August Bonding
WHO: Tohru Adachi (with some open prompts)
WHERE: Largely Heropa this month
WHEN: Through the month of August
WHAT: The last two months were hell on wheels for Adachi, and he's determined to focus on work getting his schedule back on track.
WARNINGS: None yet.
[ Early Morning | Heropa Streets | Viktor ]
[ Though he had promised he wouldn't be running away from Viktor that... didn't end up being the case. Once the rains had abated and allowed for him to go back home and recover from his cold, the horror of what he did finally set in. He had kissed a drunk man. If said drunk man hadn't been sober enough to push him away... well, he wouldn't have gone that far, but he certainly would have done a little more than just a kiss. How he felt about Viktor was getting way out of hand, and was definitely probably the reason for 90% of his problems. ]
[ Dammit, why did he have to be engaged? Or why did he have to be so free with his affections? This wouldn't be as much of a problem if either of those weren't a thing. Though as soon as such a though occurred to him, he had to smack himself. He wouldn't want to wish Yuuri into non-existence! Nor did he want Viktor to change the kind of person he was; that was part of what made him so damn likable! Why the hell was this so complicated?! ]
[ He knew he couldn't avoid Viktor forever, but he didn't want the chance of running into the others when he did either. So, Adachi opted for meeting him at the early morning workouts he had been missing out on for various reasons over the last couple months; seriously, if he managed to get through this month without any kind of serious injury, he'd be impressed. ]
[ Adachi stood there awkwardly once he approached, not sure what to even say after over a week of avoiding him. He rubbed at the back of his neck, before sheepishly raising his hand in greeting. ]
Y-yo!
[ Nailed it. ]
[ Night | Heropa Ice Rink | Open ]
Why are you still paying for this?
[ Adachi looked up from where he was writing out a check, raising an eyebrow at the ice rink owner. He was "awake" for once, staring up at him from around his "I rather be fishing" hat. ]
Your friends aren't coming around, you know.
[ A sour look came to Adachi's face at that, and he ripped out the check, slapping it down. ]
Just take my money, and let me get my skates.
[ He was out on the ice before long, blades cutting along the surface as he started on his circles, but he wasn't really focused on it. He really didn't need the reminder that the others weren't around that much, that him trying to learn this was probably going to be for nothing. But, dammit, he wanted to do this; there was so much he wanted to say and didn't have a lot of time to say it, or the words to say it. He had to do this now. ]
[ Adachi went drifting from circles to some attempt at a program, not that it was very much of anything. There was still a lot he didn't understand, especially how things were supposed flow together. Anyone that came in would be able to see he made an attempt at trying to understand, though. A small notebook was sticking out from his dufflebag where he dropped it, with the names of moves and positions along with scribbled stick figure drawings giving an idea of what they were supposed to look like. There were a lot of notes on the margins as well, mostly consisting of, "Hands go where!??!?!" ]
[ He's trying at it! A little harder than he tries at anything else at least. ]
[ Private Communication to Persona Users ]
So uh...
I know there's like.
A lot.
That we need to talk about with each other and all that? But uh... we've all got the same power, and we're all more or less on the same side. It's probably best if we at least prepare ourselves to fight like a team if we need to.
So uh
I'm totally up for training with any one of you guys. I need to find a new place to do it now that my old one's been compromised, but we should try to get to know each other's skills better.
[ He really hoped that sounded sincere, because he was definitely trying to be. ]
[ Wild Card ]
[ When Adachi isn't busy with others, he'll be all around the porter cities working various cases for his native clients. He's up for being stopped for just about anything. ]

I don't need you dragging each other back to my apartment looking pathetic. [She's pretty sure there is still blood on her carpet from the last time.]
Private;
Let's not have any of that again.
Ever.
Especially if it's me.
Private;
First sign of anything going too far and I'm calling it. Seriously.
Private;
No slacking off in your tentacle ship then.
(*≧▽≦)
Private;
Show Necronomicon some respect.
Private;
A cool one.
But still.
ƪƪ’▿’)
Private;
＼＼٩(๑`^´๑)۶／／
Private;
wait
Why is it a UFO?
Isn't the Necronomicon a book?
Shouldn't it be a floating book with tentacles?
Private;
Maybe it's because my cognition of information is more based in data. Necronomicon was a Grimoire about the truth behind the various ancient cosmic beings so...¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Private;
Didn't the Necronomicon appear in books written by a crazy shut-in that would sit by his windows and stare at people on the street?
Private;
...I was a shut-in you know. I could consider that comment insulting.
Private;
I didn't know.
Sorry.
Private;
It's why I have problems with crowds...I'm getting better though!
Private;
But you know; good on you for working through it.
Private;
...And thanks. Hasn't been easy but...Seeing the world?
Experiencing new things? It's worth it.
Private;
But things can be fun. Especially in this world.
Private;
I know if...when I go back it'll be a clean slate sort of, but still...
Private;
[ What he wouldn't give to be able to go to Dojima, "Look! I'm okay!" ]
Private;
sorry.
To be honest, though, I think there's good and bad to the whole "you won't remember if/when you go back" scenario. It can skew more one way or another for people--it's pretty even on my end.
Private;
Before you guys showed up, going back home seemed out of the question, especially after everything that's happened.
If Akechi-kun is right and I do eventually get released from jail though... well, maybe there's hope for me no matter where I go.
[ It was something, right? Even if he ended up back at square one, it meant that he could have a chance to get back to this point. ]
But we gotta make the most of things while we're here, right?
