[OPEN] clever titles are for squares
ɪ. ʟᴀᴛᴇ ᴀᴛ ɴɪɢʜᴛ
[ it's a little after one in the morning when rei is back on the streets. coming from the direction of the hospital, her shoulders are hung low, her head is cast downwards, and her steps are slow. it's as if she's just simply dragging herself along. perhaps it wouldn't be anything to be concerned about. after all, maybe it was just a long night in the dungeon. ]
[ ... maybe that would have been the case if she wasn't covered in dried blood. ]
[ her shirt and skirt are ruined with a dark crimson colour and there's a very unfortunate small blood splatter across her face (cover your mouth when you cough, terry...). whether or not the blood bothers her, it's not like she can do much about it right now. she just continues to walk down the street, almost as if in some sort of trance. she doesn't pay attention to where she's heading and it's honestly more than likely that any of the following would happen: ]
[ a: she walks straight into a pole. ]
[ b: she walks straight into a person (you). ]
[ c: she walks right into the forest because she's not paying attention and i guess i'll have a bear eat her or something. ]
ɪɪ. ᴇᴀʀʟʏ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏʀɴɪɴɢ
[ the next morning, rei isn't doing much better. she has thrown out her clothes so she's back to wearing her original school uniform, but she has thrown on a black and tattered cape over herself, though. hm. well, whatever she's happy with. ]
[ she's still in a trance, though, so the following will happen again: ]
[ a: she walks into a person (you) (again).
[ b: she walks right into a food stand and well, i guess there goes 'em apples and oranges all over the floor. she's already getting yelled at so help. ]
[ c: courtesy of card, all 'em apples and oranges actually go into rei's face later on in the day. a kind npc has given her an orange but she's so tired and not really paying attention that she just bites down onto it like an apple and i guess she's eating the skin of the orange and getting orange juice everywhere. thanks, card. ]
[ d: she actually trips and falls flat on her face because the owner of the cape was actually 30cm taller than her so, of course, it's much longer on her. she falls quite heavily onto the floor and well, everything sucks. this sucks. life sucks!! ]
ɪɪɪ. ᴛɪʟʟ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇɴᴅ ᴏꜰ ᴊᴜʟʏ
[ over the course of the next week or so, rei hovers near the entrance of the dungeon but she doesn't actually go in. she looks extremely uneasy and just hovers around. when she spots someone trying to go through the front entrance, she walks on over and grabs them by their sleeve or end of their shirt. ]
... please don't go in.
[ it's a small and sad plead. ]

[ if you want to thread anything else with rei (backdated or slightly forwarddated) or with kokichi, just lmk and i will be there. this is literally just a post for me to throw threads into because it'd be so much easier for me to track, laughs. ]

but ahhhhh... It makes Kido really happy to hear it too, but also embarrassed, and anxious, and she ducks her reddening face so she can try to hide it in the collar of her jacket. ]
"Neechan" is okay...
[ It comes out as a whisper. Kido had two older sisters in her life, both of them kind and strong and caring, that she doesn't know if she can ever measure up to them. ]
no subject
Okay, neechan!
[ you can practically see the flowers and sunshine that are beaming out of her. she's just so happy that she can have someone!! she can call!! family!!! ]
I'll make sure to work really hard so we can live somewhere and eat a lot of delicious things together!
no subject
Mmhm. I'll work hard too, Rei.
no subject
[ she nods her head very excitingly.
Do you want to go back to the inn with me?
[ since, you know, kido offered a bit earlier to stay with her and maybe staying at home is better than out in this heat. ]
no subject
[ She loves Rei but does she love Rei enough to step foot in the inn? ]
I'm running some errands today, but maybe I can come over some other time.
