[They can be vibing outside of the mansion then, since he needs room for his tiny pony to vibe. He's also wearing a meme sweater but it's draped over his shoulders, currently...]
Ugh, tell me about it! At least they're warm, but seriously? We couldn't get anything cuter?
BUT!! THE LAB IT IS... Kashuu's approaching this place with more caution and skepticism than literally any other, including the wholeass carnival full of clowns. Wow. He's definitely keeping his hands to himself and he sticks near the periphery of the building, like he's worried about things BLOWING UP or aliens APPEARING OUTTA NOWHERE.
He's also warily eying the new beakers??]
...That guy's gonna get in here and drink some of these, for sure.
[He means Garou but honestly this could apply to so many in their midst.]
[WELL THAT WAS A THING. Kashuu doesn't exactly seem Happy but he also doesn't seem too overtly-concerned whenever he spots Roxana and waves in greeting. Trottin' on over!]
Sooo... Messy parties are in, I guess? Can't really say I'm a fan.
[ It certainly was a thing. She doesn't wave back, but she does smile in greeting. ]
Even simply planned parties seem to be tampered with. I'm far from fond, too. There's no saying what the next party we'll be forced to attend will be like.
[THEY REALLY ARE GOING TO ROB HALF THIS DAMN CLOSET Kashuu's already dragged all of his idol outfits back into his closet and he keeps going back for more things...
When the question is posed, he turns to look automatically, and claps his hands together in delight just about as quickly...]
Woah! Normally I always go for plant themes, but those butterfly ones are totally gorgeous! So unique, too! You should definitely go with those.
[First because it's hilarious and they're all in the same area, Roxana may have heard the muffled sound of Kashuu yelling about pigs from the boy's room when they first woke up.
But!! They've probably had some time to poke around and settle a little, and with word of Ryunosuke coming back and no searches turning up anything, he'll eventually head back to Metallic floor and collapse on one of the sofas. His expression is a little hard to read, but it's easy to tell through body language that he is Not Pleased even if he's not surprised. Whenever Roxana happens to be back in the space, he'll look her way.]
Lemme guess - you didn't find anything out there either, yeah? Anything that's amiss.
[What a mood!! Kashuu's just sort of bonelessly vibing on one of their couches for the time being, but he pops his head up when he hears Roxana return. This looks like a good distraction!!]
[IT'S DOJO TIME. Kashuu's here, dressed very reasonably for a change, and actually doesn't seem to be shirking his self-appointed duty as instructor despite how much he usually whines and gripes and complains about anything that makes him Uncute™. Sometimes, the sword really comes through...
Whenever Roxana comes by to check the place out, though, he'll pause in whatever he'd been doing to raise a hand! And then trot her way, reaching out for her hand on compulsive second nature.]
Hiya! Are you here to check the place out? We're offering some training for self-defense too, if you're interested.
[At some point during the day, they'll inevitably end up in Metallic at the same time! At which point Kashuu's absolutely just going to be seated on one of their nice couches, looking at his phone. The screen's not on or anything - he's just kind of. Looking at it. Like maybe if he looks hard enough or waits long enough, the morning will redo.
His expression is pretty neutral, but there's still a palpable air of tension, here. This sword's doin just fine.]
She sits next to him on this nice couch, unafraid of the tension. She's here, and she's with him, and that's all she wants to convey at the moment, but she won't touch him yet in case he wants to snap.
[Me like damn, will kashuu sing a song this game now??? Everybody's boyfriend Buzen is DEAD and also his sword poofed after trial so that's fun. Kashuu's kind of vanished for a while, but eventually he'll reemerge, making his way back to his apartment with a sort of leaden-footed exhaustion.
He just kinda flops over onto the ground. Let it consume him.]
