[ Okay, that was a bad idea to say, wasn't it. Because Robby does see what's happening, though he's actually distracted by the question--because even Robby needs a second to go 'Uh....' and think about that, his Lawrence braincell activated.

How do you know what's enough or too much? Why does everyone give this shitty nonsensical advice anyway?

It's in trying to figure out that vague advice the Robby looks around as a stall, and then--shit. ]


Whoa whoa, hey, hey. [ He lifts their joined hand and turns to her, stepping in front of her. ] You're in your house, you know your own house. You don't need to overthink what your house is, right? You can put anything in your house!

[ Is Robby's voice rushing because he's a tad scared about everything around them disappearing? N-no, and you can't prove otherwise!!! ]

[ It's okay, Robby can handle a hand-squeeze. He's only focusing on Chizuru initially, since he doesn't particularly want the world to fuzz around them--kind of weird and creepy, to be honest. But he does catch from the corners of his eyes when everything seems to settle, and he dares to look either side of Chizuru's head to confirm that, yes, phew, she got the world back right again.

And Robby gets to enjoy that relief for a millisecond before she yelps and he jumps. ]
Wh-what? What?

[ That second what? is a note higher, and he looks the way Chizuru is to see-- ] Oh shit!

[ Sorry for the potty mouth, bestie, but Robby couldn't stop from letting that out with how instant it was, Robby startling to turn back the way he was facing before to keep the fake Robby in his view.

And Robby, a teen with too many movies watched and not with all his braincells currently functioning: ]
He's not gonna attack us, is he?

[ He would if this were a movie......... this is why he still doesn't regret trying to attack Mister LaRusso with a stapler. ]

[ Wow, Chizuru? Chizuru. Robby is going to swing his head to look at her with the most incredulous expression. Raising their held hands as he says, ] Yeah?

[ Waggle waggling their hands as if to further indicate, yes, he's been here the entire time?? He does glance the other Robby's way, but it's true that an unmoving clone?? Weird and creepy and not what Robby wants to focus on here, so-- ]

Okay, all you have to do is--make him disappear. [ Clearly. ] You know I'm the real one, so wish him away.

[ There, see? This is how that works! And just to add to the obvious reasons why he should be gone, with a joking tone as he gestures over to Fake Robby: ] He's not even as charming as the real thing!

[ Clearly, who wants a second-rate Robby just for his looks??? ]
strongroots: (same five songs)

[personal profile] strongroots 2023-03-27 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ Wow, who said Robby was joking??

Nevermind the details. Robby isn't keeping his eyes on his own other self either, turning back to Chizuru and her hard at working wishing-away self. Not until she asks if the job is down, and Robby looks, and manages to keep the shit! he nearly lets out locked in his throat.

But also, despite that initial reaction, and having a second to stare dumbfounded at what's happened...Robby really can't help but to take in the sight. Opens his mouth to ask something, closes it, and then, opening again: ]


Hey, what do you think I'd look like in a guy's kimono?

[ Why not, right. Why not. Let's see what we can do with this! ]
strongroots: (point of vieeeww)

[personal profile] strongroots 2023-03-28 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Robby's such a clever guy.

Because yes, he does look at his other self, a furrowed brow as he has to take in both the outfit, and decide if he likes observing this Robby doll (even if he is the one prolonging its stay....). Does he like the outfit itself? That's hard to say, never having really considered the thing, but--

but maybe he should consider his confused sounding friend, and get her up to speed. He gives their joined hands a wiggle. ]


Look.

[ It's that simple, Chizuru. Behold, your dream Robby who hasn't gone anywhere, but is now dressed like one of your Japanese boyfriends, and smiling charmingly. ]
strongroots: (dontsuppose)

[personal profile] strongroots 2023-03-30 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, that immediate reaction was worth it. ]

--So what? [ But unfortunately, Robby doesn't get the true meaning behind Chizuru's fluster, though his question is framed as a faux offend. Does he look goofy to her? He thinks that might be the case, considering he thinks this dressed-up showing-off smiling Robby is very goofy looking to him, that he's become more of a joke to the real Robby than something creepy.

Well, 1% creepy, 99% cringe.

But it's alright, Chizuru doesn't need to answer him as he laughs lightly, pulling their joined hands to rest against the side of his stomach. No reason, other than as a playful tug. ]


C'mon, you can make him disappear. I mean, just imagine...a wardrobe's there instead! [ Now he's using their hands to gesture to the fake-Robby-who-should-be-turned-into-a-wardrobe. ] That'll cover him up.
strongroots: (wheewhosimcal)

[personal profile] strongroots 2023-03-31 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ A wardrobe made a lot more sense to make appear than some old guy. An old guy with quite the bald head, which is what Robby first notices about them (other than they aren't furniture), a small noise made when he appears. Robby doesn't recognise them, obviously, and he can't make any immediate guess; there's the man that Chizuru said saw her like a daughter, and maybe there's some other older men in her life.

