DAY EIGHT (morning)
 Complex Population: 19 It's 8AM, and you wake from that deep, dreamless sleep that enforces curfew as always. Of course, some of you might be waking up due to a rather alarming reason. NOTE: This day post will be run slightly differently because of the large amount of things to be discovered. Please indicate where your character is in the subject line of your toplevel, and a mod will reply to conduct the investigation. Please note that some areas may be dangerous, and your characters may be injured, but characters will not be killed (unless you want them to be). This post is for the second day as defined in the schedule. This post is for investigation and general mingling before the trial that takes place in the afternoon IC. ic rulebook character statuses character profiles private conversations graveyard |

He's made room for himself among the crowd at least, set up as far away from everyone as possible while still being in the area. Everything about his body language is giving off warning signs that even if you want to help treat his injuries or stop his bleeding, you may want to rethink that. If anyone manages to get close in spite of that -- well, Ookurikara is going to be extremely hostile to any and everyone.
Unless you're one of the rare few people who he's deemed alright. ]
no subject
Even if Sakyou's not in that group of rare people, he still isn't just gonna leave a bleeding sick-looking dude sitting out here alone, though. In one of his rounds through the injured crowd, he'll be slipping over. The bottle of vodka in his hand is halfway empty already, and he has a clean bar towel in the other one.]
Have you been able to clean up yet...?
no subject
lucky for Sakyou, he's one of the rare few people that Ookurikara doesn't really mind. So he has no real qualms about answering...even if the tone of voice in which he does is less than pleasant. Not that he has the capacity to ever really be pleasant BUT he definitely sounds more aggressive than he has thus far. ] No.
I don't want anyone to touch me. [ He is eyeing Sakyou a bit and is purposefully keeping Mitsutada's sword close to his chest. ] I don't know who did it, but no one prevented it either. So as far as I'm concerned, everyone is just as guilty about his death.
no subject
[He's not one to argue about semantics, at least - about the "who's right, who's wrong" in situations involving death. Shying away from claiming responsibility for lost lives isn't really in his code of ethics anyway.
That said:]
Please clean yourself up, in that case. Leaving wounds untended to will only lead to infection, and if you're ill, you won't be able to deliver what's due to the person responsible.
[Just automatically assuming Revenge Path is what's going to happen since that is 100% the path he'd go down. Holding out the bottle and towel...]
no subject
he tries hard to not show it but when he rolls up his shirt, he flinches and practically hisses from pain. The biggest and most of his wounds are on the right side of his body. Nothing below the waist but his ribs and arm are something of a mess. It looks worse than it feels but it's annoying all the same. Especially cleaning it on his own. ] When I saw Mitsutada's body. I didn't think about it when I went in to the fountain. [ He zeroed in right on recovering it. ] I didn't think someone, the staff or whoever, would have planted a bomb there.
Wasn't just killing him enough? Ugh. [ JUST THINKING ABOUT IT IS MAKING HIM ANGRY AGAIN ]
no subject
For the rest of that, he just listens quietly while Ookurikara talks. It definitely seems like an insult-to-injury situation... Like just a little extra push that wasn't necessary.]
I would imagine that that was what they were expecting. So far, no one has had any trouble retrieving the bodies... Only a few would think to be cautious at this point. I'd imagine they intended to kill even more people like this. It's good fortune that you survived.
no subject
Maybe something to bring up at the trial later in the day but for now, he'll relay his current thoughts to Sakyou, if only to think aloud. ] Still. They could have just gotten rid of the bodies before we found them this morning. Why the extra step? It's like they wanted a couple of us to get injured.
[ THE PLOT THICKENS but at least his wounds are clean and he's free of shrapnel. ]
no subject
Once he looks like he's done cleaning, Sakyou holds his hands out again to take the bottle and cloth back.]
Do you think anything needs stitching? [EYEBALLIN... those cuts... But on the topic of Night Of Chaos:]
Normally I would guess that it's because they want to make us easier to kill off later, but with the way their usual kills have gone, I don't think that our physical capabilities are of much concern to them one way or another... Really, I can't think of any reason other than to create a distraction or because they had intended for the blasts to be lethal.
no subject
Are you going to treat your wounds?
no subject
and lucky enough, Dazai is also one of the rare few that Ookurikara doesn't mind. If Mitsutada knew them, then they were generally fine in his book. WITH THAT SAID, he sighs and shifts his position, looking over the wounds he's sustained. ] I don't really do that.
He would always do it for me. So I don't really feel like doing it myself. [ UGH that really bothered him to say. ]
no subject
he does sigh, but out of concern. after all, he can't imagine that any of this is easy on ookurikara right now. ]
Then, I'll do it for you. If we're going to find who did this to him, letting yourself waste away isn't going to help you.
no subject
Fine. He would want that too...I guess. [ HE KNOWS that Mitsutada would want him to be treated properly at least...so it's within his wishes which helps him be slightly more cooperative -- ]
no subject
Hold out your arm, then.
[ and if he does, dazai will immediately set on bandaging it, firmly wrapping the gauze around and around. as he does, however, he'll ask something else. ]
That's not the worst of your injuries, I'm guessing?
no subject
[ Up and down his arms, some lesser ones on his face that don't look TOO bad but most the damage was done to his torso since he was facing forward and reaching out to grab Mitsutada when the explosion went off. In fact, he's favoring his left since it was his right arm and the right of his torso that suffered the most. ]
Here. [ He'll remove his jacket and roll up the stained red, white shirt he typically wears. Most of the bad damage is on his lower right arm, but there's a particularly nasty looking mess of wounds over his ribs on his right.
As much as he tries to hide it, he's wincing whenever he moves his arm. ]
no subject
Thanks.
[ anyway! after he's finished taking care of kuri's right arm, he takes his his roll of bandages in one hand, and start wrapping strips around his torso in a similar manner — pulling it taut enough for kuri to breathe properly and for it to stop the bleeding. his work is quick and neat, and even someone who's never seen first aid before will know that he has some considerable level of skill in bandaging.
once the worst of kuri's injuries have been patched up, he'll lean back on the stool, returning some of his personal space back to him. ]
That should do it. If something feels uncomfortable, don't hesitate to tell me. [ such as if he's wrapped something too tightly, but usually, he doesn't make those mistakes. ]
no subject
he was so sure that at least Mitsutada would be fine. Who would go after him when he's been so nice and caring to everyone? Maybe trusting people too much but that's the kind of person that staff would want around, right? He was too naive to think that and he paid the price. As guilty as he now thinks everyone else still alive is, he's not exempt from that guilt either. Not with how he promised to protect Mitsutada over and over again, to always be by his side and watch his back.
HE SIGHS and spares Dazai a glance. He doesn't give thanks but he asks him (1) thing. ] Your room. Do you have space there? [ He pretty much left his apartment burning -- not that he cares. He wouldn't want to go back there where he and Mitsutada often where anyway so it's probably better that it burned. ]
no subject
but he does look up when ookurikara speaks again, blinking in surprise, because kuri just seems to be full of twists and turns today. ]
My room? There's three of us now, including me, so I'd say that the amount of space you get isn't the best. But it also isn't too loud, so it works for all of us.
[ and of course, he knows what kuri's getting at. ]
If you're okay with being the fourth person there, we wouldn't mind having you.
[ probably!! also, steve is there. please don't eat steve. ]
no subject
I appreciate it. I didn't exactly stick around a burning apartment building when I woke up alone today. [ HE SIGHS again. This is going to take some getting used to but he'll manage and he won't eat Steve -- ]
