003 - Gathering

[kokuyoyo]

Who: Any and all Awakened characters
What: An invitation for a meeting of the Awakened in anticipation of the newest countdown.
When: June 23/24, especially during the latest applenet post
Where: Chikusa's school apartment at Green Valley
Other: Consider this a mingle log for all Awakened characters to talk freely about the newest batch on the app, the new countdown, and when they get their sweet new duds again!


Ciro Bonavida's apartment is rather easy to find. Not only are the instructions left at the pawnshop written in a neat and clear hand, but the school apartments have a directory of their own, of course. While some of the older members of the group might normally draw a raised eyebrow, well... It's Solstice. The apartments aren't as filled as they normally might be in some areas with their occupants out partying, and the parties that are happening inside draw all sorts. No one, in this particular instance, will look twice.

As a bonus to make sure there's no doubt at all, the door on Ciro's apartment has a small paper sign taped to the front. My roommate is OUT! Around it, small happy sheep are drawn. Apparently he's taken inspiration from someone...

Any one of the Awakened who come over can do so as early as they like and stay to the following morning, if they want- Chikusa is fairly certain that Ciro's roommate is going to stay out for a good long while and isn't worried. Still, for anyone staying overnight (a necessity if they want to stay up for the app post to come up), he'd rather it if you went to crash at one of the many parties going on in the apartment buildings... He doesn't have room for everyone, you know, especially since none of you jerks are coming into his bedroom if he has any say about it.

As a bonus, every Awakened is treated to hot chocolate, tea, coffee, or iced tea in one of Ciro's many... many... mugs. Enjoy.

Chikusa Kakimoto - ota

[kokuyoyo]

A - Pre-App
Ciro- or Chikusa, now, to those that know, which should be everyone coming into this apartment- makes sure that everyone is who should be coming here. Inbetween answering the door and doing checks, however, he's a rather lethargic as he shuffles about to get drinks or just sit with his back against a wall.

Occasionally, however, he brings one of two topics up.

The first is to anyone else who attends the school and is near enough in grade level. "Rommy.... isn't at the school anymore." It's a quiet observation, and he seems to be waiting to see more what the reaction is than anything.

Second is more general, to anyone near enough. "Thoughts on the second batch...?"

B - 2am Outfit Swap
As everyone's phones flash with the sign of a new post to the app.... Well. That's when a strange thing happens. One moment, he' in a simple pair of pajama pants and a moon graphic tee, the next he's wearing the black and white long coat that he once wore a good few weeks ago in the dead of night when they were all fighting for their lives.

His eyes dart around quickly, taking stock of the situation in a more alert way than his sleepy disposition throughout the day might have hinted at, and it's only when he's certain nothing bad is going to happen that he looks down at his new clothes. Curiously, he pulls down his glasses which have also changed.

"....That's unnecessary..."

C - General
[Since this IS Ciro/Chikusa's apartment, feel free to bring any prompt of your own to the table. He's not going anywhere. He might even kick your character in the ankles if they overstay their welcome.]

[transient_specter]

A - Pre-App

Gen - Makoto - is here, of course. It's not unusual for him to be in this room, after all. His 'brother' lives here. He's leaning against the wall near the door, watching the people who come in. No one asked him to play bouncer, but he totally will.

... Still, he'll give people a brief nod as they come in. Most people. If you've gotten into a stupid fight with him he'll let you in, but he'll glare.

B - Magic Time

Makoto's still hanging around, of course. But when 2 AM rolls around, his clothes change to a long jacket, a dark blue robe underneath, and a horned mask over his face. He pulls the mask up and attempts to keep his scythe from bumping into anyone.

C - Wildcard

[Need him for something else? Here you go.]

Koujirou Genda ll OTA

[beastfang]

Pre-App 1[A]

Genda had not told anyone he had followed the vague instructions by Astaroth regarding going to the 'fun' Baalberith. Mostly due to the fact if this was not what it seemed and was a trap for unsuspecting people, then it would hopefully just be him sacrificed and not someone of importance. Though he also had prepared just in case it actually was as it seemed and had came with a rather large box of various baked goods that had been made when his 'mother' had noted that some of the fruit they had was about to go bad and thus on a rare day off had roped him into helping bake them with the blessing to take them with him one day to school if he wanted to share with any friends.

