Kaichi Riseiin

Howzit, brah?

[aichiume]

Motive Open/Reaction

Ume knew something was wrong when she woke up the second time and her head felt as if it was on fire. Moving slowly to her legs, she stumbles, balance unfitting for a ballerina as she pressed a hand against the wall to be supported. A sudden rush of anxiety overcomes Ume, and she lets out a struggled gasp. The symptoms repeat in her head like a taunting chant, dread in her stomach as she realizes what’s happened.

Ume Aichi has been infected.

Fists tightening weakly, her cheek twitches, and usually her she would be angry. No, Instead, she felt a wave of sadness, melachony. She felt helpless, and lonely, and scared. Her lip trembles, then, she lets out a stressed cry.

“A…..Aa….” tears stream down her face as she hunches over, a sharp contrast to her usual confident stance. “W-W-What’s happenin’!?” she inquires, startled.

[shslpurpledude]

Even someone as perpetually distracted as Kaichi couldn’t help but notice a suddenly crying girl wobbling in place.

“Hey. You all right? Need some water’r anything?”

A virus, huh? Was that what she’d said?

“Well, that’s not cool.”

In such close quarters it was probably impossible not to come down with it eventually unless it was just bloodborne or something. He had a feeling that wasn’t the case.

It wasn’t like the wahine would give them any vaccines after everything she’d said, and there wasn’t much they could do about the symptoms besides a little aspirin.

Kaichi ended up wandering to the pallet of food, examining it carefully. Nothing very fresh-looking. After a minute of this, he heard someone close behind him.

“Howzit, brah? Hungry?”

“There’s no place for us to really change”

Yayoi looked up at Kaichi before gesturing around the room. That was probably unnecessary.

“Also Riseiin-san, I need my blazer back, do you still have it?” 

Kaichi glanced around the room.

“Guess not. Might be able to hide behind the pillar things for the clothesline? Dunno.”

He frowned. “Uh, dunno. What color was it again?”

New Sights || Yayoi || Chapter 2 Open

After regaining consciousness the second time, Yayoi made her way over to the small new area that was available. It was nice to have a washer and dryer and some new clothes in this awful place, Yayoi had been wearing her current outfit since she woke up here, so it was nice to be able to wash them.  She looked through the clothes on the shelf and took a grey t-shirt and black pants. 

Unfortunately, there didn’t appear to be a decent place to change, which made things a bit difficult for her. She thought quietly to herself.

“What to do…”

[shslpurpledude]

Standing awkwardly frozen with stuff in hand seemed like a signal for help to him. Kaichi ambled over.

“Hey. What’s going on?”

Ume scrunches her nose. “It’s just so….untasteful.” Her eyes scan his body before her cheeks turn red and she looks away in a huff. “I mean, really. J-Just ‘cause we’re in this situation doesn’t mean y’gotta be like…that.”

[shslpurpledude]

“Like what? Attractive?”

Room with a slightly bigger view then before./Chapter Two/Open

Well…Goto felt sick to his stomach. He had hoped, prayed to a god he didn’t think was real that this game wouldn’t be like that one event, that he wouldn’t be stuck watching people die and be unable to do anything about it. But as 3 of his fellow captives were now dead…it was hard to have hope.

I’m…….not good.

He muttered. All of this was weighing heavy on him and the “reward” of having more room to explore didn’t help at all. It was taunting him, like “Good Job for sending a poor teen to their death and mutilating another”

“I…need to……..detective.

The words that left his mouth didn’t make much sense but he just slowly walked over to this new section of the room and began to look around.

[shslpurpledude]

It wasn’t hard to figure out something was wrong with the poor guy, but Kaichi wasn’t sure what could be done about it.

“Finding anything good? We can always go and draw on the wall some more if you want.”

Ume seems disgusted with all this food talk. She decides to change the topic.

“….Why don’t y’have yer shirt back yet? That guy holdin’ it hostage?”

[shslpurpledude]

Kaichi laughed.

“Guess so! You disappointed, brah?”

Silhouette | Hibiki | Ch2 Start / Open

In a place like this, it was pretty hard to do anything without being noticed. You sort of got used to always seeing what your fellow captives were doing. Some of them were… less active than others. Mack really liked fidgeting with things, and was always with Kayanagi. Kaichi still hadn’t put a shirt back on. Goto was as weird as ever. So was Sphyraena, who hadn’t taken off that stupid cape-thing the entire time they’d been here. Those were all things Hibiki had noticed, silently watching people between a frankly unhealthy amount of naps. It was sort of interesting to watch people, but it got kinda boring after a while. And this stupid hospital gown was starting to stink. Mack had been poking around some sort of laundry storage earlier - maybe there were spare clothes there?

Putting in effort they weren’t aware they had, Hibiki hauled themself from their bed and into the wheelchair. Nice of the person(?) that took a chainsaw to them to provide accommodations. Hibiki sighed. They never thought they’d reach a point in their life where that would be a thought they had. They wheeled themself over to the laundry storage, and began to sort through the clothes. They were in the middle of inspecting a debatably clean shirt when they heard footsteps behind them, and turned around as fast as they could… which wasn’t very fast, but that was okay.

“….” they were silent for a moment, before quickly snapping, “What do you want?”

[shslpurpledude]

Kaichi blinked, pulling back.

“Uh, same thing you want, prolly. Li’l chilly in here, hey?”

He glanced over the shelf. “Looks like you don’t need any help reaching—” he stretched his arms up to tap at the top shelf whose contents he couldn’t even see from here—”so I’ll just hang back for a sec, I guess.”

