“ … nnnno? ” Junpei’s head tips a bit to the side, confusion etched into his tone, though there isn’t any sort of irritation, “ Thanks, I guess? ” he shrugs a bit, a small smirk playing onto his expression, “ Do you usually randomly compliment people, or was that an attempt at a pick-up line? ”

“ Uh, well -- “ that definitely caught him off guard. Ichiro let out a nervous laugh and scratched his now red cheek.

“ I mean, I was just trying to make conversation, but it can be taken as a pick-up line if you want it to be,” no, that sounded way too awkward. Dammit, Ichiro, think.

“ In a friendly way, I mean, not like that way! We just met, so...! “

BEING IN A NEW WORLD was one hell of a relief! Maybe there was a little guilt, his dad would be all alone without him – he wants to say, serves him right. He didn’t exactly hate it there ( a man could never hate a place he used to call home, after all ), but he sure as hell disagreed with a lot of things. Maybe in this place, he would be able to live out a life that combined what he was raised with, along with his own ideals. (Hell, maybe he can get a roomba here since his dad never let him get one!)

While he certainly missed those in Bad Ass Temple – he trusted that they could take care of themselves until they either found him – or he could get back to them. One of the two. He kicks a small rock in his way, choosing to keep kicking it along as he walked. Eventually, it hits a pedestrian – but not just anyone. 

IT REALLY HAD TO BE HIM, HUH?

“ What the hell are you doing here. ” He had to be civil in this new world. He wasn’t sure what the authority was like, so he can’t go around causing trouble – but fuck yeah, he was gonna get mouthy about his – well, feelings.

Onions, check. Rice, check. Stack of limited edition manga that he just happened to find in the nearby store on his way home, check. Let’s just hope that his roommate wouldn’t mind the smell of curry when he got back.

Today was a good day-- the sun was out, the manga and ingredients were half off, and everyone he talked to seemed to be in a good mood. There was nothing that could get him down...

... Or so he thought.

He grunted when he ran into someone and stumbled back for a few moments. “Shit, sorry, I should have been paying attention. Are you alright--” ... He fell silent, his eyes wide in shock when he saw who he bumped into. Red hair, yellow eyes filled with malice...

“K-Kuko...!?” he choked out, taking two steps back. 

“I should be asking YOU that. When the-- Why are you here!?” he could feel his heart hammering loud in his ears and making him a little bit lightheaded. This was some kind of dream, right?

“... Are you hurt!?”

     ‘ Hey-- ‘ wasn’t that the scary guy from Jakurai’s group? Right now, he looked like he was on the verge of toppling over if Ichiro just touched him.

     ‘ You’re uh, Doppo-san, right? Are you alright? Do you need me to help you with anything? I can get you some water or something-- ‘ wow, this was awkward.

@edgejumped​

‘ Hey-- Has anyone ever told you that you look like a protagonist from a sci-fi movie? Not that that’s a bad thing or anything, I mean-- you look great! ‘

     ‘ I can’t say that being able to just unlock this thing with my bare hands is my best party trick, but at least I can say that I know how to pick a lock now! ‘ 

     ‘ It’s still kinda lame compared to all these people who have these cool abilities, though. Have you SEEN some of the stuff people have? I saw a guy shoot ICE out of his hands just a few days ago!  ‘

[ichibukuro]

hey guys! I needed to take a breather for a bit to sort things out irl, but since I have a few days off this week, I’m gonna spend my time getting caught up on threads and starting new interactions.

So! Do me a favor and like this post for a short starter from yours truly (going to cap this at 3, with castmates exempt! Thank you for understanding!)

[ichibukuro]

hey guys. sorry for the sudden absence again. i’ve been hard on the job hunt, so i’ve been... not here, lol.

im gonna be doing stuff tomorrow when i wake up, and since my schedule is rather easygoing next week I should be around to get stuff done. thank you for being patient with me!

[ichibukuro]

Ok, I’ve managed to get some replies done, so I’m calling it a night. I’ll try and get more done tomorrow if I’m not too exhausted after work. Goodnight, everyone!

     “ Eh, your brothers ? ” He put a finger to his chin in thought despite the answer requiring none. A moment later, Ramuda gave a  DEFINITIVE  shake of his head. “ Nope ! Just Ichiro. If they were here, they’d probably have found you before me ! ” Those brothers stuck together like glue, after all. They  REALLY  must not have been around.

