(OPEN) "HARU YOU'RE NOT IN HIGH SCHOOL"
Who: OPEN -- Haru & Makoto & YOU
What: Haru and Makoto were supposed to be going on a shopping adventure, but Haru's attention is diverted(3 guesses as to what distracted him) and he and Makoto become separated. Time to play the not so fun version of Marco Polo.
When: PRIOR TO EVENT; backdated to May 14
Where: the near shore-- starting off at Tokyo subway and then proceeding all around the city??? sure.
Warnings: does Haru count as a warning (other than that, none)
An innocent day of shopping... that was what Makoto was hoping for. He had managed to get Haru to agree on going into town to do some more shopping for groceries and other necessities, and that was a feat in and of itself. A part of him had truly hoped that Haru was finally softening up to him. Haru on the other hand... he had originally saw it as a way to get Makoto to stop nagging. But he genuinely started to show more interest as they made their way towards the Far Shore. It was definitely a nice change of scenery.
Making their way to the subway, they hopped onto their train and were soon off. The train was surprisingly crowded at the time, so they stood, holding onto the handles hanging overhead. The smile plastered all over Makoto's face was hard to ignore at this point, and Haru reluctantly decided to say something. "You've been smiling since this morning." Makoto blinked. "Ah, I'm just really excited to spend the day with you, Haru!" Blinking, Haru gave a flustered pout before looking away, his brows furrowed slightly. Of course, that reaction didn't stop Makoto from continuing. "I was thinking, maybe we could get a rice cooker while we're out! Having rice with our meals would be nice, don't you think Haru?" Haru gave a low "Mm" in response which prompted Makoto to continue.
"We should also see if we can find you more clothes. I know we bought some last time, but you can never have too much... Oh, and maybe we can see if we can find a new recipe book! So we can try making some more dishes!"
Makoto's rambling continued, much to Haru's dismay, and as a result, he kept his attention elsewhere. Soon enough the train slowed into a stop, and once the doors opened, a new crowd of passengers made their way onto the already full train. In the midst of the scrambling, Haru managed to notice the elaborate fountain in the distance. Eyes practically shining, he immediately started making his way closer, exiting the train while everyone still scrambled to get on. He didn't even notice the door closing behind him, too focused on the fountain and how peaceful... and big it looked.
Unfortunately, Makoto was unaware of Haru's interest, and as soon as the train began moving again, he decided to give his shinki a heads up. "Haru, try and stay close so we don't get separated." The lack of response wasn't too unusual, but Makoto couldn't help but turn to look to see where Haru was. The fact that he wasn't where he last was made him a little nervous, and soon he called out again. "Haru? Where are you? Haaaruuu!" No response again. A panicked look came across Makoto's face as the reality started to sink in.
"I lost Haru?!"
( ooc: we are splitting this into two main thread categories: one where Makoto is actively searching for Haru, and the other where Haru is... being Haru. your character is free to interact with either of them~ action tags are okay! please help Makoto locate his pooty shinki. )

[He smiles down at her and nods once.]
I'd really like that. Thanks a lot!
[He puts his hand onto his hips and let out a small sigh.]
Okay...so I think he got off a few blocks that way...
[He points.]
So if we look around there, we might probably be able to find him. The problem is that I don't know which direction he could have gone.
no subject
Do you know of anything that could have caught his attention? Maybe that's why he wandered off.
[ ...wandered off. She's making him sound more like a dog that got loose from its leash rather than a missing boy. ]
no subject
[Makoto is probably the best person to answer these questions, but he's doubting the answers that he knows to be true because of the memory loss thing.
But if he were to go off of the few things that make Haru Haru...]
Mascot characters or bodies of water...
[Two very odd things, but that's what could distract him]
no subject
[ Haruka you strange little dolphin you. But she's quick to dismiss the confused look on her face.
A pause though. Bodies of water... ]
How large do these bodies of water have to be exactly for him to consider it distracting enough?
no subject
Or...
A large fish tank.
[He has a very strange pooty dolphin friend, okay?]
Ah...! Maybe he saw a sign for an aquarium and headed that way?
no subject
So it seems his affinity for water can prove to be more trouble than it's worth if not kept in check.
[ Would he be crazy enough to dive into an aquarium tank though?! ]
Ah... hopefully it isn't that... desperate. I do recall passing a fountain on my way here. Would that be enough to call his attention?
no subject
Where was it? That would be a good place to start.
no subject
[ Turning on one heel to point down the street. At least that's the direction she came from so that might be where it should be. ]
Shall we? There may be some other places that might have called him along the way.
no subject
I hope he didn't get too far. Thank you for helping me look for him.
no subject
[ She starts off at a steady clip, glancing down alleyways as they pass - just in case a dolphin has found some water tank to soak in.
But sudden;y the thought crosses her mind. ]
Has he always been like this? Prone to taking a dip in any available body of water?
