september catchall | open
WHO: Fai + Everyone
WHERE: Carmen Sandiego's building in Enprise, anywhere else in the city
WHEN: All month
WHAT: Catchall for therapy threads with Fai, general prompts, and anything else we may have planned!
WARNINGS: Probable warning for thought bubbles featuring self-loathing, harmful thoughts, possible mention of substance abuse and self-destructive behavior. Please warn in headers if anything comes up in an individual thread, will update top warning as necessary.
General note: For most therapy appointments, Fai would have texted beforehand to offer to postpone due to the thought bubbles/possible privacy issues. If you'd like to thread that out please let me know!
[A1 - therapy | home]
[For a few of his friends, or in some cases simply people who hadn't seemed to mind the idea, a therapy meeting was set up in Fai's own apartment. This is largely for Fai's convenience because he's still hurting from monster fighting last month; he's functional, but multiple broken ribs mean that everything's just that much more painful, and if he can get away with meeting at home so much the better. His apartment is small but cozy, with bookshelves everywhere stuffed with paperback romance novels and music paraphernalia, and it always seems to smell like he's been baking. Probably because he has. The glass coffee table is covered with miscellaneous baked treats when the appointment time arrives.]
[A2 - therapy | Enprise]
[For everyone else who'd wanted a more neutral meeting place, Carmen Sandiego had graciously offered Fai the use of an office in her building in Enprise. The office is on the first floor, small but comfortable, with a handful of comfy chairs and a table that... is also covered in baked treats. Fai likes to bake, okay? There are also a few bottles of water handy, and Fai is nursing a cup of coffee. For the moment he's settled into one of the comfy chairs with an ice pack tucked against his side, flipping through a paperback book until his next appointment arrives.]
[B - shopping | around town]
[It's been an overall bad month for Fai so far. At some point he decides to engage in a little retail therapy, and what better way to feel better than to wear a cute sundress while engaging in said retail therapy? And HAHAHA it's not like Fai's ever going to go to actual therapy himself anyway.
So he's puttering around one of the shopping districts in the city in this adorable dress, because the bruising on his torso has finally faded enough that only very pale patches of yellow are still visible through the straps on the back. He's wearing cute sandals, his blond hair is long enough now to twist into a real ponytail!!, and he's wearing his big Audrey Hepburn sunglasses. And he's carrying a big, overpriced, sugary looking iced coffee. He's skinny and pretty enough that he's able to pass pretty easily, unless you already know him. Feel free to run into him (hopefully not literally) however you like!]

So, surprise flickers in his eyes when he offers his hand for a shake while introducing himself.
A beat before he takes his hand.]
I'm Hikari. It's nice to meet you, Fai.
no subject
[The tone of his voice is friendly, interested without being... interested. Sure the guy's cute and all, but way, way too young for Fai. After throwing himself at John that one time he's trying his best not to be a cradle-robber. And mostly succeeding.
...also his eyes are really, really pretty and Fai is trying hard not to stare, but thank god the sunglasses are there to hide the staring.]
no subject
[He'd be oblivious to anyone being interested in him that way, after all.
But enjoy those mismatched eyes, Fai. The blue and green eyes definitely stands out and definitely enough to have Hikari shying away if mentioned.]
no subject
[Don't worry, he won't mention the eyes. Yet. He'll probably gush about them at some point though lbr, because this is Fai.]
no subject
[Or both. They do both, right?
He looks interested.]
What kind of job are you aiming for since you're working on your master's in social work?
no subject
Ah, that's so cool! And if you make any big discoveries you can name it after yourself, right?
[He shrugs a little at the question--though it's pretty obvious it's more because he's a bit embarrassed than because he doesn't care.]
I'm already a social worker, it'll just let me get a more advanced license so I'll be able to do more things to help people. I'll be able to do mental health work without a supervisor, stuff like that.
no subject
[He grins.
And then he looks very impressed.]
It's never bad to get more education. You must really enjoy being a social worker.
no subject
[This part comes out kind of sing-song; it's teasing, but gentle, good-natured teasing.
He smiles and nods.]
I really do. It's a lot of work, but there are a lot of foster kids in Recolle that need help. I just want to make things a little easier for them, you know?
no subject
I'm not sure I'd be able to get as famous as them.
[Ah - that gets him to smile a bit softer, maybe even a bit sadder.]
That definitely does sound a like a lot of work, but it's good to know they have someone like you helping them out.
