[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.]

I always thought that it was strange they even had spellbooks in that library, since I first used it for just everyday schoolwork type reading. Catching up on the kinds of math or geography or science I was supposed to be familiar with.

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!

[ Sure, it's just like Lavi to suggest the library, but as she'd said it wasn't a bad idea either. If the other gods and shinki weren't very familiar with the Soulless shinki, then maybe the library would have the kinds of information she needed. The only risk will be that she may find something... but if she doesn't, it could be she didn't find it, not that it doesn't exist. ]

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.
pure_radiantics: (convo] bright laughter)

omg yes for real thank you <333

[ Kairi reaches over to take Joy back from Lavi and then waves to the baker as she turns to head back out. ]

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. ]
pure_radiantics: (convo] hopeful smiling)

Teamwork!

[ She gives him a high-five with her free hand. ]

That's why it wasn't so bad.
