[Voice & Written]

[He's going to regret this later, but there's a bunch of excitedly high-pitched chirps like a bird singing a love song.]

[That's okay. It matches the background sounds.]

[But FAR more embarrassing is the scribbles he makes into the journal:]




[So someone has a case of Spring Fever. Or maybe just a fever.]

[And then in big bold colorful levels Marco makes sure to add:]


FREE FLOWER CROWNS FOR EVERYONE WHO SIGNS UP NOW.

[Yeah. He's kind of lost it.]

[It is entirely possible that the island is having more of an effect rather than just crippling fear, if he was honest about it. He was not freaking out about this before they were there. Not like this. Hadn't he resolved to get past things?]

I don't want to be a burden on the crew.

[It's so enticing. He wants to protest, but realistically, shouldn't he just do it? Isn't that what Riku is getting at?

He licks his teeth and takes Marco's wrist in his hands gingerly. There isn't any point in asking for permission when it's already been granted.]


Lean forward a bit...the wrist is actually pretty dangerous.

[Natsuno doesn't need to move up too far on his arm before it's safer to sink his teeth in. When the blood touches his tongue he can't help but let his reflexes kick in. It's one of the rare times he's not needing it, but he can actually enjoy it, as horrible as that seems.

Even if Marco is a Phoenix, it doesn't stop him from glancing up with his eyes. If Marco decides to faint on him, he'll have to move quickly like he did for Selphie.]

[It's strange, but not entirely unpleasant either. It only needs to last a moment or two more before he retracts his teeth, draws his tongue over the remaining blood and lean back.

Somehow he feels a little more clear headed. It isn't entirely gone, the panic and the horror brewing under the surface, but for the moment it's a little easier to take.

Sitting up in that confined space the entire time they're there is probably not helping. It's getting to him.]

Yeah, actually I feel a little better.

[That realization in itself is a little welcome, although unsettling.]

And I didn't even go on the island.

[He shudders visibly.]

No, the deck is too close to the island. If I could get further away from it, I would. This was as far as I could get.

[It will have to wait until they put this place behind them.]

You don't have to. I'm...well I'll be relatively okay here.

Stories, huh.

[He thinks about it, musing a little.]

Let me see...

Tohru really believed some of the strangest things. My father would say it's because of small town superstitions. All the same, he did.

So the story he told me was there was this spring in town. The water would come through the forest and they built kind of like a well for the water to sit in.

The water is always cool and people believed it would make you smarter if you drank it. So kids would drink the water before tests or things like that.

I never believed in anything like that because to me it's just something that seems to be unproven. So one night we were walking by and he tells me this story. In the water is this spider and he says the spider is like a guardian, always living in the water and it had been there for generations.

I can't say I was listening in detail, because he's going on and on about this spider and the next thing I know cold water is being splash in my face and he grins at me and says.

'Well you want to get into university don't you?'

[Natsuno can't hide the fond smile. Tohru was something else.]
reluctantjinrou: (Hmmmm)

Action

[personal profile] reluctantjinrou 2014-04-15 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course not! I don't think that's how these things work.

Hmm. Who else can I tell you about...

[Because Marco must be tired of hearing about Tohru's nonsense by now.]

I could tell you about Shimizu.

This girl was crazy. I'm not even talking about when she was a vampire, she was completely crazy before then.

So I move to town and Shimizu Megumi is in my class. So this girl had some kind of fixation on the city. She really wanted to go there, I guess. I tuned out half the things she said to me.

She would come up to me and say 'Yuuki-kun' and then just stare at me. At first it didn't seem more then just a crush but then, then this girl starts stalking me.

I don't mind she'd follow me to school, which she would, I mean she would come at night and sit outside my window, staring at me from the bushes. She wasn't exactly covert. It got to the point I couldn't even open the shades on my window. She was always there.

I wasn't sure what to do about her so I resorted to ignoring her altogether. This did not deter her in any way. Not even a little bit. I looked at her once and man did she read that the wrong way.

It was like she cast herself as this tragic heroine or something. I don't know, like I was in a love story I didn't ask to be in.

Honestly, when she died, I wasn't the least bit sorry about that.

[personal profile] reluctantjinrou 2014-04-15 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
She never confessed to me. I mean, I wouldn't have been surprised. I think she liked the dramatic effect, being the person who loved someone from afar. I really didn't know what to do about it.

[He snorts.]

She came back as a vampire and that night I was at Tohru's, it was never more clear just how nuts she was. I was frozen, hypnotized. She wanted me to see it. She told me how much she hated Tohru because I liked him much better than her. She was right, but that's irrelevant.

When she died, her friend Kaori tried to give me a summer greeting card she left behind, but I wanted nothing more to do with her. I wouldn't have been at the funeral, except my mother made me go. It came in the mail awhile later, just before I died. She was still stalking me as a vampire and she made sure I knew it too. I felt like I was going crazy, but I know I wasn't. I opened the window, ripped it up and threw it outside for her to find.

She took my best friend away. Even if she were sane at some point, there's no way I could forgive her.

[personal profile] reluctantjinrou 2014-04-15 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I really don't have an explanation for that. There was someone that Tohru liked. She was nice enough and sane. I didn't like it, but there's not much I could do. She wouldn't have tried to kill me just because we were friends.

Shimizu was just crazy and being a vampire after that, well, she seemed to like it a lot.

[He shuffles a little.]

It's bad luck for her I suppose. Even if I did like women, her stalking was beyond enough to turn a person off, I would think.
reluctantjinrou: (Glare)

[personal profile] reluctantjinrou 2014-04-15 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd have to agree with that. Psychotic would definitely fit.

[He arches an eyebrow at that.]

Kind of a strange habit, don't you think? Right out of a cartoon.

[Hmm...who else did he know.]

Let's see, I have Tohru who was my best friend and Shimizu who loved me...I could tell you about Masao. It was the opposite with him, he hated me.
reluctantjinrou: (Sideways Glance)

[personal profile] reluctantjinrou 2014-04-15 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Jealous? I don't think so. Just in awe of my amazing personality.

[A little sarcasm goes a long way sometimes.]

He was best friends with Tohru's brother. His attitude was about as good as mine is. Only, he was horrible with timing. He was kind of dumb too, and I could talk circles around him.

I'm not going to lie, I rather enjoyed that.

He was a weird, creepy guy, and he was Tohru's friend also because, well it's Tohru. After Shimizu died he came in and he was talking about how she died and wasn't it tragic, how young she was and about all the potential lost. Only he wasn't saying it to be sad about it, he was grinning like it was funny.

I told him that death is pretty much tragic all the time. It's the same. Her age really has nothing to do with it. He calls me cold, after what he just said? Hmph. Tohru scolded me for teasing him, but I didn't really care then. I had my own problems at the time.

After Tohru died and we went to the funeral, he stayed with us during the wake. It was me and his siblings and Masao. He's sitting there, blubbering away and it's like a switch. He snaps up and comes at me screaming how cold and unfeeling I am because I'm not sitting there crying. Really, a true idiot.

He pulls me to my feet, grabbing at my clothes. He's literally picking a fight with me. Aoi shouts to stop it and Masao blames me. I told him he was an idiot and I was not going to fight him at my best friend's wake. Did he really think that coming and crying at the funeral meant anything? It seemed more like he was looking to be comforted, rather then being there to comfort the family. He was putting strain on them they didn't need. He couldn't believe it, but when he looked at Aoi and Tamotsu to see what they thought, they couldn't meet his eyes. That was the last time we saw Masao, he ran off after that.
