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 can give you a list of suggestions if you like? You can pick whatever works best for you.
[ HE KINDA. PUSHED HIMSELF THROUGH A LOT TO GET WHERE HE IS??? but... ]
Just don't overdo it.
[ After a soft hum, he twists a strand of his bangs. ]
Maybe a routine could do you good, period...
no subject
It has been... something, adjusting to such an unstructured lifestyle.
[His tone very much suggests it is not a good something.]
no subject
... In the mall, I had to form my own schedule. Being trapped inside like that, I had to really improvise.
[ There's a pause... ]
Humanity has always been about building and rebuilding, though. It's in our nature to adjust.
no subject
But he nods.]
Once I've figured out what path to take to accomplish the goals I've set for myself, I'm sure I'll come up with my own.
[I mean, he did come up with one eventually. He never said it would be a good routine.]
no subject
... You learned a lot about what happened there.
[ There's a soft snort - it's not a mocking kind. ]
Well, you definitely don't seem like the kind of guy who likes having nothing to do.
[ And with that? He reaches into his pocket. Have a Tamagotchi suddenly in your face, Shido. ]
So maybe you'd benefit more from this than I currently am. I keep killing the thing.
no subject
What is this?
no subject
[ Just... holding it out for him to take it now. ]
It was given to me while I was in the mall. [ very briefly glancing away ] During that time, I started to forget what the sun even felt like, so every distraction helped.
[ A gesture of "here, take it" even if... he doesn't actually expect him to. ]
no subject
After a few seconds of hesitation, Shido reaches out and lightly grasps the device from Akira's hand, fingers barely brushing against the leather of his gloves. He presses a button and watches the little pixels move on the screen.
Well... he can easily say this is one of the most unexpected things to have happened to him? Aside from... well, being here in the first place, obviously...]
I.. suppose I'll see what I can do.
[he's so. confused. right now??? what is happening]
no subject
Hell, it wouldn't be a surprise to Akira if you expected these to be from the early 80s, considering how old you are.
... Actually, some part of him is thinking you might be expecting these to be from another world altogether, with how out of the loop you must be with trends. ]
no subject
... If it's any comfort, it's not too difficult to start over, if something does go wrong.
[ Something in his expression holds a tiny bit of hesitance. ]
no subject
I'll keep that in mind.
[Yeah, it's actually going into his pocket...
...
.......
this is awkward]
So... that list, then?
no subject
I'll send the list as a message... unless you really prefer a written copy?
no subject
[...]
... thank you.
no subject
You don't have to thank me for this... but you're welcome.
no subject
[Time to make
a swift escapehis way back inside.]
