Hello again, everyone!

A split in two.

[ask-sou-midori]

something I know damn well is that I'm gonna die knowing that I made an oc before I knew who you were, who acts exactly like you.

Which means I am as sick as you.

//...are you talking to spark, midori, or me??

[kai-satou]

Sounds like a door just slammed open. Sounds like someone's fiddling with door keys. Sounds like the door's opening - oh fuck it's goddamn Hiyori. Goddammit not this fucking guy. -ask-sou-midori

Kai... somehow did not hear a thing. He heard ringing in his ears, and focused on keeping himself up. Focused on figuring out what to do. Focused on keeping himself awake. Focused on observing the room to see what he could get close enough to, to be able to look through and see what he can use for his escape. He wasn't content with waiting. No... he wouldn't get anywhere like that. He had to resist, he had to keep going, as he's always had.

Kai hadn't noticed the sounds of doors slamming, the sounds of keys jingling, the sounds of the locked door opening. He hadn't noticed. He hadn't looked up. The homemaker, still on his hands and knees, gazed onto the ground, ignoring his shaking hands and general quivering, thinking. Thinking. Thinking...

Stating the absolute obvious, but Kai didn't seem to be alright.

"What is-"

Kai, entirely exhausted, stops the bonking for now. Dunkin' Donuts? Donuts? More sweets? Spark could feel movement from the homemaker, as if... he was trying to squirm? He obviously couldn't do much though.

Ah, this person... didn't have any food at their house. Wait, what? Considering the people that live there... Are they poor?

"Shouldn't we be going grocery shopping if there is no food at your home? Don't you believe some soup would do some good right now? I can add mushrooms, or perhaps udon? Or some ramen noodles instead, if that is preferred. Ah, as well as some narutomaki and marinated eggs..."

Even in a situation like this, was Kai seriously still thinking specifics about food?? Yes, yes he was.

Though, as he was now placed into the passenger seat of a car, Kai looked about, keeping his utensils close. Of course, he buckled his seat belt. That was the first thing he does once entering a car, after all. Even if... this was a complete stranger's vehicle. Hearing the green man's words though... an injury? Yes, even with seat belts, there are still chances in which one may be injured. But...

"...Another...?"

He mutters quietly to himself, contemplating what the other meant by "another life-threatening injury". He doesn't have any current injuries. ...Does he?

"I am buckled up."

Ah, yes... stating the obvious.

[ask-sou-midori]

“Hi, Buckled Up, I’m Spark.” He grins as he starts to drive! “Nobody eats at my house, so we don’t need to go grocery shopping. Only Ai really gets food, and it’s always for Gin, so. I’m still working on the whole... taste thing. Though, Shin offered to let me map his taste buds! I’m hoping Gin could help too, to give us a bit more variation... Oh, if you felt like thanking me for saving you, letting me map yours would be a perfect way!”

This guy... really likes the sound of his own voice, huh.

“Anyway, yeah, we’ll get you some water, a breakfast sandwich, a donut or two... Probably good to fill you up now. Does Dunkin’ have sausages? Hm.” He’s just thinking out loud now.

[kai-satou]

Spark... Spark? Spark. Hm...

"Hello, Spark. I am Kai Satou. I'm afraid hearing of your name doesn't... spark any former memories of mine."

He, of course, makes a joke. With... the flattest, most expressionless face one could ever make with dead eyes.

But, upon hearing this... 'Spark' go on and on about not eating, tasting, and... mapping taste buds, Kai stared. And stared. New names have been heard, Shin... Ai.... he's heard of Gin before, that strange fellow who had messaged him not long after he awoke in that room. Unfortunately though, he didn't understand. They just... don't eat? But they would starve, surely. Had he got caught in a joke of his? He had to have been. How funny. Haha.

With a lack of a verbal response though, Kai only stared directly at Spark, his face showing clear disbelief and confusion.

"H...Huh."

Oh! It seemed that was the only thing he could mutter out.

[ask-sou-midori]

Spark glances at Kai, his eyebrow twitching slightly. Hm. Spark didn’t really question it, since it made the whole rescue thing a lot easier, but... he really is acting kinda strange, isn’t he? Not having any memories would certainly explain that. Would bringing them back be a good thing? Spark still doesn’t remember a lot of things himself, from back when he first started glitching...

“Hey, Satou,” he starts, still paying attention to the road. “Just checking, but, is there anything you DO remember? Because... none of the stuff I just said should be news to you. Is it that you only remember your own name? Or do you remember your assignment? Or...?” A mystery to solve! Spark loves those. He does crosswords every day. Wordle too. Puzzles!

