[ ooc; please beware Kaneki comes with several content warnings, but specifically cannibalism. ]
WELCOME (cw; blood) [ kaneki was one of those who waited and waited and waited for the train to leave or for another to arrive. He probably waited a bit too long, but he didn't want to be here - wherever here is - and he just wants to go back home. The last thing he remembers, he had been kidnapped, and while that wasn't a good situation either, it felt easier than whatever is happening right now. The whole place feels creepy and eerie, and Kaneki is not comfortable (not many would be anyway).
Eventually, he leaves the train station to find someone and maybe explore. He does want to figure it out, and in the end, the isn't the type to stay still for too long. Once he is out of the train station, he looks around the city and quickly realizes this is not Tokyo at all. Too silent. Too quiet. Too empty.
He tries the kiosk but is very disappointed with the lack of specific answers - where is this place? How can I go home? How can I leave? - which does not surprise him because if they wanted him to leave this soon, naturally they wouldn't even have bothered. As he exits the kiosk, finally kaneki remembers: his clothes are covered in blood.
The white shirt he is wearing has blood near the stomach and by the looks of it, a lot. It is indeed Kaneki's blood, but it will be hard to explain since he is very much alive and not dying from a stomach wound. He looks around a bit nervously, before he pats his shirt. Right right right - ]
... a store. [ there must be one around, he assumes. Or at least someplace with clothing. It will be really awkward if this is all he will have while staying in this city ]
COFFEE TIME : supermarket [ Exploring the city seems like a good idea, but in truth, Kaneki isn't even sure where to start. The maps he has seen seem to be somewhat accurate, but can he trust anything in this place when he knows nothing of it? He doesn't really think so.
It's perhaps silly, but the first place he goes to is the supermarket. He looks around for a while and eventually finds coffee, which does not surprise him since this place seems perfectly stocked. He takes one can... then two, then three, and then many. Kaneki had no intention of stealing since he has no idea what the consequences for that are, but it seems like that plan went out of the window and he has decided that the best way to re-focus is by having as much coffee as possible.
Anyone passing by may notice how weird this guy is, but also how nervous he is because now he has another thing to worry about: ] How... how are we meant to pay for things?
FOOD TIME: restaurant (cw; cannibalism) [ He is not particularly hungry, thankfully. But after realizing just how devoid of the general population this place seems to be, something does start to worry Kaneki: what about food? He doesn't expect to stay here longer (expectations don't always meet reality. though) but he knows he must be more proactive regarding that particular topic.
A ghoul can not go hungry.
A hungry ghoul is dangerous, even if it's only just Kaneki. He doesn't want to go through what he went through before and do the horrible things he did before. Even if he didn't want to do them, he still did them. So he needs to get himself together and try to find a way to fix things.
He could go to the cemetery... but something seems to call for him. A familiar smell. It's not coffee, it's... it's what it is. And it calls for him. Kaneki's mind is racing but soon he is racing too, running after that smell that takes over his whole body: it leads him to a restaurant, specifically the kitchen.
Despite the building being seemingly empty, Kaneki does call out a small "Hello" before he wanders inside the kitchen only to find... meat. It looks like normal meat. It is not. But there it is, right in front of him, as if that's what is expected. Kaneki swallows dryly before he suddenly grabs it and throws the meat against a wall, clearly frustrated ]
What is going on!? [ the whole thing is starting to get to him ]
