Rating; PG-13-ish with death and violence.
Characters; Rita (negativegate) and Tyr (blackshadow)
Summary; Rita and Tyr losing their heads. One of these is literal.
Log;

Once the influence of the Halloween curse ended and they were both back to normal, Rita...well, she felt pretty awkward. She'd had no idea the costume she'd worn was some vampire from Tyr's world, and there she'd gone and bitten his neck. Thinking about the fact that she actually drank his blood--it grossed her out. But at least she hadn't hurt him.

But it was exactly that which also struck her as a little weird. Tyr didn't usually like having his neck touched all that much, so it could've been the influence of the curse...

In any case, here it is in the morning, and Rita's still in costume at the house because she hasn't been bothered to change. She should probably apologize to Tyr if he's awake and see how he is.

Comments

[negativegate]

As she stands with him, she thinks they obviously weren't safe in the apartment, though... They probably won't be safe anywhere if whatever it was attacks again.

"R--right," she answers and fails to keep that little note of fear out of her voice. She's always hated things she can't control or explain. "Let's just get out of here..."

[blackshadow]

The tone in her voice makes his heart feel cold. She's scared... She's never scared. Even if he knows his arms can't do anything to protect her, he still wanted to hold her, shield her... She doesn't deserve any of this.

He reaches up to stroke her face gently and tuck her hair behind her ears before he takes his staff. Part of him still remembers that physical gestures didn't really help her, and all of him still doesn't care. "We'll take the short cut."

[negativegate]

She's long since gotten used to them from Tyr, even if they don't really make her feel any better right now. It's the fact that they don't have a clue what happened that unnerves her so much...

"All right..." She takes a little breath, though she doesn't feel any more confident, and continues, "Let's go." Maybe on the way, she can check her device for any other similar things that happened yesterday. If it happened to a lot of people, maybe it was just yesterday's curse...

Suddenly, she remembers something else that they have to worry about. "Wait... We should go to the hospital for you, remember?"

[blackshadow]

He completely forgot about the hospital and that she's concerned about his memories, but he knows it's important to her. Probably more important than his desire to go home and heal her...and then hide out there for a while.

They can hide out more after the hospital visit. "Oh, right... Right, we should head there first..." He gives her hand a little squeeze and starts towards the door.

[negativegate]

"Yeah...come on," she agrees and moves with him. She knows it doesn't seem like his priority, but she is really worried about him. Memories don't just disappear for no reason, especially without a regular curse, so she hopes they can get some answers about that, at least. One less unknown.

[blackshadow]

And the less Rita can worry, the better. He hopes that his memory gaps don't have anything to do with her death... Part of him doesn't want to remember for that reason along with not wanting to remember what happened to his friends and family.

Thinking about his memories is just confusing.

He keeps his staff firmly in his hand as they walk outside, trying to take in everything in case something happens, but nothing seems out of the ordinary at all...

[ ooc: Do you want to fade out around here or keep going? ]

[negativegate]

Rita doesn't want to think they have anything to with each other, either, but she can't help but file it away as a possibility right now. It's just...she thinks that would make it even worse for Tyr.

She stays fairly silent today, not in much of a talkative mood, but at least a little glad he's going with her.

[ooc: I think fading out here is good! We know what they'll do after this. ;v;]

[blackshadow]

Tyr will stick with her all day even after they're done at the hospital and after they get home. He doesn't want to be without her anymore...and he wouldn't want to leave her in this state even if he was all there.

They'll be okay.

[ ooc: All righty! :D ]
