[ Video // Action ]

[ So Masaomi got back from his two missions... just in time to get that announcement from the Red Guy. And you know what, after that announcement, a conversation with Red he had earlier in the month, the fact it is the end of the month, and how mad Linda got at a certain animal on one of the missions they were just on-- it seems like it's time. His efforts with Cilan and the others have reached a fair enough point that it seems like they can do it and- ]

Ladies...! And gentlemen. [ Linda, on his head, chimes in that she would like to make it clear that your lady preference is not necessarily reflected in her and this is her limelight, thank you. To which he laughs.

Either way, the video opens up to see Masaomi and Linda sitting against a large rock at the North end of town approaching the forest's edge, but near the river. They have propped the journal up against something so that it can record them - and given the angle, they've clearly tested the positioning. Masaomi's in just a light jacket over a tank-top (so his wings are a tad exposed) with with real pants because it's too cold to afford to be out in just that even if he had just been working out one last course with Linda in her current form. He's holding ... a Thunderstone. Linda's looking a bit excited too ] Today, we've reached an important point in the life of my partner here, and we're going to show off just what she can do! Namely, [ and he tosses the stone in the air, catches it, and then motions for Linda to get off his head. Which she does, to get up on top of the rock ] it's time for her evolution.

Recorded here, for your own visual spectacle! [ Linda, ever one to have an ego, preens a bit at this, puffing out her chest and her cheeks a bit too ] After all, her momentous evolution to this stage was recorded... quite a while ago now, from a charming moment between the two of us! [ HEY. ] And it was public! A glorious one which could bring a tear to a man's eye... [ SHUT UP ALREADY. ] Buuuut. This one's on a bit of a day everyone needs to do their own packing, so consider this your entertainment while you do.

[ She's more than entertainment you know... But then he turns to her, smiles, and winks. She huffs a little, and averts her gaze. But then she looks back and nods. He steps closer to her, and makes to dance the stone above her, before pressing it onto her head ]

I, Masaomi Kida, by the duties of the trainer hereby knight you, the beautiful and powerful Lady Linda... [ Wow, wow shuuuut uuuup you were cool for a bit there, but this... ] to the next stage of life! So we can go on and have adventures. [ Why are you being this corny in front of everyone noooo-- in fact. She can't handle it anymore- she starts to glow white as the evolutionary process begins, but then the video is caught off in the form of her leaping past Masaomi and tackling the journal shut just as the process begins to take hold. Because she is not going to be embarrassed further. He makes a little bit of a protest when she does, but...

Feel free to respond to this cut off ceremony! Or to go up to that upper end of town and see them! Or assume he told your character (if they're friends) this was going down in the morning before going up to do it so maybe they were an audience Either way, have at ]

[ Voice ]

[ This video is broadcast from Masaomi's apartment, and happens first thing in the morning (by his standards), probably about 8 or so AM. It's off-camera for the most part, but the only thing on camera is the space above his head. He's currently juggling his Thunderstone though, and as a result the camera might take a snap photo of it now and again. It'll get hime if he shifts his position (and let's face it, he will) and might get Linda or Shikamaru's cat if they come into frame too. So have fun with that if you wanted. But more importantly. ]

Anyone remember that Speed Dating thing that that on LGBT club hosted a while back? I guess it came to mind because that other Brigade woman used to make a thing out of Tanabata and that was a week back or so, but I know I liked it and based on the timing of a few other things, I'm pretty sure it spawned a success story or two. Maybe people need to have that leveled for them again.

Anyone actually in love right now but can't bring themselves to confess? Promise I won't tell! Even if you don't, though- This has been you regular Masaomi Kida, and I'm sure I'll be seeing you.

[ Wink. ]

[ Action ]

[ True to his word though, chances are you will see Masaomi around town. After a period of trying to get ahold of and then trying to re-articulate his request to MARS (maybe they're going through some stuff right now like all the rest of the Malnosso seem to be, maybe he was just too specific) Masaomi has gotten hold of the "thank you for playing" with me return gifts he thought of at the tail end of June. Sure, it's been almost a whole month now since his birthday, but the idea was novel to him and even if he paid a ton of points for it (to Shikamaru's disapproval) he decided the idea seemed worth it. He's not totally sure if it still is or not, but everyone who participated in the King's Game at his birthday party is going to be accosted to to gifted one of these hoodies (one size theoretically fits all so it might be big or small on some people) from a large bag he's carrying around.

