Entry tags:
you've been hit by a smooth criminal
Who: Rin Okumura and Death the Kid
When: March 17th
Where: An underground crypt
What: What time is it? RIDICULOUS QUEST TIME!
Style: Action!
Status: Closed
[There were a lot of things Rin Okumura had never expected to happen in his life. Being the half demon spawn of Satan, having his father die, training to be an exorcist, coming to an underwater city, getting a girlfriend while in said underwater city, seeing both his dead father and his dead mother in said underwater city...
These were unexpected, surely, but nothing he couldn't deal with eventually.
But this.
This was something he wasn't entirely sure he could handle.
The board had said nothing about what the quest actually entailed, just that a certain cleric wanted to "give the Head Nurse what was coming to her", so naturally Kid and Rin figured why the hell not and went right on searching for the odd woman who for some reason was very reluctant to come out of a shadow alley way.
It wasn't until they had already agreed that the details of the quest were laid down on them.]
This is stupid...
[It was, more or less, a glorified panty raid.
Yes. The son of Satan and the son of Lord Death were tasked with gathering the unmentionables of the Head Nurse. Who... for some reason, lived in a crypt. Which was where the two teens were currently standing in their assigned garb, staring down at the entrance to the crypt with equal uncomfortable looks of distaste and wariness.
Rin looked at his companion, paled as if his task was something closer to assassination rather than the (mostly) harmless act of taking some one's clothing.]
S-seriously, this is stupid. Let's just... go back and tell her there's no way we're doin' it. We can find another quest, right?
[He didn't sound nearly as confident about that as he wanted to.]

no subject
But only because Vatheon's troubles didn't start with the line 'My legend began in the 12th Century'.]
Isn't it too late for that? We already agreed. To go back on our word now...
[He likes this possibly even less than Rin.
Maybe because there's some fear lurking dark and deep in the grim reaper that these items they've been assigned to retrieve may or may not have been recently laundered.]
Ugh... I'm never letting you talk me into one of these again.
1/2
But Kid's accusing tone at the half demon gets him visibly twitching, fist raised as if he might very well strike the grim reaper with a gauntlet clad hand for that.]
OI! DON'T BLAME ME, IT WAS THAT STUPID WOMAN'S FAULT!
[Fortunately his anger only lasts a moment.]
no subject
Ah who am I kiddin', 'course this is my fault, it was my dumb idea to take it. Great, just fuckin' great. First I'm a no good punk and now I've dropped over lower, stealin' clothes just to get some points...
[Wow, Rin, you're almost having a Kid moment here.]
no subject
And then gives his back a companionable (and sympathetic) pat.]
Don't be unnecessarily hard on yourself. It's not as if you'll be keeping the spoils like a pervert.
[Wow, Kid! So reassuring!!]
Let's get this done and over with.
no subject
Rin makes a face, but rather than berating Kid on his choice of words and method of comforting, he just sighs and nods, turning back to the crypt entrance. A sense of dread still stirred in his stomach, but there was nothing that could be done about it. They were in this until the end.]
Right...
[A deep breath in, and Rin took the first step in to the crypt.]
no subject
And, like Rin, Kid turns to regard the crypt with less open disgust and more stoic dubiousness.]
I just have one question.
[The rest he whispers aside at him, as they descend into the crypt.]
Who hides their underwear in such a filthy and dank place?
no subject
[Rin's voice was equally hushed, but the concern in his voice was palpable. He had tried for nearly a year not to give much thought to those running the show in Vatheon, but this was a little harder to ignore, all things considered.
Once they left what little light had been coming in from the outside, Rin stopped and dug out one of the flares they'd been given, lighting it and holding it up high. A long corridor of damp stone stretched out in front of them, and somewhere near the end of where the flickering light reached there was a fork in the path.]
... gettin' flashbacks of that damned pirate ship.
[There's gotta be traps. It can't be that easy.]
no subject
[... Kid, most normal people don't live in crypts and mausoleums.]
Pirate ship?
[With a gesture that means 'tell him later', or at the very least 'hold on', the reaper tries to cut down the chatter in order to listen for any other signs of motion in the dark. Soul perception would be so handy at a time like this, but no such luck.]
no subject
But aside from the drip-drip-dripping of water coming down from the damp ceiling, there doesn't seem to be anything.]
no subject
drip drip drip
No one. No monsters lingering in the shadows.
drip-drip
But Kid remains stock-still but for the motion of his fingers in the shivering light of the flare.
drip drip-drip drip
He's counting. Finally, he gives a pronounced shudder.]
Isn't there anything we can do about that awful dripping? If it's going to leak, it should have the decency to do so steadily..!
no subject
[Rin had been amazingly forgiving of Kid's... quirk since he arrived, and there had yet to be a moment where it had gone as far as being fully aggravating to the half demon. But right then? He couldn't help it. He was already on edge, and that little quip was enough to push him right over.
Screaming like that, though, was probably the worst thing Rin could have done, because anyone or anything within earshot was going to pick up that some one was trying to get in to the crypt.]
no subject
He's gawking at the sheer volume, which echoes through the chamber with a force that causes a low level rumble among the old stones.
There's a tick-tick-tick-CLINK.
Axes drop down from the ceiling in several points along the way to the distant dim light, and Kid loses his balance, as his foot drops down a trap door that had just opened at his back. Some desperate grabbing at Rin spares them both a trip into the abyss.
Going very still, fingers white where they're clutching at Rin's shirt, Kid aims his golden glare at him.]
...Lovely job setting off every trap in the room, you nitwit!
no subject
The noise was enough to tip Rin off that what he had just done, and he tensed, tail even going rigid underneath his tunic. A quiet utterance of "fuck..." sounded from him, but it was almost immediately drowned out by the sound of the activated traps.
Kid didn't even have to fully scramble at Rin. Pissed off or not, he wasn't about to let his friend go tumbling down in to a pit, and he reached out to snag the reaper and take two steps back to keep them both from going down by way of lacking balance.
He groaned, rolling his eyes and avoiding the golden glare he was getting.]
Yeah, okay, I get it, I'm a goddamn moron. Sorry.
... you alright?
no subject
Here they are, clutching at each other like the last bit of floating flotsam in a sea squall, with faces near enough to send even the most jaded fangirl off to whisper I ship it into the wind.
And Kid can only think about how Rin really could have stood to comb his hair before they left on this mission.]
I'm fine. Fortunately, we can now see where we should avoid stepping. Good work, Rin, now we can proceed.
[He lets go, straightening out his own coat, to the massive disappointment of imaginary fangirls everywhere.]
no subject
But Rin can't read minds so he has no idea what Kid is thinking in regards to his hair. Probably for the best. They can deal with that (and apologies for the yelling) later.]
... oh.
[He did good something good? Okay. That... works for him, really. There's a faint smile that flickers there for a second on his lips, but he banishes it so they can get back to work.]
Onward, I guess...
no subject
Panty raid.
...As if that wasn't fanservice enough.]
Carefully. There's no telling what other traps might still be active here.
[You guys should have brought a rogue. Or at least a cleric!!]
no subject
Rin huffs and starts forward, determined in spite of what just happened. He really does want to just get this over with.]
Just let me be the damn meat shield, okay? 'cause I ain't doin' this if you go down in the first five minutes.
