[ tonight should have been a night best spent with others' companies, but six isn't in the mood to mingle right now. if anything, he'd rather be far away from everyone else, safe from curious eyes and wayward laughs. he doesn't know why it is that he isn't in the best of moods—then again, after giving up the memory of someone precious, he wonders if this is as close as he'll get to mourning.

not that the peace he just found lasts all that long. he senses someone is closing in on him way before rokurou even says anything, ears flickering as they swivel towards the source of his voice. the rest of his body follows, expression softening. ]


Shouldn't you be celebrating?

[ they all should be, but six doesn't count himself. he never has.

he doesn't think he has the right. ]

[ the scoff escapes him before he could stop himself. ]

... Do I look like the type to party?

[ shaking his head, he can only imagine the answer rokurou will give him. something close to a joke or a tease as is typical of the daemon's behaviour. he wouldn't mind it on a normal day, but right now he barely has the energy to deal with it. they're so close too, close enough that it wouldn't take much for rokurou to reach out and pull him even closer—

he takes a step back before finding someplace he can sit down. the area they're in is quiet enough with the perfect view of the stars above. looking at them makes his heart hurt for reasons unknown.

don't you know? your name means— ]


You'll be better off spending your time with the rest of them.

APRIL | after the rain maulings, hope this is ok

[personal profile] convicter 2021-05-19 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ He barricades himself inside. Not to keeping anything else out, but to keep the wolf in.

He can handle being alone with the wolf but the endless war inside his own head wears him down, even armed with Emily's tea to soothe their connection. He wanders in and out of reality, wakes to find himself pushing against the door, in wolf shape, clawing at the walls. Sometimes, thankfully, it's more mundane: he'll wake up on the floor, he'll be cooking and not know how he got there, or realize he's in the tub in his clothing.

The isolation devours him.

He hasn't really used the passage between their apartments; Rokurou is more often his guest than the other way around. Yuri cooks, they play cards, drink. It's an easy friendship even if they don't see each other much.

He shambles into Rokurou's apartment in the late evening, looking haggard. He hasn't slept right in days, hasn't showered properly, hasn't had the brain power to do anything more than force the ancient spirit inside himself to submit. He emerges from Rokurou's closet, clutching the crooked door. In the low light, his silver eyes shine like coins. ]


I need to cash in that favor.

[ His voice sounds rough. ]

[ Rokurou seems to recognize what he's looking at. Must've heard the noise the wolf made, or maybe he can just read it in Yuri's hollow gaze. Yuri has a hard time focusing on what's right in front of him, the details of Rokurou's face and clothing hazy at best. Everything seems to slide. ]

I need. [ He takes a rattling breath. Focus! ] I need you to promise—

[ For a moment his eyes flash amber-gold. In his mind's eye he can see Rokurou's blight light up like a horrific lantern, a cacophony of murmurs exploding in his head.

Murderer. Fratricide. Arrogant wretch!

No. No. Ozen, he calls harshly, and the wolf's name seems to give them both a shred of clarity. Yuri wrestles it back down, but not before his clenching fist has punctured right through the closet door. His eyes are gray again.

But he really doesn't have the time to be dawdling.

Surging forward, he grabs Rokurou's haori. His hands are encrusted with blood, and now splinters, but it gives him something to anchor himself to, something to keep him in reality. ]


Damn wolf's making a fool outta me...! [ He turns that half-feral gaze on Rokurou's, like raising a hammer. ] I need you to promise that if I get out of here you're going to kill me, got it?!

[ Nothing less will be enough. ]
convicter: (030)

[personal profile] convicter 2021-06-07 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's just now he notices, he and Rokurou are exactly the same height. Their eyes are level, so he can see the steady, steely confidence in Rokurou's gaze as he swears to keep Yuri in line.

It's—a huge relief.

Just knowing he has that buffer, that he can focus on staying in his own head, lets him breathe.

Tethered by their joined hands, the only way he has to go is forward, until his forehead bumps against the other man's. ]


Good. [ His eyes shut and he sags a bit, feeling the weight come off. ] Good.

[ Truth is, who else could he ask? Shinobu, maybe, but he isn't sure the wolf would fall to poison. He needs to be sure. Rokurou is many things, loyal certainly, but Yuri is completely sure that he would fell the beast if it came to that. That Yuri's presence, no matter how faint, wouldn't stay his blade.

In the air between them, he murmurs: ]


I'm the one who's gonna owe you, after this.

[ Given the request, it might feel presumptuous to assume there's gonna be an after this, but he's far from counting himself out. ]

june | your shadow half remains

[personal profile] nekonoe 2021-06-07 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
( the blood rain has a sinister effect on everyone, including konoe--- especially konoe. though he may not know his youkai very well at all and frankly doesn't want to acknowledge its existence, the horned serpent hisses its warnings which go ignored. this cat doesn't trust snakes. he doesn't trust anyone but the other cat who also found himself in this awful place.

he would rather deal with his own world than this one.

either way, konoe's exposure to the blood... how it stains his fur and his skin and he's almost compelled to lick it off; to groom himself continuously. only, after some time? he can't seem to move his body. it's not even like having another being residing inside of him. no, it's far more sinister. he can't move his arms or his legs. he can barely breathe. it's the fact he can't control himself that makes him want to panic, to scream and cry, but all he can do is shamble toward some destination...

after some time, he sees it. a lake. it's a lake. and konoe can't keep himself from trudging closer and closer, where he can feel a presence--- suffocating. his future fate? he doesn't know, but his feet are moving by themselves. )
nekonoe: (e)

[personal profile] nekonoe 2021-06-14 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I... I don't know.

( at first, he doesn't move. what rokurou's doing is enough to keep him from moving, but every part of his body continues to try to push forward. the feeling is like an itch that can't be scratched, and the corners of his eyes start to water from the frustration of not being able to continue on despite not wanting to. )

I can't stop myself. ( as he squeezes his eyes shut, he can feel the warmth starting to trickle down. the only thing he can't tell is that instead of normal tears sliding down his face, it's blood. his own? perhaps the blood of whatever has found its way inside of him? konoe doesn't know. )

P-please, you have to do something.

( because he's starting to push harder against rokurou's hand, his body nothing anything more than to force itself into the water that waits for more sacrifices. )
nekonoe: <user name="chamberry"> (l)

[personal profile] nekonoe 2021-07-08 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
( of course, it's not like konoe has the strength to fight back--- gasping in surprise as he's practically handled like a doll of sorts, which he is. it's not like the blood has suddenly made him stronger. no, it just controls what it has, and what it has is a somewhat average cat that certainly needs to be soaked to have any kind of weight... )

Whatever you have to do... just don't hurt me.

( because he's fragile? but also, it would probably be hard to explain to asato what's happening. he doesn't want to put the daemon in harm's way by putting a target on his back, even inadvertently. )

... you look familiar.

[ Despite their previous discussions, Eizen hadn't thought to ask Rokurou exactly where he was staying, which is how he's been forced to resort to this new method of communication.

There is something very not right with the room he's picked out, or so he assumes. This can't be normal. ]


Am I supposed to have some kind of "roommate" in this place?
I'm not talking about the uwabami.


[ There's something on his ceiling. ]

No.
It's a daemon, and it's really interested in the ceiling for some reason.
