[ He hadn't been expecting anyone else. Ryoji silently stood there--still covered in bandages, without his signature scarf, his hair down for once and not slicked back.

The bandages were on his head, around where Gamzee had cracked his head with his, his chest, his wrist, and around his arms where the cuts had been particularly bad. Luckily, he healed quickly enough to be... up, by now.

He'd stopped by a flower place, and gotten a bouquet. What he asked for was an odd request, but they filled it for him anyway. He'd put it in the day before; only stopped by to pick it up now.

So in the alleyway where he'd... had to let go of her body (and all hope of her living any further), Ryoji dropped a bouquet of blue flowers on the ground, in the corner. Some of the cerulean and black blood--each of theirs, respectively--was left still soaking into the cobblestone. The body was gone, and maybe... he was the only one leaving something here, but he did it nevertheless. ]

I'm... sorry.

[ It was... still difficult to speak, but it had gotten a lot easier over the last few days as his unnatural body began healing itself.

Ryoji was so wrapped up in his own thoughts that he really failed to sense Break was there. It was truly ironic, Death, leaving flowers for the departed. But... to him, it was a way to properly say "Goodbye". ]

[A red eye catches on the scene and he cannot help but smirk amusedly. Ahah. And one of the players in this sad drama had returned to the stage, was it?

...How predictable. He steps closer, until he is peering over Ryoji's shoulder at the flowers.

And--]

...They do so compliment the black very well!

[ AJHAKSLKJDHG--he was NOT EXPECTING THAT. Ryoji startles pretty quickly, and turns around to see Break. ]

[2/2] derparcana March 14 2011, 06:27:31 UTC

Oh... it's you.

[ Oh gosh, his heart. ]

You think...? It's... the same as her-- [ Ahem. ] --Text color. The blue.

sophistly March 14 2011, 06:34:13 UTC

...How tragic.

[...mmhm. The amusement, it is clear.]

It is quite unfortunate, but I am afraid I must inform you that flowers do not grow well in blood!

derparcana March 14 2011, 06:45:29 UTC

[ ... Huff. ]

That's not the point, you know? It's... a memory thing.

[ B-baaaaw. Vriska. ;; ] Anyway, what're you doing here? It could still be dangerous. You should be careful.

sophistly March 14 2011, 06:50:57 UTC

I rather believe I can take care of myself.

But my, thank you for your concern, Mister Death~

[La la la. Stepping on over to observe the blood.]

A curious thing, such dark blood. I am left wondering if it might mean something.

derparcana March 14 2011, 07:02:26 UTC

I can take care of myself too. So could Vriska-chan... That... doesn't mean you might not be in danger.

[ Well, it's long dried by now, of course. Not all of it has really been cleaned up yet, though. The cerulean blood is quite strange, and the black, well... not all of it had seeped together. Some of it was quite separate.

Ryoji merely looks away. ]

... I have a name, you know.

[ ... But more importantly... ] You never told me yours, Jester-san.

sophistly March 14 2011, 07:06:26 UTC

There are meanings all around, Mister Death. It is merely a matter of picking the meanings you prefer, of course.

[...He chuckles. "Jester-san", hm? And so he dances a step or two away and bows, flamboyantly.]

Ah, how remiss of me. I am known as Xerxes Break.

derparcana March 14 2011, 07:11:38 UTC

[ HUFF. ]

That's not the point! I don't care how strong you are, he could kill you. It's... dangerous.

[ Sigh. ] Break-san... what are you doing here, anyway? I'm sure someone told you about what happened by now, right...?

sophistly March 14 2011, 07:14:34 UTC

You are correct. That is not the point at all, for the point, I believe, was found right here.

[Clack--the cane comes down where the most blood was spilled, and he chuckles, darkly.]

I wonder; the point seems to have been quite sharp indeed.

derparcana March 14 2011, 07:22:21 UTC

[ ... A pang of pain from remembering watching that final blow. Gamzee taking her own dagger from her and cutting her right down the middle--

He bites back the tears, and swallows. ]

... S-so what? That... well...

[ He exhales. It's a little painful still, but not as bad as it had been, at first. He... honestly doesn't want to be reminded of that. ]

sophistly March 14 2011, 07:28:38 UTC

Oh? And now you ask me for the point?

My, my, Mister Death, you are curiously indecisive. Which is it you'd prefer, I wonder?

[So he was right. He thought so. ...and why is he here? For little more than curiosity, at the moment.]

derparcana March 14 2011, 07:34:51 UTC

... I just couldn't save her, okay?

[ And it hurts him. So, so very badly. ]

sophistly March 14 2011, 07:37:51 UTC

You could not. In fact, one could say that by your very existence, she was taken away from you.

...Ah, quite tragic indeed.

If you did not exist, it would have been impossible for such a thing to happen, correct?

derparcana March 14 2011, 07:53:05 UTC

... It's not like that.

[ Sigh. ] I'm an embodiment, not... I don't CAUSE people to die! Not... not yet.
