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.]

And the thing is, Kashuu's seen this kind of thought process destroy people before. He's heard about those who refuse to bend breaking instead, when everything is said and done, but he doesn't know how to put that concern into words in a way that he would be satisfied with. Instead, he looks vaguely discomforted as he picks up his sets with a little more vigor.]
Just make sure you don't lose it.
[Metaphorically in this sense, at least...]
—Anyway! I said it before, but I like you, y'know? So if something's giving you trouble and you don't wanna deal with it, just point me in the right direction.
[He'll go stab a thing for you, Sousei.]
no subject
(Sousei, that's exactly the sort of unhealthy thought processes Kashuu is worried about.)
For now, though, he's fine. He'll be fine. He's still standing.
Also, he thinks a sword just offered to commit murder on his behalf. What a world.]
...That's unnecessary. [IN SO MANY WAYS. A pause, and he continues a little more awkwardly--] Not that I don't appreciate the offer.
no subject
Just keep it in mind, 'kay? I'm not good at helping with a lot of problems, but that's something I can do.
[KILL... PEOPLE. OR THINGS. Really, whatever needs to be taken care of, he's there okay. He's got Sousei's back. That said, he appreciates the fact that Sousei is awkwardly trying to give some weird Sousei version of a thanks, so he just smiles like this conversation hasn't taken a turn for the ???]
When things aren't as bad, you can come spar with me, too!
no subject
But even so, he makes a quiet, dissenting noise at that. Swords need to stop putting themselves down, he thinks, even in the state he's in.
It seems silly.]
Perhaps I will take you up on that offer. It would be better than a dance.
Regardless, I would say that your attempts are worth more than you would think.
[At...comfort... don't make him spell it out, it's awkward.]
no subject
But what the heck is this shit, Sousei is being kind of cute?? HE'S SEEING GLIMPSES OF THAT SOFT MOE CENTER AGAIN.]
Riiight, right. If you're not gonna dance with me anymore, I have to find something to make up for it with. [Because his poor linefaced comrade is already being awkward enough, so he doesn't have to say he's doing this for Sousei's sake!! Not when he already knows that, anyway. BUT HE HASN'T HIT HIS "BEING EMBARRASSING" QUOTA YET and he can't leave that reassurance ignored even if he susses Sousei probably wouldn't mind that.]
Y'know, for such a serious and gloomy guy, you have a pretty cute side!
[Just what Sousei needs to hear in these trying times...]
no subject
Sousei was happy to leave it as just a thing that happened BUT NO NEED TO BRING IT UP. But nooo, apparently Kashuu felt the need to bring it up.
And in such a way that Sousei honestly doesn't know how to react.
He blinks, brow furrowing in honest bemusement.]
"Cute"?
[?????]
no subject
But really, there might be some dumb logic going on here too. Compliments always make him feel better, so clearly that's got to be the case with other people, right?? Being called cute is something to strive for!]
Like, that was a sweet thing to say, but you had to be all Sousei about treating me nice. It's cute!
[Sousei has become his own verb already... BUT THEN, back on a more serious note:]
Make sure you treat yourself the same way, o-kay?
[Because he doesn't really know Sousei that well, but he's seen that mentality in enough people to know that it's equally common for them to be rather merciless toward themselves.]
no subject
And when did his name become a verb???
He doesn't like any of this, way to kick a guy when he's down........]
Naturally I was like myself about this entire situation. I do not know how to be anyone else.
[Stop calling him cute.]
And the way I treat myself is none of your concern.
[Kashuu is completely right.]
no subject
Like now! He doesn't say "see, that's super cute!" like he wants to!! Even though he might as well, with the twinkling amusement in his eyes... But he'll abruptly turn as he starts a different set of practice moves, so at least Sousei won't have to deal with that for long.]
Nope! [what is he noping.....] It's totally my concern now! You won't be able to spar with me or dance with me anymore if you do something stupid and get yourself hurt, and it'll be boring if you're super gloomy.
no subject
He watches Kashuu return to his practice, crossing his arms.]
I won't hurt myself. I am more than well-aware of my own limits.
