third flame 🔥 (late) May Catch-all
🔥 Who: Olruggio & ANY
🔥 When: May~
🔥 Where: Around Yumemigaoka + the Slumbering City
🔥 What: May Catch-all! Also serves to help your character get some background information on the Disturbance? Maybe??
i. May 5; Kokuhaku Tea
[It's Children's Day! ... Unfortunately(?), Olruggio has no children of his own. But his partner is a Mentor for a number of young Dreamers and so Olruggio has promised to send them photos of the much talked about but never actually seen cute desserts that Japan has for this occasion.
It's a very difficult job, as you can plainly see.
Which is why he's gone into Kokuhaku Tea to purchase some of the sweet treats for the occasion and taking a few photos of said snacks before enjoying them himself]
Hmm... Glutinous rice really is a fantastic backdrop for just about anything, isn't it? Delicious!
ii. Throughout the first half of May; Slumbering City
[while Olruggio in the waking world is trying to keep a healthy work life balance, in the Dream Sphere, Torch is always at work. Ai's Disturbance didn't leave any particularly lasting scars in the Dreamscape... And based on Chaosbringer's investigation, it seems that no Disturbance has caused lasting damage. They should be grateful for the little things like this, but Torch worries nonetheless.
Between Area Zero that the Figment - Miraidon, for now - has told him about and the residual damage from last year's Anniversary, the Dream Sphere has left a great deal of danger sitting on their very doorstep]
[If you've been assigned to be in a small group patrol with him;] ... We'll just be doing a quick patrol around the city borders. To make sure there's nothing major happening that we aren't aware of.
[if he runs into you while patrolling;] Did you have a good reason for being in here today?
[if you manage to catch him off guard while he's patrolling;] Gah-?! For crying out- Don't just sneak up on people like that!
iii. Mid-Late May; at the DU
[Olruggio can be found in the Union HQ nearly daily, chasing down people with steadily increasing concern following the earthquake and the thunderstorm at the start of the month]
[prior to the hailstorm, he can be found grumbling irritably to himself and looking like death warmed over in any of the breakrooms, curled over with his pencil in hand and what looks like ever more elaborate doodles covering the pages of his sketchbook] 'This is normal', they say... Like there weren't odd accidents that heralded the last few Disturbances...
[Following the hailstorm, Olruggio can still be found frequently visiting the DU, but this time he seems more pensive. Thoughtful, even, as he examines one of the hailstone crystals in his hand] ... I was told all the previous accidents were somewhat natural in form. This doesn't look like it follows the same trend, does it...?

no subject
[It knows when these things fall in the year, even if it can't properly tell time. The information immediately makes him think of Arven. Is he taking his tests? Is he doing well in school at all?
...it's afraid to ask if he knows about it.]
The last anniversary was when people got stuck in here, wasn't it? I was still in the crater then, but people have mentioned it.
1/2
no subject
So you're aware of that. [he rubs his chin] I wasn't here for it either. But you can see see it's after effects on the City. Based on reports from another Dreamer though, the Disturbances themselves seems to have left nothing behind.
... We're also still dealing with the fallout from what happened to Hoshino last month. I'm not sure when we'll be able to send people down to the crater for you.
[little did they know that the decision would be made for them...]
no subject
.....is she alright?
no subject
I haven't heard any bad news at least. The director's probably being careful about releasing any information to the public, but she's confirmed to be safely back in the Waking World.
[a pause]
The Anniversary's probably going to be a much smaller affair this year, all things considered.
no subject
She...helped me with some Torments, back when I first got out of the crater. I'm sure she's saved a lot of people before, of course.
[But it meant something to the Figment. No one had really ever helped it with anything before that.]
no subject
That's understandable. She is the face of the main headquarters for a reason... And it's an image she works hard to live up to. [he crosses his arms, thoughtful for a moment before sighing] Though some people might say she works too hard for it.
... Whether you were the first person she saved or the thousandth, Hoshino would have done the same thing regardless. All of us older Dreamers would.
[it's why they're still Dreaming after all]
