[ two locations, approximately nine dead bodies. ]

[ on the Third Residency Floor, tacked to the walls with make-shift nails and surrounded by cryptic, unintelligible markings. ]

[ in the center of the Recreation Area, heads hanging from pipes by hair and limbs[ it stinks like the decay is already setting in, like the rot finally got to the air, ( Read more... )

[And of course Hughes is one of those random people that would run into this sort of thing. He's got a napkin over his nose and he's making a unamused, disgusted face at the body tacked to the wall.

Time to give Roy a ring?]

[O hai Havoc. Hughes is gonna just turn with said hanky over nose. Just this eyebrow, right here. And maybe a motion to the corpses pinned to an effing wall. I was just trying to go home after Parenthood planning, man.]

Walking back from work and this is what I get to see? I was hoping this kind of thing blew up with our planet.

What's going on this time, then?

Re: [Action] wheelchairrace July 13 2010, 04:21:24 UTC

[Lights a cigarette. I'm sure it smells better that what's tacked up to the wall]

No idea. I haven't seen anything this gruesome for a long time.

NOT AT LOCATION BUT... chatwithdeath July 13 2010, 03:54:14 UTC

[Naomi is actually at work with a couple. Something about arguing over names or some silly nonsense like that when...]

...!

[She takes out her cell phone. In space, there is no service obviously, but that mist is unmistakable.]

... Please, excuse me for a moment...

[Naomi excuses herself and steps out into the hall. The phone will not stop ringing. What's happened? She opens it. A voice cries into her ear]

'...! Stop! A-AAHHH...!'

[... She was hoping this would go away. She hangs up, but it's going off again. This pattern repeats about eight more times; death rattling yells and screams just rattling away on the other line. Finally, she's free to hang up and lows her phone]

Extinguished almost at the same instance...? ... Or did you all just decide to reach me now...?

[Polly had been on the way to the movies, Alice snug in her backpack, when she first noticed the smell... And then the bodies. The non-fox pokes her head out over her shoulder, then climbs up and out, sprinting off to investigate. Polly follows, nose wrinkling at the scent--she's only experienced it in the dreams of others, before...]

[The fox reaches the hanging body parts first, whining. Close on her heels, Polly stops and stares, her face registering horror and... fascination. This is the first time she's seen death of this magnitude, decay so advanced, outside of dreams.]

[She finds herself thinking of Genkaku's Owl... and then she sees the note...]

[Closing her eyes, she reaches out with her mind.]

[Genkaku...]

[ "all in a day's (week's) work" seemed to suit the situation just fine. it's a prideful sort haze that hangs over the shackshop, thick with smoke and raucous music and solitary. ]

[ his fingers are loose on a joint when he hears the name uttered in his mind in that familiar voice. he could slam it out. he could put the walls up, slam her down as he has time and time before. but he's feeling brave, he's feeling good, and instead of closing her out, he lets her in. ]

[ the metal riffs are loud, the need for gore and carnage is a contagious disease that will suck her in, and when he answers back to her, there's a lure tangling her into him; ]

[ Hey'a. Ain't heard from you in a while. How're you doin' without what's-his-face? ]

[ it's an immediate low blow, because the last time he spoke to her, she was dealing with loss, loss, loss (the word echoes in his mind over and over). ]

Re: [action//PSYCHIC CONNECTION] curious_copycat July 13 2010, 04:43:07 UTC

[She flinches a little bit at that, and as quick as the snakes he favors, she corrects him, even though she knows he's baiting her.]

[Break.]

[The thought is as brittle as the name. She pauses a moment, determined never to give him that satisfaction again, focusing on the rot in front of her to force herself calm. The fascination is still there, something that he'd feel quite clearly through their connection. This is something that she will only know from the outside, and for a creature born to seek knowledge, that is a difficult thing, even if the knowledge is surely terrible.]

[Why have you done this?]

Re: [action//PSYCHIC CONNECTION] prayforprey July 13 2010, 05:02:17 UTC

[ Fittin' name. She pulls away and he presses it, trying to give her the same feeling of violation he gets every time she pries his mind open. Did he break ya? ]

[ that question goes directly unanswered, but there are several tracks, all traceable back to the root problem: they needed saved, they were suffering, send a message, cannon fodder. ]

[Kamui stares, several feet away from the actual scene. Close enough to take in every detail, but far enough to avoid the crowd that may be gathering soon.

Senses finely attuned to blood, gore and of course, death. He knows how things go, how it happens. He's had blood on his hands so many times, whether he's done it himself, or he caused it with the destruction of kekkai. He's one of the few people who have become finely attuned to the smell of blood and can keep a straight face while looking at it.

It's times like this when all emotion is removed from his body and he does not look at things the way a normal person would. No care, no concern, nothing whatsoever. He just looks. Watches. Reads the writing.

And thinks.

"Of course. We're all animals."]

Re: recreation area feistyflowright July 13 2010, 06:54:20 UTC

[Fai slides to Kamui's side, silently and without a word. He had noticed the nostalgic scent whilst traversing through the halls and decided to take a look. Curiosity wasn't always the kindest to those who sought her out.

His soft, sapphire eyes had become sharper. The pupils became slit-like as the blood wafted it's metallic aroma towards him. The vampire blood within him reacted as he stood there. In a way, it made him hungry, yet also repulsed.

After several moments, Fai tore his eyes away from the scene and it's gruesome message, looking towards Kamui. He stepped a little closer, whispering gently into his ear.]

The answer is quite clear, wouldn't you agree?

Re: recreation area wishgazer July 13 2010, 10:05:31 UTC

It always is.

[He closes his eyes, snapping out of his spell. Whatever it is. Nostalgia, maybe. A yearning to... something? It's been a long, long while since earth and the Final Battle and Kamui.

But then again, he has no reason to touch people here with a truly threatening hand.]

Re: recreation area feistyflowright July 13 2010, 17:27:18 UTC

[Fai nods slightly, a faint smile upon his face. If anyone were to understand, it would be Kamui. He felt an odd connection with him, yet it also seem familiar. He was far different from Fuuma... The similarities started with appearance and ended with voice. Aside from that, nothing.]

What will you do?

[There is familiar scent in the air as she arrives on the third floor. She glances at the bodies and then her eyes travels to the letters smeared in blood.]
