Traversing the Worlds: 2

[thekingofkamenriders]

[Action A: 7135 Brooks, locked to housemates and possibly Marvelous and Ambrosia.]

[Tsukasa hasn't had a happy morning thus far. In fact, it could be said that he was in a lot of pain right now, due to the rum from the bonfire that Ambrosia threw the night before. He shouldn't have drank anything, but...well, he had to prove a point. What that point was, who knows.]

I'm going to kill both of them. I mean it.

[Its great to have friends, isn't it?]

[Action B: MacCready & Son's Law Firm]

Look, I just think that John needs to get his dog to stop going on my lawn. Is that so much to ask, Mister Kadoya? I may have to utilize your services soon if it doesn't stop.

[There is a click and a whirr, the drone blinking slightly as Tsukasa puts down his camera.]

Well, if you ever decide to do so, be sure and come back.

[As the drone leaves, Tsukasa just lays his head down on the desk, still suffering from the effects of a hangover. This day couldn't get any worse.]

[Action C: Around Mayfield]

[Tsukasa had lived through the hangover and the boring day at work, but now is the time to finally do what he really wanted to do: Walk around and take pictures. If anyone would like to be his subjects, they just need to talk to him!]

Comments

[He smirks.]

That was pretty much what my whole journey used to be. I thought that I'd found a place that accepted me, but it turns out that I lost that, too.

[queen_of_swords]

[She considers this a moment.]

Maybe you shouldn't worry about if a place accepts you, if you're happy, then you belong.

[thekingofkamenriders]

[Tsukasa just looks at Olivier, a slightly sad look on his face.]

That's what I had found, before I made it here. It wasn't perfect, but I found happiness, with Natsumikan, Daiki, Yuusuke, and the rest.

[queen_of_swords]

[She frowns for a moment, the grit her teeth in determination.]

Then, you can't give up hope that you'll get home, and have to keep working towards it!

[thekingofkamenriders]

I don't think you understand, Olivier. I don't want to go home. I've been 'home'. Decade's World was where I was from.

[He looks her directly in the eyes, and there is something burning in his.]

What I want is to go back to her.

[He looks back down at his camera, frowning.]

She's my real Home. Not Decade's world.

[queen_of_swords]

Home is where you want it to be, not where people tell you it is, so if it's with this her, then that's where you belong. My home is with my troops, wherever that shall be.

[thekingofkamenriders]

[Tsukasa gets a grim look on his face, then nods.]

Hrm. Maybe...I will try to develop some of these pictures, then.

[queen_of_swords]

You might just get some interesting results. Did you stop developing pictures where you're from?

[thekingofkamenriders]

[Tsukasa shakes his head.]

No. I developed the pictures so I would be reminded of what I saw, and the people that I connected with, even if they did turn out horrible.

[queen_of_swords]

Good, you shouldn't run away from something like that, you never know when it could be useful, but don't let it bother you, either.

[thekingofkamenriders]

[He actually looks a little upset about that.]

I wasn't running. I was just...setting it aside for a while to come back to.

[That's right, Tsukasa. You can't have people think that the destroyer of worlds was scared of something.]

[queen_of_swords]

[Yes, she recognizes that for an excuse, she knows how to evade topics like this, has done so herself, but lying to himself won't help at all.]

Did that help?

[thekingofkamenriders]

Well, it hasn't hurt me any.

[He sighs a bit.]

Look, I promise that I'll develop the pictures in a few days.

[queen_of_swords]

[She nods.]

Then I'm sure you'll let me know how they turn out next time we meet.

[thekingofkamenriders]

Your photos will be the second ones that I develop. I've already promised my first to someone else.

[queen_of_swords]

I don't care about who they're of, just how they turn out.
