paradisalost | 020. [action

[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)]

[It's only then that he even tries to tackle the rest and shit. Shit. Adachi cares about people. He'll believe it when he sees it, but that expression rings a bell. All that defensiveness, resorting to lashing out out of fear and anger. Oh yeah, he knows that expression. If the world was gonna hate him and be afraid of him he damn well was gonna give them a reason. He wasn't going to let them kick him while he was down; he'd hit them first. He doesn't like Adachi, but if this is true--big if--then maybe Adachi isn't entirely so different from the rest of them. Lost and hurting and running from his own fears and bad sides.]

I... I don't know. Dammit. I hate this.

[he still can't believe he cares about people either. Realizing what he said, he has to stop and think for a moment: who did he mean when he said that...?

He listens quietly. To be honest most of the stuff Kanji's saying means relatively nothing to him... but he guesses(?) he can appreciate that last sentiment.

He waves his hand dismissively] If it helps you sleep easier at night, you could think of my loss as continued punishment, considering the castle brought that person here then took him away again. [it was cruel as fuck thanks castle] Not to mention all the other shit it's done and will probably keep on doing.

[...Oh. Dojima. Adachi doesn't remember Dojima and... He can imagine trying to face his dad and not remembering and... He shudders. But yeah, he can see how it's a punishment, and the castle kind of is like a prison. On the other hand, he's with a bunch of innocent people.]

I don't like it, but I guess you're kinda right about that.

[A long pause.] Long as you don't do bad shit again, I'm willin' to live and let live.

[yeah it went pretty badly]

Well lucky for the both of us, that's exactly what I plan to do: not do bad shit.

There's worst people here than me that you should be spending your time worried about instead.

[He's not really comfortable with all of this and it shows.]

Good. And I'm tryin' not to go and judge people before I know 'em.

[welp, Adachi's not all that comfortable either so at least they share that. Man this whole conversation has gone a lot better than he ever would've expected though]

Well luckily the worst case offenders will probably let you know they're trouble before you even have a chance to judge them. [eyes back to the tv] And it looks like the worst offender was already sent ho-

Kyaaah!! Pure Tempo! Fight-o, fight-o!!

[...................welp.]

Hey, wait, what're you--

[You know, he wants to ask Adachi to finish that but...

yeah, he loves this just as much as Adachi does. The TV has won his attention once again.]

You can do it! Go, go!
