Actual RP
School has been let out for about a
hour or two now. Sean started walking out of the school building
along with a couple of other Kids that was leaving as well, during
this time some of them are getting in bus's, car's, or walking
home. Sean pretty much walked home since his house wasn't that far
from the school. About half mile, that and he hated getting on the
bus with a whole bunch of people that look at you like your garbage
for just trying to find a seat and they unfortunately have to move
their belongings onto their laps until they got off or until you
got off. Anyways Sean began to walk home from school,it was a nice
and quiet neighborhood he lived in, although with the occasional
people that like to speed around as if they was trying to impress
someone or just don't have the f███ing patience. "Finally... School
is over for this week." Today was Friday, so he was available to do
anything for the weekend. " School will be over for me in about two
months..." He was a bit sad about his school life ending, mainly
because of the people he would occasionally hang out with for like
a hour at most, that and a lot of responsibility will be placed on
him after he's out of school for the rest of his life.
'BEEP BEEP BEEP' The alarm clock went
off, signalling that it was time to get ready for work. "Ugh..." Lu
turned the machine of, sitting up from his nap. He stretched and
reluctantly got out of bed, he yawned and got out his work uniform,
getting dressed. He looked at himself in the bathroom mirror,
tracing the dark circles under his eyes with a finger before
sighing and getting out his contacts, putting them in. Afterwards
he brushed his hair and went to make breakfast, clicking on the
news station on the TV as he did.
He got to the front door and unlocked
it with his keys. He noticed that his parents wasn't hone but found
a note in his that was saying he would have the house to himself
for the weekend since they was gonna be gone due to their jobs. He
then sighs as it was a common thing at this point. "Get to have the
house to myself for the weekend huh? Guess I can go to that
restaurant and get some pizza for dinner." He couldn't really
remember what it was called at the moment but he remembers where
it's at.
He munched on his breakfast, a few
pieces of buttered toast and a glass of almond milk, and watched
the news. Not much had been happening in the small town lately and
the most exciting thing on was an advertisement for the fair coming
up in a few weeks. He checked the time. "S██t..." He only had a few
moments to get there and the place was halfway across town. He down
the glass of milk, giving it a quick rinse and tossing it into the
sink, and taking the last piece of toast, holding it in his mouth
while he grabbed his hat and keys, closing the door and locking it
behind him. He got in his car, putting the key in the ignition,
turning the car on, and reversing out of the driveway, putting on
his seat-belt as he righted the car and put it into drive, heading
down the road a little over the speed limit. And by a little, I
mean he was doing 20 over.
He then dropped off his backpack in
his room and began to walk back outside while locking the front
door on his way out. He didn't have that much money from doing his
side jobs for people, rarely he manages to actually find missing
pets. He then decided to head to the restaurant, and again this
place wasn't as far either. About half a mile a way from his house.
"I hope the pizza is good..." He was starving, since he normally
doesn't eat lunch either because of people or the food they was
serving. He then began to head to the restaurant, eager to found
out if it was any good.
He sped down the road, ignoring stop
signs and finishing that last piece of toast on the way. Luckily he
got there without incident, or police notice, and pulled into one
of the employee parking spots.
After a while he managed to get close
enough to the building to see a employee pulling in the parking
spot for well... Employees. He then pulled up two small boxes, one
of them being showing his name, LV, and how much HP he has. The
other was saying Item, stats, and cellphone.
Lu got out of the car, closing the door
behind him, making sure he had his keys before so. Then, he opened
the trunk, taking out a bag which he put on, draped over his
shoulder. He closed the trunk and locked the car, noticing the teen
in the parking lot but choosing to ignore them and heading
inside.
I then started heading inside a little
after the employee did. I then wondered if this was a all you can
eat place or what, I looked around for a sign to give me a clue as
to what kind of pizza place this was.
Lu headed to one of the back rooms to
clock in and put his bag in his locker, making his way through
countless children, monster and human alike. He grumbled, not
liking the job but needing the cash.
When you walked in, you could see that there were indeed buffet
tables with pizza and other dishes laid out on them.
I was then asked if I eating here by
myself. "Yes." They then told me that it was gonna be $7.50. I then
hand them the exact amount of cash, I was then free pick a table
for me, I then got two slices of cheese pizza and sat at the corner
of place, it had two chairs for every table that wasn't a family
size table. I began to eat some of my pizza, it tasted alright for
now, maybe it'll taste better the more I eat?
Lu made it to the back, closing the
door and letting out a sigh of relief, leaning against it. After a
moment of enjoying the quiet, he put his bag in his locker,
shutting it and padlocking it. Putting the key in his pocket he
clocked in and went back out, his baton now in a holster at his
side. He took up his post, a spot between the arcade and the
bathrooms.
As I was looking around it made me
wonder this place required security cameras around this place.
What? Someone took some pizza home while they was eating at the
buffet? I then finished my second slice of pizza without really
realizing it. I then got up and started to get some more pizza,
this time sausage toppings instead of no toppings.
Lu gazed around the floor, watching
kids dart past, playing and squealing happily. He seemed
bored.
I then went back to my table, I then
wondered about that employees bag, sure it can have his phone and
such but what is in the bag?
