Summary; blackout antics
Log; He wasn't completely sure why he had woken up. He had just felt the need to get up all of a sudden. At first he thought he had slept through his alarm, but then he realized that it was dark out so that couldn't be it. So he shrugged it off, and he was about to roll over and go back to sleep, but that's when he noticed something odd. He almost missed it, since the room was so dark, but out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of a dark shape.

A big dark shape.

That hissed at him when he locked sight with it.

"DOUMEKIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"

Never in his life had he gone from 'half-asleep' to 'OH MY GOD' so quickly. Before the shape could even move Watanuki had bolted from his bed and down the hallway, tripping over random things as he ran. When he reached Doumeki's door he threw it open and slammed it shut behind him, and then he aimed to jump under Doumeki's blankets and hide, but he slipped on something and ran into the wall. A moment later he was on the ground, dazed.

See Doumeki. Maybe. If you can see well enough in this dark with his communicator's light on his face, he might be rolling his eyes. But it might be too dark for you to see that. So now he's pushing to his feet, grabbing his bow and moving towards the door. "C'mon."

And, of course, Watanuki follows. He's not terribly graceful about it, as he keeps tripping over things on the way there, but he's able to eventually make it to his room. However, upon looking inside, the ghost is nowhere to be found. "...um, it's not there anymore."

Doumeki glances inside the room, seeing nothing. "Huh."

He takes a step inside the room, looking around--and then he hears the footsteps. Well, it's not really footsteps, but more like a scuttling off many limbs across the hardwood floor. Creepy, amirite?

Yes, that scuttling is very creepy. So creepy, in fact, that Watanuki panics and clings to Doumeki and points in one direction as he yells "It went that way! That way!"

Of course, he is oblivious to the fact that it's difficult to fire a bow without two hands. Panic tends to make people forget simple things like that.

....wut. He now has flaily spirit bait clinging to him. You're getting a brief 'wth' look, Watanuki, before his attention is turning back to that creepy thing that is scuttling around the apartment. So he's tugging his arm out of Watanuki's grasp and taking a firm hold of his bow and drawing it, eyes scanning the apartment for any sign of that creature.

Okay, fine, but Watanuki gets huffy and follows Doumeki around, because he knows the spirits will think twice before messing with Doumeki. So being next to Doumeki is the safest place to be.

Also, after looking around, they can easily find the spirit on the dining room table. It's eating the flowers out of the vase on the table.

Hey! Those are roses from his shop! "Oi--!" A bit of a scowl for that, moving towards it.

The spirit looks up at Doumeki for a moment, and then it hisses defiantly at him and continues munching on the flowers. Meanwhile, Watanuki is freaking out. "There it is! That's the sound it made!"

O no u di'int bitchu. He's drawing his bow now, aiming right at it. "Stop. Eating. My. Flowers." Each word was said with deadly calm.

This spirit is a very mature one, because it spits out the flowers right at Doumeki before clamoring down off the table and running out of the room. And it knocks Watanuki back into another wall as it does so.

Oh, it's ON. He walks over and holds out a hand to Watanuki to help him up. "C'mon."

Watanuki takes the hand, and as he stands up he looks down the hall in the direction the spirit went. "That thing is fast. Can we catch up to it?"

"We can try." He's moving quickly down the hall now. The thing ate his flowers, dammit :/

The spirit had ran down the hallway and to the bathroom, but when they got there it was nowhere to be found. It was as if it had just disappeared, which was actually possible, since it was a spirit. "Where did it go," Watanuki asked as he looked around, "It's not like there's anywhere to go down here."

But there was. The spirit was chillaxing on the ceiling, waiting for the right moment to pounce on the pair.

Doumeki frowned, hand on his bow tightening a bit. "....I don't know." The archer took a cautious step inside the hallway.

The spirit silently watched, crawling down the wall behind Doumeki, but staying there as it watched the two. Watanuki was still unaware, though, as he had opened the bathroom door to peek in. "It's too dark to see anything," he complained loudly to Doumeki, "We wouldn't see him if he was right on top of us!

Doumeki, unfortunately, was similarly unaware. "...I can't help that." Deadpan, but there might be a touch of annoyance in there.

"Well you should," Watanuki started to yell at Doumeki as he turned around to glare at him, "If you had just shot it that first time then we would-"

But he stopped mid-sentence when he noticed the spirit crawling down the wall towards them, right behind Doumeki. And while he had been pointing at Doumeki just a moment ago, his aim changed slightly to just above Doumeki's shoulder as he started to stammer out incoherent words.

...that did not inspire confidence. Especially the whole 'pointing over his shoulder and babbling' thing. So he's spinning around and drawing his bow at the same time, before firing. Probably not all that accurately, but it's towards where Watanuki was pointing, at least.

The arrow managed to hit the spirit in the...er, some part of it. But it was near the edge and went zooming through that part of the spirit, and it made the spirit howl in pain before gnashing it's large teeth at Doumeki and rushing forward, trying to eat the boy in one bite.

Watanuki was playing the part of Captain Obvious today, and he continued to point at the spirit as he shrieked, "HURRY UP IT'S GOING TO EAT US!"

Thanks Captain Obvious. You're a big help here. As if the large, gnashing teeth weren't any indication. So he's firing his bow again, right towards the creature's mouth.

That gets the flower-eating beast. It lets out one final shriek as it disappears into nothing, leaving behind only some half-eaten flowers and a knocked over vase to show that it had ever been there.

Watanuki wasn't doing so good, though. He was still shaking like mad, and he felt like he needed to lean against something for support. So he tried to lean back against the bathroom door, but it was half-open so he just fell on his ass on the tile floor.

Doumeki let out a small breath of relief as it disappeared, before he's glancing back to see what the 'thunk' was about, only to find Watanuki sitting on the floor. "It's gone."

"I know it's gone," Watanuki snapped, glaring up at Doumeki as he did so. Of course, it was probably difficult to see his glare, since it was so dark. But even so, he felt the need to glare, as if it would prove his point somehow. After a moment he got up on his feet again, but his butt was still sore from falling over so he winced as he did so. But he didn't want to draw attention to it, as it was humiliating to him, so he said, "Maybe we can get some sleep now."

"Maybe." He pauses, to think on that. "I wonder if there's more." ....what would happen to his flowers? D:
