( and then he was a dragon )

[Hey, everyone, it's the DR's favorite Kiryu, Baklava! And he's sitting in a chair, reading a magazine, inside a shop.

Did we happen to mention its a barber shop he's waiting in? Because it is. Now why would he be in a barber's shop?...]

[He comes out at last, wearing a long black cloak with red lining. It looks vaguely familiar. And, for some reason, he's coming out of Apollo's apartment complex, a dozen scantily-clad women hanging around his arms.]

Come on, girls. Let's go take this royal party to a bigger venue, shall we?

[Who'd have thought a punctured lung would take so long to heal? Well, it did. Sort of. It gont infected with something so the doctors made him stay in the hospital for much longer than anyone could have anticipated. But, hey, now Baklava is back! And he's all better!

There's just one small problem.]Jack ( Read more... )

[Baklava is in the hospital, thanks to...well... stuff. His rib had broken and pierced his lung, and they had to re-sew it and then put fun tubes in his armpits to reinflate his lung. This was before they could set his rib back fully, of course. He was still awake when they did everything. Not entirely. But awake enough to know what was happening ( Read more... )

[Kiryu is walking down the hall in an odd, shuffling pace. And for some reason, he seems to be sniffling. At least...it sounds like sniffing...like he's looking for something...]

[Baklava is on the beach, quietly laying down on a towel. He's alone, so he thinks, so he doesn't worry about concealing his scars.

He's about to find out why that is a bad idea.]

...

[He's reading a...card.

Who the hell was Pythia and what was this about smoking vapors?]

[There's a man, cloaked, skittering around and gathering things - stealing if he had to - from the rooms of the Dressing Room. Every now in then he'd pause, look in a random direction, and giggle. Yes, yes, that was a good idea. An excellent idea. He was going to do it too.

Get as much as you can. Wood. Lots of wood.

Something was wrong with him ( Read more... )

[Now that the lust plot is over, Kiryu has managed to gather his wits about him, and is approaching the door of one Jack Atlas known as Ganymede. He doesn't want to do this. He really, really doesn't. But he knows he has to. The last time he saw Ganymede, he'd just come out of his murder doll mode...

Slowly, finally, he knocks on the door.]
