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.]

[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.]

[redstray]

Don't look it. Or whatever happened caught up to you. You look dead

[toremainbehind]

I'll sleep when we return.

[Especially since Izumo has forsaken sleep to check on Shizuo and Yona at nights.]

The ablution just takes a lot out of me.

[redstray]

Seems like everyone's having rough sleep. Just try.

[ He knows it's not easy but Izumo's done a lot for him so, he has to try at least. ]

She liked the cake by the way...

[toremainbehind]

I will.

[A pause before he smiles.]

Did she? I'm happy to hear that.

[redstray]

Thanks again...for helping me make it.

[toremainbehind]

You're welcome, Eric. Always happy to help.

[redstray]

You're going to post your pictures right? Where are you going to put them?

[toremainbehind]

I was planning on making a wall reserved for them.

[redstray]

That's..a good way of doing it. You're making your bar pretty cozy.

[toremainbehind]

It's my home away from home, I guess you could say.

[redstray]

Isn't that a good thing?

[toremainbehind]

It is. Definitely don't have to worry about Mikoto possibly blowing it up, at least.

[redstray]

Why?

[toremainbehind]

He doesn't really come by the bar often, so I usually try not to worry about the possibility of Mikoto coming out of nowhere to blow it up on accident.

[That's how it happened to their temple the second time.]

[redstray]

Huh, guess at least that's one less worry...

[ Also good to know in case he wanted to visit more. ]

[toremainbehind]

[Izumo lets out a soft huff.]

Don't think even Mikoto would want to risk my wrath, anyway.

[redstray]

At least he's afraid of something.

[ Though that does remind him]

He came by my temple, wanted to come inside because it was too hot.

[toremainbehind]

[...Mikoto, what kind of lie is that.]

Did you turn him away?

[Because Mikoto is used to the heat. So, Izumo is a little curious why his god would make such an excuse.]

[redstray]

No...I let him in. He didn't say much...or strangely...

[ It was a pretty bad lie ]

As long as he didn't burn or hurt the animals...