Once he goes to all the people he knows the houses of, he'll still probably have a few left, but after that he'll be settling in to either the Battle Dome (for his workout/looking for some potential spars maybe), the Convenience Store (for his job), or one of the bridges to look into the water and talk to Sona and Tsinku. At said bridges you might also see him running static through the air around him or attempting some approximation of waterbending. At any of those locations he'll be looking for the leftovers of the hoodie-getters too (~~do not feel obligated to reply though, some of them can be assumed and some people live at the same houses so he can leave them with people there or something~~)

Or you can run into him between any of those points. consider this an opened up post

EDIT: If you specify in your reply I can have Masaomi under the effect of a previous shift as per the current ongoing passive event. Like he just flickered into it for an hour. Put it in the subject title or something. ]

[Action -- BACKDATED to Day 1 -> 9 (April 8th -> April 17th)]

[ (basically because we both failed to get in on week 1 of the event in the log, oops, but bring in all your stuff go for it)

So Merlin hid the sword Excalibur which would name the prince the rightful king of Luceti. He hid it in the heart of a beautiful young maiden. Or maybe it was an old woman. Or a man. Actually, he's not even sure about the beautiful part. But the point is that someone out there somewhere has Excalibur in them and it's just waiting to be pulled out Utena and/or Guilty Crown style depending on your poison. And right now both the wizard and the prince are out to try to find it and claim his crown as the once and future king.

Masaomi, our prince, is dressed more or less like this. Shikamaru, our wizard, is dressed more or less like this. And the both of them are on a quest to find the person who has Excalibur inside of them so they can pull the sword from the ~~stone~~ person. For much of this adventure, they are together. However, as is wont to happen with this event, the two do seem to keep getting regularly teleported away from each other. Or sometimes teleported together, so the point is that you can find them absolutely anywhere from your closet to the streets to the middle of the mountains.

A truly riveting and classic fairy tale. ]

[ Okay, technicals: We do want only one person to actually be able to have the sword pulled out of them, and we leave it open to the first person who calls dibs. But beside that, you can have them pull many other things out. Such as, say, a broom. Or a poleax. Or an assault rifle. All of them will vanish after the event if they are any dangerous like that, it's meant to be a gag. Obviously, as per the fairy tale this is vaguely based on, only Masaomi can pull out the sword, but Shikamaru (

endgames) can pull out anything else. You can request to have one or the other, or you can have both in a threeway. Just label it in the subject header ]

[ Bonus: Masaomi during Week 2 ]

~♥FORTY-EIGHT♥~

[ Action ]

[ Back from the Mission he abruptly took when his fear-shift was getting in the way of basic interaction Masaomi... is over the shift, and now feels somewhat guilty for it. And what's more, he feels a greater need to be with his friends than he has in a few months. So really, he could seek them out (and he most likely will, eventually) but here on the first day... Well, here's one of three things you might come across him doing instead, to be social, on this cold December day. Oh and he's wearing this albeit with a thicker coat and gloves on outside.

A) He just sets up shop in a thick coat at one of the central bridges in town - the southmost one, where he's had a lot of emotionally charged moments over the years. He sits on the rail and intercepts people trying to walk through. For what, you might ask? Well, these people need to pay a small toll. Either they need to make up a story for him or hear out a story from him. ... Or be in a significant hurry to force him or convince him to step aside. But whatever. While he waits he eats some of the mikan from Nami's harvest

B) Working at the Convenience Store! Here, he busies himself in the form of reciting off sales pitches for various items in there or dicking around with his coworkers. Some up-sales might be for the slurpies, Nami's mikans, Cilan's lunches (if they're there) or "your food here!" in which case he'll try to sell the merits of bringing in special business to the store. Or chatting up friends as they show up.

In-between these two you might also catch him in transit, going to flirt with girls in the square during his break, going out to lunch in his break at Seventh Heaven, or popping his head into the Flower Shop, Smithy, or Welcome Center. Free for all extra options woo.

C) In the evening, it is very cold. Or maybe it's just the wind-chill. And thus the other plans he might have had (to go to the south end of town, to go the bar, etc) just seem like they would be a waste of time, so instead he goes to slum in all the levels of the Flame Building. He doesn't quite knock on doors, but he does go to hang out in all the central community kitchen rooms of the levels... which now that the new apartments have in-apartment kitchens he doesn't expect to see anyone there the way he might have before, but it's still something to consider.

And finally, he ends the night by going up on the Flame Building's very frigid roof in his thick coat for a while to look out over how the wind is making little snowdrifts you can see with the light of the streetlights. ...Christmas is coming, isn't it? Again. ... He really needs a girlfriend. And he finds himself pleased that that thought doesn't terrify him. ]

[Action: During The Event (21st-25th)]

[So Masaomi Kida, age 15, lonely, was awaiting Mikado to arrive in Tokyo so that they could hang out. ...and then he was no longer in a city. Needless to say, he was very disturbed when he woke up in an apartment he didn't recognize, and ended up spending a lot of time trying to keep to shadows and corners and not... get involved. It's somewhere around the third day of things he relaxes enough to conclude he's insane, everyone's insane, or that this mouse in the apartment with him is really scary enough that he wants calm his nerves a little by hitting on girls in the plaza. This is done while he's scared and stressed, but as when he arrived, he is doing his best to hide it.

