[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. ]

[ it's hard to care about food when all you're thinking about is your friend dying on you. it's fine. it's fine. she'll eventually eat one day. ]
Maybe next time?
no subject
[ It's high time to ask her this directly since he's getting nowhere with the invitations. ]
no subject
Mmhm... [ she nods. ] I feel really really bad right now... I'm sorry, Hibiki-kun.
no subject
[ It's too dangerous. People around here are pretty nice, but what if nobody notices that something is off about her? ]
no subject
It's not that kind of bad... um, I'm not sick, but I don't feel good.
[ i'm sorry, mad, rei just sucks at talking. ]
no subject
Oh, okay. [ At least he understands that seeing a doctor might not be necessary. Still, it looks like she could use a distraction. ] Do you want to go and see how the preparations are going? I'm sure everyone over there will love your new look. I like it, too.
no subject
My new look...? [ she looks down at herself. ] Oh, do you mean the cape?
no subject
[ Yes, finally...a working distraction. What he is not aware of is that it'll make her remember Zen, oopsie. ]
no subject
Mmm...
[ she looks down at the cape. she holds onto it as she lifts it up a bit. ]
This belongs to Zen. I wrote down a wish that he would arrive here as well, but this is all I got. I guess they can't bring entire people over here based on wishes...
no subject
[ On the other hand, maybe it's better if they stay where they are for their own good...at least Bikini has some common decency not to say that. Is Rei going to wear that during heatwave, by the way...because if yes, then rest in pieces, girl. ]
Let's figure how to come back to them, instead.
[ Haha ]
no subject
[ she might because if she wears it, it's like zen is with her!! lmfao god help her during the heatwave. also bikini... why would you suggest this to her... are you telling her to go back to being dead... ]
As in leave Hirajiro...? This world?
no subject
Yes...I mean, going back is probably everyone's goal, so I'm sure we can achieve it.
[ haha ]
no subject
... I know that I have to go back, but what if I don't want to?
[ she says in the smallest little voice. ]
no subject
Maybe...maybe you'll get the chance to stay. I don't know.
[ He doesn't want to ask her directly whether she's truly okay with being away from someone so precious to her, but the question definitely is hanging in the air because this is fine (: ]
no subject
But we're not meant to be here, right? We'll all have to leave eventually?
[ she gets a bit louder as she starts to get more upset. ]
no subject
There are people waiting for us back home...
[ He just can't imagine that Rei's backstory is so sad. ]
no subject
[ thanks, bikini. she raises her hands to her face and starts to quietly sniff as her eyes fill up with tears. ]
no subject
Oh.
[ At least he understands what might be the reason behind her behaviour up until now—it just didn't occur to him that someone as cheerful as Rei could ever be alone. ]
Rei-chan... [ What about the leaders she mentioned?? He doesn't understand, but it doesn't mean he's just going to watch her tear up. Hibiki pulls out a pack of tissues and holds it out to Rei. ] Here...
no subject
... I... I don't have anyone... they're all gone.
[ the p3/4 teams all left and the fake school disappeared after their leave. as for zen... ]
A-And I don't know wh-- where Zen is.
no subject
I'm sure he's looking for you.
[ It's not like he knows who Zen is, but he'd better be going through every nook and cranny looking for her!! ]
Rei-chan, you're not alone and you won't ever be alone, okay?
no subject
I-I don't know if he can...
[ her hands curl up even tighter around the tissues as she keeps her head down. she occasionally dabs her eyes with one of the tissues, but sometimes, the tears fall faster than she can find the energy to wipe them away. ]
He... he disappeared. H-- He might have disappeared.
no subject
Rei-chan...
[ Just what in the world happened there. ]
If you don't want to go back then maybe there's a way to stay here. Or maybe even move to another world. I'm not sure, but I'll try to figure it out.
no subject
R-Really...? [ oh boy, don't give her false hope, hibiki... she finally tilts her head up by a bit to look at him with her tear-stained face. ] Will you find a way...?
no subject
Yes, I'll try my best. I promise.
[ He absolutely will do that but oh boy who knows how this is going to end (: ]
no subject
O... Okay...
[ she doesn't sound super hopeful but she'll latch on this all the way until her dungeon. thanks :) she'll wipe the rest of her tears away with the tissues. ]
T-Thanks, Hibiki-kun... s-sorry, you should eat breakfast now.
