[ 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. ]

Chocolate. Ice cream. Something sweet, anyway.
[ Because for him it's been a while and it's needed at times like these okok ]
no subject
I have cookies downstairs. Yu made them.
[ they're really good!! even better with milk! ]
no subject
Are you sure you want to share them?
[ That's p special, Athena?! ]
no subject
I'm sure. There's a lot of it.
[ which is why she sits up now. ]
I'll go now?
no subject
Not yet-- [ Ah... he moves quickly to reach for her too, careful when he holds onto her arm. ] Don't go yet.
no subject
[ it's the first thing that comes out of her mouth when she holds onto him. she doesn't tense up now, though, at least. she slowly lowers herself back down, blinking up at him in curiosity. ]
Okay. If you say so.
no subject
We'll go down in a bit, you need to eat too, don't you?
[ Don't think he doesn't know, missy... ]
no subject
I had a small snack today.
[ like. a cracker. it's food!! ]
no subject
Have some with me.
[ It isn't enough food!!! Look, he's back now... eat!!! ]
no subject
Half.
no subject
That's reasonable. I mean, they were made for you anyway.
[ He shifts a little now to slide his hand against her cheek. ]
Should we go get them now before it's time to sleep?
[ It's fine if she isn't going alone tbh... ]
no subject
Okay. [ she leans into his hand a bit to nuzzle against it before she sits up again. ] Let's get milk, too.
no subject
but really, he'll try and encourage her to take as much as she can -- not to make her sick obviously but it's Worrying. It makes him regret letting her get attached as she has in a way, though that's just painful to think to himself as well. ]
Sounds great.
[ The smile he gives her isn't huge, but it's a lot more genuinely happy than before. Things are looking up. ]
no subject
Can I hold your hand while we walk?
no subject
Let's go.
