[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.]

But it doesn't seem to bother him for long, because he soon returns to the house. Tatsuma, on the other hand, suddenly looks down.]
...I just want to taste strawberries again.
[Sigh. But he'll go ahead and head inside once more, the interior much like an oven in contrast with the chill of the outdoors. Grandpa Katou's already settling down to partake in some desserts himself, and Tatsuma finishes off his slice of pie before returning to his seat.
Did even more desserts appear on the table since they left? It's more likely than you'd think!
Of course, once they're back, it also leaves them open to a barrage of kindly questioning once more. So, Kurt's a friend of Tatsuma's from... high school, was it?]
no subject
Back to the kitchen they go! Time to smell some more desserts and hope it doesn't feel torturous.
At Grandma's question, he laughs nervously.]
Actually, we just bumped into each other a few months ago. And... the rest is history!
no subject
Yeah. [Man, everything smells so great. Why can't he taste any of it. He pokes at another slice of pie, wondering if it's even worth it to try.] Kurt's been really nice.
no subject
I try! [He says with a smile.] But hey, you have a really nice grandson here too. He's super nice and thoughtful! I guess he just attracts friends! [The bunny probably helps.]
no subject
Not Hii-chan.
[--Is the part worth arguing here, apparently. But he soon shoots Kurt an amused grin again.]
Besides, I haven't had that problem since I moved here.
[...Orrr more accurately gotten the app, but. Look. He had a couple friends even before Retrospec, it just happened to work out even better later on.]
no subject
Kurt just looks at Tatsuma with an amused chuckle in response.]
It's okay, Hii-chan. What can I say? Recolle's just... a magical place! You never know what'll happen next! [The poor grandparents will never know how literal he actually is being.]
no subject
It might be tough if we lost another sense, though...
[His grandparents give him another odd look, but mostly brush it off, perhaps assuming it's some sort of inside joke.]
no subject
Ha! [He laughs, to make it sound more like some weird injoke for the grandparents' sake.] Let's hope! Now that would just be... nonsense!
no subject
Well, as long as I can keep doing my art.
[Oh, yes... That was that time over the summer where he struggled with paintings, his grandmother recalls. An art block, wasn't it?]
Mm... something like that.
[It's so hard to do much with color when you don't have blue or green.]
no subject
Right. Now you're back on track! Who knows what kind of rad new art this guy's going to come up with next? [He says, offering Tatsuma a friendly elbow. He doesn't think he's ever even seen his work before, but he may as well sell him up!]
no subject
[Oh yes, grandmother remembers that. They've got enough oils, glaze, and slip to last them a lifetime, she recalls with a laugh.]
no subject
no subject
[But, y'know.]
Painting was the hardest. [Between the skies and the ocean, he was really out of luck there...]
no subject
Man, I can only imagine.
