One Foot in front of the Other Foot [ota with closed prompts]
Who: Taiki. There is an open prompt and then closed prompts for Inigo, Gyousou and Tidus.
Where: Kitchens, Library, Cinema
When: Horseshoe days 2-5
What: Taiki tries out some recipes from his vegan cookbook. Taiki and Inigo make food to cheer Tidus up, Taiki and Gyousou have a talk in the library and Taiki finally succeeds in tracking down Tidus.
Warnings: Taiki and Tidus' thread will have themes of disappearing/dying- purposefully to try and solve things- with mention of a past suicide attempt. I will add more things as they come up.
Day Two: The Kitchen [OTA]
Tidus' suggestion of a cookbook had come at a good time because as the month changed they once again had meat as one of the main ingredients. It was a little better this time, the meat was processed, already cooked and so entering the kitchen and store room was not an exercise in steeling himself against the smell of blood and raw meat.
He has his new book, Vegan: The Cookbook and has found a recipe for pizza. Considering pizza is one of the recipe's on the ICP this month he is confident that he should find the things to make it.
He moves carefully around the kitchen, gathering ingredients. Soon he has everything but cheese, the book simply says to use vegan cheese, which is not something they have.
He flicks through the book, looking to see if there are any suggestions for alternatives. He has found himself a corner to prepare food in but still feels like he is in the way, mumbling a 'sorry' to anyone who comes near. He hadn't meant for this to take that long...
Day Three: The Kitchen [For Inigo]
Permeating the whole of the last few days has been the lack of Tidus. Taiki has been worried about him, more than worried, ever since Roland told him what had happened on the platform. But despite many attempts he hadn't been able to find him. He wasn't answering his door, Taiki hadn't ran into him in any of his usual places.
He had kept trying, though he feared annoying his friend, the line between being worried and just irritating him so much that he wouldn't want to ever talk to him again was very thin, and Taiki didn't want to cross it.
But he was worried... And he knew Inigo was too, he had seen him around, seen him near Tidus' cabin. He knew he was just as worried, with Yuna leaving... So soon after whatever Tidus had seen on the mountain... It was too much.
He finds Inigo quickly, he's trying not to think about how easy that is to do, and holds out the two books in his hands. One is his cookbook and one is a book on bread making. "I told him I would cook him a meal... Maybe it will chear him up. Do you want to help?"
He doesn't think he needs to clarify who.
Day Four: The Library [For Gyousou]
The situation with Tidus was not the only thing Taiki was worried about. The flashes of the ouki from Inigo, that was worrying too. He knows it has something to do with what happened on the mountain. Something now linked his king and Inigo.
Just as he was certain that these flashes of confusion, of anxiety weren't completely his feelings alone. He was used to feeling overwhelmed and anxious, but this is more so.
Both things put together meant that at times like right now he did not want to stray from Lord Gyousou's side. So here he was, Gyousou was resting on a beanbag reading a history book called Book Not Found Taiki approached silently and sat on the floor next to him, not quite leaning on him but sitting close, his own book Summoning Magic on his knees.
Day Five: Cinema [For Tidus]
He still hadn't seen Tidus, not at all and he was more than worried. But if the other man didn't want to be found, if he was avoiding him and Inigo... then should they leave it? Was it better to allow him his space or make sure he knew they were here for him.
He didn't know but for the last couple of days he had just tried Tidus' room a couple of times. So it was a surprise, when he entered the cinema. He glanced instinctively at the screen, it showed some children clambering through a cave, holding torches as they explored. His eyes went back to where he was walking, scanning the seats and there...
There in the corner, his purple hood was pulled up but Taiki still recognises him.
"Tidus?"

"Tidus?"
no subject
It is obvious in everything he does and it is difficult, to know how to deal with that. He is used to people caring for him, to an extent. But Inigo has no reason to. He is not from Tai, Taiki is not his hope.
It is a friendship like none he has experienced before.
He looked up again, "It was strange. Xion has lived a very complicated life and I am afraid my own memories only confused her more."
no subject
His own experience had perhaps been uncharacteristic, from other accounts, with an even division of discussion. Xion seems too shy, too tentative, to have managed something similar.
But then again, he thought that about Taiki once, too. So perhaps they managed something. "What did you see?"
no subject
"The first was her at school, hiding from bullies. She met a... teacher I think and he gave her some tea. The second she met Lea, he had forgotten her but he remembered again and it brought them both joy." He smiled, but that smile quickly fades. "Lastly we saw her afraid, afraid of being destroyed because she had failed in a task..." Just the knowledge of that was painful, never mind seeing it.
"We saw Asen's attack."
no subject
Without more information, all he can say is, "Oh?"
no subject
Seeing it again had, stirred something, a guilt that had always been within him but laying low, mixed in with all the rest of the things to be guilty about that he held in his heart.
"I... I really was a stupid child back then. Because everyone tried to shield me from what was going on... He didn't so I thought I could trust him. I thought he was the only one telling the truth, because his news was bad."
A stupid child indeed, to walk straight into his trap like that.
no subject
"Kouri, forgive me. To have left you alone, without telling you my suspicions... I trusted that I knew his plans enough to predict them, and was utterly wrong. Do not blame yourself."
no subject
"It wasn't your fault. I fell right into his trap. I should have..."
He was a creature of instinct and yet that instinct had failed to warn him of a predator in his midst. Instead he had been manipulated and allowed himself to trust someone who wished him harm.
"You should not blame yourself."
