What: Post-Ablution stuff. Coping with missing friends and returned memories. Izumo doesn't appreciate haunting season.
Warning: N/A


A. Cnoc Áine - After Shizuo’s Ablution

[After performing the ablution on Shizuo with Chikusa and Goten, Izumo has decided to stick around Yona’s temple to keep an eye on the two. Normally he wouldn’t be around the temple so much, only ever coming and go briefly to visit Shizuo or Yona. He usually sticks to the room that ended up being his, but he’s actually out and about in the temple now.

If he looks a little tired, just pretend that he isn’t instead.

However, anyone around the temple might spot him in the halls or somewhere outside. Come and talk to him? Drink with him?]

B. Double Cross Bar - Memories On A Wall

[The moment he’s learned that Sora and Roxas are gone, Izumo felt a bit—not sad, per se, but something close to it. While he wouldn’t exactly call himself sentimental, he’s decided that putting up a photo wall can be at least one way of keeping memories alive.

So, after a day or two, he puts up a post on the BBS:]

If anyone has any photos of Sora and Roxas, mind if I have a copy? I’m working on a project right now, so I thought it’d be good to start with those two first.

[Anyone who does come to the bar will find Izumo leaning against the counter, focused on a blank wall to the side. He seems thoughtful, though he does glance over at anyone who comes in.]

C. When Will Dreams End? [Closed to Totsuka]

[He sent a text to Totsuka earlier that morning upon awakening. It’s not like how he reacted when he first remembered Anna, but now some things the man has said the few times they’ve met makes sense.

Choosing his bar instead of Mikoto’s temple or Totsuka’s temple was a good place to talk. With it still closed, it gives them the proper privacy they need.

Really, Izumo didn’t enjoy waking up suddenly remembering people from his past life, but it’s even worse now because this time, he’s aware of one fact about the god: he’s dead.

By the time Totsuka comes to the bar, Izumo already has a drink in front of him.]

D. Fade to Black

[It’s August.

It’s summer and it’s haunting season.

So, it’s not surprising that Izumo is being haunted by some ghosts that decides to play with him. Which is why he’s looking fairly unimpressed at a floating lighter, the sounds of childish giggles heard around him.]

I will, but maybe another one can be good, too.

Just in case.

[redstray]

Hmm...

[ He tilts his head in thought before scanning the cameras again. He points to another one. ]

This one also looks pretty good, if you want variety. Just a different company with different features...

[toremainbehind]

You have a good eye for this sort of thing, Eric.

[He's glad he brought you along with him.

But he does pick up the camera, checking it out.]

[redstray]

Guess so...

[ He shrugs, it was kind of strange he knew a bit more about cameras then a lot of things other people knew. But, he also knew he shouldn't think about it too, it was just something that happened. ]

[toremainbehind]

You did help, so thank you.

[It's okay, Eric. He understands. He's also going to buy those cameras now.]

[redstray]

Uhm, no problem...

[ He'll follow along then, there's no need to waste time. ]

[toremainbehind]

[And after purchasing one, Izumo checks one of the cameras and turns it on.

Fortunately, the battery isn't dead, so he smiles at the other shinki.]

Want to be the first to have their picture taken?

[redstray]

[ He starts at the offer, not sure what to say. ]

Ah...uhm...

[ He shrugs, although he tries and hide more in his hoodie. ]

If...you want?

[toremainbehind]

I'm asking you because I want you to be comfortable with it, Eric.

[He hands the camera to him.]

Or you can take a picture of me first.

[redstray]

Sure...then I can take your picture next?

[ He doesn't mind so much it was just so sudden. ]

[toremainbehind]

Of course you can.

[redstray]

Okay...

[ He prepares himself, getting somewhat comfortable and less stiff.

And you know what? He'll take off his hood. You get the full mop of his hair
]

This...okay?

[toremainbehind]

That's perfectly fine.

[Lifting the camera, he gives Eric a reassuring smile before he takes the picture.]

[redstray]

Okay...now you.

[ He shuffles over, hand reaching out for the camera. ]

[toremainbehind]

[Izumo hands the camera over to him.]

[redstray]

[ He takes it and fiddles with it a bit, checking out the settings, before setting them to something and pointing it at Izumo ]

Ready?

[toremainbehind]

Ready.

[And he'll stay still long enough and smile.]

[redstray]

[ He takes a picture and more just in case before hebhands it back over to Izumo. ]

All done.

[toremainbehind]

[Taking it back, he looks over the pictures and nods.]

These are some really good shots.

[redstray]

Just wanted to make sure one was good.

[ He shrugs. Closed eyes, random blur, makes more sense to have more then one shot at least ]

[toremainbehind]

[Izumo chuckles.]

Well, in that case, do you want to help me take pictures around here then? You can take pictures to make your own memories.

[redstray]

It's fine...That ablution must have been really tiring, we can head back.

[toremainbehind]

Alright.

[He sees what you're doing there, Eric, but fine, he'll acquiesce.

Just don't be surprised if there's a present for you one day with the camera he chose out inside of it.]

[redstray]

[ He follows him back to his place, eyeing him a bit. ]

Have you been sleeping?

[ Good luck trying to give it to him, whenever that will be. ]

[toremainbehind]

I have.

[Sleeping more than he usually does, but yes.]
