Kise's heart

If a reason exists for losing, it's because I'm not strong enough yet.

SCHOOL GROUNDS

[modelface]

[ When you wake up, you find yourself in a … courtyard? Anyone who’s ever went to high school will be able to tell that’s what it is -- for everyone else, it’s only a rather huge and vast courtyard, with several big buildings scattered around. The sky above you is clear and the sun pleasantly warm, and even though you can hear and feel the wind on your skin, it’s not so strong as to feel chilly. It’s a beautiful place.

Although the school seems to be filled with people walking around, none of them looks particularly distinguishable (and some of these may even look identical to each other), and none of them seems to notice your presence or try engage with you in any way.

Somewhere in the distance, you can hear various loud noises -- something like squeals and and laughter -- but you can’t quite make out what it is from where you are.

There are two buildings in the more-or-less-immediate vicinity, the white one on your left, and the orange-ish one you can see straight ahead in the distance. Or you could keep exploring the courtyard! The voices you heard earlier, for example, come from the path on your right.

From where you are, you can also see the school gates -- they’re open, so you could probably also leave school grounds if you wanted.]

[ the gates are open, but the closer you get to them, the more it feels a little sad. Do you go outside? ]

[kneejerk]

[wait a sec, uhhh]

[ what is high school? a school on a mountain??? ]

Hey, this doesn't look like that bad of a place!

Re: SCHOOL GROUNDS

[modelface]

[ look there's girls wearing short skirts and everything ]

Re: SCHOOL GROUNDS

[phantompass]

[ wow, look who totally doesn't remember this school either.

he is drawn by the loud noises, though, so he sets off in that direction. ]

Re: SCHOOL GROUNDS

[ As you follow the path of squealing voices you can hear them a little more clearly, and perhaps they register to you as particularly annoying. It’s unmistakably girls going on about someone being “really hot” and various “is it really him? he’s a model, isn’t he?!”. But although you can hear the girls just fine, when you actually reach the source of the voices their outlines appear to be incredibly blurry.

Despite that and how hard it is to make out their exact figure, all of them are standing in a line -- at the end of which you can see a familiar figure: Kise’s, busy handing out autographs. His smile is bright and charming, but if you know him well, it’s also very obvious just how fake it is -- in fact, he seems a little annoyed. ]

”Kise-kun, I want to take a parting photo with you…!” “Okay, I get it … one by one…!”

[bodymod]

[he is going to look around for some twigs. where are twigs?]

Re: SCHOOL GROUNDS

[modelface]

[ the courtyard is full of trees, so there may be some twigs here and there! ]

Re: SCHOOL GROUNDS

[screwthatnoise]

Buildings of this time are very flat...

[kise did your heart cut off the roofs??]

[kind of recognizing the squeals of what might be fangirls, LET'S CHECK THAT OUT TO BE CERTAIN]

Re: SCHOOL GROUNDS

[surefire]

[glancing around the courtyard, then wandering over in the direction of the voices]

OUTSIDE

[modelface]

[ Outside the school gates everything is much quieter. Ironically, it’s so quiet that you can hear the sound of the wind blowing more strongly than ever before. It’s just wind, and yet being able to hear it so clearly at all leaves you feeling a mix of nostalgic and sad, and somehow, it feels like something is missing.

Up above you the sky isn’t so clear anymore -- the beautiful blue from before is replaced by an almost oppressive gray, and overall the picture out there is way more melancholic than it was inside.

Where there were people everywhere before, there doesn’t seem to be anyone else but you in here. It feels lonely. ]

Re: OUTSIDE

[bodymod]

[he looks around-- are there any trees, buildings, any direction to go?]

Re: OUTSIDE

[isfet]

[rolls his eyes and keeps walking.]

Laying on the symbolism a little thick, aren't you?

Re: OUTSIDE

[phantompass]

[ oh, this feeling's familiar. Kuroko looks up at the sky and wonders if this is what it looked like for him as well, during that time...

no, that's not something to think about right now. he looks around, scanning the environment. ]

Re: OUTSIDE

[shednotearsformagic]

...

[Which way is the wind coming from?]

[I will I'll go there way.]

Re: OUTSIDE

[kneejerk]

[hmph]
