[OPEN] Phase 1
Characters: OPEN
Location: Death City
Rating: R
Time: January 31st
Description: Madness seeps into the city.
For once, the weather is good while malicious things brew within the city. It starts small, so small that no one notices -- a twitch here, a little boy who won't stop crying, the exasperated yelling of a woman at her husband.
By midday, the city is fast-approaching turmoil. Fights break out in the streets and small groups riot against every little thing. Dogs and cats attack their masters, and grudges and fears surface to pit people against each other. By evening, it's as if the entire city is being blanketed by madness -- but how? The barrier powered by Death the Kid is still in effect and the air in Death City is definitely clean.
ooc: Feel free to make your own threads. Please follow the format: [Character][Location/Time][Open/Close]
[Edit:] We've made two small changes to the times that the effects should start showing, from mid-morning to midday, and from afternoon to evening. It shouldn't affect the current threads or anyone's plans too much, but if you have concerns or questions, just contact us via email!

Feb 1st | After Sasuke's post | Outer Residential Quarter III
Neji keeps Lain close, holding onto her and doing everything in his power to reinforce her, to keep her from spinning out of control like Naruto is now. But he can't banish the unease with which he views the blonde, knowing better than to turn his vision away lest he catch them by surprise because he can't ignore the underlying suspicion that for whatever reason, Naruto's here for them]
Lain, let's disappear.
no subject
And Lain's not doing so well] I-- ... I...
[She squirms against Neji's hold, feeling the growing desire to get away] Shouldn't we try and--and help...? [The squirming increases some as she makes a more conscious effort to try and break from Neji's grip]
Let me go see him, please...!
no subject
Calm down, Lain. He's not our responsibility. You are mine however, and I refuse to lose you to this again.
no subject
naruto knows this fight. remembers it from what feels like a lifetime ago- but it's just so strong now, and he can't- he can't remember the words. the things yamato taichou had said, that seemed so important back then. the girl is only some distance off- not so far that he can't pursue them, and naruto runs on all fours across the rooftops, gaze fixed on her. it was too soon to leave. everything was ready, they had a job to do, and this person...
he was getting in the way.
naruto's mouth opens, but the sound that comes out is a mangled screech. he's beyond words now. beyond everything. ]
no subject
and he wasn't sure he would at this rate. he'd been closer than either of them expected; and Sasuke wasn't sure how he hadn't put it together before.
of course he'd be after Lain. look at the facts, look at who was left, look at how close they were.]
Move! [it's a shout, and though he knows Neji's smarter than to stay in the line of fire, the sound rips out of him anyway as he aims to intercept the blonde shinobi.]
no subject
Naruto is the Uchiha's responsibility. They're his partners. Our focus needs to be on ensuring your safety, since it appears he's after you, Lain.
[But while he'd like to aid in containing Naruto, he doesn't want to leave Lain, doesn't trust her to stay sane without him and to keep from trying to get in the way]
no subject
Then let me help him! [It was terrifying and shook Lain to her soul, jarring her mental hold on Evil and for a moment she flinches, curling into Neji again as she internally fought for control of her own body.]
If it's me he wants-- He won't hurt me, I know he won't!
no subject
the red of his gaze flickers, and his head follows their movement- lodges on the white of neji's eyes, even when the smell of her blood washes over her senses.
naruto's gaze whips around, returns to the uchiha before him, and his mouth opens. screech tearing through the air as his hands tear up the panels beneath him- body surging forward, barreling towards the boy with inhuman speed. ]
/slides in id e k I can delete this if it screws with the flow of the thread??
He's changing before he can think too much about it, consider the foolishness of such a haphazard, impromptu resonance, but panic about the possible consequences of not doing anything spurs him on and lends him the speed he needs to zip through the last couple of feet to Sasuke's hands.
Use the chain, Kurapika hears himself yelling, even as he scrambles to align their wavelengths.]
no subject
he's done this once or twice, and it's never a good resonation. weapons aren't supposed to, they're told, and if Sasuke was in any other state- hadn't trained with Roy and Naruto- it might never have worked. but his and Kurapika's souls... they were similar to begin with.
he hoists the chain around and throws his soul into Kurapika's, and only knows his Sharingan blinks to life because he can tell the difference.
it still startles him.
but not enough to lunge to meet Naruto's charge.]
no subject
he doesn't breathe because he isn't human. because he isn't naruto. because he doesn't need to. he has a meaning now- so much greater than before- so much sharper and clearer. if the fog has lifted or if he's simply welcomed the noise, he doesn't know, and now, it no longer matters.
he is purpose. pure and undiluted.
the flicker of metal registers somewhere- kurapika but it doesn't matter. because the boy ahead is still, so still-
one arm raises when the distance closes- fingers bent, a claw instead of a hand, meant to cut sasuke down at the knees. ]
no subject
He's stressed, so he can't soothe her as much as he'd like to, reserves of patience dissipated in the wake of a potential threat along with the disruption in Lain's own wavelength. Their resonance wavers dangerously, feeling like a thin thread stretched between them- fragile and breakable.
He covers her mouth with his, and speaks through the link that still remains, hoping to reach her]
Calm down, Lain. Naruto will be alright, but he isn't safe for you to be around right now. He came here after you. We need to leave.
no subject
But he and Sasuke understand each other well enough--perhaps more than anyone else, and he has no trouble willing the relevant parts of him to move in ways that matter for them right now, pulls the chain taut so there's just enough length to block swipes from a hand.
He doesn't want to have to turn his blades on the other blond, not if he can help it.]
Block block block BLOCK IT!
no subject
it's difficult for Sasuke to focus, both with the madness that makes his insides tremor and the quiet with which he reaches for Kurapika's soul with his own. but his training with Naruto had paid off, and Kurapika is nearly the closest person to him here-- so he does it.
he wraps himself in the bellchime that is Kurapika's wavelength and pulls the chain, doesn't only block but wraps it around Naruto's wrist and forces his weight down to shove the claw into the Earth.]
