( open ) for three weeks, she sleeps through the rain

[chainbroke]

Who: Naminé and you! (+Add (subtract) in the second prompt)
Where: A bunch of places
When: Throughout April
What: An open log!
Warnings: None for now; will updated if necessary.

[ A: Throughout April ]

[ Well, it's time for Naminé to do some exploring, so she's traveling around to different shrines. She doesn't really enter unless she has explicit permission; instead, Naminé has a sketchbook and pencil in hand. She's... drawing what she sees? It's mostly for practice, and Naminé doesn't think she's that great, but that's what practice is for!

She's pretty into it, but she'll talk to anyone who approaches her. ]

[ B: April 12, guest starring Add ]

[ Her good day couldn't last very long, could it? Definitely not. She's absolutely just minding her business, and her attention's a little off right now, since she's reading a book... but she does look up just several moments before she bumps right into--

Add?

This can only go well. ]

O-oh! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-- are you okay?

[ C: Last half of April ]

[ April hasn't been a terrible month! Naminé has decided to go out and explore the different businesses--specifically, an ice cream shop, a book store, an art store--she's just browsing, mostly, except in the ice cream shop. Maybe someone sees a book in her hand that they recognize; maybe they're curious about the way she's scrutinizing the art supplies; or maybe they find her looking at the different ice cream flavors and deciding what to get....

Or maybe she's somewhere else? There are a lot of places here, after all! ]

[He's trying to be discreet, with his (bright purple, stripey, adorable cat-eared) hoodie pulled up over his head to hide the suspicious eyepatch covering the left side of his face. No one really notices him anyway, so all he has to do is blend in with the Near Shore people.

... Except he keeps bumping into things. Which, normally, is only a momentary annoyance, but this time the person actually responds to his presence instead of moving on like nothing happened. He stares at her for a second before it clicks. Ah, it's that leaf-eating girl.

Add scowls and then quickly brings a hand up to his face to cover the eyepatch.]

If you're so damn sorry about it, then maybe you should watch where you're going instead of burying your nose in a book! What are you, stupid?

[chainbroke]

[ Oh, it's the guy who wanted her to eat a leaf. Except he seems a lot more hostile now? Somehow. Naminé's face falls, and she shuffles in place. ]

I really didn't mean-- [ what does she do ] --you're right. I'm really, really sorry.

[ just apologize a bunch it'll be fine ]

[subtract]

[He sighs heavily, looking away from her for a moment to (discreetly!!) check if anyone else is watching them. It doesn't look like there's anyone else from the Far Shore around right now...

And as far as he's aware, she has no relation to anyone who knows him. So maybe this is a good opportunity.]

Hmph. Fine. If you're really sorry, then you'll have to make it up to me.

[chainbroke]

Make it up to you--?

[ ... That kind of doesn't sound good, but he seems really irritated. It can't be too bad, can it--? Whatever he's got in mind, if anything. ]

[It's not uncommon for Kaneki to frequent the local bookstores. Even though he's only recently picked up a normal job (employing Shun's technique of grabbing attention, of course) and doesn't have a paycheck yet, he can at least take a look around. He easily becomes engrossed in scanning the shelves, looking for familiar authors and titles since his books didn't make the trip to godhood with him.

And he's absorbed enough in this that he bumps right into someone without intention, a startled yelp catching in his throat when he realizes-

He just bumped into a girl. A cute girl, no less. Somehow that's just all the more embarrassing, being graceless like that when there's a cute girl who likes books... But then he remembers the last such girl he met like that, and it helps him recover some]

Sorry- are you okay?

[chainbroke]

[ Naminé's nearly surprised as he is, probably; she'd been so absorbed in the books on the shelves and finding something that she... hadn't really paid attention. It's becoming kind of a bad habit, she realizes, but she's a touch too flustered to dwell on that for long. ]

I'm fine-- I'm so sorry, I should have been watching... Are you okay?

[ex_savor573]

Yes, I'm fine- you're sure you're alright?

[He's the one who bumped into her, so clearly he's the one in the wrong here. At least, that's what Kaneki thinks. This girl was standing there minding her own business before he came along]

[chainbroke]

[ He's really worried about her? And he's just met her. It's strange, how genuinely kind some people are here. ]

Yes, I'm just fine. You didn't bump into me that hard at all.

[Travelling by shrine is becoming a little more familiar to Shun after his first week, even if it's still an odd concept to him, and he's just brushing himself off when he hears something scratching from outside. It's very faint, and to him it sounds like a pencil, but as suspicious as he is in general, his first assumption is that it's something worse than it sounds.

