tabularasa_rp | October catch-all!

Who: Kasumi Yoshizawa + you?
What: this, that, and the other
Where: various places around the Void!
When: after her first sleep after waking up from the nightmare!
Content Warnings: nothing yet, will edit if need be!

1. home (merlaut apartments, beach)

[ In some ways, the timing was fortuitous. With sleep being a thing once more, she needs a place for it that isn't the floor of her senpais' apartments - and it just so happens that Akechi, having woken up again, has decided to make his temporary stay with Ren a more permanent one. It's for that reason that her first "day" is spent going back and forth from the apartment, finding whatever she can on the beach to try and make it more suited to her preferences, rather than the completely untouched look the detective had seemed to be going for.

By the end of her day, she'll have a much better setup in place: a wardrobe hung with a few of the different-colored uniforms from the academy mall, some usable pots, pans and other cooking paraphernalia in the kitchen, some vases with flowers, and a few other pieces of furniture and decorative pieces here and there. But if you find her anytime between the beginning of it and the end, whether at the apartment proper or the beach or on her way back and forth, she'll likely be carrying pieces back and forth, or perhaps standing in one spot trying to figure out what exactly she wants to do next...

Either way, she'll be glad of any help you have to offer, whether you're a friend, acquaintance, or complete stranger! ]

2. exploratory (mementos)

[ Mementos didn't exist in the Void before their nightmare. That's what she's been told, anyway. But they're here now, with the one major difference that going down into them no longer seems to transform her into Violet, no longer brings Ella further past the surface of her soul than where she already sits and whispers. Neither though are there Shadows haunting its corridors anymore - the tunnels are uncomfortably silent, apart from the thundering pulsing of a heartbeat - or any floors deeper than the first.

Still, as she moves through the maze, Yoshizawa keeps her rapier in the tight grip of a fist, red eyes scanning the area ahead of her as if she's waiting for something to change. This isn't the Metaverse anymore, and so her gun will be useless, nothing more than a toy, but a sword is a sword no matter which way you look at it.

If something emerges from the shadowy light ahead, she's ready. ]

3. apprenticeship (heavenly blanc)
(with ren)

[ Outside of her skills as a gymnast, outside of taking down Shadows in the Metaverse, there's one thing Yoshizawa is really, really good at doing: cooking. As such, she figures it's only natural for her to ask Ren if she can help him out in Heavenly Blanc from time to time.

(Plus, after the strangeness she witnessed in the nightmare, she's not entirely sure she's keen on leaving him alone with Akechi too often. Even if they do live together.)

Ren teaches her how to brew coffee, too; she's not great yet, not on her senpai's level, but she can at least make something that tastes decent enough that people don't wince when they taste it. It's a good start for her, and gives her something to do besides hanging around in places that seem like home but aren't, with no purpose besides existing.

Even if right now about the only stuff she can manage to make involves a LOT of meat and mushroom... Regardless of anything, she's comfortable in a kitchen, so visitors will find her with a smile on her face and a pep in her step! ]

4. wildcard

[ want to do something but don't like any of the prompts here? you can hit me up at denouements if you want, or just post something here! as new as Yoshizawa is, I welcome any kind of CR for her! ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Damien shrugs. sure, why not? he tried, at least, and really, he's not as opposed to the formalities as he was pretending to be. he likes the sense of respect that comes with it]

[but at any rate, he repeats her name just to make sure he has it and sans any honorifics -- though that has more to do with the fact that he's an American and they feel odd on his tongue more than anything else. a glance thrown over his shoulder follows, before:] Where were you headed?

[does she have the time, now?]

O-Oh! Nowhere in particular, really...

[ She gestures around them, as if it's meant to provide some kind of answer to his question. Which of course, it doesn't - she was halfway between her start point and her destination, after all. After a moment, she offers him a brief, embarrassed smile. ]

Akechi-san... I'm not sure if you know him, but he's from my world. He gave me his apartment, so I've just been back and forth from the beach, decorating it.

[ Nothing pressing, in other words. But is anything in this place actually pressing? ]

If you wanted, we could get coffee instead, or something to eat?

[he can't help but make a small, amused sound. does he know Akechi?] He's one of my favorite people here. [a beat] I was sad to see him go. [though, he understands. he knows that Akechi and Ren are a thing. not to mention the fact that, with as many times as Akechi's gotten himself hurt, these last few months, well. if Ren hadn't asked him to move him, he might have. strength in numbers and all that]

[either way, after a beat, he adds:] No offense, of course. [he has absolutely nothing against her -- she helped him. maybe she'll end up being one of his favorite people, too. who knows?]

[either way, after another brief pause, he continues:] But something to eat sounds wonderful. Were you thinking Heavenly Blanc or something in Wall Market? [he'd guess she'd be more comfortable with the former, all things considered, but]

[ She'll never admit to it if asked, but the look that appears on her face when Damien responds to her question about Akechi is definitely one of surprise. She's not really used to him being people's favorite, although despite everything, she's genuinely happy to know that he's getting along with people in the Void too. He's not always the easiest person with whom to get along, and someone who accepts him for who he is - assuming Damien knows who Akechi really is - is always a good thing, in her eyes. ]

N-No, none taken, I promise! Akechi-san and I are... very different people. And when you care about someone, of course you'll miss them!

[ It makes perfect sense, in her eyes. Even if she was the type to get offended, she doesn't think she could, not over something like this. When a friend leaves, even if it's to somewhere nearby, it can be hard. The saving grace of course is that they're all in the same building, and all with friends from—

—does Damien have any friends from home, here? She'll need to ask him about that once they've found somewhere to eat.

Speaking of... ]

If it's okay with you, I'd like to go to the Wall Market! [ She hasn't been there many times yet, and she's excited to try some of the different foods they have. ]

[he hums -- and at the suggestion that they go to Wall Market, arches his eyebrows. it's a little surprising that she doesn't want to go to Heavenly Blanc, again all things considered, but he's not going to argue it. he's happy with either, really]

[that in mind, when he lowers his eyebrows, he flashes her a crooked smile] I know just the place. [a beat] Have you ever been to Strife's Bites?

[ ... never mind the fact that he's kind of ... been avoiding Tifa, since this shit in Mementos. it's complicated and he's an idiot]
