(no subject)
Characters: Eiji, OTA
Date: Feb 22 - 24
Location: Around Aifaran and the Dreaming Bridge
Situation: Friendship knots, sensory loss, and talents
Warnings/Rating: None yet
1 - Arts 5
Eiji's spent quite a bit of time learning the different knots from the Tifaut's booths around the city, and he's gotten good enough that a couple of people around have commissioned him to make some--partly because it's more personal than buying them at a stall, and partly because he can't bring himself to charge very much other than what someone wants to donate.
Come to pick one up? Come to help and make some money yourself? Or just want to talk? He's mostly at the beach.
2 - Vision
It happens as he walks back to the Dreaming Bridge--his eyes suddenly turn purple, and as he looks ahead at the city, he can barely make it out. Everything has lost its detail, like he's getting poor TV reception, and the colors he's picking up are distorted.
"Not again," he whispers, stumbling backwards in fear. There's no way he can find his way back on his own.
3 - Talent: Restoration
The moments of vision loss have gone away for now, but nothing's changed about Eiji's sense of taste being gone. Still, he tries to help out in the Dreaming Bridge's kitchen, and even if he can't taste anything that's being made, he can at least sort out the vegetables that are starting to go bad.
He sniffs some kind of milk-like liquid and makes a face.
"Okay, I think that's starting to go."
Except...no, it's not, all of a sudden. He feels some kind of weird sensation, and he thinks he's about to have another bout of sensory loss, but...no. The milk, or whatever it is, suddenly seems to smell right.
He looks over to someone else there.
"Uh, can you smell this for me? I thought it might be going bad, but now I'm not sure."

He plucks a leaf off one of a cabbage-looking thing and twirls it between his fingers. "Are you going to need a cook, or will you just be distributing them like this?"
...Look, he doesn't know how charities work... (He can't cook that well, anyway.) "We might need to recruit some more people." Also, a building, maybe. "Know anyone else who'd be interested?"
no subject
That sounds a lot more complicated than he was ready for, and already, he's starting to feel anxious. How badly is he going to screw this up?
"I...I thought maybe just dropping them off at a soup kitchen. But I guess, over time, if we could put together the resources, a separate one might work..."

Eiji's way is way less effort, which he can get behind. "I didn't know one already existed!" He doesn't normally think of that kind of thing, in his defense.
"I'm not much of a handling resources kind of guy," he adds somewhat sheepishly. "You've done this sort of thing before?"

Eiji sighs and rubs at the back of his neck.
"To tell the truth, I once tried to run a much bigger charity, about a year ago. I was raising money for a school, but...it went bad, and the money was funneled into an ongoing conflict. So I'm kind of scared of trying to do something that big again."
no subject
He'd say something encouraging about not giving up, but that...can backfire. And from that story, Eiji probably knows more than he wants to about things backfiring, unfortunately.
"Sometimes, things just don't work, huh."
It'd been a hard lesson for him to learn, himself.
But they're both here now. That's gotta count for something. "Good thing you were in here when you figured it out!"
no subject
"Yeah, good point."