[ did he get his fucking leg looked at and healed :/
That's such a mood, though. She has too much dignity to lie on the ground next to him, but she'll sit down with her skirts splayed out prettily next to him. ]
[ They are both in the med bay for obvious reasons. Roxana would have healed and showered and changed clothes to not be a bloody mess. Her new dress hides most of the signs of her wounds, and the blanket on the bed she's in covers anything the dress doesn't hide.
We're doing great, fam. It's been enough time that she is less standoffish.
[Kashuu's still in his outfit, but it was never ruined to begin with. Very funny! It's dry by now, but still probably smells like rain as he moves to sit next to Roxana. He doesn't seem outwardly injured, as before, though his eyes are still a little puffy like he's been doing some crying.]
...Guess it was kinda stupid to figure we'd get to check back in after that.
[He's just havin' a sit with one leg stretched out in front of him, since it's splinted, and his wielding arm in a sling. Life's hard when you only pod for an hour because you're more worried about other people. His sword's still at his side, and his expression isn't as open as it had been yesterday, but it's easy to tell he's just - exhausted.]
...Yeah. She wanted to do her best to-- I dunno. Keep up with the rest of us, I think. [...] She felt bad for always being so scared.
[SHE CAN'T RUN FOREVER SHE'LL HAVE TO COME BACK TO METALLIC EVENTUALLY (or will she--)
In either case, they might bump into each other in medbay before then, considering all the healing they collectively need to do. Pick ur poison... He'll definitely be actively looking for her, whether he actually runs into her in either of these locations or not, so if he doesn't find her, he'll text!]
[The vibe from Kashuu is definitely very cozy and comfortable! That probably answers her question before he does, though hilariously, he shakes his head.]
Mm... I think places like the dojo or citadel feel more at home to me, now. But there's something really familiar about this, y'know?
[the void... Perhaps back at the apartment after all is said and done. Kashuu's vibes are tired and frustrated, with even more frustration at that.]
Yeah... I wish we'd been able to narrow down that other group, even if the clothes weren't a close match for anyone. I've been trying to find something to use that stupid luminol on for weeks, though.
[WELL AFTER ALL OF THAT... the vibes are Tired. They're pretty heavy with a somber, sorrowful emotion. But there's a little spark of hope in there, too.]
[WELCOME TO THE BLANKET AND PILLOW THUNDERDOME. Kashuu has already claimed this domain in the name of swordhell, and he's sitting in a cocoon of blankets, surrounded by a little stack of pillows whenever Roxana comes to poke her head in and check the space out. His head pops out like a meerkat...]
[I LIED. There is one single person outside of Yasusada that he's seeing tonight and it's Roxana. He's going to make his way to her little dungeon void archway... (dub Childe voice) What's poppin girlie. What's this archway look like, where's Roxana vibing.]
Edited (fixes fastly before u can get me) 2022-03-27 01:37 (UTC)
[Everyone came together to give their deadzos as much as they could... we l*ve the graveyard in this game.
Kashuu knows the importance of being cute no matter what the circumstances are though, so:]
Oh, totally! I don't think we've messed up the closet just yet, so even though the colors're a little off and all, at least you don't have to worry about 'em... I dunno, turning into noodles randomly or whatever the hell else could go wrong.
[IMAGINE SOMEONE LOCKPICKING THEIR WAY INTO ROXANA'S HOUSE HELP.
But he's here! Just to restock on some stuff, since he's going to be spending the night patrolling and just generally being on his guard and doing sword things. He hasn't experienced refraction before, himself, but he can figure out where this is going and what it means, and he knows they're pressed for time.]
Yeah, I'm ready for it. Guess it's not surprising things turned out this way...
[HELP IM IN TEARS HE WANTS BOBA!!! They're in the glitteringest of voids... Kashuu also has a bottle of sake but he's going to have to go harass Chinatsu for boba instead, damn.]
I'm most ready for a nap right now, if I'm gonna be toootally honest... But! So long as it's not bad news, I'm ready for it. I mean, even if it is bad news, I'm ready for it, hah.
[He will simply cease to exist if something bad happens so it's fine.]
