[Open] What if we rewrite the stars?
Who: Lavi and You!
When: October 4 - 8 (IC)
Where: Far Shore (mostly). Near Shore.
What: Aftermath of Add things as Lavi checks on his friends, reading and sign language class, and Lavi remembers a demon child from his world.
[A. Lessons for Reading and Signs]
[After finally managing to procure a good place for lessons - he may or may not have snagged a classroom at Hakkai’s school at some point - it was finally time for lessons!]
I. Reading
[For those who wanted assistance in reading, Lavi does have some books piled up on a desktop and he’s looking through a few himself. While some people had shown more interest in sign language, there were still enough people who seemed eager to read as well. The books were all beginner’s level, but there was another pile of books meant for the intermediate level.
He could have just finished helping someone out or waiting for someone to join him.
Either way, Lavi will look up when he hears someone coming in.]
II. Languages
[Languages, languages!
Even if it’s mostly sign languages, in which Lavi had been considerate enough to even make proper notes for the signs and even the alphabet out, all drawn out on the board for people to see.
On the other hand, given Yoon’s own interest in Braille, he has a couple of books for that as well. Digging into the Heaven’s library is taxing, so he took a brief trip to the Near Shore to gather the necessary ones.
He’s even reading something in Braille as he waits for someone to join him.]
[B. The Ghosts Hide in Shadows]
[It’s late into the evenings, but for once, it’s not because Lavi is trying to avoid sleep.
That’s a subject for another time.
Rather, he’s been going around certain temples, such as Nekhbet and Apollo’s temples, mostly to check in on them after whatever happened with Add. Otherwise, he can be seen walking around the Heavens, tracing odd patterns in the air with a finger while having a calculating look on his face.
It’s easy to surprise him like this, but don’t be surprised if he greets you with a hammer to the face.
He’s a little jumpy lately and he’s not afraid to use that hammer of his if he feels the least bit threatened. Unless he recognizes you and then the person is greeted with a smile.]
Evening!
[C. Dreams Become Nightmares]
[He remembers.
It was worse than the other memories he had remembered before, enough to make him remember why exactly he hated sleeping or dreaming in particular. Why he hated it when his dreams were being intruded on, showcasing a part of himself he didn’t even know existed, but it lingered.
Lavi decided: he hates memories.
The echoes of that girl’s laughs haunts him, enough where he’s taken to sneaking out of Cardia’s temple late at night and has taken to hide somewhere or until he finally does feel enough exhaustion to pass out. At this rate, it’s not surprising to see him in the library or at a park or even near a temple he’s visited before. However, he’d usually leave before someone spots him, never really staying at one place and it’s easy enough to see something has made him frightened.
He mumbles to himself, sounding upset and tugs his headband off his head, holding it tightly in his hand while he runs his other hand through his hair.]
Damn Road.
[D. A Walk in Fantasyland - Closed to Ayumu]
[He did promise her a date - or not date. Whatever it’s called.
Since Lavi has grown more familiar with the Near Shore, he opted to take Ayumu around Tokyo first. It’s easy and a little more familiar to him than most places.
So, he waits for her after giving her the time and location, knowing that while he should have gone to pick her up, Lavi actually doesn’t know if she’s still staying with Hakkai or is bunking up somewhere else. Either way, it’s going to be a day for them to hang out and not worry about things like that.]

14/20 getting closer!
Ready?
15/20 getting closer!
I... guess so!
[ She turns to Joy. ]
Please let me ride on your back for a bit, Joy.
[ She wishes that Nimbus wasn't quite so noisy, or that would have made for a much better option. But Joy obliges and Kairi climbs up onto her shoulders, settling there with Joy's help, and pulls the tablecloth over the two of them. Thankfully, it's quite thick, but Kairi found a small tear to look through while she was walking back.]
16/20 four more to go!
It definitely grabs the attention of the teenaged boys, causing them to stiffen and slowly turn in their direction.]
17/20 T-3 doo do dooooo
Sure enough, the boys yelp and start to gather around each other in the alley, but in the process they knock over the lid of the giant trash can they were congregating around and send the little ayakashi down inside it. A trap without even realizing the ayakashi was there.
