010. [Action for Dangan House/Text]

[ACTION]

[His first thought upon waking up is that he doesn't know where he is.

His body tenses immediately on that bed in the basement, jolting sharply awake as though he's been startled by something, as though he's just been sleeping and he's had a hell of a nightmare; his eyes are wide, his gaze shifting around the room as though he's trying to get some idea of his surroundings and what's happening around him, and he might just look disoriented if it weren't for the fact that his gaze is so blatantly unfocused.

He's taking in everything without really seeing it; his breathing is quick to even out, however, and after a moment his body relaxes against that futon he sleeps on, and any fear that may have been present in him is gone entirely, seeming to take any genuine fight he may have had along with it.

After a moment he sits up, and if he isn't hindered immediately by anything or anyone he'll get up and start pacing the length of the basement, the motion aimless and ultimately pointless, just something to do because...well, it's something to do.

He hasn't lost that odd, disconnected look in his eyes; he's not registering anything very well, that much is obvious.]



[TEXT]

[A text will be hitting the network shortly after Ishimaru wakes up and any discussions with people in person have been carried out; it's short and uncharacteristically careless, and he isn't paying much attention to the device after it's out there, though he'll respond eventually to anyone who replies.]

i'm awake

and i'm sorry



[OOC: Canon-updating completed, for good or ill.]

[Oh good, his worst fears have been confirmed.]

Yeah, I kinda figured. I'm sorry you had to go back, man. None of us deserve that.

At least you're back here now, right?


[Probably not helping, but he really doesn't know what to say about this. Being back here doesn't change the fact that Ishimaru had to go through that.]

[That has quite an impact on Hagakure too. It gives him an idea of what Ishimaru has experienced so far...and he can definitely guess that he's been through the worst parts because of how concerning these texts are. Ishimaru's not acting like himself, just after...well, no need to go into detail.

But Ishimaru saying he's not dead yet so bluntly like that just kind of brings all those experiences back to Hagakure. He was there, trying to take charge in place of Ishimaru until he got better, but it never happened. He never got better before he died.

But there's a chance here, right?]


That's good. And you're not gonna die here either. Everything's okay here, remember?

[Wh--

Where did that come from?

No one's told him stuff like this. No one's told him it's good that he's around. How does he react?]
crystalballer: (☄ totally a mug shot)

[You know what, let's just start with a thank you.]

Thanks, Ishimaru-chi. You're a good guy too. I'm glad you're back. Believe me when I say no one can replace our SHSL Hall Monitor. I tried!

Still, I'm cool with trying again until you're ready to take back the reins.
crystalballer: (☄ did i just do something right?)

[Okay he wasn't actually expecting Ishimaru to trust him. But you know what, if Ishimaru trusts him, then he knows he can do this.]

Oh awesome. I'll do my best to not get lost in my dreams and actually wake up on time.

Yeah, I'm up in my room right now.

I thought so, so that's why I went the texting route. You'll come up on your own when you're ready and we can talk face to face then.

Do you want me to catch you up on things or should I wait for that? I can just let you be altogether for now if you'd rather have that.


[Is it obvious he really doesn't know how to handle this.]
crystalballer: (☄ but have you heard my alien story?)

You actually didn't miss that much. We've mostly been hanging around the house keeping an eye on you and getting to know the newbies.

Oh and I got a haircut yesterday believe it or not.


[It's something silly and not important in the least, but that's probably for the best right now anyway.]

It's a lot shorter than it used to be. And it feels really weird, to be completely honest. But it's also really nice cause it's ridiculously hot outside. It's like a big weight's been lifted off my shoulders!

Here, I'll take a pic.


[Attached is a shoddily-taken selfie of Hagakure with a big dopey smile on his face. His hair looks like the top middle bust sketch here.

He also attached a pic from the salon trip and the sea of brown hair clippings on the floor, just as an idea of how much got cut off.]

Does that mean I have your seal of approval? I'm honored, Ishimaru-chi!

Hey, no problem. I like talking to you, and I'm glad you're talking.
