WHO: Akira Kurusu
WHERE: Everywhereee
WHEN: 3/9-3/16!!
WHAT: Akira is coping pretty badly, but he's around the city doing sometimes nothing at any time in the day or night. Morrigan, his cat, is also out and about and people can pick him up and call his number for him to show up. Also putting my other toplevels in here. so it's kind of like a catchall.
WARNINGS: Mentions of death?! Some Persona 5 spoilers, might as well.

nothing to do...

[ Of course he lost some time on the weekend to answer some questions from the police for their investigation, then also check up on Minato just to make sure, but he has been wandering around the city after classes and avoiding whatever calls or texts he gets for hours. This goes on for days. Not even home brings him the peace he's looking for, so he only visits to do some quick necessities and have a quick bite purposely when his roommates are asleep or gone.

Otherwise, he can be found lingering around:
sitting on the bench at the park, feeding the pigeons or just staring up at the sky
around pizza port
by the subway station
by the high school
in alleys
by a haunted building
wherever else your character hangs
In the early morning, the middle of the day, or even at night. Sometimes he's rollerblading, but at all times wherever, whenever, his eyes are downcast. Fortunately, he's smart enough to check traffic lights.

There are too many things haunting his mind, replaying over and over... He thought he could handle this since he settled with Ryoji's death easier and faster, but nothing can wipe the imagery of the blood on the floor and the scattered chip bags in the background, the dull sound of the sirens, and the cry for help.

If you catch him on the street, you may witness him fall flat on his face. Miraculously, his glasses fly out of harm's way, but he doesn't budge from the floor and merely splays there like a corpse. It's fine. ]

cat looking for human son!!

[ Morrigan is known for some pretty shady things, but he has a different agenda today. This slick tuxedo cat is skulking Recolle looking for his owner. Akira has been gone far too long in February already, so his random disappearances will not be tolerated.

He can be found investigating Akira's usual spots like the cat cafe and the park, but he will visit the movie theaters and the houses of friends. Unfortunately, whoever brings him home with them thinking they can keep him there will be disappointed. Morrigan has NO PLANS to stay anywhere until Akira is found. This little cat burglar will protest with a lot of meowing and escape somehow, but you can probably catch him again not too far from your place. It won't stop him from trying to leave, though.

However, his collar does divulge his name, an address, and the number to call if found. ]

velvet blues (locked to persona protags and elizabeth)

[ Quite often he can be found in the Velvet Room at random times of the day after classes, whether he's doing his homework or merely lying in his cell bed, staring up at the dark ceiling with a dazed look. Sometimes he's sleeping and other times he's sitting with his knees close to his chest, head in his hands to calm himself down. Thank god for all these Jack Frost dolls in his jail cell.

And everywhere else in the Velvet Room. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[The laughter will die out some. At least it was a sincerely happy laugh, and not malicious.]

Hehe, it sure does.

Cat pancakes it is then. Maybe I will try a cherry blossom one, to suit the season as well.

Did you guys really think I would sleep through all of that?

[ Akira says as he's instinctively clinging onto the body pillow of himself with Morrigan taking up the other side. ]

[!!!!!]

Uh-

[HUSHED VOICE]

S-Sorry Akira!

[ Someone is not sorry. ]

Did the talk of pancakes, or the talk of cats catch your attention the most?

[ He squints at y’all... At least Elliot is being honest, but Yusuke is playing coy. Truly a fox. ]

I was listening in when you guys were making fussing over my past, too.

[ Gently whacks both of them with the body pillow. ]

[Is whacked! Will flinch slightly but nothing too notable.]

For that long? [His cheeks turn a little pink] Oh, that's embarrassing...

Wh-Why didn't you say anything?

I see.

[ Ow. This is domestic abuse!! After a moment, Yusuke leans forward to flick Akira on the forehead. ]

You could have joined in the discussion, or did you have no input?

[ Oh, no. The spotlight has shifted onto him and the body pillow... he flinched from the flick. This is abuse!!!

Also. Yusuke, you may be hot, but not hot enough for Akira to not squint and smack him again with the pillow. ]

I had nothing to add—I only knew people in passing, really. It didn’t bother me or anything.

[ He won’t deny he was a friendless loser. ]

[He's just gonna let you two go at that with the violence, while he stands by]

That's what I thought...

[Not that he's happy about it.]

Was there a reason? Er, I mean, if that's okay to ask. You don't have to answer.

[ This means war. He flicks Akira in the forehead again, and sort of ruffles his hair. ]

And now? I hope you prefer this, because we're not allowing you to escape us.

... Not in particular. It was just easier that way? I moved around a lot—[ AND HE GET FLICKED AGAIN.

He makes a face like those cats do when they don’t like something. It only lasts for a second because his hair is getting ruffled. ]

I definitely prefer this, even if both of you are keeping me hostage.

[He laughs with a smile, clapping his hands together]

Aha, that's right! We'd steal you right back if we had to!

We have yet to demand ransom from an outside sourxe, so I suppose you are stuck here until further notice.

[ Which reminds him: ]

Are you still hungry?

You guys are the best kidnappers I could ever ask for.

[ ... Speaking of food— ]

Yeah. I'll take it to my room.

[ Since he is tired... And might want some alone time. ]

Aww.

[That's sweet!]

And okay! Do you want us to bring it up to you?

[He doesn't normally offer that because even he's not that much of a doormat, but this is special circumstances]

No, I can at least do it myself. Don't worry about it.

[ And Akira isn't the type that wants to be babied and coddled when he's at his lowest... Very different from how he is when he's in a good mood.

Where he just expects everyone to spoil him. ]

Alright. Rest well.

[ There’s only so much coddling he’s willing to do for fear of annoying Akira, really. As long as he’s happy, and a little calmer and has food then that’s a good start. He can rest. ]

[It's just bringing food to a room god guys. But whatever Elliot's not gonna fight it]

Yeah. Just leave it to us. We'll let you know when it's ready.
