ten-faced, cetana version.

I - 11/17: early morning, torii dimension (locked to Sasuke)

[ Terry had been a zombie for several days, and in complete stasis, despite the numerous wounds he was bleeding from that have never healed. It doesn't look like he's been bleeding while here though and he finally opens his eyes for the first time in days. ]

Where am I...?


II - 11/17: afternoon to evening, town

[ Terry lost all his memories. Good thing he and Orien met up. Maybe Sasuke also relayed the basics to him too. Either way, Orien got him a fresh set of clothes after Terry cleaned himself in the bathhouse. He's no longer a bloody mess. Orien is being a good tour guide and telling Terry where everything is, what he did, etc. Orien is treating this like Terry has been leading a normal life here. Don't fuck it up. He has glasses on too, since Orien brought that over as well. ]


III - 11/18: morning, torii (locked to Sasuke)

[ Terry regains all his memories. Everything. It takes so much not to lash out and he's started to feel desperate after experiencing the events on the 17th. He hides in the forest and revisits the torii. Please let him in. ]


IV - 11/19: lockdown, fear floor (limited to 2 people)

[ It's a ruined city. If you've seen Terry's memory floor previously, you'll see that it's the same city as before. However, there is no ongoing destruction. Everything has already happened. You'll see three people: Terrence, who stands at a distance from the other two, Terry who seems shell-shocked by something, and... another Terry? It's Shadow Terry, making a reappearance, grabbing a hold of Terry's collar and yelling at him.

It's a mess already. There's a reason this is the fear floor. ]


V - 11/23-25: black cat house, around town

[ A) Black cat house: There is a big, fluffy samoyed dog in the crane room that's looking down at the 30+ cats and petting them with his paw.

B) Around town: And now there's a big fluffy samoyed dog prancing around town that's petting cats again. Some cats have mixed responses to the petting. If he sees you, he'll give a short howl before staring at you. His omamori is completely hidden in his poofy fur, but if you dig through his fur, you'll see a glimpse or the usual red-brown that peeks through all the white. It's like a collar with a name tag... without the name. ]


VI - 11/28-29: around... town

[ Terry woke up inside Toki's body and he is having such a bad time. You can most likely find him lying down on the ground somewhere in town for one of many reasons. ]

[ Terry is not going to agree on that, so Kido gets a face squish. ]

[reveilation]

[ asdflkjh She'll attempt to speak through the face squashing ]

There's not! There's a lot, but that's why I like it here!

[ It's cat heaven; there's no way this is too many. They could do with more. ]

[overstrain]

[ Kido isn't punching him or anything as a first reflex. This is such a huge improvement. ]

I know you like all thee cats, but someone is housing, feeding, playing, and taking care of all those cats. And that's definitely not free. Please have some mercy on my time...

[reveilation]

[ She would accidentally punch a cat, so she couldn't do it ): Terry is safe only as long as there are cats around. ]

It's not going to be all on you... I got a job too, and I don't mind spending my free time taking care of the cats.

[overstrain]

If you could cover the cat expenses alone, that would take a load off my mind...

[ It really would. He wraps his arms around Kido's nec to pull her closer. ]

[reveilation]

[ Cat expenses shouldn't be too bad, she thinks... it's mostly food, and like she said, the actual taking care of them is something she likes doing and find relaxing instead of it being a chore. Terry's saddled with the large expenses like rent and utilities and groceries... ]

Yeah, alright. They're my cats now.

[ If she feeds them, they're hers. ]

[overstrain]

[ Yup... anything that gets taken off the expenses he needs to pay is a really good thing. Terry smiles. ]

Yeah. They're your cats now. Take care of them well, okay?

[ He gives her a quick kiss. ]

[reveilation]

[ Kido laughs softly under her breath and shifts a little so she can kiss the side of his face. ]

Of course I will. They're family, after all.

[overstrain]

[ Yeah, they're family. The cats are important, and Terry will get to know every single one when he has the time to. But now... Terry laughs a little too and leans in to give Kido another kiss, but it's his turn to initiate a deeper kiss this time. ]

[reveilation]

[ Kido lets her eyes slide shut as she hums into the kiss, lips curled in a smile. It's so stupid how much she loves him, when less than an hour ago she was prepared to take a bat to his kneecaps, she was so angry. ]

[overstrain]

[ He deserves it anyway... Terry pulls back for a second, but resumes the kiss after smiling and pulling her even closer. Kido's so cute and his nonexistent heart is warm. He tries to go a little further this time, but trying to do it slowly so that Kido doesn't freak out too much. ]

[reveilation]

[ She only freaks out a little bit, inside, because doing it slowly means it lasts even longer when it already feels that way while she does her best to reciprocate. The crash course in kissing from Terrence and Souji ended up being useful, but it's also a disgusting thought and that's what makes Kido break the kiss off first, choosing instead to tuck her face beside Terry's neck to hide. ]

[overstrain]

[ He blinks, and smiles, nuzzling the side of Kido's head. He won't talk about whether his kiss sucked or if Kido's just being shy. He doesn't want to pinpoint to find out, so he'll leave it be. She's pretty much breathing against his neck now and it kinda tickles. ]

Want to get some sleep?

[reveilation]

[ She thinks maybe she can't sleep now, with how hard her heart's pounding, and she doesn't trust her voice to not waver or sound breathless so she just nods and goes ]

Mmhm.

[ At least it won't be another ceiling staring night. It's warm, and, against better judgement, she feels safe in Terry's arms. ]

[overstrain]

[ Terry puts his glasses on the bed stool and goes back to cuddling with Kido. It's warm, they're surrounded by cats, and on a bed. ]

Good night.

[reveilation]

Good night, Terry.

[ ...her voice sounds small and breathless like she thought, but she still wanted to say it.

They'll have one good day, and then people die during the meeting and she's going to be stressed again, but that's not yet. It's a good night. ]
