[The outside of the clearing is impossible to get any closer to - so there isn't anything to do but approach the center.

There's Fawkes, terrified of something that Shuji can't see. There are voices, one of which he dislikes instantly. There's a situation that Shuji doesn't understand, and even knowing that it's probably dangerous-

He still walks toward the center platform, because he can't just turn around and leave Fawkes like this. Even if he could physically leave this clearing, his conscience wouldn't let him.]
thesettingsun: smile (I found myself)

[Shuji stops in his tracks, because there's no faking that level of alarm, but-]

Then what should I do?

[Will standing around improve things? He guesses not.]
thesettingsun: smile (god what happened to my heart)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2017-10-08 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
I can't.

[And that limits his options severely, but-]

Hey, asshole with the creepy voice, why don't you show yourself?
thesettingsun: smile ('cause I am on fire)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2017-10-08 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
You should find somebody who 'wants to feel it' without you trapping them. That's pathetic. You're pathetic.

[Shuji can't do anything from here except shout insults at this monster, but if he can goad the crow into getting close - if he gets close, then he might be able to hurt him.]
thesettingsun: smile (and you will uh)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2017-10-08 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[The best solution would be for the monster to come to Shuji - but given that keeping both of them still seems like a major part of his strategy, he won't do that without more provocation, and Shuji doesn't know this guy well enough to target his weaknesses.

The book Shuji has taken to carrying around with him in a bag is there when he reaches for it. And then it's a scythe half his height. The transformation isn't flashy - harmless book one moment, weapon the next.

Come and fight, he says?]


I'll meet you in the middle.

[Because even if something horrible happens there, at least Fawkes will probably be outside of the danger zone.]

originallutece: you might just cut yourself on it (anger; an "excuse me" so sharp)

[What else indeed? Rosalind moves slowly, step by step, her eyes trained on Fa--

No. On Kurama, because that's who he is now, isn't it? He's Kurama, and this is . . .

It was a competition, he'd said. To the death, he'd told her. There's flashes of color and movement all around them, and he's on a raised platform, and it would be easy to think this nothing more than a sports competition if it wasn't for the horror in Kurama's eyes.

How can she do anything but come closer? That's hers, that boy right there, and that silky hint of sadism only sets off her own possessiveness more. That's hers, her Fawkes, her Kurama, and she'll do whatever she has to in order to keep him safe.]

Stay still.

[She hasn't the faintest idea how this works, but she can draw her own conclusions. Don't move, someone had screamed at him, so surely he's surrounded by the bombs. Surely they're in close range to him.

Which means they ought not to be near her. Rosalind stares up at the platform, then hoists herself up, mounting it with far more ease than she would in reality.]


And tell me what happens now. Tell me how to change this.
originallutece: but not for long i promise you (talk; PUZZLED)

[personal profile] originallutece 2017-10-14 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Then let him keep toying with you.

[It's not that she wants to see that, but it's better than him dying. Rosalind keeps approaching, step by careful step, eyes darting around to see if she can see anything: some strange glint in the air, some bizarre blur in reality, something to hint at where all these bombs are.]

Think. Youko had a better chance of beating him, you said. Can you summon him now?
originallutece: sending you back where you came from, STOP JUGGLING (neutral; considering)

[personal profile] originallutece 2017-10-14 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a dream.

[She stops a few feet from the nearest reality twist. That reminds her of something, but at the moment she can't quite place what.]

You can change things you couldn't in reality. So change things. Call him back.

[A pause, and her voice is softer, more coaxing.]

You did it when we were attacked by those monsters, didn't you? You were frightened for me . . . you were determined to protect me.

Now you have to be determined to protect yourself. Kurama . . . bring him back.

[of course chuuya approaches, because what the fuck is caution or hesitation in the face of something like this? there's that voice, but no figure for it to be coming from, nothing visible for him to go after, and so he steps closer instead, raising his own voice.]

Where the fuck is he, huh?
doublesmall: (but you're the same)

[personal profile] doublesmall 2017-10-14 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? I do a lot of things I shouldn't do. Hasn't stopped me yet.

[chuuya hums under his breath, there, glancing between fawkes (just making sure he's still okay) and the surrounding area, staying alert for any sign of movement.]

If you're so worried about your things, maybe you'd better do more to make sure nobody else ends up breaking them. Leaving them out like that's dangerous, you know...?

[he wouldn't, he hopes fawkes knows that much, but he can't kick someone's ass if they don't show up to begin with. if that doesn't lure him out, well. back to square one, he supposes.]
doublesmall: (and no labels to put on)

i never get to use these icons i'm so glad

[personal profile] doublesmall 2017-10-16 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that so? Well, I could come over there, but...

[to better make his point, chuuya takes a casual step towards him, raising a foot and bringing it down-- the resulting quake of the ground around him doesn't quite reach far enough to risk fawkes losing his footing, but chuuya makes sure it comes dangerously close.]

Things break pretty easily in a fight. Not my problem if you end up with some collateral damage.

[come at him, bro.]
doublesmall: (hide & seek)

[personal profile] doublesmall 2017-11-01 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[the explosion immediately pushes chuuya into motion, sending him moving right into the air-- and staying there for a moment, floating over the ground with a faint red glow around him. so he can use the bombs long-distance; that complicates things, but it also make them interesting, and chuuya's grin only sharpens.]

You can try it if you want.

[some of the debris that first quake loosened-- clumps of dirt, rocks, and all-- rise to float near chuuya like some sort of minefield of his own. if these things explode on contact, chuuya's not going to make himself easy to touch. if they don't? -well, this is the only way he's going to figure that one out.

he spares another quick glance to fawkes (still on his feet, still okay for the moment) before turning his attention back to his target.]


But if you're just going to fight me with toys like that, I'll break you both before you ever break me. Come get me, asshole.
