June Bonding

WHO: Tohru Adachi, and open unless noted
WHERE: All porter cities
WHEN: The month of June
WHAT: Adachi did not have a good month last month, and he's trying to both recover and deal with his sins coming up to bite him.
WARNINGS: Talk about dismemberment and body parts growing back. About after the third week, Gemini is going to be "bugging" Adachi, so she'll be spying in on all his interactions with with other people.

[ I Need a Hand Here | All Cities ]
[ Adachi was fairly miserable at the start of the month, though he still tried to keep up his work. His left arm was slung up in a special sling, one that kept his hand, or lack thereof, from immediate view. Just because it was out of sight, didn't mean it was out of mind. It hurt like hell, and the painkillers were doing practically doing nothing. ]

[ He has to stop a lot, and he's most likely to be found in a cafe or somewhere else cool, or at a local park in this month, especially during the first week. ]


[ You Kids and Your Technology | All Cities ]
[ By the mid-point of the second week of June, Adachi was fitted with a temporary prosthetic, but it doesn't do much to help him. By that point it was obvious that something was growing on the stump that remained, and it hurt like hell. The temporary prosthetic hid the weird... thing growing out of his wrist, and allowed him at least hold things with both hands, but it wasn't much helpful beyond that. ]

[ By this point he's taken less work, and is trying to relax more while keeping himself distracted from the pain. Reading and listening to music help, and he's easily found in libraries around the porter cities. He can also be found at an electronics shop, trying to find something he could use exclusively for playing music... but the only thing he ever had for that other than his phone was a discman a million years ago. ]

[ He... needs help. A lot of help. ]


[ Gliding Off | Heropa ]
[ Adachi at least waited until he got his prosthetic before he tried putting on a pair of ice skates again. ]

[ He's also determined to keep his promise to leave Yuri alone, hanging around the rink before closing time to make sure the kid showed up or not before going to get his skates and put them on. Lacing them with one hand and one kind of hand was interesting, and it took him several tries before he finally managed to get them tight enough to actually use. ]

[ He's sorely out of practice, and it shows with how many times he falls just trying to stay upright. It's a lot harder to get back up to his feet, but he manages it, keeping close to the barrier until he gets used to it again. Adachi started feeling comfortable again by the time he got his music player, and once he had it, he tried skating with the music playing in his ears. He isn't doing anything strenuous, but he is just letting his feet move in ways that felt right, trying to get used to the feel of just moving on the ice again. ]


[ Taking a Page Out of a Book | Heropa | Yusuke ]
[ Eventually Adachi's propensity to be restless and board caught up to him, and he had a pleasant reminder that he had his Persona back. He almost went out to his little training spot by himself, but then he remembered Yusuke, and his offer to train before. Hopefully he still wasn't annoyed with him... it's been a few weeks and he's short a hand; he had to forgive him a little bit, right? ]

At the spot.

Train? y/n


[ He was pretty sure Yusuke would understand what he meant. In the meantime, he would lean against a tree trunk and fidget, glancing around and hoping the teen would show up. ]

[ With the ear buds in, Adachi most likely wouldn't hear the doors to the rink swinging open and closed to let the new person in after closing time. He has as long as it takes for Viktor to put on his skates and glide out on the ice towards him purposefully to notice someone else is actually in the rink with him. ]

[ Except suddenly that scraping sound seems to be a lot louder?? Where are those detective instincts that tell you when someone is close by, huh?

Though I guess Viktor dropping his hands on Adachi's shoulders to make him stop would be a good a clue as anything else. ]

[ One of Viktor's hand also raise to his ear, but not for the earbud. Oh no, he's pinching it between his fingers and pulls on it, turning back to the barrier opening and dragging Adachi towards it by said ear. ]

[ Viktor doesn't say anything until they're off the ice, still pulling on Adachi's ear until he can maneuver him onto a bench. Once he's sitting, Viktor crosses his arms and LOOMS over him. This is probably as close to mad as Adachi has ever seen the Russian. ]

I could ask you the same thing! What are you doing on the ice when you're still healing from a big injury?

[personal profile] fourlevels 2017-06-02 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
It's still an injury that your body is trying to heal! If you push your body for skating, that's less your body can do to make the healing go faster—or heal at all! It's spending it's energy elsewhere!

I told you to stay off the ice for two days because your feet were just bruised and bleeding. What do you think a lost hand would warrant?!

Where do you think the nanites get their energy from?

[ Not that Viktor knew either, but it sounded like a good argument. ]
fourlevels: (vn114)

[personal profile] fourlevels 2017-06-02 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
So you do something that will potentially cause you more injury?

[ He uncrosses his arms from his chest to set his hands on his hips, giving Adachi a Look from his greater, standing height. ]

No more skating until your hand is back to normal.

[ Viktor had opened his mouth to argue back when it just. Closes. And gives him another Look. ]

... Did you just make a pun out of it?

[ There's a twitch of a smile before Viktor's glaring again; at leastit was a little funny to him? ]

Out of those skates. Now.

[ Yusuke is still mildly annoyed. Not as much as he was before, but things here seemed to get worse immediately after getting better. No forward momentum, just the world's continuous need to drag you back down to earth. His annoyance isn't with Adachi, not really. The new status quo is different from the one he is used to, and subject to change without notice. It's a lot to adjust to.

He still comes to their previous meeting spot, after sending Adachi a message to confirm. ]


Good morning, Adachi.

[ But...seriously. ]

Are you sure you're in a condition to do this?

[ Adachi is daring a Russian with both several pounds of muscle and inches on him, not to mention he's a world class athlete. Yeah, there's only one way this was going to go.

So Viktor gets down to unlace those stupid skates for him. He pulls one leg at a time, turning so his back is to Adachi so he can tuck the leg under his armpit to hold it still, leaving his hands free to unlace the skate. ]
