[ And it definitely shows in his voice. ] I'm in my apartment right now.
no subject
[It doesn't take much time before Komaeda is at Hinata's apartment. He'd been on the end of his rope when he'd tried to contact him that last time. So he hadn't been that far at all. He uses the hospital issued cane to rap a tune on his door.]
Hinata. It's me.
no subject
So they had both worried about each other. Hinata... he knows the reason why and he can't help but feel something twist in his chest. It hurts, but he can't exactly comprehend the reasoning behind that pain. He's physically alright, so it's just emotional pain.
But when he hears the knocking on the door, the familiar voice, Hinata immediately hops off of his bed, not even bothering with the sheets as he quickly opens it, revealing the somewhat mentally exhausted Hinata. Who seems to have a bit of a bed head. ]
Feel free to come in, Komaeda.
[ The room's the same as always; it's a little bit bigger to accomidate more people, but... it's the same general layout as the island one. Plus the couch he was given. ]
no subject
All his anxiety and worry color the air in a swirl of snow and the ozone scent of an approaching storm. It only lasts a minute before he has himself under control. Yes. He had worried. Once he calms down he steps inside with a heavy sigh.] I think we both should try talking to Aiada about it. Peromei much as my friend is a sweet and helpful sort, might not react well.
And at present, Aiada is our closest source to anything that comes from below.
no subject
Alright. Even if we don't find out about what those creatures are, we might be able to find out other information, too.
no subject
The city have to do more repairs to the sewers. I took a look over there and...they clearly came from underground. There was no trail of energy I could see. Or evidence left beyond the damage.
[He peers at Hinata again as he adds as if just continuing to discuss the problem.] Did you sleep at all, last night?
no subject
And I slept a little [ not at all ] after I heard that.
[ Well, at least he's a better liar to Komaeda's face now. ]
no subject
...if you want to get some more sleep, I could stay and keep an eye out for you. If that would help. [Or he could nap too. Depends really on what Hinata wants. Neither of them has slept all that much.]
no subject
[ Or rather, he couldn't get himself to sleep even if he tried. It's the first time that something like that has happened, however; he wasn't usually the type, considering that he's slept through a lot of horrible shit. ]
What about you?
no subject
Ah, well. I could take a rest for a while. I've been active all morning. [He's loosely saying that he rushed about to aid the people and trying to find him at the same time.] Until we know who the target was. There's little to find.
no subject
Yeah. ]
Guess so. Do you think they might go after more people?
[ Or was this a one time deal. ]
no subject
I don't think we have to worry about people being picked off. It specifically went after a killer.
[Komaeda makes eye contact with Hinata as he speaks his expression oddly neutral. It falls away as he gets up from the couch. He walks over to the bed and speaks low. He looks worried.]
It ate him.
no subject
[ That's it. That's his reply as he just looks at Komaeda flat faced. If he wasn't awake earlier, he sure as hell is now. ]
no subject
Seeing as he's killed repeatedly in this world I assume this was the world's reply. It's a theory but it holds merit. People like us are not going to be targets unless we resume our bloody history. Which, neither of us will.
no subject
[ He replies flatly, narrowing his eyes. He didn't ask for him to expand on what actually happened; it was a rhetorical "what". ]
So you're saying if someone starts killing people in this world. . . that's going to happen? [ Of course he knows that neither of them will. Nor Sonia, as well. But there's something he has to ask about. ] If that's the case. What will happen to indirect killers?
[ He wonders if Junko will kill directly at this point; instead using other people to kill for her. ]
no subject
Her first goal to stir up despair in herself. It's impersonal and boring to her to wrack up a body count. But she has possibly caught the eye of whatever it is that is declaring war on those who kill.
My investigation is ah, not complete yet.
no subject
Or would they include the ringleader who masterminded it? Of course, I'm using Enoshima as an example since she was the first person I thought of, but it's possible that someone else might have thought of this too, right?
no subject
Of course her case is rather unique but, the fact remains. Whatever this is it is acting after a period of inactivity or finally running out of patience. [He turns so he's facing Hinata and folds his lega under him. He had fucked up beyond reason against Enoshima but, he'd learned that much.]
We'll have to see what the man who was taken says when he returns. That's all I can do for now, I suppose. Other than monitor the situation for any further activity and discuss it with the Arehtei and Enforcers. ...I'm reluctant to say it to anyone but the ones I trust however.
no subject
[ Because he was slightly concerned about that. ]
But thanks for telling me. I really appreciate it.
no subject
...Do you mind if I borrow your couch for a while? I'm more exhausted than I thought I was.
