08: Spiral's End

[broclone.livejournal.com]

At least it's all over now, right?

Right. And I'm supposed to be smiling since everything's been solved already. I won.

Why do I feel like crying?

[You might just hear someone punching your front door, or something to that effect. If you check outside, there will be one (1) Ayumu looking very downcast, about to cry. Stuff like that.]

When did it start raining?

[ooc; Ayumu has been canon-updated to the end of the manga's main story! Just right before the epilogue. Nothing important has changed, but he's... going be really emo for now but will cheer up sooner or later. Most likely later.]

[This face.] ... N-not while you're still sad. [God then we may be out in the rain until our skin gets so waterlogged it falls off.]

[broclone.livejournal.com]

I'm fine.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[This face is doubting you.]

[broclone.livejournal.com]

I'm not forcing you to believe me, but I'm telling you, I'm fine.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

... [Letting go of your sleeve, then.]

[broclone.livejournal.com]

I'm thankful for your concern, though.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Lot of good it did you, considering you're still standing here in the rain. ...Rain...] ...

[Guess what Ayumu, we're picking up the leaf and shaking if off and holding it out to you. Take it, goddammit.] I-if you won't go inside, at least keep this.

[broclone.livejournal.com]

... But that's yours.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[ADAMANT HEADSHAKE. Pushes it at you some more.] Y-yours now.

[broclone.livejournal.com]

[FINE. TAKES THE GODDAMN LEAF]

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[GOOD. AND YOU'D BETTER KEEP IT, TOO. ...maybe kind of smiling a little.] ...y-you know where the blimp is, right?

[broclone.livejournal.com]

I know where it is.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

I-if you need something... M-Maka's better at that than I am. [Which is our way of saying COME OVER IF YOU NEED HELP OKAY. And we're maybe kind of shuffling backwards a few steps because you told us to go.]

[broclone.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'll do that. [nodnod]

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[orz we don't want to leave, but you told us to and we don't want to be a pest and orz. We'll come back out later and find you again.] ...t-the leaf is yours now, okay? Take good care of it.

[broclone.livejournal.com]

I will, don't worry.

[are you gone? are you gone now? are you gone now? what about now? now?]

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Yes, yes we're gone. ...or at least out of your line of sight, but we're probably not going back to the blimp yet ffff.]

[broclone.livejournal.com]

[gonna go look for you because jeez you can't walk in the rain or else you'll get sick]

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[What-- why would you-- WHAT HAPPENED TO NOT HAVING FRIENDS, AYUMU GODDAMMIT. We're wandering somewhere over here that is... nowhere near the blimp, then.]

[broclone.livejournal.com]

[SHUT UP CRONA, DON'T YOU KNOW I'M TSUN TSUN ABOUT THESE THINGS]

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[YOU'RE WEIRD IS WHAT YOU ARE. We're gonna... stop sort of abruptly in a really random place and just stand there, staring off into space like the freak of nature we are. Why are you still following us.]

[broclone.livejournal.com]

[because I need to give you your leaf back okay goddamn it. more looking.]

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[It's your leaf now, didn't I tell you that? Gosh. Listen when other people are talking. Eventually wandering over to a tree or something and sitting under it, just... kind of hangin' out. Icon... is really not very appropriate but I don't feel like finishing the one that is.]

[broclone.livejournal.com]

[aaaand holding the leaf over your head now!]

Found you.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Had closed our eyes over so only dully registered the rain had stopped before you said something, at... which point we nearly jump right out of our skin.] Wh-- N-N-Na... Y-you scared me...
