these days have opened up my eyes; [Open Post]

Who: Ken and whomever wants to encounter him.
Where: Kitchen, training gym, games car. (And wildcard option.)
When: Between February platform and the healing/time reversal plot.
What: Ken's getting used to train life... and also makes A Mistake.
Warnings: Training prompt has suicidal imagery (thanks Persona 3) and the closed prompt has severe depression warnings.


[Kitchen Duty]

Ken is on red team, despite the orange hoodie he's wearing, and that means apparently one of his chores is to make food for other people. It might not be the prettiest, but he'll do what he can. He doesn't bother much with the avocado though, instead serving up a couple of plates of omurice to set out for whoever drifts past. It takes him a little bit to start working on some of the other things - the pasta is boiling away and he's wandering around trying to familiarize himself with where everything is.

Sometimes he's poking around looking for storage containers or having to climb up onto the counter to reach things, but he's always careful to clean off the counter afterwards.


[Training] (cw: suicidal imagery)

Ken is no slouch when it comes to training, and he's found the climbing ropes. He scales the large structure easily, rolling off of it onto a mat and springing up, miming stabbing a spear into something. He can easily be found doing handstands or practicing rolling or doing all manner of gymnastic-like exercises.

When no one's looking, he takes out his Evoker and presses it to his head, pulling the trigger and letting Nemesis take some shots at a training dummy with lightning. He presses a hand to his chest when she manifests a spear and stabs the dummy herself. It hurts, but it's the only spear he has right now.


[Games]

He can't practice forever. Once he settles down a little bit he heads into the game car on occasion. He's not all that hard to find - occasionally he's on one of the VR games, but more often he's playing solitaire or looking at the Duel Monster cards. He's studied the notes left nearby carefully, so all that remains is to try to build a deck.

... Somehow.


[Wildcard]

While he's found a few cars to frequent, he's still exploring. It's easy to find him in practically any car.


[Field Trip to the Darkness] (closed to Vexen) (cw: severe depression)

Vexen is not a hard person to find. He's very tall and the black cloak makes it easy to pick him out, even from behind. He's about to call out to the man to say hello, but suddenly a dark-colored portal opens up and the man disappears into it. Frowning, Ken runs in after him.

That was a mistake.

It's dark, so dark, everything is dark. He can feel something cold gripping onto him, Nemesis' whirring getting louder and louder, somehow sinister. What is he doing here? What is he trying to prove? There's nothing he can do to make anything right. There's no point in him continuing to pretend like he's innocent at all - he hasn't been for a long time. He can't rely on anyone here.

Better to just be alone, or just be nothing at all.

He suddenly stumbles out into brightness, a black-coated individual in front of him, but he's not really seeing Vexen. He's trembling, suddenly freezing and pale. His knees hit the floor, followed by his arms and head right after.

Those were... a lot of examples for her to take in all at once but she was trying. "So if he has a good reason for lying it isn't really a lie?" she asked, confused. So... Axel... hadn't lied to them? Since he had a good reason?

"I did have help," she said, with a small smile and a shake of her head. "But they can't carry as much as I can. And besides, if I take more trips, that's just more chances for me to get lost," she added. She stood once they had everything, more or less and started to head off. Back the way they came.

"Deal!" he said. You... really should have defined how long a bit was, kid. But you'll learn. Everyone does with enough exposure to him. Well... nearly everyone.

He gave him a smile. "Let us focus on your academics first, then we can look into fighting training to help you continue to improve? Alright?" Using a power called Bending, a pair of ceramic cups appeared, one by him, one by Ken. Each was filled wit juice that tasted fresh squeezed. A mix that went well together, but wasn't the sort of thing you'd generally see in a supermarket. "Shall we begin with science?" he asked as he sipped his juice.

She didn't realize she should have said that she jumped people with her "he". But she nodded. That was what she had thought, at least. "Why do adults lie more?" What makes someone an adult? Does lying do it? Was that the difference, once you lied a certain amount people called you an adult? Could you be an adult and a child at the same time?

"Oh. Whoops. Thanks." She turned the way he indicated and started walking again.

"Perhaps if you tell him where you are trying to go, Najaran," her staff chided.

"He said this was the right way," she protested.

"Based on where you were going before, or perhaps the way to the laundry room."

"........ oh," she said in a small voice.

"I'll take the ride. Pick me up, I'll go on ahead while you go on foot. Easier to Death From Above people from up there anyway!" Even if he was short. Better than the floor.

"Alright then," he said, agreeing. He gestured with his free hand and his books and pen vanished into the gem on his forehead. A bubble formed around him, scooping out part of his rock, and he floated in his bubble down to the table, gesturing for Ken to take a seat, still sipping his juice as if traveling by magical bubble was about as taxing as nodding his head.

Roxas said that Axel didn't like complicated things. Did that mean Axel wasn't an adult then? Or was he and that was why he didn't like them? Either way at least she knew she wasn't complicated, since Axel liked her. They were best friends, after all. Her, Axel, Roxas.

"So kids and adults are... different?" she asked, to be sure. Because she very much wasn't.

najaran: (Earring fidget)

"Actually I'm going to the garden car," she said, but she followed him. "Is that the same direction from here?"
death_from_above: (Spark DEJAH!)

[personal profile] death_from_above 2021-02-11 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
He settled on Ken's head and looked down at him. "Do what? Get to ride on people's heads, eat fish, and be awesome?"
guru_clef: (Study time)

[personal profile] guru_clef 2021-02-11 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Kidf, you just made Clef's week. He wished Link could see what a kid who WANTED to learn looked like. In hopes it would inspire him. Clef floated beside the chair and nodded. A fresh notebook appeared in his hands and the now empty cup vanished, and the hand carved wooden pen his son made him came out of his gem.

"A good way to know where to begin with science lessons is by getting a baseline on your world first, then you specifically. What is the highest and most complicated level of technology that you are aware of in your world?"
