 Hey.

So with everything that happened I'm pretty well fed, and probably now would be a good time to figure out what exactly I can do. 

Does anyone want to volunteer for that?

I won't hurt you but it might not all be that pleasant.

Okay. What do I have to do?

[written]

[reluctantjinrou]

You don't have to do anything. At some point today I'm going to try something and if you happen to feel it, let me know.

[written]

[booyaka_boom]

Uhm. Okay. So, should I be doing anything... or, NOT doing anything? Cause if you hurt me I'll be mad!!

[written/action]

[reluctantjinrou]

No, keep doing what you're doing.

[Action]

[Selphie needs to wait about an hour and a half. Maybe she's forgotten about the request by now, but that's the idea. Natsuno is up in the crow's nest, away from everyone. He takes a deep breath and focuses. He can smell everyone, he can hear their heartbeats and he can find Selphie in her room.

All of a sudden, the air might seem a little thick, a strong sense of foreboding might creep up on her. It will seem subtle at first, and then become increasingly stronger. She might hear a creak on the stairs, one or two as it sounds like something is coming towards her.

Then he appears, hovering in her doorway, eyes red and hypnotic, his fangs extended forebodingly.

All at once, everything vanishes.]

[action]

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie is well enough to be out of bed, and she's decided to clear up her room. She's just finished making her bed when she feels that horrible, creeping feeling. She freezes, afraid tobreathe, wide eyes glancing around for whatever is coming. Then when she sees that image in her doorway she lets out a terrified scream and reaches straight for her nunchaku, stumbling across the floor*

[action]

[reluctantjinrou]

[Natsuno exhales as he's done with his hypnosis trick, and he can feel that her heart seems to be racing and he wonders if it worked.]

[action]

[booyaka_boom]

*Once she's finally calmed herself, Selphie goes storming out of her room, nunchaku firmly clutched in her hands. Well done, Yuuki. You're the first person to get her out her room in days. But she's glaring and shouting for him at the top of her lungs*

Yuuki! Where the hell are you? You big coward!!

So you don't know what exactly you can do?

written;

[reluctantjinrou]

Not really. I've spent a lot of time expecting not to be a vampire for very long. However, since Riku and I have an agreement, dying is not an option I suppose I need to figure this out. It might be beneficial.

[watchesthesea]

I can always help you know. So I'll volunteer to help you with this, or anything else in the future. After all isn't that what friends do?

[written/action]

[reluctantjinrou]

Thanks, Kairi.

[He only makes her wait about a half hour. Natsuno takes a deep breath. It's harder to pick out Kairi, he's less familiar with her. When he does find her he concentrates.

She might feel a sense that someone is watching her, no matter which way she turns, someone is watching, almost waiting. Someone dangerous. No one can be seen however, and leaving where she is doesn't work, those eyes are following her.

All at once, she may feel the sense that she needs to go to the front of the boat on the deck, the feeling that she needs to get away from this unyielding stare. If she goes there, the feelings will vanish. If she doesn't they will disappear a few minutes later.

Natsuno exhales. It's really not that easy to do.]

[written/action]

[watchesthesea]

[It was certainly a eerie feeling and one that could make one quite uncomfortable. Kairi was kind of no exception as she walked around quietly, looking at the left, staring to the right. No, no matter where she moved to, she didn't feel comfortable or even safe once more.

Holding her journal close for the mean time her steps quicken to so decides to head on up to the deck, at least that way she'd know if there was actually someone watching her or not. But when she reached the top, it still lingered and she wanted to keep going, toward the front. Taking those steps towards the front, she finally felt that the eyes were no longer there and she sighed with relief. For now she was going to sit down and write back.]

Were you watching me?

[written]

[reluctantjinrou]

No, not actually. I just made you think someone was watching, and I wanted you to move onto the deck. Did you?

][Natsuno is curious. And hiding in the crow's nest again, thanks Selphie.]

[voice]

[darknessinside]

[Hanging out in the galley as he checks his journal, and he stumbles across Natsuno's post just about the same time Selphie's storming around outside screaming at him. He gives an amused snort.]

Guess you were right about it not being pleasant. What the heck did you do to her?

[written]

[reluctantjinrou]

Hypnosis. But it's really creepy.

[written]

[darknessinside]

Oh?

[Sounds interested.]

How creepy is really creepy?

[written]

[reluctantjinrou]

I could show you. I always found it pretty creepy.

[written] totally didn't register it had switched to written LOL

[darknessinside]

[Thinks about it for all of two seconds. Really, he was going to volunteer anyway.]

Sure, okay. What do I do?

[written/action] LOL No worries.

[reluctantjinrou]

Nothing, just do what you're doing.

[Action]

[He only makes Riku wait as long as it takes him to get back into the crow's nest and out of sight. He wonders briefly if it will make Riku come after him, but he will find out. He has to take a deep breath.

Whatever Riku is doing, he'll be forced to stop, in fact, he will not be able to move at all. Footsteps can be heard outside the galley door. A pan falls down off the counter. The door opens, and nothing is there.

Behind Riku, all of a sudden, there is Natsuno, red eyes and all. One hand moves, brushing against this collarbone and throat before going up to cover his mouth should he scream, the other hand grasping his arm and his fangs appear as though he's going to bite Riku.

All at once, it ends. Riku can move freely, the door is still closed and the pan undisturbed on the counter.

Natsuno is panting softly. Definitely difficult to do.]

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

No problem. Want to spar?

[Voice]

[reluctantjinrou]

Yeah, we could try. Ace did teach me how to throw a punch.

[Well, sort of. He's not really a fighter, but he hasn't really done much with his powers at all.]

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Good, now you can work on aiming or power, eh? Got a preference?

[Because yes, Marco is that cocky on his ability to either avoid or take the hit without giving a care either way.]

[Voice]

[reluctantjinrou]

[He would not entirely be wrong on that point, most likely.]

Aiming maybe. If I try with my vampire strength to put power behind it, it'll probably do some damage.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Trust me kid, if I can handle Ace's grandfather punching me, I can handle anyone in any universe, but let's get you started on aiming first.

[After all, if you can't hit someone, it doesn't matter how strong the punch would be.]

[Voice]

[reluctantjinrou]

I will meet you on the deck then.

[Won't be long, he's just up in the crow's nest.]
