[OPEN]

Characters: OPEN
Location: Death City Clinic
Rating: ?
Time: February 5 onward
Description: Event links list.


There's a grim silence in the clinic, broken only by the complaints of some patient that is still there or the adjustments the medical staff makes on the numerous stretches, supplies, and furnishings prepared for today's mission.

A handful of guards are stationed outside, both to function as runners and to keep an eye on the mirror in case something less welcome than their agents coming home appears. Some of them are Australian, the promised agents from the Oceania branch from Deathscythe Mjolnir.

Surgery. There was something he was glad he didn't need, or he'd be pleading with her to cause a distraction while he climbs out the damn window in these ridiculous gowns.

That train of thought had him recall that he was getting pretty uncomfortable in the things. Kanji drew in a breath and turned his head away.

"Y-yeah... sounds like a plan. Maybe they finished washin' my clothes, at least." His pants. He just wanted to wear pants.

They probably wouldn't be talking right now if that was truly the case.

Naoto looked back at him, confused, but then nodded. Right, he didn't have pants on. He was still covered up; there was no need to be embarrassed.

"Anyway, would you prefer coffee or tea?" She's still going to make that run to get hot drinks.
topgun_textiles: (...buh?)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2012-04-12 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Th-there was plenty to be embarrassed about when he's sitting in the same room as Naoto Shirogane in such a condition! It was bad enough he was in a clinic bed...

"...Uh, coffee," he replied, trying his hardest to shoo away those thoughts. With all the blood rushing to his face, at least he didn't have to worry about being cold outwardly.

That was a plus, right?
pishirogane: (Eighth Member)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2012-04-12 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
"Very well..."

Though, she had to pause when she notice the color climbing to his face again. Perhaps she should get a thermometer too... Either way, she nodded and walked over to the door. "I'll be back in a moment."
topgun_textiles: [Hi. Please ask me before you take the icons I made. Common sense, right?] (Staredown)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2012-04-12 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
"A'right."

Well, he couldn't go anywhere, so he'd be right here. While she was out, he would try not to rouse the sleeping kitten while he helped himself to giving the small fuzzball a hug.

Nobody was looking, right...?

[personal profile] pishirogane 2012-04-12 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
No one was looking at all... except for maybe Naoto who's quietly peering in. It turned out the coffee dispenser wasn't that far from the room.
topgun_textiles: [Hi. Please ask me before you take the icons I made. Common sense, right?] ([Yosuke] Yeah well whatever)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2012-04-13 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Silly, rowdy, fussy cat... he missed you, too. He turned his head to rub a cheek atop the kitten's dozing head when he noticed he was being watched.

Kanji stopped dead, then sat up immediately and turned his head away. The silver of his piercings seemed to gleam as they stood out against just how red his ears got.
pishirogane: (Ahem...)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2012-04-13 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Naoto watched Kanji turn away with some confusion. Perhaps he didn't enjoy being observed showing affection... then again, she wouldn't enjoy that either.

She entered slowly, setting the steaming drink on Kanji's bed table.

"I got tea instead. My apologies, but it was foolish I ask what to get since coffee can worsen your dehydration."
topgun_textiles: (urk--)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2012-04-15 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
"I-it can?" Oh. Well, that explained why he always kinda wanted water a while after.

"Tea's fine, then. Thanks." He nodded, and with a low, quiet breath to steady himself he turned his eyes back.

Ugh, he must have looked dumb. He lived by himself, and was so used to spoiling the little cat with affection now and again. He formed a little nest with the blanket atop his lap, and slowly deposited Iza into the middle. Either the kitten was a heavy sleeper, or Kanji was just that good.
pishirogane: (Ahem...)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2012-04-15 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
She nodded before pausing. At his word of gratitude, she nodded again, "You're welcome."

She didn't find it odd, but somewhat endearing. It was just Kanji showing his affectionate ownership of Iza... even if it was a somewhat bizarre way. "... She must be happy to have you back."
topgun_textiles: (Feeling moody)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2012-04-16 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
He reached for the cup and let the thing warm his hands a while.

"Y'can't tell with cats. Dunno if she's happy to see me or her giver of food." Kanji shook his head. He liked to believe the cat actually missed him, despite the well-known independence of felines.

"Me? ...I'm glad to be back. Think I've had my fill of sittin' in a cold, dark cave to last me a lifetime."

He lifted the cup then, and drank. Shivered a bit at the feeling of a warmed-up core without realizing.

"First the Black Blood, now this. Damn it... here I was tryin' to be less of a pain in the ass."
pishirogane: Art by: Moonku (Contemplating)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2012-04-16 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, cats were tricky animals. Still, she shrugged and then nodded in response to his cave situation.

"This wasn't exactly your fault. You have enough time to rest since I doubt the Witches will try another invasion with their numbers the way they are now." Unless they brought a Kishin with them; then it would be trouble.
topgun_textiles: (Grumpy Emperor)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2012-04-17 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
The Black Blood he could understand... the Witches blindsided everyone in the city in an almost perfect way. But not this. It was bad enough that he was snatched up before he could find Tifa, worse that Megumi also got grabbed in the process.

