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."

Lies humans say without any malice...things that people cannot verbalize...he knows of these things.
"If it is not something that can be solved so easily...I will not pressure you." Go had always...well, that's a little complicated. But Go had also had problems that couldn't be solved so easily; he hadn't clung to the tablet that had contained Banno for no reason. And the others...all his friends (and even some that weren't)...had not escaped such complicated things, either.
For the moment, the most important thing— "How bad is it? Your sight?"
no subject
He blinks a couple of times, but there's no improvement.
"Fuzzy? Like...I don't know if you've ever watched a TV that's got bad reception? It's like that--I can't make out the details. And the color isn't right."
no subject
He isn't being entirely unaware of how...inadequate that solution sounds as he says it. Lobco...hadn't seemed to need anything more than a hat. But she'd also said she could get re-accustomed to the sun.
"...If it persists...you may have to live with it. Are you prepared for that?"
no subject
The thought that his sensory loss may well be permanent has always been at the back of his mind. But hearing it out loud, he cringes for a moment before nodding slowly.
no subject
It's not a judgement or even just a simple observation—after all, Eiji could've always said 'no,' that he wasn't prepared.
"Are you forcing yourself?"
no subject
"Maybe."
But he's scared. And he's not really sure how he's supposed to tell anyone that.
no subject
"It does not...make it any easier, does it?"
no subject
It hasn't worked at all.
"I don't know how to get rid of these things."
no subject
At the end of the day, he supposes that's all he's getting at. He knows these kinds of issues aren't going to be easy.
"If you require it, I will assist you." That's what buddies do, right? (Other than fight, but never mind that.)
no subject
He's grateful, but he does look a little hesitant--something he explains by adding, "I just hope it doesn't end up with us having to fight to get them out of me."
no subject
Chase doesn't have any real qualms about it. And hell, as a Rider he can drag humans out of Fusion Roidmude; having to retrieve a foreign substance out of Eiji doesn't even register as something insurmountable or even difficult at this point in time.
no subject
"I don't want to end up hurting you, or anyone else either."
no subject
But, if possible, give me a moment to transform. [Of his forms, the Rider form is the best-suited for it, after all.]
no subject
I can't promise much, but I can try.
i messed up and changed the format oops ;;
...But they should probably hope it doesn't come to that.
"Is having to fight a real possibility?"
np!
"I don't know. I've got better control over myself than when I first got the Medals, but I don't know how far that'll extend."
The Greeed are so driven by their unsatisfiable desire that it's hard for Eiji to believe that they could even maintain a normal personality. But his Medals were the opposite--the complete lack of a desire. Since he already didn't have one, what would it mean for him? What could he do?
no subject
Especially since Eiji is dealing with so much other things already. Plus, both Drive's Dead Heat form and Heart's Dead Zone state became uncontrollable after a certain point—and in Heart's case, Chase had had to do something. It's good to know that it's something he might need to prepare for in advance.
no subject
"Thanks."
