[ open ] you wake up, this is not a dream
Who:
sortileges & you!
When: IC: 08/16 - 08/17 / OOC: 08/02 - 08/03
Where: Multiple places (ViViD, in town etc)
What: The Worst Time to come back from a canon update... aka event stuff + return stuff
Rating/Warning: None, will change if anything comes up!
( ViViD: The worst train ride home, ever | IC: 08/16 )
[ If it weren't for the fact that coming back meant that there was a mix of memories in his head trying to sort themselves into place he might have noticed the warning signs sooner. The signs for Low Energy Levels that kept flashing up were mostly ignored as he just stands in the middle of nothing, hand against his head with his eyes shut tight because it's been a long while, so much has happened and it's weird to figure out that yes, everything is real.
Even this place where he had to get used to technology and a new way of life. His hair is shorter, he's older (though only a little more in age, but in wisdom and life much much more) as too much has happened.
It's a good, long ten or so minutes before he pays attention to the setting. The command prompt and so called "safe mode" mean very little to him so he presumes it's just part of the setting for ViViD this time. At least he knows enough about coming back after one of these trips to know where he probably is, otherwise this would have been even more disorientating. ]
...Hello?
[ Well, it's ViViD but usually there's someone hanging around. Instead it just... feels silent. Like there's nothing else there.
That is, of course, when the signs for low energy levels start going a bit crazier when he starts to walk--his throat starts to feel tight.
And he can't find the exit. ]
Of course the exit wouldn't be that easy to see here, because nothing could ever be easy.
[ Are you someone who was glitched here, or were youstupid brave enough to log in? Too bad, they aren't getting out of this unscathed apparently... ]
( 01: Energy Levels 93% | IC: 08/17 Morning )
[ He'd spent enough time staring at the change on his wrist to know that it probably shouldn't be there, but considering he didn't understand the majority of what was on the ViViD level the day before anyway he just brushes it off for now. He just assumes he should ask someone like Hiro who actually understands the technology here. Of course, that's until he's ran into the problem of Shigeru melting half the flat, his bed trying to eat him and a number of other things technology related.
Is this the real life or is it just fantasy-- it's hard to tell anymore. But. There are people he needs to see knowing that he's probably been missing for days now.
He makes sure he's dressed properly before he grabs his card and key and runs out the door. It's possible you'll catch him at the door if you've noticed he's back by now, if not, he's calling on doors or going to people's places of work or where he assumes they might be by now to check how they are.
By the time he gets there though, his wrist is probably glowing with 76% Weird. But he does force a smile and pretend like nothing has happened to some people. ]
Hello! Didn't expect to see you here. [ Nevermind????? That he came??????? to you??????? ]
( 02: Glitching 100 years into the future | IC: 08/17 Late Afternoon )
[ While the network might say he's back, if you haven't ran into him during the morning, there are some major differences now. For one thing, he doesn't really look like his younger self at all, nor is he acting quite as polite as he might normally be.
A poor alien might walk in front of him and he yells out: Are y'r eyes in the back of your head?! Watch where you're going! along with a sneer. One thing is for sure though... he seems to be enjoying himself??????
The next time though it might be you doing something that doesn't quite pass his idea of acting well, whether it's you pushing in front of him in a queue, accidentally walking in front of him, or just being there and him wanting to be a pain in the butt. Whatever you're doing might give him reason to decide to call you out on it.
What a rude old man. ]

no subject
Can I sit next to you?
no subject
Of course you can.
no subject
What's that?
no subject
A present from ViViD.
no subject
Does it hurt?
no subject
no, it changes though. [ It's probably dropped to 62% during this time honestly. This talk was Emotionally Draining. ]
no subject
Maybe it'll go away when all of this is over.
no subject
Maybe. I'm not sure if it's just because of how I came back or if other people have it too, though.
no subject
I've never seen anybody else have something like that. It could just be a ViViD thing.
[ with how technology is being right now, she doubts people actually log into the game for the weird glowy thing to be common. ]
no subject
[ His own hand moves to rub over the mark now. ]
no subject
I'm sorry.
no subject
It's fine, you don't have to apologise. It was just ViViD.
[ That happened plenty of times????????? ]
no subject
Sorry, I— [ god, she doesn't know. ] ... sorry.
no subject
It's fine. [ It isn't :( ] Don't worry about it.
[ But silence falls again because he doesn't know what to say or do anymore if she keeps reacting like this either. It stings. ]
I can come back later if you want?
no subject
It's... It's been a while since we went to the rooftop.
no subject
It has. Did you want to go there?
[ I mean, if anything tries to attack them up there he's confident he can stop it so w/e. ]
no subject
Only if you want to.
no subject
Well, we can get there this way, right? Up there?
no subject
Yeah, we can. If you don't mind going up the stairs, anyway.
[ she doesn't know if he's seen other people already, but he'll probably want to visit his other friends, too. which is why his trek to the rooftop will be even more tedious if he'll be coming from the ground floor. ]
no subject
I'm fine. It's just some stairs. [ When he moves to stand this time though, he doesn't hold his hand out for her and instead shoves his hands into his pockets. ]
no subject
I'll see you later.
[ once she's pulled away, she just heads back down and opens the door. she doesn't move to go to the other side just yet, though, and instead looks back at him with a soft smile. ]
I missed you.
no subject
Freya died there. It's been a long time but the emotions and feelings are still mushed up from only coming back a day ago.
It's hard.
By the time he's telling himself to move she's pulled away and it's probably obvious there's a lot he isn't telling her, too. Still, he gives her a faint smile. ]
Go get some rest, I can come back later tonight?
[ When they've both had time to figure some things out, maybe. ]
no subject
she just doesn't want to force anything now. ]
Okay. Stay safe.
[ that's all she says before turning back and walking away, though. she probably won't think about this upon getting back to her apartment. all she wants to do is cry herself to sleep. ]
no subject
Either way, this whole thing is giving him whiplash. First she says she wants to go to the rooftop, then she's going so he agrees because he doesn't know what she wants then she's telling him to "stay safe" and ... she's gone.
Despite standing up to go to the rooftop a minute ago, he ends up just sinking back down again to stare out across the colony and half wish he never did come back this time.
Nothing feels okay. ]
no subject
when will these two idiots completely understand the other...
it's why she's wondering where he is, now that she's been waiting at the rooftop for close to an hour now. she still hasn't eaten and instead just slept when she got back. it's why the only things she brought with her are blankets and pillows. she didn't really think that he might want food too. she should have considered that.
if he's even coming, anyway... she doesn't know anymore. but being stood up sure feels awful. she tries, anyway, to get in touch with him. maybe he's still out?? maybe that's why he hasn't come? ]
Are you coming? It's getting cold out here.
