[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. ]

After a quick glance around, and realizing that no one else is around to help him, Killua sighs and resigns himself to this fate.]
O-okay, just calm down. Why don't we get you cleaned up first?
no subject
O... Okay... [ her hands are still balled up to her face, though she's trying to wipe away the tears. ] I-- I h-have to go... to the inn...
[ since that's where she's staying. at the haunted inn... ]
no subject
Are you staying there alone?
[Even if she's given him a location now, Killua still doesn't budge, apparently not liking her answer.]
no subject
[ killua is not allowed to live and neither is rei because she has to live in that cursed haunted inn... she sleeps with the nightlamp on because all the ghosts freak her out, haha ]
no subject
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)]
no subject
[ killua's question goes completely through one ear and the other because she's far more perplexed about this. ]
Why are we going there?
no subject
[And also to keep an eye on her. Killua's pretty sure she shouldn't be left alone right now.]
no subject
[ good thinking, killua, she definitely should not be left alone, especially in an inn that already creeps her out. ]
no subject
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?
no subject

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.]
no subject
Okay...
[ she does what she's told and sits down. luckily, the blood has dried by now so she won't get anything dirty. when the kittens meow from the bed, she looks over at them. cute... she'll reach down a bit to extend out a hand. oh, they're a little dirty and bloody... ]
