You're cursed?

[ This whole place is weird and she doesn't always understand the rules, but... ]

I can bring you an item from the castle, it should cure you. Where are you?

[deathscyther]

[Hey! He kind of knows you? Not that he recognizes the hex code right off, but if they do meet face to face she'll be 'that one tall girl who was cleaning our house for some reason' not that long ago.

He never talked to Pyrrha at that time, but his roommate Kohaku did.]

that would be great this is suer inconvience

inconvinecent

... it sucks

[reapen]

[ Pyrrha suspects she's going to be "that tall girl who broke into people's houses to clean" for a long, long time... Well. It's better than being famous? Maybe?

Anyway, he didn't answer her most important question, so she tries again. ]

Where are you?

[deathscyther]

[Whoops.]

you'll be ok just calm down. can i come over?

[deathscyther]

[But he's so good at panicking!]

ill try no promises

yeah sure

text -> action

[lacrimose]

[Akira doesn't bring his bike this time, he just runs over... which is actually about as fast as his bike in an old fashioned town like this, plus it saves fuel. He's barely out of breath when he gets there, knocking loudly.]

Duo, it's me!

[deathscyther]

Yea-- shit.

[Something clatters on the other side of the door, followed by shuffling about until the door finally opens. Long sleeves cover both arms, but his right hand is very much gray and colorless.]

Hey...

[lacrimose]

Hey.

[Without asking, Akira takes his hand to look at it, although he's surprisingly gentle for someone who looks like... well, him. He's familiar with the unpleasant effects of losing colour, but it faded with time, and it definitely didn't come with the kinds of hallucinations Duo mentioned on his post.]

Maybe there's a way to fix this... You should stay with someone until we can figure it out.

[deathscyther]

[The hallucinations are absolutely the worst part. He could live with a numb hand for a while; it wouldn't be the first time he had to recover from a physical injury or the like. The people he's seeing, though...

Any other time he probably would have pouted and protested being watched over, but right now its all he can do to keep from screaming until his throat bleeds.]

I don't even know what happened. I can't remember anything from last week.

[lacrimose]

[Akira looks upset, though he at least manages to avoid crying -- for once. He lets go of his hand.]

Is there anything I can do to help?

[spiria]

Is that why I haven't seen you around for a few days?

... Have you found anything out yet? I'll help however I can.

[ Worries for sassy bi roomie. ]

[deathscyther]

[He is kind of a mess right now.]

someone is coming ver with a cure?

id just like use of my arm back pease

also seeing things isnt fun but its not the first time ive hallucinated

actually

could you do my hair for me?

[spiria]

[ Hallucinations? Oh, wow. That wasn't surprising, but it was worrying. ]

I can do that. I'll be over right away.

[ There's a bit of noise nearby as she moves from her room to his. As soon as she enters she can see the extent of the damage, and she has to pause for a moment with wide eyes. ]

I ... don't think that's something I can heal.

[ She's seen something similar with Rin before, but not to this degree. This looked pretty nightmarish. ]

[deathscyther]

[The ZERO system would make any drug look like child's play.

Duo makes a face, awkwardly tugging the sleeve of his shirt down over his colorless, numb arm.]

'sokay. Don't worry about that part.

[His hair was a mess and loose, a brush and tie on his end table obviously useless to him in this state.]

[spiria]

[ Right, she was here to help in ways she could help. His hair was something she could help with. She moves to grab the brush off of the table and begins to brush his hair. ]

I swear, you have more hair than I do ... That's an accomplishment of some sort.

[deathscyther]

I've been growing it since... actually I think I've always had it long. I can't ever remember it being short.

[He had no real reason for it outside of 'living on the streets' before he was taken in by the church.

After that, though...]

[spiria]

Have you ever considered cutting it?

[ It's not a recommendation, she's just curious. She continues to gently brush the knots and tangles out of his hair. ]
