dream post from day 5, just for deli

[fallingleaf]

[ the scenery around you seems to shift in and out, between the scenes of the casino, and the dark purples and pinks of Inazuma city. automated sounds warble with the sounds of people intermingled, and an odd sound of crackling in the air.

Someone decided to challenge the Raiden Shogun... A voice whispers.

That poor fool.

Almost like a ghost, a man in one of the wide brimmed hats, traditionally associated with samurai, passes you.

Like a ghost on the wind-- it doesn't look like he's running, but he is. the winds boosting every step he takes as he makes his way towards the statue of the unnamed god. ]

[ This is not a spectacle he expected or even wanted to see. He knows what went on in Inazuma, knows exactly how the people have suffered under this rule, and seeing an idiot challenge the shogun is not something he wants to see or cares about.

But then he notices that samurai, and his eyes are locked on him. It's not just because he feels the wind, it's because he recognizes him ]

... What's going on?

[fallingleaf]

[ Haven't you heard? a townsperson answers back. He doesn't want to comply with the vision hunt decree. The person's tone is pitying. Who could think to fight against the Electro archon in her almighty wisdom? If she says that visions are a threat to Inazuma's eternity, it must be so.

If he takes a step to follow the Samurai, who is too focused on something to hear anything else, the scene shifts just so, as though he were at the steps of the path to the unnamed god's statue. On the platform are two figures, one he recognizes very well, and the other, a mystery. The samurai that he'd followed stops.

The lightning strikes behind them as the Raiden Shogun brings down the strike of the musou no hitotachi-- killing the man instantly. And the samurai calls out something-- his name, in anguish. His now blank vision flies up. ]

[abovefate]

[ He has heart about Kazuha being able to stop the musou no hitotachi, so this is obviously not when it happened. But there's no doubt this has to be a glimpse of his past, and with his reaction to the death in front of him it's easy to understand this can't be a stranger to him. ]

... how odd. All this and you're not even trying to get revenge.

[fallingleaf]

[ he grabs the vision, and just as suddenly, becomes aware of the interloper in his dream, when he glances at Wanderer,

the scenery shifts again, there's pandemonium, but it's happening around them, rather than forcing them to take part, ]

What are you doing here...?

[ as he clutches the blank vision in his hands ]

[abovefate]

Who knows. Maybe you just wanted me to see.

This is your past, isn't it.

[fallingleaf]

Yes.

[ he nods, ]

It was the moment that I knew I had to leave Inazuma for good.

day 8, late

[aididitmyway]

Ruby: kazuha told me that was his idea of revenge btw
Ruby: he said he was glad it was working

Re: day 8, late

[abovefate]

Hat Guy: Don't you two have better things to do than talk about me?

Re: day 8, late

[aididitmyway]

Ruby: it came up when we were talking about revenge in general
Ruby: he also said i shouldn't take your advice

Re: day 8, late

[abovefate]

Hat Guy: He's probably right
Hat Guy: But revenge is never about what's the best thing to do
Hat Guy: It's about making people feel as bad as you do

Re: day 8, late

[aididitmyway]

Ruby: so that's my next question
Ruby: he's more confused than anything else
Ruby: and he doesn't remember the same events you and the traveler both say
Ruby: so isn't revenge in the way you're thinking of it hard for him?
Ruby: but how do you just not get remembered even with the stories getting passed down through his family
Ruby: you're pretty memorable

Re: day 8, late

[abovefate]

Hat Guy: Because I erased my existence
Hat Guy: But that's a long story

day 10, morning/brunch, idk

[fallingleaf]

Are you free?

Re: day 10, morning/brunch, idk

[abovefate]

Matcha: It's not like there's anything to do here

[fallingleaf]

Kazuha: I didn't want to assume. Where can I find you?

[abovefate]

Matcha: Out of my room. I'll wait for you

[fallingleaf]

Kazuha: I’ll see you soon.

[ he isn't that far, really. Though, when he does arrive, even from a distance, it’s easy to see that he looks slightly confused— and concerned. ]

Good morning.

[abovefate]

[ crossing arms at his chest ]

What's with that lost puppy face? Did something happen?

day 17, evening

[fallingleaf]

[ hmm, he's going to see if he can just track matcha down, idly. starting with near his room-- ]

Re: day 17, evening

[abovefate]

[ he's coming back to his room with a stack of books ]

—Don't tell me you were just waiting for me.

[fallingleaf]

No, but the timing really is fortuitous, isn't it?

Do you want some help?

[abovefate]

I'm not so weak I can't handle carrying some books.

But keep me company while I store these.

[fallingleaf]

Mm, but I was thinking if I did help you, I could look at what interests you so much to bring back to your room.

At any rate, I wanted to spend time with you, so.

[abovefate]

[ HIS HANDS ARE BUSY HE CAN'T TIP HIS HAT DOWN. So instead he glances away and quickly reaches for his card to enter the room, but Kazuha may notice a slight blush ]

What a puppy.
