Ehhhhh-to. So, if I'm going to going to make an open forum here, any chance that you guys can tell me what you think "manhood" actually is? After all, I'm due to come of age in a scant week or three, and that sort of thing's dwelling on my mind.

[ And, perhaps just as importantly, what a soldier is. And if he's getting there in being one? ... The fact he wants to sign up for the last leg of his MSF Boot Camp actually probably speaks volumes for that, considering he just got out of one particularly nasty battlefield a week ago. But he won't mention that and he won't sign up. Instead, because he's still being kept up a little bit whenever he smells something metallic, expecting there to be blood on the ground . . . .

He makes an ill-informed choice.]

[ Action ]

[ Masaomi has a mission today. A very important mission that only women can help him with, in his eyes. The lines under his eyes perhaps show he hasn't slept the best per se... but that's beside the point. There are certain people who are excluded from this on principle (Katara, people younger than like 16, some others), some who he knows won't take it well so they're out (Shiemi, Raven, Temari, some others) and some who he knows are in relationships so that's beside the point. But he's going to go for something different this his normal range of playful to obnoxious flirting. He's going to try to be sincere today, and go for an ill-informed string of something approaching confessions. Because he doesn't want to be twenty and alone and with these mental associations he has now . . .

So be someone he accosts for that (volunteer basis, I have no OOC stake in people's reactions one way or the other to put it on the record) or run into him while he's all over town looking for people ]

[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]

[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]

( self indulgent stage setting )

[Action // Forward Dated to Tuesday (17th)]

[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.]

[So he's stuck in House 15. Away from Saki, which is all at once disheartening and something he's thankful for... and something he's unsure about, given the circumstances. He's not one to ask for advice on things like this at all, but left alone to just his thoughts, well. That's never gotten him anywhere before. Maybe just this one, he'll try a different trick]

[Filtered AWAY from Aoba, Mikado, Saki, Erika, Sokka, Katara, Shikamaru, Frey, Gold, Silver, Kaori, Shuri, Ventus, Law, Xion, Richard, Shizuo and Toph // 75% Unhackable]

[Wow that's a long filter. Excluding his friends.... Anyway. He gets himself some privacy in his old room before making this vocal]

So~ Luceti. ...Who wants to tell me about love and dating and what they think it means. Ah, trust too, maybe? Yeah, trust seems to be a factor to consider given the circumstances.

[...Flat tone. Jovial. Oh well.] Not like there's much more to do right now.

[Open Voice]

Now! As some of you know, my best bud is named Mikado right, right? Well you might not know that this name actually is referring to an emperor! That's right folks, you heard it here first, Mikado Ryugamine is a quasi-royalty, with mannerisms to boot.

So who wants to go on a Christmas date with the lucky guy?

[A beat]

Aaaaand paint me curious! Who's from Tokyo?

[ Video + Action ]

Heeeeello viewers at home, this is me, Masaomi Kida! [And in comes the blonde boy himself, sitting in what appears to be a advice booth with hos journal angled against a rock so it can see him and the booth itself. Albeit, giving he set up on the edge of a street, a walkby from someone's cat or dog or some other furry animal actually gets in the way of the "camera" here for a while. But he presses on, not noticing this]

And this, as you've no doubt gathered by now, is the world-famous Kida Radio!! Welcome, welcome, and don't be afraid ladies and gentlemen. Because I- am here to help you. As you know, Kida Radio is here to inform guys about how to pick up girls and to make girls have some fanservice from yours truly!

[And finally, he furry thing moves, revealing Masaomi leaning over the booth and tugging on the edges of his shirt. Or well, his hoodie, exposing his collar bone]

So ladies, if you're seduced already, don't be alarmed, that's normal. But guys! If you want to have my skills- [And he pulls back, smirking] Which is why I've got this advice booth. Here to help guys out. And here to help girls to me. Show up in person or answer here, your handsome host will be sure to say the word!

[And with a sweeping motion he ends his broadcast.

Before realizing because the book isn't next to him he can't set it off. Oh well. He leaps the booth to run over and do that. And he collects it to bring it back to his booth. As he said, feel free to respond on the book or run into him in person]

[Action // LucetiLand Option A]

[So Masaomi Kida arrives back from his Mallynap in LucetiLand. He's actually disoriented at first. And... shirtless. This is an awkward thing because of his hot pink wings which are almost never showing to people in Luceti because he tends to wear them under his hoodie. At least he has pants. He'll be disoriented, confused...

