video; (backdated to the 16th during triple moon)
Hey, everyone. It’s Otonashi. [ sporting new fuzzy additions in the form of vulpine ears, deep red markings following the curve of his cheeks, and multiple tails he neatly tries to keep tucked offscreen to keep it less obvious, less personally distracting as he adjusts. really, one tail would have been enough. but, fine. it’s fine. ]
I’ve noticed there wasn’t an influx of newcomers last month, or more recently... Maybe the flow of people has slowed or stopped, but for those of us still here — the time spent away from what you knew can feel terrifyingly long. We should still be here for each other. So, I’m still planning to have a community meetup on the 20th like always, after the moon effects have passed and we’re all ourselves. Anyone is welcome. Even if all you want is to come by and hang out, steal snacks, or get a quick boost of chroma... You come to the event decent, I’m not advocating for public sex, we go in the back for that if that’s what you’re after, thanks—
[ he clears his throat, waving a hand dismissively as if to wave off the awkwardness he had unwittingly let through. ]
I mean that as in the back of the— you know what, forget it. I ... really should’ve rehearsed. Uh, drop by the community center if you want.
Something else, something else, um... [ he can save this, it’s definitely, certainly fine as long as he powers through. ] H-has anyone tried reading or listening to a “choose your own adventure” story? Visual novels, choice-based fiction, that kind of thing. If not, would you like to? It’s like reading a book, but with pictures and some options that change the outcome. Maybe if you’re bored or want a crazy bedtime story or... I don’t know. Hah.
[ he might as well try to make something amusing out of his pre-existing overactive imagination. ]
( edited aka “why I shouldn’t post as I’m on my way to work.” all good. ❤️ )

[ he can only hope that talk of the mundane, of safe, lighter topics, will project enough calm and security for Aegis to feel comfortable even if the topics might veer into uncomfortable territory.
touch may not always be easy, but it is a necessity. aversion is an unfortunate—and unsafe—barrier. ]
I’ll start on some tea, then. I hope green tea is fine. [ with a few taps to his device, he sends the location over to Aegis’s, hoping that the directions and landmarks are clear enough. ] And let me know if you have any trouble, okay?

Green is fine. I'll head out shortly then.
up to you if you want to keep going here, inbox, or whatever else 💕 I’m easy!
[ before he had even sent the message over, Otonashi had set out two small cups, fixing the kettle on the stove and prepping a space that he can only hope will soothe and calm. the lighting he keeps in the house is naturally on the warmer side, always dim in the evening unless he’s working on a project or engaging in a tutoring session.
he had already explained the worst of moon cycles without receiving backlash; he can be very cautiously optimistic about how Aegis is faring, and how he might fare with a little more support. ]
I'm good here, and apologies for the delay!
It was just difficult for him to really let those walls down after so long of building them up. In a sad, sick way he knew it was more damaging than protective but it had been the only way he knew how to get through his training and the subsequent years after without completely breaking down.
And now he was here.
Approaching the door to where he'd been given directions to he couldn't help but let a sigh escape as he once again was going over those things in his head.
Would he have to turn into a crystal to stop self sabotaging? Only time could really tell now, but he was just stubborn enough to not turn back and did finally knock with some hesitation.]
