[He doesn't remember much about his execution.
Oh sure, he remembers the lead-up to it; he remembers how the others looked on as he was led away and sure, he remembers Ishimaru's screams. He doesn't remember the death cage nor does he remember the sudden pain before it was all over.
It made waking up here incredibly confusing.
"Here" must be some sort of afterlife, but Mondo hasn't been able to figure out what it is, exactly. It's obviously not heaven (he's killed two people, he doesn't belong in heaven), but it doesn't seem to be hell either. Things are monotonous, yes, but they're not bad.
That leaves the option of purgatory, which Mondo is more or less fine with. It's better than spending an eternity suffering. It's probably not right for him to stay here instead of moving on to hell, but he doesn't know how or when that will happen. He's content to leave it at that for the time being.
This place is a rather large city - half of it is full of native English speakers, whom Mondo tends to avoid (his English is atrocious, after all), the other half is full of Japanese speakers. The city itself doesn't seem to be anywhere Mondo has ever seen, but it's large and spread out, with plenty to explore and do. Mondo hasn't seen everything there is to see though; he's only been here for a few weeks, and he knew if he wanted to make ends meet, he'd need a job first. Exploring could wait.
It's convenient that there's a carpenter's shop just down the road from the apartment Mondo woke up in. It might not technically be his, but he's been staying there until he can afford to properly rent it out. No one has complained so far, so he figures it's fine for the time being. The carpenter works him to the bone and he's never been so exhausted in his life when he comes home, but it's a good kind of exhaustion that means he's doing something productive. He can't make up for what he's done in the past, but he can help out here.
He's off work for the day, lounging around in what serves as the living room of his apartment, flipping through the newspaper. The dates here are all screwed up - it's almost winter here and he knows he'll have to put some money away toward buying proper winter clothes. That's only a minor concern though, because he has much bigger things to worry about.
In a city this large, it's possible that he's just missed seeing the others. He hasn't been looking very hard, admittedly. He's not sure what to say to them when he does see them. "Sorry" simply won't cut it for Fujisaki. He doesn't really want to see Kuwata, Enoshima, or Maizono either. He's sure it's only a matter of time before one of them finds him, or before someone else shows up here.
All he can do is hope that it won't be Ishimaru.]

[He'll calm down a bit after a moment though!]
I'm working in a carpenter's shop. It's not exactly a high-paying job, but I like the work!
no subject
no subject
Sh-Shut up, it's not that big of a deal...!
no subject
no subject
[Nononono knock it off oh my god!!]
no subject
[DEAL WITH IT.]
no subject
[Well, hopefully the neighbors weren't sleeping...]
no subject
All right, all right, it's not cute - it's fuckin' adorable, is that better?!
no subject
[Oh god he's so red right now what the hell, kyoudai!!]
no subject
Fiiiine - I'll at least let you calm down a bit, okay?
no subject
[And for that, you're getting your hair lightly tugged!!]
no subject
...that smirk he's giving you the entire time implies that he's not nearly serious about it, though.]
Real mature, kyoudai!
no subject
What was that about maturity, kyoudai~?
[And he'll just sit on you, if you don't mind!!]
no subject
[For a moment he just lies there, stunned...before promptly shoving at him again and squirming something fierce, clearly trying to get out from under him.]
This isn't fucking fair, you know!
[His words might be a little undermined by the laughing, um.]
no subject
[He's just going to sit here and be the smuggest bastard ever, just so you know.]
Good luck getting up! You'll need it!
no subject
[Mnnnnngh THIS ISN'T FAIR you are much taller than him and you weigh more and wow fuck you get off
only not really because this is kind of fun
he cannot]
no subject
Yeah, tell me something I don't know, huh?
[Wow, he hasn't had this much fun in ages. At least you're not as tightly-wound as Ishimaru! He can't see Ishimaru taking this very well.]
no subject
[He just laughs again at the hair-ruffling, though he does squirm some more before managing to get a grip on Mondo's wrists to ward him off a bit.]
You are such a jerk, kyoudai, what the hell!
no subject
[Don't mind him gloating, because that's totally what he's going to do!]
no subject
[Oh my god despite his words there will just be
well
more squirming
because what the hell else is he supposed to do until you decide to get off]
no subject
no subject
You are getting the fiercest hug in return, you
...and maybe a lot of laughing among all the fucking cuddling he's doing, okay
god this is fun]
no subject
Well, you didn't win, but you're still pretty fucking awesome, kyoudai. I haven't had this much fun since...
[...Since he last rough-housed with Daiya.]
...Well, it's been a long time!
no subject
[Not cute, though!]
I've never really had a chance to do shit like this, you know? It's fun, though!
no subject
[Hair-ruffles, hair-ruffles forever!!]
And of course you can make me happy! Just having you here's good enough for me, but naturally you go above and beyond expectations!