He let out a sigh, and popped back into
the back, bringing out a chair to sit in while he watched, keeping
an eye out for any suspicious people or any accidents waiting to
happen. As he looked around he yawned, seeming to be rather sleepy
for a security guard.
I then ate my first slice of pizza and
ate half of the second one. I then pulled up my menu and wondered
if anyone could see what I was doing, it was a weird ability to
have. But I have a box of sorts to where I can put away items
though it can only be eight items or weapons. Though I'm not sure
why would anyone be carrying like eight knives around.
Lu noticed what you were doing, and
paid closer attention, watching you intently now. This is why he
was hired after all, people sneaking small things into their
inventory really adds up over time.
I started to feel a little Weird like
i was being watched so I closed my menu, I then went back to eating
my second slice of pizza. I then took a drink of my tea I forgot
was there. I started to feel a little full, maybe I should get
another slice.
Lu leaned back in his chair, relaxing a
bit now that he knew you weren't trying to sneak anything into your
inventory. He let out another small sigh and got up to go get a
drink, the day going slow wasn't helping his patience at
all.
I began to sorta look around to see if
anyone was looking at me, the adults was too busy paying attention
to their kids so maybe it was the guard? Never understood about
that either, sorta made it slightly uncomfortable for me now. I
began to wonder if I could check his stats somehow... Though I'm a
little afraid too to be honest.
He came back with a refillable cup,
looking at you for a moment before looking back at the kids playing
and surveying for any potential accidents.
I then began to open my menu again to
see if he would look. I then went to my stats this time, I had the
most pacifist looking stats possible. I had zero EXP and I only
needed ten to increase my love, of course the only way to increase
your LOVE is by killing a monster, human, or any other living
things really. But it's mainly the first two is how they increase.
Of course the more dangerous the thing the more EXP you
get.
He saw the menu come up again and,
growling to himself, refocused his attention on you. He had an
expression of 'you better not be f███ing around' on his
face.
Okay this time I can see it was
clearly the security guard, I know I have my menu up but it's not
on the item screen, rather my stats. He either takes his job
seriously or doesn't have that much action happening over here. I
then put away my menu to see how he would react.
Lu scowled a bit, tired of having games
played on him like some toy for entertainment. He then seemingly
turned his attention back to the arcade, watching you from the
corner of his eyes.
I suddenly have lost my craving for
more food after the look he was giving up, so I then drunk the rest
of my tea and began to leave, though as I was leaving I still felt
like I was being watched.
"Hmph. Maybe that'll teach 'em to stop
playing games..." He muttered, feeling his irritation settle some.
He actually focused on the arcade now, merely watching as two kids
simultaneously tripped over the same thing. "Hey!" he called out.
"Be more careful, and no running in the arcade please?" His voice
was surprisingly calm, and soft.
I wasn't sure what his problem was, I
wasn't cussing anybody or disturbing the peace, most of thought I
was trying to sneak food for later which is understandable but
women come in there with handbags that are too f███ing for them and
that's not suspicious.
Lu sighed, finishing off his drink and
watching some of the regulars go about their business. Most of the
people are return customers that have been coming back for months,
so he knew what was odd behavior and what wasn't from them, he did
however, watch a new couple for a bit, waiting to see if anyone
else were using their menus or outright stealing
something.
I then decided to chill out for a bit
outside the place, since I wanted to see what type of people came
in here often was it older people or little kids. I then opened up
my menu and got a stick out of my inventory, its stats was ATK: 1
which was to be expected, unless I can sharpen it which will
increase it by 1.
After a while, it was time for Lu's
break. He got up and went to his locker, getting into the bag and
taking out a pack of edible candy chalk and some gum. He then
refilled his drink and headed outside to sit in his car.
I then decided to look at it for a
while, I then dropped it on the ground, I began to wonder if me and
security guard was gonna have problems later if I keep coming back
here. I then saw that the guy was in his car. I then looked at him
with a blank expression.
He took a stick of candy-chalk out of
the pack and popped it in his mouth, digging through his glove-box
and getting out a CD. Then he popped in the disc and listened to
the rather loud, non-child-friendly music that was on it. He
noticed you and your staring and turned the volume down a frown on
your face. "You got a problem or somethin'?" He asked, returning
your stare.
I shake my head no, today wasn't the
time to probably get killed, especially with the way he's been
looking at me today. I then started to sit down where I was. I then
pulled up my menu and got another item out of my inventory. It was
a small music box that always helped me calm down a bit whenever I
get mad or just feel a bit sad. I opened the lid and turned the
little crank, it then starts playing some weird music that I can't
ever find online.
He watched you sit and quirked an
eyebrow at the music box, but went back to relaxing on his break.
He snapped off the end of the stick and chewed it up into a sugary
paste, swallowing and repeating the process as he turned the music
back up, but not as loud as it had been before.
I then put it back in my inventory, I
wondered why this place was famous for though I couldn't really
remember why though.... Did it had to do with kids...? At some
point I went to get up is when I saw a teenager popped out of the
corner, he looked like your standard jock guy, but thug looking. He
then saw me... Oh wait... It's one of the bully's I sometimes
encourage all though this guy I've been running into more often, I
then started to walk away from him as fast as I could when he
grabbed my shoulder, spun me around and punched me, I fell onto the
ground and lost 7 HP out of 20. There was a small health bar above
me to indicate for other people how much damage I was taking.
