I Will Go My Way

Who: [AU] Repliku and you~
When: August 1st -> the whole month
Where: Dream Width (Aug 1st only), Arito library
What: Takeshi finds a thing and gets to work.
Warnings/Notes: None yet.

I. An Innocent Item Retrieval... (Dream Width, 8/1) (locked to Futaba Sakura and Takashi Shirogane)

[Takeshi didn't get notifications that they found something of his. It just didn't happen after the blade that now is always strapped to his forearm, hidden under his sleeve. He went nearly three full months without so much as a peep of something showing up.

He couldn't help but wonder what did. It's not that he owned much in his life. The houses he'd lived in were loans to lodge the displaced that were free of chargedue to what they as Heroes were supposed to do. The bed, the furnishings, even the appliances weren't really his. He had maybe four different items that he deemed worth missing: a red crystalline heart that he'd received his first Starlight there, two snowmen dolls, and a good luck charm his mother had given him. He couldn't think of anything else off the top of his head.]


Wonder what it could be. [He mutters to the two he asked to come with him. Mostly because he knows his tendencies to go down memory lane. One already had a small taste of the shit he'd been through, and the other was aware there was some he carried on his shoulders.] Didn't exactly have much.

II. Back to the Books (Curti Center; 8/2, onward)
[It isn't long after they land again that Takeshi books it to the libraries with the intel he received, leaving a brief message on the network after closing the room to the private study room in the far back.]

Of all the things to get back...

[He mutters, going through the pages again and again. If he closes his eyes, he can still see the faces of those mentioned within. But, he's no artist. He doesn't stand a chance of getting them more accurate than these stupid bunny sketches.

Time to get to work. He has some time before the airship he'll be taking to Arito arrives. May as well use it.

If anyone pokes in, they might catch a glimpse of him going to check a few shelves with a handful of pages and a notebook, heading back to the same study room with a book or two.]


III. What's Taking Breaks? (Arito; 8/3, onward)

[There was one problem that he inherited from the creator he barely remembers beyond a few glimpses, it was his inability to put down a project until it was done. As it is, it's likely very obvious that he's lost in the papers he's writing on, glimpsing at the pages next to him and the childish sketches once in a while as he worked.

An hour passes, and soon, two. He barely moves save to flick a wrist when it starts to get stiff and the scratches on the paper. Three hours...

Someone remind him that he needs to eat.]


IV. Work Called... (Yun'Ashia; 8/12, onward)

[The absolute worst thing (in Takeshi's mind) is standing still in one place. He never was good at it, especially when his mind is elsewhere. When the owners called, saying he'd been given enough time to "visit with the newcomers at the Center", he went back.

Which is also probably why the owner of this particular items and weapons shop is likely left surprised one morning to see each and every weapon polished to the point where metal cast a fine reflection, wooden staves and rods shone slightly with their new polish. Perhaps one was simply interested in looking at what this small shop has to offer, and you catch him polishing a particular blade. Or, maybe he's staring out the window, not really seeming to see anything until approached.]


Can I help you with something?

[He'd apologize, but his mind might just be elsewhere. Not only on the papers he left in his pack by his feet behind the counter, but needing to find a place to stay. The new recruits would be fine if he transferred elsewhere, he's sure of it.]

V. Wildcard
[ooc: Need to poke Takeshi, the Replica formerly known as Ira for something other than what's listed? Feel free!]

[ ... Huh.

Finn noticed something pass between them and decided to tread a little lighter from now on, assuming the thing had some personal significance to him. ]


Of course. Could you use any help?

[ Finn nods and lets it go. ]

I wish you luck, then. And I will let you know. Did you check at the Great McGard Library to the south, yet?
