[Event Post] Kaikori: The Eye of the Storm

::So anyone implicated with the disaster at Heartland City, you've been hurried away into Kaikori, the private gated community owned by the Wakahisa family.

It is a surreal place, caught in perpetual twilight. Resembling Ballonlea and Glimwood Tangle from Pokemon Sword & Shield, except the mushrooms are replaced with crystals growing out the ground and trees, it centers around a circle of shops and buildings including a convenience store, a gym, a small school to tutor the children of Noriko's friends and key employees, before branching out into company apartments to the south east, a motel and an inn to the west, and private homes in the North West to North to North East.

Perhaps you would like to take a break, interact with others, and breath before things likely get worse.

Fortunately, every time the government seems to come into Kaikori, they've been unable to locate Yamamoto Suzume, Wakahisa Noriko, or Mr. and Mrs. Tsukumo. So for now.

A piece of twilight paradise before things likely get so much worse.::

You're both doing well enough to move?

*your local physician has found you.*

*Kotori greets them with a small smile*

A little. We're still quite exhausted and hurt quite a bit, which is why we haven't gone too far from the apartment, but we felt we needed a bit of fresh air.

*When the both of them arrived, you found that, surprisingly, they didn't break anything in their tussle with the dragon, but Yuma had some severe bruising to his upper abdomen and Kotori had the head injury and a dislocated shoulder. Both also had pretty severe exhaustion from the battle.
Kotori now had her left arm in a sling and she would probably need some physiotherapy on it once the swelling and pain in the shoulder reduced.*
keepersouha: (ah... huh?)

You're lucky that neither of you ended up worse, you know. Especially you, with your head...

But I guess it's a good sign if you're walking around like this. Just be careful, though, and make sure you're resting as often as you can.

*crossing their arms a little, looking concerned*

You had fought some sort of... dragon, right?

[personal profile] kattobingore 2024-07-22 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)


Yeah, it was some kind of mechanical war machine dragon! Every part of it was a weapon and it had a nuke inside it!

Apparently it wasn't supposed to be used that way and was just made to be a deterrent, but maaan it packed a punch.

We only just managed to take it down between the two of us.
keepersouha: (neutral look)

[personal profile] keepersouha 2024-07-22 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
There weren't any others slinking around, right? None that could fly here?

Sounds like even just one of those was bad enough news to deal with. Though I guess I should be thankful it was a machine...
kattobingore: (Thinking)

[personal profile] kattobingore 2024-07-23 02:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, there was some kind of metal crocodile too, but I don't think it would've been able to get here.

It was chasing us, but we were able to lose it.
keepersouha: (annoyed)

[personal profile] keepersouha 2024-07-24 12:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Hnmm... I know Noriko has something around here to make it harder to find, if you're not already aware of it... So hopefully whatever these things are, or whoever tried to attack you, won't be able to follow to here, but there might be a problem if it comes to the surrounding area...

*sighing slightly* I'll admit though, I am little worried. This whole thing makes me feel like the type of situations that used to happen when I was in school... only now there's everything that poor excuse of a government is trying to do on top of it.

Yeah, it's difficult enough dealing with some crazy lady who wanted to nuke Heartland just to draw out one specific person, but the whole anti-monster stuff the government is pushing makes things even harder.

I mean, we saved Heartland and WE'RE supposedly the bad guys because we transformed into our other forms and used powers and stuff.

To be fair, we did probably destroy the fishing industry in that area, but the ocean was the nearest 'safe' place we could force the dragon into to absorb the explosion.

[personal profile] keepersouha 2024-07-24 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
To be fair, that is... probably an issue, but I'm half-certain that's what happened when some insurrectionists tried to launch a missile at Domino, from what I heard.

Man.
People really like launching large explosives at cities.

*Kotori goes quiet for a moment as a small frown appears on her face.*

I really hope our friends and family are okay and aren't too worried about us.
They don't know where we are and we don't want to risk contacting them in case it gets them in trouble.
keepersouha: (discussion)

[personal profile] keepersouha 2024-07-25 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
*... letting out a bit of a sigh*

I'm sure there's some way to get out word about this to them. Make a list of any primary people you'd want to let know, and I'll talk to Noriko about getting a message sent along that you're fine, somehow.

They don't need to know more than that, as long as knowing you're okay sets them at ease, right? That way, there'll be no reason to be questioned so much.

I think Yuma's sister, Tsukumo Akari, would be the first person that comes to mind. She'll be able to inform my parents that I'm fine too.

[personal profile] kattobingore 2024-07-25 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)


Oh man, sis is gonna KILL me with all this.
But she is probably super worried.

*Yuma thinks.*

Hmm. I guess letting Judai know we're okay would be an idea, since, y'know, I work for him AND we live in the apartment above him.

Aaand, Sakaki Yuya too, cos he's sent me messages probably asking if I'm okay, but I haven't dared open them or reply.

*had gotten out a small notepad, and was writing things down*

Fine. I'm sure with those three, word will spread among your inner circle enough. Obviously, there's always risks, but keeping information to a minimum should do it.

Thank you so much Souha-san. We really appreciate it if you're able to find a way to contact them and let them know we're okay.

We don't know how long we'll be here, so we don't want everyone worrying over us.
keepersouha: (... are you sure?)

[personal profile] keepersouha 2024-07-27 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Of course, it isn't a problem for me. Just as much as I'm concerned about your physical well-being, your emotional well-being is incredibly important to your recovery.
longingfreesia: (Pleasant Coversations)

[personal profile] longingfreesia 2024-07-27 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm! We really appreciate all the help you've been giving us in our recovery.
