another year has passed and I'm alright; (OPEN)

[gandere]

WHO: Rin Tohsaka (gandere), Shiki Ryougi (ryougi), and a few of her close CR. (Will add character names when they tag in)
WHAT: Day one of the event
WHERE: Throughout Mayfield
WHEN: January 25th
WARNINGS: Angst. Gore.

The first time Rin notices something is Most Definitely Wrong is when she awakens in the night due to a stab wound in her stomach. No one had entered the home, she knows this much, and it bothers her to think that the only person who could have done such a thing is her Servant. This sort of wound is nothing for her though as she heals it easily.

Later on in the morning she's tired of the phone ringing and leaves the house. There's no point to going to school after the incident of the night before. No, she'll sneak in tomorrow if she has a chance and spare herself from getting droned. After the night before, there's no way she can risk it.

Visiting with a couple of individuals is key to survival, so Rin will make her way towards the homes of those she knows. It's a simple gesture that will save herself a lot of trouble later on down the road. The knowledge to know who stands where is important and she doesn't stop despite what sickness creeps up on her.

It's when she's surveying the changes to Makeout Point does she start to feel feverish, the nausea overwhelming her. This feeling is easily recognizable as radiation poisoning. Unlike before though, she has her full abilities and is able to overcome it. Purging it was a simple matter, but now she's just full of confusion.

During the evening is when her condition worsens.

OOC; Rin's traveling the neighborhood and workplaces of those she's considered close to in preparation of what may happen. If your character can't handle her with a giant hole in her chest, please tag prior to the evening prompt. If you don't want to come up with a setting, just do a blank tag. I'll fill in the blanks.

i feel bad that the first thread here will be hideous now

[ryougi]

[> awful shit happening in town
> everyone yelling on the phone
> TAKE A WALK TO GET AWAY FROM THE NOISE

Not like taking a walk at night isn't unusual for Shiki to begin with I mean really, but given how the phone has been ringing all day again this was the perfect chance to have some quiet for a change. Sure the town seemed to be acting strange again, but again since when has she ever cared??? TL;DR PERFECT NIGHT FOR A WALK THAT GOES COMPLETELY NORMAL RIGHT.]

it just serves as a good indicator for the kind of crap we do LOL...

[gandere]

[ Right, because everything about this town at night is normal. Except for the path where these pair of star-crossed-nasuchickadees cross. The tsundere's clearly under some kind of distress, but she straightens her expression the best she can when she recognizes the woman approaching her.

It almost reminds her of another hideous thread in which Shiki met Kaleido-Ruby another night in which she met this woman. Damn it, where's Archer when she needs someone to just punch her in her Shikifull face? ]

psa: this is what happens when you rp type-moon

[ryougi]

[mfw she probably remembers Kaleido-Ruby rather than Rin's actual name Wow uh who is this again... She has to be reacting to her since they're the only two on the street and she is definitely reacting in some way. This is actually kind of funny tbh but what is the problem this time.

Oh wait right.]

Ah, Kaleido-Ruby, right?

being type-moon is suffering (also hilarious)

[gandere]

That isn't my name.

[ Just kill her now. ]

Don't you remember? Even your friend recognized my name, so maybe you should talk to them just to remind yourself.

evening because what's being horrible

[godlyreigns]

Rider's already on her porch, in a sweater and scarf. She's not doing too well either, finding random spots on her body mysteriously splitting open and bleeding profusely. She tries to wrap herself up in gauze, but it's only helping minutely.

She spots Rin from a distance, and completely oblivious, waves.

we're all horrible here

[gandere]

It's almost as though Rider has evolved into Caren.

The wave catches her attention and leaves her in a daze momentarily, wondering if she should approach or not. Once the logical conclusion hits her mind, she turns in her path to make her way towards Rider.

"Hey Rider!" Her voice tries to mask the pain she's in, but is hardly efficient when it lacks the usual fire she displays.

sob

[godlyreigns]

Rider uses Worry! It's super effective!

She notices almost immediately, just from the false-sounding cheeriness in Rin's voice. Her mind jumps to Rin being affected by previous injuries as well, but...her train of thought stops there. Rin had been here how long? Longer than Rider. Rider knew almost nothing of the things Rin probably had to go through--

She steps down from her patio, tugging on the bandages in her sleeves, trying to make sure no blood drips on the ground. "What's happened?"

Guess I'll be the one to change it up a bit

[doesnotgetit]

[Hakuno stayed home from school as well. After the machine's destruction and the subsequent call throughout Mayfield, she was definitely feeling uneasy. She was still completely helpless, so going out and about the town when something was obviously about to go down would probably be a Very Bad Idea.

So when Rin makes her way to 505 Ricardo, she'll thankfully find Hakuno at home, and it's she who answers the door.]

... Rin?

yay best friend fiveever...

[gandere]

Ah.

[ Rin's actually surprised when she answers the door, the girl looking the other one over before resting her gaze on her eyes. The town was definitely up to something if her illness was any indication, but there's no need to worry her too much.

Not if she can shield her with some semblance of ignorance. ]

I was hoping you'd be here. [ Dealing with people is rough and it leaves Rin almost speechless as she struggles to think of what to say or do next. ] Um, you aren't feeling sick or anything are you?

come to Hakuno's arms Rin she will give you all the hugs

[doesnotgetit]

No, I'm fine. [She smiles a little, but it immediately fades when the reason why Rin might answer pops up in her mind.] Why? Are you feeling sick?

