"And the problem is...?" - Shirogane

The problem was that he was fucking tired. There were only so many people who he could hate with a visceral, hot anger. Unfortunately, by the time Yomo came up in line, he was all out of it. The thought of Shini's unhappiness-- now made him uncomfortably sad, perhaps melancholic, but overall, disconnected. Was this what they called being emotionally burnt out? He didn't have enough fire to spare.

"That it's not my business" he answers. "I am only giving you a head start" -- and maybe, maybe if Yomo threw this to the side, maybe if this was all for vain, and that poor girl ended up alone again, maybe he would tear the man in front of him into pieces and bring the world count of spineless fools down by one.

“Something had changed in me. Towards everyone. That’s why I took a leave. How did you even find where I was?” Keana looked at the other. Everything had been so strained in the team because of her which is why she went to Paris on her forced leave. Now they had shown up on her flat’s doorstep, looking disheveled from the rain. Heaving an exhausted sigh she stepped to the side a bit. “Just… come in and dry off…”

"You're asking the wrong person--" is all Shirogane has to say about that as he crosses the threshold. Jaesung never lost track of anyone, and Keana had not been the the same kind of challenge for him, as it had been Shirogane. Did she even think about how abruptly leaving would impact the rest of them? He had been thoroughly schooled by Jaesung NOT to blow up at her, but he was having a hard time keeping his cool-- what the fuck were you thinking? do you have any idea how much of your stupid shit I have to pick up? why can't you just keep your head in the game like everyone else- and now I have to come running after you, what the fuck- but all he does is grit his jaw and shrug off his jacket and try not to take up any space, physical or conversational.

"We can fix this, right Keana?" Ikari asks, somewhat subdued. He can tell Shirogane is still bristling-- any spikes in emotion in the next conversation could tip him over and make things worse. "Come back, let us help you" where else do you have to go? "Things haven't been the same. You know-- I think we need you more than you need us. So-- I'm willing to do anything for you-- but I'll understand if you don't want to. I have to try though, you know? Please?"

@episentre liked for a blind date/speed dating starter!

          “i hope your night’s going a bit better than mine — just a heads up: the sink in the bathroom sprays water out and not down if you turn it up too high.” cedric clicks his tongue disapprovingly as he takes his seat across from his date. they had only talked briefly before this, and he hoped he had made a better first impression over text messages than he was doing now. the wet spot on the front of his shirt really was a sight for sore eyes, and even after dabbing away some of the water with a napkin, it’d be a while before the water could dry. 

          “have you ordered anything yet? the waiter came to take our drink orders earlier. i just got us waters, but if you’d like something else, feel free to ask.”

She gives him a stifled giggle and a sympathetic look of understanding- that little dampness seemed to make him all the more endearing. Mineko was trying her best not to dissolve into a puddle of happiness-- "Oh, my dear, I can't tell you how you've made my night, I..." and she trails off a bit, before picking up herself up again, "I don't want to be weird on the first date, but this is my very first date, ever"

He just seemed to gentle and kind, he could have her unravel all her secrets, if he asked. "I haven't ordered anything, I wanted to wait for you!", that and she didn't want to talk to anyone if she didn't have to, the less people she interacted with, the less likely the pop star would be recognized. She hopes he doesn't recognize her either, she wanted to tell him on her own terms, in her own time. "I can't wait to learn more about you! I'm being weird again but- just your good morning texts, they were like a big boost of serotonin for me!"

     Being unaware that he is being kept alive by a werewolf heart and that it is the heart of a female, Jaesung often ends up worse for wear when unknowingly battling things outside of his control. Roughly every month, or when the moon is full, he has ‘phases’ lasting from three days to seven days of heightened arousal. It includes, but is not limited to, severe insomnia ( unable to sleep for a minimum of forty-eight hours, up to a record of one hundred and twenty hours, beyond which is he is too terrified not to intervene ), lack of fatigability ( his body does not tire at all and he feels rested and fresh consistently ), a relatively high degree of irritability since he has so much energy that he doesn’t know what to do with and hyperphagia where he’ll just constantly eat if there’s food in front of him.

     While he could be using the ‘phases’ to their full potential, he ends up fighting these changes, spending hours tossing and turning in bed and eventually self-medicating to stay asleep ( again, not because he’s tired, but because of how out of routine it is, how unnatural it is, to not be tired and sleep after a whole day, two days, three days– it terrifies him ). He is not comfortable seeing a doctor for these problems since he’s spent a lot of time in a lab and an ICU bed and he doesn’t want that kind of intervention again. But he does regularly go into shady walk-in clinics and getting stronger and stronger sleeping prescriptions, even reaching a point where he’ll self-inject tranquilizer doses, just so he can force himself to sleep until everything is better again, only for the cycle to start all over from square one.

     Jaesung is very pre-occupied with getting rid of these symptoms, almost obsessively, since his military upbringing placed a very strong focus on doing things like clockwork, getting the right amount of rest, eating the right things on the right time– that he spends a lot of this excess energy subduing himself, trying to be ‘normal’. He could potentially have other effects he doesn’t know about yet, such as heightened senses, increased sexual drive and an ability to actually shift, but that’s really hard to discover when you are absolutely in denial that anything is wrong and keep drugging yourself to sleep.

* oh I forgot to mention, on the worse days, he may even have manic psychosis but it’s a result of his own self-medication and… yea, he really brings it on himself tbh.
