cw: bugs I guess

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-10-08 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Hell if I know!

[ In a way, the bugs were kind of beautiful, in the way that a scarab was beautiful as long as you didn't turn it over and see the horrible too-many legs underneath, wriggling and... gah. He was freaking himself out. ]

I ain't pack any bug spray, either!

[ God, all these inventory slots and he'd forgotten the most important thing for hiking in the woods. He drew his dagger as they ran, swiping at a few bugs that strayed too close. Strangely enough, they seemed to stray away from either the heat or flame generated by the blade, and one that had flown too close burned up once in contact with the dagger itself. ]

It's from back home -- had it forever!

[ Majima waved away more of the bugs as they ran; at least they'd thinned out the impromptu swarm! Now the remnants, perhaps either because of autumn sluggishness or the livelier-than-usual efforts of their prey, seemed to be wavering in their pursuit. ]

Only since I been here, it's changed. Never used to set things on fire.

[ Don't get him wrong, though! He enjoyed the change. ]

You gettin' some good photos?
justbeingknife: (alert)

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-10-09 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ So Majima began to slow to a stop, looking back over his shoulder to make doubly sure the bugs had given up on them. ]

Ya okay? Didn't get stung or anythin'?

[ This expedition was off to a GREAT START, that was for sure. At least the woods and trail in front of them were quiet, aside from the occasional birdsong. ]
justbeingknife: (attention)

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-10-09 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Majima shook his head as he caught his breath. Human-shaped enemies were way easier to deal with. ]

Here's hopin'. But check it out -- we're a lot closer. And do you hear somethin'?

[ Before, he'd only been listening to the pounding in his ears and the whirring of insect wings, but now it sounded like some kind of humming in the background. ]

I don't remember that sound from before.
justbeingknife: (what was that?)

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-10-11 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ At what cost, indeed. Yet the further they traveled along the trail, the the more convinced he became it was the same humming over and over, repeated. ]

We should've come across one of them staircases by now. They're impossible to miss.

[ Ah, but up ahead was a break in the trees. ]

That's the mountain, but...

[ Didn't it seem different, somehow? If one looked at it long enough, didn't it resemble a strange, curled-up figure? ]

That's the same thing I saw back durin' the carriage rides.

[ How rude, calling it a thing!! Although Majima was a little at a loss as to what to call the being. ]

But it's different now. And what the hell are those legs?

[ Those strange, unearthly legs digging into the being's head looked like they were grasping, trying to keep hold. It looked like there was a layer of rock binding the figure in place, too. ]
justbeingknife: (what the hell)

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-10-12 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
It's worth a try. Worst comes to worst, we can run for it.

[ Was that humming coming from the giant being? From the legs? Somewhere else? He continued forward, a bit more cautiously now. ]

Maybe it is Sodder. It stepped in when all those beasts were attackin' us.
justbeingknife: (looking up)

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-10-14 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He shook his head. ]

I don't know. One of those 'tests'? Or maybe she was dragged in, but then turned into part of the dream.

[ Maybe that shady Mother Superior was involved; she didn't seem above sketchy experiments with bits of living people.

From up ahead somewhere in the trees came the sound of quiet weeping. ]
justbeingknife: (what the hell)

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-10-15 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It sounds like someone cryin'.

[ Or something. Spoiler alert, though: Majima hated crying. Which was why he started cautiously toward the sound, which was further down the trail. There was the rustling of feet through the fallen leaves, moving slowly toward them.

"Please..." came a piteous voice from somewhere up ahead. ]
justbeingknife: (blerg)

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-10-16 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ "Please, I beg of you!" it cried, clicking as it made its way towards them.

It was missing almost all of its limbs, save for a single leg; it smelled like cat pee. Worst of all, there seemed to be some kind of infestation in its torso. This was literally the sketchiest monster Majima had ever seen. He didn't move forward, but he didn't yet step back, either. ]


You what now? Who are ya?

[ Monsters typically didn't talk to Majima, or at least they hadn't so far. Was this actually a person somehow? Maybe transformed?

"Hold me," it said instead of answering, twisting its face up to look at them. Well. It could all just be a giant trap. ]
justbeingknife: (what was that?)

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-10-17 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Wow, this seemed like a terrible idea but let's not pretend Majima was immune to terrible ideas. He turned back to Yuri. ]

Ya sure? I bet I heal faster than you.

[ "It's been so loooong...." said the creature, sounding... actually, that was a little suspicious. Hopefully it wasn't a clinger. With its... leg. Possibly teeth. ]
justbeingknife: (observe)

[personal profile] justbeingknife 2018-10-18 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Uh. D'you feel any different?

[ "Cheese!" said the bird, flapping its wings once or twice. Sure, he'd heard that ravens could talk, but he'd never heard a bird speak so clearly. Although... maybe not all that usefully. ]

Ya look about the same.

[ He fished a handkerchief out of his suit pocket and offered it to her. ]
