Placeholder tag, if you don't mind? Also, what is hiatus fanged_wings October 1 2011, 05:30:51 UTC

Somehow, somehow he'd managed to get out of the attic. He'd wandered for a bit before finally making it to the parlour, where he'd promptly curled up on one of the lounges and all but crashed out.

The teen was curled up into a shivering ball, legs drawn up and hands pressed to his chest. The eyepatch was in one hand, leaving both eyes visible though neither was open. Akito and Agito were both too shaken and unable to comprehend what the hell was going on. They shouldn't be here by all rights. It was impossible. They were supposed to be...

He shuddered and curled up tighter. He was afraid, more afraid than he'd ever been before. He wanted to go home. He didn't want to be here anymore. This place didn't make sense, it was an impossible place. He wanted to wake up now...

A shaking ball of teenager on the couch was kind of a hard sight to miss. Tim grew concerned quickly-- though movement was a good sign, rather than complete stillness, since it meant alive and responsive-- and made his way over there. What was wrong here?

"Akito?" Tim asked, moving to him but not touching him. "What's wrong?"

fanged_wings October 4 2011, 07:41:38 UTC

Noise. A voice. He recognised it after a moment. Tim.

Akito managed to take control enough to uncurl, both eyes opening to look at the other teen. Left eye was afraid, amber gold dull though not as badly as the right. The slit pupil in the right was barely focusing, the normally bright gold very badly dulled. Agito was in a bad state.

"T-Tim..." Recognition, that was good. Okay, he should...he should try and explain. Even...even if...he shivered and forced himself to sit upright, not stopping the instinct to curl his arms around his legs once he had. "I...I d-don't..." He didn't know how to explain. How did you tell someone you'd died? "Th-this place...isn't p-possible..." He needed to stop shivering but how? He was so afraid...

comeswithpants October 4 2011, 15:28:51 UTC

Okay. Responsive was good, even if there was obviously some pretty major problems, and so was recognition. Tim lowered himself slightly, still not touching him-- he wasn't sure how Akito would react to that, but at least he was responding to aural stimuli.

He scanned his face, noting his eyes-- dull and listless, over all.

He watched as he straightened, letting Akito take his time to explain the situation. He wasn't ready to put any pressure on him. "It isn't," he agreed, encouragingly. "What happened?" he asked, voice gently insistent. Akito was clearly physically okay, so the problem was psychological. So what had messed with him that badly? He'd been fine early on in the night, after the creatures had first come out...

fanged_wings October 5 2011, 01:03:48 UTC

Touch wouldn't have bothered Akito too much. The light was a contact prone person, he thrived on it. His other may not have, but Agito was so out of it, Akito doubted he would have noticed anything right now.

"I..." How to explain this? "I w-was running...from the monsters." Okay that was a good start. Just do things in order. You're fine Akito, just fine... "W-was in the bathroom with all the dolls...th-there...there was a m-man there...he was in the mirror. He w-wasn't in the r-room, just the mirror...he had no face..." The light's voice was dull as he remembered, shivering again. The man had creeped him out but that tune...he still remembered the tune. It made no sense...

"H-he...I d-don't know how...but he...attacked my r-reflection...a-and it h-hurt me..." His voice trailed off, a hand rising to his throat. He'd died...they'd died...but they were alive now...it was impossible...

comeswithpants October 10 2011, 03:19:10 UTC

"He hurt you?" Tim echoed, once Akito trailed off into silence once again. He'd apparently said his piece, Tim wasn't sure he was going to get more out of him without a little further prompting. But this was a start, at least, hearing the basics of what happened.

But the hand over his neck was obviously a sign he remembered an injury. But there was nothing wrong there-- not even a mark. He frowned. "How did someone in a mirror hurt you?" he asked, though he kept his voice level-- not incredulous, not doubtful. Just gently prompting.

fanged_wings October 10 2011, 03:25:59 UTC

"I don't know..." he whispered softly, going back to hugging himself. "B-but...when my re-reflection was h-hurt...s-so was I..." The man hadn't existed in the real world, but it had still hurt him. He had no idea how, but it had. This place was so many levels of impossible it hurt Akito's head.

comeswithpants October 14 2011, 16:57:06 UTC

Tim frowned thoughtfully, trying to get a better look at Akito's throat, watching carefully. He couldn't see anything, but the trauma was obvious. If it were a phantom pain, an illusion of pain using the reflection, or something else... well, that still dint' quite explain it.

"How badly did he hurt you?" he asked, voice gentle.

fanged_wings October 15 2011, 02:44:27 UTC

"I..." He swallowed hard. He didn't want to say it. But he had to get past it somehow. Acceptance was the first step or something, wasn't it?

"It...it k-killed me..." The teen barely resisted curling up into a tight ball at that thought. "I sh-shouldn't be a-alive...b-but I am..." He didn't understand...

comeswithpants October 24 2011, 04:23:51 UTC

Tim froze. He barely kept in the outburst that that was impossible, because dismissing Akito's story as nothing but delusional and trauma was not going to help him. Even if someone coming back from the dead like that was... impossible.

Or was it? It's not like no heroes had ever come back from the dead back home. Superman was one really famous example.

Instead of questioning it, just yet, Tim gently put a hand on Akito's shoulder in a gesture of comfort. "It's okay," he said softly. "No matter what happened, you're okay right now."

fanged_wings October 29 2011, 05:50:14 UTC

The contact helped bring him back to reality, looking up at Tim. He was afraid, unsure and worried. This place that made no sense terrified him.

"...yeah...it's okay now..." He could accept that. Though he was afraid of night coming again, but for now he had to get a grip, right?

comeswithpants October 30 2011, 21:37:52 UTC

Tim couldn't possibly blame him for being scared, honestly. He looked down at him, doing his best 'reassuring' look. It didn't make a lot of sense to him, but they'd deal with it.

"Yeah. Yeah, it's okay," he said. He squeezed the shoulder very gently, nodding his head firmly. "I don't know how much more you can tell me-- but it's okay. You'll figure it out. Just... you know. Talk, if you need to."
