Heaven, Help Us Now; Come Crashing Down
WHO: Orion and OPEN! +1 closed to Fai.
WHERE: Shops/Jobs/Around Recolle (prompts within)
WHEN: 7/13 - 7/18
WHAT: Regain swap gave Orion cat ears; he's not pleased.
WARNINGS: Mentions of Schizophrenia (marked); Swearing; General aggression. Will update as needed.
[ 1. APARTMENT - CLOSED TO FAI ]
Orion had woken up that morning, feeling groggy as usual. He tumbles over a few piles of dissaray between trash, clothes, and other miscellanious items as he makes his way to the restroom. He'd slept in his clothes from the day before, and doesn't look at the mirror as he passes by it to use the toilet. It isn't until he's washed his hands and face, moving to brush his teeth, that he notices two black protrusions from his white hair.
Orion blinks groggily. What the fuck are those? They twitch and Orion's eyes widen as he tries to grasp the situation. He flicks on the light behind him (quickly wishing he hadn't since he hasn't adjusted to being awake yet) to get a better look.
"GAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!" Orion yells as he shoves himself back from the sink - mostly from surprise, but with a hint of rage.
Are those fucking cat ears?!? WHAT THE HELL!
[ 2. SHOPS ]
Grocery shopping has never been Orion's favourite thing. But having to do it with implanted cat ears? Someone kill him, please. Put him out of his misery. He keeps his eyes mostly on the ground, to avoid eye-contact with people and to try to ignore their conversations about it. Some people find it cute, others find it creepy that a man would "wear" cat ears in public like this.
If only it was a stupid cosplay. As it is, he has to fight to keep them from twitching and flicking at the different sounds. He grits his teeth to himself as he picks up the eggs and places them in his basket before quickly moving on. The sooner he's done, the sooner he can go home.
Except he isn't quite watching where he's going as he tries to quickly duck into another aisle and he crashes into you. The force of which causes him to actually lose his balance and he falls backward onto his behind. The cat ears are laid back flat against his head as he grits his teeth.
"Fuck." There goes the eggs. He hasn't bothered to look over at you to see if you're alright yet.

This week, he's cashiering at a clothing shop.
He's doing his best to play his ears off as nothing and has shot a few glares at his higher ups to take the ears off - this is a professional environment! Which doesn't help him, because it makes his ears twitch and move accordingly.
These things are so damn stupid. Why in the Hell does he have them?
Before long of the glares though, they do realise that they are... unfortunately... attached. And since Orion needs the money, he's not going home. Maybe this shit would have been more appropriate at Hot Topic or something. But he doesn't work in a place like that. So, his ears will visibly stand out to customers. He has to fight not to shoot an annoyed look at every person who brings them up; children are especially popular for it.
He can be found around the store, hanging clothes on the racks, changing the displays, or checking you out at the cash register. And if you're looking at his ears, expect him to lay them back as he narrows his eyes.

This is ridiculous. Absolutely fucking ridiculous. Having these ears apparently wasn't bad enough. But hearing a subtle vocal nudge to find someone named NEFERTI, persistently, is causing him to twitch more than a little uncomfortably. How does he make this stop? NOW, preferably. Hell, when he first woke up to this, it would have been a great time to stop. But none of the grounding techniques are working.
Ultimately, he's decided to try and hunt down this Neferti.
[A] Since trying to ignore it does literally nothing. From time to time, he can be found huddling in a corner, with his back to a wall or a tree. He does not look alright in the slightest in these moments, clearly rattled by something. Feel free to check in on him and see if he needs help in these states, or sideeye him entirely.
[B] Other times, he can be found scrambling around in a hurry. He spots you and quickly heads your direction, grabbing you by the collar of your shirt.
"Are you Neferti?" he demands. Are you going to help him or rip him a new one for aggressively grabbing you?

But that thought doesn't even get the opportunity to become coherent as he notices the branch Yato is standing on, and Orion's fearful eyes narrow.
Since when did his hallucinations begin to appear human?
He's uncomfortable, and he really doesn't like this. His eyes never leave Yato.
"Great, just what I needed, an hallucination checking on me." He says it purposefully with spite, but his voice sounds uneven, as if calling it out for what it is can do anything to make him feel better.
Still, though, he uncomfortably scoots over to the side of the tree. Just in case that branch falls, or hallucination-Yato shits like a bird, or something equally stupid.

Yato likes his spot in the tree just fine, so he doesn't descend to sit with Orion. He'll sit right in place with a light rustle of leaves, the branch none too bothered by his movement. He recognizes Orion now as that guy who showed up at his party. What's more, he recognizes that set of ears that wasn't on Orion before.
"Growing ears now? You related to that Cleo girl?"
no subject
Still, if someone else has cat ears, does that mean they can help?
"Who's Cleo?"
Why is he asking an hallucination for help? Oh, well. It can't be worse than nothing, can it?
"While you're up there, do you know who Neferti is?" Might as well try.
