Voice/Action C-c-c-combo! A Chill Day.

VOICE. USERNAME: T.YAGI

Oh -- here we go --

[Some mild shuffling, sorry! Getting used to how everything runs here. He clears his throat]

Hello, nice to meet everyone here; my name is Toshinori Yagi, but most just refer to me as Yagi. I'm not that used to being unfamiliar of the community I'm in, so -- if you'd be willing, I'd love to know what sort of establishments or sights you have to visit around Riverview. Something to keep me occupied, and all; I just can't help but stay in motion and familiarize myself with everything.

I guess I can consider this a vacation from my usual... busybody work. For now.

ACTION. | HOSPITAL

[Firstly, he needs to get his medical junk in order. He's not fond of how reliant he is on doctor trips he's been the last five years of his life, but things change -- self-care, albeit shoddy, is a good priority to have. He supposes he'll lie about how he got his old injury, or... maybe he can find a doctor he trusts with the truth. Recovery Girl had been such a relief to have around, and he misses her already. That said -- office visit is a-go, and waiting rooms are not uncommon to him anymore.

Reason for visit? Blood tests to monitor his levels of -- well, everything.

When he leaves, he pit stops to the pharmacy for the usual -- injections, chewable vitamins, iron supplements. By the time he's heaving out, he's got a hefty paper back with the cute little Rx in rolling letters on the front.]

ACTION. | PARK

[... Toshinori jogs. He's got a little track suit -- er, a long track suit for a long fellow -- and he's just casually jogging. He doesn't last particularly long, and he finds himself sitting to rest nearby, where all the boys and girls are currently clustered to play on the equipment. It's pretty nice here, all things considered; he'll rest up, keep a watchful eye out for any danger. Some of these kids are out on their own, after all! They could use the neighborhood watch.

It always pays to be observant.

One of the young boys rush over to him, eyes wide and curious. He's got a sort of apprehensive aura about him, a ball under his arm and a preparedness to bolt if things go sour. Plucking his fingers from his mouth (you're way too old for that, my boy), he says firmly:

"You look like a ghooooul!"




Toshinori nearly falls off the bench, sputtering blood.

A GHOUL!?

[ Although it goes unseen, she squints a little at being called 'dear girl.' At the very least, it doesn't feel like he said it in any condescending sort of manner - but she imagines that if a certain cloaked, masked edgelord called her 'dear girl,' she'd probably hate it. ]

Yeah. I guess that's why I figured I should keep myself busy here.

And yeah! A lot of the same kinds of games from home, but with different names? Like, almost weird knock-off versions.

[almightiness]

[Fortunately, he says all manner of 'dear girl' and 'dear boy' and 'my good man' like an old fart, and it's pretty much a kneejerk sort of addition to his sentences. What a loser. He perks a little bit, mind drifting to videogames from home; he wasn't much of a player, but...!]

As long as they're decent, one supposes...!

[Should he be asking? Is he too old for this sort of talk with the youths??]

... Are there any superhero games?

[bunnyhopped]

[ Yes, what a loser. ]

Oh, sure! There's a bunch of those. Why, are you some kind of superhero fanatic?

[almightiness]

... I suppose 'fan' is short for fanatic, isn't it?

[He laughs, sheepish.]

Superheroes are pretty amazing, though. I've seen so many amazing pros in action over the years, it's hard not to appreciate their skill and hard work.

[bunnyhopped]

[ There's a giggle from Hana's end of the line as she listens to Toshinori. People gushing over superheroes always reminds her of her dad - he gushed a lot about people in Overwatch, who were basically like superheroes. There is a particular word in what he says, though, that piques her interest. ]

Pro...? You mean like a professional superhero or something?

[almightiness]

Precisely that, my young friend...! In my world, people are schooled for heroism and given a hero license when they graduate. It helps to have them around when 80% of the population have some sort of 'power'.

[bunnyhopped]

[ See, all that actually sounds pretty freaking awesome? At least until— ]

Wha— eighty percent?! That's, like, everyone! No way!

[almightiness]

Everyone's been pretty surprised to hear that about my world!

I take it yours has a pretty low percentage?

[bunnyhopped]

Hmmmm... Kind of? I mean, there's a bunch of people who have some interesting powers but I think most of them weren't born that way, you know? Usually something happened to them.

...So what's your power?

[almightiness]

I'm one of the 20%, actually.

Unless you count a teenage growth spurt as a power.

[bunnyhopped]

No, not really...

That's so crazy. So you're just... completely ordinary? That kinda sucks, doesn't it?

[almightiness]

A-aha... You say it so bluntly...

[bunnyhopped]

That's okay, I'm sure you have some redeeming qualities and talents!

[ Yep, that's her... blunt as hell ]

[almightiness]

I like to think so...! I'm working on being a decent teacher, anyway.

And I have a good knowledge of movies; surely that's a plus.

[bunnyhopped]

Oh, a teacher? That's pretty good! What are you teaching?

[almightiness]

Physical education!

... Where the biggest challenge is getting them all to actually dress up for it.

[bunnyhopped]

Huh? What do you mean? They can't possibly do PE in regular uniforms, right?

[almightiness]

The less enthusiastic kids just stay in their normal clothes and don't participate.

It's a challenge, but I'm working on ways to garner their interests in the class...!
