WHO: kaito and pals WHAT: post-surgery and mid-month event shenanigans WHERE: around town WHEN: from april 12 to the end of the month WARNINGS: potential discussion of body horror; will update as things Go On
[ While the avatar doesn’t react to the Sudden Attention, Sooyoung rolls her eyes and heaves a sigh. ]
It’s up to you to decide. She has a few of my memories, so she should be able to hold a simple conversation. She’s the same as me physically. And I can sense the same things as her if I want.
[ Hopefully, that satisfies his curiosity. ]
If something happens to her and she dies, I lose the memories forever.
[ Oh, he would have been pissed to hear that when they were at the Lounge, but now that he's dealing with his own frequent memory loss it's even worse. ]
What the hell, Han Sooyoung!? That makes all of them super important! [ Bias, bias, bias.
He calms down quickly, though—and gives he avatar a headpat like she's some kind of catgirl. ]
Don't worry, Miss Avatar. I'm not going to let your shitty original abuse you. We're gonna have a great week watching movies and eating junk food...
[ This might be what she’s saying but her eyes say you won’t get your memories back ever again if you do that.
Maybe if he wasn’t clearly going through it because of the memory loss, she would have told him about that one time she gave one of her avatars too many memories. ]
[ He's so tempted to take that dare. But he doesn't—instead, he drapes himself over the avatar's shoulders. One hand finds hers and points towards the original. ]
Can't promise. Power is power, and I'm the type of greedy person who's always looking for an edge.
...I picked up the healing augmentation. I don't want to be useless when my friends get hurt.
[ To emphasize his point, Kaito loops his arms around the avatar's neck and squeezes gently. Warmth flows out of his body and into hers. ]
...Han Sooyoung, are you doing what I think you're doing?
[ Kaito lets go of the avatar, smiling like a cat who's just caught a mouse. ] I can tell when you're looking through your avatar's eyes, y'know. I'm that good.
[ His aura perception is that good, he means. ]
It's cute that you won't just ask for the attention. Maybe you're more cat-coded than I thought.
[ A beat. He squishes the avatar's cheek. ] I'll be careful, I promise. If anything bad happens, then you can kick my ass from here to Neo Korea and back.
[ —And then he feels a shift in the avatar's aura. That's definitely Sooyoung speaking. Glowering, Kaito lifts his hand again... This time, it's to SMACK the idiot right in the ass. ]
Don't dirty your avatar's mouth with foul language like that, dumbass.
[ Sooyoung is gone without a word. Maybe she just wasn't ready for spanking. And since he can sense her aura, she won't be able to mess with him through the avatar. ]
I'll remind you whenever you forget, so leave it to me. What kind of ramen are we making today?
[ She points that out as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Well, maybe it was to her—Sooyoung made sure to create her avatar with a memory of walking through the main base building to run errands.
And since Kaito said that he could use a hand... ]
Here. Take mine.
[ The avatar extends her hand towards him, waiting for Kaito to grab it so they can walk to his room. ]

[ Advice of the century, right here. ]
You basically need a babysitter. Good luck finding one.
no subject
[ ?????? ]
Isn't the usual insult 'go fuck yourself'???
I'll just stay in my room all week...
no subject
I guess it’s on me, then.
[ Just a few moments later, there’s one more Sooyoung standing next to her. ]
You can stay in your room and she’ll bring you food and stuff.
no subject
[ Don't react like you've never seen her clones you literally saved one of them weeks ago stupid—
Aaaaand Kaito proceeds to bounce around the Sooyoung copy, poking her cheeks, tugging at her clothes, flipping her hair. ]
How real is she, compared to you? Does she have the same anatomy? Mental capacity? Do you sense what she senses?
[ Why is he so INVESTED... ]

no subject
[ She might need to reconsider that KICK IN THE SHINS. That’s easier than accepting his words about her avatars being important. ]
It doesn’t have to be any important memory. She’s mostly made of… [ Wait a second. ] Right, I forgot.
[ She has to absorb her to remember. Also she omitted the fact that she’s getting her avatar’s memories once she goes back. ]
no subject
[ He sticks his tongue out. He has no idea what's gonna happen at the end of the week. ]
Still, a memory is a memory. I'm sure brushing your teeth last night doesn't sound really meaningful, but...
[ He trails off, shrugging. Taps his head. ]
I hope this week passes quickly. This kind of constant memory loss is...
[ Scarier than any kaiju. ]
Annoying as fuck.

