tvk | Unit 4 - One is the lonelest number that you'll ever know.

[[ooc: This post spans Thursday until Saturday morning so let me know what day you're responding to]]

[Voice message for Saori, Minato, Ryu, and Orihime, aka his family from that event]

[Thursday during the day – One brother's gone and the other's gone strange and now he feels the need to try to keep a hold of that feeling of 'family' that they had during the event. What, family is important and even if they aren't related or don't feel that way anymore he still feels a bit of connection/responsibility for them. Ok, so he's consolidating in preparation for the storm.]

I know it's been a while since we last spoke, but if there is anything you ever need, just let me know.

[Forward dated Saturday around 2 am after tvklogs.dreamwidth.org/33227.html#comments : warning, this log contains gore,suicide/self destruction and other possible triggers]

[Action for the hotel lobby, open for anyone]

[The door to the hotel lobby swings open and Gaignun walks in. However he isn't as neat and presentable as he usually is. He's covered from head to toe with drying blood, and if you look closely there is a bloody kiss mark on his cheek. He also looks absolutely exhausted and really could use a shower.

He will however stop and talk if anyone manages to get his attention.]

[[ooc: Also, Gaignun has no idea of Albedo's other...activities those three nights, so feel free to bring them up]]

[TEXT forward dated to Saturday morning around 9 am]

I'm afraid that Jr and MOMO have left the island, and that Albedo has made himself somewhat unavailable. If they have left behind responsibilities that can not be shifted to someone else or can not wait, please contact me and I will be happy to render any help needed.

Tomorrow.

[Wow, that was not what Issei expected to see when the door opened.]

A-are you all right? What happened out there?

Edited 2012-02-10 23:56 (UTC)

Hmm? [Sorry, it takes him a minute to realize he's being spoken to.]

Oh, I'm fine. None of it's mine...I'm sorry to have startled you.

Is there anything I can do? Even if it's just spare a washtub...

*Gaignun is exhausted and bloody...this is not a good sign.*

G-Gaignun? Are you alright?

You're very kind. [a sad smile pulls at the corner of his lip for a moment.] However these clothes are probably ruined a little too far beyond simple washing.

...what happened?

[At the sound of his name he looks over at Allen, it takes him a minute to realize who it is.]

Allen? Oh, yes, I'll be alright. I just want a shower.

Something I should have been expecting, unfortunately I was too late to stop him from going through with it again.

Who?

Albedo. I don't know if you know him.

I do. I... I ran into him a few nights ago.

You...[A few nights ago. He wonders if that was after the start of the end.]

I'm sorry, he's not...well he is but...

What happened?

He didn't want any help from me despite being injured. He threatened me. With his knife, like this. [He taps the side of his throat where the knife had been.] And his laugh is terrifying.

But obviously, I'm in one piece.

Wh-what happened?

*You're worrying your friend, Gaignun.*

[Damn. Issei is now getting a look of sympathy.]

I'm sorry you had to go through that. Something happened that put him over the edge again, I thought things were going to get better.

However I will have to have a talk with him when all this is over about threatening children.

[Well, at least Allen knows enough so that Gaignun doesn't have to really go into a detailed explanation.]

Jr and MOMO are gone, and Albedo...[He sighs and shakes head, spreading out his blood stained hands.]

[Ryu does not notice Gaignun walking in, because Ryu is asleep on a couch in the hotel lobby. Someone's been kind enough to wrap a blanket around him, but there's the distinct smell of blood on him. He's pale, and his face has a troubled expression on it, as if he's having a bad dream.]

[well that gets his attention. He'd gotten fond of Ryu during that family event and to see him as such...]

Hey...[he'll try and wake him] You shouldn't sleep down here.

[Ryu blinks slowly and looks up at him. He shifts, and the blanket falls away, revealing a cut down his front with dried blood and a cut down his side.]

... Gaig...nun?

*He'd noticed that Jr. and MOMO had disappeared from the listings, but Albedo...he couldn't say he liked the man from what he'd seen of him, but he knew enough that it wasn't surprising that he'd reacted badly to Jr. leaving. He also knew enough to understand why Gaignun seemed so distant.*

I'm...I'm sorry. I know I can't bring them back, but...if there's anything I can do...

What happened to you Ryu? You look like you got ambushed by a bunch of shadows. Have you had anyone look at those cuts?

[Gaignun sighed and shook his head] Don't worry about me Allen, I just want a shower. A very long shower.

It... wasn't shadows.

[He looks down and shakes his head.]

[Thankfully concern for Ryu is overriding his own tiredness. Then again taking care of someone else was something he was used to.]

What happened...come on. Let's go get you cleaned up.

Are you sure?

*See this worried look, Gaignun? He doesn't even need to try to tell you're upset.*
