Who knows what’s right? The lines keep getting thinner
Who: Shido Masayoshi and whatever unfortunate soul decides to approach him (Open)
What: Shido is working himself to the bone via self-inflicted punishment
When: Early May (like 5/1 ~ 5/12 or thereabouts)
Where: Various
Warnings: Lots of badbrain stuff going on with Shido rn, including self-deprecation, possible thoughts of suicide
[Library]
[Off in the corner sits a man, pouring over a manner of books. The more the days go by, the more that energy and health is sapped from him. The bags under his eyes have been persistent since day one of arriving here, but the noticeable changes are that he does seem to be losing some weight, and perhaps becoming a bit pallid... Yet a fire burns behind his eyes as he reads at the library like clockwork, occasionally extending a hand, fingers tensing, trying to press themselves down on some invisible object. Very occasionally, if one just happens to be around at the right time of day, they might hear a singular "pop" of air in his direction. It's also possible, at times, to find him completely slumped over on the table he's at, asleep, often grunting and twitching in his sleep— it's clearly not very restful...
On a brighter now, later on in the week you might see a henohenomoheji drawn on the back of Shido's head? He doesn't seem to be aware of this...]
[Library - 5/7 (Closed to Izunia)]
[There's more than just a pop today. Today? There's an outright crackle and snap of electricity.
Followed by an agonized yell and the clatter of a chair.
Shido lays on the floor, breathing heavily, one arm desperately clutching at the other that spasms from the surge of electricity that had torn through it. And then something peculiar happens.
Shido laughs. An unsteady sort of laugh, but nevertheless.
Maybe he electrocuted himself so badly he fried his brain...]
[Outside]
[If you get extra lucky, you might catch Shido outside. Particularly, the spot he chooses to go is north, to the top of the Skyclimb Cliffs, where he looks out to the ocean. It seems, well... somewhat of a precarious place for someone to be, really. He seems to be awfully close to the edge at times, no sign of fear or wariness in his body. You might catch him looking down, as if considering something, but for the most part? His gaze remains on the endless blue.
And then, after about thirty minutes of this, he'll quietly turn and head back.]

[ She's gonna acknowledge that this was unwarranted. ]
Still, I kind of needed to do something to cover up the thing on your head.
no subject
What thing?
no subject
She shows it to him. ]
Like that one movie where this dude used dark magic to attach the villain's face to the back of his head and then he just kept it underneath a turban.
Except less metal.
no subject
He doesn't ask that question, but what kind of movie is that, seriously... Instead, he studies the picture...
Ah.]
... I see Akechi's been entertaining himself while I was asleep.
[His hand comes up to rub at the back of his head. All he manages to do is smear it a bit.]
no subject
[ Wait. She doesn't want Yoshi McBareback getting the wrong implication here. ]
For the record, I'm 1000% sure you and me aren't related. My dad and I just like collecting family like fuckin' action figures, it's great.
no subject
Is that so...
[... well. This is probably a sign that he should take a shower, huh. He gives a sigh, then pushes the chair back from the table to get up.]
no subject
[ She doesn't know too many details about Goro's CRAU adventures, but she supposes someone could fill Shido in. ]
Found out from him that he was with my dad in one, and Dad... adopted him? Which is cool, he kinda recognized me after I fucked up the first time we met. I mean, it took a while, but.
Wasn't really too hard? I don't exactly have the most common surname in the multiverse for some reason, and I always looked more like my dad, anyway, so, y'know.
[She does some jazz hands:]
~Ace detective~
[Okay, she's gonna stop that little flourish in her voice and go back to normal.]
So yeah, now it's ride or die. Because that's what you do for your brother.
no subject
He pauses and gives Marla an odd look, mostly honing in on what she mentioned of her father. Her father... adopted Goro? How was he even able to do something like that in an entirely different universe? How would he have been able to get a hold of his koseki? Let alone contact the proper agencies to finalize that sort of thing...
You know, maybe he should give up trying to understand this woman.]
Right. Of course.
["""Of course."""]
If you'll excuse me...
[He's gonna go take that shower.]
no subject
[Welp, if he's leaving, she'll stand back, leaning her cane against the wall so he doesn't trip. She's not that mean.]
Have fun, Yoshi.
