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

[egotrigger]

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?]

Comments

[egotrigger]

[What.]

Seriously? Biting's all you got? That's a pretty damn weak threat.

[kami_korosu]

... you truly are an herbivore.

[It doesn't seem to actually bother Hibari that the tower's residents haven't caught onto his manner of speech. He's actually a little surprised that Hallelujah was under the impression that he intended on... literally biting the man to death.]

I do not associate with herbivores. [He makes the turn to leave.]

[egotrigger]

[And there's a shot that sails right over Hibari's shoulder, close enough so that the other can hear it whiz through the air.]

The way you talk is fucking weird, but I'm pretty sure that's a damn insult. And that's not something that I can let go.

[kami_korosu]

[He stops in his tracks as the bullet sails past him.]

Hm, so you are a predator after all. [At least, Hibari appears to approve of Hallelujah "defending his honor" or whatever he chose to describe it as. Except, he keeps walking until he has made his leave of the floor.

He has suddenly remembered that there are windows to be washed.]

[egotrigger]

Of course I am.

[... Seriously? Hallelujah jogs after the guy, knife in his hand.]

You don't fucking insult someone and walk away. The hell kind of shit is that?

[kami_korosu]

[Hibari raises a brow.] It bothers you that much?

[His hand strays to a black pouch attached to his waist that holds his collapsible tonfa.]

[egotrigger]

Obviously.

[He stops a few feet behind Hibari, interested in what he'll do next.]

[kami_korosu]

You look as if you need to blow off some steam.

[He hasn't turned around yet. He doesn't need to in order to sense Hallelujah's hostility.]

[egotrigger]

That's for damn sure.

[He aims a kick to the back of Hibari's knee, hard enough that it'll cause serious damage if it lands.]

[kami_korosu]

[Here's what Hibari's been waiting for. He manages to side-step the kick and is also well-aware of the amount of force behind it. Here's an opponent who has a good amount of experience in combat under his belt.]

So you're a fighter after all.

[He continues to observe Hallelujah from there.]

[egotrigger]

Of course I am. I'm a soldier.

[He goes for another kick, to the front of his knee, trying to shatter it.]