Help a guy out? Later on, he'll have collected himself somewhat and as a result produce the following short voice call to tell people he's okay:]

[Voice]

Ladies! I'm baaaaa~ck.

[Yes, that will suffice]

[Action // LucetiLand Option B]

[For the remainder of the day (now wearing a novelty T-shirt he won in a game but still with those stupid wings exposed) Masaomi will be around LucetiLand. Hitting on girls, Flirting. Stuff like that! Chatting up guys, hanging out. ...Possibly trying to get into that hotel later

This post is super open, have at. Masaom is largely unharmed from his Mallynap, aside from one tiny Mallynap effect: every time he laughs in a way that is somehow forced, he'll turn into an earthworm. Right there. And he'll change back! In a minute.]

[VoiCe]

[Hideously public voice at that, in the morning of the 15th (so slightly forward dated)]

Gold! Senpai! ...Ah, maybe Nii-san?! ...Ven-kun!

Let's go hit on girls!!

[Of course, because it's public anyone is free to reply, not just the people summoned. Sure it's over-cast today, but Masaomi decided to take this as a positive omen

Mikado not invited for obvious reasons. Frey and Shikamaru because they're a sticks in the mud. Everyone else because he forgot of them.
EDIT: There will be a log for the flirting itself later don't worry]

[Video/Action]

[So, you guys remember Kida Radio, right? Well, the following post is brought you by Kida Industries. It's a video recording, with the journal propped up to give a good shot of Masaomi. Sure it's unseasonably cold, at at least it's not raining. As a result, he is outside in his hoodie (a PINK one, not a white one, I might add, thanks to Frey). He's on top of a crate he's set up a little outside the square, and making some dramatic motions by way of his opening.]

Welcome, welcome, to the one and only broadcast for self-betterment, Kida Radio! Today is yoooour lucky day, Luceti for I - a man without parallel, Masaomi Kida, am not stepping forward to give you advice for all the things you might need advising for in your life!

[And here he lips off the crate, leaning his face in on the journal, grinning ear to ear]

Need to know how to ask a girl out? Need someone to ask them out for you?! Need advice on what type of drink to have?! What about clothes and color coordination?! I know it all! After all, many a boy has looked at me and thought "damn, if I could only be half as good as Masaomi Kida, and my jokes only a tenth as good, I'd be set for life." Well, this is your biiiig~ chance!

Bold! Dynamic!! Come and I'll answer- [Leaping back up onto the box] All your problems! If you doubt me, know that even someone like Yuuhei Hanejima would be jealous of my brilliant mastery of language and the human psyche!

And ladies, please. Don't worry - I've got moooore than a enough heart to give all of you a good time. You don't need to rush!

[Feel free to respond to his video, or walk in on him performing to a book in town]

[Voice]
[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.]

[Action]

[...Well. Masaomi has things to do today. None of which is talking with Hitagi because he knows he might be liable to be killed there and what with the draft he has other concerns. But! He will be cornering his roomie Freyjadour to talk to him sometime this morning as well he won't object to talking to Mikado (particularly in wake of his "warning" to Shuri a day or two ago) but he won't want to discuss the draft.

Aside from that, most of the day he'll spend trolling around the town. Possibly hitting on girls, possibly seeing people before he goes off to fight, possibly committing to a sense of escapism. You can see him almost anywhere in the range of the square at different times all day.

Later in the day, though, he flips open the journal]

[Voice]

Gold... do you think we can talk~? Oh! And Terra-chan! Cheyenne-chan! [...Pause, consider He can just visit Rise whenever she's only a few floors below, so that's cool. But someone else stands out. He's not sure if she... need it but:] Nu-chan too... maybe? [He sounds much less sure there.

But that's just draft business, besides that, he has more important matters to consider!]

So, Valentines turned out to be an experiment... it was pretty bad, but! Does anyone have any fun memories they got then?! After all, it is a love-love holiday of affection, and there might well be some sinful sorts here to enjoy the forbidden fruits offer to us. [He can hear the eyebrow raise there] Oh! Please tell me if you did, my heart cannot take waiting for the stories!!

[...Well, actually.]
