(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.

Observing in Option 1 (1/2)

Hawaii was...something. This time he was all alone without Ryuji or Yusuke or Mishima dragging him around in various parts of the beach while he was practically eating his nails at what must be happening in Shibuya so for him to simply spend time in Hawaii without thinking of the future or the past showing its ugly rear end in ways he would never be able to anticipate until he actually gets there is...its almost freeing. He spent time with himself like the very first time he came to Hawaii.

He almost forgot just how different he was long before he actually started using his powers.

Safe to say, he had got a decent tan and had a pair of sunglasses resting on the bridge of his nose. They were the usual classic black but he has a feeling that being under the sun for long periods of time is making his eyesight a bit sensitive to light so its better to stay safe while he hopes his eyes become alright.
He only got wrapped into a few time jumps! Not his fault that the guys' sunglasses he stole ended up belonging to one of the chief Yakuza dealers who had come on vacation. And perhaps shipping some illegal weopons.

Welp, too late. Those are all now in a hotel room Kira decided to stay in after the agonizing thought of running into other doppels of his or Akechis.

After a clear win in a session of darts, he finds himself focusing on an interesting topic as he's- funny enough, having pancakes on one of the counters.

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

*Interesting.*

He crosses his legs and slowly pulls down his glasses further on teh bridge of his nose to glance at his lookalike and- lo, behold. Another Goro. Freaky. Its as if he's looking at himself from a mirror but something's different about him.

This doesn't exactly sound like a fun date.
