01 - halfway between the gutter and the stars

Who: Shing and you!
Where: The plaza
When: Early morning of the second curse day.
Style: ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. COME AT ME BROS--
Status: Open, ohshit.

[So much for luck this time... Shing had managed to avoid most, if not all, of the curses that came his way these last few weeks; however this time, he wasn't nearly so lucky.

He was supposed to be human, last he checked, not... having his body altered into something like this. In his shock he'd stumbled out of the apartment, gasping as he fled on foot to a small street nearby.]

W-what...?! What... happened to me?!

[Seriously, who wakes up to find himself as a half... lizard... thing? He placed a scaly hand on his forehead; Shing could also feel... horns? That was what they were called, right?

He threw a fist into a nearby tree in frustration; that was when he had another unwelcome shock. Not only did his fist tear right through it, but when he connected with the ground the earth shook underneath him; he had enough sense to pull back after, but by then there was a somewhat ominous crack in the ground where he'd accidentally punched it.

In any case, he couldn't exactly stay here lest he end up accidentally hurting his friends. Or worse.

Hence why you now have a half-demon Shing in the plaza trying not to call attention to himself. Which isn't exactly working considering that he's wrecked a couple buildings by accident...

Someone help him figure out what do before he hurts himself, please?]

( OOC: And thus for this event Shing ended up getting the powers of one Amaimon from Ao no Exorcist! It's just his powers, though, not his appearance; so yeah Shing still looks like himself, just to be clear here. For the most part. Do be careful, though; he's stuck in that half-demon transformation point where he's part lizard, apparently... either way have fun? )

[It was supposed to be like any other quiet day in Vatheon on for Rin. Wandering around the plaza, lunch, maybe training with Zelda if she was up for it...

It should have been like that.

And it would have been, if Rin hadn't seen something out of the corner of his eye that made his heart sink.]

AMAIMON?!

[No no no WHY was his half brother here?!]

[Ohcrap someone spotted him. Shing panics, turning to look for Rin... and having trouble balancing since he's not used to this AT ALL.]

W-what? Who--?

[...yeah Rin? FYI he's not Amaimon. Nor does he look like him, either.]

[You're lucky you still look like... well... you, Shing. Rin was about ready to yank out his sword and start attacking.

Instead he's just holding it, case and all, in his hand still, staring in utter confusion.]

But... you look... What?!

I don't know! I just woke up like this--!

[Confusion meet confusion. Shing's trying to figure out whether he should block or do... something, it's hard not having his Soma on him, okay?!]

Woke up-- ... How can you just suddenly wake up a demon?!

[Sense! Vatheon makes none!]

I think it's the curse going around. It's been... doing weird things to people.

[Like turning them into half-demons. Or doing equally unexpected things.]

Curse... ? Another one?!

[Figures. Scared the crap out of him, seeing that.

He stares at Shing, scratching at his cheek thoughtfully.]

Uh. So. You kinda look like a demon from my world and uh... we-- they really only look like that when they're pissed off. You don't look pissed but calmin' down might help...

Yeah. And I was doing so well in dodging the previous ones, too...

[Siiiiiigh. Why him. Whyyyyyy. In any case he just stares at Rin for a few moments.]

Will I go back to normal if I do? Please tell me I will. Otherwise I'm just gonna scream.

[And possibly wreck more shit in his flailing.]

Er... normal? Kinda.

[he points at his ears, then his tail] You might be stuck with these, or somethin' like it. But that's gotta be better than... [Rin motions to, well, all of Shing.]

... I can live with that. As long as I don't, well, look like this anymore...

[OKAY GONNA TRY CALMING DOWN NOW pleasedon'tletthisbepermanentpleasedon'tletthisbepermanentpleasedon'tletthisbepermanentpleasedon'tletthisbepermanentpleasedon'tletthisbepermanentpleasedon'tletthisbepermanent

... yeah, we could be here a while.]

...

[yup. We're gonna be here for a while.

Rin sighs and takes a seat, draping the sword over his knees.

Congrats, Shing. You are now the personal responsibility of one Rin Okumura.]

... sorry. I'm trying, okay?

[He's just sighing at just attempting to calm himself down a little more. Don't worry! He'll get it. Eventually.

Or something.]

Yeah I know. It ain't easy, is it?

[try living every day like that, Shing. It sucks more than you know.]

Try to... I'unno, think of something that normally calms you down?

Not really... I'm just glad this only lasts for a week.

[Siiiiiigh. Okay, let's try calming down here... think pleasant thoughts.

... well, it doesn't take long for him to think of Kohaku, really. Eventually he's able to calm down enough that he reverts back to normal, somewhat.]

[Good. That's... better at least. The tail and ears are probably going to take some getting used to, but he looks more like himself than demon Amaimon now.]

That's still a week some one's gotta watch out for you. I'unno how many people around here are capable of taking down a demon, if you get all upset again.

[Thank goodness, though yeah this is definitely gonna take some getting used to. Why him, really...]

True... I could probably ask Kohaku for help on this. If my situations gets that bad -- which I hope it doesn't! -- there's nothing a strong kick to the head can't stop...

Hate to tell you, but a kick ain't gonna stop a ragin' demon. I barely stopped one with--

[wait. Did he say Kohaku?]

You know Kohaku?

... yeah, I do! She's my girlfriend, ane one of my friends who's also here from my world.

[Shing blinks, glancing over at Rin curiously and tilting his head.]

You've already met her, I'm guessing?

Girlfriend?

[And somebody from his world? Geez. Lucky.]

Yeah. ... she really likes Miso.

[That's.. all he's gonna say right now because he's kind of moping internally about that.]

Well, whatever. I'unno how it happened but you got Amaimon's powers, and I'm the only person here from my world who'd know how to take care of that. So even if she can kick really hard, I'm still stuck keepin' an eye on you until it's over.

... yeah, that's her, all right.

[Suddenly reminded of that one miso tea incident... Shing pauses, deciding not to speak further about Kohaku since Rin seems like he knows her well enough anyway.

In any case, he sighs, glancing down at his hands before looking back up at Rin appreciatively.]

... thanks. I can use all the help I can get here about this.

[Well... he's handling it alright, all things considered. Better than Rin himself did, anyway, when he found out.

And Rin's was far more... permanent than Shing's will ever be.]

... yeah well... just try to keep calm, 'kay?

[he pauses, then holds his hand out awkwardly]

Name's Rin Okumura.

I'll try to.

[It's okay, Rin; Shing's not gonna judge if and when Rin's heritage comes out! He takes the hand, giving it a good shake.]

Shing Meteoryte. Nice t' meet you, Rin!

[Rin shook his hand back, though it was pretty clear he didn't greet people like that often.]

Uh... you should probably tell Kohaku what's goin' on...

Edited 2012-06-07 03:20 (UTC)

Yeah... I probably should...

[Shing pauses as he looks at himself again, grinning a little.]

Now that I know what's going on, though... this is kinda cool.

... oi oi oi! Don't get carried away! Bein' a demon ain't all fun and games yehknow!
