it's been a long day without you my friend [OPEN]
Who: covenantal & you!
When: IC 9/13 to 9/20, OOC 8/29 to 9/05 (the duration of event 33!)
Where: Pinesona apartment and elsewhere.
What: Relying on others is hard. Relying on others is necessary when your left arm and leg stop working, though. With bonus memory loss!
Rating/Warning: None right now.
[ i. closed to the pinesona apartment ]
[ Ever since the shutdown of the city's robots - and the uprising of all their appliances - Yu has been on a mission to replace as much as he can. It's taken a lot of scouring of the city, but he managed to find things like another refrigerator and microwave. Replacing their stove was probably the hardest thing, but more than anything, wanting to get the apartment in some semblance of working order so he could cook again had been high on his list of priorities.
So sue him, he finds all the cooking he does soothing, even if it's the most domestic.
He's in the kitchen the evening of the 13th, not yet realizing anything is amiss. Puttering around and deciding what to make so that everyone can pick at it at their leisure as they get in is leading him to decide on maybe oyakodon or gyudon, either one would be simple and the twins would probably like it--
--but as he goes to take a step, his leg just ... doesn't work.
With a yelp and a pretty loud crash he falls to the floor, where he stays for a moment in a painful heap. When he instinctively tries to push himself up, his arm won't respond, either. Struck dumb by confusion and a slow creeping sense of dread, Yu stares at the arm that won't move and gasps: ]
What?
[ Throughout the rest of the week smaller scale incidents of this nature will happen. His roommates can find him sometimes sitting in the middle of the living room floor, or pressed up against a piece of furniture or a wall leaning heavily on his right leg. The paralysis comes and goes seemingly at random, and probably despite all wisdom, he keeps pushing himself to do things anyway despite knowing he might get stranded somewhere. He could use a hand ... or a stern talking to. ]
[ ii. open ]
[ More than anything, it's a sort of stubbornness that keeps pushing him out the door.
The idea of being incapable is so foreign to him. Not being able to help himself, much less other people, makes the hollows of his chest feel shivery in ways he doesn't want to acknowledge. It's alien and unnerving and not right.
So he can still be found running errands around the Residential and Shopping districts, though it's in these places that you'll also find him .... stopped. Leaning against a wall, or awkwardly splayed on a bench, looking like he fell onto it more than sat on it. Each time he'll be thin-lipped and tapping slowly at his CereVice with one hand, his left hand strangely limp or tucked away in his pocket. Definitely at least once his leg gives out on him again, and though he falls, it's not as hard or bad as the first time. He'll tumble somehow into a sitting position, looking almost like he meant to do that (in the middle of a sidewalk?), though with a terribly annoyed expression on his face.
Should he not see you as these moments happen, he can be overheard mumbling this is ridiculous or a similar sentiment. However, should he accidentally, say, crash into you (what were you doing there, anyway?), he'll start apologizing profusely. ]

He doesn't have much time to wonder over it before he hears her footsteps, and he takes a step back for her to open the door. The look on her face does something to his expression, making it go a bit crooked and wry. This has got to be frustrating for her.
Yu lifts the bag, smiling a little. ]
Hey. I brought you some things. Hopefully they'll help a little. Want to see?
no subject
In a weird way, this reminds her of their first couple of weeks together, after they'd both fallen silent around each other and were only communicating non-verbally. That had been by choice, but this was just plain awful. Apparently Yu's taking too long to answer though because she decides to take his hand that isn't holding the bag and drag him out to the living room. Come along, Senpai.]

He's about to open his mouth to reply when she grabs his hand, and he'll laugh quietly as he follows her out. That's Rise, for you.
Once they're settled on the couch together, he'll smile at her and set the bag down on the table in front of them. ]
I hope these are to your taste.
[ Yu pulls out a pack of glitter gel pens and two pads of stationery and sets them out on the table for her to look at. ]

Senpai!!! You bought these just for me? That's so sweet!! These will totally help until CERES fixes everything or whoever's behind this (but it's always CERES, right?) UGH I'm SO MAD! This has been TORTURE! Who told them they could do this?
...the glitter's a nice touch too o((*^▽^*))o