Don’t go through the procedures ever again.

It’s a bit tricky to hold a conversation while switching point of views constantly, but she’ll manage. ]
Just tell me that you’re a self-sacrificial bastard on top of everything.
[ She’s going to beat his forgetful ass. And then she’ll fight him again when his memories are back. ]
Ah—
[ Switching back and forth is one thing, but she tapped in just when he started using healing touch. Fuck, if he figures out what she’s been doing— ]
Just don’t let them get hurt.
[ Skill issue… ]

Hmph. [ No more cheating for her. ] I’m getting plenty of attention.
[ She doesn’t switch in when Kaito squishes the avatar’s cheek which only proves her point!!! That’s what she’s going to tell herself, anyway. ]
You’re so dumb.
[ In other words, Sooyoung knows he wouldn’t let anything happen to her avatar. ]
Okay, I need to go. [ That story won’t write itself. ] She’ll follow you and listen to your commands. Text me if there are any issues, bye.
[ And she scrams, leaving Kaito with the avatar. ]
no subject
A beat passes. Then two. Three.
He slooooowly looks to the side at Sooyoung's avatar. ]
...So, uh.
I guess we're roommates for a week.
[ Hup. Kaito proceeds to toss the avatar over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. ]
Alright, let's get breakfast...
no subject
What are we eating?
[ Even if she's a sack of potatoes right now, it doesn't mean she won't say anything. ]
no subject
[ Kaito gives the avatar's thigh a poke. Will she even respond? ]
Do you know how to make ramen? I'll show you how to make ramen.
—Oh, and if I start talking like I've forgotten who you are or mistake you for your original, please remind me why I'm stuck with you.
no subject
[ Sooyoung wasn't kidding about the fairly limited conversations. The avatar nods and recites: ]
I'm stuck with you because you're a stupid bastard who decided that healing someone else is worth messing with his brain. Is that correct?
[ That is the original speaking. ]
no subject
Okay. This could be fun—
[ —And then he feels a shift in the avatar's aura. That's definitely Sooyoung speaking. Glowering, Kaito lifts his hand again... This time, it's to SMACK the idiot right in the ass. ]
Don't dirty your avatar's mouth with foul language like that, dumbass.

I'll remind you whenever you forget, so leave it to me. What kind of ramen are we making today?
no subject
[ Once she's gone, Kaito kinda awkwardly sets his hand on the avatar's butt, squeezing. Wait, why the heck is he groping her in the halls—
Healing energies flow from his hand to the affected area. This is healing practice. It's justified. ]
Shio ramen today. It's a simple recipe. I think you'll like it.
[ Off to his room!
If he can find it. ]
no subject
[ She reminds him with an amused tone. There's not a hint of mockery in her voice, which might make it sound a little strange.
Him groping her ass right in the middle of a hallway is also a little strange, so they're even. ]
Do you need directions?
no subject
[ Kaito huffs a laugh before setting her down. ] Everlight, room 9. I'm sure I can remember.
[ So he says, having brought the two of them to Brimstone's halls. ]
...
Maybe I could use a hand.
no subject
[ She points that out as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Well, maybe it was to her—Sooyoung made sure to create her avatar with a memory of walking through the main base building to run errands.
And since Kaito said that he could use a hand... ]
Here. Take mine.
[ The avatar extends her hand towards him, waiting for Kaito to grab it so they can walk to his room. ]
no subject
[ He's glad Sooyoung 1.0 isn't watching. This is embarrassing. Well, she'll get to see all this when she reabsorbs the avatar, but.
Kaito looks down at the proffered hand, frowns a bit, but begrudgingly takes it. The tips of his ears are pink.
Going around like this with March the other night was fine. They were on equal footing, sort of. This is... ]
...Geez. I feel like a little kid.
no subject
You're taller than me. [ A simple remark. ] I don't feel like a little kid just because I don't have most of Sooyoung's memories.
