020. [action | I'm not sorry]
[If you come into the games room tonight you'll find something a little out of place. Something a little strange.
Why it's nothing other than a grown man sitting on the couch, hugging his knees close to his chest and watching some magical girl anime on the TV-
...wait.
That's right, after that whole Light Rock Warriors incident you'd think Adachi would never want to look at magical girls ever again. On the contrary, the opposite ended up happening: he ended up searching up some DVDs and waiting until late at night when the games room was empty and unused to start watching said DVDs. Might as well, right?
Tonight though he's in there earlier than usual. Why? Because he's downright excited for the episodes of the latest season of Cutie Pure he's watching tonight. Too excited to wait till later. So the instant that he found it empty he's in there ready to go.
He looks like a big kid getting far too involved in what he's watching, a bowl of popcorn next to him]
You can do it Pure Symphony!! Save your papa!
[oh god someone please catch him and ruin his life......... (or join him)]

[But bringing up Nanako is a really good distraction tactic.] Yeah she does, kinda! I think Nanako-chan might have different colors though. Mostly pink with some white...maybe yellow accents too? But mostly pink!
no subject
Oh gosh, that'd be adorable.
Oh! But not too pink! Just the right amount and shades of pink! None of this over saturation crap they've been pulling lately.
no subject
[And look at that, the castle is giving them. He starts drawing frantically and coloring in--layering the colors if necessary-- and when he's done, it's rough and untrained but definitely a recognizable drawing of Nanako in a gorgeous Cutie Pure outfit.]
Something like that! Maybe a little more ribbons along the hem there, and the color ain't exactly right but...
no subject
THE CUTEST THING
EVER!!!!]
No, I think that's enough ribbons! Too many and the outfit becomes impractical. You need just the right amount of ribbons to be cute but not ruin the audience's suspension of disbelief when they see her fighting evil in it!
no subject
...a few pencil strokes add just the right amount of lace accents for that added cute but not too impractical.]
Yeah, you're right. You gotta be able to move in it. But that'll do! Half of the evil will die of the cute and she can kick the asses of the rest! ...Bet I could make it.

no subject
Oh but... what would her Pure name be...?
no subject
[Oh right. Her name. Well Souji said her arcana was justice, and justice was a bunch of angels, and if you're going with angel music... His conclusion is actually off-base, but oh well.]
...If we're goin' with the theme of Sweet... Pure Aria? 'Cause she's like a little angel and that's what they sing.
no subject
[he clears his throat and then speaks in a dramatic voice]
"Singing the aria of the soul, Pure Aria!" Uwaa, it has a real ring to it!

Oops.]

[Sudden silence. So very, very awkward. Should he say something?]
no subject
How did he know if Dojima would like it or not? He didn't even remember anything about the man.
Finally after an awkward silence]
Shame he's not here anymore.
[absently starts padding around for the remote again in order to start the next episode]
no subject
[And now he's not? Oh man, it must have broken Nanako's heart. ...and Adachi's too, by the looks of it. Damn. Kanji just goes quiet, turning his attention back to the TV.]
no subject
[so Nanako might've lost him twice. Not something he likes to think about.
He fiddles with it, getting the next episode ready, and is quiet for a while after it starts, before finally speaking up again during the opening theme song]
Have you figured out what your loss is yet?
no subject
[He feels awful for Nanako, to have her dad and suddenly not. He knows what it's like to lose a ... oh damn he doesn't want to think about it; that awful blank where his dad should be. He curls up, knees to his chest and only half watching the show.]
...Yeah. My dad. I...I can't remember my dad.
EDITS EVERYWHERE (FUU)
He looks away again. Huh, they're even sitting the same way now aren't they? It's a little surreal to him, to find he has something in common with one of the kids now.]
Wow. So we're in the same boat then. Mine is similar.
all the edits haha
I'm sorry. Feels like a piece of me got torn right out. It sucks. Must suck for you too.
[But he can't just sit and feel terrible. Even if he's scared he'll never get those memories back, he can't just lie back and take it. No giving up for any Tatsumi!]
's why I gotta keep looking and fighting. Gonna find out how to get back what the castle took and send everybody home.
[He falters on trying to sound hopeful, and winces at the thread of fear he can hear in his voice. But he's got determination and stubbornness in spades, so the fear won't hold him back.]
no subject
[that's something he mutters under his breath. He remembers what it was like back then, not even having a name or a face. Just blanks in his memory where a person should be. At least Tatsumi could tell it was his dad he was missing; Adachi couldn't even tell who was missing.
Yet... he's still not sure if he was better off back then when he didn't know any of that or have any of those things. When he was still ignorant. When he could pretend he forgot his girlfriend or something. When he wasn't busy asking himself "why that man?" stuck wondering why he was important to him at all forevermore. Nepeta called Dojima his "moirail" but...
He listens to Kanji and has to suppress an eye roll. Whatever. The kid will be stuck here for a year or two and realize how futile that kind of thinking is in time.]
Well if you do, don't send me home please. I'd rather be here than back in Japan.
no subject
Just 'cause I'm givin' you a pass here, doesn't mean you get a pass at home. When we find a way home you're going back to finish payin' for what you did. When you're done you can go on and do whatever you want, go wherever you want--hell, you could come back here if you really like it that much better--but you gotta stand up and be a man about your punishment.
1/2 tl;dr time omg i'm so sorry gjkdfhjkfd
Wow. You really think that? You really think that I'm going to get out of prison? You kids really had and still have no idea do you?
Well, let me fill you in on a couple things about our glorious legal system. As an ex-cop, y'know. [there's a smile on his face, but it's not the same as the one he had on while talking about Pure Nanako and magical girls. It's a bitter mile from a jaded man that almost feels predatory in nature.] You know what's in my future back home?
A nice noose strung up by none other than the legal system itself.
I'm as good as death row kid. Even with the lack of evidence, my confession and the public's clamor for my death will be enough for them to go ahead and do it. It'll take years and maybe the legal system will change in that time or someone will find a loop hole on my behalf, but trust me. They'll damn well try. Just like they do with every other murderer. The Fog Murderer will die just like every other murderer before him.
That's the kind of world we live in; that's the kind of justice we serve. And you know what? At one point I was completely fine with that. I would have rather died than ever get out of prison and live in that shit world we call "home" again.
but at least all my research finally went to good use... sob
But then this place happened. And things have changed. And you'll have to drag me kicking from screaming back to that place and away from this life and people I've grown to actually care about.
[that last part hadn't been intended. It just came out that way. He hasn't even realized what he just said. Maybe someone has been taking notes from all the friendship speeches in magical girl shows after all...?]
1/? ...We all love some good tl;dr
What? ...you ain't lyin'?
no subject
Adachi deserves to be punished, no doubt about that. But he wasn't behind the whole damn thing. Izanami's gone, and Adachi has a big part of the blame, but not all of it. There's his own guilt too, a whole boatload of it.]
I wanted to kill Namatame. Not even with the TV; I wanted to beat the shit outta him. I wanted him to hurt and die for what he'd done--what I thought he'd done. We almost did it too; if Souji-senpai hadn't stopped us...
[He shudders at the memory.] Thinking it over later, I realized how wrong it was. Made me a hypocrite. Revenge isn't justice. If he didn't deserve a second chance once he'd paid for what he'd done, why did I? I did a lot of shit back before... I probably woulda killed somebody eventually, or gotten killed myself. You heard all about it, if the other cops are anything to go by.

done. alskjf right back at you on the tl;dr I guess