You might also run into him during the hiding, taking a rest, snacking, whatever else you can imagine and we'll run with it... replies here from

boobielife]

[Voice/Action: After The Event (26th)]

[And after the event... Masaomi really he used to be a huge loser. And it's one of those rare moments of clarity where he appreciates how far he's come. So he decides to do a few things. The first of which is, petting Linda, to open up to a voice entry]

Hello Luceti, and for all you ladies out there who haven't met me, this is Masaomi Kida - resident fighter, lover, and I'm training in a few other disciplines. I'm also the resident host of the of course by now famous show, Kida Radio! Which... brings us to now! The 4-1-1, for all of your prople who aren't used to them, is that we just got done with a Shift - a little experiment by the Malnosso who are lording over all our heads. Seems a lot of people got to have a new look at life, and not quite in the unpleasant way much of us did during that last invasion.

Now there'll be more reports as we go on, maybe a little music. But right now we'd like to open the floor to any any all questions viewers like you might have. So come forth! Nothing's too personal, nothing's too specific, and nothing is off the table. Ladies, I am single.

[True to his word he'll do some other broadcasts too. Like commentary on the Battle Dome, some reports on older experiments, or reports on how handsome he is, or reports on "hotties gone by" where he reminisces about attractive people (mostly female, but some male) Luceti used to have but have gone home. If you want me to type out what that might have sounded like you can prompt it in the subject head, otherwise feel free to assume.

And later that day he does have one errand to attend to: going to House 11 to meet with a friend of his. After that, later in the week, you might see him at the convenience store or Battle Dome if you want to run into him post-event action]

[Action]

( exposition )

So what was he doing?

Well, him and his Pikachu are getting some exercise. It's not particularly icy today, so they do it outside, running around town and leaping up trashcans and walls to roofs, swinging off lamp posts, and in Linda's case floating some. Basically, parkour/free running as much as is possible in an almost-rural town like this. It's making him miss the urban environment even more, but it does feel nice to show off a little with the stamina and strength which now backs up the balance he's always had. Sure, the both of them mess up now and again, but more often than not (sometimes with some chakra help) they pull off some crazy leaping stunts. What's more, as the day drags on of them doing this, he and his mouse get progressively more in sync as the joy of showing off and doing crazy stuff overrides both of their degrees of shame.

So run into them doing that all over, but mostly centered around the plaza.

That night, he settles in for a meal at Seventh Heaven. He should go home or hang out at the Convenience Store, but he decides he'd rather eat out right now. So him and Linda go in to eat there. He also pulls out his journal and considers something...]

[Written]

So, is anyone planning things for White Day? [Not that he's expecting it, but. There, he's reaching out more]

~♥FORTY-THREE♥~

[Action A]
[Eighteen days. He's been missing for eighteen days - not that he's been able to keep track, honestly. The best he can figure, it's been "about two weeks." About two weeks since they lost and were kidnapped. Some good the modification of the droids did, huh? He recognizes where he's been dropped off, though. He's on the beach.

The cold, snowy, beach.

Groaning, and with a shivering pikachu in his arms, the boy starts his long march to the teleporters, and after that he'll be making a long trek back up to CH1. He's in a torn coat, pants, and shirt and generally looking bruised and tired. No matter how he and Linda get to the apartment, that's their intended destination. He's used to bleeding, and neither him nor his girl seem to be bleeding enough that they need medical attention before they need to just - mercifully, finally - get some decent sleep. He can ask Shikamaru if Katara's back to normal, to know if he should call his Doctor or not.

Either way, they'll sleep. They'll sleep several hours, before he wakes up and then decides to get his things in order.]

( String of Filters: Yellow, Law, Mia, Green, and two broken ones )

[Action B]
[After he's recovered more, maybe within the next day or two, he has a greater understanding of what's happened. He remembers them losing, and he remembers fragments of what happened to him at their base. There was a lot of electricity involved, and he tells himself that's why Linda doesn't seem to be able to zap anything effectively at the moment. She's still able to run coils around her, but... No, no.

It's been a tense while, and they're almost at Valentines. In fact, looking back in the journal, that blue guy even suggested something like a warning. So maybe he'll just hit the town. No training for him, because even if he's mostly better (he thinks) he's not sure what's happened to him exactly, or to his mouse. That's why he, with Linda on his shoulder, are sort of walking in the snow aimlessly. Both have scarves he got as various gifts on their necks and he hits a lot of haunts: The Rec Center to play some video games, the Item Shop to see if there's Valentines things, the Library just because, the Welcome Center just... because.

