1. resolution
(after the New Year's Party)

[ Despite having helped out with the party, it's still a little strange to Yoshizawa that they're celebrating a "new year" at all. Time has been largely stable since her arrival in the Void, so she knows that for her part, she's only been here a few months... and when she was taken from home, it was March. So it's weird, a little.

Still, it's probably good for them to have some kind of system to track dates, right? And starting with January 1st makes more sense than starting anywhere else, especially given the fact that everyone seems to remember different days as being their last back at home.

It's her first new year since her life changed so drastically, and so something about the tradition of making resolutions speaks to her more than ever, this time around. Fresh starts, or something like that.

So as the party winds down, Yoshizawa can be found sitting at one of the tables in Heavenly Blanc, neatly-written kanji and kana lining the napkin in front of her, the girl adding more to it with each careful stroke of her pen, her brows furrowed in focus.

If she's approached, she'll look up in surprise, offering a shy smile to whomever is joining her. ]

U-Um, are you planning on making any resolutions too?

2. kichijoji

[ It's not just that Senpai and Akechi-san have already made the move to living somewhere in the newly-appeared place that's kind of Kichijoji. Like a few other places around the Void, the place feels something like home, much more than the apartments do. Plus, something about having two entire floors to herself speaks to her. She loves helping Ren out in the Heavenly Blanc, but for someone who loves cooking as much as she does, she can't help but daydream of a small stall where she can "sell" food for the other people who are living here.

It's not like they don't already have a lot of restaurants and the like, but...

Habit has her standing, arms at her sides, considering one of the shopfronts in front of her with a tilted head, as if goods line the outside just like they would back home. She's lost so deeply in her own thoughts that passersby won't even be greeted as they normally would, and any efforts to get her attention will result in her jumping, startled, before she bows. ]

I— I'm so sorry! I didn't see you there.

3. gym

[ In the Aoba Shibumenosaki Underground Academy gym, Yoshizawa is a completely different person - not unfamiliar to anyone who met her within the depths of the Mementos nightmare, but certainly unlike the girl who usually walks around the Void. Dressed in the academy's sports uniform (of course in a striking red), she can usually be found completing routines on the floor, practicing kickboxing or fencing (always versus nothing but the air in front of her), or occasionally using one of the machines to work up a proper sweat. A look of serious focus can always be seen on her face, and people who join her will be met with little more than a brief nod - at least until she's finished what she's currently doing.

Maybe this is how you find her, focused on the workout, or maybe you come across her when she's finished, sitting down against one of the walls and perhaps watching anyone still working out, hair wet from the showers and falling over her shoulders, a container full of food in her lap and chopsticks in one hand.

And it's not just you: that container of food really does seem to be far too big for someone as small as her... ]

Gym

[bazooker]

[Meanwhile, Haru was much focused on doing the treadmill right now. She wasn't sure how much stronger or fit she was now she wasn't focused on battling shadows anymore. While she might not be as fit as some of her teammates, she knew she had to keep up her fitness should she ever go back home.

It was until after her run that she realized there was someone else in the gym with her]

Yoshizawa-san? Is that you? [Despite how sweaty she was, she just had to go up and see her friend!]

kichijoji

[kimihiros]

(he's moved here as well, taking a store and upstairs for his own should his powers return. maybe, just maybe, his home comes to the void but for now, he has decided to take matters into his own hands.

he's only out for a quick trip to the market, properly dressed in a kimono before he sees the red headed girl looking straight into his welcoming space. he frowns, as she's not exactly coming in, but she's not just walking around either. spacing out, huh?)

Yoshizawa-chan? Are you alright?

Resolution

[bridge_princess]

Ehhhhh?

[She was seated in the chair opposite her, trying to look relaxed and failing miserably. Honestly, she was never very good at being all that calm or sedate about anything. Always a little fidgeting and nervous, this one. Looking up at Sumire, she shrugged.]

I actually hadn't thought about it. Things are so unpredictable here that I don't really know if I could do something like self improvement here really?

1. Resolution

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[Kaiba had lasted much longer at this party than he intended to, especially since they literally just had a large social gathering in the previous month. Still, things like these were a method to gain intel- arguably this was less profitable in that department than the first void party but there was no way to know that beforehand.

When he noted the red-head he briefly wondered what she was doing but she supplied that information immediately]

You know.. there is paper for that kind of thing.

[Not that there was any in the vicinity currently, but still. Then to answer her question]

I don't see the point in resolutions.

Gym

[symbolofstrength]

When is this world going to start having athletic clothes in his size? He wasn't trim enough to fit into the jerseys provided even when he was a teenager himself. So the only thing he can do to dress for a workout is to shrug off his labcoat, neatly folding it up and setting it aside with his decidedly non-athletic footwear, maybe unbutton the top button or two of his shirt.

Then he starts messing around with the free weights... gosh, that weight seems awfully big for a man his age to be picking up so effortlessly. Not to the point of being Superman or anything, but it's a bit surprising. He pauses when he glances up and meets her eyes by chance, though; but before long, he gives her a friendly smile and nod.

His smile only grows further when his gaze drops to the food in her lap, though it's a nostalgic one with a far-off look in his eyes; it seems that she's reminding him of someone.