His attitude still didn’t seem to be normal right now. Sphyraena wasn’t displeased at all, but it continued to give him its usual stare. Almost felt like it never blinked.

“… We suppose so.”

It looked down at the can in Kaichi’s hands. Whatever that was looked gross, but maybe edible.

“Is that our only food option here..?”

[shslpurpledude]

Kaichi looked at the SPAM and over his shoulder at the food pile.

“Not seeing anything but canned junk and dry junk. Not even a stove, ‘less I missed it somewhere.“ He groaned. “I’d kill for a good burrito right now.”

An odd way to describe its cloak, but all right. Sphyraena continued watching closely. It didn’t think a cloak would suit Kaichi at all.

“… No. We would not. Your boring shirt suits you better.”

Just why was it paying so much attention to his shirt again?

“Your look of indifference does not. We see it as though… You are not affected by what has just happened, not in the slightest.”

[shslpurpledude]

“Geez. Guess I gotta find a better shirt if you’re gonna keep calling it that.”

Kaichi paused for a while, staring down at the can in his hands. He looked back up.

“I live in the moment, all right?”

“Not too hard if you work on it a while.”

“Y’sayin yer naturally an idiot?” Ume teases with a smirk. Her arms relax before she crosses them to her chest. She looks away as Kaichi at the food, bitiing back a disgusted look as her nostrils flared.

“Ugh. Y’must b’hungry.”

[shslpurpledude]

“Sure, why not.”

He sucked on his fingers. “Yeah. Not seeing any burritos, sadly. This’ll have to do.”

Ume flinches at the sound of the can meeting the floor, her fists tightening. She looks away from Kaichi, already ashamed of herself. Part of her is relieved that if she’s going to be like this, at least Kaichi is the one to see it. Why? That’s such a weird thought. The ballerina bites her cheek at his words.

“Heh. Y’want people t’think yer an idiot? That’s not a bad idea for a situation like this.” she mutters to herself, biting her lip at the apology. Ume’s never really been apologized to before. She looks at him with a tired expression.

“….Thanks.” 

Ume makes a naseuated face at the can. A hand goes to her stomach, and she shakes her head.

“…I’ll pass.”

[shslpurpledude]

“Don’t necessarily want to, but ‘s a li’l hard to help.”

Kaichi smiled at the thanks before blinking and eyeing the can. After a moment of contemplation, he shrugged.

“Guess this is pretty nasty uncooked.”

He ate another scoop.

Well, okay then. It didn’t care before but with the temperature back to normal, putting a shirt back on would be wise. Even if Kaichi’s barely covered anything as it was.

Sphyraena let out a sigh.

“We think your shirt is boring. But is it not a decent idea to put it back on, now..?”

[shslpurpledude]

Kaichi took another bite of SPAM without a care in the world.

“Why would I try to make myself more boring? Doesn’t make much sense. Wouldn’t you rather me end up with some funky badass cloak like you?”

Sphyraena wasn’t exactly sure how Kaichi ever pulled any of this off. He was far too calm in this situation, as though the punishment shown… Didn’t happen. All it could do was stare, curious and trying to read him. This was definitely nothing new. Catching it like this was something almost everyone had done. The only thing it didn’t like was being pointed out.

Glancing to the side, Sphyraena folded its hands in its lap and coughed. It looked as though it was thinking of something to say for a moment. Nothing came to mind right away.

“Your shirt. Or… The one you no longer are wearing. Why?”

Aaaand staring. That was always nice. Did he have something on his face? He went ahead and wiped his mouth on his arm.

“Why what, exactly? Why can’t you have a cool one just like it? Can’t answer that, brah.”

This guy was getting on Ume’s nerves. However, her usual glare is softened and there’s noticeable mascara runs down her cheeks. She’s standing over the food. not moving to grab any, merely placing her hands on the shelf and leaning forward slightly. Eyes red and fresh tears still streaming down her face, she rubs her eye and turns to face Kaichi.

“…Why didn’t y’just tell m’th’truth?” she croaks, hands forming to fists. “…Y’just wanted to make m’look like an idiot, didn’t you? That could have cost us our lives.”

Kaichi dropped the can of SPAM with a clatter.

“Uh, hey, let’s calm down? You okay?”

“...Look, I never try to make anybody but me look like an idiot. I’m sorry if it seemed like I had some ill intent or something, because I didn’t. I never do. ‘Kay? But, uh, seriously, you need some water’r anything?”

He bent to scoop up the can. Though he’d already scooped out some portions with his fingers, he made a gesture to offer it to her.

“Or some gourmet cooking?”

Kaichi came to on a cot still damp around his ankles. He squinted up at the ceiling for a while—just a large, digital display of the time—before rolling off the bed. Sure looked like he’d slept in something fierce. Either way, he was starving.

He wandered around the room for a bit before locating the high-stacked pallets of food. No burritos in sight. Dang.

He settled for a can of SPAM and a bottle of water and settled down against one of the walls. Kind of cold in here.

Eventually he realized someone else had eyes on him. He blinked.

“ ‘Sup?”

[aichiume]

Ume clicks her tongue, annoyed.

“M’fine.” she replies stubbornly, grabbing onto his shoulder for support. Her grip is rather weak.

“Just….Ugh, is there really no way outta here?’ She looks at the floor. She really doesn’t want to sit down, but she might not have a choice.

[shslpurpledude]

“...If you’re fine, that means you’re grabbing me ‘cause you want to.”

He winced but glanced at the ground. “What, 's there a trapdoor or something?”

He scuffed a foot across the ash and trash, but not enough to get too much between his toes and slippers. With another wince, his shoulders stiffened. “Ugh.”

He shook it off and frowned at one of the walls.

“What’s that?”
