WHAT in person
WHERE all over
WHEN 32nd day
NOTES it's a deage post

[it's a beautiful day!

by someone's standards!

which is to say, the entire town is darkly overcast and gloomy, and starting in the morning, there are scattered showers intermittently around the town. it's light enough that it isn't bothersome, barely noticeable, really, but you may find yourself feeling a bit different after you've past through one. like it's taken a few years off your life— quite literally.

or maybe it doesn't effect you at all! and you just want to go for a walk in the rain. you do you.]

I found [read: stole] a few of them, but I didn't know what they were for.

You found a few.

[he lifts his eyebrow like he knows exactly what that phrasing means]

That's strange, people don't usually leave them lying around.

Oh? I must've run into some very irresponsible people, in that case.

You know everything you really need around here is free, right?

[that sounds real fake]

Is that so?

[points up to the apartment complex]

Everyone gets their own apartment, it has two rooms. The fridge refills with some basic rations. There's also free food just out here all the time.

[pauses]

Ah, though, I guess if you need blood that's not as easy...

[there's a flicker of surprise on his face before he's smiling, leaning forward with an elbow on the table.]

And 'I' told you that as well?

How else would I know? There's no blood demons where I'm from, as far as I know.

Anyway, you didn't act like it was a secret.

I suppose it won't be, for much longer.

[Orga blinks, then just gives him a questioning look.]

You know, you never gave me your name. Would you mind introducing yourself?

[even if orga weren't a soft boy who'll do that immediately it strangely feels like he EXTRA wants to do it, in this moment]

[Orga loves introducing himself.]

Aa, right. You 'forgot'.

Orga Itsuka. It's a pleasure.

[handshake?]

[standing up from his chair instead]

Orga, then. Would you follow me for a moment?

[again, it feels like he suddenly extra wants to do this]

[doesn't seem offended that his handshake was refused, getting to his feet to follow]

Do you want to drink my blood, is that what this is about?

You're throwing me out of my rhythm here, you know.

[looking less pleased once they're around the side of the building]

You could just ask. It's not like I've never lost some blood before.

So you just give away blood to any stranger who asks?

[seems to find this funny]

It's not like it comes up that often.

Anyway, I know what it's like to go hungry. And if I don't have to worry about that here, it doesn't really seem fair for you to.

Just don't make it so much I can't walk.

[just stares at him, unbelieving for a few long seconds, crossing his arms]

You're a strange one.

No one's ever offered before...?

Have you ever tried actually asking?

[...]

How are you a real creature that survived past infancy.

[Rude! Doesn't actually seem offended tho ]

Infancy, I don't remember. Just lucky, I guess.

But eventually I found out that if you make friends, and ask them for help, they'll probably help if they can.

So, how are you a real creature that survived without even learning that much?

I didn't.

[and. suddenly pushing orga up against the side of the building rather easily, despite their size difference, hands on his shoulders]

[Orga strongly suspects he can't win a fight with any kind of demon. So it's probably good he doesn't plan to fight.

He does grab Remus' wrists, though, looking a bit wired but not frightened]

Aa, well my sympathies, then. But you're here, now, aren't you?

You can't use that excuse. Everyone dies, but most don't get second chances.

[doesn't reply verbally, though the look of displeasure on his face says enough. he digs his nails into orga's shoulders, just short of painfully, as he leans in close. if orga knew Anything it might strike him as similar to someone going in for a kiss.

except remus angles his head to the side and presses his mouth just under orga's jaw, licking against a vein there.]