"F███ing weirdo!" The bully shouted at me. Blood started coming out
of my nose.
Lu saw this, and despite not liking
you, got out of the car, shutting everything off. He had a fresh
candy stick in his mouth as he walked over. "Hey. Leave the boy
alone." He said to the bully, his voice calm but stern. "Or I'll
have to remove you from the premises." He had his arms crossed, and
looked around, noting that there were hardly any people
around.
The bully just gained a small grin on
his face as to show that he wasn't taking s██t, he then kicked me
in the face as hard as he could. You could see the number 10 appear
above my health bar. Blood came out even more out of my nose and
onto my jacket a little bit on the bully's shoes. "You're weak for
letting me do this to you!" He shouted at me. I slowly began to
stand back up, my head was pounding and blood was dripping from my
nose. I then punched him back in the face, but he only took 1
damage, his health bar barley nudged. He must have been LV 4 or 5.
"The f██k?" I was shocked especially at my self for actually
attempting to fight back for once.
"Tch... Figures." Lu took out the
baton, forcefully grabbing the bully by the back of the shirt and
pulling him away from you. "That's enough! Now, get lost, or get
ready to go to the hospital." He growled out, pushing the kid away
a few paces and readying the baton to fight. "I won't just stand by
and watch you hurt this kid for no reason."
"He's a f███ing weirdo! He sits in
class and just reads about monsters and S██t!" This was your
average monster hater or rather your not so average one since he's
gone out of his way to torment anyone that likes monsters. He then
spat at you while grinning, he then was getting ready you punch you
right after he spat at you. I could barley stand up, so I went to
the nearest wall and leaned against it for a little bit to help
stay up.
He let out a growl, and defended
against the bully's attack, not worrying much about his HP. He
narrowed his eyes, after the punch connected.
-6... HP: 54/60
"Now, either you leave. Or we finish this fight." He said in a
threatening tone.
"Oh I'm gonna kick your ass, then I
think I might do something about him..." He grinned and looked at
me.
HP: 3/20
Bully's HP: 35/36
"Fine. Have it your way, then." He
said, readying his baton and swinging it at the bully, hoping to
either connect it with his face or his shoulder.
The bully wasn't expecting you to move
this fast, he panicked for a second because of your speed. The
Baton hit him on his shoulder. The number 25 appears above his
health as it dropped dramatically with that one hit. "F███ing
hell!" He yelled in pain.
Bully's HP: 10/36
Lu narrowed his eyes again. "Last
chance." He said simply, wielding the baton as if ready for another
attack. "Or, if you like, we can finish with fists." He added, a
smug yet threatening look on his face.
The grin finally escaped his face.
"Hell no, one punch from you and I'm dead..." He then looks at me.
"I'll be back for you later in your life! F███ing Weirdo!" He
screamed at me. He then attempted fleeing from y'all's fight since
he doesn't want to go jail. The words made my head hurt even more,
I then slowly started to sit down with my back up against the wall.
Blood coming out if my nose still.
Lu didn't want to let the kid FLEE, but
he knew he had to, or he would get found out. He let out a sigh and
holstered his baton. Then, he walked over to your side and offered
a hand. "Come on, let's get you bandaged up." He said, a look of
what seemed to be pity in his eyes.
I then took his hand and used it to
pull my self up, my hair was in front of my eyes right now, it was
sorta hard to see but you get used to it after a long while.
"Thanks..." I began to wonder if me not really killing anything was
gonna get me killed one day.
"No problem." He said, opening up his
own menu and getting a bandage out. "This out to help you out
some..." He added, handing it to you and closing the menu, but not
before you could see his STATS, though he didn't notice. He glanced
in the direction the bully had taken off in, scowling slightly.
"Bullies... There aren't many things worse than them..." He said
quietly.
I took his band-aid and looked at his
stats real quick while he was looking. I couldn't believe what I
was seeing, he's a little halfway to reach the maximum LV. But I
pretended I was looking by applying the band-aid to me.
*Healed 10 HP
HP: 13/20
"If you need more, I think we have a
stock in the back." He said. "I can't exactly let you leave knowing
that that kid could be around the corner waiting." He added. "Say,
how about you stick around until the end of my shift? I could even
drop you off near your house if you feel the need." He suggested,
glancing back at his car, and then his watch. "Only a few minutes
left of break..."
"I'll stick around till the end of
your shift, I got nothing else to really do anyways... Plus you are
probably right." I began look around to see if there was any one
else I saw that was a bully to me.
He nodded and walked back to his car,
rolling up the windows and grabbing his 'snacks' and keys, locking
it with a 'click' and a 'beep beep'. He took another stick out,
having dropped the last one during the fight, and offered you the
box, indicating that you should take one. "Want one?" He asked,
seeming to be holding the one he had in a similar fashion to a
cigarette.
