[It's a perfectly ordinary day in Tokyo, if you ignore the fact that Akechi just got done enduring a horrific, white palace with crumbling architecture, creepy tentacles everywhere, and scraps of memory locked away and scattered like puzzle pieces, culminating in battling a tentacled abomination to free Wakaba Isshiki's Shadow from the prison of her mind, and... well. A mother-daughter reunion is always nice, he supposes.

He's on the phone when he stumbles in, deep in the midst of a conversation.]

Isshiki-san's condition is stable, but we'll have to relocate her before he notices anything amiss. ...Yes, Dad, I'm all right. Not that I don't appreciate the concern, but-

[The signal cuts out, and... ah. The Velvet Room. And not the Velvet Room of his childhood, but... this one.

At first he bristles, eyes narrowed into a razor-sharp glare. He has half a mind to complain to Igor about locking him out, but all signs point to Ren's "Igor" being impostor, and... no. Wait.

Recollection flashes before him. With that recollection, he grimaces.]

...Of course I'd end up back here.

[He shuts his eyes, brings a hand to his face, and breathes in deeply. He was such a stupid tween, and if people connect him to said tween... Who even knows how much time has passed here?]

[ooc: Older version of

fogboundcrow for the funny. Some info on his profile. Yes, he's wearing a Shujin uniform.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Something inside Aki-chan's small frame relaxes when the Akechis don't comment on the color of his phone. He nods at them, grabbing the screen protector, and tugs Rock-Akechi-kun over to the cases.

[So eager! The younger Akechi follows along, chuckling all the while.]

So eager, Akira-kun! You must be excited.

[The older of the two follows behind, smiling with amusement. They're so adorable...]

Of course he is! This is all new technology to him. It's so amazing...and once he gets a phone he can talk to people even when they're not here! "Messagin'," he says, by way of explanation.

That's right. You can message people with ease using one of these phones.

[Distance is no longer a barrier, which is also excellent for emergencies, of course.

His younger self folds his arms, contemplating.]

Is it easier than using a flip phone?

Much easier, but you are an ace at it, so I wouldn't worry too much.

Aki-chan knows that..."Go esplorin by 'self."

He picks up a shiny black-and-red case with a cool star design on it. "Mine." His now. Aki-chan slots his pink phone into it.

[The younger of the two Akechi gives a thumbs up.]

An excellent choice, Akira-kun. It suits you well.

[His older counterpart nods.]

Yes, you can go exploring if you feel so inclined. Since we can keep in touch, it'll be easier to know if you're safe.

There are so many buttons...! Once he's set up his phone, he goes over to the messaging app to find his phone number, and shows it to the two Rock-Akechis.
