Not Again! With Akira

[shortforever]

Comments

week zero, sunday

[survivaltricks]

[hi, Chuuya. are you stepping out of your cabin? or into said cabin? either way, either before he enters the premises or after he exits, someone grabs him by the wrist and just]

[yanks him behind the building]

[HI IT'S AKIRA]

[shortforever]

[He sure is yanked! And he's surprised for a moment before he sees it's Akira. ]

Don't tell me trouble is starting already.

Week 0, Thursday

[shortforever]

[Time to go track down Akira! By the way he's got his green jacket on over his camp outfit. ]

[survivaltricks]

[he is dressed in his P5D outfit! which is now sporting some very light ketchup and mustard stains. he tried to scrub them out, I promise]

[. . . anyway, he is also lingering outside the chipmunk cabin, sitting on the porch with his hands in his pockets and his shoulders squared. he seems to be deep in thought! and every so often his gaze flickers up, like he's looking for something]

[when he sees Chuuya, his body relaxes]

Chuuya! Over here!

Week 0, thursday, like an hour after the last one

[shortforever]

[He is fucking gunning for Akira now. WHERE ARE YOU SHITLORD, IT'S TIME TO HOLD HANDS]

[survivaltricks]

[why are we holding hands what happened what did he do ANYWAY HE'S IN THE KITCHEN GRABBING SOME COFFEE]

[COME FIND HIM]

Week 0, Friday

[shortforever]

[Chuuya disappeared pretty much as soon as announcements were done, and he can be found pounding his fist against the door to the director's cabin. ]

C'mon you cowards, open up! You've got some explaining to do here!

[survivaltricks]

[lol guess who is ALSO here to pound on the director's cabin. but when he sees Chuuya, he stops]

Hey! Chuuya!

Week 0, Sunday

[shortforever]

[Originally they were going to have a very different conversation, but after seeing that execution he's not in the mood for it. So instead, he goes looking for Akira to tug on his sleeve and get his attention. ]

This is all such bullshit.

[And he's upset about it and needs reassurance. ]

[survivaltricks]

[since it's foggy and rainy outside, Akira can be found in the kitchen, brewing up some coffee. like he usually does!!]

[. . . and he doesn't even look up when Chuuya speaks, his own voice pulled tight]

It's such fucking bullshit.

Week 1, Tuesday, post-meeting

[shortforever]

[Wherever Akira is, he's getting a visitor suddenly.

Said visitor is carrying a plate with a few pancakes on it. Said pancakes are in a sad state of things. One is rather crispy, one is white and barely cooked, they're all lopsided and different thicknesses, and so on. A bunch of butter and syrup has been spread over them too, as if to hide any potential flavor defects. And he's also carrying a fork and butter knife too.

Chuuya is frowning too, but not because he's mad. This is definitely one of his "I'm pretty sure my attempts at reaching out are about to be laughed at, so I'm bracing myself for that" looks.]

It's not that great, but here. Eat.

[survivaltricks]

[LET'S SAY MESS HALL because I have too many PCs in the kitchen]

[Akira blinks at the pancakes when Chuuya places them in front of him, taking one note of their. . . less than ideal conditions?]

[and then, to Chuuya, in a slightly incredulous voice]

Did you make these for me?

[he isn't laughing!!]

Week 1, Friday

[shortforever]

[When Chuuya finally gets around to looking for Akira, he can be heard humming a song. The humming stops and starts here and there though, as he seems to grow more frustrated when he realizes he's humming again.

Finally, he snaps.]

Oi! Akira! Help me out here!

1/2

[survivaltricks]

[Chuuya will find Akira. . . !]








[moonwalking towards his cabin]

[???]

Week 1, post-trial

[shortforever]

[Time to! Get mad! Chuuya can be found at the lake, throwing rocks at it. Maybe he's trying to skip rocks? Who knows. But he's mad right now.

Talk to him?]

[survivaltricks]

[Akira!! can't even bring himself to get mad!! he exhausted all of his frustrated anger at everyone else when they wouldn't shut up about his power, so right now he's just. . .]

[he's just tired]

[he drifts his way towards the lake, hands resting in his pockets as he slides up next to Chuuya. he isn't saying anything]

week one, sunday

[survivaltricks]

[iiiiiit's Sunday!! and Akira is searching for Chuuya. . . wherever he might be. come out come out wherever you are, tiny buddy]

[shortforever]

[Chuuya is actually at the nurse's cabin! He has a red mark on his face and is wrapping up his wrist right now. It's going about as well as you would expect for someone trying to wrap their wrist one-handed.]

Week 2, Friday, once Akira has medical treatment

[shortforever]

[It's probably going to be in the infirmary, but Chuuya is coming looking for Akira, wherever he may be. Now that they're free, there's time to finally process everything that happened. And because he's had time to think, he's in a somber mood now.]

Hey. How's it feel?