I debated about for a second but
reluctantly took one, food also helps with healing though that
doesn't mean you can shove like 10 burgers down your mouth in 5
minutes because you need healing. I took one and ate it.
*Restored 1 HP
HP:14/20
He smiled. "Well, I should be getting
back to work now, break's over." he said, looking at his watch.
"You can have whatever you like inside, it'll be on me." he said,
heading over and holding the door open for you.
"I probably get a drink and another
slice of pizza... Don't know why, but I'm suddenly hungry again
from that fight." Really wasn't much of a fight with how much
damage I was doing to him. I then went inside the place, there was
a bruise and a outline of where my nose bled.
He nodded, understanding. "It's likely
because you need to heal. You took quite a beating..." He said,
entering the restaurant behind you.
"Maybe..." I'm hoping no one gets a
wrong idea on what happened outside since we both came inside and I
looked like I was beat up by him. I sat down in one if the chairs,
I held my head with one of my hands for support.
Once he was sure you were settled in he
headed into the back room and came back with some bandages and an
ice pack, along with a card that was presumably his work ID. "Here,
these are for if you get tired of pizza, this ice pack is for the
pain, and this," he hands you the card. "Is for free food." He
said.
"Oh.... Thanks.... Though this seems
like a lot to give to someone who just got beat up by one of the
bullies. Not that I'm complaining... Just you know." I took the
stuff from him and held the ice pack to my head, I started to
wonder if I should have stayed home today.
"Nah. You can ask the other employees,
I usually do this kind of thing for anyone who gets hurt on my
shift." he said with a smile. "It's just something I like to do."
He looks at his watch. "I'll be back on shift now, but don't be
afraid to ask me for anything." He said, heading back to the chair
he had set up earlier.
"Okay and thanks...." I then wondered
if there was a way I could learn some magic, I heard Humans can
learn magic, though it mainly just depends on how much your Soul
and body can handle along with the time it takes to learn one
spell.
He nodded, indicating that he had heard
you. After sitting back down he returned to watching the
restaurant, occasionally glancing over to check up on
you.
I then wondered if they have some kind
of bed here I could use, but regardless I still felt pretty much
hungry and thirsty, so I got up and laid the ice pack on a table
near me. I then went to get some tea and two slices of pizza. I
then came back slowly started eating the first slice, I felt much
better though thanks to the band-aid and food I was
getting.
He saw you eating a couldn't help but
smile to himself, glad to see that you were feeling better. He knew
what it was like to get bullied and hurt, and what it was like to
get called a 'freak' for liking something. He was shaken from his
thoughts by a loud 'crash' and the sound of a plate shattering. A
monster child had ran into someone at the buffet. He popped into a
closet to get a broom and such to clean, and headed over, the two
people involved backing up a little.
They did so out of both respect and what would seem to be
intimidation. He had a bit of a reputation here for being though to
beat in a fight, and that he had a crazy high HP for someone who'd
seemingly never hurt anyone.
No one but you knew his actual STATS.
After finishing both slices of pizza,
I then began to drink my drink, it tasted sweet to me. The pizza
helped heal me though it healed 3 HP for each slice, so both of
those slices got me to my maximum amount of health. I then started
to wonder if those STATS I saw of his was real or my mind making
them up. Anyways I guess I cant really say anything bad about him
considering he saved me.
He hummed to himself as he finished
cleaning up the mess. He thanked the two people for giving him
space and gave them each a sweet smile, heading off to a trashcan
to dump the shattered plate and ruined food.
I then to wonder if this sorta thing
happens a bit where someone gets bullied. I started to wonder if
there was anyone else like me that hasn't killed anything yet,
simply to just let whoever live. I then opened up my STAT through
my menu, for some reason there a magic Stat now, but it said I
had
Magic : 0
He seemed to be in a better mood,
outwardly at least. Internally however, was a different story.
'I shouldn't have let that brat live... I should have killed
that fucker right then and there, then, if that kid said anything,
I'd have killed him too.' He glanced over at you, then looked away.
'How much did he see? My HP, of course, but did he see the
rest?' He wondered, getting a drink and sipping on it, deep in
thought.
I then started to fold my arms at the
table while sitting and closed my eyes, hoping by the time I wake
up it'll be close to the end of his shift plus maybe my headache
will be gone.
He mumbled to himself, watching and
waiting for anything of interest to happen.
I then began to fall asleep and
started dreaming about my Soul coming out of my body, shaking, then
shatter. It scared me awake for a second before I went back to
sleep and started dreaming about reading some books about monsters
and their ties to magical abilities.
[ A few hours later ]
After a few hours passed it was finally time for closing. Lu sighed
and stretched, glad to be done with watching over a bunch of
screaming kids. He got up and got the broom and mop out, preparing
to clean the place for night-shift.
I began to wake up to feel that it was
much later since there wasn't as much people and it was night time.
I then took a drink of my sweet tea, I then felt that my head was
feeling better but I would probably felt better if I was in my bed,
all nice and warm. Also not exactly how I was wanting to spend my
first day but at least I'm alive and such.
Lu noticed that you had woken up and
grinned, calling out to you in the empty restaurant. "You finally
awake from your beauty rest, sunshine?" He asked, a teasing grin on
his face as he set out to sweep the area.
