WHO: Daisuke Niwa + you
WHERE: Various locations in the city
WHEN: Throughout November
WHAT: He's practicing parkour everywhere in the city. Come laugh at him when he makes a mistake. His hair is also white from the 16th and onwards.
WARNINGS: None for now


I - All across the city

[ A. In order to test his skills, he decided that he needed a bigger practice environment. What better than the entire city? Though, he doesn't want to cause too much trouble to the general public, so he's been jumping from roof to roof on lower buildings of small shops. Though this is useful for the Ninja Warrior event that's coming up, he's still practicing like this after the event. Maybe he's driven by something?

Anyway, he makes a misstep over one of his jumps and he ends up falling a little short, so he falls from a great height... only for him to tumble his way back to his feet half the time. The other half of the time, he might just land on you by accident. Oops. It doesn't change the fact that he fell off from a low building though.

B. Though if you spot him after the 16th, the only difference from prompt A is that he's wearing a white cap over his head because his hair is white.

C. (pre-16th) He's also seen practicing from his balcony since he lives on the second floor, jumping off the guardrail and onto the tree. Back and forth. Neighbors are free to yell at him about how dangerous this is. ]


II - Recolle High after the 16th

[ As much as he would have liked to hide his hair under his cap again, he's not allowed to wear them inside the school. He's been the end of jokes and small concern alike from the few NPCs that approach him, but it all comes down to the same thing: "Have you been stressed lately?" in which the answer is yes in his mind, but he answers no because that's just how he is.

When he sees you in school, he tries to pretend like there's nothing wrong and just greets you normally. Ignoring that his hair is white while his black eyes stayed the same has been quite something. He also looks pretty tired, being a little more prone to spacing out in the middle of class or whatever else he's doing like eating his lunch or in the middle of drawing in art club.

Splash water on his face? Y/N ]


III - WILDCARD

[ Hit me up with a different prompt! ]

[promisedyou]

[ Mio's not the type of person that's going to splash water on his face if he's spacing out. In fact, this is her chance to doodle - or attempt to - there instead, a little swirly on his cheeks if she's allowed to. ]

[sketchythief]

[ It takes a moment, but after he feels the tip of the marker on his cheek, his eyes refocus and he nearly jumps back. Oh, it's just... Mio... trying to draw on his face...

... But why though. After the shock has worn off, he just looks at her like for what purpose. ]

What were you trying to draw on my face...?

[ He needs a mirror now. ]

[promisedyou]

That's a secret. ☆

[ She pulls the marker away and pockets it, still wearing that shit eating grin. ]

I mean, I did want to draw a mustache to make you look as old as your hair, but you weren't facing the right direction for that.

[sketchythief]

I'm not that old though...

[ oh my god mio let him live

He rubs at his cheek though in an attempt to scrub off whatever she drew on there. ]

The white hair is probably from the app thing... I dunno. I don't really want to think about that right now.

[promisedyou]

But then that means your soul is old. An old man, maybe! You might even get a beard and mustache soon...

[ It seems that she's making fun of him. Which means, no, she's not letting him live. ]

[buncho]

[ Mafuyu isn't the sort of person who'd splash water on his face either. It's an entire bucket of water that she upends over his head, dousing him and the ground all around him when she finds him nodding off outside during lunch break. ]

If you're going to sleep, go home and sleep!

[sketchythief]

[ He almost screams when the water is dumped on him. It's suddenly super cold and all of his clothes are soaked, which doesn't help at all. rip daisuke. He almost looks unrecognizable because of his wet hair because it's usually spiked. And the fact that his hair is white... Anyway.

That definitely makes him snap out of it. ]

I wasn't going to sleep!

[ He would have yelled louder, but all this feels so draining already. ]

[buncho]

[ It's super cold, and it's not entirely clean water either, smelling a little like vegetable or dirt, but isn't especially muddy. He didn't mention it to her when her hair turned up silver one day, but Mafuyu doesn't extend the same courtesy. ]

Looked like you were already there, gramps! Anyways, if you're zoning out, the best way to shake it off is to get your blood moving.

[ She sets the bucket on top of his head to balance and lets go, for Daisuke to either let fall or grab hold of it. ]

Come on, you can help me fill up this bucket again.

[sketchythief]

[ He feels like he needs a shower soon... Daisuke tilts his head to let the bucket fall into his hands in the front. The water is cold, the outside is cold, his clothes are cold... he's cold.

He shakes his head once to get his hair out of his eyes. ]

I'm not that old! What do you need a bucketful of water for anyway...

i-a

[unenvied]

[BYE, BRUNO'S DEAD.




Which is to say that yeah, he found himself as an impromptu cushion and is kind of just lying on the ground now.]

[sketchythief]

[ He sure did just land on someone just now. It still hurts, but the person below him must be hurting even more, right?

When Daisuke snaps out of it, he immediately gets off Bruno and looks so alarmed. ]

Bruno?! Are you o-- [ No, that's a dumb question. Rewind. ] ... Are you hurt anywhere?! I'm so sorry about that...

