[Open] Nobody knows the trouble I've seen

[theshowsover]

WHO: Akira and anyone
WHERE: his house mostly
WHEN: Punishment week
WHAT: Akira is stuck in his Velvet Room outfit for a week (complete with shackles and ball and chain!). Come help him (or make fun of him).
WARNINGS: none atm

A: Open to roommates/anyone who visits his house in Ruga

[Waking up in a thin prison uniform, shackles on his wrists and foot chained to a heavy iron ball, had become so common to Akira that when he first opens his eyes, he thinks Igor must have the power to pull him into the Velvet Room from even here.

But the then he realizes he's lying in his orange room in his home in Ruga, and he bolts up in bed. Something is very, very wrong.

Attempts to remove the shackles or the ball and chain are futile, even with his lock picks and and skills honed during his time exploring Palaces. He attempts to get the shirt off by tearing, but it repairs itself. Even his glasses appear back on his side table any time he attempts to put them on.

He gives up quickly enough; he's stuck like this for the foreseeable future.

Thanks to the ball, he's pretty immobile. For the next week, he thumps around the house, the ball thudding on stairs and clanging against furniture. He doesn't move much because it takes a lot of effort, and he turns into himself more than usual.

It's a little embarrassing to be seen this way. Really, not cool at all.]

[On the first day of punishments, a post appears on the network that I didn't want to make a separate post for, in Akira's font color.]

This is Akira Kurusu. My mobility is limited at the moment so I won't be able to help patrol Bluo. Carry on the best you can and let me know if there's anything I can help with from here.

Thanks.

B: OTA

[Eventually, Akira misses... well not the sun, since there isn't really one, but he misses the outside. So he clunks his way out, and manages to make it to the stoop before he gives up and sits down. He's already regretting this when he thinks of how hard it will be to get the ball back up the stairs...

Oh well. Might as well hang out for awhile now that he's come all the way here. Anyone walking by the house in Ruga late in the week is liable to see him on the stoop, leaned back and rubbing at his shackles.]

want me to find you a file in the meantime
Might take you a few years but we’ll be sure to visit

[theshowsover]

You can just send it in a cake.

[good_ideas]

i’ll go get someone to bake me one
And maybe include a bonus hammer in there too

[theshowsover]

That's so nice of you.
I'll be out in no time.

[good_ideas]

that’s the plan
You have to come out and join us back in the light

[theshowsover]

I always will.
Good to know I have good friends who will break me out of jail, though.

[He'll need it... later.]

[good_ideas]

of course~
We’ve got your back
And if it takes too long just send a message and we’ll think of something else

[And by something she means Kaoru, psychic powers and pulling the bars out of the windows.]

[theshowsover]

[Somehow he has a feeling that's what she means...]

I'm almost excited to see your plan now.

[good_ideas]

We could always just skip straight to that plan if you want?
Chiseling away at the wall for four years does seem like it would be hard

[theshowsover]

That's true. At that point I might as well wait to be released on good behavior. The first might be better.

[good_ideas]

then breaking you out of jail, changing your name and sending you abroad to live out the rest of your life it is

[theshowsover]

...I don't think I agreed to those last two parts.

[good_ideas]

What’s your plan then after we break you out of jail?
Get caught in 5 minutes?

[theshowsover]

I could always fake my death.

[good_ideas]

you could
it might come back to haunt you later when all your friends and family come to look for you though

[theshowsover]

Just make sure they're in on it.

[good_ideas]

the more people you have in on it the more likely you are to get caught though
But i guess having more people there does mean you have a bigger support network

[theshowsover]

That's why you only tell confidants. People you can trust.
Exactly.

[good_ideas]

well then i guess i’ll just have to vet every single friend you have huh
Being a hero is too much work...

[theshowsover]

But in the end it's worth the work.

[Right?]

[good_ideas]

yeah i guess?
I have to save you and all

[theshowsover]

Right. And I'm worth it.

[good_ideas]

well kaoru-chan seems to have a pretty good opinion of you
So i guess i’ll agree on that point

[theshowsover]

I'm glad I have her to vouch for me.

[good_ideas]

she would also vouch for an 80 year old pervert though
But it’s fine
