at once short of life, and long of sorrow.
[You are dead.
Well, obviously. You remember how you died. It was...not fun, to say the least. But hey, at least you're off that ship, right?
Except...you don't know exactly where you are now. It seems like a house, but if it is, it's...a work in progress. Most of the rooms are empty, and your steps echo up through the marble columns and down faint mosaics on the tiled floor. The few windows you find have a green light gleaming through them; you can't really see anything beyond the eerie light.
It feels like you're in a temple of some kind. The columns and mosaics seem to indicate it is something like that-it's certainly reminiscent of something out of an ancient culture, perhaps even one you're familiar with. For some reason, though, it's clear someone-or something-lives here. One of the rooms to the south is stuffed with pizza boxes. Another, larger room has a makeshift futon in one of the corners. There are imprints of multiple footsteps all through the dusty floors as you look around, many of them leading to a small alcove to the west. And-
and there's a giant van. Just. hanging out there. Completely out of place with the seemingly ancient decor. And inside, there is the sound of light snoring.
Ok then. You're apparently not alone in death, after all.]

[HE LONGS FOR TEA....AND FRIENDS.....MOSTLY TEA]

Everything around here makes me feel pretty apathetic. We died, I'm with people I barely know, the only food we have is pizza which makes me feel lazy anyway...nothing is happening!
I'm in a goddamn rut. If we'd at least genuinely, like, bitten it bitten it, fine, but we've just been stuck here with NOTHING TO DO!
[He stomps his foot. Is anger going to work? He's not sure.]
I don't even know if mine is useful, anyway! I just can dodge things!
no subject
[He understands that frustration, that anger. It's kept him moving, kept his fires burning cold, but Kaito was young and warm with all the impetuousness of youth.]
And you would be surprised - in the right hands, Kaito, even a seemingly 'useless' ability can change the course at the right time.
[He walks forward, placing a hand on Kaito's shoulder.]
All you have to do...is try. Unless, of course, you're truly content to stay down here, separated from Akane?
1/2
[He breathes in. He's mulling it over. He's sick--so SICK-- of all of this. He clenches his fist, but it's finally the mention of Akane's name...]
2/2
[He's at least angry. That's plain to see. But as for how he harnesses it...that's to be seen.]
LET'S DO IT! LET'S GO RIGHT NOW! GET THIS DONE WITH!
no subject
[He claps Kaito on the back, a bit roughly.]
Now, while it's still there! While your rage is at a fever pitch, and your desire to leave ever present! Call out to your power inside of yourself! You are the luminary of the stars, are you not?! Then do not let this underworld keep you from the heavens!

....I meant call internally, Kaito. In your mind.

There is strength there, great strength. Will to succeed. Will to rise again.
So. Who shall wait on the command of the king?]

Time, time, time...]

Thete's that slowing effect he's more familiar with. But like this, it seems a little easier to mold - to use less defensively, and more on the offense.
To, say...stop a target in its tracks?]

[He'll just nod, given that he trusts Kaito.]

Time, bow to me.
The king has arrived.
Your shit is wrecked.]
