Mmm. I wonder. Call it conjecture on my part, but what happens to a body when you stab out it's heart?

[ This world... but those are some broad assumptions on his part. About more than one thing. ]

[ Action ]

[ But as for the main part of what Masaomi Kida is doing today, he's hanging out by the fountain, standing on the edge of it with arms wide. Weakness. Weakness is what might destroy them, huh? He wonders if that's individual, or if that's the weakness of a people. He wonders what weakness actually means. Despite this, he's not with Linda for once, and there's a smile on his face. It doesn't meet his eyes, but he's hawking around for anyone in the square, particularly people he knows. And he's holding in his hands two... playing cards?

And when he spies someone, he'll have to bound up to them and ask: ]

Hello! Hello~! Let's play a little game, huuuh?

[ Because he's older now. Because it's the end, and because what else is there left for him to loose. He'll play a game which has him terrified. ]

[Action]

[Masaomi, back from his mission steps up out of the tunnels... tired. He's quite tired, as is Linda (who is resting her pokeball which is clipped onto his vest. He has on the ninja flak vest he borrow from Shikamaru forever ago and also looks a bit beat up. Some of his sleeves are torn as are his pants. He has some cuts, some bruises, and some burns, not all of them healed but some of them healing. He also has one of his collapseable batons in his hand. Aside from this, his muscle build up is more obvious but-

But something different about the image - despite all that and the rain and the injuries, he's laughing once he looks up at the sky. Stronger. Stronger. He already feels it. Well, no time like the present, despite his tired he's going out to accomplish a few things. First is actually to go pick up something to drink from the grocery and pick something up from the item shop (feel free to run into him at either of those) and head over to Mikado's apartment. It's an important day, after all, and he did not want to blow him off for it. Besides, if he heads there now, he might make it as the guy is coming back to school and he might run into him before then.

After that, well, he'll spend his day with Mikado until that night (though anyone can run into him before then). This'll last until about 8PM, when he's going to be going to hang out just inside the battle dome for a reason which might obvious to a lot of people. (and no, he still has not changed his clothes, even if he might have cleaned up the more obvious injuries). And after whatever comes of that, he's going to go back to his apartment to meet up with his roommate and anyone he didn't run into through the rest of the day before finally popping open the journal.]

[Voice]

Masaomi Kida has returned!! I hope you all didn't miss me too dearly!! [Okay so he's tried and running on caffeine by now, but he's still grinning ear to ear] Some rain out there today, and man is it wet- [he resists saying "ladies I hope you didn't get too wet if you saw me today" but it's hard. He laughs to himself at that joke despite not saying] You can tell the sky's telling us something though, riiight? We're approaching spring, a time of love and lust and all between! So sound off!! Whooooo's got a special someone? Who's got a crush? You can trust me, I'm a Love Machine.

[Laughing at this, once more]

So ladies... and gentlemen. Don't speak up all at once.

( self indulgent stage setting )

[Action // Forward Dated to Tuesday (17th)]

[And sometime about midday tomorrow, Masaomi is in the square It might be a bit dubious to recognize him even if you know him because his hair is dark brown now instead of the blonde people might have been used to (that was dyed okay) but he's back to being a peppy version of himself. Namely, right now, he's leaping up onto the fountain, climbing up onto it and then shouting for the plaza to hear-]

Heeellllooo~ Luceti~!! Boys and girls, particularly the ladies- aaah! Yes, particularly those, but guys too, who wants to go to the hot spring?! It's cool and it's stressful now and I'm sure some of you want to go, right? [He puts a hand on his ear as if expecting some cheers and shouts, even if none come he snaps his fingers and somewhat less loud, assuming he has some people's attention by now] Of course!

I promise not to peek, I'm just not that kind of guy! But we should make a party of it, right?! Right?! Ah... actually...

[He drops now, to the edge of the fountain and then skillfully leaping onto the ground itself, adopting a thoughtful pose. A very thoughtful one, stroking his chin] I do say ladies, and I mean that! Buuuu~t before I break any more hearts, I guess this is the time to mention that I, Masaomi Kida [And he puts a hand on his heart, and puts on a woeful expression] have a secret crush!! Try not to die of shock, I promise to still be sweet to you!!

[And then he bursts out laughing. Yes, he's forcing himself, but he's so back.]