[ She made up the errands just now, but maybe coming over doesn't have to be a lie— she loves Rei enough that she will go to the inn one time only and that's to save Rei and drag her out of it when they have another non-haunted place they can call their own. ]
no subject
[ so she'd just let rei go back to the haunted inn on her own :( i see how it is ]
no subject
But okay, crap, she has to make up errands. Something normal but time sensitive... ]
I'm... in charge of dinner tonight, so I have to buy the ingredients for that.
no subject
Do you need any help? I can help you buy the ingredients.
[ this is what happens when you lie, kido. you have to live with it. let's go buy some ingredients. ]
no subject
Uh... [ haha... ] Alright. I haven't decided what to make yet, so we can think of that together, and pick out the ingredients.
[ It's fine? It's fine. This is leaps and bounds better than seeing Rei just moping around all lifeless like she's one of the apathy syndrome victims, so Kido will try to stretch this time our for her as long as she can. ]
no subject
Okay.
[ she nods. she'll get up from the park bench. she grabs parts of the cape to bundle up in one of her hands since, well, it's huge on her and she should try to avoid tripping. she then extends out the other hand towards kido. ]
I don't know how to cook, but I'm really good at flavours and picking out food!
no subject
Everybody except Rei because she's too Good to die and Kido because she's smart and stayed home. She takes Rei's hand in hers, feeling a little childish like this, but happy too. I wanted to say she can't remember the last time she held anybody's hand, but she definitely does remember and the thought embarrasses her for other reasons, so she kicks that out of her mind and smiles at Rei instead. ]
Flavors are one of the most important parts of a meal, so I'll be happy to have your help.
[ The other important part is keeping things edible, which Kido's got covered. They're a great team. ]
no subject
[ share that thought, kido!!! embrace your inner embarrassment, but rei will lightly swing their hands as they walk. ]
What's your favourite flavour?
[ she's asking for no particular reason asides from finding out so then she can make sure to always get kido a bunch of snacks with that flavour ]
no subject
Hm? I guess it depends what I'm eating. Did you have something in mind you want to eat? I can make that for dinner, and you can take the leftovers for helping me.
no subject
I always like takoyaki!
[ which is not dinner food but lmfao rei doesn't understand concepts like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. it's always time to eat with her :9 ]
no subject
Hm... I don't think we have the equipment for it back at the house, but we can have takoyaki together at the festivals next month.
[ But yeah, she's not going out to buy a special griddle just to make takoyaki at home ]
Some sort of pancake or fritter would be easy enough to include octopus, though, and we can use the same sort of sauce.
no subject
Oh, like okonomiyaki? I love that too!
no subject
Yep, like okonomiyaki. Easy enough to make, and we won't have to buy too many extra ingredients either.
no subject
Mmhm and it's super tasty no matter what ingredients you put in it, including smelt!
[ especially smelt. ]
If you haven't tried smelt-flavoured food yet, you have to! Especially smelt ice cream!
no subject
Kido's been nodding along, thinking that she likes smelt fine on its own, and that smelt might go well in okonomiyaki if octopus also works, but
haha what? ]
Smelt... ice cream? Grilled fish flavored ice cream?
[ or like vanilla ice cream with fish chunks?? she's not sure which is worse ]
no subject
Yeah, it's really good! I'll share some with you if I find any in town!
no subject
[ She looks pained. How should she say this? ]
The scoops of fish paste you buy in the grocery store, it's not ice cream even if it's cold.
no subject
[ lmfao, of course, she'd still eat them. she'd eat anything. she has minato's bottomless stomach but souji's courage. ]
But I mean actual smelt-flavoured ice cream! The one that I really like has little fishes stuck in it so you can get something to chew on after the ice cream melts in your mouth!
no subject
It... sounds healthy, at least.
[ but she would never eat it ]
no subject
It is! [ lmfao she doesn't know that but she just goes along with kido. ] If I can't find any in town, I'll make you some!
[ rei is going to put so much work into making it for you, kido. are you just going to turn it down :( ]
no subject
That's- that's okay, really!
[ and by "okay," she means "not okay"!! ]
More importantly, do you how to make ice cream? It isn't the same as just freezing fish.
