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 been a busy few weeks for Ryoma between his arrival, getting kidnapped and the festival not long after that. Still, he'd managed to earn a bit of starling before the kidnapping fiasco, and he was more than aware of what day it was, so he'd already gotten a gift for him. The only thing about it is that he wasn't sure what plans Kokichi might have in mind for his birthday, so he'd gone about his normal routine for the morning including his normal run and a few warm-up exercises first.

He wasn't really expecting to see Kokichi sitting by himself at the park his run passes, but he wasn't going to turn down a chance to check on him either, so he slowed down as he neared. ]

Hey birthday boy. What brings you out here this morning?

[curuiosity]

[What a coincidence, Rui had been taking a break from his Kokichi hunt to eat at a cafe. When he saw him and his spirit, he grabbed the purple gift box that he had been lugging around all morning, and made his way to catch up to them. He ended up catching a bit of their conversation.]

There are surely plenty of fun things around depending on your definition. I've been wandering around for quite a bit looking for you, so I may be able to suggest something if you want?

[ Kaito's been having a pretty weird day, but all in all, he thinks he's rolling with the punches! Honestly, if this is the afterlife, it's looking pretty sweet so far. The streets are clean, the sky is clear, the locals are exceedingly nice... what's not to love?

Maybe he should be a bit more confused, ask a couple more questions... but really, after all he's been through, he could use a breather. Literally. He takes a deep breath, taking in the fresh air, grateful as it doesn't catch in his throat.

He remembers blood, and the stars, and tightness, constricting his throat, from the inside out, burning -

He's pulled out of his reverie as a loaf-shaped dog runs up to his side, catching his attention as it bumps into his leg. This place really does have the strangest touches, doesn't it? But he's a cute little fella, so Kaito doesn't hesitate to crouch down and give him a few pats on the head. ]

Hey there, little guy. Whatcha up t-

[ He's rendered speechless as a familiar pair of shoes enter his vision. ]

-oooooooo-

[ His gaze travels upwards, and suddenly he's face to face with the one and only Kokichi Ouma, Ulimate Supreme Leader.

First he feels shock. Then dread. Then... relief? And then rage. Most of his feelings fly by too fast for him to recognize their source, but he clings onto that last one, knowing where it comes from, at least. He didn't have much time to be mad before, but now? Now????? ]

- YOU! You motherfucker!
