Characters: Kidou Yuuto and you!
Setting: Everywhere and anywhere, January 13th
Format: I'm going action but I'll match!
Summary: Kidou's been in the tower for ten years and so he goes about his day like usual also soccer
Warnings: He's a huge grumpy grump, maybe some swearing but not a lot, and also tags will be coming from kouteipengeenno1!

Setting A. Dorm halls

[Kidou took a bit of time getting out of bed this morning. After he initially woke up, he stayed laying in bed for a few more minutes, staring at the ceiling. Another day in the tower, huh? It's been ten years, each morning the same. Sometimes he felt like he shouldn't even bother getting up... but then he would remember that he still had people here he cared about and wanted to see.

With a sigh, he sat up and rubbed his eyes a bit before he got ready for the day.

After sliding one of his swords sheath onto his waist, he heads out of his dorm.]

Setting B. Cafeteria

[A bit later into the day, Kidou can be seen in the cafeteria eating some spaghetti. Though he seems to be taking his time with the food.. in fact, its more like he's playing with it rather than eating it, twirling it around his fork or idly knocking a tomato around with his fork. His cup of water looks untouched, too.

He eventually pushes his plate to the side, resting his arms on the table and letting out a sigh.]

Setting C. Floor thirty two

[A bit far into the forest, you might notice Kidou standing absolutely still for a few minutes. Upon closer inspection, he appears to have his right hand firmly gripped onto the hilt of his sword. He stands there quietly with his eyes closed as the wind slowly blows, it looks like he might just stay like that forever...

However, a small leaf from a tree not too far away from Kidou gets swept into the wind, and once it's close, Kidou opens his eyes and draws his sword quickly, slicing the leaf in half.

He holds out his hand and the two halves of the leaf land onto it before being swept into the wind again. He follows the leaves with his gaze for a moment before taking in a deep breath, and getting in position again.

If you bother him, chances are he heard you coming minutes ago and already knows you're there, so he won't be too upset if you interrupt his sword practice.]

Setting D. Meadow

[In the meadow today, you can find Kidou with a very old and worn soccer ball. He isn't wearing a soccer uniform though, but he looks like he isn't having any difficulty kicking the ball anyway. His skills are far better than when he was younger. He can kick the ball much harder, even without using a hissatsu it was like the ball was covered in some kind of power, he's a lot quicker, he can clear the field in half the time he used to, and his ball handling was amazing. He could kick the ball off his knee without stumbling at all, and he can even do more fancy tricks with it like rolling it off his shoulders back onto his knee.

Whenever he comes to the meadow to play soccer, he feels like he can forget about reality for a while, so he's almost always spending time kicking the ball around each day. You can join him, but he might not go easy on you!]

Setting E. Aquarium

[Ah, it was so nice to see the penguins still in the tower even after this long. If there was one thing he loved about this place was the small tank of these cute birds. He sat crouched in front of the tank with a fond smile on his face. Watching them waddle around and play reminded him of so long ago, when he and his friends were still pretty new to this place. It was so nostalgic...]

Setting F. Anywhere else

[If any of those settings aren't to your liking, that's okay! Kidou will be in literally every floor of the tower today, so feel free to make up a scenario of your own!]

Comments

[kouteipengeenno1]

[...dad? That seemed a little peculiar to Kidou, how this man would say "dad". Usually when people say things like that, they would refer to someone's mother, as mothers are usually the people that teach you things like that... and in the case where Kidou only has a father, it makes this a little more peculiar.

Maybe he's just overthinking about it though.

He lets out a sigh and slides his plate back over, picking up his fork to start eating.]

..if you don't mind me asking, what is your name? [That being said before he puts a forkful of noodles into his mouth.]

[lounges]

[ ...about time. He summons up the widest smirk imaginable, as if he had won off all of the property on a Monopoly board. ]

Fudou Akio. Nice to make your acquaintance.

[kouteipengeenno1]

[As soon as he hears Fudou's name, the fork in his hand drops to the table and he stands up abruptly.]

Fud-- [Oh hold on a second he kind of still had some noodles in his mouth and he ended up inhaling them in surprise.

...he might be choking a bit.]

[lounges]

Oi, oi! Don't go dying on me now.

[ He quickly reaches over the table to pat him firmly on the back. ]

[kouteipengeenno1]

[With the help of Fudou, he's able to swallow his food and he stands there catching his breath for a few seconds before talking again.]

When did you get here?

[lounges]

[ Fudou sighs as he flops back down and ruffles his hair. ]

You tell me.

[kouteipengeenno1]

I'm guessing it can't have been too soon... even though you are obviously much older.

[He sits back down himself and lets out a sigh.]

I can't believe even after ten years, this place would bring you here again.

[lounges]

[ Ten years... huh. He picks up his fork again to twirl it around his fingers. ]

So that's why you didn't recognize me. And here I thought you were actually cracking a joke for once.

[kouteipengeenno1]

[He nods.]

I was beginning to think I'd never see you again, to be honest. [And then he cracks a smile.]

I'm surprised to see that you've grown out your hair so long.

[lounges]

[ Fudou looked unimpressed, almost indignant even. ]

That's simple. You wouldn't wear your old goggles for ten years, would you?

[ Though let's be honest, there's no way he'd keep the same bald/mohawk hairstyle as his fourteen year old self. Man, that phase was pretty wretched. ]

Though you do wear those lame glasses everyday now.

[kouteipengeenno1]

... [And his hand goes to those said goggles which are around his neck. Think again Fudou.

Though he's going to change the subject before Fudou has a chance to say anything--]

...lame glasses?

[lounges]

[ Well. Not everyone can be a Fudou. ]

Ah, super lame. I'd say you looked like a dragonfly.

[kouteipengeenno1]

[Who would even want to be a Fudou tbh]

A dragonfly? Really?

[lounges]

Really. And I don't doubt your kids made fun of you behind your back.

[kouteipengeenno1]

My kids? [WHAT ARE YOU SAYING THERE FUDOU]


I have children?

[lounges]

Isn't that obvious?

[kouteipengeenno1]

[He just stares at Fudou for a second, silent as he thinks. No, there aren't little Kidous running around here so he doesn't have kids... what was he thinking??

But wait a second where did this talk of glasses and kids even come from hold up a sec]


... Do you remember being here before, Fudou?

[lounges]

[ Man, this is why Kidou's no fun. ]

... I think that should be obvious by now.

[kouteipengeenno1]

[Kidou "Always Has a Stick Up His Ass" Yuuto]

So you've been back home this whole time? And you really don't remember this tower at all?

[lounges]

Sorry, but I've always been Japan, not some crazy prison tower.

[kouteipengeenno1]

Your Japan wasn't destroyed then.. and I was there? [This must be an alternate Fudou then...]

Well I guess that explains a few things... and I'm guessing you'll want a real explanation of what this place really is.
