[semi-open] how many hugs will be in this log? place your bets

[thesettingsun]

WHO: Shuji Tsushima and all his friends who were out of the city and are back.
WHERE: Recolle, which is 100x safer than wherever everyone else was.
WHEN: February 15th.
WHAT: Shuji has one day to check on everyone he knows and he's not going to waste it.
WARNINGS: Nothing as of yet!

[A: text]
[As soon as Shuji learns that people who had volunteered to leave the city are back for a brief period, he wastes absolutely no time. Everyone he's friends who's back is getting a text, something to the tune of:]

Where are you? Can I come see you today?

[B: somewhere in Recolle]
[But if you don't want to thread that part, and just skip to the inevitability of Shuji getting his friend to agree to meet up - and it is inevitable, he has to make sure they're okay with his own eyes - this is the prompt where Shuji spots your character after arranging a meeting and rushes up to them.]

Welcome back!

[He looks like he could hug them at any second. This is probably only a little due to his heartstone's influence.]

[closed to Oda]
[Of course, he'd promised Oda curry, so his lunch date is Odasaku for sure. He's all smiles when he meets Oda outside a really, really nice curry place.]

Welcome home, Odasaku. I hope this place is okay?

[It's probably one of the more expensive places to get curry in Recolle, but sure, ask if it's 'okay'.]

[wildcard]
[You know me, I'm easy. Hit me at Misheard for anything else.]

Comments

[manufactured]

We did, yes.

[I mean, he's not even going to deny that one.]

[thesettingsun]

[Wise decision.]

...About your health, though. I know fussing too much isn't going to make either of us happy and I'm not going to interrogate you this time [thank god for that] but is there anything practical I should know? Emergency procedures if you get hurt, or 'don't worry if I start glowing in the dark that just happens now', things like that?

[manufactured]

You actually have less to worry about now than you did before. The situation has escalated, but it turns out to have been in a way that may be to my advantage.

It's not something that I expect sounds like it makes sense. But you don't have to worry about me bein injured, at least.

[thesettingsun]

...So when I asked if it was one of those viruses where most of the time you die but the rest of the time you get cool superpowers...

[manufactured]

Exactly.

[thesettingsun]

I honestly don't remember if I was joking at the time.

[What has their life become.]

[manufactured]

I'm still not sure if I should be surprised at this entire business myself.

[thesettingsun]

At this point I'm not sure what it would take to really shock me. ...But if I say there's nothing that would surprise me, something surprising will instantly happen, that's just how narrative casualty works.

[Not risking it.]
