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...?

[he says this very scathingly, but there's a point that he's trying to make that Hanako is missing by a mile every time. Besides, mentorship is a tough job. Making a middle schooler take on the role without someone supervising seems poorly thought out. At the very least, Hanako has so far failed to prove that he's earned his 'Experienced' status to Torch.
Speaking of, the older Dreamer let's that sit for a moment before moving along]
Not much. Everything I know is based off reports made in relation to the Disturbances and what happened during last year's Anniversary. Sifting through every single report outside of those is too much for one person to go through.

He pauses in his hovering, looking for just a moment as if Olruggio doused him in freezing water. Something flickers across his face then, something both hurt and sick and more than a touch guilty, his round eyes shimmering with an emotion he couldn't quite put a word to. It was one thing to hear it in his head, but to have somebody actually say it to him...
Whatever micro-expressions that were playing across his face were squashed down with a tight smile, and he forces out a laugh, low and breathy.]
... boy. You sure have all the tact of a brick, huh? You don't talk to everyone who's triggered a Disturbance this way, do you? HR would have a fit.
[Granted, some of the other Disturbees probably were more willing to talk about their experiences, but... those people were probably more well-adjusted than Hanako was!! He lapses into silence as he lets it all stew, before floating on ahead of Olruggio, hands folded behind his back once again. There were theories he had wanted to share with him, but now...]
Well, that's just too bad for you then, I guess. Maybe they ought to reconsider who we call "experienced" Dreamers if they're not willing to put in the research for this sorta stuff.
[HANAKO??? ARE YOU SERIOUSLY BEING THIS PETTY RIGHT NOW???? Never mind his own tendency for research and reports weren't all that good either, so he really had no leg to stand on with that sort of retort--]
no subject
Don't be Qifrey]Only the ones being evasive about topics that have public reports written about them. [basically, don't treat him like he's an idiot and he won't call you out on being an evasive little shit] Did you really learn nothing?
[if Hanako wanted to make Torch feel bad, he messed up again]
Unfortunately for you, that's a sentiment I agree with. Even if you blindly agreed to take on the role, it should have fallen to the adults around you to recognize whether you were actually ready for that title. [huff] You're still in school. The responsibility that comes with teaching someone else shouldn't be put on the shoulders of someone who are, themselves, still learning. It's an unnecessary risk for everyone involved.
[he was a prodigy and he still avoids taking a mentorship role when he can. Olruggio knows his own strengths and weakness... And he knows how overwhelming it can be when you fail to live up to
your ownpeople's lofty expectations.In this instance though... Torch looks around during the lull in conversation, completely unphased by Hanako's sulking]
But what's this about the Vale? I take it that it's one of the stabilized areas if it's been named.
