Kokichi Open and Closed Log

[violetlies]

[i: in which loafy is far too honest, again (closed to luminarian/Kaito)]
[Kokichi has continued to take things one day at a time. It's not easy. At all. Not when he's never let himself process anything - he doesn't cry, he doesn't falter, he just keeps moving forward and never looking b back, because he's the Ultimate Supreme Leader. He doesn't have time to look back, and he's been making good progress.

Loafy, of course, has been beside him every step of the way. So has Ryoma, but Ryoma's busy at the moment - so it's just Kokichi and Loafy. The small bread dog has been his trusty companion ever since Kokichi took it upon himself to rescue the formerly-rampaging spirit, and he hasn't regretted it since. Loafy pads along beside him, humming to himself before the bread dog seems to get distracted for a moment.

Kokichi, for his part, isn't aware. He has groceries and he's taking them home, taking the scenic route so Loafy can get a good walk in. It's just then when Loafy darts off ahead, leaving Kokichi stunned.]

Hey--! Why're you--?!

[Loafy has padded up to a person he caught eyes of, mostly because he recognizes the jacket. "You! We've been looking for you, Kaito!" The bread-dog also talks. "Shishou has missed you! He won't tell you but he missed you so much!"

Kokichi eventually catches up, and--he nearly drops his groceries. Oh. Shit.

"Look, Shishou! He's finally here!"

There's a million things Kokichi wants to say, but he isn't sure how to put them right now. So what comes out is...]

...Hey there, Dumby. Y'look lost. Want some help~?


[ii: in which kokichi is another year older, but not wiser]
[On the morning of his birthday, Kokichi doesn't expect much. Mostly because he doesn't imagine anyone to care too too much. There's Ryoma - obviously - but is there really anyone else? ...Chron, maybe. The Kami of Love? Possibly. Velda and Rui, maybe. But it's just another year on his shoulders. Another year people find hard to believe, considering his appearance.

He's gone and gotten himself a personal piece of chocolate cake, and he's now sitting in the park, eating it with Loafy sitting next to him.

"Is this how birthday parties normally go, Shishou?"]

Not quite. Buuuuuuuut we're not in a normal location, so. Eh.


[iii: in which kokichi desires fun]
[In all honesty, Kokichi hadn't looked for fun places much. Everything had been so...everything in Starsand that he just never had the idea to. But now things've calmed a bit, so he's going down streets he hasn't before, looking for new places to find new entertainment. Loafy is doing the same, though he was distracted by a café earlier - unsurprisingly, they were NOT looking for picnic food that day.

Well. Kokichi wasn't, at least.

Loafy padded on ahead, opening his mouth in a big yawn. "What do you even wanna see, Shishou?"]

Dunno. Something fun. We'll see it when we see it. Maybe other people have suggestions.

["A picnic would be good!" Loafy exclaimed. Kokichi smiled patiently.]

Yeah. I know. You want what you want. Let's see if there's anything else first.

[ It's a good look on him, Kaito thinks - one he could get used to. ]

I know. Even guys like you have to like the Ultimate Astronaut.

[ He turns away and heads down the hall, lifting his arms up and resting his hands on the back of his head. It's a carefree stance - and even if it doesn't reflect all of his emotions, it reflects the ones he's feeling right now. It feels like a weight's been lifted off of his shoulders, even if there are still about ten more still dragging him down.

For now, he walks a little lighter. And tomorrow, maybe he'll walk with a spring in his step, too. ]
