[Journal Post] [ALSO AN EVENT POST]

[knowinginthedark]

So uh.

Hm.

I think I might need to look into options to help support my body, I've come to vividly realize.

[Event Post]

*Sometime after Trena let things slip, Tarou finds himself in front of OOPARTS in the early evening. He made sure to stretch before this so he doesn't freak anyone out, but now.

He's wondering if he should've made an appointment first...?*

[hardcorebestcore]

Huh?

People have to... take care of bodies? OH!

Like diet and exercise, you mean?

I can help with that Mister Tarou!

[knowinginthedark]

Oh, that's very thoughtful of you.

You know anything on how to handle a spine that's been kept together with spit and a prayer, quite literally, by any chance?

[hardcorebestcore]

Have tried yoga?

Otherwise, I would maybe, um... suggest an actual doctor?

[knowinginthedark]

I'm trying to work yoga back into my schedule again, yes.

... I've seen a number of actual doctors already.

[hardcorebestcore]

Good!

... oh, like... literal prayer. Magic stuff.

Go see a magic doctor!

[knowinginthedark]

Would you happen to have any recommendations for that? I don't know a lot of magic doctors to pick from, or how they advertise.

[hardcorebestcore]

Nope! I don't get sick!

I can ask birthfather maybe?

[knowinginthedark]

Any help would be very appreciated!

I think I freaked out a fire guy a bit ago with how loudly my body cracked, so it might be a good idea to help this.

[hardcorebestcore]

Oh! Grandpa's in town?! I bet he has plans with lots of people! I'm gonna go put a stop to them, thanks mister Tarou!

[2/2]

[hardcorebestcore]

Also birthfather texted me too many emojis and then said 'I guess Sullivan?' and then 'wait don't tell that undead weirdo with the glasses, forget I said anything'

[knowinginthedark]

Sullivan, huh?

Can you tell me about this Sullivan?

[hardcorebestcore]

Um... I know they are birth father's weird sorcerer friend? Have been a hermit, for as long as I have been in Domino but he insists on leaving a spot out for them at big family gatherings.

I have never seen them, but think they may work at OOPARTS?

[knowinginthedark]

That's a place to start!

I'll look into this Sullivan then. Thank you.

Also tell your birth father that I'm decidedly not undead, just very broken up.

You probably should have. But you're in luck, as a figure emerges from the doors of OOPARTS, carrying a satchel and peering out into the evening, before their gaze falls on you.

"I would say we're closed, but I don't think anyone sleeps inside this building."

And then they focus a little more on you, making a tuneless humming noise. You two probably feel FAIRLY similar, honestly.

"Ah, are we about to be under attack?"

Re: [Event Post]

[knowinginthedark]

*oh god. I feel a kindred spirit. is-- is this what I should've felt about Mamoru if he wasn't possessed? Huh.*

... why would me being here mean you're about to be under attack? I'm here to find someone.

Re: [Event Post]

[autumnswarm]

It's very likely.

"Oh, forgive me. Most people who give off the same 'vibe' as I do would probably be attempting to siege our building.

Sullivan Adams. You would be?"

Re: [Event Post]

[knowinginthedark]

*oh-- OH!*

Satou, Tarou!

And you happen to be the one I was looking for!

Re: [Event Post]

[autumnswarm]

"Oh!

That's actually quite a surprise. I haven't been looked for for good reasons in..." They tilt their head, considering. "A decade...? Ah! No matter."

An actual smile crosses their face as they gesture you over to the doors. A peer has appeared and they are actually beside themselves with delight.

"I'll get a meeting room ready. Coffee, tea?"

Re: [Event Post]

[knowinginthedark]

Coffee would be excellent, actually! Or whatever you have that's going to have the most caffeine in it right now.

*going to accept your invite, and not because he's a vampire or something silly like that.*

::You find a woman in a gold dress and a very VERY light jacket walking past you, coming back in with food bought from a convivence store.::

Re: [Event Post]

[knowinginthedark]

*people wear gold? color me surprised.*

Oh-- excuse me, miss?

Re: [Event Post]

[autumnswarm]

"I have an experimental energy drink... It shouldn't cause you to spontaneously combust. You know, let's play it safe, I'll just make an extremely strong cup of coffee. I hope you like bitter."

Re: [Event Post]

[knowinginthedark]

Bitter's wonderful! I'll take bitter. Might be better to not be testing experimental things quite yet, no matter how tempting it is.

*he is a man who is entirely willing to donate his body to science.*

[becomeanwarrior]

[ You're in luck, Tarou - he's not exactly the man you're looking for, but he's probably the next best thing, sitting outside in the reception area with a laptop and some coffee that you can just feel has more caffeine than is decidedly wise. ]

[ He does look up when he sees you. ]

Ah! Mr. Tarou. It's been a minute, hasn't it? To what do I owe the pleasure?

Re: [Event]

[knowinginthedark]

Oh-- oh! Haita, yes, yes, I remember you. From the hospital and all that. Fun times.

*he's made his way inside*

I'm looking for a magical doctor that got accidentally recommended to me, actually.
