[Akechi isn't perturbed by the chain - Robin Hood is an ethereal extension of his soul. When it moves to wrap around the entity-

It vanishes. Disintegrates into sparkling light with Akechi's thought alone.

Oh, there it goes - how unfortunate. You'll have to be quicker next time.

cw: description of a horror movie

[personal profile] enteloki 2024-08-14 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
This reminds me of a movie I saw once.

[Chipper and bright as he eyes the drastic dip in the energy levels from that single button push. Venat's apt and quick response is reliable - now it's down to resource management, which-

Sucks.

Oh well. He continues on - hand gently pressing against his own door button when rapid footsteps start bolting down the hall. An image he barely catches in the security camera. Issue avoided.
]

It was about a haunted convenience store and it warped the people involved in it. Those who shopped there suffered horrific deaths. Everything from being bludgeoned, stabbed, suffocated and more. It turns out the reason everyone was going through such an experience was because the store owner mistreated a contractor.

[Creature gone from his side and cameras clear, he reopens the door.]

The contractor, in his rage, broke tombstones and used it in the store's foundation. Some employees are condemned to haunt the store and continue the vicious cycle for all eternity.

[It's FUN.]

I wonder if that's going to be us. Wouldn't that be interesting?

Of course, that's all normal. Expected. But that doesn't mean it isn't any concern.

Unfortunately, you're going to have to deal with me insisting on that.

You know Eren Jaeger, right?

[ She's ridiculous... He's so fond. Not even gonna address professional vs. personal care at the moment. ]

Have you? I bet you two make a terrifying team.

He's become a dear friend of mine. So much so that when he and a few others moved onto a farm that he bought, he gave me a permanent guest room there to come and go as I please. It really was too kind of him...

Anyhow. My point is I now have free use of a really, ridiculously nice property. And a baby chick who thinks I'm its father, which I suppose is a bonus.

Come spend some time with me here. I want to hear about how you're feeling, even if it isn't abnormal or maladaptive.

I'd say the latter was an unintended and happy consequence, but I would be lying, and I can't lie to you.

Please come over any time. I'm just hanging out by the pond, you can't miss it.


[ Location sent! It really is a very nice farm. Maruki's lucky to be able to call it another little slice of home.

It's early evening, the summer sun just beginning its inexorable descent below the horizon, and he really ought to put said baby chick in the coop for the night. But she's asleep in some flowers and he's comfortable leaning up against a rock to read, so if Venat does choose to join him, that's how she'll find him.

[ OH. Unintended bonus, perhaps: Argos might like the farm too! Do familiar dogs need to run the way real ones do? Probably not. Maruki doesn't know animals, much less familiars. But it's a thought that crosses his mind as he stands, book dog-eared and left aside, and makes his way over to meet them halfway.

He's been deliberately slow introducing Venat to the finer points of partnering with someone (get bent, BB) – and happily so, at that. It's more enjoyable this way, easing into even the simplest shows of affection that no one would think twice about back in his true reality. It lends a significant weight to every act, and for an endlessly sentimental guy, that's only ever a boon.

Still, though, there is always this: Greeting Venat with arms outstretched to wrap her up in an embrace, hugging her close before separating just enough to be able to look her in the eye, smiling like every star in the sky.
]

Thank you for joining me. It's a nice place, isn't it?

[ To say the least. Eren's wish had been for a simple farm; what he got is a little absurd, including the massive farmhouse some distance behind them.

Maruki unwraps one arm from around her to extend a hand to Argos as well, never one to leave him out even as he's unwilling to let go so quickly.

[It doesn't hit in the traditional sense.

But it hits. A jolt to his psyche, a piercing force against his soul itself. That's not a normal attack. Nothing she does is, but that in particular-

Oh, he hates that.

Whatever smug bastard energy he was exuding? Gone. He's irritated. Every weapon strikes Robin Hood over and over and over. His least valuable persona - he doesn't really give a shit that it's 'damaged' by her ability. Stamina drained almost completely by that power, the entity vanishes at the end of the attack.

It doesn't hurt Akechi either. Not in the way he's used to. Drains. As if Robin Hood's weariness is his own. That I Am Thou Thou Art I resonating in full.
]

Nice job, I suppose. I didn't think that would work. I guess that's why you were able to kill such a formidable foe. What a blessing it is to have you on our side.

It must be the ghosts.

[He eyes the curtain - it would be so much easier if they could just move through the facility.]

Just kidding, of course. Stay cautious of it - unless you want to go investigate it firsthand. I wouldn't stop you.

[The vision of her stumbling will be in his psyche forever. Bless this moment for that singular memory.

Yet, she somehow doesn't sound exhausted. That is infinitely more annoying, when his own voice is strained despite how he didn't battle at all. Robin Hood mirrored in him - they're one and the same.
]

How adaptable. As expected of someone with your experience.

[Irritating.]

I thank you for indulging my requests today. That's all I wanted to see.

How compassionate of you.

[Footsteps - he presses the light to see-

A creature illuminated right next to the door in flickers and flashes. His hand hovers over the button to shut it and-

Doesn't move. Doesn't press it. He can see its eyes and shadow through the thin window meant to give them vantage.

He could just let it in. Have some fun. See what happens when one of them is caught by the beast, but-

The intrusive thoughts don't win the dice roll. He gives the door a tap just as the shadow moves.

Oh, that was close.

[ And yet, for as foreign as he knows it all is for Venat, she's not bad at this at all. (Then again, has she ever truly been bad at anything in her long life? Somehow, he doubts it.) A faint flush rises in his cheeks at that, but he doesn't fluster or try to hide it. ]

Well, loath as I am to leave that spotlight...

[ And he does linger there for a few moments longer, merely smiling at her, bringing a hand up to stroke a few loose strands of hair back. It's a powerful affection he feels, constantly squeezing his ribcage; these small outlets for it matter.

But then he swings around to stand by Venat's side instead, an arm still wrapped around her waist, the other gesturing expansively to the fields, the farmhouse, the barn, that tree off in the distance that's perfect for napping beneath. It's a bucolic, beautiful place, and Maruki has to laugh a little.
]

You'd think that cottages and castles would be the most jarring sights for a city guy like me to contend with, but no. A farm is somehow much stranger. Still, I'm becoming fond of it.

There has to be another way to go about this.

[Patience is a virtue. Waiting isn't. Sitting ducks in a center room, surround by enemies on all sides.

Door opens. Light off. Akechi studies the TV and the flaring curtain on it - the different buttons and phone.
]

We could attempt to alter this world in a way it doesn't expect. Cognitions are easy to distort with the right motivation, so to speak. The right keys. Are you amenable to trying?

[Whether she is, or isn't, lmao. lol. He's doing it anyway.]
