Fuda # 12 [Action/video]

[idealism]

[Tsuzuki looks at the camera, slightly troubled. His furry ear twitches as he turns towards the door. He goes to check on it, apparently whining softly.]

Did you hear that?

[ooc: Tsuzuki's dressed as a puppy. I will be responding with puppybegsyou instead of purpledemoneyes sometimes.]

...Magic? [He tugs on the string, and both ends bounce. The way into the mist looks like it's illuminated, while the other one looks very unfriendly.]

[akumanotrill]

Which one should we follow then?

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[The left one suddenly goes tight, as if someone's tugging on it. Tsuzuki's ears perk up.]

That one!

[akumanotrill]

... are you sure? Who could be tugging at it? It could be a trap...

[puppybegsyou.livejournal.com]

We can't stay here. Besides, it might be someone who needs help!

[akumanotrill]

... I don't know about that, Tsuzuki.

[puppybegsyou.livejournal.com]

But you heard the screams, right! And you can see the smoke?

[akumanotrill]

... what screams? What smoke...?

[puppybegsyou.livejournal.com]

What do you mean? It's right over there, by the fire and the people running out of it! Those people are hurt!

[akumanotrill]

... there's nothing there, Tsuzuki...

[puppybegsyou.livejournal.com]

But it is! You must've gotten smoke in your eyes. Come, I'll show you! [Tug tug tug!]

[akumanotrill]

[refuses to budge] No, Tsuzuki.

[puppybegsyou.livejournal.com]

[He whimpers and looks at Hijiri pleadingly.] But they're dying! If we won't help it'll be our fault!

[akumanotrill]

But I really don't see or hear anything! It could be a trap!

[puppybegsyou.livejournal.com]

But what if it's not and those people don't get help?

[akumanotrill]

...

... you're really sure about this?

[puppybegsyou.livejournal.com]

[If he wasn't adamant about staying by Hijiri's side, his hallucinations would have made him run already. He pushes his hands against his ears to quiet the screaming around him.]

[akumanotrill]

Tsuzuki... [takes his hand] Come on. Let's follow the other thread.

[puppybegsyou.livejournal.com]

[Tsuzuki pulls Hijiri into a desperate hug. Right now the teenager is his lifeline, so he merely nods weakly and does what he's told.]

[akumanotrill]

Tsuzuki...? [hugs back] What's wrong? Come on. It's going to be alright... [and carefully leads Tsuzuki back to the house]

[puppybegsyou.livejournal.com]

[Tsuzuki lets himself be led by Hijiri, whose devil costume is only too appropriate given Tsuzuki's own nightmarish hallucinations.]

[Luckily, the mist begins to evaporate as they get closer to the house, which makes the visions fade.] ...They've stopped screaming.

[akumanotrill]

[and pulls him back into the safety of the house] ... they have? Are you feeling better now?

[puppybegsyou.livejournal.com]

Mhm. [Tsuzuki gives the door one lingering look, wiping his face with the back of his hand.] Are you?

[akumanotrill]

Yeah, I think so.

[puppybegsyou.livejournal.com]

Do you think they're still waiting in the mist?
