[ It's Monday... Monday evening...

Monday evening and- ]

Did you set the TV to record my show?

[ Elda Marker has a pointed concern here while he's working on his homework, having just gotten back from some shopping for their dinner tonight. She realized a bit too late that if he didn't she's missed the first thirty minutes!! ]

[toushiro]

[ toushiro's sitting in front of the tv on the couch, one of the house cats napping beside him. he doesn't look back at her, simply waving a hand as if to say "yeah, yeah". ]

It's still going. I can change the channel back.

[matchbreaker]

[ Phew. A sigh of relief - ] No, no, watching it with commercials's the worst anyway! Besides, I've got to make dinner!

[ Thumbs up! ... And a ruffle of his hair, affectionately. Sue her. She's going to glide past him to the kitchen proper but she calls back: ]

You've finished with things already?!

[toushiro]

[ a grumpy sigh as she ruffles his hair, but he turns the volume on the tv lower so he can hear her. ]

Yes, mother. I finished my homework a while ago.

[ his stomach grumbles quietly. hm...that's a good sign for elda, at least, that he'll eat up tonight. ]

Do you need help making dinner?

[overtwohundred]

hey kiddo you done with your homework yet

[toushiro]

Yes. A while ago. Why do you ask?

[overtwohundred]

just want to make sure you're furthering your education like a good kid
though i think you're missing some
dunno, it's just a feeling though

[toushiro]

I'm fine.

Is there another reason why you're texting me?

5/25 or some other date around there after he first gets white hair

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . So what do you do when you're super worried about your Son but you don't want to make a Thing out of it but you also are super Worried and are doing a Fretting thing or something and you need to like Address it and maybe sit down and do a whole sort of like Talk and all but...

So.

Like.

Breakfast this morning is some of Toushiro's favorites which she actually made sure to get up before him to make. Surprise??? ]

[toushiro]

[ well.

it's not strange to have elda just randomly decide to pamper him; he's kind of used to it by now. so when toushiro heads downstairs and sees a plate of eggs, rice, and bacon with a side of watermelon slices and tea? he's not entirely surprised. it's more of a pleasant surprise if anything.

though..he also asks what the occasion is every time, so... ]

What's all this for?

[matchbreaker]

You came back last night with white hair.

[ Lik...e. Aren't you scared? she's scared. ]

Movie Night

[prometheanflame]

[Mohammed doesn't make a big deal out of a trip to the movies. They're here only because of the bingo hard, and if Toushiro is shy about new people, he won't impose familiarity on him.

And while both are getting something out of it (bingo and a social life), there's another opportunity for Mohammed. Hopefully the boy isn't that invested in dramas to care about being spoiled for the ending.

Mohammed sends a text that morning, telling him to wait outside the theater. The guy in the blue ascot is who you're looking for. And if he has some sort of spirit hanging around him, he's definitely someone from Retrospec.]

\o/

[toushiro]

[ toushiro's really not invested in movies at all, but actually? he'd rather not hear spoilers. he wants to at least enjoy the movie to its fullest while he's here. might as well since he won't plan on seeing it again.

he gets the text and heads out to the theater; he's right on-time, which is five minutes before their scheduled meeting time and he looks for the man in the blue ascot. he unfortunately will not be able to see the spirit, but he does spot mohammed right away. ]

...Hi.

[prometheanflame]

[That's the boy. Mohammed pockets his phone (still cracked) and walks up to Toushiro.]

Toushiro? It's good to see you.

[He's an adult you can trust, he conveys with a smile. One that will make sure you don't end up in trouble and get you home before curfew. One who, when smiling, actually looks his age rather than appears to be in his 30's.]

I already bought the tickets. Ready to go in?

7/17, action

[feistytrader]

[Silver has been around more lately.

That's not to say that he's around all the time, but he's finally started showing up around dinner time, which isn't normal, and rather than go to the library, he's taken to hanging out in open spaces around the house. He's on a couch right now, in fact; his laptop's set aside next to him while he tries to sketch out a pretty strange scene of... It looks like a frozen lake, with a bunch of outstretched dragons that have also been frozen solid? That's about what it looks like. It's pretty sketchy, at that.

Come take a peek at his masterpiece(?), Toushiro.]

[toushiro]

[ toushiro's definitely noticed.

is it that silver's still attached to them? he must be; if he were hanging around any other families then toushiro wouldn't be seeing him around this much. it's like silver's never really left. weird. toushiro kind of appreciates it.

toushiro walks downstairs, into the living room to grab a snack while he actually plays games; he turns the corner, sees silver lounging around, and then takes a look at the laptop.

dragons? frozen solid?

huh. weird. ]

Drawing again?

[feistytrader]

[Silver looks at him for a moment, then scoots over and pats the spot next to him. Come on, join him.

He's going to have to tell him eventually. The more he puts it off, the worse it's going to be. But for now, that can wait.]

I've been trying to get down everything I remember. My memory isn't very good, so if I want to figure out anything, I'm gonna need it all down like this.

[He flips between the page he's one and another one; it's a much sketchier version of the same scene. After comparing the two a little more, he then flips to the other side of his sketchbook, which has quite a bit of shit now. He stops on the page with one of those dragons, only, you know. Not frozen. Hopefully he'll remember these ones again. It would be nice to get a clearer idea of what they look like.]

They're pretty cool, right?

[Texts He'll get on 8/24]

[matchbreaker]

Toushiro, where are you? I'll pick you up.
Toushiro I've not seen you since the convention.
Text me back, boy.
TEXT ME OR CALL ME IMMEDIATELY
Toushiro
Toushiro
TOUSHIRO
TOUSHIRO
THIS ISN'T FUNNY
I know you're not at home
If you want to be rebellious that's fine just tell me you're safe
Please, where are you, Toushiro?
Call me or text me as soon as you see this, please. I won't scold you, I promise.
Just tell me you're okay.
You aren't at the hospital, I tried

Your teachers don't know who you are. Neither does your ice skating instructor. This is something with Retrospec, isn't it? I'm going to kill them. I swear, you better respond to me as soon as you can. Please.
You did exist, right?
Your name is offline. I know I didn't imagine you. I can see pictures. All the hundreds we took when you were younger.
Toushiro, please be safe.
I'm sorry, I don't doubt you. You're a good boy.

Toushiro, I've been assigned to some crazy team by Retrospec. The phone wouldn't shut up about it so I followed through with it in order to try and figure out what's happened to you. I'll tell you what happens.
We found some woman who said you're in unreality, and we needed to volunteer to bring you back. Of course I did. I can't believe these people. Don't worry, this won't take that much longer, we just need to find some man in a library.

Be strong. I know you're strong. Your mother is going to rescue you, so please do your best.
I love you.
I will always love you.

[feistytrader]

[Around event start-]

Hey Toushiro, message me when you get this, okay?
If you get this.

Alright well, stay safe, I'm doing fine, I'll do my best to survive the jungle.
It's really damn green. It sort of hurts my eyes.

[around 8/14-]

Just throwing you a text to let you know that I'm still in one piece.
And I am coming back, so I'm not giving you any of that if I die nonsense.
Sorry if I've been pissing you off by calling you my little bro.
It just feels right. Messing up big time didn't change my feelings.
Although some big bro I am, right?
I can't even be there when I need to be the most.
Hope that sword's holding up well.