[ask-sou-midori]

Does he notice the funky doll man running over and trying to help him up??? "Satou? Fuck, Satou, okay, take it slow, jesus fucking christ... I'm sorry, I completely-- look, that's not important. Can you stand? Satou?"

Spark is very, very pointedly avoiding looking at the chair or fucked up head scratcher. Very pointedly.

[kai-satou]

Stepstepstepstep-

Ah, what was... that? It seems Kai is finally starting to hear things other than the ringing of his own ears. He was about to look up, to see who's behind those rushing steps that only seem to get closer. That was... until he felt a touch on his back. Something in front of him- Someone?

Kai suddenly looks up, into the eyes of the one in front of him.

Who....

"H...Huh...?"

Who.... is this....?

"Who...are....."

One part of him wants to get away, that this person- But-

"G...Get... away..."

Kai mutters, flinching from the other man's touch. But the door, it's open now, wasn't it? The homemaker tried to move, but was once again caught by his chained leg, stumbling back down to the ground.

[ask-sou-midori]

"I'll get away after you feel better." Spark's words are firm, leaving no room for negotiation. He rummages in his hoodie pockets, looking for any kind of food - oh! He pulls out a candy bar. He took Ai's hoodie by mistake, he guesses - since this candy is actually Gin's favorite, he must have bought it for when he visits next... Spark'll get him a new one. He opens the wrapper and clasps it in Kai's hands, holding it towards his mouth, before getting up, looking around the room. Still not looking in that specific direction.

He doesn't have the key anymore... He can't undo the chain, it's probably with his other self... Ugh... He goes to the wall and inspects where the chain meets the wall. An idea comes to mind... He doesn't have tools or anything, and leaving Kai here definitely isn't an option.

But...

He winces. Would it really be so bad just leaving him here? Who cares either way...? He glances to the door. Nothing stopping him from just going home...

He runs a hand through his bangs. This fucking sucks.

Pointedly not looking at the other thing in the room, he walks over and picks up the chair before walking back to the wall. He angles it so the leg hits the wall, and--

SLAM!!

He starts slamming the chair into the wall, trying to break out the bolts, or at least crack the wall enough to wiggle them out.

[kai-satou]

"G-Get... off...!"

Why? This person is trying to help him... so why doesn't he accept any sort of touch from the man? His mind is struggling to come up with any coherent thoughts, his head pounding from everything going on. Kai was about to attempt getting away again, only to notice the green man pulling back, reaching into... a hoodie. So messy... Did they just wake up or something...?

But soon enough, the other took out a- candy bar? Kai wanted to reach out and snatch it. Although it wasn't exactly healthy, Kai was quite literally weak from starvation, so anything would be fantastic. Thankfully, he didn't need to make a scratch on his dignity, as the green individual took ahold of his hands (in which Kai quivered from the touch) and placed the bar in it. The homemaker grumbled as his hand was guided towards his mouth. Did the man not believe he could feed himself?

Kai had to contemplate. Should he really eat this? Knowing bits and pieces of his life previously, the bar of candy could quite literally be something of poison, or anything of the like. Another test... Tests intended to mold the homemaker. The green haired man in the room with him was... suspicious. Seeing him by the wall checking the chains- How could one have the keys to this room, but not have the key to his chained leg? But... this bar was the only thing he was able to eat in who knows how long. Perhaps he could take his chances...

...

Nom.

...

If his suspicions were correct, this was...

Nom.

...Some delicious poison.

Munching on the candy bar with content, Kai hadn't noticed the other in the room picking up the tipped over chair, aiming it to where the chain met the wall.

SLAM!!

Kai almost choked on the candy bar, whipping his head over to the source of the noise. What was that man doing?! He seriously didn't have the key?! The restraint on his leg only seemed to get tighter to the homemaker. Tighter, squeezing the flesh. Kai lets out a hiss at the increasing discomfort and pain.

Whatever the green man was trying to do, he better do it fast.

...

Nom.

[ask-sou-midori]

It takes the green man a couple minutes to break it loose enough to yank out of the wall. Woohoo! Success!

He coils the chain up in his arms and walks back over to Kai. “Satou, can you walk? I can carry you if not.”

[kai-satou]

Kai had watched the entire time, closely looking as the other went loco crazy on the wall like some sort of maniac. As the minutes go by of Spark trying to remove the chains from the wall, the homemaker eventually finished up the candy bar, much to his disappointment. Due to the chains still very much clinging to Kai's leg, he felt the movement of the green man coiling up the chains, but hadn't commented on it. Once the man spoke to him, however...

"I can- I can walk myself, thank you."

Kai's gaze shifts to the side, away from the man in front of him. The homemaker lets out a quiet grunt as he makes another attempt at getting back up...

