[some open prompts] What a Way to Make an Entrance

WHO: Osomatsu and various, and YOU
WHERE: the Eluvio, Bajikan
WHEN: during the fleet's orbit of Bajikan
WHAT: Osomatsu appears! he makes new friends, finds his brothers, and has a grand old time on the planet where dreams come true...?
WARNINGS: swearing, substance use, and adult themes, probably. shouldn't be too bad

I) before Mar 8 - Eluvio - Shopping Centre [ota]

[so, this was it. outer space! Osomatsu has barely been on the Eluvio for a day, and he's already searching for a bar. he's got a lot on his mind. he's wondering how exactly he arrived... sure, there was a presentation, and some kind of explanation, but he had barely listened, because it was boring. and he couldn't understand the parts he did listen to. so he's left wondering why, and how. and if he'll ever get home.

at the same time. he's in freaking outer space! that's cool as anything! it's cool enough to almost make him forget about the crap he was going through at home. yeah, where his brothers all left the house...

it's been weeks since he's seen Choromatsu, and a little less time since he's seen the others. and he knows at least one of them is on this very ship, since one of the crew members made a comment about him already going through orientation. he doesn't know which brother it is yet, but he's going to find out.... mmmmaybe later. because he's not certain he can deal with it right now.

he wants to get drunk first! so Osomatsu is looking around the Shopping Centre, since he was told that was where he would find food and drink. he's passed a couple bars already, but he hasn't seen one that strikes his fancy yet. he pauses outside one of them, rubbing his chin in thought]

How's the food here? [he'll ask to anyone that's nearby]

II) Mar 9 - Eluvio - Black Market [ota]

[ha! a black market! on the fleet! no way! the rumors were right. it has all sorts of fun things to play with! your character maybe told Osomatsu about this place, or even escorted him there, because he wouldn't have been able to find it on his own. now you... can't stop him... he's rushing from stand to stand, looking at all the neat weapons]

Man, this is so cool! [we're all just waiting for him to say, what does this button do, and blow up the ship... better keep him on a leash, or something]

III) after Mar 9 - Bajikan - Avaritia [closed to Dorothy]

[when learning about the different districts of Bajikan, Osomatsu knew almost instantly that he wanted to go to Avaritia. legal gambling? casinos? seriously?! how could he pass that up? he doesn't have a lot of money, but maybe he could win some...

he breathes in the air, feeling great. it smells like fresh cash, and it instantly clouds his head with the desire for more, more than what he has, more of everything. he's not paying attention to anything happening in front of him while he's walking, because his gaze is pulled in every direction. so he runs right into a young lady. whoops!]

A-a-ahh! Sorry! Are you okay?

IV) mid Mar - Bajikan - Ira [ota]

[as much as Osomatsu loves Avaritia, he wants to check out some of the other districts, as well. he visits each of them, stays longer in some than in others. and then he finally finds his way to Ira. Ira makes him feel... complicated. his thoughts return to his brothers, and how they left him, and he becomes angry. he wants to fight.

maybe your character sees him trying to pick on someone twice his size. maybe Osomatsu is trying to get you to fight him! whatever the case may be, this NEET is way out of his league, but he's upset. he'll take on you, and you, and, what the hell, you, too! he's going to pretend you're Choromatsu and punch you in your stupid face!]

V) mid Mar - Bajikan - Acedia [closed to Karamatsu]

[someone finally managed to pull Osomatsu away from Ira. that... that was rough, man. h shouldn't have gone in there. how nice it is, once he gets to Acedia, where he feels so peaceful. he wants to relax, spend the rest of his days here.

at some point, or another, Osomatsu finds an opium den. and he decides to crash there for a while. he's lounging on a big red pillow, in cozy pajamas, inhaling the drug from a pipe and wondering what he's been doing with his life. this place... maybe he should stay here! no one would force him to get a job, he could be free and everyone would be nice and friendly... yeah, sounds like a good idea to him...]

Ichimatsu. [he responds with a somewhat flat stare] We're in space! Anything's possible! Eventually, we're gonna have our own ship, and we can visit all the places we've been to before, as well as new places!

[Osomatsu is trying to sound as excited as he can, but thanks to whatever's in the air on Ira, he just sounds, well, irritated]

[Ichimatsu's irritation is much subtler, at least. He makes a soft tch of a sound and skulks toward the mouth of the alleyway.]

None of us know how to pilot a ship, and I don't even want to be here in the first place. The Eluvio is fine for as long as we have to stay up here.

[well, that was a typical Ichimatsu answer. Osomatsu moves to follow him]

I bet at least one of us will learn how to pilot a space ship by the time we're through with this journey. They'll probably teach us. And if they don't, then... well, I'll figure out something!

[God he hates how on edge he is in this district. He makes another tch of a sound and grinds his teeth, hunching his shoulders and shoving his hands into his pockets.]

Have fun with that, I'll stay on the ship piloted by professionals.

[they're not too far from the exit. they can get out of here, maybe find a happier place to chat. Osomatsu is still trying to keep the conversation light despite the agitation he feels]

Man. You're not humoring me at all! [a smirk, which comes off sharper than he'd like it to. though, when Osomatsu sees the gateway, he reaches for Ichimatsu's shirt to drag him in that direction. hopefully Ichimatsu wants to leave just as much as he does]

[The edge to his tone coupled with him reaching for him spooks him more than anything else, but Ira takes the startled spark of energy and ignites it into a flame, though thankfully small, and Ichimatsu swats his brother's hand from his shirt and spirals away from him.]

