Round 1

[boxingemperor]

Who: Akihiko Sanada, friends, and you!
Where: Dormitory, perhaps eventually around the city. Backdated before the Coming of Age event.
Summary: Akihiko gets reacquainted with a semi-normal life, a new body,...and maybe some real food.
Warnings: Language?


After a few days cooped up in the hospital, Akihiko was finally released under the promise that he would return regularly for a checkup. Compared the many checkups he'd had six months prior, he was more than happy to oblige. (Hopefully Hinoto-Ri's hospital wouldn't send out people to drag him back there for them.)

He steps outside of the dormitory, idly touching at his neck and taking a deep breath. It's nice to be outdoors. He can't wait to start running again! Maybe he could try jogging to start? Or-maybe not yet. He loses his footing for a moment, but swiftly grabs the railing of the staircase.

"Ha! No harm done. I wonder if there's a ramen place nearby."

Comments

[boxingemperor]

Oh good, her running partner saw him. He always wanted to apologize to her... "You're the Demi-Fiend, right?" He was friends with her male counterpart who was also a resident of the tower. (It was probably the shirt that made him not realize things right away, oddly enough.)

[demifemme]

Shura blinked. "Yes, that's me." He knew her. So... "Are you... from the tower?"

[boxingemperor]

Oh, she remembers him! And probably in a not-so-flattering way. He smooths his hand over his hair nervously. "Y-yeah, that was me. I said some weird stuff when we met, but then my eye, because of my friend, and..." He shakes it off. Get it together Akihiko. "I didn't mean those things I said. The tower put these music players all over the place when you were there, and they made us act like idiots."

[demifemme]

Was it a good time Shura had no recollection of the things he said? "It's okay, I... back then I was in a really bad place mentally. I was grateful to have found someone to help me even if I was probably a liability. So... thanks."

Sarah glances between the two of them and asks a question.

"Shura, care to introduce me?"

[demifemme]

"Oh! Right, right. Uhm, Akihito, right? This is my friend, Sarah. Sarah, Akihito helped me out after I died in a strange tower-world."

[boxingemperor]

"Akihiko, actually." He corrects, but offers a smile. "Just trying to help out. I wouldn't wish that place on my enemies..." Fun fact: some of them actually were there.

[dontrunawayfromliving]

"...I will ask about that 'died' thing later."

With that, Sarah extends her left hand, which has a bulky red bracelet on it.

"Pleasure to meet you."

[demifemme]

"It's a story I remember just enough of to be traumatized for life, honestly..."

[boxingemperor]

"It's good that all of you were only there briefly." Akihiko feels apologetic. The tower isn't exactly visitor friendly...or safe in the least bit.

[demifemme]

"I think you'll find this place more... okay." Yeah, that's it.
