w0, sunday

[Akira doesn't really go to the bar to drink, more to have a private place to sit to himself. Why did he think the bar would be empty...

He sneaks in, hunched as usual--freezes half a second about someone else being here, then quickly tries to continue sneaking in hopes Kuranosuke is too drunk to notice.]

[ontrend]

[kuranosuke does not seem to immediately notice, but... once akira is a few steps in, he raises his head, spots him, and waves.]

Hey, Akira! Did you come for a drink?

[tearduct]

[Well, it's rude to keep going, and he hasn't quite reached Chandra and Scaramouche levels of rude. So he slows to a stop, looks over.]

Nah.

[Reluctantly wanders over with his hands in his pockets.]

[ontrend]

Huh? Then... why'd you hit up the bar?

[kuranosuke looks genuinely confused]

[tearduct]

[Kuranosuke is so valid. Awkwardly, Akira glances around the bar, then finally ends up sitting down.]

I thought it'd be quiet. I mean, I thought no one would be here.

[ontrend]

Oh.

[...]

Well, uh. I'm here! Is that a problem?

[akira is allowed to say yes.]

[tearduct]

[STOP. He's a good boy.]

Oh, uh... no. It's fine. [He... motions to the drink.] Go ahead.

[ontrend]

[DRINKS.]

...eugh. So, how are you holding up? And be honest.

[tearduct]

[He opens his mouth. "Be honest." He closes his mouth. It takes him a minute to try to figure out how to say he's hanging on by a thread.]

Not great, but... I've been through worse. What about you?

week 1, thursday

[ontrend]

[obnoxiously following akira around even though he's just trying to leave i'm sorry. if he's getting ryo food, kuranosuke will just accompany him to wherever he's getting it. he's got hands! he can help!]

Dude - what the hell happened?

[tearduct]

[Kuranosuke is so funny. He doesn’t walk about very fast, instead taking his time gathering food, so Kuranosuke can keep up.]

We were in space. On a spaceship.

[ontrend]

How did you get on a spaceship if you're supposed to be in hell???

[HELP.]

[tearduct]

[HE HAS NO ANSWERS.]

I don’t know… We were… We were suddenly all on one of the ferries. It took us to an island, but the only thing on it was a box with holes, and a note told us to put our hands inside.

[ontrend]

...what the hell, that's sketchy AF.

[tearduct]

Yeah…

[Says boy who stuck his hand in first.]

Then we were on a spaceship. We had to figure out what happened on it before time ran out.

[ontrend]

[well that


sounds ominous]

...you guys made it back, so - you must have figured it out...?

[tearduct]

Barely. It was... kind of rigged. We searched some rooms, but didn't have all the information when the time ran out. There was... an alive plant and a virus, or something.

Anyway...

[He is getting what fast food he can. A variety.]

We played two more "games" afterward.

week 4, saturday

[ontrend]

[kuranosuke runs into akira at the showers!! they are both fully clothed. akira is on his way out and kuranosuke is on his way in, but akira's gotten changed already and kuranosuke has not disrobed yet. i need the mods to know that anna chose this i am not forcing her to have a pc at the showers just because i can.

anyway, when he sees him, he waves.]

...hey. How are you holding up?

[tearduct]

[FDSIFISDJFIDS STOP LISTEN he's been cleansed]

Hey...

[Despite being cleansed, it is still very clear by his eyes that he had been crying before. Ignore that. He will make room for Kuranosuke.]

...I'll live.

[ontrend]

[that's a funny thing to say when they're all already dead]

...for what it's worth, I'm - I'm sorry. When I called you over, I didn't know it was gonna be like that.

[kuranosuke really just thought scara was being finicky about who was allowed to touch his real hair.]

[tearduct]

[STOP AGAIN.]

It's okay... It wasn't... [He sighs quietly.] It wasn't you. He picked me on purpose.

To prove his point.

[ontrend]

His... point?

[tearduct]

He... thought humans were all the same. That nothing is important to them except self-interest. I told him not all of them were like that.

So he was proving he was right.

[ontrend]

...by making you be the one to--

[...]

Oh, that jerk! What the hell!!

[tearduct]

[Haha, yea...]

It's fine. Maybe he was right.
