[Gau's busy after the events at Malik's disgusting shared house-place*. He still hasn't found his main notebook, almost completing the transferrance of his files into the backup, and...it's been raining. Storming actually. And Raikou's out, as ever.
And he didn't take his umbrella--the ruffled one by the door that looked more like a parasol than anything else...
Gau knits his brow, then goes back to making cocoa, setting Dry clothes in the dryer to be heated for when Raikou comes back, a towel by the door...
He dusts in between blasts of thunder, shivering a little. The scar in his chest aches when it rains now. He's beginning to notice that... He rubs it, wincing as he keeps dusting, arranging Raikou's boots by the door, and hanging back up the man's coat, then pulling out the vacuum.
He notes the paint by the doors as he's working, zooming under things. Pink paint. He has to fight down a smile. He'll have to mix it when Raikou's not looking, with red, so at least the house doesn't end up with fluorescent rooms that don't match the furniture...
Another crash of thunder, and the lights flicker, then go out entirely, along with the vacuum.
Gau sighed, then starts rummaging for candles and flashlights.
He hears the door open, and freezes.
No noise...just a faint whimpering.
THOSE THINGS ARE BACK!
Gau grips his maglight in both hands. (it should do for a club!) and starts creeping towards, the door, then, when he thinks he has a good bead on the noise, he charges with a yell!]
(((*: Considering I'm mostly responsible for how long this has taken, would you believe me if i said you're literally probably half a dozen lines from closure? depends on how the comments flow, of course, but...)))
