What: walk of shame
Warnings: well the murder is already behind us so maybe none?

[ he has mitigated... some of the bloodiness of his appearance. his face is wiped off, if still somewhat smeared. his gakuran jacket is clean, or it was before he put it back on, and now the amount of blood on his shirt underneath is spotting through some. there's still blood spray in his hair but in the dark of night that's hard to spot anyway.

his trousers and shoes are soaked and spattered to the point of being unsalvageable. the short sword in his hand is also wiped off, but still a sword.

he slinks and keeps to the shadows as much as he can on his way back, but there's no helping that he has to walk through the dorm building and through Kai-un's main area. ]

((if I don't have you on plurk pls tap me ooc on discord before tagging in! it isn't likely I will turn anyone down, I just want a stopgap option in case I get overwhelmed))

[ I mean he tries to be quiet about opening and closing the door but he's underestimated the girls severely ]

[surprise your girls are both low-key paranoid

eowyn is standing in her bedroom doorway with her small dragon skeleton in her arms. the little creature normally acts like a parrot and pays no attention to anybody but eowyn, but right now its wings are flared and its tail is writhing like a furious snake]

—Are you okay!?

[ deer in headlights. ah fuck ]

... I'll be fine.

[Hard not to realize someone's missing when you've got someone on board who does a headcount before setting her wards every night. And look, Suzuha's a light sleeper as it is. So even if she's allowing herself to doze while waiting to see if their errant teammate might make his way home tonight, with as on-edge as this has made her, the creak of a door and quiet footsteps are enough to get her jolting awake in a flash.

Just popping on out from her own open doorway, don't mind the dagger Hamn recently gifted her in one hand—]

What happened?

['I'll be fine' bro you got blood on you.]

You’re bleeding—

[she’s not looking long enough to register how much of that blood is his or isn’t, she’s already darting to the bathroom to grab towels and and their first aid kit]

[ expression shuttering closed, snapping ]

It doesn't concern you. Either of you. Go to sleep.

[Oh, is that how it's gonna be? Her gaze follows Eliza on her dash for supplies for just a moment, but when her attention falls back on him her own expression hardens.]

Pretty sure a teammate sneaking in covered in blood is a big concern. If there's something dangerous going on, we need to know.

What she said!

[pops her head out of the bathroom]

Take your shoes off and come here, you’re tracking blood in.

[ this is not at all the response he had been half-preparing himself to field if need be

after a moment he slowly crouches to set the sword down and take off his shoes. ]

I fought a monster. It looks worse than it is.

I can wash on my own.

[Suzuha's gaze flicks toward the dorm entrance. Traces back over the bloody smattering of tracks partially left in his wake. Hell of a lot of blood soaking those pants of his.]

There something new out there gunning for us?

[did you kill a jinmenken and NOT BRING ME THE BONES????]

You went out with that hunting group, didn’t you? They wanted to get monster parts.

[coming out of the bathroom and— no, well, he’s probably the type that would be scandalized if she went into his room to get him clean clothes.

goes to hover awkwardly near suzuha, waiting for something useful to do]

I did. There wasn't anything new.

[ he'll head for the bathroom now, taking the towels Eliza got ]

Geez.

[Sighing as she watches him go. Being out hunting would explain so much, but it's so late.]

You had us all worried, y'know? Dangerous as this place is.

If you'd been hurt out there, we wouldn't have been able to go out looking for you until morning.

I wouldn't expect you to. I didn't think I was being so closely monitored.

Go to sleep.

[ closing the bathroom door. water runs ]

[She's gotta bite back a response about looking out for their TEAM!! because she is not going to bicker through a closed door. She rolls her eyes and looks to Eliza.]

The hell is his problem?

[like it's hard to monitor four roommates?? she's not going to bed, there's BLOOD to clean up]

Maybe he lost the fight.

[ NO!! DON'T DO THIS TO HIS FACE EOWYN!!!!!!

absent from this thread for a bit while rinsing blood out of so many things but I can jumpcut to when he comes back out whenever y'all are ready ]

Sounds like a solid theory to run with, I guess. Must've been one hell of a fight, though.

