Who gon' pray for me? [OPEN]

WHO: Rin Okumura and Open
WHERE: All Over
WHEN: Entire month, including punishment week
WHAT: Punishment week, Rin is burdened with increasing paranoia that he's losing control of his powers and doesn't handle it well at all. Rest of the month, general catch all, feeding folks, possibly helping with quests, etc
WARNINGS: Well it's Rin, swearing is going to happen sooner or later. Sooner more than later, probably.

a. first week - Rin's house in Bluo

[They say 'trust your instincts', that gut feelings are supposed to be the most accurate way to tell that something is wrong and needs to not be ignored.

What happens, though, when your gut is telling you you're losing control even if that's not actually what's happening.

It started as an annoying nagging sensation in the pit of Rin's stomach shortly after things returned to normal and the district populations were all one again. It was distracting, to say the least, but he couldn't put a finger on what was causing the feeling so it went more or less ignored until he woke up the next day only to find it more insistent. Stronger. Persistent.

Again, he couldn't quite settle on what was causing it, and while he became increasingly and unusually quiet even while working in the kitchen, there was a strange thought in his mind that it had something to do with his sword. Checking said sword didn't reveal anything out of the ordinary, and once again it was mostly ignored.

On the third day, however, he didn't appear out of his room until mid afternoon, looking haggard, lacking sleep and twitchy. Even the movements of his tail were erratic. He was certain now - something was wrong with him, with his power, and there was a constant twisting of nerves in his stomach along with the pervasive thought that he was quite possibly losing control. A year of training to prevent such a thing and for reasons unknown to him he was simply... slipping.

Day four, he didn't come out of his room at all.

He feared being around anyone, especially those he cared about, knowing that should he truly snap the way he felt like his mind and body were attempting to do he would absolutely wind up hurting someone. He was terrified, waiting with shaky breaths and exhausted eyes for the moment when he would finally lose it all and burn everything down. Nothing he did to calm himself worked in the least, and his only refuge at that point was to keep himself locked away and hope... pray, even ... that no one would try to come looking for him.]


b. catch all, second week on - "Chroma Cafe"

[Once that paranoid feeling passes and he no longer fears he'll be dragged in to fire and insanity by lacking control of his own powers, it's back to relative normalcy for Rin. Of course it's not easily forgotten, that awful week spent thinking he'll burn someone he cares about. It lingers in his mind, only manifesting as moments of quiet contemplation and distant gazes, but more or less he's the same old Rin working diligently to keep people in Chroma fed from his recently dubbed "Chroma Cafe".

Granted it's a cafe in name only, really just a kitchen where food is passed out to those who ask, but at least now thanks to Vriska it has been adorned with the appropriate signage.]


c. catch all - evenings, at the docks

[The experience left him feeling oddly restless. He never considered himself lazy, exactly, but normally he wasn't against a good long bout of relaxation especially after a day in the kitchen. Lately, though, he found himself needing to take a walk once the kitchen was closed up for the evening, eventually winding up at the docks staring out into the water.

Events back home had, for a while now, left him questioning whether or not he even wanted to return to True Cross. He wanted so badly to help Yukio, or rather the Yukio that he had left standing on that bridge, but he genuinely feared what it was that was holding his brother back.

Now, though...

Well, he still didn't want to face that situation, but that paranoia over his power made him actually miss home, miss his training, miss the classes and definately made him miss his cram school classmates. Were they okay? Was Shura doing alright? Mephisto had been shot, and while he was a demon that should have been able to survive it there had been some hint that he wasn't recovering as quickly as he normally would. He hated that damn clown but even he didn't deserve that.

What a fucking mess. He wanted to be able to focus on other things, on aiding people in Chroma and not stress over the life he'd left behind and yet...]


d. wildcard

[Mainly because I can't think of any more prompts if you want a closed thread, or just have another idea for poking Rin, let me know! [plurk.com profile] rubberfaceokumura

[It's early in the week when Shiho pops her head through the door at a place she's...looked at but never eaten at. Kaoru has good things to say about this place though and besides, she needs to eat food that's had some thought put into its creation if only so it can reassure her that her psychometry is still there.]

...Hey, are you guys open?

[And more importantly, what was the daily special?]
good_ideas: (neutral || just stating the facts)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-06-10 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey... [And with that she sidles in, glancing down at the tail and thinking how easy it is to see what someone's thinking when they have a tail.

Really, everyone should have a tail...]


What's the daily special?
good_ideas: (geez || I need air freshener)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-06-11 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Can I have it without the broccoli? [Though if he puts it in, she'd probably still eat it. Minamoto would have disapproved if she went around picking the broccoli out of her food, after all.]
good_ideas: (evil || yeah I really don't care)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-06-13 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Can she stick her tongue out at him? Because she's doing that right now as she sits down, propping her elbows on the table.]

Don't say that like you don't have food you dislike.

[Or maybe not everyone is a picky princess like she is.]
good_ideas: (geez || I need air freshener)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-06-15 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Shouldn't all teenagers just want to eat pizza and fast food? You're surprisingly a good kid, huh?

[In that respect, at least. Shiho is the child who put her carrots in other people's plates.]

I just liked snacking and eating sweets. I was super picky too. [She's still picky now, but Chef Minamoto has really made her more open to eating things. It helps when everything is delicious and no one tries to force her into eating anything.]
good_ideas: (geez || I need air freshener)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-06-16 09:03 am (UTC)(link)
You still ate everything they gave you though? [which as far as she's aware means that he was a good kid.

Then again, Shiho had been raised like a princess and she had been allowed to be a picky eater...]


What? No pizza till middle school?!
good_ideas: (neutral || just stating the facts)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-06-19 10:57 am (UTC)(link)
He sounds like a good dad. [She knows how hard saving up (via Minamoto) could be.

Though the Yukio thing sounds more than bitter... really, celebrating one kid was a good thing, letting the other feel inadequate in comparison was an entire other thing.]


I like sukiyaki too. Maybe you should offer it here when we get the ingredients for it.
good_ideas: (evil || now everyone knows)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-06-22 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Shiho won't pry, not when she's fairly certain he doesn't want her to. Instead she'll prop her elbows on the table and smile at him.]

What, you dont think a thought like that'll help you work harder?
good_ideas: (geez || when I figure this out...)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-06-24 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm...

[It could take forever.... it would be like her and pizza...]

Then what about asking everyone else to help? We can’t be the only ones who likes sukiyaki.
good_ideas: (evil || would I lie to you?)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-06-28 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Then explain it and make them curious. Isn't there an idol here somewhere? Get them to sell it.

[Go, Rin, make Tenn Kujo sell sukiyaki.]
good_ideas: (smile | so cute so pure)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-07-02 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, I met one a while back. He looks like he'd be good at selling the idea of sukiyaki.

[Why would he be good at it?

Because Shiho would find it funny, that's why.]
good_ideas: (evil || I needed money for reasons)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-07-06 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
But I’m not the one who loves sukiyaki. Besides, I can’t even cook...

[She can. She’s just refusing to in the same way she’s refusing to be the one to ask. It’s not fun unless everyone involved (minus herself, of course) is embarrassed.]
good_ideas: (evil || would I lie to you?)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-07-07 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I did? I gave you suggestions and everything.

[That’s helping!]