With a quiet sigh, however, he silently noted that it was dumb to beat himself up for it by any measure. It was over now, anyway.

"So what happened? The numbers were still pretty hefty when the bird grabbed me."
pishirogane: (Ahem...)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2012-04-17 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
"The casualties has yet been reported since the town is being cleaned up and the recent rescue... After you were taken though, more were captured. It ended as suddenly as it began."

They were fortunate that they were able to locate the Witches and those kidnapped quickly.
topgun_textiles: (...buh?)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2012-04-19 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
"Just like that? ...Kind of a lotta trouble just for some test subjects n' kishin egg food, ain't it?"

They liked to cause damage wherever they could, that he knew... but was that the whole reason they tainted the water, then decided to come in with a makeshift army?
pishirogane: Art by: Moonku (Contemplating)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2012-04-19 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
"I doubt that was the only reason for the invasion."

They could attempt that any other day. "Still, we'll have to wait until more details are released or inquire about them on a later date."
topgun_textiles: (Feeling moody)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2012-04-19 12:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"Good, so it ain't just me."

However, he gave a sound of acknowledgement. Part of why there weren't any details about the invasion had to have been due to the planning and execution of the rescue mission.

Iza mewed from his lap, paws twitching in a dream. He gently ruffled the fur on her chest.

"I overheard two of the nurses earlier... somethin' about a Witch livin' in the city." He wasn't sure whether it was true or not - rumors and gossip were usually just rumors and gossip as far as he was concerned - but that'd be plenty of motivation for the invasion, wouldn't it?
pishirogane: (The final card)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2012-04-19 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
That would be correct. They had to take some time to regroup and reorganize before launching the mission. The only report they had received during that time had been who was possibly kidnapped.

Naoto briefly glanced back at Iza when she mewed, but then looked back up at Kanji. She closed her eyes and nodded.

"She has been in Death City for a while, being held prisoner by Shibusen. It was because of her we went to Europe to destroy those machines. I believe she came with us on the rescue mission..."
topgun_textiles: ([Shades] Wary)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2012-04-20 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Kanji scratched his head at that. Having a Witch on their side was valuable, but something about all of that didn't really add up.

"What about that 'Sway of Magic'? That's what makes 'em do what they do, right?"
pishirogane: (CSI)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2012-04-20 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's been mentioned here and there. Sway of Magic is said to be a naturally destructive instinct in a Witch. Of course, it only applies to Witches who have developed destructive magic apparently. I haven't had the chance to read or ask more about it."

She was considering speaking to Stein or Azusa.

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2012-04-21 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Were he the type, he'd consider hitting up the library to see what he can find about it... but save for the occasional (disastrous) study session with Souji, he needed to be dragged there.

For now, he had one last drink before setting the mug on the table, then leaned back against the pillows with a light groan, eyes closed. He idly rubbed a side.

"This place is so damn confusing..." How did she put up with all this?!
pishirogane: (Perhaps you could explain)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2012-04-21 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
"It is, but it was the same with television world and shadows, was it not?"

They had cast speculations around time after time, trying to understand exactly what the other world was, but they eventually comprehended it.

"It takes time."
topgun_textiles: [Hi. Please ask me before you take the icons I made. Common sense, right?] (Default)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2012-04-23 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah... you're right." Didn't make that any less confusing at the time, though. It was Souji who made the first guess at Adachi's true motives, but it was Naoto who sealed it. He wasn't surprised she could put up with it, now that he really thought about it.

"'s the waiting that gets to me, though. Hate sittin' on my hands."

Kanji rubbed a hand over his face as he yawned. Now that his stomach wasn't doing too many loop-de-loops and his mind wasn't going over when a patrol would arrive to throw another person in the pit, he hadn't realized just how much the ordeal had exhausted him.
pishirogane: (Vivid blue)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2012-04-23 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes. I'm aware of that."

Naoto paused as he yawned, figuring that may be her actual signal to leave. Iza looked content, but Naoto would have to take the small kitten home for now. "We'll leave you to get some rest for now and come back tomorrow before they check you out."
topgun_textiles: (How should I put it...)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2012-04-25 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
His eyes finally opened, looking back at her. He wanted her to stay.

He wracked his brain as he tried to come up with something, anything to say that would not sound like he was too desperate for company in this creepy place, but all he got back was how tired he was, noting with mild frustration that the edges of his vision were becoming gray. He had helped fight off that kishin egg, too...

Kanji sighed quietly, and carefully sat up. He gently scooped up the snoozing kitten. Tiny legs and large paws were limp, twitching now and then in dreamtime as he lifted her off of his lap with intent to pass her over.

"She ain't gonna wake up easily. Gettin' her home'll be a cinch."

He hesitated. She'd... she'd do that?

"...Uh, th-that'd be cool!" He'll probably be a little grouchy tomorrow. Kanji wasn't much of a morning person.
