May you have the strength
Who: Shizuo and YOU (Along with some things specifically for others)
When: July 11th - 20th (All of OOC May)
Where: Both the Near and Far Shores!
What: After a lot of shit happening, Shizuo's finally working toimprove figure himself out. Maybe get to be a better shinki and less of a hassle to be out with or around. Maybe he'll develop better self esteem, too.
Open A. Take it easy (I'm new) - Near Shore, Izumo's bar 11th-14th
[ Those who normally attend Izumo's bar, most particularly during the day, will either wonder if there's suddenly a work uniform or if an impersonator had been hired. While in a vest and bowtie instead, there was a clear similarity in that this man and the actual owner were both blond, similarly aged and had similar tastes in sunglasses that were worn indoors.
At the beginning of this time period, it was more likely to see the two at the bar together. After that first week of training, Shizuo's left to the day sharks, being alone and managing the bar. When the door opens, he pauses the cleaning to give something close to a proper greeting. ]
Hey- er, welcome. Go ahead and take a seat.
Open B. Sorry, am I intruding? - Far Shore 10th & 11th
[ It turns out that using abandoned temples for a person's own project was a more common thing than he thought. Turns out, one place he walked around was being used as a school! Then some of the simpler and/or grungy temple lands seemed like they had lost their gods as well. One property looked like it was just a really dense forest.
It definitely made things awkward when Shizuo poked on in to scope the area out. ]
Open C. It starts with a crash - Far Shore, abandoned temple 12th and on
[ It was the end of consistently having quiet days if you either stayed or regularly walked by this neglected property. After having found it, this location had quickly become an area where, for a couple hours every day, you could either hear and/or feel the vibration of heavy things hitting the ground. The cloud of dirt getting kicked up into the air was also a rare sight.
Strangely enough, there's no actual equipment on the land. Just a single guy, most likely taking a break, sitting on a half-standing brick fence and taking out a cigarette. Either that or pushing a support pillar back into place to keep the derelict building as close to one piece as was possible at this point. ]
Open D. Puberty was the worst July 16th
[Waking up seemed normal enough, but everything was bigger and he was suddenly twelve. Which maybe he could've dealt with in most situations, but Shizuo was also keenly aware that he really was an adult. Which meant he had to figure out what the hell was going on. Even worse, his teenage goddess was even younger, and there was no way he could responsibly take care of a tiny child. Even younger- especially younger.
Which is why he's going through, trying to figure out who was changed, and seeing if anyone has any clue as to what's going on. While not limited to these areas, he's checking the temples of people he knows, the school, and even seeing if there's people at the park or library (despite having never been to that last one.)
I just wanna know what the hell's going on.
[Being at this age is frustrating as hell. ]
Open E. Even broken, I'll kick your ass July 17th
[ If you're 'lucky' enough to catch him early on the 16th, Shizuo is the image of a broken child. Turns out, as a child, Shizuo was a brunet. Seven years old, with a neck brace, a cast on his arm and having it slung tightly against his chest, this is the epitome of a grumpy child walking through the streets of the Far Shore. Except with the child voice comes a very adult tone and use of words. ]
This really fuckin' sucks!
[ At which point, in the fit of anger, he kicks a nearby tree rather hard. Enough that there's a cracking sound as the tree not only loses the bark in that area but also splinters at the area of impact. However the small boy is very still as a look of dread goes on his face as the pain in his leg leaves him in a kind of shock. ]
Ow. Shit. Fuck.
Open F. I'll remember all of this July 16 & 17th
[The rest of the two days, the biggest change is the ace bandage that's around one of his legs when going around. He's mostly checking places and temples of the people he knew, but as time goes on, there's an issue. Without help, the mess of brown hair just gets more and more unruly.
Even more, there's a bottle of milk in his hand, and after trying for a little bit (and failing, because he can't do anything with one arm without a lot of pain,) he ends up holding the bottle up at the next person he sees. ]
Hey, can you open this for me?
