( WELCOME BACK, TRAVELERS. )



There's nothing but the clatter of train tracks, and the odd feeling of almost floating.

When you wake, it's hard to tell exactly what it is that you're missing - only that you are. There are pieces that aren't quite right, even if you're not sure where those pieces would normally be. Pieces of what, exactly....? Well, if you had to put a word to it, it would be - yourself, probably. Or did you get something back recently? In addition, characters will find that they've been allowed to bring back souvenirs from this most recent trip - trinkets, nothing violent, but items that can fit in your character's pockets, whether that be sentimental or otherwise.

The place you've found yourself in is strange, certainly. It's probably worth exploring a bit. For those who have been here a while, they might notice some expansions. Though it just as easily seems that the only form of welcome or explanation that you have, comes from nothing more than a slab of marble.

It might've changed since the last time you saw it. Today it reads:
(*´ω`)o That wasn't so bad, was it?
Hey, you know how that old song goes?
Do you believe in magic? (☆▽☆) Do ya?

Hope you found what you were looking for!

You might have changed since the last time you saw yourself too - perhaps with a new emblem on your clothes, or a portrait on your skin. In addition to that, it seems like Home Base is on the fritz again…?

It seems that suddenly and at random, characters will be able to suddenly see visions of memories that aren't their own flash before their eyes. Pieces of your lives or where you were before this will suddenly slam into other's heads, as clearly as if they experienced the event and the feelings themselves. You might have an inkling of where your memory went and what it was - but you'll need to talk it out with that person in order to recollect it in all its strength back to yourself. Don't you want to keep those precious parts of yourself? It's best if you don't fall more to pieces while you're here. (Memories that have been lost in fragments cannot be sent to others - that's more fun for the future!)

There's no need to fret that much though. You've already gone through the ordeal once, and you might be able to see results from it. Or maybe you'll get a glimpse of where you're going next. Even so, it's best that you don't get too comfortable, because there is still the unshakeable feeling:

There's still much more ahead of you.

YOUR WISH, MY COMMAND

[ even if itaru can't see her sword through the steam, he sure can recognize that voice as well. and unlike iris, shinobu can and will strike him down and give him a GAME OVER if he continues to pursue this, so -- ]

...Right, sorry about that.

[ while he makes for the other end of the bath, shinobu will get a rather silly memory (that lasts up to 7:45). but it's airsoft so it might be a little realistic to anyone who isn't familiar with the sport. ]

[ She's not unused to guns. They're just ineffective against the demons she has to fight. What she isn't used to is... how not athletic Itaru is. She doesn't know the sport, but what she does know is:

This is terrible. He's terrible. ]


Itaru. Even if you have no intentions of fighting, please care more about your wellbeing.

[ he truly is terrible... ]

Huh? Uh, yeah, I don't have any intention of fighting you at all. I'd straight-up lose.

[ he hasn't realized that shinobu's taken a peek at his pathetic memory, though. ]

[ How does she bring this up in a way that's not abrupt? There really isn't a good way. ]

While I can't refute that, I meant your sense of self-preservation is a little concerning for all the troubles we'll inevitably face.

[ ... ]

Perhaps learning how to breathe properly would enable you to run.

Breathing...?

[ HOW CAN HE BREATHE NORMALLY AT A TIME LIKE THIS

but shinobu's right, his own physical weakness might hinder himself and everyone else in the long run. ugh, but he hates exercise... ]


Well, if that's all I need to do, then I'll take you up on that offer. [ it's just inhale and exhale, right? sounds simple enough. ] Wait for me outside, I gotta get changed first.

[ This sweet summer child is going to suffer.

It's fine. He doesn't have to like exercise. That's not a requirement. ]


I won't make you do anything too strenuous.

[ It's going to be gentle in comparison to what she makes her successors do, but she does as asked and heads out to wait. ]
rateup: (pic#13585810)

[personal profile] rateup 2020-04-20 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ he's not a sweet summer child, he's a chill spring adult! he's still hanging on to the hopes that shinobu would be just as caring and affectionate to him like back then, so surely this'll be a cinch.

anyways he's here now, jogging in place, and his bangs tied up in that obnoxious bun. ]


So we're just going to meditate, right? Sit on the ground, close our eyes and breathe? I can do that.
wisterin: (a31)

[personal profile] wisterin 2020-04-21 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ he's a chill spring adult about to be plunged into a harsh cold winter.

