Ended up outlining a completely different fic as a Segway for an explanation instead of making progress on the Royal Flush Haunted Honk AU's Clown Motel Fic like I wanted to but uh....
For y'all's review for the AU: A Prequel Outline - Divorce Saga Domon
--------------------------------------
Hey real quick - I'm thinking of maybe changing the timeline to 2 years post canon as opposed to 3 years and change post canon.
The reason being: I had a thought that this scene could either be part if the fic or if it's getting to big then it could be a stand alone tie-in prequel fic as part of this AU but - like
Immediately Post Divorce Domon Needs Space and runs off. As one does. And he runs to Earth because he just wants to Get Lost for a while.
He has Argo smuggle him out to avoid detection.
Argo has Andrew help stow Domon in a storage hanger of a Neo Canadian supply ship that's returning to the US - they have trade often enough and share agricultural resources - which leads to Domon ending up in New York when he hits Earthside pavement.
He's privately worked on his English the last couple of months and after being dropped in New York with a different hairstyle, outfit, and accent he's unrecognizable.
He considers making his way west to get some solitude in the wilderness, but something about that initial plan feels off now that he's on the ground.
Chibodee is also Earthside for a special series of prize fights aimed at raising charitable appeal for the US in the eyes of Neo Americans.
Domon decides to hit up Chibodee for a fight on a day between matches hoping it'll clear his head and give him the clarity to decide on a course of action. What ends up happening is an unexpected heart to heart via blows and a breakdown.
Domon is happy for Rain and Kyoji, and he knows it's not true; but he feels like he lost a piece of himself when his relationship with Rain fell apart.
Domon's instinct is to run after that but Chibodee knows this city and Domon doesn't hide out for long before Chibodee drags him back to his place to stay and just "Chill out and breathe. You don't have to be anyone but yourself here. You can take as long as you need to find out what everything changing means for you." Friends and teammates stick together.
So Domon spends a few weeks with Chibodee sparring and hanging out in New York. Chibodee does a frankly awesome job at containing his feelings because he's focusing on Domons feelings and being a good friend first and foremost. Whatever he's feeling can wait until after Domon is done going though it.
There's a bit of a twinge in Domon's heart as he leaves that he can't really place.
After he returns to Neo Japan and gets settled back into life with his family, The Dreams start.
They're mainly set in New York. Small things first like noticing Chibodee's smile and his eyes. Then sparring sessions that begin to turn lurid.
He thought these kinds of dreams would stop after he was married.... he doesn't know what to do about this.
I just figure it gives more clarity and sense of time for the journey from Comphet Marriage Dissolution to Feelings to Confession. Idk.
But I got stuck on a bit and then had this thought and needed to get it down before I lost it and it was so long it made sense to make it its own post as opposed to several replies.
The Maize and Clown Motel will probably still be 3 years and change post canon for clarification.
Lively antique outfit, pairing a colorful tsuru (crane) kimono, with lustrous satin obi bearing decorated yabane (arrow fletching).
Arrows are popular auspicious pattern symbolizing “straight to luck” wishes. Worn around New Year season, this attire could also hint at decorations sold by Shinto shrines and called hamaya (lit. demon breaking arrow).
Hamaya can also be paired be the Lunar year animal. For 2023, you can hence find rabbits holding arrows like this one:

PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS IN JAPAN TAKE THE FIGHT TO GOOGLE'S HEADQUARTERS IN TOKYO
📹 Scenes from Japan, where Pro-Palestine protesters target Google's headquarters in Tokyo over contracts the company holds with the Israeli occupation and military.
Protesters targeted the tech giant over the company's "Nimbus Project", a massive cloud-computing project being designed for the Israeli occupation army and the Israeli government.
Previously, employees of Amazon and Google wrote a letter of protest against the project that was published in The Guardian back in October of 2021.
In the letter, the employees described the project as a deal to "sell dangerous technology to the Israeli military and government," and wrote that the project would "make the systematic discrimination and displacement carried out by the Israeli military and government even crueler and deadlier for Palestinians."
Gonna be honest I do feel like such a poser/that annoying basic bitch when I go on about how much I love NYC but in my defense I did spend multiple Formative Periods in various parts of the city so like...
