Appointments Post ( II )

[generalflirt]

This post here is for personal conversations which should happen but one or both of us doesn't want to put up a new post/log and thus we will just thread it out here. This can be used to thread with Masaomi anytime and anywhere. This can either be in person (with action), or via the journal's call feature (voice and/or written).

When replying to this post please mark in the subject line when and how it is taking place EX:
[Action, March 11th]
[Voice, September 8th]
Written, June 10th]

Return from the Battle of Vaskoth

[generalflirt]

[His Reunion with Linda may or may not get it's own subheading depending on how I think that's going to go down.

Masaomi arrives back at 4PM (see here). From there he goes back to the apartment. He'll great anyone on the way, but he doesn't even go for Linda, instead going to drink about a gallon of tap water and take a shower. Then he makes a journal entry to tell everyone he's back blanketly. He also tells them that he will be in the square, and they can meet himthere-

It's 6PM by now. The sun hasn't quite set (and damn if he's going to soak up the sun until it does) and the infected draftees aren't home yet. He sits on a bunch though... just looking up at the sky]

Return from the Battle of Vaskoth

[savedtheworld]

[Aang decides to take a break from trick-or-treat protocol to go check on Masaomi - deciding to go separately from Ikki because of the potential subject matter. He air scoots his way over, in full Aladdin get-up, to make sure he's okay and try to check up on things. Hearing about Steve the other morning was bad enough. He calls out as he approaches]

Masaomi!

[generalflirt]

Hey, hey, my young Avatar.

[He rips his eyes from the sky and waves a little at Aang as he scoots over]

[savedtheworld]

Hey! Are you alright?

[He's relieved enough to see Masaomi's okay that, as he hops down from the scooter, he'll provide a quick hug (first hug?!)]

[generalflirt]

[...Wow he did not see that hug coming. He doesn't reciprocate (seriously dude, we're men) but he smiles a bit before flicking him on the ear]

I survived, anyway.

[savedtheworld]

[He wasn't sure if he was breaking the bro code that Shikamaru had taught him - but this felt like a special occasion. He winces slightly at the ear-flick but with a light-hearted smile.]

I'm glad. After everything else, it's... good news.

[generalflirt]

Yeup. And they even found a cure for that disease. All the infected people who didn't have their organs melt'll be through in a few hours, I bet.

[But... he still sounds somber. Finding a cure was great. Amazing. But... did it make it worth it?]

[savedtheworld]

[But he focuses on the news.]

A cure? That's great Masaomi! [Well the organ melting part is gross. So he tries to gloss over that.] Do you know who's been getting the cure? Have you seen Robin? [And part of him feels doubt. Was it truly wrong... could they have just held Moro off for longer, and she could have been cured?]

[generalflirt]

Who the heck's Robin?

[Gosh guy, he doesn'--- waaaait] Oh, the mask guy?

[endgames]

[Shikamaru will be at the apartment, at some point. He avoided the welcome wagon and found a quiet place to watch the sun, ignoring everything else until the wetness in the air made his arm (which is in a makeshift sling) hurt more. He tracked his way back then - probably missed Masaomi if he was still at the square.

There he grabbed his journal and sat himself down on the couch, where he hasn't moved from since. Other than to kick off one sandal/shoe, he hasn't changed either. He's trying to pick up a pen with his toes. :T]

[generalflirt]

[As soon as he walked back in, after nightfall-]

You stink, go shower.

[endgames]

Moving...

[He doesn't want to do it. He does manage to pick up the pen, but lets it drop.]

You could take another. [Because he's obviously been and gone.] We'll call it even.

[generalflirt]

Man, Linda's mad at me [Notice how he's still got his anti-electric earring in] if she gets a good wiff of you now, she'll kill you.

[endgames]

[He half-shrugs, seemingly not bothered enough to care. Tomorrow he'll be bitter, but for now he's too comfortably numb and enamored by the first chance to truly be still he's had in a week.]

Where's she at?

[generalflirt]

Sulking. [Well, "sulking" - he doesn't specify where. Even he isn't 100% sure. He half expects- hopes - to find her in his room, but she could have gone back to the Pokemon house again. Either way, he breaks the distance to sit on one of he bean bag chairs]

[endgames]

[He raises an eyebrow. Having not seen Masaomi for most of the draft, he's not exactly clued in on what went down.]

[generalflirt]

...When the power limit went down, he shoved her into Raven-chan's arms to force her to go home. [He swallows, and hangs his head a bit]

She was crying.

[markofthebrave]

[Tired of the fog, Katara has actually decided to bend it out of the way as she sits and waits for Masaomi to come back in the square. She's standing there with her arms wrapped around herself, occasionally waving a hand from its spot resting on her arm and clearing a little circle of fog-free air.

She'll be needed back at the Med Lab soon, but this is important too.]

[generalflirt]

[He's showered, in his civvies and... smells less bad. He hasn't done everything like put on his best clothes or do up his hair, but he does have both of his normal piercings and his extra hoop ring in the left ear still. And, of course, her bracelet.

But he's just coming into the square, looking tired but relatively at peace to be in the sunlight]

[markofthebrave]

[Too bad he's approaching from behind her, huh?

That is, unless he likes the view of Katara standing in a clear patch of air, surrounded by fog that won't touch her.]

[generalflirt]

[Oh he does. In fact, he announces himself in the way of a little laugh and-]

Well look at that, a beautiful woman parting the "sea." That's simply romantic.

[markofthebrave]

[Oh that's--

She turns and instantly moves to hug him.]

Welcome back.

[generalflirt]

[And he hugs he back, laughing a bit. She'll squirm out if she wants out and he'll accept the cue]

I'm back.

[markofthebrave]

[Nope. Staying right here, actually. Needing the physical reassurance that you're okay. Possibly shaking a very little bit, too.]

I was scared.

[For you. For all of you.]

[generalflirt]

[Oh, well then. When he doesn't pull back he is - once again - mildly surprised. But instead of falling apart on her like last time, he instead squeezes her a little tighter and starts to run his hand on her back in what he hopes is a comforting gesture. He can't help it. He's glad to see her too

He whispers the next part-]

Honestly, so was I.

[Perhaps it's his tired brain forcing that out. Words of assurance seem like they wouldn't do the horror of what he'd fought the last week justice]
