open post!
Who: Akira and you!
What: Akira can now change into a kitten and a merman! Also there are throwing knives!
When: Week after intro for kitten, and then two weeks after intro for Merkira. Knife practice is a Throughout The Month thing.
Where: Beach for knives practice and ocean for the Merkira thing. Then, it's literally everywhere else for kitten prompt, because lbr Cats Get Into Everything.
Warnings: Nada!
Kitten Around
[ Maybe it's as they're busy with something, maybe it's just within the corner of their eye, or... maybe it's something to be heard, rather than seen.
Either way, there's a small floof that's running loose around here. The tiny kitten will be taking advantage of its small size to launch sneak attacks on someone's feet - namely if they have shoelaces that can be played with.
The little mysterious bundle of energy will also be doing its best to sneak up behind anyone who's sitting on the couch to just... gently attack their hair or lightly pat their shoulder, before just... running away??
Play with him!!!
NO, SERIOUSLY, HE HAS ALL THIS ENERGY AND HAS NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT TO DO WITH ITAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH... ]
Knifeto Meet You Practice
guest starring: Naruto Expy + controlled emotional projection
[ Back on the human side of things, Akira's having fun with his emotions no longer being inflicted on people against his will. Also knives. He's set up a board and attached it to a nice, broad boulder. It's been marked the same way a dart board would be, and... well, what better way to get skilled in using throwing knives?
Maybe they're catching him when he first starts out. In which case, he's not even remotely hitting his target. It's... about as far away from the target as he could get, without missing the board entirely. Whoops.
Granted, after some practice (and some learning out how to properly hold the damn thing, thanks to Ignis!!!), he manages to hit right in the center...! ]
Nice!
[ Whoops, he's doing one of those tiny dance-in-place-of-excitement things???? DON'T JUDGE HIM...
Later on, he will be sitting down and watching some anime called Oturan about ninja and some loud guy in lime green and some asshole with hair shaped like a pigeon's butt. Also there sure is a lot of udon love in this thing... ]
... I feel like I've seen this before.
[ He doesn't sound... proud of that... ]
Merkira
first part closed
[ It's... honestly out of nowhere. One second, he's finishing up with his shower, the next he's dropping to the floor of the shower, releasing a quiet hiss of pain when his elbow smacks against the wall of it.
He hadn't even had a chance to turn the water off, which... he could be kind of grateful for? One hand reaches to poke a finger at the tail. This is the same coloration he had in that dungeon a while back. Why is he only just now changing back into this? Can the effects really be this delayed for some people? It's with a quiet sigh, he runs a finger through his damp hair, and does take a moment to try... willing himself back to normal? Alas, no cigar.
He has no idea if he made enough noise to alert at least one fiance, and... might as well make sure anyway: ]
Hey, uh... [ since there's no getting himself to the ocean ] ... A little help?
[ And it's after having been helped to the ocean, he can be found swimming around! Since he did kind of miss being able to do this, he'll be out here for a while until he decides to lie on the beach for a bit, waiting for it to wear off. Fortunately, it does wear off... for the time being. He'll be winding up out here, at random, for the next three days, until he finally figures out how to control it... ]

[Because apparently some of y'all have these tiny ass thirty day months.]
no subject
As in... each? [ as in, it's been 116 days? ] I can't decide whether that sounds better or worse than what I'm used to.
[ There's a soft hum. ]
Though... how long is each day?
no subject
[So yeah their years are just twice as long as yours, Akira, it's No Big Thing.]
no subject
He's nodding to that answer. ]
So, from the sounds of it, you guys age at half the speed.
no subject
[He's actually almost 40. Definitely needs a cane.
And he has to guess, because the person he talked about years with is Ardyn, and we Know About Ardyn.]
no subject
Almost the same age, then, by the aging rate I'm familiar with...
[ He's tilting his head to the side a little. And then something dawns on him-- ]
You said... Auldrant, right? So you're from the same world as Sync?
no subject
[Which might seem like a weird way of phrasing it if Asch wasn't obviously about three years older... visually.]
no subject
"Replicas are never mentioned in the Score. They're not bound by it, as the world sees it." ... "I'd imagine that's something that could be seen as bittersweet..."
...
"Bittersweet...heh. I suppose. I suspect most wouldn't see it that way."
It could just be his imagination, but... ...hm. ]
He mentioned being a general, [ at his visible age ] but didn't go too much into detail on the military system. He did tell me about the Score and how there are some people in situations not super different from mine.
[ He's very briefly glancing towards the station. If Asch is so much as glancing his way, or paying attention to his peripheral, with Akira in it, he might be able to notice the way the younger teen is kind of tense. And his tone has something sort of... stiff about it. ]
I'm sure you've discovered by now that there's another Akira, who happens to have a face similar to mine. She's not the first Akira Kurusu I've met.
[ AKA Sync told him about the existence of replicas. ]
no subject
[There's a pause, and then he frowns.]
I don't know how much he might have told you, but replicas and alternative versions of people aren't the same thing.
no subject
While he told me a pretty decent amount, I meant that in regards to sharing an appearance and a name. As well as possibly lacking a choice in the matter of so much as meeting this person who shares said appearance and name.
no subject
[There's a level of tension in Asch's voice that...
SHITlist:
- People replacing others or taking over their identities
- Cloning or other forms of human replication
... might be suggestive of how close to home this hits.]
no subject
I never said it was exactly the same.
no subject
[If anything, the calm and steady tone only seems to get Asch's hackles further up.]
no subject
But... okay.
This is going a direction Akira isn't on board with. He discreetly takes a deep breath, thinking over the words, and considering a few things. Validation, right? That's what this guy wants - needs, isn't it? ]
... You're right. [ let's keep it simple ] I'm sorry for how I worded it, earlier.