[This is actually true, he just was purposefully going beyond them like a dumbass.]
I did not say I would dance with you again, however.
no subject
[HE HAS TROUBLE BELIEVING THAT, SOUSEI... Though he also wouldn't be surprised at all to learn he's met yet another person who has no idea how to stay within the bounds of their limits when there's something outside of it that they want. This is exactly why he has to keep an eye out, okay... At least he's well-practiced with running in at the last second screaming WAIT NO YOU CAN'T DO THAT.]
I know! You don't need to say it. Even if you said "never again" I wouldn't give up, see?
no subject
But even so, Sousei scoffs at that, and it's...almost faintly amused. Kashuu has showed this time and time again, that he would go to the ends of the earth for what he wants.]
Yes, I do believe that, somehow.
[Honestly...these swords.]
You're incredibly troublesome, though I suppose stubbornness does not necessarily have to be a negative trait.
no subject
Yeah, but it sounds like an unattractive one when you put it like that. [But he's not bothered by that, really, because he's used to carrying the label "difficult sword", and this is just one more shade of being difficult.]
I met that friend of yours, y'know? Yang. She said it takes stubborn people to deal with you anyway, so I guess it's a good thing that I am.
no subject
And then he huffs vaguely.]
I should have known better than to put gossip past you.
[honestly!!!]
Do not listen to her. She is even more stubborn than you.
no subject
[They were definitely gossiping... BUT, that aside, he'll make another blunt statement and observation after a second or two of silence.]
I like her! She seems nice and she's got a lot of great advice. [She also said she'd help ambush Sousei later so honestly, what's not to love??] She even said she'd be my big sister, y'know? [That draws a laugh from him...
And then:] You're friends with good people, huh?
no subject
[LOOK HE'S ONTO YOU.......
... ... but well. That's... Sousei pauses, blinking in legitimate surprise at the question, and his answer is startlingly sincere as well.]
I suppose I am, yes.
[He never really had tons of friends before, okay...this is still a new experience for him. But he was hardly going to deny that.]
no subject
But ugh, what a dang softie.]
Makes sense! [Because he can tell Sousei is a good person, and it's pretty natural for good people to attract more of the same, right? He turns on his heel and finishes his latest set with a smile.]
Good, good. That means you prooobably have a lot of people to watch out for, but you got a lot of people to watch out for you, too.
[Which in turn means that whatever has Sousei down now is something that he'll be able to handle, most likely, and not just by merit of his own solitary strength. Having a support network is important.]
no subject
But he is not looking to unload his burdens onto them.
It doesn't seem right.
And he doesn't really know how.]
I suppose so, yes. That appears to be the case. [There's a pause, and he shakes his head, standing now before his muscles stiffen too much.]
So you do not need to concern yourself with it, Kiyomitsu.
no subject
Fine, fine!
[He says in a way that definitely implies he's going to concern himself with it anyway... Likely to the surprise of no one. But as a last in, he adds:]
You can just call me Kashuu, y'know.
no subject
Tenka is literally the only person he calls by his first name, okay, he doesn't even call Kiiko by her first name, because he is a Lame Nerdlord.
But, even so...]
Is that what you would prefer?
[He supposes it's not a big deal, just....strange.]
no subject
But I guess it sounds prettier than Kashuu...
no subject
[Wow that was a fast turnaround!! Is it because Kashuu was thinking about how pretty his last name is? Yes, yes it is.
This is Sousei's version of giving Kashuu shit, honestly.]
no subject
Hey... It sounds like an insult when you change your mind that fast.
no subject
But in response to that, he just arches an eyebrow simply.]
It is your name, and it is what you requested to be called. There is nothing strange about listening to you.
[His poker face is perfection, at least.]
no subject
[HE'S PRETTY, OKAY!! His pretty name suits him just fine, too! But he lives with trolls so he knows how this goes, even if he's still shocked that Sousei is capable of joking at all...
With a little flourish, he slides his blade back into its sheath and sets his hands against his hips.]
Anywaaay, that's all! Watching time's over, you can go now.
[And he's not even trying to get rid of Sousei because he's irritated, either! He just knows the poor guy has to go ice his arms...]
