[ open ] you wake up, this is not a dream

Who: [personal profile] 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 you stupid 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. ]

[ well, it was fine when she asked earlier because given the situation, it was obvious she meant with what's going on with the two of them, but now she doesn't know what he's pertaining to. but even if she's clueless. . . ]

Can I sit next to you?
psycholawgy: (why did boss send me a pic of his toes)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2016-08-04 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ at first, she just looks at his hand like it's some alien thing but she takes it eventually and moves to sit next to him. he'd probably notice that she's shaking now that she's closer than before. and she does see that his wrist is glowing when she takes his hand. ]

What's that?
psycholawgy: (how can you resist this face?!)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2016-08-04 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she reaches out to touch his wrist but ends up backing out at the last second. ]

Does it hurt?
psycholawgy: (concerned)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2016-08-04 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ well maybe if he hadn't left, they wouldn't have had this talk!! ]

Maybe it'll go away when all of this is over.

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2016-08-04 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she looks to the side. ]

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. ]
psycholawgy: (joins us for a cossack show)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2016-08-04 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ the idea of him dying only makes her frown again, though. ]

I'm sorry.
psycholawgy: (my thirst levels are showing)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2016-08-04 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ that makes her jump slightly, though. she feels bad for reacting that way which is why she covers her face with both her hands. ]

Sorry, I— [ god, she doesn't know. ] ... sorry.
psycholawgy: (ho hum)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2016-08-04 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it was just more surprising than anything else, really. she didn't mean to react that way. ]

It's... It's been a while since we went to the rooftop.
psycholawgy: (why did boss send me a pic of his toes)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2016-08-04 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ the rooftop's pretty much an empty space, so the only threat there is merlin... (unsure) there shouldn't be any weird stuff going on up there. ]

Only if you want to.
psycholawgy: (goddess of the moon is artemis)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2016-08-04 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she looks up at the flight of stairs above them. at least the rooftop isn't so far. maybe just three or four storeys higher than where they are now. ]

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. ]
psycholawgy: (aha ha ha hahahahahahahaha...)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2016-08-04 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she watches him get up before she does, too. her legs are wobbly, but that's fine. it's not like she'll be going out again today. and with a deep breath, she tries to do something she's wanted to do since he showed up earlier. her touch is light, as if there's no strength in her body (which is true in this case), but she does hug him. it doesn't last very long, just enough to feel his warmth again... or if he isn't warm, then. . . at least she tried. ]

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.
psycholawgy: (do you like what you see?)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2016-08-04 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he can keep to himself all he wants, though. she isn't going to make him talk if he doesn't want to. sure, she wants to know what's happened, what's changed, but if he isn't willing to talk about it, then there's just no point in finding out. it hurts, but it's better than him going away, even if he does put his walls around him again and that also feels like she's losing him, too.

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. ]

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2016-08-04 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ face in hands.

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.
