when the cicadas stop crying

[skiesofhell.livejournal.com]

[There's a new Sora in the mix.

Yet this one appears to be covered in blood with a giant cleaver stabbed through his chest - deep gouges all over his body, as if he'd been fodder for the buzzards for some time.

And then it's gone. He's clean of blood, save for what's splattered on the floor around him - and merely stares around in wide-eyed astonishment at the new development.}

... This is new.

Sora.

{dying of boredom. ;; you're a savior}

I, oh, um, what are you doing here? I mean... *glances down, realizes he's still all covered in gore* U-um... this is...

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

{w-what, so much fail. :( no dying allowed.}

....You...live? Are you an immortal?

[skiesofhell.livejournal.com]

{;; okay. phoenix downs are on hand}

I... no.. I mean...

... Not exactly.

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

{ossum}

...What does "not exactly" mean, then.

[skiesofhell.livejournal.com]

... I've died one thousand and two hundred times now.

But.. Roxas...

{he gives a bittersweet smile} It's always June... in Hinamizawa.

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

...[c-clueless fairyboy is clueless.]

What do you mean..?

[skiesofhell.livejournal.com]

I die near the end of June... And before July, it becomes June again.

So, it's always summer in my town.

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

...You are doomed to die again and again?

[skiesofhell.livejournal.com]

Mmmhm.

I'm over a hundred years old now.

And I've died every. single. month.

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

...Why?

[skiesofhell.livejournal.com]

Various reasons.

My friends give into paranoia, kill each other - usually I die first... And then something even worse happens, and we're all dead.

{he gives a wry smile} And then Roxas gets mad and puts things back to how they were before everything went wrong, because he thinks they'll learn from their mistakes. None of them remember...

{he laughs, picking up the cleaver at his side - eying his reflection.} I probably sound crazy.

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

...Your friends attempt to kill one another and you as well?

[skiesofhell.livejournal.com]

All the time... We get close to getting it right, and then someone goes insane and one or all of us dies.

{he gave a weak smile, deciding that maybe it was smarter to keep everything quiet} I could use some sake right now, actually.

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

...I would not like to live in your world.

[skiesofhell.livejournal.com]

I don't think anyone would.

[lost-myfooting.livejournal.com]

...

[blink]

Are you new?

[skiesofhell.livejournal.com]

{staaaaaaare} This... is new.

... I... guess?

[lost-myfooting.livejournal.com]

...Oh. Okay! I'm Sora.

[wheels over; there's a blanket over the little stubs he has]

[skiesofhell.livejournal.com]

{he's not going to stare - he's been without his legs a few times before, too.}

I... guess I'm Sora, too. {slight smile, a little worried about all of this} Where... are we?

[lost-myfooting.livejournal.com]

[g-glad. he gets uncomfortable with staring :(]

We're...in this room that pulls anyone, with no rhyme or reason, all to this place.

[skiesofhell.livejournal.com]

I-isn't that a little scary? D8

{biting his lower lip} ... I knew this wasn't Hinamizawa. But what does this mean..

[lost-myfooting.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Yeah, kinda...

I don't know.

[skiesofhell.livejournal.com]

W-well, strange things happen for a reason! I'm sure it's all for a good reason~!

{sets the cleaver aside, slight twitch} Do you.. know what year it is?

[lost-myfooting.livejournal.com]

...Uh. Far as I know 2009.

[skiesofhell.livejournal.com]

... Two thousand and... nine?

[lost-myfooting.livejournal.com]

....yep.

[skiesofhell.livejournal.com]

So now... Hinamizawa is already...

A-anyway... Do you know where I could.. possibly get some new clothing?

[lost-myfooting.livejournal.com]

Yeah, uh..you're probably my size. My room has bunches of stuff.