Now back on his feet, Kai tried to keep his balance. His legs- Ah. They're heavily shaking. Unfortunately, the homemaker couldn't keep himself up, as he fell over to the ground once more. Pins and needles- He hadn't used his legs in so long... the restraints squeezing one of his legs didn't help in the slightest.

...

"Ah..."

...

"It seems... I was mistaken."

[ask-sou-midori]

Spark watches with awe as Kai stands, and with mild dismay as he plops. Damn. Spark sighs and hikes Kai over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, grabbing the chain as well. “Come on. Mapes can probably break this off.”

To the Sparkai homeshold...! Spark wonders if they even have food there to feed him. Aw fuck.

[kai-satou]

Kai... couldn't do a thing about what Spark was doing at all, due to his... "condition", so he allowed the man to pick him up and carry him. All he could really do at the moment was cling on tight.....................to his own cooking utensils.

Mapes? A stranger to the homemaker, of course. Stranger after stranger- Who else will he come across that he doesn't know? Or... did he know of them previously, but had simply forgotten along with everything else? Kai wouldn't know. He doesn't know... anything.

Right now, Kai had only went with the flow.

...

Along with occasionally bonking Spark in the back with his ladle.

...

"Where are we going?"

[ask-sou-midori]

Spark represses his annoyance at the bonking. “Probably Dunkin’ Donuts, first. My place doesn’t have any food in it at all, considering the people who live there!”

Spark walks to his car and slumps Kai in the passenger seat. “Buckle up! Unless you want another life-threatening injury, in which case, please get one somewhere that is not my car.”

Drive time!!

[ask-sou-midori]

WHAT DID YOU DO TO KAI

“OKAY LOOK. I DON’T. REALLY KNOW. I GOT SLAMMED INTO THE GROUND AND MALFUNCTIONED, REMEMBER?!” Spark looks a little indignant.

Who....

"H...Huh...?"

Who.... is this....?

"Who...are....."

One part of him wants to get away, that this person- But-

"G...Get... away..."

Kai mutters, flinching from the other man's touch. But the door, it's open now, wasn't it? The homemaker tried to move, but was once again caught by his chained leg, stumbling back down to the ground.

"I'll get away after you feel better." Spark's words are firm, leaving no room for negotiation. He rummages in his hoodie pockets, looking for any kind of food - oh! He pulls out a candy bar. He took Ai's hoodie by mistake, he guesses - since this candy is actually Gin's favorite, he must have bought it for when he visits next... Spark'll get him a new one. He opens the wrapper and clasps it in Kai's hands, holding it towards his mouth, before getting up, looking around the room. Still not looking in that specific direction.

He doesn't have the key anymore... He can't undo the chain, it's probably with his other self... Ugh... He goes to the wall and inspects where the chain meets the wall. An idea comes to mind... He doesn't have tools or anything, and leaving Kai here definitely isn't an option.

But...

He winces. Would it really be so bad just leaving him here? Who cares either way...? He glances to the door. Nothing stopping him from just going home...

He runs a hand through his bangs. This fucking sucks.

Pointedly not looking at the other thing in the room, he walks over and picks up the chair before walking back to the wall. He angles it so the leg hits the wall, and--

SLAM!!

He starts slamming the chair into the wall, trying to break out the bolts, or at least crack the wall enough to wiggle them out.

Sounds like a door just slammed open. Sounds like someone's fiddling with door keys. Sounds like the door's opening - oh fuck it's goddamn Hiyori. Goddammit not this fucking guy. -ask-sou-midori

Kai... somehow did not hear a thing. He heard ringing in his ears, and focused on keeping himself up. Focused on figuring out what to do. Focused on keeping himself awake. Focused on observing the room to see what he could get close enough to, to be able to look through and see what he can use for his escape. He wasn't content with waiting. No... he wouldn't get anywhere like that. He had to resist, he had to keep going, as he's always had.

Kai hadn't noticed the sounds of doors slamming, the sounds of keys jingling, the sounds of the locked door opening. He hadn't noticed. He hadn't looked up. The homemaker, still on his hands and knees, gazed onto the ground, ignoring his shaking hands and general quivering, thinking. Thinking. Thinking...

Stating the absolute obvious, but Kai didn't seem to be alright.

Does he notice the funky doll man running over and trying to help him up??? "Satou? Fuck, Satou, okay, take it slow, jesus fucking christ... I'm sorry, I completely-- look, that's not important. Can you stand? Satou?"

Spark is very, very pointedly avoiding looking at the chair or fucked up head scratcher. Very pointedly.

"I hate gay people!"

[ask-sou-midori]

Somewhere in a bathroom post-robo-sex, Spark feels a pain in his metal heart. As though a bond built through cardboard has been shattered.

[ask-sou-hiyori]
