[open]

Who: abe no "i'm so gloomy now" sousei & all of you people
When: IC: 1/21-23 || OOC: 6/17-20ish WHENEVER
Where: Various, catch him wherever suits!
What: What do you do when your partner's gone missing? Do dumb things and check on all of his adopted children, naturally.
Rating/Warning: None!




a. open - around the shopping district;

[At first, he didn't really think anything was wrong. Tenka going missing was naturally concerning, but he could've been at work, or the like. But as the day drags on and he doesn't show up, Sousei actually picks up his phone to call him.

User not Registered.

That's...that's very bad. Don't mind Sousei just standing in the middle of the sidewalk staring down at the CereVice in his hand.

At least, until he snaps back into action, turns abruptly, and starts going in the other direction. Too bad he didn't look where he was going first, hopefully his abrupt stop and equally abrupt direction change didn't cause any traffic jams.

Otherwise he can be found poking his head into shops and through alleyways and possibly even opening up and peering into trash cans. What does he think he's going to find there? Who knows. He has to give it a try, though. Even if he does look ridiculous with a trash can lid held over his head.]


b. open - gym;

[And as it drifts into the next day with still no Tenka, Sousei has to admit what he very much doesn't want to--namely that Tenka's gone, and they have no idea if he'll come back or anything. The city has only just started to run properly again after that entire ghost scare; still, it's hard to really appreciate that when it's becoming starkly obvious that everything is not quite right now.

Which is why he can be found in the gym even before his shift begins, practicing. It's good to practice. It's a good way to stay fit, and sharp, which is necessary after that entire fiasco.

Of course, he may be taking this a little too far, as the time drags on into hours and his breathing comes in short, sharp pants. He should probably take a break, but it doesn't seem like it's all too likely right now.]


c. semi-open: to tenka's close cr/people he adopted/etc;

[If Tenka knew you or was trying to take care of you or wanted to help you in some way or was even just amused by you, chances are he told Sousei. And now, as it edges into the third and four and fifth day and still no sign of Tenka coming back, he has to admit that that's probably the case. It had taken Soramaru two weeks to come back, so it isn't as though there isn't hope--but even so, he can't leave this for two weeks.

So he goes to perform his Not Fun Dad duties (which, for the record, he never signed up for). So if Tenka knew your address, he'll be awkwardly knocking on your door, or if he otherwise sees you around the city, he'll be approaching.

Awkwardly.

Sorry if you've never met him before, but he has a Duty to perform, and that duty is looking out for Tenka's gigantic swarm of adoptees and making sure they're all okay after that entire ViViD and technological fiasco.]


Excuse me.

[Don't mind him. He's just a little more Awkward than Tenka--and he's a little tired, though it's hard to tell from his face.]

[ There we go. It might not be a whole lot of progress, but honestly, Shinpachi wasn't expecting anything big anyway. Not when the loss of someone so important would hurt a lot. Just Sousei giving in to something simple, just the two of them drinking together.. that's already fine. It's a small step towards getting things a little more like normal again. ]

Same thing. [ Yeah, you're totally not escaping the being taken care of thing here.. but then again, that's pretty much what's happening here. It's the reason Shinpachi is even talking about buying him drinks to begin with. ]

But.. c'mon then, let's not waste our time standing around here then! The booze is calling our names, can't you hear it?

[ just waves a hand dismissively and keeps on watching from over here. she lets out a low whistle though. ]

That's a bit of time. Have you been here with someone from your home the whole while?

Partner? Rather intimate a title. Do you mean romantically or...?

[ no judgment here! but she does want to clarify after his sigh. ]

I only ask as you don't seem like someone who would be as... [ waving a hand as she tries to think of a word ] well adjusted? To being here, if you were alone. You're rather open to conversation.

[ huff ]

You're not. Come over for tea any time, okay?

Ah, I see. That's quite a while to keep a bond so strong. Very impressive, actually.

[ the only person she can think of like this is maybe her sister? but that's through birth, it's different. she's only known her current friends for about a year now at that, so it's still not the same.

but at his reply, her lips quirk upwards. ]


You just said you've always been by each other's sides and yet now you say you went without him for ten years. Perhaps you're plenty sociable without the man, pardon my assumption, but now I can only wonder if I accidentally stumbled upon the reason you're here today.

[ she doesn't know your history, bruh! only that that sounded kind of flip floppy. ]

[.........hm.]

It really does look like a crab.

[She accepts the CereVice, and after taking a good look at the picture (he looks so tired), she slides her finger across the screen to see if there are more.

Stop her?]

[ There's nothing wrong with dropping by for some tea, Sousei-kun... don't be so Tsun. ]

No problem. And I'll keep my eyes open too.

[It doesn't take her long to go through the rest, then. She's a bit curious, wondering if Tenka himself took some of the other ones, but gives the CereVice back to Sousei before deciding to ask (not directly, mind you--not yet).]

Thanks.

[...]

But you know, you don't strike me as the type of guy to let someone borrow your CereVice.

[ she waves a hand dismissively before pressing it against her chest. ]

My apologies, serah. Just something I noticed.

[ and then her hand drops and she gives a shake of her head. ]

It's not my problem, no. I'd be doing the same thing if, say, my sister were to arrive and leave. I wouldn't be very happy then, I'll admit. [ . . . ] Ah... is that what he did? Leave?

[ protagonists are just drawn to sousei is all. shit sucks, bro.

but ah, she feels sympathetic but does her best not to show it since it doesn't seem like he'd react well to that. she gives a thoughtful hum though. ]


Well, he'll remember you certainly?

[personal profile] kirkwalled 2015-08-05 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
And now it makes sense.

[ the discrepancy, she means. and also his angst. ]

Well, if you were able to reunite once, you'll be able to do so again. The way you speak of your friendship makes it seem quite a strong one so, you probably needn't worry.

[ at the troublesome thing, she really is wondering what type of guy tenka is. he has to be the complete opposite of sousei, she bets. it would be so fitting (and hilarious). ]

[ hawke's just going to snort and take a sip of water. ]

I'd appreciate if you respected me enough not to mistake my understanding of your situation for pity. I'm no mind reader, Sousei. I came here and found someone I quite like obviously upset. I think you're more than capable of handling it on your own, even if you still strike me as someone who doesn't enjoy talking very much.

[ a pause and she spreads her hands, finishing with -- ]

Does that appease you? I wouldn't want my actions to be misunderstood now.

[ a huff of amusement and she settles back against the bench again. she'll let a few moments pass in comfortable silence before speaking again. ]

So, are you going to continue hurting yourself because your friend left? That doesn't seem very mentally stable.
