Heareth the marinere Voices sweet, from far and near, Ever singing in his ear, “Here is rest and peace for thee!” | |

t's a dark night, and the sounds of feet in the darkness are further dampened and hidden by even more magic, as they are lured away by the soft sounds of dreams that are too good to be true, leaving the Town much, much emptier than when it began.[Shouto peers over them, watching as the siren dives back down. That takes care of that... for now, anyway. At least they have a little bit of breathing room to work around. Though the island doesn't exactly inspire confidence.]
I've never fought fish demons either. One of my classmate's has a power called "frog". But it's not the same thing.

I got the idea, but I haven't done it. [Just because he watched it doesn't mean he can replicate the steps exactly. He's not that type of genius.]
I can't control just any fire. It has to be the one I created. [Otherwise he'd be terrorizing his father every time moment they were near each other. Shouto would just turn off his flames. Constantly.]

You're right! We're going to save everybody!
[It's working to help his confidence. There is a part of him that's scared to be faced by such monsters, then there's part of him that is using the anger to help him push forward. When she set off the spell, Ryuu balled his fist, ran forward and punched the siren in the face. He had a quick wave of surprise as he looked at his fist. He did it! He punched something and he didn't accidentally hurt someone in the process!
Ryuu looked over at her.]
Let's get to the next one!

We'll have to search both of those areas anyway, map or no map. That's the job for those of us who've been left behind, right?
[Okuni's not a big fan of using the 'we' word, unless Baren is involved in some way, but... it is a 'we' situation, and maybe she just wants to remind Dave that he doesn't have to be the only person running in the rain.]

And I don't know about you, but catching a cold right after a kidnapping is just adding insult to injury!
[ So let's definitely not stand here dripping. ]
[ So let's definitely not stand here dripping. ]
[Of course he does, he wants to say, but he holds back, bringing his hand to his mouth.]
What does he use them for?
What does he use them for?
Right. That whole thing.
[What a mess. There are sirens fighting some of the others, now, and Guren watches.]
Yeah, I'm aware. [Well, some people like Michael snuck on, and there might be more, but for the most part.] I organized the rafts as best as I could before we came here.
Why?

[IMC RYING ASH????????
What a prompt answer though... Admirable!!]
That would sound more impressive if you didn't look so terrible.
[Okuni's not feeling her usual Great self either, but she'd like to think she's in a much better shape than town dad. Maybe she just has a better immune system than him? Maybe age is a factor???]
How sick did you feel when you woke up the day everyone went missing? Did you get worse or is it pretty much the same?

Ggh—
[Well, that's unpleasant, but it's not like he hasn't been stabbed through the chest or torso or shoulder before, Crowley, so it could be a lot worse. His side, though— there are plenty of organs there. He'd be bleeding out if he were really human.
As it is, he just feels like he's going to and gets pretty close right now. He's so ill, he feels like he's going to pass out right here, but it's sheer stubborn willpower keeping him conscious, as usual.]
Just do it. [He chokes that out. It hurts, just yank it out lord please]

[Guren just looks... tired. Beyond the illness that's weakening him to the core, there's an exhaustion that's hard to explain. He takes way too much on his own shoulders, even with loads of people here all working together, no one blaming anyone. He still thinks he could have done something better to prevent all of this. Gotten here sooner. Done more.
You know, the usual.
But he can at least offer a crooked smile back to Damian. That brief concern didn't suit him, so he's gotta make sure that goes away, right?]
Yeah, yeah. Lucky for you, I'm not a hero. [He believes this?? But he's so fucking full of it??] Scram. I'll see you later.

[Okuni would like to think that saying Izuku's name is having an affect on Shouto, since she gears up for anotHER ATTEMPT
She absolutely cannot let Shouto get eaten by sirens -- she cares about him, despite what she might say out loud. She also hasn't forgotten her time in the forest, as much as she's used to hearing words of censure back home -- she doesn't want to prove those voices right by failing Shouto in his hour of need.]
Izuku is waiting for you, so wake up already!!
[speaking of izuku, PLEASE FORGIVE HER
as Okuni locks her arms around Shouto's waist and attempts to boDILY LIFT HIM IN THE AIR AND SUPLEX HIM INTO THE SURF,
THERE!!!]

[While being reminded of Izuku should probably work, it absolutely doesn't. The siren's call is a powerful thing and Shouto's already lost to it once before.
HOWEVER, he's so out of it that he doesn't notice Okuni's arms around him or that he's being lifted UNTIL HE'S SUPLEXED.
Once he hits the water, the spell seems to be broken. He's spluttering on the ocean water and trying to wrench himself upright.]
What the hell!

[Actually, he told Kaoru, who told Akira. Word gets around, in this tiny town...
He "used to be" a lion though, huh? Interesting. Maybe Morgana's hope that he'll be a human one day isn't so futile after all.
Akira swallows down some more of the apple before he answers.]
It was some kind of weird... bird. Didn't taste very good.
[A drink of water.]
Zelda and I caught some fish.

[He kicks off another one and before it can fall to the ground, jabs his sword through its skull.]
Already on it. Get moving, and don't slow down. Even if it looks like I might fall behind, I'll be right there with you.
[He's real fast, so he intends to do just that.]

It made the most sense. But now I'm wondering if they might be in an alternate reality. You know, like the time we all separated by color.
[Another unpleasant time, when they had no idea what was happening to anyone.]

[Akira's eyes widen, and he glances up at Lupin, mouth parting slightly. He knows Lupin has said many times that he doesn't really believe they're related, but he seems open to the idea; just outright saying something like that though is a bit of a step up. He feels that little pang of guilt, again, that it isn't quite what he thinks it is.
But he's still touched. And he doesn't want Lupin to feel bad.]
No, it's... I shouldn't have followed the voices out. It's not anyone else's fault.
[There's a pause, and a sigh as he looks down at his hands.]
I'm... sorry I'm such a reckless great-grandson.

[You know, he can't even question the storyteller thing when it just sounds like a Dave thing, somehow? Were they talking to keep their minds off of things? He has no idea, but he's so hyper focused on healing...]
I hope so, too. [He pinches at the bridge of his nose.]
I'll be here too, just to make sure everyone's out and safe.

[Oh. Well then they would be friends.
Moving in together is pretty serious though! On some level, Akira is impressed, since these two are around his age.]
Oh. Cool.
[Should he say congratulations? But if they're living together maybe it isn't that new? Instead he'll just awkwardly poke at the fire with a stick.]

[Yeah Guren is Holt honestly. I'll accept this.]
...It's been getting worse. Haven't you noticed it, too?
[Maybe it's because she's newer, or just, you know, the way that she is. Guren gives her a studying look and then turns back to the others working around them. Everyone looks some level of sick.]
The longer everyone's been gone, the worse it gets. I'm not the only one who's sick here. [Even if he is town dad levels, shh] Everyone's pushing through this right now.

[Everything bothers him about the Archangel, but it bothers him that Dextera never asked, or at least never pushed beyond accepting that, too. Maybe he's being unfair, though. He drops his hand again, back to petting Leliel.]
Does it do anything strange to you, when you touch it? Or is it different for you?
