[OPEN] clever titles are for squares

ɪ. ʟᴀᴛᴇ ᴀᴛ ɴɪɢʜᴛ

[ it's a little after one in the morning when rei is back on the streets. coming from the direction of the hospital, her shoulders are hung low, her head is cast downwards, and her steps are slow. it's as if she's just simply dragging herself along. perhaps it wouldn't be anything to be concerned about. after all, maybe it was just a long night in the dungeon. ]

[ ... maybe that would have been the case if she wasn't covered in dried blood. ]

[ her shirt and skirt are ruined with a dark crimson colour and there's a very unfortunate small blood splatter across her face (cover your mouth when you cough, terry...). whether or not the blood bothers her, it's not like she can do much about it right now. she just continues to walk down the street, almost as if in some sort of trance. she doesn't pay attention to where she's heading and it's honestly more than likely that any of the following would happen: ]

[ a: she walks straight into a pole. ]
[ b: she walks straight into a person (you). ]
[ c: she walks right into the forest because she's not paying attention and i guess i'll have a bear eat her or something. ]


ɪɪ. ᴇᴀʀʟʏ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏʀɴɪɴɢ

[ the next morning, rei isn't doing much better. she has thrown out her clothes so she's back to wearing her original school uniform, but she has thrown on a black and tattered cape over herself, though. hm. well, whatever she's happy with. ]

[ she's still in a trance, though, so the following will happen again: ]

[ a: she walks into a person (you) (again).
[ b: she walks right into a food stand and well, i guess there goes 'em apples and oranges all over the floor. she's already getting yelled at so help. ]
[ c: courtesy of card, all 'em apples and oranges actually go into rei's face later on in the day. a kind npc has given her an orange but she's so tired and not really paying attention that she just bites down onto it like an apple and i guess she's eating the skin of the orange and getting orange juice everywhere. thanks, card. ]
[ d: she actually trips and falls flat on her face because the owner of the cape was actually 30cm taller than her so, of course, it's much longer on her. she falls quite heavily onto the floor and well, everything sucks. this sucks. life sucks!! ]


ɪɪɪ. ᴛɪʟʟ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇɴᴅ ᴏꜰ ᴊᴜʟʏ

[ over the course of the next week or so, rei hovers near the entrance of the dungeon but she doesn't actually go in. she looks extremely uneasy and just hovers around. when she spots someone trying to go through the front entrance, she walks on over and grabs them by their sleeve or end of their shirt. ]

... please don't go in.

[ it's a small and sad plead. ]

ɪᴠ. ᴛʜɪs ɪs ʟɪᴛᴇʀᴀʟʟʏ ᴊᴜsᴛ ᴀ ᴄᴀᴛᴄʜ-ᴀʟʟ

[ if you want to thread anything else with rei (backdated or slightly forwarddated) or with kokichi, just lmk and i will be there. this is literally just a post for me to throw threads into because it'd be so much easier for me to track, laughs. ]

[ Tact what's that ]

Yes, I'll try my best. I promise.

[ He absolutely will do that but oh boy who knows how this is going to end (: ]

Food will be an acceptable payment.

[ lol she's not gonna say no to free stuff if it'll help her live easier but she finds Rei's sense of gratitude appealing. And off she goes to buy it and she hands the parasol over to Rei after it's bought. ]

I hope you will make good use of it.

[He doesn't have the best track record with girls, okay! Let him live...]

Are you staying there alone?

[Even if she's given him a location now, Killua still doesn't budge, apparently not liking her answer.]

[Abruptly he changes direction, steering her along with him.]

Fine, we'll go to my apartment instead. Do you even have anything for first aid in your room?

[The lack of her usual silly chatter makes him uneasy, though Killua figures the best way for him to handle it is to just act normal for now. (Really, he just doesn't know how to handle this)]

[ It's so nice seeing a smile on Rei's face as opposed to how gloomy she was earlier. RO gives a small wave as she leaves. Goodbye, tiny human... until we meet again... ]

[ Can't wait to see Bikini's lack of tact bite him in the ass :) ]

Are you sure you don't want to join me, Rei-chan?

[ He'd rather not leave her alone, but if that's her wish, he won't be too pushy. ]

To get you cleaned up.

[And also to keep an eye on her. Killua's pretty sure she shouldn't be left alone right now.]

[He stops in the middle of the street and turns her around so he can stare at her.]

You ran right into me on the way out. Argue all you want, but you're obviously in shock. Letting you go off on your own would be... [a resigned sigh] cruel. Okay?

[ Thanks :') This is what he gets for believing in the human potential ]

Okay, but be careful out there, Rei-chan.

[It's worrisome, the way she's so quiet when she'd normally be chattering at him over something ridiculous. At least that's a clue that he'd made the right choice here.

Silently, he leads her to his apartment, pushing the door open for her when they get there.]


You can take the chair for now. [As they head in, a couple curious kittens poke their heads out from under the bed and meow softly.]

[ The smile that forms in Rei's tiny lips is silencing the rowdy rumbling that was resounding deep within. His eyes narrow in mere fondness ー the thankful feeling that she's here with him right now washes over him. He grasps her hand in his tightly, keeping her close to him.

He swears, he'll do anything to protect her. ]


Let's get ya somethin' warm to drink too, yea?

[ Mondo never lets go of Rei's hand the entire time, even as his palms are getting damp (sorry Rei...). It probably takes about 10 minutes to reach their destination, and yet it feels like it's been an hour or so. The lady greeting them after Mondo knocks on the door immediately lets them in, without asking any further questions other than whether or not she's hurt. The moment Mondo says no, she pushes Rei gently towards where the bathroom is and shoos Mondo away.

"This is for hot water, and this is for cold. You can switch here for shower and for bath. I'll wash your clothes and get you something to wear tonight, so take your time in there, okay?" Her voice is gentle, just like the smile she's giving Rei. ]
