[Everything happens so much. After everyone started transforming, things have gotten... Worse. Mostly because of everyone losing their minds - the transformation wasn’t too bad, even if the wings are a bit of a hassle and he keeps cutting his lip with his teeth. He finds himself worried, though, and... He hopes everyone is okay.

Ryuu is one of the first people he thinks of - the man was just so nice, and he seemed so patient and under. It makes Kaede want to keep him safe, even if he’s not sure where to find him when the world is going to pieces.

Hopefully he has his phone on him.]

Hey, it’s Kaede. Where are you? Are you safe? I know everything is...

Well, it is what it is. I don’t want to be a bother but I’d like to see you.

[He just!! Needs to see that he’s okay.]

[gunshow]

[ while it's not exactly his first rodeo with citywide destruction and wild transformations seizing the populace, ryuu doesn't think he's ever really someone who will get used to this kind of thing - he's tucked away safely indoors, luckily. and likewise, he's trying to keep tabs on everyone while the chaos brews outside, though it seems in this once case, he's been beaten to the punch. relief sweeps through him and he answers almost immediately. ]

Kaede! Thank goodness...

I'm at my place. I know it's probably best for me to stay out of the way when things get like this...
I want to see you too...but will you be okay getting here?

[monostich]

[It’s a relief, that Ryuu is okay. Still, he wants to make sure, because he knows it’s easy to lie. He doesn’t think Ryuu is the type, but...

He just. Wants to know. That’s all. And maybe just... Make sure he stays out of danger.]

I’ll be fine. I have magic, remember? Nobody will even know I’m passing by.

[He’s already on his way, anyways. It’s a little work to make himself look invisible, but... It’ll be fine.]

[gunshow]

Oh, Aizawa! Hello!

[ very much alive thank u ]

How have you been? Resting up from all the wild things that happened, I hope.

how did i miss this

[lacrimals]

I've been fine. With hope, we won't have to go through that chaos again. [ He did actually get fucked up from trying to contain all those transformed monsters, but he got healed up, so it's not an issue for him. ]

I was just checking to make sure you were okay, so ... [ He has nothing to say now. Bye??? Unless Ryuu wants to keep chatting with him. He's not the best at conversation, sadly. ]

text; after the festival...

[tennacious]

( it's one relatively nice day, one where tenn is free to move outside of their apartment building and do some training--- choreography. the dancing. no singing, but humming something that would get him to keep moving.

and... then.

yeah. )

Ryuu! Are you okay?

( the first person he texts as soon as he feels the tails ruin yet ANOTHER pair of good pants. damn. )

[gunshow]

[ ryuu's still at home being the domestic goddess he is - probably setting up to make enough dinner to feed them and all of the idolish kids (and then some -) ]

Tenn...? I'm fine! Right where you left me. Did something happen?

[tennacious]

It's happening again... ugh, can you bring me something to wrap around my waist so it'll cover me up?

( because until then? he's not moving. who knows what might show! )

[dissimilates]

I've been thinking of you.

[gunshow]

Is that so?

[koboreta]

Tsunashi-san, do you remember telling me to be more selfish? I know you've said it multiple times by now, but it's been on my mind...

So I have a selfish request.

[gunshow]

Sougo-kun, hello! I did tell you that, didn't I? I'm glad you've been giving it some thought.

I'll do my best to hear you out, so don't hold back!

[koboreta]

In that case...

I'd like to take photos of you. Photos for my eyes only.

[festoso]

[It’s been a while since he’s spoken to Ryuu, and it’s time to meddle and fuss and bully.]

Tsunashi-san, are you busy today?

[gunshow]

[ a wee lamb always happy to see a familiar face and none the wiser ]

Hello, Mitsuki-kun. I'm free today! Was there something you needed?

[festoso]

It's just been a while since we've seen each other, and I wanted to make sure you're doing well! Also maybe show off a little, if that's okay!

jk it's TAKO TUESDAY

[goodfaiths]

[ Monster time approaches and Riku finds himself transforming into a kraken yet again. He feels the same sensation he did the first time around -- the abnormal feeling of something sprouting out of him. Yeah. Tentacles. Anyway, he's lucky that he's near a pool when the process starts to kick in. It would've been quite a sight for innocent bystanders to see: A poor lonely octopus in the middle of the street. No legs, crawling towards the nearest body of water.

Thankfully, this is not the case, and his feet -- for however long they're still around -- take him into the lobby of a hotel. He promptly blitzes past the reception area, much to the staff's chagrin, and launches himself into the swimming pool, fully clothed. The locals are scared off thanks to the tentacles that are starting to sprout from his body, and yeah, he's gonna need a new pair of jeans after this... But at least he's in a body of water, even if he's pretty much soaking wet. He can chill. For now.

Will someone else join him in his suffering? Only time will tell. ]

[gunshow]

[ a hotel isn't his first choice. but it's better than the confines of a single bath tub, better than a silty lake bottom - the oceans here are far and foreign, and with a lack of anywhere else familiar feeling to go, a big swimming pool is about the best he can do to curb the awkwardness of, well. all these leg problems.

luckily, he still has his legs by the time he makes his way to the familiar hotel lobby. the gembond cycle is coming around again, and while he gets on with his sapphire a bit better than he probably would, say, a ruby, it's a trial every time. so when he finds the staff already looking a bit flustered, he pauses to make sure nothing dangerous is happening before making his way to the poolside. until he gets his bearings, this seems safest... a little well-kept secret to hide himself away in when he transforms.

or it would be, were it not already occupied. brows drawing up in wonder, it's less that there's somebody already there, and more that it's somebody familiar. there's really no mistaking him, is there? ]

Riku-kun...?

[ a gentle venture, so he doesn't startle him. ]

[goodfaiths]

[ The sound of a familiar voice is startling, and with the pool area being practically empty, Ryuu's voice is clearer and more striking than ever. Riku looks up in the midst of removing his shirt, pulling it up to his collarbone before he stops to look at Ryuu like a deer caught in headlights. ]

Tsunashi-san?

[ He finishes pulling his shirt off and lays it on the concrete in front of him. ]

What are you --

[ ...Ah. He feels one of his tentacles peek out of the water, and he lets out a gasp before he pushes it back down. Ryuu may be aware of Riku's sapphire, but nevertheless, Riku is still embarrassed to show his senior a form like this one.

His physical transformation seems to have settled in; all that's left is for the personality changes to kick in as well. Maybe that'll help him relax. ]

Ryuu...
Happy birthday.
Make sure you check your bed when you have the chance.

( the next time that ryuu makes his way to his bed, there will be a little white box tied up neatly with a pink ribbon. inside of it? a pendant but with darker blue gems laid set on the dots. underneath, a white card with a pink heart with a small amount of glitter inside the ink has been drawn with words below:

'i might not be able to cook like you, but i can think of other things we can do.' )

[gunshow]

[ truth be told, his bed isn't the first place he'd expect to check for a surprise - even after his long months in either cosmic city, among moons and gems alike. so much that the text causes his cheeks to flush a little while he's out running errands that morning, even moreso for the sender of said text. phone tucked away for the remainder of his trip, he manages to take care of his tasks in spite of knowing what day it is, bustling through the door to their house not long after, groceries and such in hand.

it only takes him a few minutes to tuck away his purchases before making his way upstairs to his bedroom, heartbeat picking up as he spots the little white box. out comes the beautiful necklace, something he knows was chosen with care, and the note written with an equal amount of it. chain threaded carefully in sea-worn fingers, ryuu steps into the hall with a warm: ]

Tenn?

[ is he nearby still? laying in wait for his discovery? ]
