CLOSED // How you're planning to go about making your amends to the dead

[sawthelockdown]

[It's been a few days since the little... incident with Atsuro. It was strange, embarrassing, and she still doesn't get why it happened. The wounds still ache, but at least they're closed now.

Closing.

...They're unstable at times, and too much exertion tears them back open every so often. They're not infected, though, and she's careful not to rip them open even if the blood calls it calls it calls

- It's like her mind isn't quite her own anymore, sometimes.

She's found her way to where, oddly enough, the electronics store used to be. Is. Most of the stuff looks untouched. Maybe the demons weren't interested?

At least it'll be a good shelter. Hopefully someone not-hostile will show up...safety in numbers, and all that...]

[Naoya has settled in the electronics store with some food and water and a scrap of fabric for a blanket. He's fully human, after all, and his strong negative emotions means he's been heavily affected by the magatsuhi drain. He's currently curled up, eyes closed and breathing ragged from exhaustion.]

[Looks like she's not the first one here. Curiously, she looks over, head tilted slightly, and--- it's a Naoya. He doesn't seem to be faring too well.

of course he wouldn't blood calls blood calls BLOOD CALLS FROM THE--

... Here. Have a Media, Naoya.]

[His eyes flutter open, and he looks up at Asako. It didn't really help all that much, it seems...]

Asa... ko?

[sawthelockdown.livejournal.com]

[She kneels down and casts Media again. There's a brief look of pain in her eyes as she kneels, though. The wounds seem to be acting up again.]

Hey. It looks like you survived, too.

[pastsight.livejournal.com]

[He reaches out to put his hand over hers.]

Stop that. It's not going to help me. But of course I survived. You expected anything less of me?

[He smiles bitterly.]

[sawthelockdown.livejournal.com]

Mmm...It looks like humans don't survive that easily out here. And what do you mean, it's not going to help... [Thinks.] ... Food's not easy to find here, is it. That's what's...ah, going on?

[The pauses are brief, but probably noticeable. the wounds the wounds do you remember them WHY DID YOU--]

[pastsight.livejournal.com]

It's something other than wounds. It's something draining me. You should be fine - demons seem to get along well here, and you do have demonic power. Me, on the other hand...

[He chuckles.]

[sawthelockdown.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's something about this world...and I'm not doing too well either, you know? Think I got on the wrong side of a Nekomata.

[She chuckles weakly as well.]

[pastsight.livejournal.com]

Mm.

[He sits up, and reaches out towards her, casting Mediaharan, before flopping backwards. Ugh... that took more out of him than it should have.]

[sawthelockdown.livejournal.com]

Wha-- [Oh jeez. Here, have an awkward sort of hug.] Why did you do that? ...It's not going to fix anything. They're still there.

[...sigh.]

...it wasn't a Nekomata, okay? Don't...don't do that, again...

[pastsight.livejournal.com]

[He leans against Asa's chest, eyes closed.]

I'm so tired...

[In so many ways...]

[sawthelockdown.livejournal.com]

[It kind of hurts to hear that, but - hugs time, yes.]

...yeah. I'm tired, too.

[pastsight.livejournal.com]

[He takes a deep breath, opening his eyes again and looking up at her, not saying anything yet.]

[sawthelockdown.livejournal.com]

[Looks back down at him, head tilted slightly. ... Well, as long as they're stuck here...]

Hey, Nao-nii, s'it okay if I go see if the tech is working? Or did you do that already?

[pastsight.livejournal.com]

Go ahead and look if you'd like. There's nothing terribly exciting.

[He lets go of her, reaching out to take a drink of water from the bowl.]

1/?

[sawthelockdown.livejournal.com]

Well, it's something to do, at least.

[Derp de derp, investigating while running a hand along things to clear off dust and the like.] Okay! Computers don't seem to be working...wires are wires...the TVs are---

2?

[sawthelockdown.livejournal.com]

[...Why is her hand in the TV?]

3/3

[sawthelockdown.livejournal.com]

... TVS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO WORK THIS WAY!

[It ate her hand it ate her hand alxkdjfgldfgjdfg it ate her hand]

[pastsight.livejournal.com]

[Naoya scrambles to his feet, rushing over to her. He looks at her hand in the TV, and grabs her arm, pulling her hand back.]

[sawthelockdown.livejournal.com]

[Congrats, Naoya! You pulled your derpy sibling-cousin-person out of the hand-nomming TV!

... Unfortunately, you used too much force. Looks like between the Lockdown, the Conception, and the scars, she's lost a little weight... is that another TV behind you?]

[pastsight.livejournal.com]

[Naoya curses under his breath as he goes off balance, tipping into the TV back first. At least it's a large TV.]

[sawthelockdown.livejournal.com]

[That's not a good thing! That's not a good thing at all!

Asa attempts to scream for help, hoping that someone's close enough to hear, but...um...no. no help came no screaming will help you are dead you are dead blood from the ground blood on the ground why why why--

--- what comes out instead of a cry for help is a choked sob as she also falls into the TV. Whoops.]