He's not really looking for people, but he's not really looking to avoid people. Honestly, he still feels lonely though. If he's honest with himself, the sensation is similar to - but not the same as - that time after he left the Scarves and before Mikado made it to Tokyo.

And as the day goes on, more and more strange things keep happening. He shocks himself on doors from static electricity, he shorts out the game in the middle of getting a high school (okay, no, but a man can dream), other... things. All based in electricity.]

[Masaomi's Kidnap effect is that his body is electrically charged like he's some sort of electric-based superperson-thing. The level fluctuates and is related to his recovery and skin contact. He can't really control it either. If you see him after the realization he'll be wearing various different types of gloves as he tests out what works and what doesn't. Run into him anywhere around town]

( stage setting )

[Video]
[Of course, there's really only one way to deal with frustrated misery: you plaster a broad smile on your face such that no one can see what's going on inside of you. He's long since used to doing this, and right now, he doubts anyone will call him on it anyway.

And so, with a bright grin on his face, the video begins. He's in his apartment, dressed in suit very similar to the one he got in gangland during the scavenger hunt experiment]

Hello, hello, ladies and gentlemen! Coming to you live from a studio apartment near you, this is Kida Live! The spiritual successor to the well-received Kida Radio program that some of you might have heard about! [He spreads his arms wide, laughs, and then brings his arms in closer to himself, winking at the camera of the book before crouching down and keeping up the blase smile]

Now, I'm sure many of you have wondered "okay so Luceti's unfortunate, but how can I get a date?" Or perhaps "Valentines is coming up! What if I'm forced into my first kiss?" Or even your first intimate nature moment. [And he holds up his one hand in a circle, the other with his pointer finger out, and then pushes the pointer finger into the circle.] These are all valid concerns! After all, there's a sick sense of humor at work in the "Fate" of this world, one which breaks men's spirits as if they were twigs.

[And he laughs, at his own joke. His voice might just have shifted in pitch a little, but- He twirls in place, and by the time he's done, he's back to normal. Upbeat]

So tell me, Love Hunter Masa, about these concerns! About how you want a date and your woes of love. I'll have you know I even know an excellent matchmaker called the Commodore who can help~ you~ out~!

[With a little finger wiggle at the book of each of those last three words. He ends it there. This'll be more fun than just thinking, anyway.

If you don't want to do the video, there is an action option. Despite doing this broadcast in his apartment, he'll be spending most of his days not spent doing training things in Building I (formerly Azzip, now a budding convenience store) sitting with his Pikachu and browsing his journal. See him through the door or the window or something, or when he steps out to get a meal]

( Bonus: In which he's kidnapped tomorrow )

[This whole post is forward dated lightly to the 14th/tomorrow]

[Action/Stage Setting]

[Okay so Masaomi got back to his apartment with Shikamaru in the early morn... to find that Shikamaruwas not there. He found the note, but then went to search the room of his body, and made another interesting discovery on top of the one that his friend was hospitalized. He's not really sure what to think of both of these together (particularly given that he was on a mission) but... Oh well, what's done is done and he'll see it through. So with a sigh, he packs up a little lunch and rolls up some other stuff into a bag and heads to the Dome to see him.

You can see him en route with the bag or when he's setting up things in the kitchen or anything things like that if you want. He's sort of doing this early-ish in the morning, but yeah.

After that, well, he's going to be in the Dome's clinic. Seeing Shikamaru, hanging out, and then finally getting bored with that and going to sit around the Dome proper, chatting with his Pikachu and slicing up apples for her. Maybe a bit of light training in one of the sim rooms, but for most of the day they seem to be full-ish. Aand then-]

[Voice]

E...hto. Honestly, I'd like to have another set of spars, but Linda here's more out of shape than I am from all that searching. Saaaah, not that I'll oppose any spars, I'm going to be at this Dome all week by the looks of it. But either way, who feels like a spar with me and my partner, or perhaps something more traditional like a pokemon battle? Both would give us something to do, eeeh?

[A sigh]

Also, I'm back folks. I hope the ladies didn't miss me too much while I was out? [He tries to be flirtly, but he comes out a little terse still in spite of himself.]

[Action]
[Shikamaru and Masaomi have tag-teamed to procure the items. Their quest begins later on, as they allowed for a number of days for preparation and quietly looking around/enjoying the sights before then.

At Shikamaru's suggestion, the first days of the scavenger hunt are spent in observation rather than gathering items. CJ let it drop there was a five day allotment and that they had to keep the items the entire time; waiting just seemed smart.

