I've been believing in something so distant, as if I was human...
Who: Rin, Shing, Kohaku, Vanitas [Open thread here!]
Where: Starting at Shing and Kohaku's apartment
When: Early evening
Style: Prose
Status: CLOSED
WARNING: Character death, blood, violence, all the things that go with having Vanitas involved
Grocery bags on his arms, sword on his back, Rin walked through the city to a familiar apartment complex not that far from his own. After what had happened at the ice cream shop and his visit to them, Kohaku had given Rin a key to their apartment, saying that if he ever needed to go some place that wasn't his own home or Maka's, or if he just wanted to come over and cook without having to be invited, he could go there even when they weren't home. And it really had become like a second home to him. It was familiar, comfortable, and reminded him of when he still lived at the abbey, cooking meals for the priests.
For all the things that had been tripping him up lately, Rin was feeling surprisingly optimistic with his current situation. He had good friends, a great girlfriend, and had managed to hold down a job for longer than a month for the first time in years. Vatheon had it's fair share of annoyances, sure, but it had been a surprisingly good place for Rin. Even if he did miss his brother and other classmates back home.
These were the thoughts that kept him moving, and the thoughts he was going over when he approached the apartment and headed to the floor where Shing, Kohaku and Beryl lived. Something made him stop, though, his hand hovering above the door handle. A strange feeling came over him, like the crawling sensation of being watched.
He wheeled around, but nothing except the empty hallway and the dulled yellowed lights greeted him. One flickered down the way, some three or four doors down, but nothing else moved. There was no noise, no movement, absolutely nothing that should have given him that feeling.
Yet it was still there.
His blue eyes narrowed at the flickering light, but after a few minutes he sighed and shook his head.
"Damnit... get it together..." he mumbled to the air, finally turning the key in the door and heading inside.
It was nothing... right?

{action} Rin never asked for ANY of his friends, but they keep popping up like weeds!
It very well could have been the end...
Could have been, but it wasn't. He was moving again, slowly getting to his knees but wobbling as he did so. His arms lashed out, attempting to catch either of them, be it by the claws on his hands or the arcs of fire he wildly hurled.
He was wearing down, wounds attempting to heal but doing so slowly, yet he kept on trying to fight. Rage was driving him forward, keeping him going blindly even when some part of him inside was screaming for him to stop. The sounds he was making were akin to that of a wounded, frightened animal, yet somewhere beneath all that there was a teenage boy, trapped in his own body by nothing more than a bad luck draw of genes.
{action} Friendship is a disease
{action} One that has no cure, I might add.
{action} Crap. I'm screwed then. B|
The beating he was taking seemed to finally be working. Even as he took the hits from Yuri and kept stumbling forward, there was a halting hesitation to his steps that wasn't just from the attacks striking him.
Some part of Rin was slowly coming back, the tiniest bit of sanity breaking through the fog of his mind. It was that little bit that was finally aware of what he was doing and how out of control he was. But his voice was still demonic, sounding like many voices speaking at once, and there was a pain in his tone that was more than just the physical trauma he was receiving.
"Leave... me... don't... want to... AAAUUUGHHH!"
A horrible, terrible scream ripped from him as he dropped to his knees, clutching at his head. The sword finally fell from his hand and extinguished the last of his flames. His ears, fangs, and claws remained long though. He wasn't out of the woods yet.
{action} It's terminal.
{action} So sorry, you only have a few hours before you succumb to it...
"Okay, okay. You're all right... you're all right. Mind telling us what the hell caused you to become... well, that?" He was ready to leap back if he had to, if needed.
{action} I blame you for this!
A groan sounded from him then, body curling in to a ball as he tried to hide his dirty, bruised face. His ears slowly started to recede, but even when they were small and normal sized there was still a defined point to them. The tail also didn't fade, but the flaming end had been replaced by a black tuft of fur. He was very obviously not fully human.
"He... killed... my friends..." came the much more normal sounding voice from him after a few moments had passed. It was weak, barely loud enough to be heard, but it lacked the strange echo and the frightening inhuman sounds that it had earlier.