( Information beforehand )

[Voice]

Everyone. Ah, I - I... [...No, he can't do it. He can't be calm]

Son of bitch! No! [And then he throws the cell phone clean across the room. It hits the wall with a loud sound - it's not broke, not quite, but the battery pops out of the back and the screen cracks. But who cares. Now, now? His voice is pained beyond anything people have heard in Luceti since about when Mikado was sent home, but this pain is different - Mikado's was cold fury, this one is erratic fury and sorrow and... well yeah]

Why now?! [Voice break] Why- dammit, [He grits his teeth] Dammit!

[Voice]

Hi-ho everyone, Masaomi Kida here! I'd just like all you lovely ladies to know that things might be a little grim around here for a while! After all, the hero that is me is being shipped out for a mission tomorrow morning, so~ Things might be bleak, but keep the faith! After all, I'll be back before you know it!

[Yes, that'll do. Now he'll just hang out in his apartment with Saki, respond to whoever replies, and go from there]

[ Video + Action ]

Heeeeello viewers at home, this is me, Masaomi Kida! [And in comes the blonde boy himself, sitting in what appears to be a advice booth with hos journal angled against a rock so it can see him and the booth itself. Albeit, giving he set up on the edge of a street, a walkby from someone's cat or dog or some other furry animal actually gets in the way of the "camera" here for a while. But he presses on, not noticing this]

And this, as you've no doubt gathered by now, is the world-famous Kida Radio!! Welcome, welcome, and don't be afraid ladies and gentlemen. Because I- am here to help you. As you know, Kida Radio is here to inform guys about how to pick up girls and to make girls have some fanservice from yours truly!

[And finally, he furry thing moves, revealing Masaomi leaning over the booth and tugging on the edges of his shirt. Or well, his hoodie, exposing his collar bone]

So ladies, if you're seduced already, don't be alarmed, that's normal. But guys! If you want to have my skills- [And he pulls back, smirking] Which is why I've got this advice booth. Here to help guys out. And here to help girls to me. Show up in person or answer here, your handsome host will be sure to say the word!

[And with a sweeping motion he ends his broadcast.

Before realizing because the book isn't next to him he can't set it off. Oh well. He leaps the booth to run over and do that. And he collects it to bring it back to his booth. As he said, feel free to respond on the book or run into him in person]

[Voice // Botched filter (open to all) to Kaori]

Kaori-chan~!! That date that I asked you out for, it's late, but I can still make a date for it, riiiiight?

[Voice // Botched filter (open to all) to Rise]

Rise-chaaaan~! We should go out on another date, right? Right!

[Action]

[...And blissfully unaware that both of his filters failed in his speed and excitement, Masaomi is now off to spend the whole day (or at least until sunset, so most of the afternoon after school) with his best friend, dragons_peak! They'll be all over town, so feel free to run into them wherever, but there are a few key places one might run into them if you want ideas: the library (yes, really) to look for manga or something else worth reading! The clothing shop to get themselves a new swimsuits for the beach (or Gold's new pool) this summer! And, of course, the rec center to play some pool because MAsaomi feels he needs practice and Mikado got dragged into it.

Besides that, Masaomi's going to try to find the people he ran into when he thought Mikado was gone (albeit, some of them he's surely told Mikado was back to before now) to show how okay he is now. If this means he needs to detour the whole way to the Avatar house and/or other places he will.

PS: girls, if you're around the square, you might be "tag team" hit on.

SO! Voice replies or action! Voice replies will be that night, action will be during the day and from both Masaomi and Mikado]

[Voice / Action]

[This morning Mikado is gone.

More pressingly, his computer and most of the things in his room are gone too. Masaomi stares at it for a long while through the hole in the wall (covered by a sheet) dividing their two rooms when he went to check on Mikado today. As it stands... well. Well. There's a few possible conclusions, and they all fly into his head: kidnapped, kidnapped by someone else? Seduced-? all of them leave a foul taste in his mouth. Thus, eventually, he flips open the journal. His tone is flat, with an unhidden hint of threat in it-]

Have any of you seen Mikado Ryuugamine?

