i — beach borg
[ Genji hasn't been to the beach proper in quite a long time. And between helping clear it out and trying to distract himself from the fact that his brother had vanished, it seemed like a good decision as any to head on down.
He's sitting under an umbrella, probably the most of his cybernetic prosthesis removed as he possibly can manage. His face is fully uncovered, as well as his neck (the extent of his jaw replacement is obvious now, jutting down into his throat) and his left shoulder and arm up to his elbow is noticeably still flesh. Scars are scattered on his still organic parts, and the cybernetic forearm and hand looks as if it was surgically added later instead of a result of his previous physical trauma. He's also got swim trunks and a black sleeveless shirt on, with three streaks of sunscreen on his cheeks reminiscent of a certain somebody.
Genji is taking the time to spray sunscreen on his still fleshy parts, because rubbing lotion when you've got metal and silicone hands and joints that can easily get gunked up his not enjoyable. Oh, he's also sitting in front of a curiously large and pink mecha of sorts.
If someone approaches him, he smiles. ] It is keeping an eye on me. [ A pause. ] And I am instructed to tell you 'Do Not Touch.'
ii — fireworks
[ Now fireworks are always fun! But only if you get a great view. And thankfully Genji has an uncanny ability to scale just about anything, so those pesky cliffs you might be thinking would be a great vantage point are no problem at all.
He easily climbs it, limbs lighting up green in the ever darkening sky, and reaches a metal hand down to you. ] Here, I will pull you up!
iii — date! (closed to shigeru)
[ Once the festivities for the time seem to have died down, he figures it's a good time to invite Shigeru out on his promised 'date.' It may have been a 'date' in the eyes of the auction, but Genji was just thinking of it as a reason to see someone he was starting to think of as a good friend.
Especially after that... interesting text conversation he'd had with that person. What did they say their name was, Dodger? Roger? Something? Hm. He definitely wants to bring it up... he worries that there might be people trying to take advantage of Shigeru's kind demeanor.
Genji decided to bring him to one of his favorite meditation spots, a beautiful serene place by the river. Just far enough from the main parts of the city that it wasn't loud, but not far enough to be dangerous. He's brought a little thermos of tea and some snacks and he figures they can just have a nice chat.
He gestures to it when they arrive. ] Is this all right?
ii — tea bros (closed to eichi)
[ Since seeing each other at the parade, Genji and Eichi had run into each other a few times to have tea at a local little cafe.
Genji is waiting for him at the table they have apparently claimed for their chats, but his expression is just slightly more melancholy than usual. He has come to the realization that his elder brother is absolutely gone, vanished without a word and a trace. Back through the portal, it seems.
Genji is... Genji doesn't quite know what to do or how to feel right then. But he doesn't plan on letting it sour his or his companion's mood. He smiles whenever Eichi approaches. ] Greetings.
no subject
[He does point out a nice black tea that he's feeling like, though, as he pauses.] I'd like if even someone like me could help you in some way with this. If listening is all I can do, then at least allow me to do that.
no subject
[ He looks out the window a moment, then turns back. There's no reason to be alone, he reminds himself. There are people always willing to lend an ear. ] It is rather difficult because— [ Their family history is just so damn complex. ] —I hadn't seen my brother for a decade until we reunited. We were essentially getting to know each other again and now he's gone.
[ He sighs, a rough sound, and some mechanism or gear inside him whirrs as his shoulders lower. ] Our relationship is very complicated. But I didn't think I would miss him again so soon.
no subject
[Eichi chuckles, folding his hands over the table.] It would be easy to make that mistake. There are those that I miss that I hadn't realized I'd long for so immediately, or so strongly... Though again, I don't have any relationship like a brother. It must be that much stronger.
no subject
No point in what ifs, in doubt. Genji straights his spine a bit. ] All I can hope is that he has some peace back home. And I will see him again, some day. [ Of that, Genji has to be certain. ]
Truthfully? I do not like being caught off guard.
no subject
[Their tea is brought over, and Eichi allows it to steep, playing with the edges of his plate as he does.] But I'm certain that he will find some peace. All of those who are able to leave this place must have found themselves more secure at home, right?
no subject
[ A sigh, and he shakes his head. ] Unfortunately a bow was never my area of expertise, but if you would still like me to give you some kind of training I would be more than willing. Maybe these? [ Shurikens pop out of his left knuckles with a flourish before they disappear into his hand again. ]
