Who: Izumo and Open
When: Early August
Where: Far Shore, possibly Near Shore.
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.]

Leaving so soon?

[Izumo raises an eyebrow at him, but he does walk over to ruffle his hair.]

I saw your picture.

[sonofson]

I was gonna go practice on the training grounds!

[He smiles a bit as Izumo ruffles his hair, trying to peek up at him]

I told you I'd put a picture of you up there. I know it's not a picture-picture but I think it works. You need to be up there with the rest of us.

[toremainbehind]

Next time, you should draw Aymeric a picture, too.

[Might as well, right?]

But thank you, Goten.

[sonofson]

Aymeric?

[He blinks a bit at that.]

I've drawn you and Leo a picture but I donno if Aymeric would like it. He's been telling me stories about his home before bed sometimes. He told me he rode dragons! Dragons, Izumo! If there are any dragons here, I wanna bring one to Aymeric.

[That would be way better then a drawing]

If you need more pictures of you, just lemme know!

[toremainbehind]

I'm sure he'll like it, Goten. But dragons do sound like a good present to give to him.

[Somehow.

A bit of an idea as he crouches down.]

Then how about you help me out with something?

[sonofson]

If you see a dragon you gotta tell me then, okay? I think I'm fast enough to catch one!

[As long as it's not an ayakashi-dragon. Yuto better look out]

Yeah, whatever you need! Just tell me.

[Goten nods his head eagerly, smile getting bigger]

[toremainbehind]

I'll be on the lookout for one.

[He grins.]

What do you say we do something for Yona and Shizuo then?

[sonofson]

[With Izumo on the look out for one, if there is a dragon in the Far Shore then they're sure to find it! He perks at the question though]

Let's do it! I haven't gotten to talk to Yona since the abolition thing and I wanna do stuff for Shizuo to. Did you have something in mind?

[toremainbehind]

How about a picnic?

[He thinks back to what Yona and Shizuo might like.]

[sonofson]

YEAH! I donno Yona that well but I can't think of a reason anyone wouldn't want to go on a picnic! Let's do it! Let's do it!

[He bounces up, grinning wholeheartedly as he spreads his arm out.]

There's lots we can do for it. Just tell me what I can do to help and we'll have the best pinic ever!

[toremainbehind]

[Izumo chuckles.]

You can help me prepare everything and set up a surprise for them, maybe even help me cook.

[sonofson]

Okay, I'll make you proud, Izumo!

[He fist bumps the air in excitement. A picnic with all of them sounds like a best for all of them and he likes helping Izumo with things and having stuff to do to aid him.]

When?

[toremainbehind]

I haven't decided on a date yet, but we can start making plans soon.

[Or now.]

But make sure you don't tell them, okay?

[sonofson]

I won't, I promise!

[He nods again. There's really no chance of either of the two asking him about it and really he's only terrible at keeping things from Izumo.]

We need to figure out what foods Yona likes!

[toremainbehind]

[He laughs.]

We do, but we can also introduce her to some new foods, too. I know Shizuo's been treating her out to sweets since they've gotten here.

[sonofson]

Sweets are good but maybe something with eggs too since Shizuo has trouble with those.

[That would count as new foods too, right?]

[toremainbehind]

We can do something with eggs, too.

[sonofson]

Your food is the best so eggs or no eggs I bet she'll like it. I know Shizuo already does.

[Obviously]

You can get more pictures of Shizuo and Yona too at the picnic for your wall.

[toremainbehind]

Goten, you think a lot of people like my food, anyway.

[You're so biased.

He nods.]

I'll have to bring my camera for that day.

[sonofson]

'Cause it's the best. Is there anyone that's said they don't like your food?

[If so, they don't know what good food is. But the mention of the camera gets another nod.]

Okay!

[toremainbehind]

No, but you can't say everyone likes my food if everyone hasn't tried it.

[He pats his head.]

[sonofson]

.....

[Goten blinks slowly, understanding his point but he's quick to smile as an idea pops into his head]

You're right, Izumo. Say, when is the next time you're gonna cook? You should cook more.

[toremainbehind]

...And what are you planning now, Goten?

[He smiles at the younger shinki.]

[sonofson]

If you make more food then I can pass it out and then everyone in the Far Shore can try it and like it!

[The grin just confirms that Goten thinks this is the best idea ever next to the pinic for Yona and Shizuo. He takes you too literally, Izumo. What have you done]

[toremainbehind]

[Goten, you're precious, but:]

I don't think that's necessary. If anyone wants to try my cooking, they can just come to the bar.
