WHO: Kaneki + YOU
WHERE: Any imPort cities
WHEN: During August
WHAT: Day in the life of Kaneki Ken
WARNINGS: Cannibalism
[ Cemetery ; Night ]
[ Kaneki is registered and as such, he has access to dead bodies the government provides, all legal and all donated to science (which imports fall under, so it's alright). He goes to the laboratories in De Chima once a month to get his meal, but in fact, he is not a fan of this method. He downright hates it. His paranoia tells him that they take the chance to study him and keep an eye on him, as well on the amount of flesh he eats (which is the reason why Kaneki makes sure to always take one body a month. Nothing more, nothing less) and in a way try to control him like that.
But one body a month is not nearly enough for him. He shares his house and food with two other ghouls, Hinami and Touka, and makes sure there is food for all three of them. Kaneki is also a glutton; ever since he started consuming ghouls in order to gain power, he became a glutton just like Rize used to be. And in this world, he doesn't have other ghouls to consume, but he is still a glutton and thus he eats A LOT. And besides, it also gives him power, a power he is thirsty for. So that's why he gathers food from other places that aren't controlled by the government. Touka helps, sure, but she probably doesn't dream on just how much Kaneki actually eats.
He raids hospitals and morgues, mortuaries and cemeteries, in search for bodies to steal and consume. He never sticks to the same town and certainly goes to cities where imPorts don't reside so there won't be attention towards this matter; or if there is, they won't downright scream "imPort" if they start investigating. And this is what he is doing tonight: raiding a cemetery. About six hours earlier, during the afternoon, there was a funeral and Kaneki made sure to drop by to see where the grave would be; once that's located, he decides to come back later, during the night, to dig out the corpse.
It's not pretty, but this sort of thing is a lot safer than raiding hospitals. Missing bodies from hospitals are, after all, a lot easier to spot, while in cemetery, he just has to put everything back in place before down. It's easy when you have 8 tentacles on your back to help you. wearing his mask and usual black clothes, Kaneki easily digs out the corpse, which he will put inside a black body bag and set aside for a moment as he closes the coffin and puts the dirt back in place with the help of his kagune.
Though he may look distracted, he WILL hear if anyone approaches. ]
[ Library ]
[ Ever since Hinami-chan arrived, kaneki has decided he'd continue to home teach her the best he could. Which means books are necessary, though sometimes he isn't all that sure what exactly should he be teaching her. Literature is easy to him, but she should learn math too, science, history... and now as a hero, maybe she should train a bit considering everything that happens in this place - not as a ghoul, but maybe running or swimming?
regardless, he is still trying to figure out what is best, and Kaneki decides a trip to the library might help. See what school books are there for Hinami's age, and maybe try to teach her those. In the end, he finds many, yes, but also confusing; after all, the way Hinami-chan was learning, was different from this world's curriculum. He'd have to figure out, but of course that means grabbing a whole bunch of school years for children between 11 and 16, and carrying them around as he tries to find a decent dictionary. Maybe an English-Japanese dictionary as well..? Sure, the communicator can be accessed mentally to translate everything Hinami needs, but... ] ... feels more realistic I suppose...
[ he mutters those words and decides to archive the question for when he is checking out the books.
However, before he does, he passes by the international section, checking what authors from his country he might find. Or from other countries, too. Kaneki even places the school books on the floor, to pass his hand through the bindings of the books on the shelves, smiling softly as he sees titles he recognizes. he hasn't read in such a long time... he hasn't enjoyed reading in such a long time too. He feels like he lost his touch with the books, that he is no longer able to picture everything clearly as he reads them and thus he can't truly enjoy them.
Kaneki misses it so.
If you miss him at the library, though, you might find him on the streets bumping against you. With the many school books on his hands - easy to carry for a ghoul, sure, but still many that take his attention - Kaneki eventually bumps into someone, and some of the books fall on the floor] Ah- I'm sorry.
[ Shopping ]
[ Kaneki is certainly not a fan of shopping, but he has to sometimes. Sure, he saves a lot of money on food, but there are still necessary basic things he needs such as toilet paper, laundry detergent and TONS OF COFFEE. In fact, that's the only thing he seems to get, as the other things and buried underneath the huge about of coffee, all different brands and types, and most of them still in beans and not instant. If anyone gives him a weird look or not, he doesn't seem to care, and the people that work on the local super market are already familiar with Kaneki's... obsession with caffeine.
If he isn't filling up his shopping cart with coffee, you might find him over the girl's section, grabbing a perfume, if only super confused to what sort of perfume he should pick. he is sniffing various kinds and none seem to please him, making a face whenever a perfume is too strong for his tates. If anyone is nearby, they'll notice cute hairclips with cupcakes on them, clearly meant for a little girl, and he also has a cute handbag. Whoever this is for, they are clearly spoiled by Kanekihe is a nice big brother ok ok ]

Kaneki hums ] She is very sheltered. She never went to school and... she doesn't know many things. [ kaneki places the perfume inside cart, eyes returning to the hair pins and accessories. He would buy the whole section if he had enough money ]
... She is a ghoul, Hide. All ghouls are wary of being found out by humans. She will be wary of you.
no subject
He looks down, a small sigh escaping him as he gestures towards some polka-dotted hairbows.]
I would be kind of surprised if she wasn't wary of me at all, to be honest. Especially after what happened to her. [Her opinion on humans must not be very high, to be honest. He tips his head to the side, waving a hand.]
Take your time and warm her up to the idea first, then. I don't wanna jump in and scare her, yanno?
no subject
Yes. She is very shy.
... but she is very cute once she warms up to you. Very sweet, too, even after all that happened.
no subject
He can't imagine how that would feel for a barely-middleschool child.]
Then I look forward to her warmin' up. I'll do my best to make her comfortable.
What kind'a things does she like? Maybe I can get her a gift, too.
no subject
She likes to read books. I teach her to read since she never went to school.
She also likes cute things- [ kaneki waves the accessory he has in his hands ] Hinami is still learning about the "outside world".
no subject
[He seems to think that over a moment, before pushing a fist down into his own open palm.]
I got it. I'll give her a picture book of wild and exotic birds and animals. How about that?? [Picture books are WAY better than novels!!!]
no subject
but that is actually an amazing idea. Kaneki blinks, slightly surprised Hide got it on the spot ]
I think she'd like that a lot. She might like you if you keep that up.
no subject
He grins wide, folding his arms behind his head with a giddy little laugh.]
Then I'll make sure it happens. I'll go shopping for it after work today.
[...Which... he should probably get back to.]
no subject
And kaneki has chosen the accessories to buy Hinami, so he is ready to go. Coffee and girly stuff. perfect shopping cart. ]
no subject
no subject
...Wait. That was an insult, wasn't it?
no subject
Sort. he smiles, amused ]
Maybe. But it sounds like a good plan.
Also - don't you have shopping to do? [ kaneki will accompany him, it's fine. and try to get him to buy healthy food. ]
no subject
I got distracted again.
I gotta' go pick up stuff for dinner, and some more protein bars for work.
no subject
no subject
I don't neeeeeeeeeeeeeeed a babysitter.
[CROSSES HIS ARMS.]
...But you can come if you want.
no subject
Kaneki simply smiles ] Alright.- Let's go then.
[ he moves his shopping cart, passing by Hide, and his hand reaches towards the back of his neck. His fingers touch the skin, then the soft hair, before Kaneki pulls his hand away and continues walking.
Quick intimate touches, basically. This is how Kaneki rolls. ]
no subject
He follows behind the other, giving him a small bump with his shoulder as they walk.
Like this... things could stay like this, for now, and he could be content with it.]
