before" Kiyomitsu doesn't think so.]

[Kashuu and Teddie would have been some fierce competition, and part of her wonders how they would have gotten along if Teddie were still here.]

Exactly! At least with a blind date all you have to do is show up and be yourself. [She pauses.] --wait, have you ever actually been on a blind date?

[Kashuu gets along with anyone that lets him dress them up... Really, cooperative models are so rare!!]

Yeah, I have! It was pretty nice. Someone organized a really big one way back during Valentine's day and so many people I knew back then were sooo stuffy that I totally signed as many of 'em up as I could.

[And then he signed himself up too, OF COURSE. He's a menace of a friend...]

Wait really? [She can't help but laugh. Kashuu you're a sword after her own heart, she would also terrorize all of her uppity friends who need to lighten up. Poor everyone, really.] That doesn't surprise me, but I hope they appreciated the work you put in! Who organized something like that anyway?

[Time to form a tag-team duo that will truly leave people REELING IN FEAR-- but also very fashionable!]

Yeah, really! A few of 'em didn't even thank me. Rude, right? Stuffy people are the worst! [But he continues to make friends with them...] It was a kid, though. Really determined to make it a good holiday! It was super sweet. I think her name was Mabel...?

[Best tag-team tbqh. She's nodding along because THAT IS SO RUDE, people could at least say thank you!! But she stops suddenly and--]

Huh? [Whoa, wait.] Mabel like...Pines? I didn't even know she was here before! [...but that doesn't surprise her that the girl would set up an event like that and she giggles to herself.] I can't wait to tell her about that.

[At least SOMEONE HERE can appreciate all his hard work, unlike his loser friends, gosh.]

I guess? I didn't catch a last name. She's about this tall and had brown hair and was super excited about throwing the blind date thingy, though! Nice kid.

[THE SAME MABEL INDEED or maybe a different one, but basically the same person anyway, or something. Kashuu's assuming it's It's Complicated status...]

Hmm...she's my roommate! I mean it's because her brother was already living with Yu-senpai and Yosuke-senpai and when Mabel came here...or came back? She moved in with us! I wonder if she'd want to do something like that again...maybe after her sweater project's finished.

[So yes, it's It's Complicated but Rise apparently doesn't care. Thanks, Rise.]

[Not caring makes things easier in some cases, at least! Kashuu just nods along like this is Fine and Normal.]

Ooh, I see, I see. I didn't know her back then, really, but she seemed like a good kid. S'nice to see people trying to pep up the atmosphere around here, especially when they're all having just as hard a time as the rest of us.

[He's got admiration for them!]

Once I get my dance moves back, I think I'll have a talk with her and see what she says. You'll help if she agrees to help with something like, won't you Kashuu-san?

Sure, sure! It was way fun the first time around. If I help out, I'll be able to sign up even more people, too!

[CLAPPING HIS HANDS TOGETHER, so enthusiastic... He's ready to set some punks up and deal with the tsuntsun repercussions.]

[All of their friends will hate them soon enough. It's fine, this is fine.]

Awesome! [But she blinks suddenly because wow, okay, no.] But let's wait until all of this is done first. Ready to head out, or are you saying a while?

[Sometimes sacrifices must be made for the greater dating good.]

Oh— [Right, GETTING A BIT AHEAD OF THEMSELVES-- Kashuu sure isn't about to risk looking like a newborn gazelle in front of Rise though, so he just shakes his head.] I'm gonna just, like... hang out here for a little bit. Be careful once you get out there, 'kay?

[...Kashuu...but she shakes her head.]

You got it. I'll see you later! [And dizzy though she may still be, off she goes.]