So they get started on the second to last day. At the Space Opera they have some Tang and trade something that is distinctly not Tang for some ray guns. For the robot, they found something even more effective than an off switch. Who knew flights of stairs would be so deadly?

From there they swipe a jetpack and head to the Shogunate. Neither one of them are manly enough to take on a samurai in pitched combat, so they resort the theft. Or rather Hidan does. While the angry samurai are off looking for him, they'll meet and greet some kappa. Masaomi uses the powers of meta to get the water from their heads.

In Gangland, they dress up some energy drinks as booze in exchange for the tommy guns. While the gangsters there are distracted by that, Linda uses the powers of attraction to get some studebaker keys.

At The Nile, having caught on to the priest's weakness to cute things, they take advantage of small children for the daggers. They face the traps for the treasure with the powers of Rube Goldberg.

The Ice Age is last. Their grand plan to defeat a smilodon?? ...feed it. The cavemen going to war, meanwhile, are happy to exchange their bone spears for the retractable spears ~~Hidan~~ Shikamaru has for them. With little time left until the scavenger hunt ends, the rest is a popcorn fest.

Threads for seeing them pull off any of these ten capers or being involved in them are first-come, first-serve (put the item in the subject head or body of the reply if you want) but if you want to just encounter them in the periods between any of them in any zone or after they complete them all, hanging out somewhere... maybe even run into them while lost in C1 if they're at their apartment, those are unlimited. As this is a joint post, all replies will be from Masaomi and Shikamaru (

~♥THIRTY-EIGHT♥~

[Action]

[So having got back from the mission on the late 23rd, Masaomi allowed himself roughly a day to detox. He didn't even really go to do his training regime. He just went around town seeing who he could talk to and generally enjoying being back in this village. Because he does, well... like it, these days. (if you want to have your character run into him on the 24th that's cool)

But sometime on the 24th or today on the 25th, he goes to visit Mikado... and Mikado's not there. He tries the journal, and he's- gone.

Gone home, that is. Again. He stares in shock for a moment, wondering what he should feel like. He's surprised by how he can't really feel anything but a general moroseness. He's not violently enraged like last time. He's not even totally sad, really. Mikado might have been his best friend at home, but he feels so incredibly distanced from that home, that life, and that destiny, going into the future, that he knows he's going back to. What he's learned and fought with Mikado about doesn't make it any better. So on the 25th, Masaomi seeks out Anri to talk with her before going to see if there's anything neat in the item shop. He then goes back to his apartment, having found something neat (feel free to run into him during this too if you want)]

[Video]

Hey, Luceti. [Maaomi is now on the roof of his building. It's early evening, and he's propped the book up to see him sitting here in a chair. he has a flare gun in his hand and he's looking at the sky] It seems I'm the last man standing from Ikebukuro now. Weird how that works, huh?

[And then he points the flare gun straight up and shoots it - a flare into the night, like Men do (feel free to have your character action-react to a flare being shot up from the roof of C1 too). He then goes to cut off the recording

He then goes to send a message to MARS, in particular to CJ to try to summon him and haggle about a price on something]

[Video/Action]

[Masaomi is wearing this... (also this bracelet) and he's upside down. Specifically, he is standing on the ceiling of the grocery store and has his journal propped up on one of the shelves to record him being on the ceiling. He's doing this to be swagilicious, and you are free to walk in on him or see the video, but he begins with a laugh and a nod]

Greetings, greeting Luceti! I know, I was thinking I'd roll with the mood of love we've had for a while now and set up some dates, but I didn't find any chocolates in the grocery. I took this as a sign that the time for steamy romance might not be just now, and I've decided to request of you something I don't usually do! [He spreads his arms wide and begins to pace... on the ceiling. He's really straining his chakra control here and anyone who knows the look for the signs will notice that despite trying to look flippant, he is concentrating quite a bit.] Namely, does anyone wish to try one of those fabled spars with me and my partner? I promise, it won't be something you regret! [And with a wink, and releases himself from the ceiling. He flips himself in the air as he falls and lands on his feet. He groans when he does because that impact was harder than he thought it would be, but he switches the journal off afterwards.

...Feel free to see him in there, of course. He'll be waiting for responses there after, sitting in a chair eating an apple with Linda the Pikachu doing the same next to him]

I think now's enough time, don't you think?

[And during the bulk of the day...! Masaomi's forgone most of his training for today other than some things on his wrists. On his left wrist (the one that until very recently was in a cast) has a weighted bracelet on, one kilo. That way, he can work it without switching himself up too much. On his right wrist is still Katara's bracelet. He's also still rocking the Bradstache. BuT more importantly!

