4th WALL POST!

[playwitchu]

Why are there suddenly a lot more people? I don't know if I like it or not.... Eric where you are you? [So she can hide near you.]

.... Is Batman and Miss Grell okay?

Is this even normal to have the scientists bring this many people in at once?

Comments

[onemoredeath]

Scientists you say?

[playwitchu]

[She goes to let out a squeak in surprise and.... She has no one to hide behind.]

Y-Y-Yes, they are the ones that brought us here.

[onemoredeath]

Are they now? [ The surprise, he is used to it. He sort of curls his fingers in so the stubs would not be that noticeable. ] I wouldn't know.

[playwitchu]

[Dude, you smell of blood. She fidgets just a little.]

Yes, they are.... Do you have a name, mister? [That smell is making her curious about you. And all acts of shyness is slowly fading away.]

[onemoredeath]

[ So do you, but it is a faded smell. ]

I had one... Takegami I believe it was.

[playwitchu]

[Sai moves closer in order to get a better sniff..... Strange, why the scent of blood on this move not scaring her or making her on edge like it would a normal person? Okay, now it's time to try and see his hands but his answer caused her to stop her search.]

..... You also don't have a name? [She ponders for a moment.] Then keep Takegami! It's your name isn't it?!

[onemoredeath]

It is better than most I could be granted. [ Tilts his head to the side and takes a deep breath, sniffing as well. It was so faint. How interesting for such an apparently young girl. ]

You also acquired a name instead of get born with one?

[playwitchu]

But then keep it, [She hears him sniffing her but it doesn't bother her. At the question, she perks and giggles.]

I have! A shinigami gave me the name of Heather!... I don't think that besides him, anyone every bothered to give me one.

[onemoredeath]

I shall. [ And he uncurls his hands, showing the mutilation to them - from the last joint to the tips, they were all missing, the marks on them ragged looking. ]

A shinigami... So this is a lost land?

[playwitchu]

[She smiles up at him even more before reaching over to try and take one of his hands into her own.] Did it hurt?

[She blinks before giggling more now.] No, this is a fun place! There is so far two shinigamis here. They are both really cool and fun to be around!

[She officially likes you now, Takegami. Just because of your scent and believing her about shinigamis.]

[onemoredeath]

What is pain when there is a much better reward waiting? [ Let's her take one of his hands into hers. She could easily see that he had some beautiful hands with long fingers but now they look wrong. The ends of the stubs are jagged and looked like someone had tried to clean the damage a little but for the most part they looked as if something bit them off. ]

I can imagine. Shinigami so seem interesting in the tales.

[playwitchu]

Like what type of reward? [She is curious but is even more curious about his hands. Her small pale ones tracing his maimed one.]

They are a lot of fun... I can introduce you to them if you like, Takegami!

[Hnnnn, she cannot stop touching his hand. Just what has happened to his hands?]

[onemoredeath]

The death of three people that had thought they would be cleared of all guilt. [ The scars are jagged and hard, but otherwise his hands are strong and warm. He was watching her expression, letting her trace the scars and feel his skin. ]

Perhaps later. I do not wish to cause undue disturbances.

[playwitchu]

Were they guilty? [She closes her eyes as she then moves his hand to her face. So strong and so warm, and that blood smell so much more stronger now. And for some strange reason, it was calming to her.]

But you wouldn't cause any of that... You are showing your face.

[onemoredeath]

They were. Where I was I came there out of my own foolishness. They had felt to add another burden onto my own without fear. [ His lips quirked up, spreading his fingers and letting her take a deep breath even while watching in case violence arises. ] So I gave them a different fear.

Ah, it is only just a facet of my face. There are always layers to how a person acts.

[playwitchu]

[Frowns a little but still remained completely calm and relaxed.] That was a mean thing to do to you. I am glad that you did that. [She kept her eyes closed. This man's hand.... Was not one to fear... Unlike the one in her dreams. She blinks and giggles, smiling as much as she can.]

But Eric said that you cannot trust anyone that hides their face. [True facts. Therefore, anyone whose face is showing is trustworthy!]
