[A-KAPPA-ING WE GO

Not that Yasusada has any idea what a tunnel of love is?! He's just wandered over here because there are new doors and he's curious. Kazu will also notice that his clothes have their color back! Yay, authentic Shinsengumi haori!]

Do you know what's in here?

[dms]

Whoa! Now you really look like someone from the Shinsengumi! That's way cooler than the monochrome version, for sure!

[ sorry he has to gush first. ]

...I guess they didn't have Tunnels of Love back in those days, did they? Want to give it a shot? We can go together!

w0, thursday

[dms]

[ kazu lets him in with a little flourish! ]

C'mon, you're just in time for the big fight scene! It probs won't be on long, so we better enjoy it while we can!

[ sure enough, there's an old black and white movie projected on the wall, with two ninja ready to clash... ]

[aitou]

[INTO THE HELIOHO APARTMENT THEY GO]

Fight scene?

[He knows what movies are, but he's never actually watched one before--he follows Kazu inside, looking curiously at the wall. TECHNOLOGY...]

w0, friday

[dms]

[ kazu's flopped back one of the cushioned benches up on the rooftop and gives yams an enthusiastic wave when he arrives! ]

Heya~! Did you see the news? Are you totally excited for tomorrow?

[aitou]

[NERDS on the ROOF!!!

Yasusada trots over to him, nodding eagerly.]

I am! It's kind of like a performance, right? I really want to see!

w0, sunday

[dms]

[ yo that was so hecked up even kazu has some weird feels rankling around the old noggin, but he brightens when he sees yams! ]

Wild party, huh? Weren't Mari and the others so cool at the end? Like heroes!

[aitou]

[SAVE POOR KAZU. Save them all?! They didn't ask for this life.]

I'm glad they got back in time! It was really close.

w1, thursday

[dms]

Yams!! I heard you were hurt, too?? What happened?! You went to the med bay, right? (˚☐˚! )/

[aitou]

[KAZUUUUU YOUR BAD DAY]

yeah
im okay
susensei was here and helped

w2, monday

[aitou]

[THEIR DOJO!!!!

It's not the same as having his actual vessel with him, but Yasusada already looks much more comfortable with a sword in his hand, even if it's wooden. He smiles brightly and trots up to Kazu when he spots him!!!]

Are you ready to try?

[dms]

[ ohhhhh puppy mode activated?! ]

You bet I am! Gotta make sure I do Okita justice, right?!

w2, friday

[aitou]

[Who dares to give Dana death this is so unfair

ANYWAY Kazu can find yams here in the void, all of his usual energy and cheer replaced with a heavy melancholy. I'm sorry sad sword is just here being sad.]

[dms]

[ yeah. understandable. kazu is just going to come and stand or sit beside him, whichever. ]

Hard to believe anyone would want to hurt him, isn't it?

w3, monday

[dms]

[ what a nice day to come and see all the animals in the petting zoo! is yams petting the animals? i hope so. kazu's going to take a picture of it. hi. ]

[aitou]

[HE IS. Yams is in fact buried in baby chicks, laughing as they climb over his legs without a care in the world. It will be the cutest of pictures!!]

Do you want to come pet them?

w3, sunday

[dms]

[ it's been such a day, touches the ground. sometime after........ All That, yams can find him at the stage! he's sitting on the edge and drawing in his sketchbook, but he glances up with a smile and a wave. ]

Hey, Yams. Hope I'm not getting in the way of rehearsals or something.

[ look. he's trying to focus on happier things than this entire afternoon. ]

[aitou]

[THAT'S SO VALID. It makes Yasusada smile as he approaches--he'll come sit, if Kazu lets him! There's a bandage on his hand, because sometimes you're stupid in trial.]

No, I was looking for you. I just wanted to see how you're doing.

w4, thursday

[dms]

[ kazu's leaving the medbay! very slowly, moving very carefully, but he's bandaged and drugged and alive, for now. he'll give yams a little wave when he sees him. ]

It was getting a little crowded in there. Figured I'd give them some space.

[ there's a little wave of cheer from his emotions, but it fades quickly. ]

[aitou]

[Imagine if Hot Pants is alone again help

NORMIE THOUGH PLEASE. He won't argue, but he'll hurry over to support him.]

Come on, I'll help you get back. [He can carry Kazu or just put Kazu's arm around his shoulders to help him walk, whatever Kazu prefers--he's assuming Kazu is heading for the apartments.]

w4, sunday

[aitou]

[Well presumably Kazu was making sure Kumon's okay and Yasusada had to go use the healing pods, but here they are now, after all of that. Unfortunately, the pods don't cure depression, so, the vibes are still very somber and depressed. Alas.

He's not averse to talking, though; he'll nod when he sees Kazu, and approach him.]

Kazu. [How's the boy]

[dms]

Hey, Yams. Feeling any better? Those burns looked pretty bad.

[ his own emotions are a thin layer of calm over the homesickness and mourning, but still he manages a smile for yams. ]

w5, sunday

[aitou]

[beats up ara and jan in here too even though they can't see it

BUT HERE WE ARE, after all of that. Yasusada's retreated to the greenhouse for now; the color has faded from his hands, and only his hair is reflective of the night sky now. His bandages are fresh, and he clearly hasn't been in the pods yet, but his injuries aren't nearly as bad as GETTING POISONED VIA BUTTERFLY AND KISSES so they can wait until later tonight.

He looks over when he notices Kazu from where he's watering the flowers; Kazu can have a small smile, even though it's clearly still very tired.]

Do you want to help?

[dms]

[ mood we are all tired in this chilis. kazu's still got cat ears, a tail, and a deep green paint flowing down his arms and dripping onto the ground, but it fades quickly, so at least it won't hurt the plants. ]

Yeah, of course, especially if it'll make it easier on you.

[ sir please get healed. ]

...I might need some direction, though? Gardening isn't really my thing usually.

w6, thursday

[aitou]

[Well very predictably Yasusada is glued to Kashuu tonight but he does have enough brainspace to send a text!!]

did you get healed up

[dms]

For the most part yeah. It's still hard to see but i'll be alright.

w6, saturday

[dms]

[ he's just left the medbay but kazunari isn't looking very happy. even so, he gives yams a little wave. ]

...We didn't even have any leads for Suki, did we?

[ sadge... ]

[aitou]

[WE ARE SADGE AROUND HERE. Yasusada nods at him, looking--well. Understandably very upset!!! But like he's trying to stay focused and calm all the same.]

Even with everything we used... there was nobody. [How. HOW.] I guess we'll know soon enough anyway, but still...

w6, sunday

[dms]

[ not to say he's avoiding the swords because he really just needs to take care of kumon but he's kind of avoiding them. anyway he just has something quick to say. ]

Thank you for making it quick.

[aitou]

[KAZU IS VALID... even though Yasusada's not that broken up about what just happened, he's never liked the way the prism treats death like a spectacle. No one should've been forced to stand and watch them carry out their duty.]

of course

[It wasn't about revenge, or causing suffering, after all. But he thinks that was probably obvious.]

you and kumon take care of yourselves ok?/

w7, friday

[dms]

[ to the dojo! kazu's immediately going for one of the practice swords. ]

Spar with me?

[aitou]

[Dojo it is!!! It doesn't really feel like the time for this, but honestly--there's only so much they can attempt to do tonight, when they're blocked off from the source of all their problems.

So he nods, going for one of them as well. He won't use his real blade on Kazu, obviously.]

...We'll go easy, for now. You need to save your strength.

[For whenever Dreamer inevitably gets tired of whatever he's doing to the residents, and comes for them.]