I sorta did that wave that was agreed
but also joking around in a way. I couldn't get over the fact that,
that was one of the the other bully's why was LV at 5 what and/or
who did he kill? And he was gonna come to try and beat me up again,
maybe stronger. The school I went too had monsters as students but
some people are trying to get over the fact that they are
there.
He began cleaning, humming a small tune
to himself as he did. After a few moments he had cleaned about 7
square feet of space. It was shocking at how much of a difference
just sweeping made. The floor already looked 5x cleaner than it
had.
I began to get up ans wonder if the
magic stat was still there, I opened up my menu and went to my STAT
and there it was, it was still there for me do whatever with. Its
weird how it wasn't there before but now it is, wonder what
triggers it. Either way, he should go to the library and get some
books about magic.
He made short work of the rest of the
room and eventually finished mopping up as well. "Ah, finally
done..." He said, putting away the cleaning supplies. "Alright, I
just need to go in the back to grab my things, you can follow if
you like. Then we can leave." he said, pointing over his shoulder
at the door with his thumb.
I began to get up and follow him since
I sorta grew tired of waiting around, even if I was just sleeping
through most of it. I can't wait to get home and actually sleep as
well.
He held the door open, letting you pass
through and shutting it behind you. It latched with a 'click' He
headed to his locker, taking the key out of his pocket and removing
the padlock. "I'm sorry about what that kid did to you today. I can
assure you he won't be coming back here, though. The cameras
outside caught his face, and we've notified the rest of the staff
about him." he said, pulling his bag out of the locker, and when he
noticed, tucked a red-stained sleeve inside before sipping it
shut.
I saw a sleeve that is stained, which
made me wonder what exactly happened here was it actually blood if
so who's blood is it?! Though it'll be best to act as if I haven't
saw it right now considering his LV, but overall I was still mostly
tired from what I've experienced today so I wouldn't be surprised
if I woke up tomorrow morning and wondered if I actually done all
of this today. "Hey umm..... What's your name? I don't think I've
caught on to what it is." He probably told me before I went to
sleep but I just don't remember.
"Ah, that'd be because I haven't told
you." he said, slinging the bag over his shoulder. "It's
Luciel."
"Luciel?" I haven't heard that name
for a human, although it sounded familiar in a way. "My name is
Sean." I felt a bit weird just saying my name like that but I
figured I may as well tell him.
"Sean huh, sounds nicely average..." He
said. "Wish I was born with a name like Sean." He shrugged and went
back to the door, attempting to open it, but failing. ". . . odd.
It's usually unlocked..."
It started to make me wonder what that
means now that the door is locked for whatever reason. "So what
happens now?" He was starting to look forward to going home at
least now that he was awake.
He looked around a bit. "Uh... There
should be a back way out." He said, leading you down a series of
labyrinth-like hallways. "Should be just through this door." he
said, motioning for you to go first.
This feels a bit odd that one if the
doors that normally unlock is locked and now we are here at this
door and he wants me to go first. I felt I didn't really have a
choice right now so I opened the door.
When the door was opened wide enough,
he pushed you in. Then, making sure it locked he closed the door as
he stepped inside too. He set his bag down on the floor and got out
the Well-worn knife, equipping it. "How much did you see?" He
asked, narrowing his eyes.
"What the hell are you talking
about?!" I f███ing knew it?! I know there was something shady
about this f███ing place, especially this guy.
"My STATS." He growled, taking a step
forwards. "How. Much. Did. You. See?" He twirled the knife, glaring
at you.
I started to back up as he's walking
toward me. "I didn't see anything! Although the way you're making
me do this is leaving me to guess that you killed people.
Especially.... Where are we even at?!"
"Shut it. I'm the one asking the
questions here." He said, putting the knife into his pocket. "I
know you're lying. I saw you hesitate when I gave you that bandage,
I know you saw something." He snarled.
"Yeah okay fine, I saw your your
attack stat! There you happy!" I'm never going outside in my life
if I manage to escape this place now.
"Attack? Nothing more?" He asked,
leaning forwards, and slight smile playing at his lips. "Nothing
more alarming?"
"No, I mean all I heard is that you
done so much damage to one of my bullies with just one hit, I was
curious what your Attack power might be, of course I wanted to know
if it was just the weapon you had or your base attack. But all I
saw was 40 Attack." Any one would be curious if they saw someone
almost one shot your attacker.
"Hmmm..." He took a small step back. "I
suppose I over-reacted. But the secret's out now anyways." He
stated, opening his menu and showing you his full stats.
I looked at his stats again, his LV is
11! No wonder he done so much damage to the bully, even without his
baton he would've done quite a bit of damage. "Why's your LOVE 11?
You either had to deal with a lot of bully's or...." My expression
went blank... I'm gonna die over pizza...
"I might as well tell you... It's not
like you'll live long enough to tell anyways..." He said, his tone
calm but dangerous. "I've killed several people over
the last few months, from kids to adults, human and monster alike."
A sick smile spread over his face. "I didn't hate them... They
never wronged me... They were just in the wrong place, at the wrong
time. Each one of them seeing something that they shouldn't have.
