idk pretend there's a title here
Who: Akira, Shido, and whoever else! It's open!
What: recovery from the fissure, beating up Shido, Dogkira
When: ICly, April 20 - 27; OOCly, May 2 - 9 (so, it's mostly backdated!)
Where: roof, kitchen, beach, etc!
Warnings: Shido
a) for AW YEAH C O F F E E . . .
[ The last thing he remembers is looking at the day on the makeshift calendar he's made. That's why April 20th feels like any other Friday to him - the kind of Friday that leaves him lightly jolting awake, his heart pounding. And, it's not until after several seconds pass of total silence, he releases a laugh... It amounts to nothing more than a puff of air laced with some bitterness. How much longer before he finally stops doing that?
Well, he's not getting back to sleep anytime soon... even if he does feel like he hasn't slept nearly enough.
It's after he's managed to navigate his shared bedroom like it's a Palace - as stealthily as possible, for the sake of not disturbing Goro and Kurama, he makes his way down to the kitchen. Ehhhh... a full meal isn't going to happen just yet, but that doesn't mean he can't enjoy some snacks, right? And some coffee... Lots... and lots of coffee.
No, seriously, somebody might catch him while he's on his third cup (and still looking pretty damn exhausted. Alternatively, maybe they're catching him while his face is pressed against the countertop.
He's fine... Just tired.
Akira will spend the next several days primarily on the rooftop (where he'll be reading or writing), except when he's hanging out in the kitchen (where he'll just be sitting at... or on the counter, because he's a heathen like that).
Around the 24th, he can be seen doing all of the above plus playing some video games. Those goshdarn millennials and their fancy TV games. ]
b) for BACK TO THE LAND OF THE LIVING?
[ And it's starting around the 25th, that he can be seen looking even more lively than he did by the 24th.
He can be seen spending more time outside... and snacking more often? When was the last time he ate a proper meal, though... Well, whatever, he's eating, and that's all that matters! At least they're healthy snacks? ... Listen, Morgana...
... Chips come from potatoes.
If someone wants to lecture him, he can be found in the library and on the beach the most. ]
c) for CLOSED TO THAT ONE ASSHOLE NAMED SHIDO
[ It's on some random day, just after the whole Network Stuff Happened, he's out on the beach, intending to do some training. He's... cooled off a lot, but that doesn't take away from the restlessness. He'd meant it about the hand-to-hand sparring stuff, but Robin was right about Wound Up being an understatement. Maybe people should cool off before going at each other.
... Not to mention, maybe he could just use some time to clear his head out here, mostly alone.
Which... heh. Guess he wasn't the only one thinking this. They say speak of the devil, and he will come, but what does it say about a devil who's there without being spoken of?
Sigh... okay. He'd meant what he'd said to Prompto - he needs to just... find a way to work through his own feelings, after all, if he wants to help Goro work through his. So, with a deep breath, he walks right over to the older man. His tone is deadpan. ]
Didn't expect you to be the type to enjoy long walks on the beach.
d) for DOGGO STUFF
[ SOME TIME AFTER THE PALACE HEIST THING...
Akira's been feeling a bit weird since even before heading into the Palace. Granted, it was kind of clear something happened to him as a result of helping stabilize the Fissure...
Well, in any case, it's made clear the morning after Chapter: Izunia Palace is officially closed. He's tried running, tried multiple forms of exercise to just... get rid of that feeling! And, it's as he's out on the roof, he's reading in an attempt to just... ignore that weird feeling that nothing else seems to be helping with.
Eventually, it does help? In fact, he dozes off...
And that's what leads to an opportunity for people to wander up to the roof and find a dog curled up right where Akira was sitting. All of his things are still there... Hm. ]

For a moment, he stands in place, quietly watching the weapons get switched out. And, frankly, switching out his Personas is one thing - it's different in how they're switched out for an array of unseen powers, until the spells are cast and the abilities are used. In this case, Ardyn's switching out between solid weapons; they're literally... poofing right into his hands.
And maybe seeing coffee, and even... chairs and a table appearing in thin air is different, in how they're not deadly weapons?? ]
Not too long. [ walking the rest of the way over now! ] Why are you apologizing? Shouldn't that be my line, since I didn't let you know I was hanging around, watching?
no subject
[He waved a hand dismissively, giving an awkward smile.]
It's just that I've known people to get a bit nervous when they see what I can do. It's a lot of power to just be casually throwing about, to some.
no subject
[ He's smiling, though it might be clear there's something of an understanding on people getting nervous about powers. He... does get it, in spite of his words. ]
If anything, you're always welcome to use it around me. [ a small, playful grin ] I'm like a brick wall of fearlessness.
[ Even if that's totally a lie, overall... it's not a lie in this situation, at least. ]
no subject
[It did at least set Ardyn a little more at ease, judging by the smile on his face.]
I'm liable to end up making quite the spectacle of myself.
no subject
[ He's tilting his head to the side just a little. ]
You're almost making it sound like I'm not somebody who enjoys the same thing.
no subject
no subject
[ He's, like... 70% teasing, given how that sure is a dagger being taken out of his inventory - via him reaching into his pocket, that is. He twirls it between his fingers with a small grin. ]
But, whenever you're ready to put on a show, I'll be more than happy to watch.
no subject
[And after a moment's thought, a metallic sound rang out with a flash of crystal, thirteen magenta spectral weapons spinning around him like the cylinder in a revolver.]
'Why wait' isn't a terrible philosophy to have, though I do try to favor patience myself.
no subject
That gets an incredibly impressed look as he folds his arms over his chest. Without skipping a beat, he's shifting right on into his Joker attire. ]
I'll admit I've lost a little of my patience, ever since my life became even less predictable.
[ He's just. Casually summoning Satanael; the (translucent) figure is now quietly standing behind him. And Joker is sliding his hands into his pocket, looking... frankly? Cocky as hell. SAY HI TO JOKER? ]
no subject
[Ardyn put his hands on his hips and looked over both Joker and Satanael, clearly impressed but not strictly surprised. The weapons were still spinning around him--mostly swords of varying sizes, though a shield, crossbow, and giant shuriken stuck out as particularly unusual shapes at first glance.]
That's definitely something I've not seen before. Which, I might add, is quite the accomplishment when one has been around as long as I have.
no subject
Well, to be fair, Persona skills aren't something that ever even became well-known, back where I'm from. As far as I know, there were only nine of us who gained the ability to summon Personas. And, after we- [ . . . ] lost one of us, it was just the eight of us to fight until the very end.
[ His smile is whimsical and distant, and then he shakes his head. He's not going into the... rest of that story, just yet. ]
Anyway, Personas let me do all kinds of things. Depending on which one I've summoned, I can even repel or absorb some attacks. It's pretty handy for letting me adjust to almost any situation. The only downside is that some abilities are pretty draining.
