(Open) An Attempt at Reconnection

Across Tokyo, a certain duo can be found doing various different things...

Dove walks alongside Jinx (His world's Ren) with a smile, turning to him with a somewhat curious look on his face. Jinx eyes him slightly from the side, not turning his head yet.

After all, it all feels so... so wrong, Dove smiling at him like that and it being entirely sincere. He had grown accustomed to and respected the Akechi he came to know before the world had changed. Even after everything that happened, he still can't believe he's gone...

...No. He can't think like that. He promised he would try to help him regain his memory. He has to try, even if he has his doubts. He wants to see the old Akechi again, and... he wants to know if he's right. If their world really can be fixed.

Soon enough, Dove speaks up, snapping Jinx out of his thoughts.

"Well, where do you have in mind for our first destination?"

Oh. Right. Where to go first. Let's see...

--

Option 1: Jinx takes Dove to the first place that comes to mind... that being Penguin Sniper over in Kichijoji. It's a simple choice of location, being they bonded a fair amount over playing pool there. Dove finds himself approaching the pool table, gently placing a hand on it as he turns to face Jinx.

"...I vaguely remember this. I switched hands after I got a break ace."

Jinx blinks at that, rubbing the back of his head a bit. So... he really does remember some things? That's... good. He thinks? Or maybe it's bad, he's not even sure anymore...

"Yeah. I noticed because we shook hands before. At the TV station."

Dove pauses, raising a finger to his chin in thought.

"...The TV Station... It was where we first met, I believe... I don't remember you there, but..."

For now the two are just standing there, taking up space. Not playing a game or anything. The air is awkward and tense.

Option 2: The aquarium is the next place to visit, as Jinx decides that visiting Jazz Jin will be later in the evening. Dove finds himself looking up at the variety of sea life with a quiet respect as Jinx begins speaking again.

"You remember anything?"

Dove shakes his head, turning to look back at Jinx.

"No, I can't say I recall anything... What happened here?"

Jinx can't help but be a little disappointed, but... well, he can't expect Dove to remember everything. If he did, then they wouldn't be here at all, most likely.

"You invited me here. Said you got tickets from a co-worker. We... ran into a friend of mine."

Dove pauses, trying to think back on it. He's trying to dig deep into his memories, through the headache that's arising.

"...I..."

The air between them is incredibly awkward as Jinx averts his eyes as Akechi tries to think.

Jinx is honestly a bit perplexed by what Kira has to say. He doesn't quite have the energy to keep up with it entirely, not like he used to, but he nods.

"Yeah. Ren Amamiya. I take it you're an Akira then?"

But then he goes on to describe Jinx's features and asking him about things he likes, which causes him to blink... and get a sweat drop.

"I... guess? I don't know, strawberry's fine...?"

He doesn't seem super decisive on that as he rubs the back of his head and looks away. He seems a bit bothered by something, unable to keep eye contact...

Dove can't help but glance at Jinx from the side, worriedly... before looking back at Kira with a smile.

"It's been quite some time since I've a milkshake of any sort... Perhaps it would be a good idea to treat ourselves to some? It'd certainly lift our spirits, not to mention we haven't had lunch or anything yet."

"An Akira in the flesh," he nods solemnly as he looks at him from top to below. He looks...wornout. Tired. Dove was truly not over exaggerating, it seemed like this Ren was truly sleeping in the real world.

His expression does fall a little at the mention of strawberry milkshake being just fine. "Damn...thought we would have similar interests somewhere atleast." Awkwardly, he watches the Ren look away from him as his brows scrunch together. "They are pretty good...really."

He's curious about what this Ren went through.

Dove takes away his attention as he perks up. "Hm, speak for yourselves- I did get a light lunch in...Shinjuku (a lie)." He pauses as he remembers the little post written by dove about pancakes.

Hm.

"It was pancakes so I will just get a starter or something with you guys." He says, rather subtly as he looks between Dove and Ren.

Very innocently.