...He's here to flirt with girls. He hasn't done it in a while, he's in just the sort of mood where he wants to do it again. So if you're in town and a pretty girl, he's liable to go and flirt with you. If you're a dude, well then you can witness him doing it. React to him, stand there to be reacted to? There's a lot of ways you can roll this]

Hey guys, let's go play some Mario Party. [Assumption being he told Shikamaru already]

[It's later than he expected to be back from his mountain sojourn, really, when he comes into the town on Wednesday night. Shikamaru, let alone Silver, probably came back before him, but he finally makes it back then, goes to his apartment for a much, much needed proper shower and goes to bed.

So it is on Thursday that Masaomi's properly back in down, Linda on his shoulder. He's skipped class for... well, a long while now, so when he gets up surprisingly early, one of the first thing he does is actually go to school, possibly with an ear to speak with the professors or anyone who missed him from that. After that, House 11 to see how all the people he knows from there are doing. Once that's done, he heads over to the Battle Dome for a few reasons. One of them is to try to see Law, one of them is to ... well he decides to test out the training in the Battle Dome, preferably with Silver or Gold or someone else who knows Pokemon to see if he can run them before going back to the plaza. In the plaza he has some intention of lurking around the Smithy and the library. But also just trying to integrate back into socializing with people, maybe break into some light flirting, if he can muster the gusto? Trying to normalize. And once that is done, well, if he didn't run into some people he's of the mind to run into after all that in order he'll be going to Mikado's apartment and then the Avatar House on the south end of town. And then, of course, back to his place at night.

tl;dr options in order:
A) School (also includes getting lunch in the break period)
B) House 11 (after school)
C) Battle Dome (either lurking in its clinic or fighting digital pokemon in the rooms or getting refreshments between bouts
D) Plaza (in particular smithy and library - will be chatting up people, might hit on girls)
E) Community Building 7 (in particular Mikado's apartment)
F) House 56
G) Community Building 1 (in particular his and Shikamaru's apartment and kitchen on that floor)

You can also run into him in transit for any of these locations, naturally. Oh, right, and he'll be wearing something akin to this, so no soulpatch or whatever he was wearing int he experiment. With a small bag and Linda's luridly yellow pokeball in his pants pocket]

[Masaomi, back from his mission steps up out of the tunnels... tired. He's quite tired, as is Linda (who is resting her pokeball which is clipped onto his vest. He has on the ninja flak vest he borrow from Shikamaru forever ago and also looks a bit beat up. Some of his sleeves are torn as are his pants. He has some cuts, some bruises, and some burns, not all of them healed but some of them healing. He also has one of his collapseable batons in his hand. Aside from this, his muscle build up is more obvious but-

But something different about the image - despite all that and the rain and the injuries, he's laughing once he looks up at the sky. Stronger. Stronger. He already feels it. Well, no time like the present, despite his tired he's going out to accomplish a few things. First is actually to go pick up something to drink from the grocery and pick something up from the item shop (feel free to run into him at either of those) and head over to Mikado's apartment. It's an important day, after all, and he did not want to blow him off for it. Besides, if he heads there now, he might make it as the guy is coming back to school and he might run into him before then.

After that, well, he'll spend his day with Mikado until that night (though anyone can run into him before then). This'll last until about 8PM, when he's going to be going to hang out just inside the battle dome for a reason which might obvious to a lot of people. (and no, he still has not changed his clothes, even if he might have cleaned up the more obvious injuries). And after whatever comes of that, he's going to go back to his apartment to meet up with his roommate and anyone he didn't run into through the rest of the day before finally popping open the journal.]

[Voice]

Masaomi Kida has returned!! I hope you all didn't miss me too dearly!! [Okay so he's tried and running on caffeine by now, but he's still grinning ear to ear] Some rain out there today, and man is it wet- [he resists saying "ladies I hope you didn't get too wet if you saw me today" but it's hard. He laughs to himself at that joke despite not saying] You can tell the sky's telling us something though, riiight? We're approaching spring, a time of love and lust and all between! So sound off!! Whooooo's got a special someone? Who's got a crush? You can trust me, I'm a Love Machine.

[Laughing at this, once more]

So ladies... and gentlemen. Don't speak up all at once.

[So Masaomi Kida has a plan today. Namely, he's out to kidnap (for her own good) Katara. There's a few times he could do this. He considers going for her before school... but he's not a morning person and neither is she. After school feels like too little time, so he's opted to pull her aside towards the end of lunch (to hopefully evade Sokka), saying that he has forgotten something (which'll later evolve into "show you something" among other excuses). Well, him and Linda (because he's taken to bringing the pichu along to school, lately) And from there... the adventure begins.