Slowly he looked up again, vivid blue eyes showing not only his physical pain, but the emotional pain as well. Where he looked wasn't at Yuri or Jade, but at something further away. Something back where the flames had started and the park was still attempting to burn.
A body. A masked boy likely no older than Rin himself, stabbed several times and very much dead.
"He killed... Shing... and Kohaku... couldn't... couldn't stop 'im..." his voice cracked then, and a sob wracked his shoulders. "'msorry..."
{action} I plead the fifth
"I'll move you to my apartment for now and we'll get you healed. You can explain everything after that."
He turned to look at Yuri, standing. "Floor Three, Room one. Just put him on the couch. I'll see if I can help with the fires. If you have any friends who can heal, contact them."
A key was given to Yuri and without giving them room to object or say otherwise, Jade headed off towards the areas that were in the most trouble. Given that the Ikashun Apartments were right there, there was little guess as to where Jade was telling Yuri to go. Letting a stranger into the place wasn't his best plan, but given the circumstances and Yuri showing himself to be at least capable and allied made it better than a random passerby.
{action} you have no evidence *stole it all*
"Hey. Hey, listen to me... you got nothing to be sorry for." Yuri responded seriously. "It's his fault, not yours. Now stay with me, will you...?" Muttering under his breath, he ran towards the apartments to look for what he supposed was Jade's apartment.
{action} both of you B|
And of course, he didn't cry often, but any sense of control he'd had over his emotions had gone out the window with his rage induced fit. No further sobs sounded from him, but tears did roll freely down his stained cheeks as he hung limply off Yuri's back.
It hurt to breathe, to move, to even flinch. He wasn't about to die, though this was probably the closest he had felt to it since nearly getting crucified all those months ago. Back home, back at True Cross... at a place that was so distant from him he honestly wondered if it had really been a part of his life.
And it wasn't just the physical pain that was keeping him quiet, either. He kept replaying it all in his head. Their faces, the sounds, the scent of blood, the feel of it on his skin, oh god he couldn't stop seeing it--...
"... gonna... be sick..."
{action} Friendship is starting to sound like a vicious STD
It took a good hour and a half to fully extinguish all of the flames and clean up most of the issues. No casualties aside from the two, some injuries from civilians who had gotten too close or had been shoved by the rampaging demon. Jade only had the very light burn on his side and even that wasn't even a bother unless he had gotten too close to the fires. For now, Jade wasn't needed, the rest being handled by capable individuals. When he was done, he headed back to the apartments. Heading upstairs and opening the door, Jade looked a little charred and frayed around the edges, but over all none too bad considering the circumstances.
As an automatic reaction. Jade went into the kitchen, moving around before he reappeared with a washcloth for his face.
"Just don't set my living room on fire, if you will." It wasn't necessarily the good Samaritan in Jade that got Yuri to grab the boy, but more or less the "he just wreaked havoc on the city and attacked civilians" bit. He'd rather keep an eye on him rather than have him go on some kind of crazed cycle again.
{action} It takes no prisoners.
Sighing, he glanced towards Jade, the frown on his face deepening as he headed to the window and peered outside. "You find the two he was talking about?" he asked, jerking a thumb back towards the half-demon.
{action} /sob/ I'm doomed...
He heard Jade come in, and heard the two speaking, but he didn't say anything. If his eyes had been open and arm not on his face, he would have had a disturbingly blank expression.
They were really dead. Shing and Kohaku... and Vanitas, too... he had taken their lives, but Rin in turn had taken Vanitas'. He had actually killed some one, the one thing everyone had feared for so long that he would do. His friends were dead, and they were going to come back eventually, according to what everyone around the city had said, but he had still snapped and turned in to a monster yet again.
How many other people had he hurt in his rampage? What other damage had he done? Who had seen it... and who now was afraid of him?
Too many questions, not enough answers, and all of it sitting ill in his stomach still. So he just lay there, quiet, blank, hearing them speak and being only vaguely aware that he was surrounded by people he didn't even know and laying in a complete stranger's apartment.
