[OPEN] I’d feel like I’m not alone for the first time
WHO: Tatsuma Hiyuu and you!
WHERE: All over Recollé
WHEN: All month prior to Christmas Eve
WHAT: Catch all for the month! Spending time with friends and grandparents, doing charity chores, getting caught by mistletoe bats and - maybe even meeting someone new!
WARNINGS: None for now
[12/5 - Out and about]
[Tatsuma’s on a mission today.
With a ticket in hand, he approaches the tree, looking over the various packages until he locates his own. It doesn’t take long to tear it open, revealing...
A toy? He’s clearly pretty puzzled as he takes it out, examining it from all sides. The poor thing has definitely gone through something, that’s for sure; not only is it covered in dust and grime, but there’s evidence of dents that have been since buffed out, even if there’s still creases and warping in the material that couldn’t be fully repaired. ]
It really is...
[...Well, about what it had been described as. It definitely looks like something he’d get, that’s for sure. But he hasn’t seen it in any of his memories up until now, so...
Just where did this come from?]
[Mistletoe Bats]
[He’d spotted them as they flapped about - they’re hard to miss, honestly. But in his curiosity, he actually pauses to allow them to come close, peering up at then instead of taking the opportunity to flee.
It’s because of this that he ends up with a little mistletoe bat companion, flapping right over his head even as he continues to walk. It’s... not going to leave him alone, is it?
Currently, he’s debating making a fine use of his powers to sprint away. But maybe someone else can save him from this sad fate first?]
[Family and Friends]
[With the weather as cold as it is, anyone who comes by to visit Tatsuma may well find themselves invited inside by his grandmother. It’s so cold out these days, they’d best come inside and get warm - oh, and there’s apple cider and fresh pie, so help yourselves!
Tatsuma’s cheerful enough, his expression only dropping to one of annoyance when his grandmother parts with a teasing “Hii-chan,” because of course she can’t let her grandson have his friends over without poking fun at him.]
Ta-tsu-ma. Not Hii-chan. [Hmph!]
[That said... Starting on the 18th onward, any visitors may notice that his gaze lingers for a bit on his grandmother as she excuses herself from the room for the moment. There’s a slight, very slight frown before he turns back to the guest.
Whatever it is... Maybe it’s just his imagination.]
[Charity Chores]
>[A. Souji]
[It’s inevitable that the pair would sign up to work on chores together. The list itself seemed mostly harmless in Tatsuma’s opinion (if perhaps not in the eyes of whichever poor soul they settled on for a caroling victim). Although, of the list, the most suspect option was most definitely...]
Red and Green Chili Pepper Eating Challenge...?
[It’s been a sad discovery, finding that he could no longer taste his most favorite foods. However, little does he know, the lack of taste is not going to save him from the fate that awaits them.
There’s already a line ahead of them. They don’t have long before they’re called up, and Tatsuma watches the other competitors blithely. It couldn’t be that spicy... right?]
>[B. Jack]
[Tatsuma’s never met Jack before, but he’s sure that their charity work will go off without a hitch. Not so much because he expects it to be easy, but more because - it’s charity work. Everyone who’s signed up for such a thing must want to help, and all of the charity work assigned must be things that a general crowd could accomplish, right?
But then they get their assignments and he finds himself staring at that very first line, the echoes of his grandmother’s scolding in his head. Uh...]
Are you... good at baking?
[Please, please, please be better than him.]

let’s do this
Do you want to sit out?
[ he thinks it should be okay if just one of them competes, right? ]
AW YEAH
[He smiles, as usual.]
I'll be okay. It's only fair if we both go, right?
[...He may also be underestimating the strength of the spices here.]
no subject
[ he places a hand on tatsuma's shoulder, squeezing it and when they're called up to do their part, he'll walk them together so they can sit down next to one another. there's already a plate full of chilli peppers laid out in front of them. ]
Are you ready?
no subject
Ready.
[How bad could it be?
The contest overseer continues to hype up the audience before turning to the contestants. He hopes they're ready to bring on the pain! On the count of three...]
no subject
[ souji doesn't even hesitate as he immediately grabs the peppers in front of him, taking large bites as he tries to finish as many as he possibly can. at first, he thinks he's doing okay and wonders what all the fuss is about. he doesn't feel the burn at all so this is going to be a piece of cake. nothing to worry about, that grand prize is going to be his! but then, oh god, but then... it creeps up on him. his entire mouth suddenly feels like it's on fire and every breath he takes is like torture. despite drinking expired milk, eating grass, trying out cat food, and consuming every other terrible thing in the world without blinking an eye or stopping, souji narukami actually halts and has to take a break. sweat is running down his face and he feels the tears coming to his eyes. he's not going to call it quits but dear god, this is pure hell. ]
[ with a pepper still in his hand (this damn pepper!), he looks over to tatsuma, trying to see how he's handling it so far. is tatsuma surviving or has he given up? ]
no subject
Suddenly the spice hits, and tears spring into his eyes. He, too, stops, but it's partially because his stomach is revolting against him and-
By the time Souji looks over there's a light thud as Tatsuma's face hits the table. He's eighteen years old and still refuses to drink milk because he doesn't like the taste, he's eaten spicy food before but never really tested his limits, there was no other way this could have really gone.
Tatsuma's out, it's up to you Souji.]
no subject
[ souji immediately goes to shake tatsuma's shoulder, trying to stir him awake. no! don't go! don't leave him alone in this hellish challenge! ]
no subject
S-Souji...
[!!!
He weakly raises a single hand in a thumbs up.]
Avenge me...
no subject
[ ... he manages to win! ]
[ but at what costs? he is barely conscious and even though the crowd is going wild with the announcer loudly proclaiming souji as the winner, he can hardly hear any of that. everything is like a daze, fading in and out and even as he's given the prize for winning (a very long and cute cat plush), he can't even find the energy within himself to celebrate. instead, he just leans against tatsuma ]
We... we did it, Tatsuma...
[ just casually links this here because i thought of this with this thread ]
no subject
Thank... you...
[And back to collapsing on the table. The MC gives a pause before hopping back into character.
Right! Looks like they've had some casualties, so they'll just...
Some helpers arrive onstage to help the boys away. It really does still hurt, but even Tatsuma can't help the real smile making its way onto his still painful lips.]