Hours of inane things ensue, not to mention a handful of not-quite arguments about how late it is getting. Feel free to run into them more or less anywhere: item shop, Azzip pizza, various floors of various community buildings,Rec Center, south side of town, north side of town, generally more or less anywhere. Chances are you won't even need to be the first to speak, because you run a good chance of running into them talking! This'll be any time between lunch break at school and oh, early evening

Choose your own adventure location/time wise. This post is obviously joint with replies from Masaomi and

[.......Wait what?

Masaomi wakes up on the 19th (post event), and starts his day as normal (well aside from waking up a bit later than normal) until he realizes WAIT, WHAT about two or three different things all at once. He promptly gives up any semblance of a normal morning, instead opens his journal and writes/draws the following entry:]

[And sometime about midday tomorrow, Masaomi is in the square It might be a bit dubious to recognize him even if you know him because his hair is dark brown now instead of the blonde people might have been used to (that was dyed okay) but he's back to being a peppy version of himself. Namely, right now, he's leaping up onto the fountain, climbing up onto it and then shouting for the plaza to hear-]

Heeellllooo~ Luceti~!! Boys and girls, particularly the ladies- aaah! Yes, particularly those, but guys too, who wants to go to the hot spring?! It's cool and it's stressful now and I'm sure some of you want to go, right? [He puts a hand on his ear as if expecting some cheers and shouts, even if none come he snaps his fingers and somewhat less loud, assuming he has some people's attention by now] Of course!

I promise not to peek, I'm just not that kind of guy! But we should make a party of it, right?! Right?! Ah... actually...

[He drops now, to the edge of the fountain and then skillfully leaping onto the ground itself, adopting a thoughtful pose. A very thoughtful one, stroking his chin] I do say ladies, and I mean that! Buuuu~t before I break any more hearts, I guess this is the time to mention that I, Masaomi Kida [And he puts a hand on his heart, and puts on a woeful expression] have a secret crush!! Try not to die of shock, I promise to still be sweet to you!!

[And then he bursts out laughing. Yes, he's forcing himself, but he's so back.]

Everyone. Ah, I - I... [...No, he can't do it. He can't be calm]

Son of bitch! No! [And then he throws the cell phone clean across the room. It hits the wall with a loud sound - it's not broke, not quite, but the battery pops out of the back and the screen cracks. But who cares. Now, now? His voice is pained beyond anything people have heard in Luceti since about when Mikado was sent home, but this pain is different - Mikado's was cold fury, this one is erratic fury and sorrow and... well yeah]

Why now?! [Voice break] Why- dammit, [He grits his teeth] Dammit!

[If you want assume this takes place tomorrow and I'm putting it up earlier, date doesn't matter a ton.

So okay the first day went... better than expected, but he still flaked out. and that was a while ago. No doubt Saki was settling just fine on her own too - getting to know people, that sort of thing - and he had shown her to the welcome center, but... well. Lingering sense of guilt and a desire to see more of her in spite of how scared he wish pushed her to invite her on this little journey.

Namely, Masaomi Kida is walking - sometimes uncomfortably - side by side with his (ex-)girlfriend around Luceti. Showing her what's what, hesitantly introducing her to his friends, showing her the teleporter and the beach, the Rec Center, the Sakura Hill, everything ever over the course of the day and then leading her back to his apartment at the end of it to... well, he might make an offer, he might not. He's still not totally sure.

Either way, please do run into the "happy" "couple" as you see fit. chances are, one or the other will say hi if you don't. Joint with

wantedly, replies will come from both obviously]

[Okay, so after flouncing the house yesterday and taking up residence in a random apartment in the middle of the night, taking only his journal and the clothes on his back, Masaomi is now left with a few things to do today on the 8th, now that he rested all of the seventh. He is of course ditching school if there is any, but he will be heading to three different places:

1) The Smithy, to see if he can't find or request the construction of a collapsible baton, like the ones he used in the draft
2) The clothing shop, because he left all his hoodies/other outfits at home. In fact, he's still wearing the ninja vest he wore in the draft today, albeit mercifully with a washed pair of pants and a washed T-shirt.
3) looking for people

He is specifically looking for his closest non-Mikado friends, those who need to be protected, or those he respects/figures can do something (

slatebreaker,

seiriald,

markofthebrave,

boomchuka,

wise_maiden,

liketofu,

heavenslament,

poppetry,

falenandawn,

mischiefbreeder,

its_troublesome,

acowardlyoak, and

deathsdoctor) though will not object if other people run into him. He is however, in the darkest of all moods right now, and still is a little weak, despite a day or rest. He'll be all over town looking for these people (mostly because he isn't entirely sure where all of them live) and such.