They don't seem quite scared enough yet to flee, but then the winds pick up and the lightning crashes again and Kairi + Joy step forward once more.
Then they're fleeing the scene. ]
18/20 T-2!!!
It's only when they're out of sight does he cancel out his hammer's powers, returning the sky to being as clear as it was before while the winds die down from around them. He lifts the hammer to rest on his shoulder, a wide grin on his face.]
That was fun.
19/20 WHOOP!
Time to be quick about this before the ayakashi gets away! ]
Onki!
[ And Kairi falls a few feet, sure enough, but she lands in a crouch with Joy's ribbon-stick in her free hand. Then she runs over to the dumpster, holding the stick high. ]
Lift the lid and I'll get rid of it right away, Lavi!
[ Because as soon as he does so, she's gonna use Rend on the little guy. Worst case scenario Joy's ribbon should bounce around the dumpster until it finds its target. ]
20/20!!!
Leaving it to you girls.
[He waits just a second for Kairi and Joy to get ready before he ends up lifting the lid, the tiny ayakashi immediately coming out.]
/FF7 TRIUMPH NOISES
So she strikes quickly, snapping the ribbon forward and wrapping it around the tiny ayakashi thanks to intuition on Joy's end. It squeezes tight and Kairi yells a little louder than she meant to, knowing the alley would echo: ]
ONKI! REND!
[ As Kairi pulls the ribbon-stick back towards her, the nasty smell of the ayakashi's blight fades on lingering winds from Lavi's power. She clutches the stick to her chest with a big grin and then turns to Lavi, offering him a high-five. ]
Nice teamwork, Lavi!
no subject
Well, we do make a pretty good team.
[He deactivates his hammer and slides it into a holster that he keeps around his thigh. He’s just glad that the baker would finally stop getting trouble around here.]
no subject
[ She hefts the tablecloth once more and starts walking back towards the bakery. ]
Do you want to hold Joy for me until we get back there?
[ Or he could take the tablecloth, but she wants to carry it! It's all she got to do to help Lavi out after all, be a scary ghost, while he summoned a whole storm! ]
no subject
[It feels a little weird to hold another shinki while in their vessel form.]
15/20 for real this time
[ She hands Lavi the stick regardless, to see what happens. ]
Joy's so much different as it is... I keep hoping I'll overhear someone else talking about a similar situation or Soulless shinki in general, since Hajime and I aren't sure what to do about Joy right now either. And I don't want to get Hajime in trouble.
[ But when Lavi receives the stick, nothing extraordinary happens. ]
16/20 at least we're still close!
[It might be something worth looking into.
Still, he takes the stick and holds it almost carefully. He doesn't want to hurt Joy, after all.]
Yeah TAT 17/20
But you have a good point, Lavi. That's as good a new place to check out as any!
[ Then they get back to the door, and Kairi casually opens it with a big grin. ]
Hey, guess what~?
[ The bakery owner turns at Kairi's cheerful voice. ]
We found out why those guys are hanging around your bakery so much and we took care of it! They won't be bothering you - at least not as much - anymore!
18/20 go go go!
[But Lavi does wave to the baker from the door.]
You won't have to worry about those guys scaring away other customers, at least.
19/20
And of course, here's your tablecloth back, safe and sound - and clean! Well, at least that it didn't touch the ground while we were using it.
[ She gives him a smile and hands it over, understanding that he probably should wash it regardless, since she had it around her head and Joy's back, but at least it wasn't that dirty.
He accepts the tablecloth backs and sounds half impressed, half bewildered. ]
'You make it sound so easy, kids...'
[ She shrugs a bit. ]
Sometimes all you have to do is ask for help.
20/20 for real this time?
What she said.
[He nods to him.]
You should have a little more faith everything is okay.
omg yes for real thank you <333
Maybe next time we meet, it'll be under better circumstances! Take care now!
[ And she hooks her hand in Lavi's as they head out, just because. He's a nice calming presence to be around in crazy situations like this and she's glad that he's one of her good friends. ]
np!! <3
That wasn't so bad.
/Hammers this home haha
[ She gives him a high-five with her free hand. ]
That's why it wasn't so bad.