Striding out, he catches sight of the girl drawing outside, and though he can tell what she's doing, he doesn't know why anyone would be drawing "his" shrine off-hand like this.]

What the hell are you doing here? [His tone is brusque, but not quite accusatory, though his eyes are narrowed in a none-too-friendly way.]

[chainbroke]

[ She's so absorbed in her drawing that she actually jumps--and there's a line going from one corner of the page to about the middle. She supposes it is her fault for looking suspicious, but she really hadn't meant anything bad. Naminé gives him a nervous smile. ]

Um... I'm sorry. It's just-- your temple is so unlike anything I've ever seen, I wanted to draw it. [ She pauses, looking unsure. ] I'm sorry. I can leave, if you'd like.

[revolutionfalcon]

[Hm. It's hard to fake that kind of nervousness convincingly, and Shun looks her up and down before his expression creeps back to something more neutral and he steps out of the shrine properly, glancing back at it with a shrug.]

As far as I'm concerned, if you've seen one shrine, you've seen them all. Hell if there isn't enough of them around here.

[Glancing down to her sketchbook and the mistake he caused on her page, it doesn't take him more than a moment to relent with an inward sigh.]

If you're just drawing, you can stay.

[chainbroke]

[ Oh, good. Naminé seems to relax, at least; he's not mad, and the mistake can be fixed, so she starts erasing that line. ]

They're all so beautiful and different, in their own ways. I've never seen so many different places like this...

[ She pauses. ]

I won't be long, I think.

[wadoichimonji]

[Zoro had been training outside of Euterpe's temple, just by the nice tree she has there, when he noticed someone walking outside. He recognizes her immediately, and without caring to put on a shirt, he jogs up to her.]

Naminé!

[And there he is, a tall mass of shirtless, sweaty, muscle, happily smiling at the girl in front of him.]

It's been a while, how are you?

[chainbroke]

[ Well. That's nothing she'd actually expected, and Naminé has to avert her eyes because hello bare chest. ]

Um! I'm doing well. What-- about you, Zoro?

[wadoichimonji]

[At least he's wearing pants, which is something, right?]

Not bad, gotten pretty used to living with Sheryl, she's quite nice. And funny.

[He chuckles, thinking of his goddess. He looks at Naminé and what she has in her hands and raises an eyebrow.]

You're drawing? While walking?

[chainbroke]

[ As far as she's concerned, he's pretty lucky to have Sheryl as his goddess. ]

Oh-- yes, I haven't really explored much here, and I thought this was the perfect way to see the sights.

[ Satoshi enjoyed getting out to the ice cream shop, but also all the other food places around. He had been working hard lately, so eating was a great way to reward himself! Grinning, he noticed that girl from the party and walked up to her. ]

You should just randomly pick one!!

[chainbroke]

[ Naminé turns to him with a sheepish sort of smile. Just randomly pick one... but there are so many choices! And they all looks delicious... ]

You mean... close my eyes and see what I point to?

[gekkodaze]

Yeah! I mean if you do something a little spontaneous, then you can see if you like something new!

[Forrest is perfectly happy to have Naminé visit his temple, even if she's unaware it's his at first. Considering how ostentatious its appearance is, it's hard to pass by it without stopping for at least a moment to admire the place, after all. After she's out there for a little while, Forrest emerges from the front door, just quietly watching her drawing. He doesn't want to call out and disturb her, so he'll wait until she glances up before giving a smile and a wave.]

[chainbroke]

[ Naminé certainly doesn't realize it's his temple, at first; and actually, she's so absorbed in drawing (there's so much...!) that she doesn't look up for a while. When she does, though, she's pleasantly surprised, and she shuffles in place. Is she allowed to get closer...? ]

I didn't realize this was your temple, Forrest. It's incredible.

[clothes_make_the_man]

You're welcome to come in, if you'd like.

[They had such a nice conversation before, after all. He thinks Naminé is just precious.]

april 12; night | closed to dataroxas

[chainbroke]

[ She'd considered waiting to contact him until the next day, but Naminé's so worried about Roxas she'd sent a message to him later that evening. It's a short message, simple and to the point. ]

Roxas,
Would you like to come over to my temple to talk?

--Naminé

[ She's got some ice cream ready to go for them, and hot chocolate to the side waiting in case he'd like something warmer. ]

[cloak]

[It comes as a surprise to Roxas when he receives a text message at night and it's not Sora asking him to google a thing. Enough so that he stares at his phone for a good several moments before he's got the presence of mind to reply.

Well, that and...other things]

To your temple?

Which one is it?

[chainbroke]

Yes. I'll send you a map...

[ And there we go: a map, showing the location of her temple. Convenient! ]
