[ Emerald Park is pretty vast, therefore making it the perfect place to train in. Rukia isn't one to want to get rusty, and even if there's no immediate threat here, she wants to make sure she's ready in case one does show up. And if she were to go back home being weaker, that'd be humiliating. She's not practicing with her sword just yet, and she doesn't plan on practicing kido so as to not damage the greenery around her or jeopardize anyone's safety. She can, however, practice her swings, but first: sword polishing.

Rukia can be found sitting underneath one of the trees, wiping her sword with a cloth. It's quite a beautiful sword and looks like it was birthed from snow and ice, if Keith wants to take a closer look at it. ]

[marmoron]

[ Did someone say sword?? All jokes aside, Keith is still trying to get a good feel of the city. If this is meant to be a more permanent state of being, then he intends on spending all of his free time figuring out what the world has to offer.

Emerald Park isn't too far from where he's chosen to live and he passes by it more or less every day. The girl with the katana is new though, and Keith can't help stopping to admire the unusual sword. ]

Is that really made of steel?

[ It looks more like it was carved out of a glacier. With the number of people arund with ice powers, he supposes that wouldn't be so far out of the realm of question. ]

[disciplinaries]

[ Rukia lifts her head upon hearing his question. It's certainly not the first time anyone's asked about her zanpakuto, but it's one of the only times she's been asked about what it's made of. She never thought she'd have to give a human the answer to this question, and, well, she doesn't think she's going to be entirely honest about it. ]

...Ah, something like that.

[ It's made out of souls or something Keith, how would you feel about knowing that -- anyway. She can see why he asked, but that's the answer she's settling on. ]

Do you own a sword as well?

Keith age/gender? 21M hobbies/interests? I don't know. I used to be a spy and the pilot of a robot lion. Had to live on a space whale for the last two years. Being back in a city is a little overwhelming. sync goals? I'm just looking for a decent sparring partner and someone who knows what they're doing with magic.

[ Continued from ]

heh. i hope so. we've been through a lot together.
but he hasn't really given me much of an idea of what he'll pick for his name yet. he looks like he could be a "shadow" or "fang" but i don't wanna assume anything. you know? i'll respect his choice whenever he's ready to make one. it's a pretty big decision and all.

[ Or well. He would, but the situation's pretty complicated right now, isn't it. ]

did daisy tell you her name?

[philoxenia]

Ah, those are really neat names. I do hope he tells you soon.

She didn't, no... but after I got her, I had her choose her own collar, and it had daisies all over it.

[ ... Ah, that reminds her. ]

And speaking of names... mine is Mira.

[ Continued from here

i've never thought about it that way before
when you're inside the lion, i guess it's like any other space craft. you don't really think about what it looks like from the outside.

[ I mean, hell. Do astronauts ever get distracted by how phallic space rockets are??? ]

guess it's kinda distracting when the lions talk to you
but usually it's because they're trying to help
but i imagine having to sing and fight at the same time makes any kind of surprise attack pretty difficult to pull off

[recremation]

wait so your ship is alive
kinda
if it talks to you it must have some kind of consciousness right

trust me not pulling off surprise attacks is the least of my worries
though technically if i just need to travel somewhere i can get away with not singing
so if i only start singing right when i attack it'd probably work

> Shusei

[marmoron]

[ From here.]

ok and what am i getting out of doing story time?
what's going on in your life?

[hedonistic]

[Fuck.

On the one hand, the temptation is there to say something crude and horrifying about his situation to cut off the line of questioning. On the other hand, he really wants storytime. Hm.

...He decides to split the difference and go for something vague that should still be interesting.]

well, before i wound up here, my friends were chasing a serial killer in this town that was tearing itself apart with riots?
low-grade action movie shit at best
definitely not as cool as spaceship lion robots

> Allura

[marmoron]

[ Continued from here! ]

something like that.

[ There's just no quick and easy way to say he'd been kidnapped with a bunch of others by the Blue Lion and things only went downhill from there. ]

but i guess it's also possible that we never actually meet in your reality so it may not mean anything

> Akechi

[marmoron]

[ Continued from here. ]

is that meant to be a segue into volunteering for some begrudging hand holding or are you just being invasive?

[ Not how he'd ordinarily have put it, but dang if Akechi wasn't direct to start with. ]

tea time!!!

