5 ☪ Action / Accidental Voice

[my_safe_corner]

[Today, Luceti, you will be able to find someone bleeding around the edge of town today...

Or well, from any other angle than his own, to those who walk by, it will look somewhat like a small fountain of black ink coming from out of one of his arms. Some of it, dripping to the ground, but the rest? It's slowly taking an odd looking shape as it

[ action ]

[hakoiri]

[ Alf's peaceful walk comes to a tragic end when he hears Crona's yelling. He spots the source, and while puzzled by the black ink coming from out of the boy's arms, Alf hears the one word that sets off an alarm. He rushes over to Crona. ]

Bleeding? Are you all right?

[ action ]

[my_safe_corner]

[All Crona can manage as an answer is a freaked out noise, and looking completely freaked out. Who are you??]

[ action ]

[hakoiri]

[ Oh. Maybe he should have approached less abruptly. He feels kind of bad. ]

I'm sorry, did I scare you? You sounded hurt, so I came over to help.

[ action ]

[my_safe_corner]

[As he should. Don't mind Crona as he takes a few steps back to have more space.]

...I'm not hurt.

[His arm probably says something different, but he doesn't sound like it's bothering him.]

[ action ]

[hakoiri]

I-if you insist.

[ Alf stays rooted to his spot, eying the arm that appeared to gush ink. The child obviously needs space. ]

. . . But if I may, what happened to your arm?

[ action ]

[my_safe_corner]

...I was trying something..

[Not being specific for a reason. And now he's just going to attempt to hide his arm, even if he has no real way of doing that.]

[ action ]

[hakoiri]

[ Well, that's better an answer than "nothing." Taking into account what he heard earlier, Alf tries a guess. ]

Is that . . . blood?

[ action ]

[my_safe_corner]

...Yes...

[A very hesitant about that answer. It's one thing to say it, but no one here has actually seen his blood yet.]

[ action ]

[hakoiri]

You've lost a lot. I can't imagine how you must be feeling right now.

[ It's odd that someone's blood would be black, but perhaps it's . . . a trick of the light. Or it's dried considerably. Or something else. ]

If it's all right with you, I would like to try healing or at least treating your wound.

[ action ]

[my_safe_corner]

It's not that bad..

[He is not good with people that can use magic, and with anything else he'd have to be touched, so noo thank you. But if Alf looks at the drops of blood that ended up on the snow, it really is black. Not even a tint of red there.]

[ action ]

[hakoiri]

[ But, but, black blood makes no sense. Unfortunately for Crona, Alf's highly hesitant about leaving that bleeding arm be. ]

Are you sure?

[ action ]

[my_safe_corner]

[It makes perfect sense! To him.]

Yes...it'll stop soon.. [He hopes. Oh he is cursing the power cap right now.]

[ action ]

[hakoiri]

[ He doesn't count, he grew up with it! ]

It'd be best to stop it now. You've already lost more than necessary.

[ Then again, is losing any amount of blood necessary? ]

[ action ]

[my_safe_corner]

[...What about his mom? It makes even more sense to her.]

...It's not that much...

[To say, he really has lost a lot more than that.]

[ action ]

[hakoiri]

[ . . . Witches excluded. Why is Crona's life defined by "fml." ]

. . . You're not feeling strange at all?

[ Losing that much has to make the kid feel woozy. ]

[ action ]

[my_safe_corner]

[Uhh...Lord Death then! :| That can be blamed on his mom though.]

Strange?

[He always feels a bit strange.]
