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. ]

I wound up with a few friends from that Fissure, but they're all asleep in the room.
[ "Because they're better at that, than their human and Composers trio" goes unsaid. ]
I'm glad some good came out of that place.
no subject
I'm glad, too. Gods know we need some good considering what else came out of that Fissure.
[He really doesn't want to see another forest for a long while at this point. And certainly not fog.]
no subject
A brighter smile even appears. ]
Heh... yeah... [ smile fading just a bit into something more solemn... serious ] But, I think it was another example of why simply trying to bury the past only creates bigger monsters.
[ One corner of his lips lifts a little higher as he looks back up to Robin. There's something more driven, more determined in his eyes, even with how tired he still very clearly is. ]
It's not easy fighting those monsters, but I'm definitely not running from it... [ averting his gaze a little, for just a moment, and then looking back to Robin ] ...anymore.
no subject
I'm glad to hear that. And you've got people to rely on when you need it, you know?
no subject
Yeah... I do. And I hope it goes without saying that you can always rely on me having your back.
no subject
Naturally.
[He pauses.]
... We haven't even known each other all that long, but you've still grown since I've met you. I have to admit, I can't help but be kind of proud.
no subject
Ah... [ juuuuust rubbing at the back of his neck for a moment ] That means a lot... Thank you, Robin.
[ He's having an Emotion now; give him a moment. ]
no subject
It's decided. When they've all gone home from this station, Robin's going to find a way to use the Outrealm Gate to visit. Preferably once all the fighting's over, but... well. If there ends up being something Akira could use help with that requires the might of an army... who's Robin to turn down a friend?]
no subject
... To tell you the truth...
[ A short pause passes before he gives a faintly wry smile. ]
You're one of very few adults I've ever trusted. A lot of times I don't think of you as simply an adult - you're just... Robin, to me.
no subject
[His eyes widen slightly upon that admittance. That's... wow.]
... I'm glad to hear that. To tell you the truth, it's hard to think of myself as an adult sometimes... ... I'll do my best to be here for you no matter what.
no subject
And I'll do the same for you.
