[for anyone wondering where this one's been? That's a good point. And he's just strolling along like no one is around, bumping into people without realizing they're even there. He's also covered in blood. It's on his clothes and in his hair and all over his face, but there doesn't seem to be a scratch on his body. Very curious.]

[ooc; anyone is welcome to play the victim because I want some moar chaos. Also, kudos to who gets the post title]

[well upon seeing that...]

...Riddle?

[takes about half a second to get worried]

Are you hurt?

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

No. I'm not.

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

Then why is there so much blood?

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

[glances down, looking like he hadn't noticed the blood before]

I dunno...

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[examines, offering his hand once he's decided the other is okay]

We should get you cleaned up.

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

Okay.

[nods and takes the hand offered]

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[leads the way along]

I can loan you something clean to wear as well.

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

Yes, please.

[crinkles at the sight of all that blood]

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

Alright. You're welcome to anything I have then.

[doesn't know where the other's room is and thus goes to his own, pressing his free hand to the door to unlock it before stepping inside. his room's a bit of an oddity - the lights are off but numerous little shards of something are hanging about in tiny bottles glowing, strung about like Christmas lights]

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

[watches much like a little kid might when something fascinates them]

I like your room.

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[closes the door, mostly out of habit]

It doesn't seem too strange?

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

No.

[shakes his head, following along behind the other]

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

I'm glad.

[leads the way to the bathroom, flicking that light on]

I'll get you some towels and clothes.

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

Okay.

[stays still, waiting like a good boy and picking at the flaking blood on his face]

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[sets those things within easy reach for when the other is done, pausing when he sees the fellow standing still]

Do you want me to start the water for you?

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

[nods]

Yes please. Sorry.

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

Don't be sorry, I don't mind at all.

[smiles a bit]

Do you like baths or showers?

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

Shower is fine.

[starts to take his clothing off, there are blood splotches on his skin practically everywhere]

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

Alright.

[gets the water going, making sure there's nothing missing the other might need]

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

[hugs the other despite being naked]

Thank you~

[gets in with a content little smile]

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

Glad to help.

[makes sure he didn't forget anything and heads for the door]

Let me know if you need anything else. I'll be in the room.

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I will.

[smiles happily, all ready working on cleaning off the blood]

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[smiles a bit too, leaving the bathroom to give the other some privacy]

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

[comes out in a few moments, nice and clean]

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

I hope the clothes are alright.

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

Yes, they're fine.

[and with that said, he lunges himself at the other, hugging tightly]

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[is happy to hug him right back of course]

I'm glad. What happened, anyhow?

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

[pauses for a moment, shoulders slumping]

You'll get mad at me...

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

How do you know if you haven't ever seen me mad?

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

I dunno. But I lied. I know where the blood is from. Kinda.

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

Kind of?

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

I don't really remember but I think I hurt someone again.

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[alas he's more concerned than mad]

You don't remember?

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

No... I don't. I can't remember doing it but I did it.

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[frowns]

I can't be mad at you for that.

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

[just hugs him close]

Good.

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[hugs back]

I'm glad that you're alright.

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

[nods, snuggling against him]

I missed you.

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[yay snuggles]

I missed you as well. I'm sorry I haven't been around as often lately.

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

It's okay~ I don't mind.

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

Have you been up to much?

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

Reading mostly. Not much else.

[shrugs]

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

Did you find some books you liked, then?

[takes a seat on his bed, allowing plenty of room if the other wants to sit]

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

Uhhuh. They've got lots and lots of books.

[settles down, resting his head on the other's shoulder]

I'm glad I got all cleaned though. A Riku didn't like me and grabbed my hair.

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[frowns and pets the other's hair gently]

That wasn't very nice of him.

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

He apologized but I still don't like him.

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

I doubt I would either, with that kind of first impression.
