Event Fourteen.





Roses bloom and cease to be,
But we shall the Christ-child see.





t's very, very cold. It's cold enough that you'll see your breath fog in the air before you, that goosebumps appear on your arms and legs and a chill goes up your spine. You're inside, in a huge palace with sweeping arches and rooms, but it's no real shelter from the cold -- it's just as cold inside as out.

There's a throne room, a kitchen, various rooms and even a dungeon to be explored -- and outside, a frigid, frozen garden, a lake that's naturally frozen over, and miles, and miles of snow as far as the eye can see.

But be careful while you explore. The snowflake soldiers are naturally dangerous, but even more dangerous than that...there's that creeping sensation of numbness going up your arm, a pang through your chest, and the slow, slow freezing from the inside out.

Try not to leave any of your friends behind, okay? Even if they might look a bit too uncannily like some of the statues hanging around for decoration when they're frozen over.

you think they'll start a fist fight

[ Yata's doing a dead-on impersonation of Fushimi, but Fushimi doesn't feel annoyed -- he just feels worried. Which, actually, makes him annoyed, because who the hell does Yata think he is, making Fushimi worry about him? Fushimi has a very limited amount of emotional energy and he can't spend it all worrying! ]

Why didn't you? [ Yata's never the sort of person to turn his back on a fight... he's usually the one leading the pack, ready to go before anyone else even has their coat on. ]

without a doubt

Because you did.

[ Obviously. ]

And you got rid of it. Who cares how it happened?

Since when do you turn down a fight? [ And then, because Fushimi is worried, he gets petty and he goes for the jugular -- if Yata isn't going to fight the snow knights, then at least Yata can fight him, right? It's not self-sabotage if they make up at the end, right? ]

Mikoto-san wouldn't recognize you.
skatebird: (ʙᴜᴛ this won't)

[ That does the trick. There's anger in Yata's eyes, white-hot and boiling over.

And then it stops doing the trick. The tension and anger bleed out of Yata's frame and expression, leaving nothing but dull annoyance behind. Still, it's not like he's just shrugging it off.

Who cares what a traitor thinks?

[ Fushimi is actually so startled he leans backwards a little. He was expecting the anger -- he was expecting Yata's voice to go high, to yell about Mikoto, to grab Fushimi by the collar and shake him until they were both scrabbling and fighting and wasting all the energy they should be using to keep warm.

They're past that, aren't they? They're past Fushimi being called a traitor and Yata using it like a weapon; they're past this kind of defeated, dead annoyance.

This reminds Fushimi too much of Yata before HOMRA had a king again, and he doesn't like it. ]


What the hell, Misaki? [ Fushimi is going for anger, but if you look underneath the sharp edges, he mostly just sounds hurt. ]
skatebird: (ᴊᴜsᴛ don't)

[personal profile] skatebird 2018-11-30 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
What?

[ Now that the moment has passed, there's nothing left in Yata's expression. He's just bland and flat and cold - literally cold, actually. The air around him isn't as warm as usual, and his breath isn't visible when he exhales. ]

You started it.

i finally have an excuse to use this very specific icon

[personal profile] dualtone 2018-11-30 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
What's wrong with you...? [ It sounds a little less alarmed, this time, and more -- puzzled, because Fushimi has transcended the mere mortal realm of "worry for my boyfriend" and launched himself straight into crisis mode. He can do anything. He could punch his captain. He can solve a mystery of Yata being weird. It's fine.

Fushimi reaches forward, hesitating for only a second before he puts his hand against Yata's forehead, like he's taking a temperature -- except Yata has the opposite of a fever, especially for someone from HOMRA.

Fushimi, a little alarmed, goes straight for Yata's shirt: hope you don't mind that getting pulled down at the collar so Fushimi can make sure that a certain tattoo is intact. ]
skatebird: (sᴀʟᴛ in the wound)

hey look, and excuse to use THIS icon!

[ Much like when he'd been called out Yata's reaction is understated. He's a little annoyed and grumbles a little about suddenly being manhandled, but does nothing to stop him. He can't even care that the mood suddenly changed so much.

As for Yata, he's positively icy to the touch. His HOMRA mark is still there, as vibrant as, and while the tattoo itself is decidedly more warm than the skin around it, it's really only a normal human sort of warmth.

Saru, what?

You're acting weird! [ Fushimi sounds a little offended by it. There's only room for one icy asshole in their relationship, and it's definitely Fushimi. He touches the HOMRA mark as if to reassure himself that at least that's still warm -- Yata might be acting weird, but the mark from Mikoto, from Anna, that's still there.

Fushimi doesn't touch his own, but he's very aware of it, which isn't exactly unusual.

Fushimi pauses, trying to think -- he's never been one for fairy tales, he doesn't exactly know what all of this means but he has an idea. ]


Did you break your mirror?
skatebird: (ᴅɪᴅ you have to do this)

[personal profile] skatebird 2018-11-30 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ What the hell is Fushimi talking about? Yata honestly doesn't know for a moment, but then understanding clicks into place. ]

Course I did. That thing was annoying.

[ ........... ]

Why?

[ He used the last bit of his emotional energy on that brief moment of curiosity. ]

You're probably cursed, you idiot. [ That's what happens, isn't it -- you do something in this place and you get some sort of curse or some sort of reward, and sometimes not in the order you'd normally expect. Fushimi's frustration leaks out, but at least now he has a theory, has something to go off of that isn't just "Yata is broke, how fix". ]
