Zero Heart: The Sequel

[hunting]

[Ace is probably experiencing a very violent and jarring drop that will deposit him (none too gently) right in the center of that familiar river of blood. Which means that, yep, that nagging sensation at the back of Ace's throat is back.

Alright, then.

[picking Ichiru up again, and heading for the Sun Dorm.]

[hunting]

[Yuuki looks less than comfortable, as she watches them go...]

[deadofknight]

[whatever, true heart already ok'd everything. to the Sun Dorm!]

[hunting]

[You are indeed back in the Sun Dorm. It is as it always is, with apparitions of the past meandering by, photographs strewn across the table and the closet with the closed box in the back. As with before, it is slightly better lit during Ace's last heart visit.]

[deadofknight]

[don't want to leave Ichiru out where he can roll around causing trouble :|b or in the closet where the box is...

maybe I leash him to something that'll keep him in one place? are there sturdy things Ichiru could be leashed to?]

[hunting]

[Not really sure Ichiru is going to poke around with his brother's suicidal feelings... Or roll around for that matter...

But hey, there's a couch?]

[deadofknight]

[let's see...he stuffed his hammerspace with spare clothes. pulling out some strips of cloth now and looping a rough leash+collar around Ichiru's neck]

[hunting]

[Except that said leash-collar is now around Ichiru's wrist instead. Oh, and Ace probably feels some frigid wind (the same coldness as he felt while restraining Ichiru back with True Heart) from out of nowhere slash across his cheek. Ichiru is regarding him with total disdain, although it's pretty damn clear he can't do much about the restraints.]

[deadofknight]

[SIGHS. you're lucky you're cute, Zero. scooting the sofa away from the wall a bit and then carrying Ichiru over to dump on it unceremoniously.

[hunting]

[That is a thing that happens. Ichiru is just going to continue to look as bored as possible. Because.]

[deadofknight]

[looping a length of knotted cloth--adding on more strips of cloth as needed--over the back of the sofa, angled towards the edge where he can more easily tuck the end of the cloth-strip-rope under the sofa and out the front]

[hunting]

[Well, Ace has clearly created a twin leash. Ichiru is now looking at him with pretty much a 'wtf' expression.]

[deadofknight]

[ties it to Ichiru's other wrist. now Ichiru is tied to the sofa. 'w']

I guess this'll have to do...

[hunting]

[Good... job... ?

Ichiru will just stare at the wrist, somewhat annoyed now.]

[deadofknight]

[what if I blindfold you, though?]

[hunting]

[Ace will have to be quick if he wants to do that before Ichiru notices enough to interfere... And it's questionable whether that will really hold once Ace is gone but...

Also, really feeling that hunger now...

[deadofknight]

[kind of wishing he'd popped Ichiru's eyeballs out now instead of blindfolding... 8(...]

[oh well, that's about all he can do, so. heading for the door.]

[hunting]

[He'll probably get wind-pushed through it, as the door slams shut behind him, from the force rather than a subsequent action. And yeah, it'll be really damn cold.]

[deadofknight]

[lol]

[heading back downstairs to find Yuuki~ still hasn't dealt with the cut on his cheek, just let it dry and scab over.]

[hunting]

[Yuuki is running toward him, possibly having heard the slam.]

"Ace! What's going on?"

[deadofknight]

Nothing's going on.

[hunting]

[Stopping and frowning before approaching more slowly...]

"Your face... Let me see."

[deadofknight]

Don't tell me you're surprised he tried something.

[hunting]

"He wasn't really in the position to. I thought he'd given up.

... I can help, if you let me."

[deadofknight]

Go ahead.
