002 . : Okumura Yukio [VIDEO]

[doctor_dragoon]

[Yukio’s centered in the feed, having turned the camera on purposely this time. He’s wearing the same black uniform jacket that he arrived in, but there are dark circles forming beneath his eyes that weren’t there a few days ago. Not that he was sleeping terribly well before his arrival in Nesreca (or... ever, really), but the sudden relocation has been exceedingly stressful for him.

He’s smiling, though. Now that he’s had a chance to acclimate it’s time for some more questions, and there’s no reason to be unpleasant about it.]

I’m curious to know just what assets we have to work with in this place. I understand that food and supplies are difficult to come by, so I would appreciate some more information about Credinta, as well as what may be available on this side of the river.

[His expression turns a bit more serious.]

For those of you who have been trapped here longer... Have any of you encountered either Libitina or her master in person?

[Rin follows along behind him and Blacky pads along too. Fine. He'll use the door.]

Where are we lookin' first.

[in person]

[doctor_dragoon]

[Good Rin.]

I think we should start at the amusement park. [Frown. Hopefully they won't find a demon in this one.]

[in person]

[bluedemonflames]

Yeah. It's weird that it's all ruined and stuff again.

[He quickens his pace to walk along beside Yukio. He'd really like to not find a demon too. Berserking again would be bad.]

[in person]

[doctor_dragoon]

The transformation back into working order when it has supposedly been ruined for decades is stranger.

[No berserking, dude. Yukio couldn't even handle it at the moment.]

[in person]

[bluedemonflames]

[Yukio has a point there. Rin thinks about this in silence a few seconds.]

So ghosts really can't do this kinda stuff?

[in person]

[doctor_dragoon]

No, they can't.

... Did you read any of the books I gave you?

[in person]

[bluedemonflames]

...I kinda looked at one. Ya know I don't learn stuff that way!

[in person]

[doctor_dragoon]

But these are basics, Nii-san.

[in person]

[bluedemonflames]

I'll learn them when I gotta. It's easier if it's there. How am I supposed ta remember this stuff by just readin;?

[in person]

[doctor_dragoon]

Just like everyone else does. It's really not that difficult if you just try.

[in person]

[bluedemonflames]

I did try! It just doesn't make sense! It doesn't stick.

[in person]

[doctor_dragoon]

[SIIIIGH. This is quite frustrating.]

... That's not the only thing you still need to work on.

[in person]

[bluedemonflames]

[Rin pauses and glares. He shifts his sword on his shoulder so he can hunch over a little more and sulk.]

Yeah yeah. I know. I'll learn to control it so lay off!

[in person]

[doctor_dragoon]

[DUBIOUS FACE.]

... You'll be continuing your training while you're here.

[in person]

[bluedemonflames]

What?! Without Shura?! I don't even have any candles!

[in person]

[doctor_dragoon]

I've also been assigned to you. I'm just as capable of overseeing your training.

We'll have to improvise.

[in person]

[bluedemonflames]

...Whatever. [He'd argue more but he's alrady lit himself on fire in front of people twice now. Not good.]

Just how long do you think I can keep this a secret anyhow? They're only gonna hate me more when they find out. [Just like it seems to be at home.]

[in person]

[doctor_dragoon]

[Yukio stops, glancing back at the apartment building as if to make sure they aren't being followed. His expression is a bit softer when he looks back to Rin.]

If you learn to control your flames then no one will have to find out. We just have to be careful.

[in person]

[bluedemonflames]

Tch. Somethin' will happen eventually and they'll see. I don't like bein' dishonest about it.

[He straightens up and looks away.]

I'm still gonna learn to control it so don't get all bent outta shape. And it ain't like I'll go showin' people on purpose either.

[in person]

[doctor_dragoon]

... It's for the best right now.

I know you wouldn't. It's not your conscious judgment that I'm worried about.

[in person]

[bluedemonflames]

...

Believe in me when I say that I'm gonna get better about it Yukio. It isn't gonna control me. I'll prove it to ya.

[He starts walking again and after a few steps glances over his shoulder, motioning for Yukio to come with him.]

C'mon. We've still gotta check out that park.

[in person]

[doctor_dragoon]

[Yukio stares at Rin's back for a moment, lips down-turned. He nods when Rin motions him forward, though, quickly wiping his expression clean and moving to catch up.]
