[Becca stares down at the device in her hands, a puzzled expression on her face.]

Is this Hell? But... I'm not dead yet. I've got another week yet... Or did I forget my last days on earth? I don't...get it. I don't get it at all. Where is everybody? And what do I do now?

[She hopes that people will take pity on her and help her because she's fifteen and pathetic-looking. That and her massive entitlement complex, but that's another matter in and of itself.]

Comments

[doctor_dragoon]

[Well, eff. Siiiiiiigh.]

... Yes, he does.

[bluedemonflames]

Uhh...Yeah.

[Oops. He's gotten so use to no one caring that he hasn't been bothering to hide it. Time to be nervous. He grabs his tail near the end and holds it out of sight behind his back. An exaggerated stupid smile spreads over his face.]

It ain't a big deal...Really!

[pencilpremonition]

Why do you have a tail?

[doctor_dragoon]

[.... Ugh. Well, might as well explain it to her properly since Rin's not bothering to hide anymore.]

Where we come from, it's not uncommon for some people to have some demonic lineage or the physical alterations that come with it.

[bluedemonflames]

[Nice save Yukio! Rin glances between the two of them to gage the girls reaction.]

It's not that weird.

[Yes it is, but not quite as much so as some of the things he's seen around.]

[pencilpremonition]

That's so cool!

[She's not bothered by it, just surprised.]

I didn't think demons were real.

[doctor_dragoon]

[That's a relief to hear.]

They may not be in your world, but they are for us.

Remember the exorcists I mentioned?

[bluedemonflames]

[He points at his bro.]

Yukio's one of them and I'm gonna be.

[pencilpremonition]

That's so cool!

[This has successfully distracted her from her worries, so...]

[doctor_dragoon]

[Yukio just smiles. He very much likes it when everyone in the room is calm.]

[bluedemonflames]

Guess it is. [Grinning proudly again. He lets his tail go so it can go back to swishing contently back and forth.]

[pencilpremonition]

[She turns to Yukio.]

Okumura, do you have a tail, too?

[doctor_dragoon]

[He shakes his head.] That particular trait didn't pass to me.

[bluedemonflames]

[Just gonna listen in now. He's not sure what, if anything, he should say about it.]

[pencilpremonition]

So uhm... I'll just... If you've got like...some burn cream, I guess I'll take it and go....

[There's no way she'll be able to reach where some of those burns are.]

[doctor_dragoon]

[Trying so hard not to go red again. And it's kinda working. Sort of.]

You won't be able to reach some of those. Nii-san, if you'd excuse us for a moment...

[To Becca:] If you don't mind, of course.

[bluedemonflames]

[Insert sly grin here. Rin turns to leave and waves a hand in the sir as he goes.]

Yeah ok. We'll give you guys some alone time. Nice meeting' ya.

[He snorts to himself at his joke.]

C'mon Kuro we've got something' to do anyways.

[Kuro follows after Rin and steps out of sight just as Rin's tail disappears around the corner and the door clicks shut.]

[pencilpremonition]

[Oh, that just gets a big ol' blush from Becca, Rin. So mean! She stares down at the floor.]

I uh...yeah... Nice meeting you...

[She's too embarrassed to acknowledge you, Yukio, but her staying put is tacit agreement.]

[doctor_dragoon]

Nii-san! [Yukio hisses after Rin as the door shuts, sighing heavily once his brother is out of sight.]

... I'm sorry about that.

[pencilpremonition]

It's okay.

[doctor_dragoon]

[Heading for his supplies to get out the burn cream. And trying to hard to push down that flush in his cheeks.]

This shouldn't take very long.

[pencilpremonition]

[She carefully lifts her shirt off, frowning when she realises that putting her shirt on so quickly ripped the scab off one of the burns. She keeps her back towards him, and holds her shirt in front of her breasts even so.]

...Thank you... I try to take care of 'em, but I can't always reach...

[doctor_dragoon]

[He manages to compose himself while he's rooting through his bag. He's a doctor, damn it, he's going to behave like one.

He heads back over with a jar of ointment, making sure to stay audible behind her.]

It's understandable. This will be cold...

[Dabbing the cream on carefully where it's needed, taking special care around the damaged scabbing.]

[pencilpremonition]

[She whimpers a bit as he works, but she's trained herself not to flinch at anything.]

Thank you...

[doctor_dragoon]

You're welcome.

[He finishes as quickly and carefully as he can. He's pretty good at this. He clears his throat and caps up the ointment when he's finished, backing up to give Becca a little room.]

All finished.
