Entry tags:
open to anyone at the theater
🧙 WHO: Taichi Nanao + anyone around Kaika, though it'll be really awkward if you aren't close but I'm cool with it
⚔️️ WHAT: Taichi has become a lord, but Hikaru has disappeared. The solution is him crying on his office floor because he doesn't want to be home.
🕒 WHEN: April 22nd, any time
🗺️ WHERE: Kaika Theater
⚠️ WARNINGS: Loss and sadness. If you're looking for his usual happy self, you're not gonna get it this time. Sorry!
[ Futility was a good word for what Taichi felt. It's one he only knew because he was into theater, and theater often went for dramatics, but his first true heartbreak and loss suddenly made dramatics feel that much more palpable. He'd tried calling, texting, looking, yelling, running, calling, looking, DMs, crying, looking, running, looking, looking-
Hikaru was gone. His fiance was gone. Gone from this world, away from him. It had been almost a full day since he'd seen him. He hadn't slept, he hadn't really eaten anything. People don't tell you that the five stages of grief don't actually happen in order. Even knowing what they were for acting couldn't have prepared him for this.
He couldn't go home anymore. He couldn't see that empty bed again, Hikaru's things, he couldn't sleep in a cold bed. He had thought it was cute when Hikaru couldn't sleep alone, but now he understands that having someone to be with like torn apart from you is a kind of loneliness not easy to explain or understand until you've felt it.
So now he lays on the floor in the office at Kaika-- "his" office, one he never really understood nor could manage on his own. A place that Hikaru visited, but a place that felt like it could be home even without him there. There was nowhere he wasn't going to feel lonely, but at least here, he felt safe.
He keeps the door closed for a long time, just staring at the ceiling, alternating between breaking down crying and laying silently, numbly. Taichi never does well on his own though, and at a certain point of processing, he decides to call attention to himself. He needs attention. He needs someone. ]
Guess... guess what! I've become a lord! Lord Taichi Nanao..! [ He laughs, but it's hollow. He's still got his back to the floor. His face is puffy and wet from tears. He shuts them tightly, covering his eyes with the heels of his palms, his voice cracking just a little. ] Lord of the Floor! I'm never getting up again!

awkward is anna's middle name / title or whatever else all the time anyway
Okay but that's not how you play the Floor is Lava!
[... She says that before she even thinks about it too but she stops and takes a step and another step back to the door. There's something-- In his voice, that has Anna all sorts of worried and she can't just walk away.
Why would he never get up again?? So, Anna knocks on the door in the same way as she always knocks on every door these days. It's apparently her signature way of knocking on closed doors ever since Elsa decided to shut her out all those years ago. Not that she's about to start singing behind his door!!]
Taichi? It's Anna. [More or less obviously.] May I come in?
no subject
[ That's his response... he doesn't say she can't come in, and his sobs at least quiet a little since he waits for her to come in, trying to calm himself down a little for her. It's not really working very well. ]