Those and the large container of freshly dried tea leaves were at least an acceptable gift by the standards of his family back home, and not here in Eddan, when entering a house as a guest for the first time. He also had his backpack filled with more of the sheep he had left with his clue for that scavenger hunt the new Marchosias had proposed. A burden he easily will hand off to whoever is willing to offload the foodstuff from him.


Pre-app 2 [B]

After settling in a corner and out of the way of most of those coming and going. While mostly absorbed in observing and writing down things in the small spiral notebook he had brought, the thing that might catch most people's attention is the open backpack and the many possibly familiar looking plushies if they had played the question game from earlier. What is different from the ones before is are the small ribbons in various colors around their necks with either the crossed sword or wheel symbol from the applenet app. If asked he'll explain the meaning behind such things and the change for these ones. If someone asks.

Outfit swap [C]

It was the moment metal and leather suddenly encased his hands that Genda realized something was not following the script from before. There's only a small sigh as the almost fifteen year old is seen attempting to pocket his phone without cracking it or breaking it on accident due to the gauntlets around his hand. Then there's a few moments him staring at the metal trying to figure out how to get them off before turning to someone close by for help. The hat of his black uniform shadowing his eyes until he looks up at a specific angle to be seen past said shadow cast by the brim of his hat.

"I do not think I will be capable of removing these on my own."

The fact said gauntlets are being held on by leather straps buckled securely shows that to be true, considering the sharp claw like fingers encasing said hands. Help him maybe?


Wildcard [D]
[Want to do something else, maybe commute buddies or people sharing the same piece of floor for the night after the app shenanigans? Hit me up. I'll also match your style of brackets or prose.]

a - before

Nakigitsune wasn't a particularly social person back when he was Natsume. He's even less so now, though for rather different reasons. Still, coming to this meetup sounded like the thing to do, so here he is! Standing off to the side, wearing a medical mask, staring into his cute fox mug, like he's pondering whether hot chocolate is worth the risk of taking off his mask. (He'll give in eventually, chocolate is hard to resist.)

While he's doing a pretty good job of playing mute wallflower though, this doesn't mean Naki isn't paying attention; he's listening to the conversation around him, looking around at all the people, making mental notes on who his new comrades are, that sort of thing. In fact, you might even notice him staring at you! Just because you caught him doesn't mean he'll stop staring.

b - after

He's in the middle of a yawn when his outfit suddenly changes - black gloves, a fox-eared jacket and a black lacquer mask replacing the much less noticeable ensemble he'd had on before. He stares down at his hand for a moment, raising it up to touch his mask...this is fine.

The jacket kinda makes him sad, though. He misses his fox. There's a frown beneath the mask (his mouth is actually visible on this one) as he tugs at it, but otherwise he continues not to say anything.

A: Pre-App

Gut has finally relented into selecting a mug after his styrofoam cup broke after his sixth refill. He looms way to tall for Ciro's table and has resigned himself to slouching all night to make up for it. His incredibly masculine purse rests on a chair beside him, begging anyone to take it. It takes a while for him to finally speak up.

"We got lucky last time." His voice is heavy but quiet. "We and the group after us, were not prepared for that battle." He takes another sip and nods at Chikusa. "People are disapearing still. We need a plan of attack."


B: Post-App

When the clock strikes 2am, Guts suddenly recoils with a shout hand flying to his face. A stabbing pain shoots from his eye and when he stands, his outfit has changed from a normal black hoodie and jeans to dark black and brown armor with a flowing black cape. A giant black sword hands to his back. Oh, and he's missing an eye.

"Ow f-" There are children here. "-rick..." He taps the sealed spot where a perfectly healthy eye used to be and winces. "Hrgh. Did this happen last time?"