[goodfaiths]

[ Riku's spent a few days in Harasaka; despite having felt the weird urge to hold people's hands in the first day, he has it under control by the time day three rolls around. He's been enjoying the sights, the flowers, the temples -- what he's drawn to the most, though, are the different tea shops. He likes tea quite a lot and he's enjoying the different blends that Harasaka has to offer. Really, after the events from earlier this month, this is a nice change of pace.

He's on his way to try even more tea when he sees a familiar face eyeing one of the tea shops. (A familiar...mullet, rather?) Riku approaches with a bright smile and a little wave. Riku's everyday behavior isn't that far off from how he acted with the yellow powder in effect, but it'll be nice to finally talk to Keith with a clear head. ]

Keith-san! Hi! Are you here to try some tea, too?

[marmoron]

[ keith turns at the familiar voice, then tenses up visibly. not that he has anything against riku specifically, but their last conversation while under the influence of yellow powder had been... a lot. for keith, anyway. being excessively cheerful ... how embarrassing.

unlike the lighter jacket he's wearing today. ]

Oh hey.

[ slightly sheepish, he points to a drink menu advertising primavera's equivalent of boba. it comes in a ton of flavors with different kinds of boba as well. some flavor combinations really do not sound like they should go together. ]

I haven't tried anything like this before.

At the store. Replacing a pot.

[ just... pickin' pots at random. ofc kitchen destroyer here has no idea what he's looking for. ]

/closes eyes

[marmoron]

[ tmw you open up images of goddamn cooking ware and you realize that you may be becoming a parody of yourself because one pot is so clearly better than the others....

whatever. keith will deal with this realization later. possibly never. first things first: ]

what happened to the pot?

[ obviously shiro happened to it, but details!! was there a fire? a flood? an electrical outage? exploding eggs???? ]

[sideswitch]

Keith, Princess Allura is missing. I can't find her contact information on the network anymore either.

Have you or Shiro heard from her?

[marmoron]

[ ??? ]

no?
but she's disappeared before for a week or so. then she reappeared around the same time you arrived.
are you okay?

[ mid-morning donut run! apparently the baker is working on some eclairs, don’t they look good, keith??? ]

Hey.
Check it out.

[earthshine]

[ look at this crazy contraption. this is how the cream is thrust inside the soft, doughy opening. fascinating. ]

done.

[earthshine]

[ overflowing with love and affection, fuck yeah. ]



I’ve been watching this baker for awhile now.
And I feel mad? I don’t know why.
Are you okay?

[ obv he must be unintentionally tapping into keith’s emotions?? ]

[earthshine]

should we retaliate with post-its that we're moving?
or go louder?

[ .... keith was already disinclined to leave their apartment through the front door like a civilized person. reading this stuff really makes it all just sink in that much deeper, huh? ]

can't people just
buy earplugs
play music
why does everyone in this apartment have to be into voyeurism

[earthshine]

[ time: 7:43 pm.
location: estancia hotel.
reason: shiro taking down the assailant who has been eluding him for a year.

– gotta check in with keith first though. ]

I’m gonna be late tonight
I’m in pursuit of the Mystery Rider

[ how embarrassing; he capitalized it, like it’s an actual identity. ]

I think I finally have him cornered

[marmoron]

[ time: 7:44 pm
location: also the estancia hotel. what a curious coincidence.
reason: to help break someone out of their dick agnst.

no, but seriously. what had started out as a bit of playful teasing and amused 'oooh'ing over his boy's tales of a rogue rider has ballooned a little out of control. keith knows it's only a matter of time before shiro finally figures the whole situation out and he wants to at least end the narrative on his terms. and possibly with a bang... in many sense of the word.

he's prepared this well in advance, making sure to book the fanciest suite at the hotel and escape the garage by using the elevator that only guests with hotel rooms can access. from there? he's instructed the hotel staff to wait for a certain officer shirogane to appear in the lobby. wait a few minutes to give keith a couple minutes to make a few preparations before finally approaching him with a key card and a typed out note yhat reads penthouse suite.

any minute now, phase 2 of the plan will be put into motion and keith is equal parts nervous and excited.

and also distracted from running a hot bath with bubbles because of a ping.

it's a very worthwhile distraction though. ]

oh yeah?
what's happening?
