what's left to guide me [open]
Who: Seto Kaiba and anyone/everyone he can't successfully avoid (that's you!)
Where: Various (library/kitchen/sauna) + some closed prompts in comments, more on request!
When: Imagination 22
What: Having finally resigned from the council, Kaiba's left to figure out just who he's supposed to be now. One problem: it's a little hard to have a private crisis when train is Small.
Warnings: Possible mentions of violent history/suicide. Those will be warned for/asked about before it comes up, after clearing it with the player.
a. library car
Hearing answers from the train had been a temporary respite from Dealing With This, but when there's no trainwide distraction going on, you have to make your own respite. That's why he'll be avoiding his usual trademark car of Games, sticking to an alcove in the upstairs library.
He perched awkwardly at a desk with his laptop at his fingerprints, dressed simply in his black turtleneck and black leather pants. He'd left all the flashy accessories behind today. He's absorbed in lines of code on one half of the screen, some kind of bizarre game taking form on the other. It's just a swirling ooze of picture for now, almost like a black hole. An apt metaphor for his life at the moment.
Eventually, he drops his head in his hands over the keyboard. The black hole eats all the other characters on the screen. It's a good effect, but...definitely needs improving.
b. kitchen scrubbing
One thing he can do, at a minimum, is his chores. He throws himself into them with gusto, vigorously scrubbing soap stains at sinks and sweeping crumbs. He's careful to wait until just after the cooking team has cleared out from each meal, hopefully before anyone comes wandering in for a snack.
He's aggressive on the counters and dishes, mopping and scrubbing the floors with all the strength he has. He's on a single mission: to make it all shine. At least until the next mealtime.
c. late night sauna
Sauna enthusiasts have long preached that a sweat session in these rooms can cure most ills. Sleeplessness is one of them, though whether feeling lost counts is up for debate. Seto decides it's worth a shot when the hour becomes quite late---his tossing and turning will wake his boyfriend if he's not more careful.
Yes, leaving it all behind sounds like an excellent idea. He enters with a towel slung over his hips and drops bonelessly onto a bench, determined to sweat whatever this is out of his system for good.

"I am taking a guess that something is, but...you know you can tell me right?"
no subject
"How did you figure out what your purpose is? Your goal?"
no subject
"But with attempting to figure it out... You just find that thing that clicks, I suppose."
no subject
"I don't know what I'm meant to do, or even if they want me to do something."
no subject
"It's all about figuring out your strengths and finding what best suits you in the field. That's along the lines of what I've always been told. You have skills that you've used before, so at least you have a little bit of a head start when it comes to ideas."
no subject
He flashed Yugi a tired smile. "But don't discount your ideas. You have a sharp mind, and put to use it could be a real weapon."
no subject
"And that is true, I can. But at the same time I would also need to come up with ways to still take care of myself with that on the field. I'm at least getting there though."
no subject
Seto leans across to take his arm. "I'm working on reviving a game design project. Would you like to be the lead?"
no subject
His eyes soon widened slightly. "The...lead?"
no subject
In other words, he's everything Kaiba's not. He lifts his head and smiles.
"I need to learn how to follow."
no subject
"I guess you've never really had to learn that before, huh? Learning to follow instead of lead."
no subject
Seto looks a little uncertain about that, but...he knows it's what he needs to do.
"That means you pull my ear if I've gone off track. Up for it?"
no subject
He figured it was him being a good boyfriend as well if he did and being supportive at the same time.
no subject
With that, he reaches across and squeezes his hand, holding on for a few moments longer than necessary.
"...heh. Think it's about time I let you get to sleep."
no subject
"I will do, but I am going to assume you aren't going to sleep yet?"
