WHO: Kaneki + anyone
WHERE: Cities, forests, and so on
WHEN: Before February South Korea/Space mission
WHAT: Kaneki and his powers
WARNINGS: None for now.
OOC NOTE: This post will allow characters to meet Kaneki's power, however I'm looking for less of a shock/horrified meeting and instead something more positive, since I'm looking to have Kaneki see this particular power in a more positive light. If you do want to do something else with it but the prompts don't fit or you would rather play out a different reaction, contact me through PM or plurk![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

[ Kaneki's is a ghoul, and like every ghoul he has a special predatory organ which in this world is considered part of his "power" - an extra organ that comes out of his lower back and can take many different shapes and forms. The usual form are four red tentacles or two large centipede tails but because Kaneki is capable of kagune manipulation, it can shape and reshape itself to look more like hands or even "wings". There are many mysteries involving it, from a certain sentience and autonomy, to the fact that no one in Kaneki's world truly knows how they came to appear.
Kaneki doesn't particularly like it. He associates everything that makes him a ghoul as violent and disgusting, something that most do not feel comfortable with (naturally), fear and hate, and in return, kaneki dislikes it as well. A part of himself which he doesn't like or shows, which he tries to keep hidden most of the time because even if he doesn't say it out loud, it's something he fears he will be disliked for. And Kaneki tries so hard not to be disliked.
But before he left, Charles tried to teach Kaneki that he didn't have to hate or dislike a part of himself like that. It's hard, of course, but when someone so promptly tells you that you aren't as disgusting as you think you are, it stays. So, sometimes, when Kaneki thinks no one is looking, he allows the kagune to come out and to just see it, look at it for a while, and even dares to touch it. There isn't much he feels for it still, but at least it's less negative than before, when he only saw it as death.
When he thinks no one is looking, there are actually some places to find him.
OPTION A: roof
Kaneki can be found at a top of a roof not truly looking at anything in particular. When he feels he is alone or that most won't notice his presence, he brings out his kagune - two large centipede tails that rest on his lap and around him. Whenever he touches them, they react, all legs moving and the scales shinning red like a wave passing through the organ. At best he looks curious, watching the reaction. The building isn't very tall, so anyone could easily move to the roof if they are curious enough; or maybe someone is just passing by and notices Kaneki and his weird appendage.
OPTION B: forest
Forests and more rural areas just outside cities and usually where kaneki trains, away from everyone, away from where others would look at him when he is using his "powers". Kaneki's kagune has taken a different form now, wrapping around his shoulders and arms, and protruding like extra legs coming out of his back, and as he stops using it to cut down trees, one of those extra "legs" moves away from kaneki and actually detaches itself from the main body, wrapping around Kaneki's leg. He watches it, focused, and then causes it to move away for a second, before he calls it back to reattach itself. From the looks of it, it tires him a lot to detach the kagune, so eventually he just sits down on the floor with a tiny gasp.
OPTION C: outside the coffee shop
The coffee shop was still closed when kaneki had to bring some new ingredients in; his provides and distributors gave him a call and kindly let what he needed in front of the shop, but most things he has to bring in himself. With super strength isn't hard, of course, and kaneki readily grabs most boxes, but he can be lazy sometimes. So when he thinks no one is looking, he brings out one of his red tentacles and grabs that last box with it. It's much easier like this, honestly, and sometimes, a lot of things would be so much easier if he just used his kagune. ]
