you are here alone again in your sweet insanity

Who: Tsukasa and OPEN
Where: Aries ward; near Hülle Granz Cathedral
When: Late on July 15th into the 13th hour
Summary: Tsukasa is glitching out worse than before, and so he attempts to take refuge in the one familiar place he knows.
Warnings: .hack//SIGN spoilers if that can still be considered a thing at all? Possible flashbacks to Tsukasa's offline life so abuse and trauma warning.


[10ish PM]

[Everything was going wrong. Tsukasa was glitching so badly that he couldn't hold his staff anymore. It just kept going through his hand, and his vision was messed up so badly he could barely figure out where he was going. There was only one place for him to go.]

[And so after several hours, the Cathedral is in sight.]

[It's just a matter of being able to see or hear long enough to get over there - not an easy task when his entire body is randomly covered in static and his voice is nearly incomprehensible.]


[13th Hour]

[By the time the 13th hour rolls around, Tsukasa is still at the shore. He's frozen completely, not even blinking or appearing to breathe. He keeps appearing randomly translucent, or sometimes a figure totally cloaked in static. Rarely, his regular form will appear for a split second, as if it's trying to correct itself, but then it disappears into static once more.]

13th Hour

[Shinjiro doesn't usually hang around Hinoto-ri after the 13th Hour hits. He's got no reason damn to. He might be off the drugs, but there are still several things he doesn't trust, and he's especially not going to trust himself to chance, and he's not some training-happy moron. However, every now and and again, Shinjiro ends up walking home through the desolate streets once the hour changes over, much as it has back home.

This time he finds himself walking along the shoreline, but stops when his eyes discern a human figure from out of the red moonlight. He stops, blinking back wary hesitation. He wonders if he's seeing wrong, because whoever the kid is, his eyes are seeing burst of static instead of something resembling a solid form, and that's not normal.

He walks closer, and the body continues to glitch and flux. Shinjiro's not sure what to make of it. Doesn't know if he should trust it. But now that his eyes can actually make out more fine detail than he could from yards away, he recognizes Tsukasa from the network. Still doesn't mean he knows what the hell to make of it.

He keeps his hands firmly in his pockets.]


Hey, kid!
