saving you because lbr you stink at noticing things

WHO: Sougo and Celica
WHAT: Eviction event
WHEN: April 5th, just as the dorms are being engulfed
WHERE: The dorms
WARNINGS: Possible violence, otherwise I dunno.
SUMMARY: Sougo tries to escape from the shadow trying to engulf the dorms, but then realizes a certain other person might not realize what's going on.

[What in the world is going on outside. Not that Sougo really cared for anything that was happening around the school, but that NPC post sure as hell did make him think about the outcomes. Man, and just as he was getting his strive for this place as well...

But he knows that shadow enveloping the dorms is bad news in the first place. So, what is his first course of action? Jumping out of his own dorm room window of course. He doesn't want to be around for when this place goes to hell, and nor does he want to see people running out of the doors, getting cramped up against one another. With a small sigh, he readies himself for impact as he dives out of it, glass flying everywhere, himself suspended before he finally hits the ground, rolling on it and making sure everything on him is completely fine. Nothing broken...he's done this thousands of times so it shouldn't be any different. With a small sigh, he gets to his feet, dusting himself off of any glass that might have caught on him.]

What a pain. Here I thought I was going to have a nice day to myself. Looks like God has something against all of us. [He muses, tilting his head as he heads away from the school as a thought strikes him. A thought that shouldn't come to him in the first place. He's probably going to regret doing his in the first place, but...

With a shrug, he begins to head over to the girl's dorm, and sure enough, the same thing seems to be happening. This really isn't going to go well for him is it. Whatever the case is, he just strolls on into the dorm itself, before he lets out a loud call.]

OIIIIIII, AKA-CHAAAAAAAAN! I'M GOING TO HOLD YOUR VIRGINITY HOSTAGE IF YOU DON'T COME OUT IMMEDIATELY! OOOOOOOOI!!

W-well, I suppose you're right...

[She supposes. But that clearly didn't happen yet this time around, so they were safe to do it now. And once she's done, she stands back up, following Sougo along once more -- this time without any complaints, seeing as how he's finally not stumbling anymore.]

I mean, I wouldn't consider myself a witch... But no, I can't use any other magic. My sis can use all kinds of it, like fire or even lightning magic. But for me it's just healing! Eheh... Which isn't all that helpful here, now is it?

[Her tone may get a little meek toward the end -- just a bit. It helped for once just moments ago, at least.]

Of course I am, I've experienced a lot of things. It's funny how a battle like that can take a life as easily, though.

[He sighs. It'd be a lot better if he was alive, at least his world makes a lot more sense then whatever life he's living right now, at least. In any case, he lets out a yawn once they're out of that infernal shadow area.]

So you're basically an inferior version of your sister, in both shape, and in practice? [That came out way harsher than intended, but.] I suppose your healing comes in handy when most needed. Who knows, you could heal up a wound that punctured someone's joystick.

...still, I suppose I should thank you for that.

--Ah... I'm sorry, Sougo.

[Is pretty much all she can say. She's curious now as to whether or not that's how Sougo died to begin with, but that's probably not appropriate to ask.

Even if he is saying inappropriate things himself. Excuse you.]

H-hey! Our abilities may matter, but I don't think it's fair to compare our shapes! Size doesn't matter, anyway. [HMPH. HMPH HMPH hmph. Also the joystick comment flies over her head as per usual, but--]

But yes, it is helpful otherwise... Just not so much here. But I'm glad it was able to help you this time, at least. Just don't ignore it next time though, okay? If you're hurt that badly, I want to help you.

It's fine. That's just how life is. We all live and die. Some more painful then others.

[Okay, enough of that. Either way, that comment of his made her riled up, which at least fulfills that sick dark hole he has called a heart.]

Of course size matters. Have you ever seen a man go after a flat-chested woman before? If I were to grab your breasts, I'm sure the whole hand wouldn't cup around. [So he says, actually stopping and leaning forward to inspect them.] ...ah, maybe yours, though. Hm...

But if you want to help me when I'm badly injured, you can. There's no stopping you, after all. [Not like he'd care in the first place, actually.]

H-hey! Don't go staring at them! [Or... grabbing them, but that should be a given, anyway.] And if someone only cares about chest size, then that's being shallow, anyway.

[--Wait, maybe hers what...?! Are hers decent then-- wait, no, this doesn't matter.]

But okay, I'll definitely help you then. I can't fight or anything, but... I can at least do that much.

I'm sorry to anyone you'd meet who would say that in the first place. For me, personality is all that matters. [Yeah, so you can turn them into some sadistic people later.] I'm sure you've roped in some men with that personality of yours, so you don't have to worry about your proportions. That sweet, motherly personality of yours...I'm sure someone takes joy in it.

[That's a compliment, right?! Well, whatever.]

If you can't fight, then that's fine. Leave the fighting to those with the ability to. It'd be better if I had my sword with me, but for the time being, I guess you're stuck with me. [Not that he wants to be, but.]

[--Oh. Those are actual words coming out of actual Sougo's actual mouth.]

Well... I don't mind being stuck with you! You are a friend, after all. And I wouldn't let you walk off on your own, anyway. I'm not sure how long we're going to have to stay away from the dorms for, but for the time being, I want to make sure you stay safe.

[And then, going back to what he was saying...] You know though... You really can be very kind, Sougo. Does that all mean you take joy in it? Huh? Huh?

[Mostly just trying to mess with him at the end, of course.]

[He goofed didn't he. He said something nice without it meaning to sound nice at all. How in the world is he going to get out of this one-though there is a hint of a faint blush on his face as he turns his head away.]

Shut up! As if I'd take joy in someone like you. Besides, I'm sadistic, isn't that a turn off? How can someone like that be kind. I thought you were a lot smarter then that, Aka-chan.

