[OPEN] So Far, I’m Broken, That’s A Given
Who: Roxas and YOU!
When: All throughout Mareuer/March
Where: Aefenglom
What: Roxas doing his best to cope after being kidnapped. Also gardening and orphanage prompts.
Warnings: Mentions of last month's plot, lingering anxiety-related things
Recovery - A
[Coming home from such a harrowing experience leaves a lot of work to be done in terms of recovery. Aside from the Cwyld infection Roxas was fortunate enough to not have many physical injuries during his time captured by the Emerald Circle, outside of a few cuts, scrapes, and notches in his ears; all things that won't take too long to heal. But while his physical scars are easy to fix, the emotional ones still run deep within the young Nobody.]
[Roxas doesn't venture very far during his first week or two after his rescue; he mostly stays in his own home, or venture's to one of his friend's or Bondmate's houses while accompanied by someone. He's much more quiet than normal, and still has a hard time sleeping at night. He still jumps at the shadows and scratches at his skin, expecting to see dark patches of mold.]
[But he wants to get better. He really does. So he tries to push himself forward, allow himself to talk to friends and go do errands. Maybe he goes for a walk by himself once around the block. It's slow, but he's trying. He can't get stronger if he's hiding inside all day.]
Recovery - B
[Recovery is a journey of ups and downs, and unfortunately Roxas undergoes some of those downs on occasion. Those first couple of weeks would be the hardest for the young turnskin; while out trying to run an errand, be it something as simple as picking up groceries or walking to a friend's house, something will trigger his newfound anxiety. Maybe it's a loud noise, or someone yelling at someone else, or a sudden feeling of being cornered. Whatever it is that sets him off, it makes his anxiety flair and his instincts go haywire.]
[Sometimes things become too much, and he bolts from wherever he is, just looking to get away. He'll try to find someplace away from large crowds to hide, whether that place be a quiet alley, an isolated area of a park, or even in someone's backyard. If it's close to the full moon, he might even shift to his full canine form in the process, making him look like a large, frightened stray dog.]
[He's not in danger of going feral, but he could use a little calming down regardless.]
Gerard's Gardening
[Since arriving in Aefenglom, Roxas has enjoyed the occasional gardening. This month the simple quest comes as a boon to his frayed heart, as the quest itself is something simple, non-violent, and calming that he can focus on without his mind wandering too much. He comes a couple times a week to help plant seeds and tend to the plants. To those who might not know, his quiet work ethic would just make him seem like a regular green-thumbed turnskin.]
[However good the gardening is for his recovery, he does occasionally jump if someone or something surprises him, and he might growl at those who catch him off-guard or get too close to him. But he's quick to cut himself off and pull back sheepishly.]
Ah, sorry... I didn't see you there.
Orphanage
[Near the end of the month, Roxas will return to work at the Orphanage once again. The staff has been more than accommodating to give Roxas plenty of time off to recover, but Roxas wants to be able to get back to work. As hesitant as he is to leave the house, just sitting around all day is something he's just not used to doing.]
[The kids are more than happy to see the turnskin return, and Roxas does his best to act normal around them. But observant workers at the orphanage will notice that Roxas is still a little distant, a little hesitant and nervous, and, when the kids are playing outside, hypervigilant of anyone who might be walking by the orphanage. More often than not he will stop whatever activity he's doing and scan the area, canine ears upright as if waiting for some sort of danger to appear.]
[This is all fine and dandy, but it also leaves him a little distracted. He might need some help focusing.]
