[Ki sits on the floor of Haru's old room sniffing a bottle of alcohol. He makes a face at the scent then because he's thirsty takes a few gulps of the liquor. The quarter sets it down and looks about the room...How ugly. So white and bright in comparison to what Ki wanted which was silver and black. He would have to change that later but for now...

[hurricanebomber]

Uh...sure. When?

[platinum_claws]

How about two hours from now? Meet me here, you brought the liquor last time so it's my turn.

[hurricanebomber]

Yeah, okay. I'll see you then.

[And in two hours, he turns up and knocks.]

[platinum_claws]

[Ki is waiting for him outside of Haru's room. The ex-mirror is wearing black leather shorts, a black and silver sleeveless backless shirt with a cheongsam influenced collar and front. He shakes a bottle of vodka.]

Let's go somewhere else for now. The cat has been crying all morning. Do anything interesting during the chess game?

[Indeed Orenji can be heard meowing sadly because Ki locked her in the bathroom and refused to let her out.]

[hurricanebomber]

[Gokudera's experience with cats has taught him that they make no sense whatsoever, so he doesn't give much thought to Orenji crying.]

No, not really. [He follows where Ki leads.] What about you?

[platinum_claws]

I didn't do anything special. Just what you would expect of me.

[Ki muttered with a little enthusiasm. Only one fight against a guy who wasn't an emotional fool. Ah well at least they had won. He leads the way, my this is a distance isn't it? away from everyone else..on a fairly empty floor..]

So you're all right? I heard Ryuho went looking for you.

[hurricanebomber]

He did? I ran into his Mirror, but not him.

[He looks around and raises an eyebrow.] Where exactly are we going?

[platinum_claws]

He got mad at me. He's really emotional lately. Especially about you.

Room 567. I like that succession of numbers...Very simply put I don't want to be harassed for being noisy. Going overboard?

[hurricanebomber]

[He shrugs.] Whatever makes you happy I guess.

[He doesn't mention the Ryuho thing. Still...not sure where he stands there.]

[platinum_claws]

Happy? Whatever makes me happy.

[He reaches the door and squeezes the knob a little harder than what's necessary. Oh look it's the same room. Same set up...but where's Ryuho?]

Well maybe I should show you something that makes me 'happy'? Would you like to see it?

[There's a tinge of annoyance in his voice. If he wasn't planning something better he would have attacked now.]

[hurricanebomber]

[Gokudera looks sideways at him, but shrugs. He's used to Haru being annoyed at him--just more...happy annoyed, if annoyance could be described that way.]

Sure...?

[platinum_claws]

[Ki locks the door then leads Gokudera to the closet where there's a Ryuho sitting in a corner, head bowed. Not unconcious, but obviously not really seeing anything in the room. Might have cuts and bruises from having been restrained at some point. Needle marks on his arm.

He dumps the liquor on the alter user's head making sure to hit the cuts with the alcohol.]

You have a visitor~

[calculatedfire]

[Ryuho jerks his head, hissing through his teeth as the liquor stings in his cuts. His eyes are wide, only a thing line of red circling the dialated pupils.]

[hurricanebomber]

[Gokudera stares for a minute, then steps forward quickly.]

What the fuck are you doing?! [It might be hard to tell which of them he's addressing.]

[platinum_claws]

I gave him what he wants but not what he needs. [Ki leans down near Ryuho's head and whispers softly.]

You should take what you want? What's reason to someone like you? That's all you are. An emotional shit incapable of controlling even the most base impulse. Your future is Ryu. He's yours isn't he?

[calculatedfire]

[Ryuho suddenly sucks in a breath of air and turns to swing his fists.]

Shut up! You're lying! SHUT UP!

[He's not exactly coherant, or event looking where he's punching right now, he just needs it to stop.]
