[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.]

[ he'll have a motorcycle up in his face.

okay, not exactly. celty manages to swerve her motorcycle around him when he turns, just managing to miss crashing into him. there's a sharp whinny as the bike skids to a stop a few feet behind him, but otherwise, no harm done.

her helmet turns up to him afterwards and she takes out her device, turning on the text to voice function.

I'm sorry. Are you alright, Sousei?

No trouble at all. I'm glad you're fine.

[ distracted, though? ever since she met him, he seemed like a very focused person, always aware of his surroundings. there must be something really troubling him if he's this distracted. ]

If you'll pardon me for asking, has something been troubling you?

[ aside from being stuck here in general. ]
helmets: (i can see no way)

I see.

[ she won't push if he really doesn't want to talk about it. but, it doesn't mean she can't offer some help, if he wants to take it. ]

We haven't known each other for very long and it may not be in my place to offer, but if you feel the need to talk about it, I would be happy to lend an ear.

[ but can u really imagine sousei doing a feelings jam tho. ]

... Or alternatively, if you need something to take your mind off of it.

[ that's a good question, one she's not really sure how to answer herself, tbh.

but she takes his response with a nod, and that's the end of that.
]

Yes, I'm fine. It helped that I was expecting something, I think. Despite their assurances that we'd be safe and that they are handling the situation, the most recent broadcast made it difficult not to be suspicious. I'm sure you'd agree.

[ yes, great subject change. let's shittalk the newest CEO and her asshole of a secretary. ]

It's disturbing to say the least.

[ they're no different than pets. ]

I'm still wondering what kind of profit they'll make. I suppose if the world restorations are successful, they'll be able to take the credit for that and have compensation. Other than that, I can't think of anything else they'll be able to make money from.

[ she feels u, sousei. she really does. actually, a part of her still thinks they're gonna kill them and harvest their code organs to sell to an intergalactic black market and make money that way, but. you know. ]

I'm not sure. I'd like to think that it won't be the case, but at this point, I wouldn't be very surprised. Given CERES' track record, anything can happen.

Yes. As much as they attempt to reassure us, their intentions aren't altruistic.

[ don't say it. she's going to freak out. ]

It's difficult, but for now it seems all we can do is bide our time and be vigilant. There are too many questions and not enough answers.

[ hoe don't do it-- ]

You mean the research district?

[ she's reminded of a conversation she had with yata a while back (i wanna break in the research tower but oz says robots will come after me) and while she wants to, breaking in without a plan is a recipe for disaster. ]

I'm not sure if you remember, but during the botched rescue mission a few months back, I had recorded our progress in the research tower. I still have the map of it.

[ they didn't get super far, but it's a start. ]
