[Of course, he was out in the rain, heading back to his apartment, when it lets up. His jacket is soaked, as is his hair, but he doesn't look like he really minds as he looks up.]

Oh. It stopped.

[He briefly, fleetingly, smiles, and brushes down his coat...like that'll do anything to help.]

That's odd. It's already sunny again, with barely a cloud in ( Read more... )

[Subaru is safe and unharmed from all of this, looking out at all of the problems from on top of one of the buildings. He's dusty, a little grimy. His coat has black soot on it. He's been trying to help people get away from the fires.]

I don't understand all of these things about contractors...but...if anyone could inform me, I would greatly ( Read more... )

What...is all of this?

[He's more surprised than anything. Not affected, though.]

Yuzuriha-chan, Nataku, stay warm. I'm not so sure if Inuki can keep you warm, but if he can, then stay close.

This is not Tokyo...nor is it my home. Has the battle ended? No. No, if it had, there would be some sign. What was left of the Earth would have changed, for better or worse.

Fuuma and Kamui-kun are not here, and yet this is not a deserted city. Good. Then the battle has not reached so far, perhaps, or ( Read more... )