[survivaltricks]

[they have a lot to talk about, don't they? it's easy enough to find Akira in the infirmary, nursing his newly dressed eye wound as he picks at some flakes of dried blood on his shirt. he clearly has not changed yet]

[his gaze is distant when Chuuya enters, but it snaps up instantly when Chuuya speaks, almost defensive. he has to take a deep breath to calm himself down]

Hey. . . it hurts, but I have some painkillers. [a lopsided smile] And yours?

Week 2, post-execution

[shortforever]

[Time to! Track down Akira!

He's carrying a notebook with him, by the way. And the not-magical pen he has.]

Hey. I know an execution just happened and all, but I need to talk to you about something.

[survivaltricks]

[it was impossible to find Akira on Saturday, but he is back in public on Sunday! what's up, roommate]

Huh?

[he's in the infirmary with new bandages wrapped around his eye, because you definitely gotta change those every so often, to keep them from getting gross]

What's up?

week three, monday

[survivaltricks]

[everyone is paying homage to the clothing store! for good reason. those camp digs suck]

[so here is Akira, coming up to Chuuya in the store and bumping shoulders with him. sorry not sorry to interrupt your browsing, friend]

Heads up that we're all sharing memories this week.

Juuuuust in case you haven't realized it yet.

[shortforever]

Yeah, I'm well aware.

[He's grumbling as he sorts through the clothes racks, trying to find the least offensive clothing options in his size.]

I already had like four people see personal shit of mine.

Week 3, post-execution

[shortforever]

[It's a good thing this is a week where the deaths don't hit Chuuya too hard, because. Well.

He is absolutely setting up his prize on a chair, and then covering it with a blanket. Akira is bound to show up eventually so he needs to be Ready for him.]

[survivaltricks]

[CHUUYA WHY]

[oblivious to his imminent embarrassment, Akira shows up on schedule, twirling a tomagotchi??? around his finger??]

So I have good news and less good but still not terrible news. Which one do you want first?

Week 4, Monday

[shortforever]

[Chuuya is going to be really salty and mad all day, so when Akira awakes from his slumber he'll be able to find Chuuya stamping about and kicking pinecones in the forest near the cabins.]

[survivaltricks]

[. . . well, this is not as expected. having missed the fight entirely-- and still not being in the loop about what happened-- he kind of gives Chuuya a curious look]

So what did the pinecones ever do to you?

Week 4, post-trial

[shortforever]

[Time to RUN AFTER AKIRA except it's more of a shamble because of his leg. It's lucky he was headed in the same direction as Akira, or else he would have missed him.]

Akira, wait!

[survivaltricks]

[Akira sure is bolting his way quickly to the director's offices cabin! but he slows down when Chuuya finds him, brows raising]

-- Chuuya? Hey, you should be resting. . .!

week four, sunday

[survivaltricks]

[HELLO CHUUYA guess who is making his way to the library today! with a blown up pink balloon that he is batting through the air]

[shortforever]

[That is so loud and rude, omg.

Chuuya had made himself at home in the little poetry section of the library, and peers at Akira over the top of his book.]

What are you even doing?

Week 5, Monday

[shortforever]

[YEAH, SO. UH.

He'll check Akira's cabin first, because he's pretty sure Akira can't even walk right now. Time to find his friendo!]

[survivaltricks]

[OKAY SO MUCH HAPPENED THIS MORNING SO]

[I'm going to say this is after Akira got his crutches from [insert NPC here] and has managed to bandage up the. . . leg stump. . . with his bed sheets and a few spare towels. they're all stained a pretty deep red, but hey! it works]

[he is also resting on his top bunk, I promise. the door to chipmunks is propped open so Chuuya can enter without problem]

[all of Akira's smaller gashes-- the ones on his cheeks and upper arms, also from the mirror maze-- have also been bandaged]

week five, tuesday

[survivaltricks]

[Akira really should be resting, but he is on a mission today!! hobbling all over camp with his crutches looking for a certain redhead, whom he finds hanging out near the theater]

[Akira's gaze flickers towards one of the signs, lips twitching, before he turns back to Chuuya]

[takes a deep breath]

[and says--]

Rainbow raindrops.







[huh??]

[shortforever]

[He looks up, confused.]

Is that some kinda candy or something?

[Akira???]

Week 5, Friday

[shortforever]

[Well. Chuuya is in a mood today. Dimitri wasn't that bad of a person, and he's a little sad to see him go.

Time to track down Akira and talk Feelings.]

[survivaltricks]

[Akira is always here for feelings!! and he can be found in the chipmunk cabin resting, though he isn't asleep. he is kind of staring at the ceiling, his arms folded behind his bed, expression pensive]

[he does sit up when Chuuya enters, though]

week six, monday

[survivaltricks]

[well. it's all out in the open now, which is. . . a relief, in a way. but the fights that ensued afterwards-- while expected-- were not a relief at all]

[and when everything calms down, Akira goes on a Chuuya hunt. where are you Chuuya!!]

[shortforever]

[He is out by the lake, throwing rocks again. But he's throwing them into the woods at least?

When he sees Akira though, he actually looks...angry?]

Don't say a fucking thing.

post birthday party

[shortforever]

[WELP. It's a good hour or two after the snake child leaves, but Chuuya will go looking for Akira. Where can he be found?]