Closed to Sharak
[ It was after a couple of texted photos, finally finding an abandoned temple that seemed to get enough approval, before the plan to get Sharak's help could actually go anywhere. Even before things were done, it looked like the land had its share of problems. The building still had some decent points of framework and walls standing, but there was more than enough sections of rubble and... a boulder against or in a mound of earth? It was definitely a mix of having been through some things and nature taking over.
There was no doubt that people weren't using this land already.
Having already been there to take the pics, it probably doesn't leave the best impression that Shizuo was wearing clothes more set for a casual day than one meant for the serious training that he asked for. (Though he's probably not aware of just how brutal the Sanzo could be.) Which is why, by the time she shows up, he's sitting on the grass, leaning back and enjoying the sun. Though not relaxing to the point that he doesn't recognize Sharak coming up- He's paying enough attention to raise a hand in greeting when she gets to the entrance. ]
Yo. So I'm not sure where to get started on all this, but it seemed like a good enough place.
Semi-closed for Izumo
[ Between 'training' at the bar and Izumo having spent a few days at Yona's temple, a lot of things had come about. Given how easy it was to spend time in silence, just relaxing or taking a nap (as Shizuo was far more likely to do,) there hadn't been many times where the two had actually clashed on anything. Most likely in part with Izumo's experience in handling hot-headed types. Though it was a little more clear that Shizuo had pretty specific triggers to his temper, and that he wasn't someone who itched to fight. That was more a natural reaction.
Then the mention of borderlines came up, which seemed like the second time he ever really heard about it. Which led to now, in one of the bigger open rooms in the temple, where the two blonds were.
Because Shizuo never knew how to make them, which would be bad in the long run. It wasn't hard to guess how easy it was for the guy to go after such things more physically. Which came with its own risks, way beyond breaking things he'd never mean to.
After opening up the outdoor halls to have some cool air running through the place. Being an old fashioned building, this was the best way of cooling off. ]
That should be good enough while doing this... However the hell this is supposed to be done.
Et Al
[ This is a log for all of May. Don't feel bound by what I put up originally. Yona's temple is another good place to start things, or just out on the streets of the Near Shore. ]

C is for Crashing! :D
So when she feels the tug of their bond from not far away as she's heading back to her temple, she pauses a moment to debate before going to investigate.
The sound of crashes and the feel of the earth rumbling under her feet has her hurrying in sudden alarm, hoping that whatever happening isn't too dangerous.
When she feels that she's close, she starts looking around for him. ]
Shizuo? Are you here?
no subject
Hah- Yona?
[ Which pings into his mind- he doesn't know how stable the area is. Meaning this could be dangerous. So he raises his voice a little as a heads up type of warning. Being pressed into the pillar, he can't actually see where his young goddess was. ]
Oi, don't get too close.
no subject
[ Guess who's coming closer anyway, following the sound of his voice as she peers around half-standing walls and lopsided pillars in search of him. ]
I heard a lot of noises.
no subject
I'm fine. Look, try to move over to a clearing and away from any of the structures. Things aren't the most stable right now.
no subject
[ She sounds a little alarmed by that. ]
Then surely you shouldn't be in here either! Where are you?
no subject
[ He sounds annoyed. It's more that he's trying to be 'delicate' in getting the pillar where it needs to be. ]
no subject
[ Guess who's not in a safe area, Shizuo? Yup, that would be your god, who finally peers around the right pillar and almost runs into him, her head coming up in surprise at the sight she finds there. ]
Oh! That...? Isn't that heavy?
no subject
It's tricky. Please get out from under here.
no subject
Now that she knows where he is and what he's trying to do, she quickly skirts backwards a safe distance - but still close enough to keep him in her line of sight. She manages to find a place that looks like it would be safe from any falling pillars though, at least. ]
Okay, I'm out of the way. I think?
What were you doing with the pillar? Is this training?
no subject
Not, uh... Not exactly.
