Characters: Romeo and open
Setting: A coridoor, probably cafeteria level
Format: whatever you wish
Summary: Romeo's wandering around in the dark, looking for people, feel free to bump into him (literally or figuratively)
Warnings: none as of yet

"Molly?" Romeo shouted quietly squinting through the darkness of the coridoor, "Miss Spain, Miss Madeline?" He sighed, why had all the candles that wern't actually candles at all gone out? He had seen someone who had told him it was a power cut, Romeo sighed because he didn't even know what one of those were. All he knew was that it was dark, he couldn't find any real candles and he couldn't find his friends. "Napeta? Mister Doctor? Ienzo?" He sighed again and squeeked as he bumped into something or someone, "Sorry!"

That something was large - the size of an adult, and probably felt like metal and spandex. A low groaning noise came from it, and if Romeo looks up, he'll see green compound eyes start to glow dimly.

Romeo looked up wondering who he had bashed into, he saw the eyes glowing green and took a step back. "Wh...I'm sorry!"

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

"Ghhhgh..."

The being steps forward, possibly bumping into Romeo again. Hands are blindly reaching around in the dark as the thing snarls. It does not appreciate being literally put in the dark.

"GRAAAAGH!"

Romeo's eyes widened even further and he stumbled backwards again, what was this? Was it some kind of animal escaped from the forest, animals didn't usually have glowing eyes but this place was strange. His mother had always told him animals attacked when they were scared, maybe it was scared of the dark.

"It's alright! Are you lost?"

There is something in front of the creature. It is blocking the way.

Obstacles will be removed.

There's no answer other than some primal grunts, and, the horizontal swing of an armored forearm at where he thinks Romeo is.

Romeo was knocked backwards against the wall. "Calm down please sir! I'm not going to hurt you!"

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

The beast lunges for Romeo...

And pauses. Dark as it was, the boy wasn't fighting back, and it seemed his words may be reaching Eiji.

For the moment, he's looming over the boy, not quite sure what to do.

Romeo cringed again, pressed up against the wall. He hadn't meant to make this man, or whatever it was, angry! But when it stopped, without hitting him Romeo blinked and stared up at the glowing green eyes with scared eyes of his own.

It seems like there's several minutes that pass as the purple thing continued looming, but eventually, it makes pained noises before staggering back, holding its head. It falls to one knee, purple light flashing as the armor disappears, leaving a barely-conscious Eiji who flops forward on the ground.

Romeo stood trembling but then the figure in front of him fell. After a few moments where Romeo stood frightened, stuck to the spot, he crept forward slowly. "Sir? What's wrong?" He crouched down next to the man who he could barely see through the darkness, but he seemed to have stopped glowing.

Eiji tries to raise up, grunting and panting, but for now is stuck leaning on an arm. "I... I'm sorry..! You should run, before it happens again..." Another pained noise, then he chokes out more words - "I don't want to hurt anyone else if I can help it..."

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

Romeo blinked, "Before what happens? Are you injured?" He tentatively reached out to touch the mans arm, "Do you need water sir?"

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

Eiji rolled over on his back, drawing jagged breaths. "Before... Something makes me change back..."

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

"Change back?" Instead of retreating Romeo got closer reaching out to touch the man. "Come on sir, let's go to the infirmary!" Because the man looked sick and that's where you should take sick people!

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

"...I don't think the infirmary can help..." he hissed out, shaking his head. "The hospital couldn't help back home. I just gotta..." He grunts, trying to sit up. "...endure it."

Oh so it was one of those kind of things, something that doctors couldn't help with. Like what Alfredo had had. "Well then you need to rest sir," he reaches out to try and help the man up. "Where is your room sir?"

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

Something to that effect. Something that quite frankly, Eiji had no real idea what was going to happen with him - and wasn't able to be detected by conventional medicine.

Once he'd sat up, with Romeo's help, he shakes his head. "N-no, I can't... I can't go back up there."

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

Romeo blinked but he understood that the man was frightened and after what he had just seen Romeo was a little bit frightened as well but he merely sat dow next to the man, "Don't worry sir, I'll look after you!"

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

Eiji paused, then looked over at the boy. "What? Why would you do that?" After all, he'd just assaulted the poor boy.

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

Romeo blinked confused, "It wasn't your fault sir and you need help," he gave a small smile, "I'm Romeo by the way!"

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

Not his fault...

It was true, but still - those other boys, what had happened to them...

"Ah... th-thanks. I'm Eiji."

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

"Nice to meet you mister Eiji!" He smiled and stayed close to keep an eye on him, "Hopefully the lights will come back on soon!" Not that Romeo was scared, but it was strange.
