seekerofjustice: (Curious Smile)

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.

Ren, the sleepy one in his pajamas (though he has grabbed some glasses now, he feels weird walking around without them at this point), has no idea what to do about his situation. He still feels somewhat dazed, but now there's this sense of... hopelessness weighing on his shoulders now that he remembers what happened. That he knows that he failed as a leader.

His eyes are somewhat hazy as he just wanders Tokyo, head somewhat lowered. He's conflicted about going to Leblanc again. The last time he was there, he ended up going to his room and sleeping for... well, a very long time. But it's all he wants to do, it feels like. It's easier than facing his failure. Facing reality.

...

...He's not sure where Arsene is. Perhaps he's gone, having faded away with his Will of Rebellion. After all, he can't make up his mind. He couldn't decide on a path to take, and that's perhaps worse than making a choice.

...What's he supposed to do?

Option 1:Inokashira Park is a lovely place. It's always good to go there, relax, and clear your head, and Ren does just that. He sits at a bench, watching as the cognitive people go by, and he just... tries to relax. Tries not to think about it all. It's hard not to think about his failure, but the cool air and bright scenery helps a little. He takes it in, as much as he can.

Option 2:He manages to work up the nerve to search for Akechi, specifically the one known as Dove, and heads to Jazz Jin. The atmosphere is painfully nostalgic, feeling as though it's been ages since he was here last. He steps in, and awkwardly sits at the table he and Akechi usually would sit at. What's Akechi doing now, he wonders...? Is he all right...? Is he happy...? He hopes Akechi's happy, at the very least. After all, if he had chosen to fight Maruki, then Akechi would have...

Option 3: A trip to Shibuya would usually get his brain going. He'd always be checking out the stores, trying to find something useful or cool, or eating at Big Bang Burger or working part time or... well, anything, really. The place has so much to offer, and it's lively. It almost makes him feel alive again. For now he just walks through the streets of Shibuya, wandering without a particular destination in mind.

I keep hearing whispers around Tokyo. Like when I'm alone, I mean. Nobody's around, and I hear them on and off.

I can't tell what they're saying for sure, but it sounds like they're mentioning coffee or something?

Have you guys heard anything?

...

...?

Ren opens his eyes for the first time in what feels like an eternity.

"...Huh? Where...?"

He was somewhere else a moment ago, wasn't he? Or... wait, what was he doing last? He... saw Akechi, he thinks? He's not sure though, it's actually rather fuzzy...

But he snaps to attention when he hears a familiar voice. Igor...? Wait, he's in the Velvet Room? It looks way different... and those doors over there are new.

Igor says something about making bonds, and Ren just kind of blinks, staring back at him with a blank stare. Is this a dream? He went back to sleep, so dreaming would make sense. But... at the same time though, something deep inside of him seems to deny that train of thought. Like he really is awake...

He steps further into the Velvet Room, looking around a bit as he does. What should he be doing, exactly? Honestly, he's not sure... He feels like he should be doing something very important, but he can't remember what it is...

-

Option 1: He finds himself lingering at one of the doors, slowly raising his hand to grab the door knob, but he hesitates. He can't help but find himself distracted by this whole thing. Why did Igor bring him here? Is it really just to make friends? He thought he already did that, but...

Option 2: He stares blankly at the conspiracy board, trying to take in all of the information on it. There's a lot here, and he's honestly having a hard time wrapping his head around it at the moment. Is he... sure he's not dreaming? Because this all sounds too ridiculous to believe.

Option 3: He finds himself in Tokyo, particularly in Leblanc. Without even thinking, he starts getting behind the counter to make himself a cup of coffee. Maybe that'll help get rid of the brain fog that he feels...

Just to update you all: I discussed the situation with Drake, and as expected, he was not amenable to our infiltrating *or entering* the Palace. At all.

Several of you have made clear, and I agree, that this infiltration can only proceed with Drake's permission. More than that, I believe we'll need his direct involvement. So we're effectively on hold, unless he asks for our help.

That does mean I won't be distributing the keywords any further than they already have been. Apologies for that. Also, I think it would be best if those of us *with* the keywords stayed out of the Palace entirely, unless and until we have permission to enter.

I'd suggest those of us who need to train up use this time for that. I'm including myself in that. 😂

Any questions?


[He will be so unsurprised if the first one is "how did you fuck this up so badly, exactly".]

[[OOC: NB, this thread is closed to Sunflowkechi and Girlren. Also backdated to after Sfk and Bmtaba's initial Palace survey, but before Crow and Falcon have made contact.]]

Goro is going to Mementos later. Actually, he was in Mementos yesterday. And the day before. And last night, he was in Tartarus with Phoenix and the crew (and the less said about working with Magpie the better).

Either way, he needs food, and would anyway. And so will Ren, and Morgana, and Phoenix's team. And cooking takes some of the stress off him; always has. So he's at Leblanc's small sink, peeling and quartering potatoes like his life depends on it. There are the beginnings of dark circles under his eyes. He's got to save Ren, and he can't even set foot in the Palace.

Shibuya of the Tokyo area looks as it usually does, with cognitions of all kinds walking all around, in the shops, and who knows where else.

However, there's someone that may stand out among them... That being one Ren Amamiya-- current codename Trickster. She's carrying a duffel bag filled to the brim with... books?

She actually has a small smile on her face as she walks through the city. Let's see, where next...? There's no way she's just settling with the bookstore. No, she needs to see what else will just show up here.

So she stops, and looks around, considering her options.

Option 1: You find her at the DVD rental place, digging through every single DVD there with a mischievous gleam in her eye. "Wasn't expecting this... Huh." she mumbles to herself as she stashes some of the random DVDs into her already crammed bag. What the heck is she up to?

Option 2: She's staring up at the movie theater, seeming a bit lost in thought. She's debating going on in and watching a movie, but really, it's boring going in and watching a movie alone. She looks almost a bit distracted, thinking back on something...