[... But he's too antsy to focus on just that. Instead, he's going to hit up all the likely hang outs- he's going to hit up all of the friends of Mikado's he knows the house/apart numbers of. Archie Kennedy, Anne, Shuri, Selphie. For good measure, he then will go to people he wonders might be useful - the clinic to see if he can't find Law-san or someone else there and then around to look for Shikamaru, even though he doesn't know where he lives. By the end of the day, he's just going to be looking in the windows of all the houses he can, and then going to the apartment doors of everyone he can and knocking on their door... progressively feeling more and more like hitting someone or something.

SO UH. Run unto him wherever ! He's feeling insane]

[Video/Action]

[So, you guys remember Kida Radio, right? Well, the following post is brought you by Kida Industries. It's a video recording, with the journal propped up to give a good shot of Masaomi. Sure it's unseasonably cold, at at least it's not raining. As a result, he is outside in his hoodie (a PINK one, not a white one, I might add, thanks to Frey). He's on top of a crate he's set up a little outside the square, and making some dramatic motions by way of his opening.]

Welcome, welcome, to the one and only broadcast for self-betterment, Kida Radio! Today is yoooour lucky day, Luceti for I - a man without parallel, Masaomi Kida, am not stepping forward to give you advice for all the things you might need advising for in your life!

[And here he lips off the crate, leaning his face in on the journal, grinning ear to ear]

Need to know how to ask a girl out? Need someone to ask them out for you?! Need advice on what type of drink to have?! What about clothes and color coordination?! I know it all! After all, many a boy has looked at me and thought "damn, if I could only be half as good as Masaomi Kida, and my jokes only a tenth as good, I'd be set for life." Well, this is your biiiig~ chance!

Bold! Dynamic!! Come and I'll answer- [Leaping back up onto the box] All your problems! If you doubt me, know that even someone like Yuuhei Hanejima would be jealous of my brilliant mastery of language and the human psyche!

And ladies, please. Don't worry - I've got moooore than a enough heart to give all of you a good time. You don't need to rush!

[Feel free to respond to his video, or walk in on him performing to a book in town]

[Voice]
[As a precursor, after breaking his ankle very badly on the last day of fighting, Masaomi got himself healed up by Raine, and now has been spending much time at Gold's place. He's gone out on crutches a few times so far, but nothing much and rarely for very long, still thinking about the fighting and all. But-]

Nooow~! As you well know, White Day is approaching! A time where I will repay the favors of all the lovely girls who have shown me the depths of their hearts. However!! Before that, before even that, there is a special chance I offer to you, girls of Luceti! A once in a lifetime offer, perhaps?

[He chuckles here, and places a hand on his chest. Time to change that.]

Though it is also a favor to me, please know that your short burst of affection and care will echo on forever, and this is truly something that I, Masaomi Kida, offer to all of you! A chance to leave your mark on a man among men?! Namely~!!

You could kiss my ankle to help make it better! And perhaps nurse me back to health?! Now, now! Don't all volunteer all at once, okay?! There's plenty of my body to go around, I open all of myself to you lovely ladies, young and matured, new and veterans!! Every last one, I know that your love-love power is the ultimate medicine!!

[Because, you know, he broke his ankle... bad. Raine set it on the battlefield and then back at Luceti did a healing it up via Nala, yes, but he was still told to stay off it for a while to ensure he didn't re-fracture the thing. And frankly, being in this house all the time, he's bored.

Which is probably why he decided to be ridiculous right here. Though there are... other matters that need attending. He'd prefer to go in person, but-]

[Voice // Filtered to Zan'nen // 20% unhackable]

Zan-kun, do you have a moment?

[...And is there anything else to say? Well, he could thank Raine some more, or Law or Aether or anyone else he helped him out, but for now he's just curious as to how the rest of that team he worked with is doing. He would go look into them, but. ...No way he can really do that right now. Maybe this'll attract their attention. Maybe not. For now though, he just lets it be with this.]

[Action]

[...Well. Masaomi has things to do today. None of which is talking with Hitagi because he knows he might be liable to be killed there and what with the draft he has other concerns. But! He will be cornering his roomie Freyjadour to talk to him sometime this morning as well he won't object to talking to Mikado (particularly in wake of his "warning" to Shuri a day or two ago) but he won't want to discuss the draft.

Aside from that, most of the day he'll spend trolling around the town. Possibly hitting on girls, possibly seeing people before he goes off to fight, possibly committing to a sense of escapism. You can see him almost anywhere in the range of the square at different times all day.

