[ Tear was out an about doing her usual rounds. The places she usually ventures are: Cafeteria for food, or to make food, the meadows to pick flowers, the cemetery to place flowers on the graves of her friends that have disappeared, and the Gothic Cathedral so she could sing her heart out and sometimes feel comfortable in it. The cathedral reminded her of Daath’s Cathedral and she very much missed the small things of her world.

[ Ishtar was prancing around all over the tower, trying to find more meaningful things to do with her time while not being latched to her husband day and night. Ishtar could be seen around the Cafeteria, the meadows, or even the forestry areas of the tower. Occasionally she ventured here and there to the clinic. She was eager to help others heal and she would also like to test how well she had gotten with her magical abilities.

On top of that, she was hoping to meet some new people. ]

[ Kuwabara spent a lot of his time in the multimedia room, playing video games when he got a chance and other things when he did not have much to do. As of right now, he was skeptical about everything, being a bit out of the loop for the time being, he’s not sure what to do. Kuwabara could be see wandering the hallways throughout the day and in the multimedia room playing video games at night. If he wasn’t there, then the teenager was up and about trying to figure out what to do with his time here and who he could trust.

On top of that, the whole real powers thing got him. He had to think about it for a long time and he still hadn’t taken the substance yet.

Comments

[Tear's room, afternoon on the 15th]

[bloodyashes]

[There's a knock on the door, one that sounds rather impatient, followed by a familiar voice - ]

Tear, are you in there?

[He sounds kind of unimpressed, and also in pain.]

[Tear's room, afternoon on the 15th]

[melodyoftheabyss]

[ Tear's door gets pulled open when she recognized the voice of the person that was calling for her. ]

Asch? Yes, I am.

[ The door gets pulled all the way as she greets him properly. There is a rather quizzical look on her face as she looked at him, but nonetheless, rather calm and slightly concerned. ]

[bloodyashes]

[The reason he's there is immediately obvious - there's quite a bit of blood on his clothes, and he's holding one of the towels from the sauna floor over the left side of his face with one hand.]

Your healing artes are functional, right?

[And then, realizing how it must look, almost as an afterthought - ]

Don't worry, I didn't lose the eye.

[melodyoftheabyss]

[ When she fully sees the state the red head is in she ushers for him to get into the room,because he was bleeding from his eye. Her thoughts led to the worst case scenario but she remained rather collected about it. ]

What happened? Y-Yes they are functional. Shall I heal the injury?

[ Relief at least, because his eye is still attached. She gets straight to the point in the comment. ]

That is a relief to know.

[bloodyashes]

Apparently, despite our "real powers" being restored, they can still be cancelled out by the animals in the lower forest floor. I found out the hard way.

[He pulls the towel away from his face once he's inside - his eye is squeezed shut but not apparently injured, but the same can't be said for the rest of that side of his face. Whatever attacked him might not have gotten the eyes, but it gave it a hell of a good try.]

[melodyoftheabyss]

I have yet to fully test theory of "real powers." It was reckless of you to test that on something that can cancel your abilities.

[ The fonist hovers her hand over the red head briefly, musing a few lyrical words, before letting a glow emit from her hand, healing his eye the way it was suppose to be healed. She wasn't sure how healed it would but, but it would stop the bleeding. That is all that matters. She can't have her companions dying anymore than they have. ]

It seems like there are many things we have yet to learn. Nonetheless, I am relieved to know that you are still alive.

[bloodyashes]

It was one surprise. It won't happen again.

[When the arte is finished, he folds the towel up to wipe the worst of the blood off his face - there's some slight marks remaining, the beginning of faint scars, but the skin is closed and that's all he cares about, really.]

Besides, someone had to find out.

[melodyoftheabyss]

I am certain that it won't.

[ Tear was relieved to see that his injuries healed correctly and the eye was in place. There's a minor scar but it wouldn't be anything significant. It was still unfortunate, however to have such a scar. ]

I suppose, but injuries would have been avoided if you at least spoke about it. Regardless, what's done is done.

[ Yes, Tear can get a bit serious on certain things. Especially on the safety of the few companions she still has here. ]

[bloodyashes]

[Tear should know well enough by now - even if he's learned the basics of friendship and social interactions in the Tower, Asch is still very much a lone wolf. He probably wouldn't have even sought healing if it wasn't interfering with his vision.

He rubs at the dried blood in his hairline, freeing a few small scabs to fall on the floor.]

I don't need a minder.

[melodyoftheabyss]

[ She knows well, but she still insists that he communicates with them all from time to time. She knows he's rather stubborn about that aspect, but it doesn't stop her from reminding him that being reckless isn't a good idea. This is Tear after all.

Tear is very certain that he won't,that's why his abrupt visit is rather surprising. She's just good at hiding her brief surprise. ]

It would not hurt to notify myself, or any other healers of what you will be doing, Asch even if it displeases you.

[bloodyashes]

Why? If it doesn't kill me, I can come find someone easily enough.

[If it does kill him, well, it doesn't matter very much then, does it? And if it's something that injures him to the point where he can't get help, there's always the option of yelling for Lorelei, as much of a (literal) headache as it is. He can't imagine that the incarnation of the Seventh Fonon isn't a healer.]

I nodded off sorry D|

[melodyoftheabyss]

That isn't the point Asch. What if you were incapacitated with no means of contacting others?

[ Screaming wouldn't really do much if he was somewhere secluded. Tear was practical about all of this. Either way, what if Lorelei was out of commission? Either way, Tear was not going to promote reckless behaviour, considering she was certain that Asch was rather reckless sometimes. She had not been around him long enough, but she could pick up obvious signs of recklessness. ]

[bloodyashes]

That's what the poppies are for.

[It sounds so simple when he says it like that. He starts folding the towel neatly into quarters.]

It's not like I go to the power nullifying floors often. I can handle it.

[melodyoftheabyss]

Asch.

[ Yeah, too simple sometimes but she supposed it's not something she could control. ]

I am certain you are intelligent enough to avoid such places.

[bloodyashes]

[He tucks the towel into his belt, turning away slightly.]

Save your energy to worry about the people who can use it, Tear. I'm already too far gone.

[melodyoftheabyss]

[ Tear shakes her head briefly, seeing that she's not going to convince him any time soon, so she's not going to make too much of an effort. ]

There is nothing wrong with concern for allies, Asch. Please take care of yourself.
