Adstringendum Kill-Log

Rain.

Calm, cleansing, relaxing. Rain.It was coming down hard; almost blinding, and very nearly deafening. But he wouldn't have had it any other way. It reminded him of Barcelona, when he happened across that Exorcist with the dunce cap and soccer ball. What had his name been? Daisya Barry? Such a mouthy young lad

Sasuke liked the rain. He liked the smell, the chill in the air that followed a good shower. It was calming, and it gave him time to just relax. Relaxing was something he badly needed to do, especially lately. Too much going on, it was a little annoying.

So he just stood atop the roof of an abandoned building, under an umbrella - Hitsugaya would scold him otherwise - and just glanced up at the dark, cloudy sky. He was content to stay like this until his body told him otherwise, but.

He could sense someone approaching. Instantly, he went on high alert as he activated his Sharingan. He waited a minute before glancing down at the street from the corner of his eye. A few more seconds and Sasuke realized who it was down there.

...Tyki. He recognized him easily from one of the events, thanks to the dark skin. But the way his hair was...

Well. Wasn't this just lovely.

It wasn't unusual, in this place, to get the feeling that there were eyes watching you. Not that the feeling had ever been a particularly unpleasant one for Tyki. Save for... well, when those eyes belonged to Cyril. Or the Boss. Or, on the rare occasion, the Walker boy as well. There was something about Walker that unnerved him. The boy knew too much.

There were eyes definitely following him now, however, and he could only venture guesses as to who they belonged to. It wasn't Walker; as foolishly heroic as the boy could be, he wasn't very adept at subtlety. Perhaps it was the Icey Boy. Or maybe even the Scarred Boy.

He kicked at a pebble on the ground and fished around for a cigarette, lighting it in a small pocket of rejected air to prevent the rain from putting out his light, and took a long drag.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are~"

Sasuke quickly and silently folded the umbrella so the sound of the rain against it wouldn't give away his location. When the capabilities of your enemy were unknown, the last thing you wanted to do was draw attention to yourself.

Sasuke didn't know if using even the smallest amount of chakra would draw attention to him, either, but he knew that with this rain, not using it would get him noticed. He moved carefully and silently, but also slowly toward the chimney of the house he was on.

"..." Crimson eyes continued to watch, narrowing just slightly in confusion as they caught sight of the cigarette staying lit, despite the heavy downpour. ...How the fuck was that even possible?

Whoever it was that was watching him was smart. Silent. Composed. Perhaps it was the Icey Boy, who seemed intelligent enough to know how to keep his gob shut while properly stalking his prey.

If he noticed the use of chakra or not, Tyki didn't show it. The place was strange enough as it is, with different pings and rings. Different objects with different properties. Things here weren't quite all that they seemed. There had been things that Tyki had been able to phase through that he knew he shouldn't have been, and vice versa; things he'd been surprised to find himself stepping through.

No, it was best to look unaffected. Best to keep it casual. Keep it calm.

Tyki came to a stop just under the chimney of the nearest building, and took another long drag, letting his head roll back onto his shoulders again. Something on the roof caught his eye, a figure ducking just out of sight, and Tyki's lips curled into a wicked sort of smirk around his cigarette. He chuckled very softly.

"Found you."