[Lotta blood on that dude's clothes. Speaking of blood, she'll help Eliza in cleaning things up out here.]

[opening the front door— and ugh there's blood all out here too. she's not going to clean the whole hallway, at least not at night, but she'll scrub up the area in front of Kai-un's door so she can reset her wards. what evidence.]

Maybe it was one of those dog monsters? Like, if one was shaped like an Akita or a Doberman, that would suck...

[ eventually he comes back out. he is still wearing somewhat bloody clothes for the time being because he had to pick between tracking blood to his room or going to the bathroom without a change of clothes first, and he fuckin knew there would still be people out here when he left so he wasn't going to come out pantsless either, but he has wrung out and toweled his trousers enough that they are no longer dripping blood when he crosses to go get clothes from his room. picking up his sword along the way ]

[Coward. Take the pants off. Hamn is shirtless 24/7, anything goes in this dorm apparently—

No, but Suzuha dutifully helped out with the mess inside while Eliza tackled what's outside their door in the meantime. They can ponder what kind of monster he could have tussled with, but there's work to do.

And while there's still some concern in the look she gives him as he steps out, it is somewhat flat. This is a girl who does not like being dismissed.]

You all good?

[tying up the trashbag of bloody paper towels]

Do you want dinner? The cafeteria's closed, but I scanned everything we have here.

... I could have cleaned it up.

I just need to change and wash these clothes. I'll eat in the morning.

[Stubborn guy. She's not gonna fuss over him getting fed right now, but—]

You had plenty to clean up as it is.

You just got back from a monster fight. The only thing you should do is rest.

You're not responsible for my mess.

[ he means this in several ways ]

Doesn't mean we just have to leave it lying around for you. It's not a big deal to help.

[With a look to Eliza like, 'right, right??']

I’d be mad if you did think it was my responsibility.

[ ... exhales ]

Thank you, then.

Please excuse me. I haven't lived with other people in quite some time.

[ gonna go drop off his sword (and many knives) back at his room and get clean clothes to bring back to the bathroom ]

[Oops there was a third here also waiting up for dad in the living area? He is not AS paranoid as the girls, but maybe just a teeny bit, as he is keeping a watch. Sitting on the floor with his back to the wall, one hand gently massaging that thigh stab wound area.

He isn't going go make a fuss, just glance over and nod.]

Sup.

[ are you just really really really stupid? ]

I'm going to go wash.

[Which one of us is doing the walk of shame right now???]

Probably a good idea. Any of that yours?

That's none of your concern.

[ bathroomwards ]

My fuckin' concern if I want it to be.

[He will get up but not pursue. Stupid darkness]

Edited 2025-10-01 21:41 (UTC)

[ that does get him to stop though. ]

Why would you want it to be?

You forget we're workin' together?

We're not. You decided that on your own. When did I ever say that?

You didn't get a fuckin' choice. You're Kai-un like us.

Just because I happened to appear here? Even though I didn't choose it, and neither did any of you? Are you this devoted to family, too?

[Until it ended badly for him, yeah]

That supposed to be a dig? Cause it judt doesn't cut it, dude. Yeah, I'm a loyal fucking asshole. I don't give a shit.

You even hear yourself, dude? Nobody fuckin' asked for this. So what? You gonna do this alone? You haven't fuckin' seen anything yet.

I've done everything alone! Take your loyalty to somebody who wants you simpering after them like a dog!

[He just looks unimpressed]

So you can't handle me? Sounds like a personal fucking problem.

I handled you just fine.

Ah, yeah.

[SUCKER PUNCH]

[ lifts sword to block. blade out ]

[if you think he won't change tactics to wrench your hand aside to punch you in the face, well. surprise]

[ punched. bites his tongue, Again.

newly bleeding, spits blood in his face ]

[He is turning and walking away without a word, blood can't hurt him ~~he hopes~~]