She cares for him enough that she wants for him to survive, and for him to survive, he has to Get Good. At his question, she smiles brightly. ]


You're already moving. Let's keep moving, shall we?

[ Does she sound a little too cheerful? ]

Please try to tag me.

[ maybe she's that eager to help him out? even now she's got his back... it brings a tear to his eye, ngl.

but ugh, more running? itaru doesn't feel winded right now, so he'll press onward and reach out to tap shinobu's shoulder-- ]
wisterin: (005)

[personal profile] wisterin 2020-04-23 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ Except none of her superhuman abilities are fragments, so she's five feet away before he can blink.

Her smile is bright. ]


Come, now. I'm cheering for you.

[ eh? but he could've sworn he tapped her just now??

okay, let's try again. he sprints up to her, hand reaching out for her hand-- ]
wisterin: (018)

[personal profile] wisterin 2020-04-24 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
] Nope. He's too slow once again. She flits away from his reach at the very last second.

She's still smiling, composed. ]
rateup: (pic#13585809)

[personal profile] rateup 2020-04-25 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ aw, come on! ]

Just-- stay still...

[ and he tries one more time to get to her! but he's already panting a little... he really isn't made for this. ]
wisterin: (011)

[personal profile] wisterin 2020-04-26 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
If I stayed still, you wouldn't gain any stamina, and we can't have that.

[ She presses her fingers together even as she dances away from him, fluttering away like the butterfly adoring her hair. ]

Or we can try raising it another way? If you'd like to try that.

[ That he's already getting winded... Terrible. ]
rateup: (pic#13606156)

[personal profile] rateup 2020-04-26 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, let's... [ wheeze ] Let's try that other one. I'm too old to be playing tag, y'know?
wisterin: (005)

[personal profile] wisterin 2020-04-26 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
You're never too old to do something that will improve you. It's easier to learn with a game sometimes.

[ But he apparently wants to do it the harder way? ]

We'll have to see if the store has anything similar to what you need.
rateup: (pic#13744730)

[personal profile] rateup 2020-04-30 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ IF HE WANTED TO LEARN THROUGH GAMES SHE WOULD'VE MADE HIM PLAY WII SPORTS RESORT ]

Oh, what a relief. I mean -- let's take a look, shall we?

[ he's going to lead the way and see if he can get away from shinobu while he's ahead ]
wisterin: (005)

[personal profile] wisterin 2020-05-01 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ Foolish man. If he can't even hide properly, how can escape from someone with superhuman speed? ]

You can't outrun me, Itaru.

[ The truth is cheerful. ]

But you can try to outsmart me.
rateup: (pic#13574950)

[personal profile] rateup 2020-05-02 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
O-Outsmart you in what? I have no idea what you're talking about, Shinobu. I am simply... running like you told me to...

[ even so he's still picking up the pace, entering the shop and halting at one of the cash registers, wheezing for breath as he grips at the counter for dear life. ]
wisterin: (004)

[personal profile] wisterin 2020-05-03 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She laughs. ]

Do you think you can pull the wool over my eyes? Keep going!

[ No stopping! This is nothing? The Space is very little distance. Itaru, Get Good. ]

You need to find a ceramic gourd.
rateup: (pic#13585806)

[personal profile] rateup 2020-05-04 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh, so this is a fetch quest now. itaru... can do that...

he breaks into a run again, grabbing a cart and heading for the ceramics aisle just a few feet away to grab one of those gourds she was talking about. ]


C-Ceramic gourd get!
wisterin: (005)

[personal profile] wisterin 2020-05-04 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's not a fetch quest. ]

Now, you'll have to breathe into it until you can break it.

[ Can he accomplish this next objective?

He said he wanted the other method. And here it is. Ta da! ]


It doesn't have to be right away. It can be weeks.
rateup: (pic#13585809)

[personal profile] rateup 2020-05-07 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
For real?

[ does shinobu not realize that he's just a normie... man, if only she's easier to trick like grimnir.

itaru inhales, pauses right there for what seems to be a minute -- then puts down the gourd and runs for it. he'd rather do five laps around the store, thank you very much!! ]