{action} How unfortunate
"Yes, they've been moved to the hospital." He offered a light nod, thoughts prevailing for a moment rather than speaking. Just, after a moment of that, he offered a hand to Yuri.
"Jade Curtiss. My apologies for not introducing myself earlier."
{action} Oh, well, too bad... it can't be helped...
Taking the hand and shaking it, he nodded gravely at the Colonel and sighed. "So much for this place being peaceful, I guess... I can safely assume they were the only fatalities?"
{action} Fine fine I'll give in to this... friendship...
He forced himself to sit up, feeling every ache, pain and twinge his body had to offer him. He groaned loudly, holding a hand to his stomach even as he tried and failed to get to his feet.
"... th' case.. did you find the case... ? My sword needs it..."
(ooc: Hold for Estelle arriving!)
{action} Haven't you watched MLP? Friendship is ~*~MAGIC~*~!!
Now she stood before the apartment mentioned by Yuri, and though the way Yuri had sounded indicated this was urgent enough for her to just open the door and go right on in, she was still a polite little thing; and in that, her immediate reaction was to raise her fist to the door and knock a few times.
She didn't know exactly what was going on, but she hoped that she could help, as Yuri thought she could ...
{action} D8
"Fortunately, yes. There were injuries, but nothing life-threatening." At Rin's voice, Jade pulled the item in question from his belt. The knocking on the door pulled Jade's attention and he handed the sheath to Yuri before he went to answer it. Seeing Estelle, he allowed her into the apartment, assuming by her looks she was here to assist.
{action} ... too many sparkles... D:
"Hey, Estelle. Good you're here; this guy needs some healing and fast..." Glancing back towards Rin, he shuffled and moved so that she had enough room to do her thing before he glanced back towards Jade. "What about that other guy? The one that supposedly killed those two? You find him, or did the flames get to him first?"
{action} nooooo the sparkles... can't... handle... /choke
Tiredly, the teen stared up at Estelle and shook his head.
"Don't need it... I'll heal eventually..."
{action} you'll learn to love the sparkles!!
Yes, convince him. He didn't look like he was in good shape at all, even if he insisted he would heal. Eventually.
Everyone healed eventually.
"Wouldn't you want to be healed a little quicker than that, though?" She asked, her tone of voice gentle.
"You must be in a lot of pain right now ... I can't say I will be able to take away all of the pain, but I could heal most of it up fairly quickly."
From the looks of things, this boy had a lot of emotional pain he was dealing with as well. Even without knowing what had happened, she could see that.
{action} Eew
Jade looked to the boy, raising a brow. "You're not going to bleed all over my couch more. Be a good boy and thank Miss Estelle for coming to help you."
Jade's not taking your bullshit child.He turned back to Yuri, adjusting his glasses."For now, it seems the most apparent danger has passed. It's just cleanup."
{action} not sure if want...
"Healing power or not, at least be glad we didn't leave you out there." he responded bluntly. Glancing at Estelle first and then back towards Jade, he frowned as he muttered low enough for Jade to hear. "Good to hear, at least... still, I can't say I like hoe people keep killing each other whenever they want to. It's becoming too popular a thing to ignore."
{action} yeah me either...
Eventually, though, he just sighed and let his shoulders slump down, his gaze shifting to the floor. He was too tired, and too damn heartbroken to argue. He didn't have it in him to start shit with the people that were trying to help him. Too little, too late in his mind, but he knew if Shing or Kohaku were still there they'd smack him upside the head and tell him to be grateful anyway.
Just like older siblings would.
"Fine, whatever..." was all he said, not even trying to meet Estelle's worried gaze again.
{action} you guys are no fun.
It happened fairly easily, covering Rin in light for a few moments before it died down. Estelle opened her eyes and checked on him to make sure he was healed.
{action} Right.
{action} Whatever.
{action} I was supposed to be fun?
{action} of course! :| isn't this a party?
{action} No parties in Jade's apartment D<
{action} we're too srs for parties whatchu talkin' 'bout
{action} so srs B|
{action} y'all are awful liars.
{action} Parties are for loozers
{action} parties can't fucking handle us, don'tcha know
