026 - Maybe sparrow you should wait (The hawks alight 'til morning)

[Misaki appears in the bar wearing casual clothes, her hair stuffed up under a baseball cap. The side of her face is bruised and scratched. She limps over behind the bar, pulls a clean rag from one of the drawers and dumps some cheap whiskey over it before gingerly unbuttoning the topmost button of her shirt and pulling back the collar. There's a rather ugly gash underneath, bleeding sluggishly. Those with experience in such areas will recognize it as a weevil bite. She dabs at it gently with the cloth, hissing a little.]

What the hell was that?

Thank you.

[He nods and starts to work on her injuries. It looks kind of like the marks Ianto had a while ago (http://community.livejournal.com/realityshifted/184796.html), but Ryotarou is kind of naive and believed it when Ianto told him they were dog-bites. Um.]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Lets him work and doesn't offer any answers. :\ SORRY DUDE, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ASK.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Waits a minute or two while he bandages, but... curiosity gets him eventually.] What happened, Misaki-san...?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

A very unhappy dog got off its leash while I was following up a lead on something.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Nods a bit. He figured on the dog thing everyone, you're such liarsss but he's still curious.] A lead?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[WELL THEY'RE USED TO KEEPING SECRETS, WHAT CAN YOU DO.] About the potential consequences of a reality merge.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Empathize with the secret-keeping?] A reality merge? Do you think your reality is...?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I know it is. With several people, actually, the most recent being Ianto.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Ianto-san? What changed, then..?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

An... exchange of fauna.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Animals? [Head... tilt.]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I got some of Ianto's, yes.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

He.. didn't get any of yours?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

None of my animals, so far as I know.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Does that mean... merges can be only one-way?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

No. I don't think so, anyway. He... got some people. From my reality, it seems.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

People?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Just some NPCs Misaki sighs and rubs her face.] Yes, some people. No one I know personally, but there you are.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Then... how do you know they're from your reality..?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[She growls.] Call it a wild guess. [Misaki closes her eyes and digs deep into the wellspring of her dwindling patience.] They look Japanese. Ianto's reality... doesn't have a Japan. And he isn't particularly close to anyone else from Japan here, that he knows of. It makes sense. [Ttly leaving out the Contractor part lol]


[[FFFF SORRY. Lost the tag.]]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

A-ah... alright. [Goes back to bandaging all .____. Didn't mean to make her angry. D:]

(ooc: It's fiiine~)

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Sigh.] I'm not angry with you, Ryotarou. I just don't want you to worry. Ianto and I are both well equipped to deal with the consequences of this.

[Okay, maybe Ianto's a bit better equipped than she is, but...]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Silent for a moment, then he nods.] Still... Equipped or not, you did get hurt. So... I'm going to worry. At least a little.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I'll be fine. But thank you.
