Verthaven: Days of Rain ☔ [COMPLETED]

While I'll still stick to the standard format used in this RP for the collabs, I'm going to experiment some stuffs for my own characters' subplots. (I'm already trying out epistolary for Haruka's solo parts.) Pardon me for playing around with new styles.

ENTRY #15712 | RAINY

It had been three weeks since Shizu and I came to Verthaven. A lot had happened during that period of time...and I had completely forgotten that I was still keeping a diary.

I did a bit of research about the place before we came here: sunny, close to the ocean so there were many beaches - very similar to the image of California so often depicted in Hollywood films. Father told us that we would be staying there with someone called Akemi, who was Mother's younger sister. Shizu was pretty excited about living in America (he kept raving about guns), but to me, nothing could be better than the peace and order in Japan or Singapore.

Verthaven showed us more than just the coast... We were even greeted by a raging storm on the first day. Arriving in a Chinatown that felt more westernized than those we had been to in other regions. Aunt Akemi was generally nice, though she had a bit of a scary side if we got into unnecessary trouble (most of the time courtesy of Shizu). Meeting our first friend in a foreign place - Trevor Obott - who further widened the circle, adding Cindy and Meifeng into the mix.

And then getting grounded for a week - again, it was Shizu's fault. Obviously he could not stay put in the room the whole time, and even got me to cover for him in case Aunt Akemi came in to check on us. Luckily she did not (the breakfast episode was a close call though), and brother was back by noon. Shizu was oddly silent for the rest of the day - no matter how I tried to question him he refused to tell me what was going on in that crazy mind of his. Later - during dinner - he then told Aunt Akemi and I that besides helping out with the laundry job he would be also working at Cindy's club.

What surprised me was not about Shizu, but Aunt Akemi's reaction: she did not bat an eyelid, making no comment. Shizu simply took that as a silent yes. After we went back to our room, Shizu then told me the reason was to pay off a debt he owed Cindy - something about a scooter. He also seemed to have suddenly matured ever since he slipped out that night. On the surface, it's a good thing - at least he stopped teasing me as much as before (even his jokes were becoming less rude) - but this change...made me all the more curious what exactly happened to him.

Ah, I should stop talking about that idiot brother of mine. There was another thing that happened yesterday.

Half an hour before we were closed, a young lady came to the cleaning shop. She was pretty in her own way: auburn-haired with a stylish bobcut, sea-green eyes, wearing a figure-hugging black suit... But that's not the point. It was how secretive she was with Aunt Akemi. Right after she entered Aunt Akemi brought her to the table and chairs at the corner. At that time I was still at the washing machines, so I could not hear what they were talking about over all the noise. After a couple of minutes the lady left, and Aunt Akemi had a frown on her face, deep in thought.

Ever since we arrived in Verthaven, Shizu had been saying about feeling an unknown bad vibe. Maybe he was right - something terrible was about to happen here. The strangely frequent rain, the weird behaviors in Aunt Akemi, Shizu and the mysterious lady...

I really had to say this: what the hell is exactly going on here?

Verthaven: Days of Rain ☔ [COMPLETED]

I guess Shizuka could be at the Candy Club with Cindy or where ever. Otherwise, Cindy's going to be at her apartment.

@Mr Allen J

Unless there's something major that might happen in the Club (like there's an event or something that would gather loads of people together in once place, I dunno), otherwise I think I'll just briefly skim through Shizu's experience working in the club (I'll ask you through Skype, easier that way) and move on to a subplot I'm planning at the moment.

Hm... She has a Honda 2007 Metropolitan Scooter. Which, after a little scouting, costs like a two thousand dollars rounded up (Compared to the newer models, it isn't that expensive). Though, she could have always got that shit off Craig's list for waaaaay cheaper.

@Mr Allen J

She probably still expects him to pay the full sum of two grands even though she can get it at a much lower price than that, I bet.

I thought about it, and dunno. I think with all the freaky deaky shit going on in Verthaven, it wouldn't really make too much sense to go. I know Cindy's not going no matter what.

@Mr Allen J

S'alright. We can leave that little teen dare adventure for another time. Well, Haruka is definitely with Cindy about that too.

Verthaven: Days of Rain ☔ [COMPLETED]

Woohoo. I'm finally through with my hopeless perfectionism and done with the rewriting of my CS.

Since my collab with Phil is a flashback (events that happen in-between the timeskips), I'm still open for anyone who wish to interact with my characters.

@Mr Allen J I'm under the impression that Shizuka has to work at Cindy's bar for at least 3 months (maybe even more) before he's cleared of her bike's debt. Well, I dunno how much her bike costs, and I'm not sure if all his salary will be deducted solely to get her a new scooter.

...Oh yeah, what about the Ghost Town Trip?

@King Tai@Blackmist16
Sorry peeps! I was traveling between Hong Kong and China the past few weeks (plus China's gracious censorship), my online time was very limited.

Now that I'm not going back to China (hell no) - I'm staying in HK all the way till Christmas and I'm pretty much done with the main attractions already, so I can spend more time to catch up with RP (which is A LOT haha). Pardon me if I need to rush off for dim sums. They're just that fucking good!

As for me, since I don't have such a wide taste for music like @Mr Allen J, I get by that with original soundtracks. Well, I'm more inclined to acoustic and orchestral music, yeah.

Verthaven: Days of Rain ☔ [COMPLETED]

@tsukune I don't see the point in adding IC events to their background since it's, you know, a back story.

@Mr Allen J

Oh yeah. I still want to rewrite them tho'.
_{Because I'm a hopeless perfectionist.}

<Snipped quote by tsukune>

And they'll never let you out.

@Mr Allen J

...Damn you. D:

Anyway, done with Shizu's personality! Still working on Haru's - and I think I want to rework on their backstory too, to include some stuffs that have already happened in IC so far.

_{EDIT: I should be rewriting the twin's personality but I'm still stuck in stupid meme hell.}
