( open )

Date & Time: Several days after the necromorph outbreak
Location: A VR room
Characters: Chrono + Rosette + open!
Summary: Lil bit of coping in-between zombie apocalypses and civil wars, nbd
Warnings: None! KEVIN AND BREAK
Notes: Feel free to tag around also! ♥


[ Chrono doesn't bother to close the door when he finally decides to try one of these rooms for himself. Something about the last few days (weeks) (months) has left him unwilling to stay in enclosed spaces too long, with no obvious path of exist. Too much like a lab or an undead-lined hallway.

But these concerns slowly melt away as he sets about instructing the AI, and the room gives way to a place that isn't a room at all.

Mountains rise up in the distance, framing a blue, clear sky, and a faint breeze rustles the treetops of a thick Michigan forest. Birdcalls ride that wind, and the air smells cleaner, fresher, than any moon base could reasonably boast. Where the blanket of trees ends, a large, glassy lake gleams in the sunlight. He takes care with this part—instructs the AI to make the water a temperature a bit too low to be entirely comfortable for swimming, knowing full well that this won't actually be a deterrent. But it wouldn't be right, otherwise.

He takes his time strolling from one familiar landmark to the next, having the computer make adjustments as necessary. He doesn't miss details, either; for all the times that Rosette brought him to this very place, his eyes had missed nothing. They were wide and all-absorbing, like someone who had been born anew and was discovering the world for the first time.

(Likely because, in all honesty, he had been.)

He stops once he circles back around to the open door—a black silhouette hanging oddly in the landscape, and the only giveaway that none of this is real. It's here that he surveys the scene as a whole, the sum of all its little memory-parts. ]


Perfect.

[ Well. There's still a thing or two missing. ]

... Almost.

Hahaha. [Good Lord, he is terrible at this.] I-I thought it would be cruel to expose such a nice young man to temptation.

[Here, please have some more distracting sandwiches.]
debtor: (DOWN ★ male gaze)

[It's too late, he was tempted the moment he saw them.

OH, BUT MORE SANDWICHES. He grabs one automatically.]
Thank you.

[But doesn't immediately inhale it this time. He stares down at it for a moment.]

I am sorry, about what happened...
senseandcecilbility: (safely)

[personal profile] senseandcecilbility 2013-11-17 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Aw, here. The tea is safe too.]

That was certainly not your fault. Demons tend to cling to the most innocent.

[The poor baby. Kevin wishes to exorcise him so badly.]
debtor: (LISTEN ★ i still don't get it)

[personal profile] debtor 2013-11-17 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
[YOU ARE TOO KIND, MR. PRIEST he takes the tea, too.

It's not a demon, he wants to say (although it might as well be), but he can get into technicalities later. He glances to the side.]


You're familiar with... beings like that?
senseandcecilbility: (It is the law)

[personal profile] senseandcecilbility 2013-11-17 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[It certainly felt demonic and smitable to him.]

They seem to be attracted to my young master.

[It is quite annoying, if you ask him. >]
debtor: (WIDE ★ what has been seen)

[personal profile] debtor 2013-11-17 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Your young master attracts demons...? [ what ]
senseandcecilbility: (phantom pain)

[personal profile] senseandcecilbility 2013-11-17 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately, that is quite the case, though he is not to blame.

[It is just that some demons want Elector-senpai to pay attention to them so they can be chosen the next ruler of hell.]
debtor: (WIDE ★ cake or death?)

[personal profile] debtor 2013-11-18 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. [ he's wondering if he should ask why. maybe not. ] I'm sorry, that... sounds like a difficult situation. But you're able to handle it?
senseandcecilbility: (The meadows where we play)

[personal profile] senseandcecilbility 2013-11-18 11:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Not quite, and that is a source of perpetual concern and sleepless nights.]

Naturally. I would be a terrible butler if I could not.
debtor: (LISTEN ★ clearly now)

[personal profile] debtor 2013-11-24 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
[So he's a priest and a butler. That explains 'young master.'] I'm glad.

[ and on a tangentially related note, ] May I ask you, about your sword?
senseandcecilbility: (That's not what you think)

[personal profile] senseandcecilbility 2013-11-25 12:40 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[Oh no, the poor child must be so traumatized. What has he done?]

Ah, you must be referring to this.

[He reaches for his pocket and presents a simple crystal ring tied to a silver chain.]
debtor: (GLANCE ★ big in japan)

[personal profile] debtor 2013-11-26 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Fortunately, he seems more curious than anything. What, exactly, was the sword?

Or... ring.]
Ah.

[A ring that turns into a sword? Not actually a difficult concept to grasp, when your own arm turns into a sword.]

Is that from your world?

[If only Kevin knew...]

Oh no. In my world, I would never be able to heal anyone without help. [A process called miracle.] This is my sentient weapon. Except that it does not work as a weapon at all...