[unenvied]

[STRUGGLING TO SIT UP...]

I... I am fine, I think... What about you?

[sketchythief]

I-I'm fine... [ Thanks to Bruno's bony cushion. Daisuke reaches his hands over to his to help him up.

... Actually. ]

Do you want me to carry you?

i-a

[sharplydressed]

[i can't believe daisuke is murdering people across the city--

EXCEPT NO Kashuu manages to escape a being-used-as-a-landing-pad fate thanks to his stupid reflexes, which are getting better by the day! As it stands, he almost gets whomped, but manages to turn toward the source of the sound of rustling fabric just in time to... hold his arms out, catching Daisuke majestically complete with a little spin (as he tries to keep his balance and not die.)

Give him a second.]

...Okay, what? What.

[What just happened??]

[sketchythief]

[ Yeah, seriously. Just what happened here... Daisuke felt himself falling and then suddenly he's caught and spun around when he shut his eyes for a moment. ]

Wh... Kashuu?

[ He looks so confused after he opens his eyes. ]

Did you... catch me? [ Obviously, yes, but his tone suggests that he can't process what happened just yet. ]

[sharplydressed]

[THAT MAKES TWO OF THEM. Kashuu seems just as baffled, staring down at Daisuke with all the bafflement of someone who has no idea how they ended up in a situation.]

...Hi, I think? [Also, arguably more important:] Are you okay? Where did you even come from, seriously?

[He'll put Daisuke down soon, but first he's got to make sure that tumbling out from an apparent void in the sky or something didn't ruffle him too badly.]

[sketchythief]

[ That's fine, since he just feels like a limp rag doll right now in Kashuu's hold. The fall scared him, but confusion took over his primary emotions. ]

I, uh... fell off the building. I was practicing my jumps, but I misjudged the distance...

[ Because all the buildings shifting nowadays. ]

I-B

[maskreant]

[ Akira is minding his own business, not participating in the ninja event that's being hosted in Recolle. This is an alley path he usually takes, but he hears something heavy on the rooftops. That's weird. That's strange? He pauses in his gait to look up, tilting his head curiously before his eyes widen at the blob that falls—it's okay.

This is fine. Akira catches him, though with some struggles at first. He isn't exactly bara, y'know? ]

Are you all right?

[sketchythief]

[ After expecting himself to fall flat on the ground, being caught by someone is a welcome change even if someone is carrying him. That thought doesn't register in his brain yet. However, the embarrassment sinks in shortly after because he didn't want to trouble anyone, but here he is... troubling someone. ]

Ah, um... yeah...

[ And with a quieter voice: ]

Sorry... and thanks.

[maskreant]

It's no problem, but you should be careful.

[ Akira isn't going to lecture Daisuke about how he could splat onto the ground and probably break a couple of bones, but he does look a little concerned...

Though curious. What's with the cap? He spots some strands with his sharp eyes and— ]

I'm guessing Retrospec changed your hair color?

[sketchythief]

[ He's about to say something about being careful, but then Akira points out his hair. His hand goes to his head immediately--oh, the cap is still there. There's a small sheepish smile on his face. ]

Y-Yeah... something like that.

[ No, it's exactly that. But he's very thankful that Akira didn't start this discussion about Daisuke being an old man, because school has been full of it.

Yup, it's enough to forget that he's being carried. ]

It attracts a lot of attention, so...

i-b

[optimistical]

[ ... naegi should have known that taking a new path home would have been risky since something was bound to happen with his luck. as he was walking through the alleyway, something just told him to look up and by sheer chance (whatcha know), he notices daisuke falling from the building. ]

[ ... straight down towards him ]

A-Ahh--!!

[ he immediately reaches out with his arms upwards to catch daisuke but the thing is... naegi isn't the shsl wrestler or shsl gang leader. he's just 160cm of scrawniness so all that really happens is less catching and more falling to the floor and Dying. sorry daisuke, he tried his best ]

[sketchythief]

[ They both fall. It hurts. Daisuke's in slight pain right now, but it's better than when he falls by himself. thanks bro

But he realizes that he just fell on someone, so he's quick to get off the person and he sees that it's... Naegi.... oh no. ]

Oh my god... Makoto! Makoto!!

[ He shakes him by the shoulders a little. SPEAK TO MEEEEEeeeee ]

[optimistical]

[ naegi is flat on his back and oh my god... everything hurts. he's starting to see stars. DEATH IS NOT A HUNTER UNBEKNOWNST TO ITS PREY......... ]

D... Daisuke?

[ he doesn't open his eyes just yet because let him reboot... ]

[sketchythief]

[ i like how that icon fits this exact situation right now

Daisuke feels relieved that he hears something from Naegi. It means he isn't knocked unconscious. ... He considers sending him to the hospital or a clinic, but their medical bills. This is why he's trying to pick up medical tips from Kyouko so that they can pay less for their own bad luck inducing injuries. ]

I'm... I'm here.

[ He does feel bad though. He really shouldn't have missed the extra step. ]

Where does it hurt...?
