It had taken several ill-fated attempts at flight before Tavis even began to consider the crude map. He and Gan were no stranger to spontaneous travel and unfamiliar surroundings, such circumstances, while peculiar, aren’t concerning. The sudden severance of his connection with the clouds above most certainly is. 

Still, much as unease eats at his gut, Tavis gathers his most inconvenienced attitude, and alongside his teammate, navigates to their supposed destination.

...

Nothing happens. His brow gives a warning twitch, and Starfire pipes up to give voice to her own confusion. Tavis grumbles vaguely in response, glaring at the riverbank as if to intimidate the serene landscape into explanation. 

...Still nothing. Atop a nearby oak, a bird chirps and twitters away, as if mocking his grounded status, and at last his vast patience runs dry. 

“Augh! How am I to know?! Perhaps this would-be mapmaker is nothing but a blithering simpleton!”

He kicks one of the nearby stones ruthlessly into the flowing stream, half-muttering of damnable riddles and numbingly vague instructions.

As his stay in Jump City begins to look more and more like a full-time residence, Kamakiri has acclimated himself somewhat to the Titans presence. He’ll admit, given his employer’s tendencies towards the less than legal, their presence was still something of a risk, but compared to the sea of cackling megalomaniacs and sadists that seemed to scuttle and swarm along the underbelly of this city, it seems his particular brand of moral greyness has been deemed somewhat acceptable.

For now. He’s not going around tormenting people, certainly--and when he can...he’s not averse to a little crime-fighting, himself. That helps, he supposes.

All this is to say, spotting Starfire on the rooftops doesn’t alarm him, nor does it trigger any particular gnawing suspicion, no rush of adrenaline, simply a calm curiosity. Of all the titans he’s sparsely interacted with, Starfire seems to regard him with the most trust (along with the little green one) and while even he isn’t sure that’s a good idea, the faith puts him at ease a bit. 

And so he approaches, brows raising, slight, as he’s noticed. The girl’s eyes light up, but there is a forced quality to her smile that he’s quick to catch. Odd.

“...would it matter either way?” 

He gets a bit closer, enough to form a respectful, if companionable gap between them. Kamakiri fixes his gaze out over the painted clouds, cast in bright hued reds and oranges as the sun begins its slow descent. 

“I’m not going to pry, if that’s what you’re getting at.”

Kamakiri doesn’t often find himself imprisoned in a standard jail cell, though whether he can chalk that up to his abilities or simple lack of ham-handed villainy he’ll never quite be sure. A slip-up like this does terrible things to one’s pride, and typically, he’d be inclined to stay swathed in sullen silence as he formulates an escape route.

Typically, however, Kamakiri doesn’t happen to be sharing a cell with one of Jump City’s most prolific heroes.

Koriand’r--alias: Starfire, provides a voice in his mind. He’d been certain to study the more high profile presences in this area before arriving--more out of caution than any sense of animosity. He finds this whole widespread hero-villain debacle silly, to be frank--as if one’s morals and motivations can be so clearly sorted into two neat piles--but that is a subject for another time. 

He processes Starfire’s claims with only a contemplative nod, huffing faintly at the introduction.

“I know who you are. It’s why I’m curious, really. You’d think the police would know better than to go jailing high profile heroes for a little collateral damage.” 

It’s a little sinister, quite frankly--considering the circumstances of his own capture. He’s taken strides to keep any rumors of his presence to a minimum, and even then, to be hunted down on account of mere trespassing? It’s...suspicious. 

As for Starfire’s other queries...well, he’d rather avoid giving out any information he doesn’t have to.

8, 11 and 35 of the be honest meme!

the be honest meme.   aka things you lowkey want to talk about but don’t because you don’t know how to bring it up. send me a number and i’ll tell you the honest truth. either a simple yes or no answer or a detailed response.

8. Name any three things about the rpc that bother you.

hm. well first thing that comes to mind isn’t a community issue but rather a tumblr one? but MAN i wish sideblogs weren’t so...the way they are. it makes interacting with people, esPECIALLY those you haven’t talked to before, really complicated and weird, and makes putting yourself out there even more laborious. i get why things are the way they are! being unable to act under the sideblog’s username probably prevents some amount of easy sockpuppeting, but boy. as someone who really can’t juggle multiple accounts properly, a better system for sideblogs would be...appreciated. 

er...there are issues i have that i don’t think are necessarily enforced by the community either--as they’re more prevalent things that make me insecure or pressured to do things a certain way to be “correct” even when they’re difficult and unpleasant for me? for example i have a lot of trouble writing general summaries of characters or verses or organizing blog pages/making cool themes, and while from an OUTSIDE perspective i get the need for proper organization, it just stresses me out and usually ends up making me feel a wee bit inferior. i should stress again this isn’t me saying those things are BAD at all, just that my inability to do things “properly” tends to get me down in the dumps, even when i know that’s not particularly fair to myself. 

i...can’t really think of a third thing? tumblr rp has gotten a lot less toxic imo, at least in the tiny circles i tend to travel in. i guess it’s difficult that things are a bit insular and can feel a little lonely?

11. What do you know now about rp that you wish you knew when you first started?

THIS. IS NOT. YOUR JOB. 

i mean i suppose i already “knew” that logically, but when i was younger and in a very isolated place socially tumblr rp was one of the only like...sources of socialization and validation i had in my life? which was uh...obviously bad, and the intensity to which i would beat myself up for not doing things ‘right’ or that being a small presence online indicated my character writing was flawed and the like--it was just really hard! and i think i’ve gotten better at taking a step back from that. i can fall into the occasional mopey pitfall from time to time (esp on kamakiri where interactions are pretty sparse) but i like to think i have more persepctive this time around? and that’s really great. 

35. Do you read other people’s threads or do you only read your own?

i do! though i guess i’d say it TECHNICALLY depends? there are some threads i just kind of skim tbh, but for the most part i really enjoy watching interactions on the dash unfold!

2,10 and 24 from the munday fun!

2. Who was your first muse? Were they an OC or a Canon Character? Did they belong to a fandom?

Hmm, it’s actually pretty tricky thinking about what I’d constitute as a muse--I certainly felt inspired enough to write for characters for a loooong time, and I’ve always had a lot of OCs that I built stories with, but nothing I ever really RPed with anyone else with? 

Unfortunately I first came to the RP scene in a fandom and piece of media that ended up being pretty Yikes. ( attack on titan--though at the very least, it wasn’t evidently going in that direction when I was involved and invested) I started off as I usually do: getting incredibly attached to dead side characters and making rp blogs for them! 

10.What do you think of your current roleplay partners?

I LOVE THEM. I can get a pretty blue sometimes about being irrelevant or playing a character that’s just too obscure or worth getting more than just slightly invested in (it’s a common insecurity with me considering how it’s almost ALWAYS the minor characters that get me), but talking and plotting and doing threads with the people around has been such a treat, and it’s really wonderful to be able to interact and make bonds and relationship with such talented people auugh

24. Have you ever finished a roleplay? How invested were you in that thread?When is your birthday?

I have! I would say a good amount of my threads, especially on other blogs where I was following more of a coherent timeline, ended in ways that left me satisfied and happy, even if they provided set up for the next interaction (referencing past threads is so awesome to me)

As for my birthday, that’d be march 29th!
