Summary: Catch-All for the Break


A - The Doctor is out [Network]

I will not be meeting with clients in person until further notice. If you must make an inquiry for some medicine, use the journal to contact me. I will let you know when it's ready to be picked up.

-Disciple

B- A nightly stroll in the forest

[Anyone who happens to be wandering around or living in the forest, might hear a disturbance during the nighttime. It doesn't occur every night, but when it does, it sounded like someone was cutting down the trees. There's also a low rumbling like thunder that occasionally accompanied the sound afterwards, like a rhythmic thumping. Looking into the source, they will find themselves at the edge of the Index. The ground appeared unstable, with trees uprooted and large boulders that have been split into smaller pieces scattering about the area.

This warzone was only found along the edge of the Index, and every few nights, a new area would turn into a disaster area. If someone manages to catch the person in the act, it turns out to be the Disciple, or was it the Disciple? The low rumbling noise was from him ramming trees into the barrier or throwing boulders at it. Whatever he could pick up and throw, which was almost anything, he was directing them at the barrier. A few times he was crazy enough to punch the barrier.] I need...to go... [If you manage to get in close enough, you can hear him mumbling about going somewhere. It doesn't seem like he's quite all there himself. Are those pajamas he's wearing?]

[This post is for the entirety of the break, so feel free to poke me on Discord or silentdrifterz if there's something else you want to play out instead or make your own starter!]

[Wait, did Disciple, just—]

So you can hear me?

[He'll at least stop moving, but now he's still in CONCERNED mode.]

[chippedsoul]

[He nods, still keeping his eyes closed.] Just you. [He could, elaborate what he means. Eventually.]

[hatesviolence]

...Just me?

[Yeah, Shizuo isn't really getting it right away.]

[chippedsoul]

[He hums quietly.] No Hyde.

[hatesviolence]

[...



Ah.

It took a lot longer than it should have, but Shizuo finally understands. It also makes him wonder if he somehow knocked Hyde out in a sense, but he's not exactly about to try and repeat it right away. It will be something for him to consider next time (and unfortunately there will always be a next time).]

...You'll be all right then?

[On closer inspection it does seem that Disciple is a bit more relaxed... Maybe he should let him be?]

[chippedsoul]

[Will he? Probably not, but he'll take whatever peace he's given. He probably shouldn't keep laying on the floor though, but he's not making any attempt to move anytime soon. It wouldn't be the first time he slept somewhere strange.]

[hatesviolence]

[...Well if he's feeling okay.]

Should at least move somewhere comfortable.

[chippedsoul]

[His response to that is to stay right where he was.] Fix the door. [He mutters.]

[hatesviolence]

[...Just a small sigh.]

Yeah, I'll fix it.

[chippedsoul]

[He hums quietly.] Thank you. [Was that actually a smile on his face while he's laying on the floor? Maybe.]

[hatesviolence]

[Shizuo had started to move to tend to the door, maybe go to the kitchen to bring Disciple some water. But as he glances back at the words of thanks, he thinks he catches what he thinks is a smile.

....Huh.

He'll look away a little thoughtfully.]

No problem.

[It's all he says before he makes his way out. And yes, he will be bringing Disciple some water because he should have that at least for whenever he gets up. Otherwise, he'll work on the door. If Disciple is still down there when he's done, he'll just leave things at that.]
