THE END.

[saturations]

VAX

[saturations]

[do you persist?]

[daggering]

[ i mean, yeah.

what the fuck else does he have to lose, at this point?

he's armed, knife dagger in hand, and so vax will do his best stealthy creep forward. ]

[saturations]

[you go through the door that calls for you.

in the distance, you see a light. just one. it shakes and trembles, like it's having a hard time staying on. but it is there, and it is present.

you can see a table, under that light. and a body, laying on top of that table. tall. hooded.]

[daggering]

[ by now, he's wary. cautious, after that last room - after what he has to call an illusion, after seeing that happen to his sister practically burned into his eyes - but.

... he approaches slowly.

it's death. it's just death. it's a cut thread. people have reasons and times. (and it was not vex'ahlia's time. it is not her time.)

... he will approach with steady caution, and take another injury in his already wounded heart, checking to see if this body is breathing but otherwise just approaching. ]

[saturations]

[it is breathing. slowly, rhythmically.

it does not stir when he gets closer. but it is tall enough to hang off the side, the fingers twitching. smoke curled around the tips.]

[daggering]

[ ... well that's pretty much immediately going to put him on edge.

vax grips the knife tighter and steps up directly close to the living thing. he holds very still for a long moment, to see if it will move, or do anything further if he just stands there.

can he see into the hood without lifting it off? ]

YASUSADA

[saturations]

[do you persist?]

[aitou]

[Ah... his eyes hurt. Human bodies... human hearts... what a burden.

But they have to move forward. He has to. He's done this before--he can't be trapped by grief and longing for hundred of years all over again. Kashuu... Kashuu is still safe. Horikawa and Izuminokami are waiting. Their citadel is home, now. Aruji needs him.

If he could face Okita's death, then he can do this too. He goes in.]

[saturations]

[you go through the door that calls for you.

in the distance, you see a light. just one. it shakes and trembles, like it's having a hard time staying on. but it is there, and it is present.

you can see a table, under that light. and a body, laying on top of that table. tall, hooded.]

[aitou]

[No okay.

Once again, he misses the presence of his blade--he curls his fingers into his scarf as he moves forward, slow, cautious. He gets closer; does he recognize anything about it, or is it entirely covered?]

[saturations]

[it's hard to tell. the whole form is hooded, cloaked, from head to toe. but the body is sprawled out on the table, long enough that parts of it falls off the side. and - well, maybe he'd notice the fact that this body is wearing heels.]

[aitou]

[If it's heels, then they're probably heels he recognizes--and immediately, thoughtlessly, he's spurred into action, abandoning caution.]

Kiyomitsu--?!

[Reaching out--to take the hood off, to help the body sit up, anything really. He just needs his partner.]

ATSUSHI

[saturations]

[do you persist?]

[moonlightbeast]

[Atsushi is going to purposefully wait for everyone else to go first, to make sure everyone else is choosing this too. If anyone stays behind, then he will too.

But everyone else goes through their door, so he steadies himself and then goes through his own door too.]

[saturations]

[you go through the door that calls for you.

in the distance, you see a light. just one. it shakes and trembles, like it's having a hard time staying on. but it is there, and it is present.

you can see a table, under that light. and a body, laying on top of that table. small. hooded.]

[moonlightbeast]

[Is he going to have to do a fucking autopsy on Dazai?????

Wait no, Dazai is tall, this has to be Chuuya. Who Atsushi hasn't actually met, so.

Let's go over to that table yeah.]

[saturations]

[this is so rude to all the poor chuuyas in the mgcu.

anyway, you approach. the body is still. breathing, but slow. measured.]

[moonlightbeast]

[OH GOOD THEY'RE NOT DEAD

Atsushi will get closer then. Can he pull off the hood? He wants to see who this is.]

DAMIEN

[saturations]

[do you persist?]

[highrisk]

[ he hesitates for a very long time first.

but he persists. all you can do is keep going. ]

[saturations]

[you go through the door that calls for you.

in the distance, you see a light. just one. it shakes and trembles, like it's having a hard time staying on. but it is there, and it is present.

you can see a table, under that light. and a body, laying on top of that table. small. hooded.]

[highrisk]

[ UH OKAY, he's rushing over to the table. is the body breathing? is it strapped down? can he take the hood off?

he's in panic mode. ]

[saturations]

[well, he can try!

the body is breathing. it's not strapped down. and it does grab his wrist, when he tries for the hood. a little giggle comes from under the hood.]

[highrisk]

[ augh jesus christ!!! he's trying to pull away from being grabbed so he can back away. ]