Evening. Homie needs more guilt

[captainofthe10th]

Garviel is waiting for her at some point, probably near her house on Miller. His helmet is removed, and his eyes, always holding some pain, seem more sad than usual.

"Of all the people, Rin..."

He will cross to her, looking down.

"To smell your blood on the wind like this, it hurts me in the way that no blade or bolt has ever done."

Yes, all the guilt <333

[gandere]

Connla. Archer. Nepeta.

Those three people are the reason she forces herself to try to make it back to 310 Miller Street before the pain gets to be too bad. Even if most of her loved ones are now drones, they are still people she must look out for.

Especially Connla.

It was for that boy alone she perseveres. The pain is overwhelming and often she finds her knees growing weak, threatening to give out, as she stops to anticipate the larger man's approach.

"I'm sorry." What else can she say to something like that? After dealing with various illnesses throughout the day, her fiery temper has been taxed, leaving her with little else. "I'll be fine though. Really."

[captainofthe10th]

"Come along then." He offers his hand to steady her, not to carry her, just to hold, so she can lean against him. It won't look like too much support, it won't hurt her pride so much.

"I expect by now you have deduced what happened. What I believed, and the hubristic mistake that I made."

[doudemoe]

[Minato once again has decided to opt out of school. After last night, he doesn't expect anyone would show up anyway. With the obvious signs that another horrible event was coming, it's best to lay low and stay protective of his family.

So when Rin knocks at 1764 Beaver Street, Minato is the one who's present.]

Hello...Tohsaka?

[gandere]

Hey Arisato-kun.

[ This is one tsundere just trying to invite herself in as she steps through the door, possibly pushing at him to make way for herself. ]

Do you have anything to drink? I'm thirsty.

[ This is how you greet someone alright. ]

[doudemoe]

[Oh yeah, cool. Go ahead and invade his house. He don't care. :|a]

Just water and juice.

Dunno what sort of setting I should have so I'm just gonna blank tag

[answerer_sword]

Fine by me <3 I'm a-okay with setting stuff up!

[gandere]

[ Honestly, she owes it to Bazett to check up on her even if she tries to convince herself otherwise. It's easy to say that she's just doing this for her stupid Servant's sake - as though his happiness relies solely on just Bazett's well-being. Rin knows it doesn't, it never will again, and that in all honesty, her Servant might be more sour with her than anything else for visiting when she's this ill.

But she supposes it can't be helped. This sort of reckless behavior was natural for her, so she'll make it a special case to swing by her house in the afternoon. There's doubt she'll be there, but if she's not, then at least Rin can make the (wild) claim that she tried. ]

Hey Bazett, I'm coming in now, so you better not do something stupid. [ What's the point of knocking when she can break in? ] You're here, right?

Re: Fine by me <3 I'm a-okay with setting stuff up!

[answerer_sword]

Yes, I am.

[Bazett looks a little pale as she answers the door. The strange pains she has been getting since the morning have now changed to a strange spreading bruise on her abdomen. For some reason, not even healing spells were able to remove the bruise.]

Is there any reason for this visit, Tohsaka?

Afternoon

[adropofjupiter]

As Rin's walking along, heading back from her time at Makeout Point, a few drops of something wet, warm and red falls from the sky onto her. When she looks up, she'll find a familiar witch hovering only about twenty feet up in the air on her broom as she tries to deal with a fresh leg wound.

Watch out! She's bleeding pretty badly so there will be more drops of blood in gravity's grasp. It would really suck to get hit in the face...

[gandere]

Damn it Marisa, does Rin really look like a band-aid? Glancing up, she notices the witch with a look of annoyance spread across her face. Why was she still flying when she has such a wound, she wonders to herself. Well, there's no point in keeping such curiosities in mind when she can just blurt them out.

"HEY!!" If that wasn't attention grabbing enough, Rin's just going to cock her finger like it was a pretend gun, taking aim at her. "Get down from there before I blast you down!"

Just the usual greeting for an ally and all.

[adropofjupiter]

That was a perfectly normal greeting for one from Gensokyo. Marisa glances down at Rin, blinks, and then her broom floats down to street level. The witch doesn't get off it, though, but stays on it as if she was on a bike and not a broom.

"Sorry for bleeding on you, ze." Marisa proceeds to rip a swath of her petticoat and, with a hissed curse, props her leg up to work on bandaging the long gouge along the outside of her thigh. It's a familiar wound if Rin thought back to when her and the witch crossed paths during the apocalypse.

"Glad I ran into you, though. We gotta talk, ze."

[riastrad_ridire]

[He knew that feeling; the instinct of 'my Master is in danger' that only a Servant could have. Lancer hated that feeling, even more considering how often he felt it around here.]

[So it was sometime early in the evening Lancer found himself rushing to his Master's side, frustration evident on his face--he was sick of being too damn late to do anything.]

Rin? What's going on, are you alright?

[gandere]

I'm fine. [ She tries to insist, but the hand clutching her chest is indication otherwise. ] What about you?

[ Typical of her - to neglect her own well-being when she needs attention to it and to focus on his when she knows he's well. ]

[riastrad_ridire]

You know damn well I'm fine, what's wrong with you?