Just like you..." He stated.
My stomach began twist my insides,
feeling all wrong and such. As if I made mistake by getting some
food. "So you didn't save me to actually save me..." I looked down
at the ground feeling hopeless. "You just didn't want to lose some
free EXP..." I began to laugh a bit along with having some tears go
down my face. My body started shaking.
His smile dropped. "Not at all." He
said. "I despise bullies. People who pick on others for their own
enjoyment. It sickens me." He spat, narrowing his eyes. "I helped
you because I wanted to. Nothing more and nothing less." He sigh
out a sigh, running his hands through his hair. "Look... I don't
want to kill you. You remind me of myself too much." He seemed to
be thinking, distracted...
"So you don't want to kill me... I
guess that's good." I started smiling but still laughing and crying
a bit. "Even if you did kill me I wouldn't be worth enough EXP to
make a LV 1 increase their LOVE."
". . . So no one cares about you? Or
the people that do are so few and far in between." He said
quietly.
"Its so few... My parents are almost
gone all the time and the time they are home is when they are
asleep or prepare for their next job trip. And I only can think of
like maybe 3 or 4 people that just know my name... But other than
that. That's all." I began to sit down on the ground, wondering
what's your next move.
"Tch... We're too similar..." He said,
taking the knife from his pocket and tossing it into the bag.
*No weapon equipped
"Look... Let's get you home, and forget about this, Alright?" He
said, wanting to know if you understood or not.
"Too similar...?" I said, getting up
off the ground, feeling a hit glad I was returning home at least,
though it's gonna be quite a while before I can get over this kind
of thing.
"All of this." He motioned to you and
then around the room. "It's too close to what I've been though. I
couldn't hurt you now even if I wanted to. It'd be like attacking
my younger self." He explained, zipping his bag up and slinging it
over his shoulder. "But if you tell anyone and I find out... I will
hunt you down and shatter your SOUL to pieces." He said, the tone
in his voice more than serious.
"You know I wasn't gonna tell anybody
anyways... Right? Who's gonna believe a teenager that nobody even
remembers." I then started to walk to the door, indicating I was
just ready to leave.
". . . " He didn't say anything,
instead he unlocked the door and headed out, not waiting for you to
follow.
I started to follow you through the
hallways, or at least trying to. I started to wonder if what I said
got you as in it made you mad or something else... Either way I'm
alive... And maybe I'll come back for some pizza.
Lu led you back to the door that was
'locked' and removed the pin the had been preventing it from
opening earlier, opening it and stepping out into the now closed
and empty restaurant.
I then went through the door that was
locked earlier. It felt weird being In a store or rather
restaurant, I then checked my STATS everything was normal so far.
"So what did you do with people's Soul's?" I questioned curious
about it.
"What do you mean?" He asked. "I
thought it'd be obvious." He said simply, navigating through the
dim restaurant.
"Well some if not most peoples Souls
shatter right when they die, however their are some cases in which
people will still have a will to live in a way, so the Soul stays
floating above the body, of course after they give up the Soul will
shatter or someone else will shatter themselves. So I've heard some
case where people make containers to hold people's Soul's to which
some will sell or whatever." I didn't know if you collected Soul's
or not.
"Heh... It's not quite as simple as
that..." He said quietly. "I'm not... like the majority of
people..." He said, making his way to the front door, where a pair
of worried parents were waiting outside. "Stay quiet, alright? I
need to take care of this."
I stopped talking and decided to sit
out of the view of the door way to avoid him getting in trouble, I
then started to wonder if he killed some kid earlier... But also
made me wonder why was his HP: 54/60 who did he take damage
from?
He went out and greeted the parents,
his tone friendly and warm, unlike what you had heard just moments
before. You could hear broken conversation from where you were.
"I'm sorry. I looked everywhere I could think of in the back for
them, but they weren't there. I think they may have found the exit
and left that way..." Lu said, consoling the sad parents. Now that
you knew what you did, you couldn't help but see the tiny smile at
the corners of his mouth.
I started to freak out a little bit,
feeling creeped out by this dude and what he's done to children and
adults. I don't know if I was the first person he's actually spared
or not but either way, I know I'll probably won't see him again for
a while after today.
After a bit more consoling the parents
left and Lu came back in. "Alright, now that that's done let's go."
He said, stretching and taking off his work hat.
"Quick question. Do you have a magic
Stat?" I don't know if he knows that humans can use magic or not,
although this kind of information is kinda scary to tell
him.
"Magic? Hmm... Let me check..." He
said, opening his STAT menu and looking for a MAGIC stat
anywhere."
I opened up my menu and went down to
STAT, I opened it up to see that my magic was still the same as it
was before, which now I'll have to get some research and practice
in for whatever field of magic I wanna be in.
"Ah, there is it. Yeah, I have a magic
stat." He said, looking at it.
MP:7
"Huh... Anyways I'm ready to leave
now." I was starting to get tired again now that I don't have that
adrenaline feeling in me. I began to wonder if he was gonna come by
whenever he feels like it now.
