USER: #A5211F - Bogeyman (Forward dated to the 26th)
(color)
The bogeyman that was hiding in town has finally been defeated, but it was at the cost of three lives. Dave, John and Dextera. I couldn't save them. I'm sorry.
Okuyasu and Asuka are badly injured, but are currently being treated for it. [He is too? He's bleeding all over his laptop, but it's fine.]
Dextera's body changed into something else, but the other two are still remaining. I think they both have family here, or something close. You can contact me and I'll tell you where they are, so you can arrange a burial or whatever you think is best.
I take full responsibility for this. There's still going to be a defense force meeting at the beginning of next month, so we can talk about it then. I know there could still be people missing from the werewolf thing, too, so keep your eyes open for them, alive or otherwise. If you have questions, I'll try to answer them.
That's all.
[Of course, after this, he'll be in his room at his laptop, so people are free to come bother him. He's covered in blood, most notably a stab wound straight through his chest at the heart, and it looks like he's only partially been able to deal with that. He's not bleeding out as quickly? But his healing isn't working. He's only just barely come back to consciousness from Mahiru taking over.]

[ ... ah. That was probably not a very empathetic thing to say, and definitely not all that Pleasant, but it slipped through his fingers before he could stop himself. And he doesn't mean it because of any of those guys, either.
Ah, well. Let's try this again: ]
You went along with this group to take on the boogeyman, correct? There's no way you were the sole person to come out unharmed.
no subject
Yeah, I'm not unharmed. But I've got a demon. It's not working well right now, but I'm used to this sort of thing. It wasn't worth mentioning.
no subject
You can't heal yourself, yet you claim that wasn't worth mentioning. Considering the outcome for those other three, can you not see how concerning that is?
no subject
[Maybe it's not directly responding, but it's cutting all the arguing he's too tired to keep up with and going straight to that. He could use help. If Akechi wants to see and worry and help, he can. He'll let him.]
no subject
And yet, as much Akechi has always pressed him over his resistance to accept help, as much as this is the chance he has always worked for, he can't help but hesitate at the offer-- not because of Guren, himself, but because of who else he shares a house with.
Shared. ]
Is there anything you need me to bring?
no subject
[Since he's in Ruga...]
no subject
[ You know, provided he doesn't get cold feet and all. ]
no subject
Yeah. I think I should be fine.
no subject
Very well. I will be over soon.
[ And, just like calculated, it only takes him a short while to gather everything Guren had asked and set off. There's a sense of dread growing with every step he takes, a weight setting down in the pit of his stomach, and it only gets worse when he finally sees... that door.
For an endless minute, he stands there, staring at the poorly patched up crack across the surface, and all the insults and secrets that it had spilled that day. Secrets that he'll never get to learn about, because the dead don't share.
Willing the memory away - and failing miserably at it - Akechi knocks once, twice, and waits for an answer. If no one comes in another minute or so, he's breaking in. ]
no subject
But here he is, and Guren's glad to see someone else, even if his pride is being damaged with every helping hand. He knows it doesn't matter in the face of death.]
Hey.
[He's shirtless and bleeding through his bandages a bit already, they're on his chest, at his side, and he's bruised up, too. He shouldn't be walking, but here he is!
He moves to walk inside, gesturing that Akechi can follow him as he moves to the closest seat— the stairs.]
no subject
... I was right.
[ It's not much in the way of a proper greeting, but considering the current state of affairs, even Akechi figures there's no need for excessive formality right now. ]
If you had told me that was the condition you were in, I could have found another way in. [ Closing the door behind them, he follows Guren inside, though he remains standing. ] It really doesn't look as though you should be getting up at all...
no subject
[He has to keep moving, to push himself, to be this stubborn, or he'll just. Lose it. Probably. That's his explanation, sighing as he runs his hand through his hair.]
Akira is still missing, too.
no subject
... I know. [ It's all he can bring himself to say at first, voice low and hesitant. ] Kurusu-kun has always had a penchant for finding trouble, but... I fear this time he might not have escaped it.
no subject
[He's mentally scolding himself. He wasn't paying enough attention.]
no subject
A few days ago, I believe. While the werewolves were still out.
[ While Akira himself was one of them. ]
Knowing him, he was mostly likely trying to help out everyone else in the town, and neglecting his own safety. He never did listen to me.
[ And maybe, there's just a hint of bitterness in his voice. If Akira had ever listened to his warnings, this could have been avoided-- and maybe so much more, even outside of this town, but... ]
no subject
At the same time, though, he's bandaged and wounded so heavily himself, his head feels light and it's harder to focus. He's struggling, trying to think on Akira.]
So you were telling him to go back? What about you? Was everything okay, or were you hurt?
no subject
[ It's a vague answer, but at least it's not a lie. Akechi had tried calling out to him, tried to make him remember his humanity, but Akira was more beast than man, far too gone to listen to his plea. He never listened, until it was too late.
He doesn't want to dwell on the topic of Akira for too long, though, so he'll gladly jump on that chance to talk about something else. ]
As for myself, I had quite a few run-ins with the enemy, but I managed to stay safe. Lupin-san, however, was turned into one of them. He asked me to tie him up in the basement, and after that I was on guard duty.
