i. morning - you can never go home again

[ He thought it would be simple. After all, this was Japan. He knew Japan. He grew up in Japan. Surely the church he grew up in would be there, right? He could easily go home. Talk to his father. Tell him what was going on, report what he had... become.

Of course it wasn't simple at all.

You may spot him in front of a house in some residential area staring in disbelief at it. Thankfully no one's noticed him -- not like anyone can see him anyway. Except others from the Near Shore... with is probably just as well. ]


This... it's not here...

[ Because that wouldn't be creepy otherwise after all. ]

--


ii. a teacher's duty...? (closed to Takuma)

[ It started out innocently enough. He had been walking around Tokyo with the most frustrated look on his face. First his home was missing and so was a giant town he was certain would be within the city limits of Tokyo.

But as he passes a local school, he can't help but notice certain things.

'Ugh... school's starting again.'
'Yeah. We hardly had enough vacation and now it's back to homework. What a pain.'
'I hate school. I just want to stay out late and hang out with you guys.'


There's a frown on his face. Studying wasn't so bad. If people just applied themselves...

And then he spots it: it's a small puddle of black at first but he sees it following the two students as they head toward the school gate. It's not a demon -- far from it -- even if it looks like one. Certainly no demon he's familiar with. But he knows better to charge in, even if he knows how to battle a demon. His shinki's useless and if it's anything like what he's heard... he needs a shinki to take it down.

So he's just going to hang around the gate for now, making sure to keep an eye on the black puddle. ]


--

iii. afternoon - the near shore - fish out of water

[ What a day. He's not sure what's worse - a full day of chasing down demons or a single day chasing down a giant ayakashi. In the heat. Alone. With the oddest shinki.

Much to his chagrin, he's heading home. "Home". He doesn't really want to go "home". His home is missing. His temple isn't home.

Sadly, the fish seem to sense his misery. Maybe it was their way of trying to cheer him up but he does get splashed as he crosses a bridge. ]


Hey!

[ He's sort of soaked as he turns, trying to look for whoever was responsible. But he sees nothing but fish. Unfortunately, while he's distracted, the koi on the other side of the bridge decide to gang up on him. ]

Who's splashing water?!

[ The poor guy is now being double teamed by fish. Please help. He needs a towel. ]

--


iv. late afternoon - the near shore - portable gas range part deux

[ Maybe you've noticed someone new in the neighborhood. After all, it's a temple that's hard to miss. It's a giant cathedral. Gothic. Imposing. And very very very black. Unlike most churches, it's made of black metal. Spikes, gargoyles, it's perfectly imposing if you aren't used to... cathedrals.

Another thing about it is that it has an eerie blue glow about it.

There are small blue fireballs floating in the church grounds, the candles inside are also lit with blue fire. It's just blue fire everywhere even if it isn't warm at all. Maybe it's the blue glow that's called you over to start.

Either way, the owner's home and the minute he steps into his own grounds, two points of blue fire appear like horns near his temples. Though he doesn't seem all that pleased about it. He's already had a hell of a day.

No pun intended. ]

[Takuma had been content in roaming the streets of Tokyo. There was a lot to see and a lot to do. He had taken up residence in a manga cafe until his assigned god found him somewhere. Now, he was just walking around, seeing all of the children in their uniforms. He felt fondness towards the uniforms and briefly wondered if he had worn one when he was alive. He quickly brushed off the thought. If he wanted to wear one, he just had to go to a costume shop in Akihabara!

He wondered what the schools looked like, so he followed the complaining kids curiously. He also noticed the small black blob and now became curious of that. Whatever it was, he didn't like it very much. Could this have been one of those ayakashi?

Takuma bends down, a little too close to the thing.]


You're a terrible thing, aren't you?
katanas_and_tea: ([moon] Better than nothing)

Might as well get used to it then

[personal profile] katanas_and_tea 2017-10-01 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Takuma pauses where he is before straightening himself up and taking a step back away from the thing.

He looks over to the person that spotted him, regarding him for a moment.]


