Little after BBQ time before Campaign stuff

[chippedsoul]

[Shizuo is going to wake up one day and find a small wooden crate outside his front door. Inside he'll find crate full of healing potions and a note.]

"Restocked your potion supply."

[hatesviolence]

[It's not until mid-morning when Shizuo is about to head out for his daily brunch when he opens the door to find the crate. He's puzzled at first, but then...

...

He contemplates whether going over to Disciple's or to just send a message. For now, he goes with the latter.]

Thanks.

[chippedsoul]

[Disicple was busy tending to his own errands to be checking on his journal. So when he sees the response, it'll probably be a half hour later. It takes him a moment, but he gathers what Shizuo meant.]

Just returning the favor.

[hatesviolence]

[It's okay, he was kind of busy trying to figure out where to put the potions and repacking his back.]

Was about to head out to eat somewhere. Wanna come?

[chippedsoul]

[His automatic response is to say no, but...You really want to go. You can't hide these feelings from me~.]

I'm busy.

[hatesviolence]

[Somehow he had a feeling that would be the answer. And while he's kind of disappointed, he's also not really going to push it.]

If you change your mind, I'll be at— [INSERT RANDOM NEARBY DELI CAFE PLACE HERE

Maybe he can drop something off later because... ...Does the man eat?]

[chippedsoul]

[He eats! When he remembers. He's relieved when Shizuo didn't press on it further, but he doesn't feel good about it. You know it's all right to want something else besides "the mission", you know? You can't even do anything about it here--]

I don't need you lecturing me. [He huffs, getting back to his business with vigor. Just shut up, Hyde.


But he inevitably ends up leaving his home to do some errands, which just happens to be in the same area of the cafe Shizuo mentioned. What a coincidence.]

After meeting Sora

[ricebird]

[It's a pretty normal day so far, just swimming around while everyone waits for the next act to start. But then Shizuo gets a message from a certain cook...]

Shizuo-san? Have you seen Roxas-kun at all today? He's not answering his journal when I message him...]

[hatesviolence]

Roxas? No, I haven't.

[He frowns a bit before he continues writing.]

I can look around.

[ricebird]

Could you? I can help, but

[The page stays blank for a minute, as if Kotori's trying and failing to gather words.]

Can you meet up with me in the palace garden? Please?

[hatesviolence]

Sure. I'm not too far from it so I'll be there soon.

[And he'll already start swimming because he's a little concerned. He thinks Roxas may just be out exploring or fighting hence why the lack of response, but Kotori seems worried.]

[ricebird]

[Oh, she's very worried, already "pacing" a little as Shizuo swims by.]

Shizuo-san...

[hatesviolence]

[...Yep, Kotori is worried. Will just swim up to her, that frown settling in a little more.]

What's up?

[ricebird]

I...

[Okay calm down, how to put this...]

Did Roxas-kun... ever tell you about what his home is like...?

10/13

[chippedsoul]

[A few days have passed since the Disciple went to see Naomi. He's gotten the potions from her, but hasn't really done anything with them...so it's time to report to someone.]

I spoke with Dr. Kimishima.

[hatesviolence]

How did it go?

[chippedsoul]

A potion to contain him a little while longer, another to keep my sense of awareness should Hyde show himself.

[There's a pause before more writing appears.]

I should also find a hobby and socialize more. [That's. hard.]

[hatesviolence]

[A potion could contain Hyde like that? That's...more than he expected. Having Disciple keep his awareness is probably the better part, though, since it's inevitable that Hyde would appear again.]

Hope the potions work.

But find a hobby, huh... You already have your gardening.

[chippedsoul]

I may need your help testing one of them. [One guess which.]

Clearly, it isn't enough to gain a hobby out of necessity. I just need something different.

[hatesviolence]

Fine by me. [He pretty much expected that much at least.]

Anything else you're interested in?

Early June, I guess

[chippedsoul]

[It's been about a week since Hyde went on his rampage through the city.Things have calm down since then, with Hyde having not been seen or heard. The same could be said for Kazuma as well. Neither seem to have been on the network, or occupying their home. In fact, their home has been standing quiet since everyone returned from the last restored story. One would think the place had been robbed with how the front door had been smashed through, were it not for the Hyde factor to consider.

So where were they exactly? Well, on this particular night, they have taken shelter in a certain monster's home. One with an affinity to electricity and has probably stolen most of the blankets during the night.]

[hatesviolence]

[After encountering Hyde and not seeing Kazuma for a while, Shizuo is a bit concerned. He'd pass by the house every now and then only to have his worries increased. Maybe he should try hunting that bastard down...

...Who would have thought the guy would just crawl into his bed. Shizuo doesn't notice it at first—he's actually a pretty deep sleeper. But when he rolls over and his hand (heavily) lands on something, his brows furrow before he groggily continues to smack his hand around wondering what the hell is this in his bed?

He's starting to wake, but whether he wakes up first or Hyde reacts is a toss up.]

[chippedsoul]

[Shizuo patting him down was making Hyde grumble in his sleep.] Quit that...

[This would be rather ticklish to him, if Shizuo's strength wasn't a factor. It felt more like someone was hitting a hammer on him. When it doesn't stop, he decides to take matters into his own hands. He grabs the hand and tugs, letting Shizuo roll over him and off the bed.]

[hatesviolence]

[AND SUDDENLY HE'S THROWN (sort of) OFF HIS BED???

There's a loud THUD along with a grunt and surprised shout when his body hits the ground. Now fully awake, he scrambles up, his hand reaching up to grab onto the edge of the bed to pull himself up to see what the fuck just happened.]

What the hell—

[But when his eyes focus in on what is in his bed, it's as if time stopped before there's a very LOUD crack of thunder and lightning striking outside of the house as he roars loudly:]

HYDE!!!!!!

[chippedsoul]

Geh! [His shouting was loud enough to make the bed shake. With the thunder, it may as well have been a small earthquake.] Whaaaaaat?!

[He sits up in bed, rubbing his ear.] I'm right here, Shizuo-chan. Are you trying to wake up the whole town? [He doesn't seem to be as upset as Shizuo. Had he actually been sleeping?]
