[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. ]

That it's haunted? Yeah. I guess she'll never visit me if I lived there.

[ He wants his friends to visit! All the time!! ]

... Huh?

[ Terry looks surprised at her suggestion and the face stays frozen for a bit...

Snap him out of it, Rei.

[ gasp... thankfully, Rei doesn't have to resort to doing such a thing and Terry's eyes refocus. ]

Ah, uh... yeah. Well, if it's okay with Kido, then I'd be fine with it...

[ He's kind of expecting a no for reasons. ]

[personal profile] overstrain 2019-08-05 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing! I'd love to move in, since that would be one less thing to worry about and I can spend time with you both more, but I'm not sure if Kido would agree...

[ He has an uneasy feeling... ]

[personal profile] overstrain 2019-08-05 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Um...

[ He's having some intense flashbacks to all the times when Kido punched him and nearly got him killed.

...
]

N...o...

Sorry! I just... well...

[ He lightly scratches the side of his head. ]

We didn't get into a fight. But we sometimes argue.

[ It's honestly more one-sided and Terry just takes it from Kido anyway because he's so whipped to both Kido and Rei. This household would be a disaster. ]

No! They're not bad, I guess. It's just what we do sometimes and... I wouldn't want you to feel bad. But it's not like we argue all the time! I'd like to think she's one of the closer friends I have here.

So, don't worry. But it's good to get Kido's permission too, right?

[ Terry actually has a variety of reasons as to why he'd be scared of sharing the same house with Kido, but that's... fine. He'd like to move in anyway. ]

Yeah, living with friends really does sound like a lot of fun. I'm sure it would be really fun if I lived together with you two. If that happens, I can cook meals from an actual kitchen!

[ He has never taken the convenience of a kitchen for granted... ]

Of course, Rei! I'll cook anything you want. Just say the word and I'll do my best to cook it up. My specialty are eggs, even though I can cook other things too. So if you have an egg dish you want to try out, you can let me know! I'll make it the tastiest thing you've ever eaten.

[ He can't be any more dead than this, Rei... adulting such as paying bills are a reality now. ]

I can teach you how to cook if you want. Just the simple things!

[ Honestly? Yeah, he'd do that, but going under a new identity is tiring, especially in a small town........ ]

Oh... I want to experience that once too.

[ He's always the one who woke up to make breakfast, and even if he wasn't, his friend left him frozen meals out that he could eat. ]

Eggs are pretty simple, so we can start with that...

[ Damn... ichi just fucking loves scorching terry whenever she can.... LMAO ]

I, um...

[ It's so nice being praised by Rei though. He doesn't want to ruin it. ]

I just do my best for everything!

But Rei, you're already more than enough...

[ He gives her a hug. Ugh. My little sister figure can't be this cute... At least with Rei, he doesn't have to worry about getting punched when hugging, unlike with Kido. He also shakes her a little side to side. ]
