action and text; @bacura

[It's late on the seventh when Masaomi wakes up on a church pew. At first, he can't bring himself to do anything other than stare at his hands. Slowly he raises them above his head, takes in the palms, flips them over, hesitantly touches the backs, slides his fingers down his own arms.

He's whole.

Suddenly, he digs his nails in. It hurts, and he pulls back, leaving harsh red marks. Masaomi sits up then, still staring like he can't believe his own senses.

He's not crying. You're crying.]



[It's not until the eighth that he sends out another text. No ominous snapshots this time.]

Didn't cut it as a carny.

Listen, this is important, that thing is clearly dangerous and we don't want it hurting anyone else, right?

[A small groan; the sound of him sitting back, rolling his neck and giving himself a silent moment to curse whatever Gods may be for this whole situation.]

Stopping it doesn't mean I intend to fight it, you know. Maybe we can reroute it. Maybe if we know more we can, at the very least, safely track it so we always know where it is.

So...If you change your mind, contact me, okay?

My thing is "lonk".

[Goddammit.]

They didn't? Then how---

[A sigh.]

Never mind.

Like I said, if you ever feel up to it, talk to me. Doesn't have to be right now.
sublimebeast: (All is well)

Oh, you will?

[He goes silent for a brief moment before he can let out the small, amused laugh he feels growing in his chest.]

...I won't go after it.

[Although if he feels he has to protect someone in danger he has every intention of rushing the parade.

It may not be wise but he has to fight. It's the only way he can make sense of himself being here.]