Don't--! [His cat ears and tail never quite went away from the fight, but now the ears are pinned flat and the tail is curled tight to the inside of one of his legs, looped inward around one knee. Even with the irritation, the agitation of Ira, he's still skittish and meek, and as soon as he's raised his voice at all it drops away again, and he ducks his head to shuffle past Osomatsu toward the exit.] Don't... Don't touch me.

[Osomatsu quickly pulls his hand back and holds both of them up, more surprised than annoyed by Ichimatsu's reaction. Even with Ira's air in his lungs, it hurts to have his brother pull away from him like that, with those cat ears flat]

Sorry.

[he doesn't say anything else until he's past the gate. Gradually, the burning scent of gunpowder fades away, and the atmosphere becomes less cloying. The irritation on Osomatsu's face fades, and he relaxes]

[It's mostly just Ira-- he doesn't want to fight with Osomatsu, and he doesn't really ever want to be touched, but especially not under tense conditions such as these. His ears remain pinned and his tail lashes behind him anxiously, but he slowly evens out with each step out of Ira they take.]

[He slows to a stop a bit later, and his ears sit unpinned, his tail slowing its lashing. He glances over his shoulder but keeps his eyes trained on Osomatsu's feet, nodding.]

...don't apologize, I just really don't like that district.

[only minutes before, Osomatsu was itching for a fight. and now that they're out on the main island, he seems to realize what a foolish idea that was. he grins sheepishly and nods]

Yeah, I guess I don't like it much either! There are plenty of other nicer districts to go to. Like, Luxuria! Have you been there yet? Oh, man. I think I was in one of those private viewing rooms for hours!

[watching AVs when he could have very well gotten laid. what a loser]

[His ears flick and pin briefly again, and he shakes his head.]

I've been gathering plants, but... [People are tactile in Luxuria. He's aware of how easy it would probably be to get laid there, but the whole of it just makes his skin break out in goosebumps.] Gula isn't bad, and I've done a lot of napping in Acedia.

[Osomatsu plans on checking out Acedia later... but something else Ichimatsu says draws his attention]

Gathering plants? [a smirk, as though he's trying to hide a laugh] Didn't know you were into gardening.

[He quirks his mouth, shrugging one shoulder.]

I'm not, really. Reaper is, and I wanna dry the plants and sell them in my shop when we have power again. [Business, however, it seems he's pretty decent at.]

You... sell plants? [he knows vaguely about the business. vaguely. but... drying plants. really] What for?

The whole place is real New Age-y and weird so I figure since I'm supposed to be a psychic and do shit like palm readings people would probably enjoy having continued access to these weird plants that do shit.

[He's aiming to make bank, really.]

[whoa...

WHOA?! Osomatsu's eyes widen, and he looks impressed]

Well, how about that? My little Ichimatsu is thinkin' like a businessman! [he wants to rub Ichimatsu's head, but is a bit wary since the last time he tried, he upset him a bit] That's so cool! You're gonna be rich!

[The ears, which seem to have a currently permanent fixture, fold back neatly against his head for a moment, and then perk up and forward, his tail curling curiously.]

...ah, you think so?

I know so! [Osomatsu rubs his nose, pleased. the fact that Ichimatsu was doing extra work outside of his job was admirable. Osomatsu probably wouldn't do that... in fact, he knows he wouldn't. the very idea makes him tired just thinking about it. but! if one of his other brothers was successful, he could benefit from that] Hey, so how'd you discover that the plants would be useful, huh?

[He was mostly bored and his shop is full of weird shit so he thought, weird plants, maybe people will buy these?? Either way he grins, pleased by the approval of his oldest brother, and shrugs one shoulder neatly.]

Some guy in Acedia offered me a leaf from one and told me to eat it and I'd have good dreams. It worked, so I guess I kinda started chewing on plants wherever I went to figure out if anything interesting happened.

Weird. But also cool! What other plants around here do good stuff like that?

They're specific to the districts. Uhhm, [He's had a little bag swung over his shoulder this whole time, and he pulls it forward and opens it, carefully pulling out a few stalks of Death's Wormwood and a small number of Axies leaves. He doesn't seem to want to touch the latter, as they're wrapped in little napkins.]

...according to a Bajikan native in Acedia, this one's called Death's Wormwood. It basically makes you last longer in fights without getting tired? I haven't actually tried any of the plants in Ira, they're all about fighting.

Maaaan! You coulda told me that sooner! [that's probably a joke, as Osomatsu doesn't look like he's interested in going back in there] I guess that explains what you were doin' in there, though.

You didn't ask, [He grins as he answers, shrugging one shoulder.] But yeah, I've been going through most of the districts gathering plants. You know that big chest I have in our quarters? Plants.

No kidding? I thought that was full of, like, porn.

[He veritably barks a laugh at that, shaking his head.]

Fuck, no! I'm not you, and the porn around here is weird even for me. It's plants, categorized and drying.

[well, plants were safe, then. Osomatsu would have gotten a big surprise if he'd busted into that chest. he laughs lightly, more at himself]

Well, whatever! I wish you luck in your new planting business! You're pretty meticulous about shit, so you'll do a good job. [Ichimatsu is surviving in the real world! it's incredible. Osomatsu's really happy for him]
