it's not a cry you hear at night (backdated to the 21st)

Characters: Hallelujah (possibly Allelujah) and anyone.
Setting: Floor 39 (gymnasium) (day), Floor 75 (tower) (night)
Format: Either.
Summary: Hallelujah has grown frustrated with Allelujah's silence, and has taken to trying to beat out his frustration on anything and everything.
Warnings: Talk of Richtofen which itself is a warning, mentions of vivisection, character death, gore. Also heavy swearing and violence warnings as per usual with Hallelujah.


[Floor 39]

[Every goddamn day he comes here, and every goddamn day he trains. All the details are fuzzy, but he's still determined to get even stronger than he already is in order to kick that guy's ass. He can't explain how that horrible experience made him feel - upset, angry, afraid. The last one is an emotion he's never supposed to feel. So how does this even work? He's not a person. He's just part of one.]

[He punches the punching bag again and again, the fabric starting to split. He has some fabric wrapped around his knuckles but they're also starting to grow red.]




[Floor 75]
[A Chocobo zooms out of the darkness, making a line for Hallelujah. He doesn't care. The birdlike creature is met with a roar, Hallelujah reaching out to grab the thing by the neck and twist, breaking it. He kicks the body, over and over.]

Dammit, just answer me! Stop fucking hiding!

[A Bullfairy flies at him, interested, but he grabs it from the air and squeezes, crushing it.]

Say something!

[He carries on like this for a while, not caring if anyone comes up the stairs and hears him. He's already thought of as crazy, so who the hell cares?]

Woooow, you seem pretty angry.

[Anise is sitting off to one side, and up until now it had probably been pretty easy to ignore her. She's good at staying quiet when she doesn't want to draw attention to herself, but with the punching bag starting to split, now seems like a good a time as ever to speak up.]

So what happened? Someone you know get sent home?
forhislegacy: (i don't get it...)

[personal profile] forhislegacy 2013-07-25 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[She doesn't seem intimidated - mostly, she just seems curious. She watches, her chin resting on her hands, as he takes down the punching bag; her gaze follows the sand that's leaking out before she looks up at him when he turns to her.]

Do you always get this mad when someone gives you the cold shoulder?
forhislegacy: (oh no...)

[personal profile] forhislegacy 2013-07-26 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Uhh, what?

[Did she hear that right? She can't have heard that right. Anise stares at him with an expression that is equal parts curious and perturbed.]

What do you mean by that?
forhislegacy: (umm idk)

[personal profile] forhislegacy 2013-07-26 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Anise thinks she sort of gets it, but there's something that bothers her about this whole situation, and it takes her a few moments to put her finger on it.]

But how can the other you just get all quiet like that? If he's in there somewhere, can't you hear his thoughts or something? I mean, it's your mind. ...his mind.

...this is confusing.
forhislegacy: (this is a guilty face talking)

[personal profile] forhislegacy 2013-07-26 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
That's probably really strange for you...

[Anise frowns. She's never really dealt with something like that before, so she's honestly not sure what kind of a solution there might be.]

Is there anyone around here who's good with minds, or something? Maybe they could draw him out.
forhislegacy: (i can't even look at you)

[personal profile] forhislegacy 2013-07-26 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
It was just a thought. Just, um - if there's two of you, if you're used to being there together, it might be better to fix it sooner rather than later.

[Anise shrugs.]

If you're upset and he's not even functioning... that'll make it hard to stand up to whatever might happen next. And next month is supposed to be Jason's month, right? I don't think anyone's going to like that.
forhislegacy: (chipmunk cheeks)

[personal profile] forhislegacy 2013-07-26 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm just saying, it'll probably be easier to stand up to him if you're both here together instead of hiding away and wondering why he won't answer.
forhislegacy: (this is a serious question)

[personal profile] forhislegacy 2013-07-26 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
So what are you going to do about it? If it were me, I'd do a lot of things that would really bug the other me, so they'd come out and say "Would you stop that already?!" or something.

...well, I'd probably get someone to try and look into my mind first if it was someone I could trust, but there's not a lot of people like that here. [That she can trust, she means.]
forhislegacy: (umm idk)

Dunno what to tell you, then. I guess it's hard to get a reaction out of someone who doesn't get mad that easy.