He nodded, holding the door open for
you. Before letting you out however he stopped you. He looked you
in the eyes and said, "If that guy ever bothers you again, or
anyone for that matter, tell them your number is 270-666-1313 and
to give the time and place of their fight that way." He sounded
serious, no playful tone was in his voice at all. A little joke there in that number.
heheh...
"Okay.... I'll be sure to remember
that number for later on incase he trys to beat me up again... He
most likely will though considering you was acting as a security
guard for that place rather than for me." I was kinda scared
because I don't know when he's going to try and beat me up or
worse.
He let out a sigh, heading to his car.
"In any case, send them to me, and you won't need to worry about
them from then on." He stated simply, the realization of what he
meant finally setting in.
Oh.... I guess if it's anything to
do with people, he'll fix that problem. "Alright." I began to
heading to his car along with him. I started wonder if he started
out as a killer or whatever when he joined this job.
He opened the driver's side door and
popped open the trunk to toss his bag into. Then he closed the
trunk and and got into the driver's seat.
I then got into the passenger side of
the car, the seats was comfy, though that's probably because the
last time I rode in a car was two months ago. The smell sorta
smelled like pizza and.... Something else.
He fastened his seat belt and started
the car, waiting for you to put your on before driving out of the
parking lot. "Which way?" He asked.
"Go right," I didn't know if he wanted
just a general direction or a full on Google maps sorta deal,
either way I feel as if I'm going to get some kind of weird
comeback.
He turned right, following the road for
a little bit. "Do you know your address? I feel like it'd be easier
if I just ask for that." He added after a moment.
"My address is Riders street" that's
what everyone called the address, so I hope he knows that address
at least by the name.
"Riders street, huh? You're not playing
some sort of joke on me, are you?" He said, glancing over at you
for a moment.
"No... Why?" I started to wonder why
he was asking was I joking with him unless... "Do you live in that
street as well?" Things are gonna be really awkward if he says
yes...
"I do, actually." He said, gripping the
wheel a little tighter. 'Would you look at my luck? The kid
lives on the same street as me...'
"Well then... Have you ever seen me
leaving my house for school or anything else?" I think I saw him a
few times though I wasn't quite sure just yet.
"Not sure... I don't really pay
attention to during the morning hours, simply because most of the
time I'm asleep." He stated. 'How often has he noticed me? I
never expected to run into someone from this neighbor at
work....' He thought, finding another candy stick and resting
it between his lips. You could tell he wasn't eating it, it was
just... there?
"Oh... Alright. I think I may have
seem you a few times though I'm not so sure just yet." I guess
it's a good thing he hasn't noticed me during the morning
hours. "Most of the time I walk to school and on my way back."
I still couldn't believe that my neighbor has been working at that
pizza place and has been... Well, he might change later in life,
hopefully for good if anything else.
' That's not good... What has he
seen? Does he know? No... probably not... Besides, I only do that
at night, and he has school...' "Ah, I see." He pulls onto
Riders Street, slowing down in case he passes your house. "Let me
know when you want me to drop you off." he said, cruising down the
street at a leisurely pace.
"Most likely not though, most of the
time I only pay attention to myself really when I'm by myself,
which is always. But like I said, maybe I have." He seemed a bit
uncomfortable with me talking about possibly seeing him. "By the
way my house should be the fourth one on the right."
He looked a little further down the
road, at the house you pointed out. ". . . there's no way that's
your house" He said, seeming to be a little shocked.
"Why?" Now he was really confused as
why he was shocked. "Do you live right next to me?" Or maybe he
lives across from me? I began to wonder if this was meant to
happen though...
He pulled into his own driveway, the
third on the right. "I can't believe that we're f███ing
neighbors..." He said, shutting off the car.
"...." I wasn't really sure what to
say... How long would have taken for Both of us to realize that we
was neighbors and such. I then unbuckled my seat belt, ready to get
out. Though he's taking it more of a shock then me at the
moment.
He unbuckled his seatbelt as well,
popping open the trunk. "Well. This is certainly not the turn I
thought today would take." He muttered, finally eating the stick
with a few sharp 'snaps'. "I guess I'll be seeing you around
then?"
"Yeah, I'll be seeing you around." I
started leaving the car and going to my house. I took out my keys
and unlocked the front door, I then went inside and shut the door
behind while also locking it. I then went upstairs to my room, I
then just laid down on my bed and started to wonder what the ....
kind of day I just had.
He got his bag out of the trunk,
shutting it and heading inside his own home. He locked the door,
dropping his bag next to it and flopping down in the couch.
"Heheheh... Who'd have .... thought? Oh well... I'll just have to
keep an eye on him..." He made himself relax, calming
down.
I then got up from my bed and started
heading downstairs, I then opened the fridge to see that there was
a single pickle in a jar and a egg, along various other foods of
course. I then got closed the fridge and got I to the freezer and
got out a small dinner box that was orange chicken. Let me know if you get the
reference.
He stretched, yawning a little. 'No,
can't sleep just yet. I have things to do.' He got up, and shortly
after, headed up to his room, opening the closet and clearing out a
space in the floor of it, closing the closet door, he opened the
trapdoor, and headed down those stairs, a smile on his face.