You noticed me so easily! That must mean that you're a god or a shinki, huh.

This thing is an ayakashi, right?

[He points to the black puddle.]
katanas_and_tea: ([sun] Don't you worry)

Ooooh. Okay ~~ :x

[personal profile] katanas_and_tea 2017-10-01 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Takuma places the hand he pointed with onto his chest. He turns his attention to the black haired boy.]

I'm a shinki. I've just been wandering around, though. Where is your own shinki?

[He looks back at the blob and wags a finger at it.]

Now you leave those students alone.

[Of course all that blue fire would catch his eye...]

[Emizel was not planning to stay for long, just long enough to see what this all meant. But even that was too much...now that the god was home. Emizel was caught.]


Ah-- I didn't do anything!

[Why does that make him even more suspicious...]

Hey, you! Bad fish! Knock it off!

[One of the koi disappears down into the canal waters with a flip of its tailfin, sending a spray of greenish water directly at Tsuzuki's face as he dashes forward to try to intervene. He sputters and coughs.]

Oh -- crap, I think I breathed some of that-- [He coughs again, and waves a hand desperately at the stranger.]

Come on, let's get away from the canal! I swear, those fish are doing it on purpose.

katanas_and_tea: ([clouds] you have got to be kidding me)

[personal profile] katanas_and_tea 2017-10-02 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh that's too bad...

[Is all he could get out before the ayakashi made the taunting noise then bounced off.

He puts his hands on his hips in disapproval.]


How rude. We should chase after it, right? It's going to try and hurt those students, right?

Seems like the fish really like you.

[Not really. They're laughing at you.

Gohan knows they're laughing at you.]
trademark_skull: (I don't think that's allowed)

[personal profile] trademark_skull 2017-10-03 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Just a fellow demon with blue fire, that's all.]

...Do you live here?
sweetdeath: (bad feeling about this)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2017-10-03 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
They just started.

[Tsuzuki lets the other man drag him, following until they're far enough away from the bridge to be out of even the most ambitious fish's splash radius. He's going to be tasting canal water for a while yet, he thinks, and makes another face before rubbing a hand over his mouth and grinning sheepishly.]

-- I thought I was gonna rescue you, but it turned out the other way around, huh? Nice to meet you, anyway. I'm Asato Tsuzuki.
saiyanhybrid: ([76])

[personal profile] saiyanhybrid 2017-10-05 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Might wanna hurry off the bridge. They're going to keep at this all day.

[The koi fish are little devils, already planning to splash the poor guy more.]
katanas_and_tea: ([clouds] OTL)

[personal profile] katanas_and_tea 2017-10-05 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Right! Let's do that!

[Takuma looks over to the ayakashi making its escape.]

Oh no you don't, you rude thing.

[He takes a step off of the ground and goes....too fast. Way too fast! How is he so fast?!

He lets out a yelp and is suddenly sprawled out in front of the ayakashi.]


Ouch...that was unexpected...
sweetdeath: (honest smile)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2017-10-06 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tsuzuki offers a quick bow-- shit, he's introducing himself, he should've done that first -- and pats down his pockets as he straightens back up. He produces a plastic packet of tissues, and offers them.]

Here, for your glasses.

[They're not too wet, but still.]

No kidding. Things get pretty weird around here -- but fish attacks are new. [He raises his voice to shout in the direction of the canal.] And I hope they're gonna knock it off!

I dunno, I think it looks pretty cool.

[Admires the front for a bit more...]

[Though, once he heard that he could go in.]


Sure! I wanna see more!

[ No excuses here, but D2 can't stop himself from laughing. ]

It's not that hard to tell.

[Much like Yukio is doing, Trunks is exploring--even though he's not from Japan and has no reference for what Japan is. But being unnoticed is helpful, as it's allowing him to just get the feel for things and learn. Sneakers, green hooded shirt, jeans, and it doesn't take a genius to someone standing and looking at a house. Just...staring.

It's only as he gets closer, that he can catch the other's expression. It was likely they couldn't see him, but...]


Hey...you alright?

[Maybe.]
