this is definitely not dome town
[ Akira's curiosity is unfortunately piqued by the sudden darkness, but what kind of person wouldn't find this strange and unsettling? There's a saying that curiosity kills the cat and that may very well be the case right now. He nicked the dome with his dagger and took a nasty shock... If only Yoshitsune or Kohryu was equipped, then he could have been saved.where's my cat bus?
You may find him passed out in the cold by the edge. Rest in peace, Akira. ]
[ The subway isn't foreign to Akira, but it's surprising how long Recolle has gone without it... But America was a bit behind when it comes to public transportation aside from some small yet impacted places. You may find him snooping around the ENTRANCE (A), fiddling with his bangs as he does so (is this suspicious), before heading him by himself. On other days, he may go with other people.wildcard
If you decide to join him and they get far enough, Akira points out an abandoned SUBWAY CAR (B) in the distance. Which car will they find?CAR 1 — He thinks it's worth investigating, looking through these personal belongings with no issues. Don't mind if he tries on some hats from the old era.
CAR 2 — He lies down on a bed and rates it on a 10-point scale. Eight times out of ten, he will ask your character to try it.
CAR 3 — He's suspicious of the food and doesn't plan on eating anything (yet), but he pitches that maybe your character should try some. For science.
CAR 4 — Oh, boy. Here are some choices to watch from Akira, though he doesn't... Seem comfortable if either of the last two play. If you would like a different memory, go ahead and pick from his regain list.MEMORIES
BIG BANG BURGER (VIDEO)🍔
Akira Kurusu decides to head to Big Bang Burger and take on their cosmic challenge.LOST THE GAME (1:26:56-1:29:00)🚪
Akira is brought to the velvet room and sentenced to death for losing the game. He's left to his twin executioners.FRAMED (QUICK SCENE, VIDEO)🔒
Akira intervenes what seems to be a quarrel between a drunkard and a woman. The man falls on his own and threatens to sue him.CODE BY TESSISAMESS CAR 5 — While it may seem better to book it, Akira decides to practice his skills on the skeleton car. Catch him by chance showing off... He's the type to climb on the car, scale its limbs, and be in the middle of danger. If you were with him since the beginning of the descent into this craziness, it doesn't change how reckless he is. With one slip, he may be crushed—a metal arm finally smacks him several feet back.
This is fine. He stays in the crater he made for himself, discerning what exactly happened. There's no groan or sign of fatigue in his movements as he picks himself up, but the car is preparing its charge.
When they reach the HUB (C), you're right to assume he's going to take pictures of everything... Including a selfie that they've found something. Hooray! High spirits. Keep up the morale. After the fun is through, he mentions how surprising it is to have this system. ]
[ you do you ]
no subject
Yeah, what is it?
[ He's doing this best to separate himself from the memory. It wasn't him in that cell, after all. He has a lot of mixed feelings about it, but it's better not to think about it. It's fine. ]
no subject
[ He's uncharacteristically lost for words, but the whiteness of his skin may fill in his silent question.
You can't be dead. ]
no subject
Yu, no. ]
I somehow survive the execution. Don't worry.
[ Doesn't make him any less anxious and resentful, but he doesn't let it show on his face. ]
no subject
... why? [ He glances at the screen again, still a little at a loss. ] Do you remember what happened?
no subject
[ He was hoping Yu would get to see his cooler memories or something... Maybe even the silly ones like with Futaba or his friends. Instead, it had to be nonsensical and unsettling. He rubs his neck nervously as he looks back to the screen. ]
And he didn't intend on dying there, anyway. [ He pats his friend's shoulder, hoping to reassure him. ] Why are you looking so glum?
no subject
He glances at his friend when Akira pats him on the shoulder, and for a moment seems lost for words. ]
It's ... it's nothing.
[ Again he looks away, at the screen. Softly: ]
I believe in you. You'll be fine.
no subject
[ He grows quiet, too, eyes drawn back to the screen that flickers on and off with a short crackle. His other hand reaches for a tambourine, shaking it once as if it'll take the edge off.
It doesn't. It doesn't even help his thoughts stray away. ]
Hey, have you ever thought your other self is so cool? And that you'll never be like them...
[ ... ]
I guess not—I did see you eat grass a couple of minutes ago.
