[A great big Paradisa star chart spans across two pages in a red pen, with some of his older made-up constellations lightly sketched in with pencil. Looks like he's adding some new ones, too]
[there is the sound of something bring swung through the air in repeated, rhythmic strokes; Subaru is in the courtyard, practicing swordplay by himself. wtf 11-year-old with a sword?]
I fell asleep! [More rustling as Subaru gets up and takes off running for his room] DiditchangediditchangediditchangemaybeIcanseethemagain--
[suddenly, there's a strong fragrance of flowers and sea spray from the journal. Subaru stands in his new dream, a violet setting sky reaching out above endlessly, and a familiar field of pink and yellow flowers sprawls below.]
Mom...? Dad...? Hey, anybody out here...! Hey...
[His calls grow fainter and less urgent until silencing altogether, replaced by the sound of faraway waves crashing on a shore. Without noticing- or particularly caring- Subaru has taken the place of his dream self, lying with half-lidded eyes in the bed of flowers with his arms around a similarly relaxed Tsukasa.]
[Subaru's voice sounds slightly echoed and distant, as if he were in a large room- which it probably would be if his room weren't a great big white... nothing. Subaru stands alone in the centre, moving to turn around only when he feels the gaze upon his back.]
...No... M-mom?
Mom, is... is it really you?
[The boy is struck dumb for a moment as his long-gone father appears as well, the parents standing just out of arm's reach.]
Dad!!
[Subaru runs at them, overjoyed, arms outstretched... but despite how he runs, he can't get any closer.]
Mom! Dad! I-I missed you so much, I- H-hey... Why can't I... wait!!
Where are you going?!
No! NO! Come back! MOM, DAD, MOM...!!
[some strangled sobbing... and then a sharp gasp as Subaru realizes his parents aren't the only ones standing out of his reach. Fading in and out of sight are friends, loved ones... people he'd left behind and people he'd seen go, each one tantalizingly close, but impossible to approach.]
[OOC: Some of the people are people he's met in Paradisa, so feel free to notice them/wtf at their being there as you pass by :Db]
[Angry recluse boy has angrily left his room for the kitchen as he has forbidden ghosts to come visit him. Have some recorded grumbling as Subaru struggles to cook with a non-automated kitchen.]
Does anyone here have knowledge on building or repairing advanced or 23rd century electronics, particularly the kind that deal with electromagnetic waves?
[drawn here are a couple made-up constellations that match Paradisa's stars- a few of them are drawn with so much pressure that the lines rip through the page. they've all been drawn on over and over again and there are many rips in the page where the pen has broken through and bled in places.]
[the sound of glass and plastic pieces being shuffled around on a table in the library, as Subaru mumbles sleepily- the journal is conveniently open :D]
I wonder... yeah, knowing this place, it's probably all Visible Zone. It should be just fine if he ever... but then, I doubt it. Bet we could find a way out, though.
[more glass clinking and shuffling]
I didn't have a use for them here, but... [voice cracks] Amachi-san'd kill me if he knew I broke the Vi--...!!
