WHO: Shin Seijuro (
ballista_knight ) and Musashi (
oldman_devilbat )
WHAT: Musashi rescues a poisoned and stranded Shin.
WHERE: Marketplace, later house #7
WHEN: Day 227
Shin had a revelation, crouched behind the counter of a flowerstand, one hand holding a large pair of garden shears, the other hand over his mouth. The spine in his leg itched and burned, he could hardly breathe, and the only thing keeping him from puking was willpower. His revelation was quite simple and somewhat elementary, but unusual for someone like him- he hated Rivelata. He wished he'd never come here, nor anyone he knew- he wished that Rivelata had never come into existence. Rivelata had claimed Raimon's life, hurt Sena profoundly, swallowed Hiruma whole, and that was only the damage it had caused to people he knew.
It was then that he knew that he couldn't let this place beat him. He had to stand up, to get out of this predicament. Rivelata was both a place and en entity all its own, a malicious spirit bent on destroying all the souls it took, and he couldn't let it beat him.
Perhaps later, he'd look back and think that these hazy and somewhat irrational thoughts were brought on by the poison and the fever, but now, they were what fired his will so that he could stand, ready to face the plants.
And puke all over his shoes.