Later in the day, though, he flips open the journal]

[Voice]

Gold... do you think we can talk~? Oh! And Terra-chan! Cheyenne-chan! [...Pause, consider He can just visit Rise whenever she's only a few floors below, so that's cool. But someone else stands out. He's not sure if she... need it but:] Nu-chan too... maybe? [He sounds much less sure there.

But that's just draft business, besides that, he has more important matters to consider!]

So, Valentines turned out to be an experiment... it was pretty bad, but! Does anyone have any fun memories they got then?! After all, it is a love-love holiday of affection, and there might well be some sinful sorts here to enjoy the forbidden fruits offer to us. [He can hear the eyebrow raise there] Oh! Please tell me if you did, my heart cannot take waiting for the stories!!

[...Well, actually.]

[Filtered to Selphie // 37% 50% unhackable]

Selphie-chan? Are you around?

[Video (action for flatmates)]

[This recording is brought to you by Kida Industries. It starts out with him in his apartment. Fully dressed, hoodie over his wings per usual. He looks excited, and is standing on top of a couch looking down at the "camera" of the book. He inhales and... puts a hand on his heart to start!]

As many of you know, the holiday of love, the time that lights a fire in the bellies of all young men is approaching! Only days away, in fact! Yes, of course I, Masaomi Kida, the idol of your affections and the man of men, am talking about the one, the only, the undeniably lovely-!

[And he spreads his arms wide]

Valentines Day!! Aaaah~ Can't you feel it?! The feeling of ecstasy as we savor the aroma of the chocolate in the works as we speak-! Everywhere I go [Okay no really, but he doesn't let up, and here he jumps off the couch, leaning his face in on the book] I can smell the sweet smell of girls everywhere baking their love into these tokens of appreciation, these bars of solid love! Remember, guys, you need to be thankful!! Every bit of chocolate you get symbolizes the deep feelings of a girl, and you need to have you heart open!!

[He pulls back now, fanning himself with one hand while pointing his finger at the journal with the other]

Bearing that in mind, ladies, as I'm sure many of you lovely girls are interested in showing your affections for me, I've decided to make myself more open to receive your chocolate... and it doesn't even need to be love chocolate! You can pretend it's obligatory chocolate if that is easier on your hearts~ Aaaah, careful, careful!! Don't fall for me too hard, I'm a sinful man, you know~!

That's way all day on Valentines, I'll be waiting to receive your chocolate outside of the Rec Center! [...Possibly including skipping school.

... Oh, right]

Over and out, this is Kida Radio!

[Filtered to Rise // 25% unhackable]

...Rise-chan!! I feel so lonely without us having gone on our date~ yet! [He's even putting on puppy eyes!!]

[Action]

[Masaomi Kida hasn't been himself since the day after Christmas. Mikado was taken, that was all that mattered. He might have wanted to rebound and hit on girls or something, but he couldn't do that this time, not like he had with various other abductions. It was impossible to imagine that. Impossible. All he wanted now was to see his best friend - his best friend unfairly taken from him to somewhere he couldn't just follow.

No. It was impossible.

Really, he wants nothing more than a fight right now, even if a lot of him denies it. Moodily, he's lurking around town all day - avoiding going home, really - but not making his presence really know to anyone. If you want to run into him though, please do. You might notice that in addition to all his normal attire, he happens to have a yellow scarf on. But come tonight, he has two important things to look into.]

[Voice // Filtered to Kamina // 38% Unhackable]

Kamina, whose ass is Team Gurren supposed to kick?

[Action (at night)]

[And then, finally, action during the night. Namely, in lieu of going home, he's going to the Battle Dome. He doesn't really know who to work it, but he's trolled around there enough - with Ayumu, with Terra, and just observing in general - that he has roughly figured it out. Thus, anyone in the viewing room tonight might bare witness to his combat abilities. Or anyone who happens to be going there in the dead of the night might see him come out of a sim or two.

Those who do see him in the sims will see someone who might as well be another person than what you expected. His combat style, if it can be called a style, is brutal street brawling. He uses his fists and anything in the area - crowbars, tire irons, lead pipes, you name it - to beat his opponents, no matter what they are, until they stop moving. What's more, the blows he personally takes he doesn't even seem to notice. Fortunately for him, he hasn't figured out how to turn the safety off.

So yeah, feel free to run into him]
