Open: Liangyu's Request, Getting in Trouble Around Town, and Training
Who: Mikado Ryuugamne and You!
What: Catch-all log for interactions with Mikado, both mission and otherwise. Anyone is welcome!
When: Variable! Current-ish, if you need a specific date, name one in your thread.
Where: Around town. I'll toss up a couple setting options, so just choose one.
Rating: PG, one would think.
1) Liangyu's Request
Mikado's excitement throughout the entire "mission" was quite apparent: in fact, he's practically bouncing before, during, and after Liangy's talk. He doesn't bother trying to hide how excited he is about it, despite the fact that people might think him nerdy. He does want to learn as much as possible about the world he's in, and he also enjoys just learning anything he can.
After the talk, he can be found sitting down outside, already poring over the book he was given, his eyes wide and his entire attention on it. Feel free to approach him, call him a nerd, pick on him, or even nerd-gasm with him about how exciting learning about culture is!
2) Exercise time
Despite arriving injured and continually being banged up since then, Mikado is constantly training. Not just inside the fighter's guild, but outside it as well. He's determined to become a better fighter, but that requires more than just learning to use a weapon. He's never had good stamina, and now he's determined to work on that.
This is why he can be found around town, anywhere he can find space that isn't crowded. It's kind of a funny sight: the boy runs for a few steps, then walks for a few, then starts jogging again in a dogged attempt to keep moving. Approach him with training tips, laughter, or sympathy for his pain!

"It was like that at home too. I was involved in things I probably shouldn't have been, and got in over my head and got hurt. But I don't want to just avoid the issue, so I thought instead I would train to get stronger."
The reason why it was the fighters instead of the warriors is a little more complicated, but he's hoping not to be asked about that.
no subject
He's... really wondering if this is a good idea.
"Well, training will probably help and all, but... What exactly were you getting involved in?"
no subject
Should he really tell a stranger something like that? Back home his place in the Dollars is a secret, though Shizuo had known that he was a member to approach him. Then again, so had a few other people. They just hadn't known who exactly he was, except for Aoba and Izaya.
Mikado sighs, his expression thoughtful, and finally gives in.
"A gang war."
no subject
"A what."
This guy? In a gang war? Really? They had the same definition of "gang war" here, right? Well, no matter what, those words should still mean pretty much the same thing...
...
And yet, it's not making the slightest bit more sense to Wataru.
no subject
Mikado is already realizing that he probably shouldn't have said anything, but there's no point in lying about it here. He flushes and shifts from one foot to the other awkwardly.
"At home, right before coming here, I decided that course of action I had to take to end that war, so since I'm here instead, I should at least become stronger in preparation for that. That's what I decided."
no subject
"I can see where you're coming from if it's like that. Fighting isn't really as glamorous as the movies or games, but sometimes you just have no other choice." It was something he'd reluctantly had to learn while on his journey, after all.
no subject
"I didn't realize that at first. When I first came to the city and saw violence firsthand, it wasn't anything like what I had expected. There's no glamour at all in it, and it's dirty and scary and ugly. I barely managed to stand my ground at all. Did you feel that way, the first time you encountered violence?"
It seems obvious the other boy has, after all.
no subject
He'd been incredibly lucky that the Brave's Sword had its own way of helping him out with that.
no subject
Mikado's eyes go very wide at that. Of course, at first he's just thinking skeletons like he's seen in museums, regular old dead people. That's kind of weird, but not really scary. But then the boy says he was fighting them, and that's just... "You mean like UNDEAD ONES?"
He shakes his head, suddenly quite grateful. "I-I only had to deal with gangsters. Well, and a fairy, but she was on my side mostly, so..."
no subject
"But wait... You saw a fairy? A real one? Even I've never gotten to do that!"
no subject
He pauses. "But her story is a little sad too. She can't find her head. I was trying to help her, but the girl we thought had it... didn't. So I'm not sure if she'll find it. At least she has her freedom though... I can't imagine having to work for someone even after you died. So you were setting them free, right?"