-FOR THE RECORD IF YOU ARE ON THAT LIST AND DON'T HAVE TIME/ENERGY FOR A THREAD, FEEL FREE TO ASSUME HE GAVE THEM A HEADS-UP. EDIT: Also heads up if they can't be found for some reason or another. Just give me a ring somehow to know you saw. Also, like I said, anyone is free to tag whenever. Have at.

EDIT2: for context of why he booked it from the house see this thread (heavy spoilers for later DRRR novels)]

[This morning Mikado is gone.

More pressingly, his computer and most of the things in his room are gone too. Masaomi stares at it for a long while through the hole in the wall (covered by a sheet) dividing their two rooms when he went to check on Mikado today. As it stands... well. Well. There's a few possible conclusions, and they all fly into his head: kidnapped, kidnapped by someone else? Seduced-? all of them leave a foul taste in his mouth. Thus, eventually, he flips open the journal. His tone is flat, with an unhidden hint of threat in it-]

Have any of you seen Mikado Ryuugamine?

[... But he's too antsy to focus on just that. Instead, he's going to hit up all the likely hang outs- he's going to hit up all of the friends of Mikado's he knows the house/apart numbers of. Archie Kennedy, Anne, Shuri, Selphie. For good measure, he then will go to people he wonders might be useful - the clinic to see if he can't find Law-san or someone else there and then around to look for Shikamaru, even though he doesn't know where he lives. By the end of the day, he's just going to be looking in the windows of all the houses he can, and then going to the apartment doors of everyone he can and knocking on their door... progressively feeling more and more like hitting someone or something.

SO UH. Run unto him wherever ! He's feeling insane]

[The second day of the dreaming - Masaomi isn't quite what to sure what to make of it. Yesterday he had dismissed it - it wasn't important in comparison to the festival just being over with him having new gifts and favors and things to do with his bros - his orphaned compatriots. But the dream tonight shook him. Last night was a happy date with a girl - he thought it was just something his imagination has cooked up, but the one he awoke from this morning was- He has no idea where that room is, but he resolves he needs to find it.

It looks a little like a clinic room, right? So with a dour and thoughtful expression on his face, Masaomi decides to ditch school today in favor of scouring every single room in the clinic for the first half of the day, trying to find some room - looking from more than one angle - which looks like the one he saw.

By the afternoon, he's no longer even sure why finding that room is important, and he finds that he just... wants to know who that was. She didn't even recognize her, but in both dreams his sentiment was strong - as strong as his bond with Mikado, maybe? But different, more like what he had with Kata-- no. No, he can't dwell on that. So in the afternoon, still ditching school, but going into the early evening, you might find this boy taking up space in the Baratie (the AU version of Seventh Heaven) and not really ordering anything.

Until he gets kicked out that is, and then he'll make his way home after buying a carton of milk to try to appease his caretaker - a useless little habit he picked up whenever he stays out past curfew.

FEEL FREE TO RUN INTO HIM AT ANY POINT DURING THIS DAY??]

[As a precursor, after breaking his ankle very badly on the last day of fighting, Masaomi got himself healed up by Raine, and now has been spending much time at Gold's place. He's gone out on crutches a few times so far, but nothing much and rarely for very long, still thinking about the fighting and all. But-]

Nooow~! As you well know, White Day is approaching! A time where I will repay the favors of all the lovely girls who have shown me the depths of their hearts. However!! Before that, before even that, there is a special chance I offer to you, girls of Luceti! A once in a lifetime offer, perhaps?

[He chuckles here, and places a hand on his chest. Time to change that.]

Though it is also a favor to me, please know that your short burst of affection and care will echo on forever, and this is truly something that I, Masaomi Kida, offer to all of you! A chance to leave your mark on a man among men?! Namely~!!

You could kiss my ankle to help make it better! And perhaps nurse me back to health?! Now, now! Don't all volunteer all at once, okay?! There's plenty of my body to go around, I open all of myself to you lovely ladies, young and matured, new and veterans!! Every last one, I know that your love-love power is the ultimate medicine!!

[Because, you know, he broke his ankle... bad. Raine set it on the battlefield and then back at Luceti did a healing it up via Nala, yes, but he was still told to stay off it for a while to ensure he didn't re-fracture the thing. And frankly, being in this house all the time, he's bored.

Which is probably why he decided to be ridiculous right here. Though there are... other matters that need attending. He'd prefer to go in person, but-]

[Voice // Filtered to Zan'nen // 20% unhackable]

Zan-kun, do you have a moment?

[...And is there anything else to say? Well, he could thank Raine some more, or Law or Aether or anyone else he helped him out, but for now he's just curious as to how the rest of that team he worked with is doing. He would go look into them, but. ...No way he can really do that right now. Maybe this'll attract their attention. Maybe not. For now though, he just lets it be with this.]