--And there is, sort of. A man about as much in Chizuru's life as his own dad had been in his. The information stuns Robby, a small 'oh' escaping him as he figures how to feel. Or--how does Chizuru feel? Robby's definitely glancing her way, though sneaking looks back at the figure. ]


...What do you wanna do?

[ He could suggest making him disappear, or trying to move around the house--maybe they could go outside, even. Robby isn't sure what the right move might be, so he's waiting on more from Chizuru.

He's not exactly dad of any year, but--dads are dads. Unfortunately. ]
strongroots: (every time i see it)

[personal profile] strongroots 2023-04-02 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It would be awkward, Robby thinks, if he saw his own father--if he wasn't in the city. His own mom too, but he thinks about his dad, their own history, if they weren't trying to patch things up.

...but it's not a deep thought. He squeezes Chizuru's hand, though it's doubtful if she'll feel it with her already gripping tight to it. ]


Sure--I wanna see where you came from.

[ It's sincere, a touch soft, and even if there isn't much, it's her home. Better any other room than this one, with Robby hoping the old man's figure will disappear if Chizuru has other things to think about. ] Maybe one day I can show you where my mom and me were staying. But we moved place a lot--we didn't have our own home.

[ He says it, more to just continue their thoughts elsewhere than on the man, to help move them along before--or as--they walk. ]
strongroots: (haggical)

[personal profile] strongroots 2023-04-03 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It may be sparse, but Robby still takes it in. His life was never wealthy, but you could buy things for cheap, make it look like you had more than you did, or the apartments came with appliances to make up for what you didn't own.

This was still Chizuru's house, though, marks her own frugal life. Robby takes in the layout, the details, few as they may be. Looks over to Chizuru and the question which furrows his brow, but not in a bad way. ]


Do you know about rent? Wait, [ wait wait; he points a forefinger at her. ] Land rent? Lords rent out land to farmers, right? People do that with houses where I'm from. You pay to have somewhere to live.

[ Truly, the actual painful part about this: possibly having to explain renting in the modern day. What's having your own home in this economy?? ]
strongroots: (mingling with crabs)

[personal profile] strongroots 2023-04-04 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ sorry to introduce you to capitalism, Chizuru... ]

That's America for you. [ ...well. ] Everywhere, in my time. You don't have money? Good luck living.

[ Maybe that's too sad and depressing to be saying in such a way to someone like Chizuru, but there's nothing pretty to that side of life. It's been a constant trouble in his life, even if sometimes it was his mom and her spiralling ways that lost them homes.

Or places to live. Could you call anywhere a home if you moved so often?

(So he liked to tell himself, so he never became disappointed. Told himself he was never attached.)

It's why he looks at her so nonchalant, having been trying to eye past her to see if there was any scenery beyond. Was there limitations to the stone, or to Chizuru's imagination? It could be one or the other. ]


Living here's easier--I never lived anywhere like I did with Tory back home. They were four or five rooms. Two bedrooms, a bathroom, and then a kitchen and living room. Sometimes you had a wall between those two, but not always.

[ He didn't have preference there, really. ]
strongroots: (mup)

[personal profile] strongroots 2023-04-08 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Her sympathy apology does get an awkward--but appreciative--pull of Robby's mouth, at the very least. He might not have reason to linger on it--his moving home so often was as much a problem of his mom as the way the world works--but...it'd been a part of his life, still. One he'd become frustrated over plenty of times.

His lips turn closer into a smile when she leans against him, if brief.

It goes as she continues, the idea she presents. A place from his memories. Robby thinks, but nowhere is jumping out at him immediately. Rather- ]


Uh... do you wanna see somewhere I used to live? I remember the last place I was with my mom.

[ He supposes. It was rather simple, too, a place they needed to move into once his mom got out of rehab. The same standard layout as he's described to Chizuru, even though--it feels different, he thinks. There's no real memories Robby has of the place. Would it be that exciting to share? Compared to Chizuru and the home she shared with her dad. ]

It wasn't exciting. [ Which is why he feels the need to add that. ]
strongroots: (unleash the beast)

[personal profile] strongroots 2023-04-10 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, [ he starts slowly; not because he's unsure about the idea, but because his own head is in the process of figuring out what to do. Robby thinks to say more, but there isn't really, so--think hard and describe, right?

He makes a 'here we go' kind of face before he closes his eyes and thinks back. The last flat...wasn't that spectacular, but the one before that, he and his mom were in longer. The dance-y, art-sy type of space with its print posters. ]


It was, uh... Two bedrooms, a bathroom, and the living room and kitchen were together. You entered near the kitchen? It was on your right when you enter, and the left was for coats, a mirror... uh, I don't remember a lot about them. It was just a normal...mirror?

[ The details feel...less than useful. Because Robby can remember the apartment well enough, but what should he pick out, tell Chizuru about them? He can't tell her how the kitchen had a microwave and a TV on top; because even if she knew what those were, would it help? The one that was in the living space, the two plush chairs and the red couch. ]

This helping at all? [ It might be hypocritical for Robby to lose heart in this idea so quickly, but--look, he's bad at describing things. Especially if he's doing it to a girl from ancient Japan. ]
