[ACTION; PRIVATE]

*Up to this point, he'd been looking forward to the memories; all the little memories of Tomoe, their marriage, their meeting, and so on. It had been spurring him on, knowing someone was waiting for him. Someone who loved him, who was waiting for him to come home.

The end of that illusion came, ironically, in a dream not long after the last batch of anemoi he got.

It was too vivid to be anything other than a memory. Images of her collapsing, then her in a hospital bed. And then... a phone call after a heroic rescue, a hurried rush home, and opening the doors to the sight of HER, tastefully laid out in the traditional style, a sheet covering her prone body.

He woke up, still confused; it was a dream, right? But then he reaches his cheeks, and feels the tears, and remembers. Six years ago, now.

Tomoe was dead.*


[ACTION; PUBLIC]

*Not that he shows it too much in public. He tries his best to be his usual cheerful self around others; only when he's by himself does he let the melancholy in. He doesn't need anybody worrying about him, after all.

But maybe you catch him in one of his down moments. Briefly. Do you approach?*


[VIDEO]

You know, I was thinking. A guy like me, hoarding all these memories for himself when other folks might want some! Seems kinda selfish, doesn't it? How about I just give some of you guys the ones I find instead? Just for a little while! Come on, what do you say?

((OOC: 3% on Tomoe's illness and death.)

*It isn't a stretch to say that Saleh has the tendency of being where people would rather he not be. Such is his timing that he catches Kotetsu at the right moment to see an unusual expression. He butts in, naturally.*

Well, don't you look as happy as ever.

*Oh. He changed the subject before it even started. Well, Saleh decides that he'll humor him for now.*

Ah, yes. Justice League Sirocco. A perfect setup for someone like you.

[He spends a lot of time in the park, and that is where he finds Kotetsu, sitting by himself, looking uncharacteristically grim.

Yuri isn't one for getting involved in the emotional lives of others, but after all, he and Kotetsu are from the same world, and they know each other somewhat.]


Hello, Kaburagi. [A pause. He doesn't want to pry.] You seem troubled. [Being troubled is something he knows about.]

Is that all? [Even he isn't that worried about it, and he is serious about everything.] It's going fine so far, and there are a number of people here who have experience with such things. If there are difficulties, we'll work through them.

It isn't like you to worry about such things. [He doesn't remember everything about this man, but even based on their dealings so far in Sirocco--Kotetsu rarely seems to worry, eager to charge ahead and not think about the consequences. He feels somewhat awkward about this, as they're not personally close, but something is decidedly off, so he'll ask.] What else is the matter?

[Meanwhile, Barnaby is blissfully unaware of his own loss, since his own memory shows nothing about his parents' death, or the betrayal of his father figure of nearly twenty years.

But he does remember Kotetsu, somewhat. And he's kind of unimpressed by the fact that he had to rescue him at least once.

When he notices him with a melancholy expression on his face, though--unusual for him, really--something tells him that he should probably be cautious here. After all, the older man's been around longer. Maybe he finally remembered something that wasn't what he expected.

So he simply walks on over.]


Is there something wrong, old man? [But it won't stop him from calling him "old man". Oh, no.]

[identity profile] bishonenbunny.livejournal.com 2011-11-30 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
I did.

[It had you in it.]

Huh? You're doing that, too?

[First Rin, now this guy. What's the story?]

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2011-11-30 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
But what about lessons learned from the past? I've learned a lot that I wouldn't know otherwise thanks to the memories I got back.

You're gonna work for something and give it away? What gives?

Sounds kinda conceited if you ask me. Maybe we're not so different after all.

You're jumping right into this professional hero business, aren't you?

[identity profile] stinglikeabat.livejournal.com 2011-12-01 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
Why not indeed!

I should pitch in a few myself.

[Keith's beat takes him through places that are thronged with people, and places where he can walk a few dozen blocks without seeing a soul. Usually.
Today he sees Kotetsu Kaburagi. Keith knows what wanting to be alone looks like. But he isn't the type to leave a friend completely unbothered, either.]


Hello, Kotetsu.

[Keith smiles, but he's pretty sensitive to mood-- there's concern in his expression, but he doesn't speak it aloud.]

I do use it sometimes for patrolling, but it's not that efficient unless there's a stiff breeze. I enjoy it more when I'm off duty, I think.

It's a nice feeling, being off by myself. Even if it is in midair. It feels easier to think things through up there.
Everyone needs to be alone sometimes, I guess.

How are things with you?