[A small "tch" as he begins to progress further into the woods.]

I should have left you in there to die. Or whatever fate had in store for you. [Too bad it would have left a bad taste in his mouth.]

[There he goes, going back to doing his thing...]

Ah... That hurts just a little bit, you know. But that's not true. I know several people who come off as rather harsh, but they're good people after all. And you did come back to get me apparently, so... that makes you a good person too.

[And of course, there she goes, just continuing to follow him as per usual.]

--Oh, and I haven't thanked you for that either, so... Thank you.

Edited 2014-04-06 07:35 (UTC)

[Okay, this is way too much for him. The red on his face grows to the point where he literally has to bury his face in Celica's shoulder to hide it.]

Shutupshutupshutupshutup! How the hell would you know that makes me a good person, who made you the appointee of good people...!? Tch, it...it...!

[And the thank, as well. That practically shut him up, as there's just muffled screams coming out of him at this point.]

[Sougo please. Celica can't help but giggle at his reaction, even going as far as to raise a hand to pat his head lightly.]

Oooh, I'm sorry! I forgot you don't really like me saying those things, do you? But it is true, you know! I'm sure I would have been toast had you not gotten me, ahah...

[So she reaaally does appreciate it a lot, along with his words.]

[He's not even sure what to say to her. He's never gotten praise to this extent, so he's not even sure how to react to this. But one thing is for sure...]

Tch, how the hell can you be so nice to me in the first place...I don't understand it. How can you say these things without fearing the consequences? For all you know, I could have gutted you for your words...!

[At this point, though, he's going to grab her hand to stop it from petting his head.]

Why the hell are you giving me these compliments...why...!?

Huh? Why wouldn't I say those things? I'm just telling you the truth and what I think, is all.

[She's usually not one to keep thoughts to herself -- especially if they're positive ones about other people. If someone's doing something kind or good, they should know it! It's as simple as that.]

[Well he'd rather not here the truth in this case. For now, though, he's just falling on the ground, curling himself up into a fetal position.]

Go on. Just leave me to die here, then. If I were to here the truth come out of your mouth, that'd be emotional torture. Please, let me die.

[I-- what is he doing! Just laying on the ground like that suddenly... Celica immediately reaches down, grabbing his hands in an attempt to pull him back up.]

I'm not going to leave you here. Now, come on. Let's go find somewhere more safe before we start laying around, okay?

[She will literally start dragging him if she has to okay--]

[Nope. It's no use. He's just going to let her drag him along as the look on his face shows all loss of hope for him.]

No, it's fine. It's fine if we stay here, it's better for us to be dead. I'd rather die once more than to hear you babble on about how I'm nice. Yes, that seems nice.

[Look at his feet making drag marks in the ground, wowie.]

How can you say it? I don't get it. How did I give off such an impression to you? I should've made you succumb to me when I had the chance.

[Wow fine...! She will just keep dragging him then.]

We wouldn't just die, you know. We'd become NPCs, and that's... [...not something she wants. At all. Or wants any of her friends to experience either, considering how she herself became one a while back when trying to save Yosuke.]

I-I'm... not going to let that happen, okay! And of course I'd say something like that after you said such kind things to me and even rescued me.

I'd rather be destined to a fate of being an NPC then. Though I'm not sure if I'd quite enjoy it...it's better than listening to you. [He lets out a sigh, figuring that this dragging thing is ruining his pants but...]

How did you become this way, anyways. How did you become the way you are, Aka-chan? There has to be some reason for it.

[he's actually curious about this himself, okay.]

Being NPC isn't nice at all, actually...

[Sougo please-- But then she pauses, a little confused by his question.]

What do you mean?

[She's... the way she is because that's the way she is?!]

[He'll drop the NPC thing for the time being, rubbing the back of his head with what free hands he has.]

I'm asking why are you the way you are. How did you grow up like that? There has to be a reason. Who shaped you into the person you are? Or what did?

[He'd share his reason later, but he's still curious.]

Oh, um... [...How is she supposed to answer something like that--]

Hm... I don't know? That's just the way I am, I guess. My sister is very different than me, for starters. And my mother died from an illness when I was young. As for my father, he was always busy in his lab, and was even declared missing a while ago, ahah... So I don't think any of them could have influenced me in particular. But maybe that's why my family and friends are so important to me.

[Does that answer his question?]

[So that answers it, huh. He wasn't expecting something like that, but...]

So you didn't have that much of a family, either... [he sighs, actually stopping her from dragging him any further so he can get up on his own two feet.] That's surprising, I thought you would have had one. What happened to your own sister, though? Were you with her the whole time when you grew up...?

[A tilt of his head now.]

[She nods, watching him stand back up.]

I wouldn't say that, really. I still have them! Just... they weren't really around, eheh... But yes, I've always been with my sister. We even went to school together. Though I left in the middle of it to search for my father, so I haven't seen her since.

[A beat.] ...Or well, as far as I remember, anyway. My memories are still a little hazy from coming here.

[...huh. He heard something similar to that before, but now that he thinks about it...]

Tell me about your sister then, and how she was different then you. I'm honestly not convinced that some of her traits didn't rub off on you somehow.

[Sougo, none of Mitsuba's traits rubbed off on you at all!!] But if your memory is a bit hazy, then I don't know if I can fully judge you based on memory lapses.

It's just that I don't remember things after a certain point in time. I can recall some things, but most things after that time I'm unsure about.

[The last thing she remembers is Ragna getting kicked in the face by someone-- ahem.]

But, um... Like I said, she can use all kinds of magic that I can't. Strong, kind, and cool... That's her! And she's waaaay more stylish than I am. She doesn't like our father much at all though, and sometimes she worries just a liiiittle bit too much over me and our friend Trinity.
