[DREAM] And they say, "Don't panic!"

[kernelpanicking]

He was no where he knew, in the middle of some apartment complex, trapped.

Trapped, trapped, trapped! And it was not funny. Especially when Wei-Fa Yao was crammed into the edge of the closet, hands clamped over his ears, really wishing the banging and laughing would go away from outside it. What did he ever do to deserve this? He wasn't a reckless

"Is someone there?"

A soft, gentle voice called. A soft hiss of annoyance later. "Stupid yureis, who've you got cornered today?"

[Action]

[kernelpanicking]

A voice? A voice! Oh, thank all things Holy! God, Kami, whatever!

Wei sucked in a breath, scrambling away from the much but calling out, hands braced at the door, "I'm here! I'm here! Get me out! This thing is gonna eat me!"

He'd worked tech support too long and he was too young to die!

[marno_malpercio]

A soft sigh.

"You're already feeding it. They feed on fear." There's a chattering, then a heavy clunk and the sound of a yurei slinking away. A few rips later, he answers again.

"It's okay to come out now. It can't get back in now."

And... well... huh...

"You know... uh..." Rethinking this? Maybe it wasn't such a good idea? "Right."

The man stepped over the fading muck, hands shaking, oh, god, shaking, and he licked his lips before carefully sliding the closet door open a bit to peek through it. Just to make sure! That's all! Really!

[There is a boy standing in a doorway, his head is hanging down, his fingers dripping with blood. he doesn't move, he doesn't speak, he just stands there like a shadowed ghost]

[kernelpanicking]

[Oh geez! Not happening! Not happening! This was just one nightmare right on top of another! Not funny!

Wei yelps and scrambles around, finding a dropped coat hanger to jag out in front of him.]

Back! I have a lethal and dangerous weapon!

[the_aurailia]

[Slowly, slowly, the boy turns his head, his hair is covering his eyes though as he faces the other male.]

Going to hang me up? Cowboy? [The boy asks, his accent is muddled, foreign, but unable to place] Hang me out to dry?

[kernelpanicking]

[Wei babbles something incoherent, sucking in a good breath-- because this shit is just so messed up right now, and he isn't sure what else to do.]

T-that's right, Kimosabe!

Sauntering down the hall with a duo of empty bottles in hand in one of her recent attempts of amusing herself (A game she liked to call "lets huck stuff at the Scarecrow and run like batshit"), a semi-open door in the hall did catch her eye for long enough to merit a pause in her jaunty stride. Either her hearing was shot or something in there was whimpering. Like, kicked puppy sort of I-wanna-bawl-my-eyes-out she'd heard before now and then by someone who felt a particularly strong attachment to life.
So, naturally curious what might be making said noise, Rubi crept into the room as silently as possible, settled a hand on the closet door, and cracked it open...

DD: Don't eat meeeeeeee!!

[kernelpanicking]

Wei did want to bawl his eyes out. Well, figuratively speaking. He still has some semblance of pride! He was a man, after all! Crying was for wusses, wich-- well, fuck all, okay, he was a wuss, but he was human! There was merit to it! And he liked living. He liked living quite a bit.

He was busy breathing in, breathing out, his knees to his chest so that his forehead was resting on them.

If he kept quiet, didn't make noise, maybe he could go back to sleep and wake up from this nightmare-- he didn't need this! Strange places freaked him out!

Well damn. Talk about your anticlimactic endings. After a pregnant pause spent stuffing her disappointment somewhere deep down with the other emotions she didn't like to entertain on a daily basis, she opened the closet door completely; one hand on the knob, the other cocked into a fist settled on her hip just shy of a revolver. Typical civvie from the look of the man. No threat.
Kinda unfortunate... she was getting accustomed to stuff leaping out of corners. Sure made life interesting if nothing else.

"So there are critters in the closets. I'll be damned." Rubi settled into a crouch in front of Wei with the typical arrogant semi-smirk on her lips, both empty bottles chiming against each other plaintively at the movement. "A little too scrawny to be a real spook there, buddy. You'd get a better deal as a zombie actor."

It wasn't in his job description, last Wei checked, to be some big bad boss to fight at the end of the level, busting out of the closet like some maniac. No, not really.

He was just... normal.

He hoped.

Who knew what had happened? Maybe the kidnappers has implanted him with some alien virus, or parasite or-- ew. Just... ew. And it didn't help, when the door opened, that Wei jumped a good half-foot, dark eyes rather wide, hands having half-fallen from the sides of his head. He opened his mouth, closed it, chewed at his lower lip.

"...think... so?" he finally ventured.