          “ But hmm… what do you mean ‘ strange ’ ? Everything is kinda weird around here, isn’t it ? ” Could he have been referring to this mysterious  NIGHTLY  terror ? “ I’ve seen lots of people practicing magic and some people that look like animals ! Do you mean that ? ”

‘ Really? You haven’t seen them... at all? ‘ oh, just fan fucking tastic-- now his brothers are nowhere to be safe, either. He balled his hands into fists for a split second, but he calmed down for a moment.

‘ Maybe they’re lost or something-- I’m sure they’re somewhere. I don’t think the princess is fucked up enough to just tear us apart... ‘ but then again, the Universe was pretty cruel to the Yamadas in a variety of ways, so he could never be too sure. Still, all he could do was hope they were safe.

‘ I’ll look for them later, but first-- Magic and animals? I’ve seen a couple of people doing that, yeah. It’s honestly REALLY overwhelming, it’s like we got put in some weird fantasy anime, and it seems like I got powers, too! ‘

death always will taste bitter, won’t it ?  even khalid can’t make that taste sweet.

“  more powerful than that, i think.  ”    the concept of sages is nothing new to him. it’s a different word for the same thing :    “  hope.  these sages, they grant power, protection, security. there’s hope to be had in that, especially for people who aren’t born with those things.  ”

isn’t that just a tragedy in the making ?  another landscape but it plays out the same way. hope as a thing with wings, and their backs bloody with the weight of carrying it.

“  there’s nothing people won’t do to defend hope.  ”

‘ Yeah, you’ve got a point there, ‘ hope, huh. That’s something Ichiro once believed in ( and still did, to an extent ), but even he knew that hope alone was not enough to instill confidence or prevent bad things from happening. 

‘ Not to sound cynical, but it all sounds a bit too good to be true, don’t you think? I mean, we were just thrown in here and told the sages will protect us and all that, but we don’t know much more than that, ‘ he sighs and runs his hand through his hair.

‘ Don’t get me wrong, though. I’m grateful that they’ve given us a place to stay and that they ARE protecting us, but I can’t shake the feeling that there’s something off about this, and they’re using out hope that they’ll keep us safe to hide what’s really going on, y’know? ‘

‘ Of course, it isn’t a bad thing to rely on people that are stronger than them, especially since most people came here with nothing more than the clothes on their back. I guess I’m just overthinking everything... Sorry, I didn’t mean to sour the mood. ‘

@ichibukuro

the marketplace is bustling as expected from a place of trade,   but what confuses her entirely is how people are making purchases.   rather than the usual barter of items,   or the usage of gold and silver coins,   they’re exchanging cards and strange machines.   it vaguely looks familiar to her own,   her name embellished in the front with a curious design;   but this is given to her from the nobility of this land.   she has no information regarding just what this is nor how to use it.

so she looks behind her with a quick turn,   finding the first person who doesn’t look like they’re completely lost,   and walks resolutely to them.   her hand has the plastic card,   which she aggressively shoves into the other person’s face with some irritation.

❝   explain to me how to use this   ?   ❞

[ichibukuro]

‘ -- Huh? ‘

Well, Ichiro certainly didn’t expect that. He was just on his way back from his usual shopping trip when he was stopped by a woman, who... shoved her credit card in his face? Well, first for everything, he supposed. He adjusted the bag on his shoulder before he gently pulled her hand down to get the card out of his face.

‘ First, you probably shouldn’t wave that around complete strangers. If it gets stolen, you’ll be screwed. Second... What do you mean by ‘show me how to use this’? Is this your first time with a credit card, cause if it is... Well, all you gotta do is swipe it in one of those devices when you’re ready to buy stuff. ‘

[ichibukuro]

||  █ ▌— ❝ is it weird to say i’ve never had a roommate? ❞ prompto asks, glancing around the apartment. it’s got enough space for two people, easy. he’s just not used to needing to share amenities in the place he’s living.

❝ i mean, i’ve stayed in hotel rooms with friends, but i barely even shared a home with my parents growing up, you know? and yeah, the buildings are weird here, aren’t they? i kinda like the way they look, though. ❞

‘ Well, that makes two of us, then-- unless you count having two younger brothers running around as roommates! ‘ 

‘ I get what you mean, though. I had a friend that I would bunk in a hotel with sometimes when I didn’t feel like going back home, but other than that, it’s just been me and my brothers against the world. ‘

He takes a couple of steps towards the kitchen, tapping his chin pensively. Is there anything in the fridge...? He felt his stomach growl at the thought-- he totally forgot when the last time he ate was!

‘ Hey, actually, do you wanna come with me to find the store, wherever it is? I can cook a mean curry, and meanwhile you can tell me more about your friends. I bet you have some interesting stories, unless you want me to talk your ear off about my brothers all night! ‘
