Closed | sharp objects

WHO: Iwai and Fai, Noah, Sakura, Xiaolang
WHERE: CLAMP house
WHEN: Early Sunday morning, 1/21
WHAT: Fai gets yet another nasty Retrospec surprise and Iwai gets to deal with it. Thank goodness for patient boyfriends ;~;
WARNINGS: Blood, violence, vampirism, fear reactions. Probably not going to be pretty for a bit.



[It's still early in the morning, early enough that... well, the sky outside would have been dark anyway, honestly. But they've been trying to keep a pretty decent routine despite the perpetual darkness, and Fai's brain is telling him it's way too early to be up yet. It's even too early to be up early and making breakfast for the various members of the household, or for Iwai to have made his way out to the kitchen to make coffee. So Fai sighs, closes his one good eye again, and rolls over to curl up against Iwai and try to fall back asleep.

Except... darn it, maybe he should just zombie-shuffle over to the bathroom real quick first.

So that's what he does. He's gotten enough practice at this in the new house by now that he no longer bangs his shins against anything in the dark. Mission successful. Door pushed most of the way closed to keep the light off of Iwai so as not to wake him. Bathroom business accomplished. Hands washed. Fai pauses here at the sink, yawns mightily, and stares blearily at his own image in the mirror. Blond hair skewing every which way. One very droopy eye. One dark black swath where the other used to be. It's not pretty, but at oh-dark-thirty he doesn't have to be particularly pretty.

Bed. Boyfriend. Warmth. They call.

He prepares to turn back around, to snap the light back off and muddle his way back to the bed to burrow under the covers again, when something catches his eye in the mirror.

More specifically, his eye catches his eye. A flash of gold. For a minute there he could have sworn--

That's when the pain hits. Mind-numbing, nerve-searing, bone-twisting pain, everywhere. With a strangled yelp Fai loses his grip on the edge of the sink and falls to the bathroom floor, unable even to catch himself on his hands and knees. It's all he can do not to scream but the sounds coming from the bathroom are definitely unhappy.]

He ran off? It's the middle of the night.

[Whatever must've happened. It must've been bad. And Noah, being the impulsive one when Sakura suggests one of them stay]

I'll go. [No way he wanted to be left behind] Fai would freak if you two were out wandering around at night.

[Okay he might fret if Noah did too, but eh, he was older than Sakura. It'd be fine]

Alright. We'll call if we find him.

[Iwai nods for Noah to follow him, heading to the garage where his car is.]

I -- I'll come too! I just need to get my coat.

[And some boots. And her cards. She isn't going out without those. While she's probably aware Fai might not approve of her being out at some ridiculous hour, she does want to help too. So of course this means she figures her brother to stay home. Even though he likely would try argue that for him heading out.]

[He was starting to follow Iwai, but stops when Sakura speaks up-he shakes his head]

I don't think that's a good idea ... Someone who knows the app needs to stay behind in case he comes back. [Noah liked Sakura's brother fine, but there was a chance he'll forget something is wrong in the next five minutes, if it's app related.

He yanks his own coat off the coat rack and puts it on.]


Could you look after Timcanpy for me? He's in my room.
geckoman: (Ready to deal)

[personal profile] geckoman 2018-01-27 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
Do what you feel you need to Sakura.

[With that said he's out the door and getting the car started. He'll trust Sakura in whatever she decides and that's what he's settling for.]
keystaff: (The world is)

[personal profile] keystaff 2018-01-27 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I can take care of Tim for you! He can come with me! I'll see if Xiaolang-kun or any of my other friends might be up to help look too!

[She wasn't really thinking on if this had something to do with the app that it might be better for her rather than her brother to stay behind. Her brother could at least be told to let them know if Fai showed up again on his own. She had to trust in that because she doesn't feel she could just sit and wait, not be out there trying to help, herself.]

[WELP...If Iwai says that it's fine, well then it officially becomes Not Noah's Problem if Fai gets upset. So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I mean, Noah's still a little worried too, but at least Tim will be with her. Tim is good at look out for people]


A-Alright...but don't be out too long, okay? Tim knows the way back if you get lost. [As Noah does basically every time he goes somewhere slightly new]

Good luck. We'll call soon as we find anything.