[ After another second or two, the blond slowly lets go and keeps a scrutinizing eye on the structure. Just to make sure it stayed in place before he started backing away. ]
I mean, I kind of was, but the pillar wasn't supposed to be part of it. That was an accident.
no subject
Perhaps you should have warned it to stay out of your way before you started?
no subject
Kind of humiliating. ]
Yeah, well I thought I was being careful. Until I tossed this damn thing aside.
[ 'This' being a large slab of stone- obviously an old part of one of the structures on the property. When Shizuo said 'thing' he pushed at it with his foot, actually moving it a few inches and further into the ground. ]
no subject
His strength is really something incredible. ]
So are you out here to see how strong you are? [ She sounds hopeful about that. ] Have you learned anything new?
no subject
[ But he'll sit down and get out a cigarette. He never lights them up around Yona, but it's a force of habit to at least make the action. ]
I don't have the sense for any of it. Not really. The only real complication so far is juggling the size of things.
no subject
Perhaps it's something that will come back to you the more familiar you let yourself become with it?
no subject
Maybe, but all I'm doing is guessing at this point. It pisses me off, so I'm pretty sure Sharak's annoyed by it as well.
[ This isn't as great as he's casually making it sound (depending on how Yona thinks it sounded.) ]
no subject
[ Although the mention of an unfamiliar name has her cocking her head in curiosity. ]
Sharak?
no subject
Luckily, the subject had changed. ]
Yeah. She's a monk that was brought here as a god, like you were. I met her before we ran into each other.
no subject
no subject
[ Whatever it meant, she had to go through a lot of work and training. ]
We, uh, only started pretty recently. But yeah. She's helping me figure it out. I'm not really the best student or anything, though, so it's probably just as frustrating to her as it is for me.
[ Because either not making progress (in case of the borderlines with Izumo,) and being unable to figure out that one important step to improving, he's getting more and more pissed off with himself. ]
no subject
You have time, Shizuo. And fighting doesn't always come so quick or naturally to everyone. I know it certainly never has for me. When I first started learning to fight, I was abysmal at it. My own teacher always made it seem so effortless and easy and I could barely shoot an arrow more than ten feet in front of me. I'm still not a natural at it, not compared to some. Everything I learned I had to work hard at to do so. I see you doing the same thing here and I don't doubt for a moment that you'll be able to master it.
[ Her lips quirk faintly and she leans in to bump her shoulder against him gently. ] I have every faith in you and I'm proud that you're my shinki. You're my Ryuuki, after all.
no subject
Not in a bad way. This is just that moment where he looks at the whole thing, himself included, and sees how things are. The young girl he was charged with, only knowing about each other as much as they could in this shot time, trying to encourage and make him feel better. Which is certainly embarrassing, as said, but in a heartening way.
Even if he gets a little worried about her bumping her shoulder against him- The man seemed to have an irrational fear of hurting people when they do things and he's not actually moving. ]
Yeah, well I definitely need to work faster to earn that name.
[ He gives the lightest of pats to her head before standing up- offering a hand to the redhead. ]
C'mon, let's head over to the near shore. I'm probably done for the day and if I remember right, you were promised milkshakes.
no subject
You've already earned it, just by being you. Nothing's going to change that. Your place is right here, no matter how fast or how deep you come to understand your strength. Don't feel like you need to rush yourself for my sake. I think we shall manage quite well against anything we come up against.
[ But she gets to her feet, an excited expression coming across her face at the reminder of the promised treat. ]
Milkshakes? You'd like to go today? Are you sure I won't be interrupting your plans? [ Which.... just has her glancing around them sheepishly. ] More than I already have, at least?
no subject
I think I was done when I almost took out that support.
[ Well, not almost. He put it back, at least. ]
We could use the trip to the city, anyway. You'll get to see a lot more new things too.
no subject
Still, she's hardly going to argue with that logic and she casts him an excited smile at the opportunity. ]
I'd love that! Shall we go now? [ She keeps hold of his hand in that case, since she'll need to teleport them there. At least that's one skill she's been getting the hang of. ]
