It's almost Christmas Eve, one of the most romantic nights of the year. So, I need advice. What is the appropriate conduct for a first Christmas Eve as a couple when you and your partner are both young and inexperienced? And boys. We are both boys, and Ren is still grappling with the fact that he isn't entirely straight. But I want it to mean something, and I want to do this right. He means a lot to me, and I'd like to ensure that we have a healthy future together. Yes, I am aware that we are both young. That's why I want to stick the landing.

He wonders why he even bothers coming here.

The singer is as fake as ever, and so is her voice. She's nothing like the one at home, with her rich, sultry voice, capturing all the notes exactly right for a live performance. There's a certain grit to a live performance that he likes, the perfect imperfections of it all, that this cognitive fake so obviously lacks. It pisses him off, causes the black tar pit in his circuit boards to expand, swallowing him whole. At this rate, he might as well put on a CD at home.

Even so, here he is once more, watching the fake perform under the dimmed lights of Jazz Jin.

Despite her fakeness, the lack of Muhen-san, and just... everything in general, he can't help but enjoy the atmosphere. It rankles, knowing that he is so easily pleased by something so fake. So easily lulled into a false sense of authenticity. It misses some very obvious things, but-

-oh, whatever. He's done plenty of feeling like shit in the past days. Who cares if he lets himself have this? It's not real, but it's the best he's got in this prison.

He watches as the fake gets ready to perform a set, leaning back in his chair at his regular table.

If someone were to walk in, they might catch the brooding stare in his eyes.

Magpie is having a very normal day. To wit, he's standing in the lee of the train carriage in Station Square, staring down at his phone. His face is pinched and white; he looks, for some reason, both far too young and excessively old.

Hopefully nobody will happen past in the next thirty to sixty seconds.

[It's morning in the Dojima house, and it's clear something is amiss. That morning, Crow descends the stairs not only with Ren, but his Shadow as well.

Ren himself looks as though he's hardly gotten any sleep. The two Akechis guide him over to the couch. Crow's Shadow stays beside Ren, while Crow makes his way to the kitchen.

Those who live there or those inclined to visit may be in for a surprise. Usually Ren is in brighter spirits than this.]

[After the group chat took a rather turbulent turn, Crow spent the better part of the day with his boyfriend. Too tired to bother cooking, he settled for bringing home some sushi and assorted carryout and tried to keep a pleasant face in front of everyone until they settled for the night.

To his credit, he did sleep... a little. He cuddled with his boyfriend, tried to push through his lingering frustration. Talking helped, but feelings were exceptionally stupid, and so even after venting to Ren a little, he found it hard to rest.

Eventually, he snuck out of the room, though not before quietly summoning his Shadow to take his place.

And so he turned on the living room light so he could see where he was going, crept out the back door, and... collapsed in the grass.

He's still there, staring out into space. One with nature.

This is fine.]

[OOC: This post will be edited depending on what you say your characters are voting.]

Hello everyone, I thought it would be useful to have a pulse on public opinion about the management of this place, so I am organizing a poll here. How would you rate Igor's management of this place? To clarify, what I am seeking is your overall opinion on how he is running the place. This includes how he shaped the cognitive areas, his policies on entry and exit, the rules he is imposing or not... He is basically the leader of this place, he should be subject to public scrutiny like any other political leader. ...Amazing: █ (1 vote) ......Good: ████ (4 votes) .....Mixed: █ (1 vote) ......Poor: █ (1 vote) .Atrocious: ████ (4 votes) No opinion: ██ (2 votes) Do not hesitate to expand your thoughts in the comments if you so wish.

[For now, Ken holds off voting on his own poll, to present it 'pristine' to others.]

A picture of sushi pieces shaped into adorable little creatures.

Hello everyone! Are you all doing well? Today I went out to Odaiba, and found myself peckish when I came across XXXXXXXX, a small harbor sushi restraurant. I was intrigued by their curiously shaped sushi... but does it taste as good as it looks...? As hard as it was to eat these adorable pieces of sushi, they were delicious! I greatly recommend it to anyone who enjoys food that tastes as good as it looks~ The service was very nice and quick, too. I cannot help but applaud the waiting staff! Thus far, my food adventures for the day... I hope you all enjoy yours, too~♥

[Today, Raven is on a mission of utmost importance. It is a holiday dedicated to capitalism and profits for candy companies disguised as something ~romantic~. Well, even though Raven is not a girl nor in a relationship, he is on the move.

He has commandeered a shopping cart, and he will be making multiple trips through multiple doors to collect an absurd amount of chocolates.

Passersby may witness this young teenager cruising down the streets of Tokyo, or perhaps spot him in the aisles of Junes. Wherever there are candied confections, he's there, and he is grabbing as much as he can with a mischievous smirk.]

There's no reason not to go all out. It's not as though the cognitions care...

[And so he continues going back and forth, in the name of science! There's a very good reason for this exercise. Really!]

Sumire keeps walking through Tokyo after speaking to that Ren. He's lucky she didn't wring his neck right then and there, honestly speaking. However it does leave her listless to dealing with actual people right this moment. She's barely paying attention to where it is she's headed.

That is until, by some twist of cognition most likely, she finds herself standing in front of a half constructed stadium in Odaiba. Of course! Of fucking course this is where she finds herself! It's always where she finds herself isn't it?

Between Akechi's Shadow and his stupid Ren and just being here she wants to do what she's always done and beat something so bloody it seems like the stains would never leave her hands. She want to beat Sparrow's Ren so bloody he looks like Kasumi's Shadow.

She settles right now, for kicking the fence that zoned the construction area out. One way or another she was going to kill him, that was for damn sure.

Welcome to Inokashira Park. It all looks a bit... picture-postcard, as if someone removed all the LET'S ALL NOT WALK ON THE GRASS TOGETHER signs, and the wastebaskets, and the slight air of use. And the people.

The birds, though. The birds are the same. And there's nobody to tell Akechi not to feed them the shitty peacock spaghetti he got from the equally Wrong supermarket. So he is. A pair of pigeons are brainlessly tottering up and down next to it, unsure whether or not to indulge in a bit of indirect cannibalism.

He's got a package of bread too, for that matter. But that's for him. He also has a little notebook, in which he occasionally scribbles something down, and his phone. Oh, and his sweater vest, for some reason, is deep red and green; it looks unnecessarily festive.
