[Action/Video] R-return from canon update |D'

[13_sugars]

[The ground shakes a bit. The entrence to the catacombs lights up like a firework, blue electricity sparking from it. An explosion of lightning bursts from the entrance, clearing out a little area of the forest in front of it, leaving trees nothing but smoldering stubs or skeletal black wood. The being that caused it flies out, its watch falling,

[lousygoodfriend]

[This has to end now. She's not entirely sure what that thing is, but she has honestly had ENOUGH of dangerous things in this city.

Still sporting a healing wound, she does at least pace herself in making her way to the catacombs. Once she arrives, she might as well try speaking.]

Despite the fact you are not emerging from the train station, you seem to be new, in the fact that you are screaming for someone that... does not seem to be arriving. Furthermore, if they were, this sort of behavior is still hazardous. I suggest you calm down, please, before I have to do something about this.

[13_sugars]

[He turns to face her, mid-air, and listens to her words.

Train Station.

New...

...he was back in...]

...no...

[He pauses before giving a rageful, mourning roar and shoots back towards the ground and into the catacombs, not too far in, but far enough that the blue glowing lines of his body almost vanish into the darkness.]

[lousygoodfriend]

...

[She might as well. She'll walk in after him, keeping an eye out, the glow of her own skin coming very much in handy. She'll call in after him as well.]

Going back in there is not going to fix anything. Unless of course your intention was to harm yourself. I personally just had a friend emerge from there, and it was not pretty.

[13_sugars]

...it wouldn't bother me any...

[After this? After failing to save his home from his brother, and showing the world he'd escaped to the monster he really was...

He let the scythe dissolve back into the blood it was made of, up into his arm.]

Action!

[asapphireheart]

[That's.... unnerving. What started out at a jog to get herself back into better shape after being sick, turned into a mildly panicked summoning of her Keyblade at the sight of him and that intimidating scythe.]

Whoa!

[Jumping back, holding onto Master Keeper tightly.]

Relax, no one here wants to fight!

[13_sugars]

[He sees the keyblade, first and foremost, and zips toward her, quick as lightning, and is right upon her when he's comprehending her form, her voice and words, and he pauses right before he reaches her, the gust from the force of his movement passing him. His scythe stays suspended in its coiled position, but then he lowers it.]

....

[asapphireheart]

[Oh jeez, he's fast! It's like Vanitas all over again, except not. Aqua shivers at the gust of wind but definitely not out of fear. When he lowers the scythe, she lets her grip on the Keyblade loosen.]

It's alright... Whoever Cain is, he's not here.

[She pauses, looking at him carefully. She knows that face-] Father Nightroad?

[13_sugars]

...

[He drops the scythe, and it dissolves into liquid, sliding up into his arm.]

....n...no, I...I'm sorry.

[His wings flap and he moves back a ways, intent on turning around and fleeing.]

[Back at the mansion thread, once Abel has been calmed down]

[13_sugars]

[The priest stumbles in tiredly, and makes his way to the kitchen to prepare some tea. He won't be sleeping tonight.]

[existsnomore]

[While he hadn't come running himself when Abel returned, he hadn't missed the most likely accidental video on the watch at least, and has been sitting around the mansion ever since, pacing about, wandering up and down from the basement, down the stairs, up, back down and up again, at least until he hears the door and Abel's familiar footsteps heading toward the kitchen.

Part of him tells him that his presence here is unnecessary, but Abel has given him a place to stay that's open to him when he wants to use it, and even if he's not quite sure how to show it, he's grateful for that, so... If anything, he wants to make sure the other is ok. Even if he's kind of sure he's far from it, judging by his actions earlier.

Heading for the kitchen, he lingers outside the door for a moment, before peeking in, only partially visible from behind the door frame. Of course, this might register as a fearful sort of behavior, but....]

[13_sugars]

[The smell of dead blood is strikingly obvious to him, especially having freshly changed back from being a Crusnik, but his back is facing Yoite and he doesn't seem to acknowledge his presence. He goes about brewing the lemon tea, and adding honey to it, before grabbing the sugarbowl and abusing the amount you're supposed to put in a cup of tea.]

[existsnomore]

[He stays where he is for now, not moving, just observing him quietly, his movements, trying to see if he can get some idea for just what he needs right now by watching him. He's good at observing after all, just not all too good at figuring people out. He seems... Normal? He doesn't know, and it's somewhat frustrating.

Glancing down, the ninja finally steps out from his hiding place and into the kitchen, though stays by the door, fiddling with his gloves a bit distantly, before focusing on the other.]

Abel. [He starts, but then falls quiet... He's not quite sure what to say next.]

[Action]

[strayintoshadow]

[Stray just happened to be walking past... but maybe it's more than that. Maybe she was called. Whatever it is, Stray freezes when she sees this being... That scent. Unafraid she approaches, shadows whirling around her feet-- they'll protect her even if she won't protect herself.]

...Father Abel Nightroad?

[Action]

[13_sugars]

[He doesn't hear her voice at first, for how high up he is, and furthermore he doesn't recognize the place quite yet.]

CAIN! WHERE ARE YOU HIDING?!

[Perma-Action]

[strayintoshadow]

[Stray frowns and shadow jumps to the top of a building, crouching on the roof to call out again.]

Father! Father Abel Nightroad!

[13_sugars]

[He hears the voice this time. He turns and looks directly at Stray. A few moments later he plummets toward the building, stopping just before he gets there, a gust of wind rushing past him.]

...Stray...

[...Then...this was Ruby City.]
