Who: Kiryuu and ANYONE
When: Day 19, Morning
Where: Licorice Cabin and into the Lounge Car/Dining Area

[ Kiryuu has been gone for just under a week, which... is probably alarming, but maybe not as alarming as when he comes out, demonic tail lashing anda sort of feral look on his face. He's not looking to talk, and he starts lurching toward the nearest person as soon as he sees them.

He starts out in Licorice's car but he's kinda slow to start, so he might have made it out! Either way, he begins to get a little better after a bite and can be found laying on the floor in the dining car, probably a little bloodier than anyone has a rightto be when there isn't a trauma game. ]

[Yep, he manages to get the place where her shoulder connects to her neck- she freezes, rigid, only a choked gasp escaping her throat. Ah, she was unprepared for this- and the only spell she could use to fight back might hurt him if he's too out of his wits to know when he's hurt.]

[ If she's not going to fight him off of her, he is just going to take a chunk of flesh, not enough like a wild animal- he isn't killing his prey first, luckily(?) for her. If she doesn't stop him after he takes a bite though, he will go in for another. ]

[It hurts terribly, and she screams, and this is absolutely not the context she wanted a cute boy biting her in

Caution is thrown to the wind, as she activates the spell in her mind and grabs his torso, and some of his life energy is ripped away and siphoned into her, and she tries to shove him off.]

[ It's actually the screaming that gets his attention first, as after a taste of blood, Kiryuu is obviously still in there and he's very against this kind of thing, and when she used that attack on him, it's enough to let him stumble back, his body shaking a little. ]

...Don't want to...

[Oh. She must have hurt him. And yet she floats away (the flying spell still active), wary that he will hurt her again.

Her shoulder is burning with pain- she grabs it, the blood soaking into her dress. ]

H-Hey, pull it together!

[ His tail flicks as he looks up at her, wincing. He's still very much in a feral posture, but he's not lunging any more. ]

Gh...! I... S-...

[ What he wants to say is "sorry", or something about staying back away from him, but instead he just swears. ]

...Shit. Wh-...!

[Ah, he's coming back- at least a little bit. The pain and adrenaline are making her focus hazy, but she's been able to stay calm in worse situations- to say nothing of the frenzied whisperings of the Abyss in her soul that she must endure.

She begins to sing in a high, gentle, but somewhat shaky voice.]

♪Once upon a time I was falling in love
but now I'm only falling apart
there's nothing I can do
a total eclipse of the heart♪

[ Kiryuu immediately starts crying when she's singing. Good Lord he's so far gone that he's being sung to, like music may be a spell to seal him.

But like as soon as he's calmed down enough(did it work???), he can't help but laugh. ]

♪ Once upon a time there was light in my life
Now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the Heart ♪

[She smiles, despite the pain, her eyes tearing up a bit.]

Welcome back.

...I'm so sorry...

[She shakes her head.]

It wasn't something you did purposefully. You probably haven't eaten in a while right? Um, I absorb people's life energies, so I'm not actually very different.

I...

But now what am I supposed to do...?

[ It might not have been on purpose this time, but if he knows about it and lets it happen again... ]

...Are you okay?

[She doesn't know exactly how to answer him. Because even though she's monstrous herself, even though she's driven to consume life, it's a different condition. So she can only give simple practical advice.]

Hmm. Well, you could try eating some of the meat raw? Or buy some. You did without it for a few days.

I'm, um, I just have to bandage this up for now, and then I'll heal myself at the Pods.
