[ it's another muggy, meandering day in the jungle; nothing seems to be out of the ordinary. ]

IN THE VILLAGE

[ if your character is near the center of the village, they'll bear witness to the curious sight of a herd of shuffling mushroom beasts. in terms of threat level, to the experienced hunter they may have ranked low on the scale: slow, lacking an external fang or claw, they seem to be interested only in their endless march forward.

but, if your character is close enough, they may catch sight of a red-haired young man, a manifesto of anger written across his face. one breathless moment, the calm before the storm, and then he hurls a metallic pair of gloves at the closest beast, the gloves trailing arcs of flame.

what may strike your character first is the searing heat, the thrum of the earth below their feet. the whole village is demolished in a moment, the dying cries of the beasts rising above the din. the explosion lasts much longer than it should, the line of mushrooms going up one after another.

if you're too close, you might be torn in two. you might lose a limb, or two, or three. you might go deaf, you might lose your sight. you might lose all your eyelashes, your clothes. maybe the bag of mushrooms you'd collected for dinner is now little more than ash.

keep running. the smoke trails into the air. someone is screaming. the smell of charred meat follows you even after you disappear into the jungle. ]


IN THE SURROUNDING JUNGLE

[ if your character is close enough to the village, they'll feel the blasts, one after the other. the jungle is on fire, quickly spreading. maybe you'll hear the screaming, too; maybe your lungs will fill with smoke. maybe you'll run into one of the last mushroom beasts, fleeing from the explosion only to trigger a lesser one in the depths of the jungle.

it came from the village, didn't it? maybe someone you love was swept up in the explosion.

if you manage to escape the stampede of terrified jungle beasts (some of which may stop to crunch you up as a quick meal as they dash away from the blast), maybe you can venture closer to see what's happened.

or maybe you should get as far away as possible. ]

[ Rinne had tried his hardest to get through the flames, to check and see if anyone he knew had been caught in the blast, and as such had flown quickly, wearing his haori. As used to dealing with those who had already died as Rinne was, he didn't want to see anyone die. Not like this.

On his way, he stopped when he caught a glance at the kid, holding a long sword-- one that he had seen previously. The child had his own sword, and it didn't take him that long to put two and two together here.

There was no hesitation. Rinne dove over, holding out his hand. ]


Are you two okay? Let me help...!

[There's someone he doesn't know calling out to him and holding out his hand. If this was any other situation, Sayo's wariness would prevent him from accepting it. But with his brother in his hands, and the pressing need to get him out of danger, made Sayo hold back his initial wariness.

He holds out his hand, trying to grasp Rinne's. He'll accept the aid out of necessity.
]

I'm okay. [No, he's not.] But I get away from this...!
popsometags: (this is impossible.....)

[personal profile] popsometags 2015-10-07 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ In doing so, he makes sure to get a closer look at that sword. No doubt about it... ]

That's... Samonji, right? [ The human body must have gotten caught in the blast. Rinne's eyes widened, but he shook himself out of it to help Sayo up, urging him to move further away from the flames. ]
reprizesal: (I don't understand that...)

[He looks at Rinne when he heard that name. His brother's smith and family name. Once he's on his feet and moving away from the fire, he holds Kousetsu closer to himself.]

Yes... You know my brother?
popsometags: (why not try food stamps?)

[personal profile] popsometags 2015-10-11 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Your brother... yes, I've met him a few times now. [ Twice, but he wasn't trying to count. The situation seemed grim, and now knowing that there was another blade related to Kousetsu, it made his stomach sink even worse.

Rinne's going to lead him as far away from the flames as possible, looking behind him every so often... just wondering about Kousetsu's other body. ]


Is he alright? Undamaged?
reprizesal: (I won't hate anyone)

[personal profile] reprizesal 2015-10-12 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
[They're getting further and further away from the flames. But the smell of something burning still hangs the air.]

Niisama's... he's damaged, but he's not broken.

[And that's what important to Sayo. He doesn't want the possibility of Kousetsu being broken and he can't see him again. Even if it's true that they won't stay dead, his brother suffered enough pain.]
popsometags: (m...maybe we should get married.)

[personal profile] popsometags 2015-10-13 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
......do you.... do you know anyone who can keep him safe for now? Rather, keep you both safe?

[ Rinne wants to offer, but he knows that for now, the main priority is making sure Kousetsu doesn't sustain further damage, as well as his younger brother. And given that he needs to find his own friends to make sure they're safe, Rinne can't guarantee he'd be the best candidate. ]
reprizesal: (Stare - ...)

[personal profile] reprizesal 2015-10-16 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Sayo shake his head.]

Master's not here... and I haven't seen my comrades in a while.

[His fellow swords. He can trust them to know how to take care of Kousetsu in this state.]
popsometags: (i won't let them get to her.)

[personal profile] popsometags 2015-10-18 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Rinne grimaces, looking towards the flame from where they are. Well. If there was any trouble, Arisato didn't seem like the type who would linger long enough to be in danger, and Ket was able to "shift", right? They had to be fine... ]

I'll stay with you two until we meet with one of your colleagues. I want to make sure you'll be okay.

[ It was his duty as a shinigami to keep spirits and living beings safe. He'd just have to make sure to reunite with his roommates later, after the flames had settled down and everyone was well and safe. ]
reprizesal: (Imma gonna stand dramatically here)

[personal profile] reprizesal 2015-10-24 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Staying with this guy. At this point, it looks like his best option, even if he doesn't want to stay with a stranger.]

Okay... and thank you, sir.

[He'll ask for his name later. If he's a good person, that would mean Sayo owe him a debt later.]
