That's the sound of the police [Open]

[justbeingknife]

Featuring: Majima Gorō and OPEN.
What's happening: Catch-all for bar shenanigans, baseball, exploration, and wandering around after horrible PTSD nightmares
Day: Throughout April
Content warning: Cursing, mentions of organized crime/violence. SO THE USUAL.


A: The police them have a little gun

[ At some point well after midnight, the time had changed from being exceedingly late to exceedingly early. 3AM? 4AM? All Majima knew was that his body felt heavy, but his mind was loath to stop spinning.

He had a lit cigarette in hand as he found his way to the fountain, and here at least he could watch the stars reflected in the pooled water. They shone with a cool light he'd never been able to see back home. And should he run into anyone here or on the way, he might as well stop and ask: ]

Trouble sleeping?

B: So when I'm on the streets, I walk around with a bigger one (During April, gym on a rainy day)

[ The anniversaries are the worst.

He’d said something like that to Will not a month ago, feeling at the time that it was both true and needed.

But remembering a thing and living it were two different things. The small contraption in front of him launched its pitch; there was a crack of the bat as Majima hit it square on, sending the baseball whirling into the net beyond. He propped the tip of the bat against the polished wood of the gymnasium floor, turning to look back at whoever had come up behind him. ]

Too bad this ain't for real. Woulda been a home run.

[ Small consolation when your brother was on death row. ]

C: Whoop-whoop, I hear it all day (Throughout April, karaoke only on rainy days)

[ Throughout the month of April, Majima could be found at the bar off-and-on between trips to Paris and elsewhere. Visitor might be lured in by the smell of pizza (something he was still trying to perfect in the days leading up to the festival), overhear the faint strains of music from inside on a rainy day, or simply walk in to find him measuring off wood or bits of wire for some sort of construction project.

As long as the sign read OPEN, there was plenty of room for interruption.

...Maybe even if it said CLOSED. ]

D: Just so they can run the light and be upon their way

[ Majima picked his way along the street, occasionally pausing at one of the quaint, crowded old storefronts to see a small gallery, a restaurant, a book store. On the other side of the old pavement were what he assumed were old residences. Which might contain valuable resources? Which were most likely to be moldering death traps? ]

I hear in the future, they call this 'urban exploration'. Buncha kids with too much time on their hands wander around takin' pictures of condemned parks, churches.

Stuff like that.