"Hello, Love~"
I began heating my chicken in the
microwave. After a while the microwave was going off, I then got my
food and went to sit on the couch and turned on the TV. the current
channel was showing life where most of the monsters
lived.
He purred. "I'm so sorry I kept you
waiting so long today... I ran into an... issue at work." He
stated, taking a few steps forward. His smile grew as the sight in
front of him grew more apparent as his eyes adjusted to the
darkness. This scene goes more in-depth but it's
not PH safe. Palpad me for the rest.
After I got done finishing my food, i
threw away the box and out my dirty dish in the sink. Despite the
house just being me in almost everyday, it's really clean and such.
I then got upstairs and went into my restroom, I look in the mirror
to see the bruise along with tiny little bits of dry blood on my
nose. I then started taking off my clothes and getting in the
shower. Maybe a hot shower will help me sleep tonight... I
then began to turn on the shower, and started putting shampoo and
such in my hair, it took a bit of shampoo since my hair was long,
especially when it was wet. I wondered. What does Luciel do at
his house? After a while I turned off the shower and began
getting some clothes too sleep in, I then put on my pajamas, I went
over to my bed, got underneath the covers, and then closed my
eyes... Why haven't I fallen asleep yet? Oh yeah! I then
pulled my music box out of my ITEM menu. Started winding up the
music box and let the melody play while I sat it on a small table
next to my bed. I then closed my eyes to attempt to get some sleep.
After I feel asleep, I began having the same dream as before where
I was reading books and such, but this time I was in a much
different place. It seemed as if I was in a library in a small town
that was snowing. There was no monsters or humans. Just a small
candle light, me, and some books about the history of
monsters.
Sean's
turn is so long due to me ommitting several of mine. Sorry for the
lack of story but I gotta follow the rules...
Lu showered, and changed into a pair of pajama pants, then slipped
into bed, thinking about where he would get a new pet now... He
took some sleeping pills, to help him actually get to sleep instead
of getting plagued by nightmares like usual.
Some of the books pages was faded
while others was just sorta dusty... Not monster dust though. I
began to wonder why was I here instead of being my bed, I then
wondered why I was the only one here.
He managed to fall asleep without
issue, soft snores coming from his room could be heard by anyone
listening close in his house.
[Timeskip]
The morning light shined in through my window, I began to make my
eyes open and wondered if I should have gone back to sleep or not.
As I dragged my legs out of bed and touched the floor with them, I
went to the restroom to pee, I then looked in the mirror to see
that the bruise was healing. I then went downstairs and turned on
the TV to see what the weather was going to be like
today.
Lu continued to sleep, snuggled up in
the warmth of his blankets and the few pillows that he did
have.
I then went back to my room and
changed my clothes, I wore a black t-shirt, then my blue hoodie, my
brown pants, and I put on my brown shoes. I started to wonder how
today was gonna go. I should go to the library... I'm sure
they'll have books about magic for humans.
To Lu's displeasure, he awoke to his
alarm going off. He pressed the button and sat up, blearily rubbing
his eyes and looking around. 'Another odd dream...' He
thought, stretching.
I then grabbed my keys and started
heading outside, I opened the door then closed it behind me, I then
locked it. Now if I remember, the library is just to the left of
my house. Hopefully they are open when I get there.
He let out a growling sigh, making
himself get up and out of bed. He made his way downstairs and
clicked on the news, listening to the reports of a missing kind and
another missing person. He set up a pot of coffee and put some
bread in the toaster, ready for some food. While he waited he
checked his STATS.
Lv: 12 HP: 74/60 AT: 32 DF: 12 MP: 7
". . . Heh... heheheh... hahahaha. Hahahahaahahahah!" He couldn't
help but laugh as the news played in the background. "The stupid
b███h! I told her to listen. I told her to be good... I told her...
I... I... I killed her..." He said, starting off sounding like a
madman, or a crazy, but he soon seemed to realize his actions. "I
killed another one..." He manifested his SOUL, peering at the very
thing that drove him to keep doing this. To persevere
in his twisted desires...
I began heading left from my house,
though as I was passing Luciel's house, very faint sound of
laughter could be heard from inside. I ignored it for right now and
assumed he was watching a TV show or whatever. I began to grew
slightly excited on learning about magic and being able to use it.
I then pulled up my STATS to see what they was LV: 1 HP: 30/20 AT:
10 DF: 23
After a few moments of looking at his
SOUL and moving it around, he put it away, not wanting to see it
anymore. "Sometimes I wish I didn't have one..." He muttered,
pouring himself a cup of coffee and spreading jam and butter on his
toast. He then sat down, eating his breakfast in silence as the
voices of worried family and friends came through the
television.
As I was continuing to get to the
library, I was starting to wonder what sort of support magic should
I learn first, maybe a barrier spell and healing spell would be
nice to have when I get into a fight. Barrier would act as a shield
for me, so that'll definitely make some bully's scared of what else
I could do.
He checked the time, and upon realizing
he actually had time to spare this morning before work, decided to
use for another quick nap.
Eventually I managed to get to the
library, I enter the building, the receptionist gives me a simple
wave which I wave back as well, I then went upstairs to look in the
Monsters and magic isle. I searched through them to see if there
was any books that had some history to magic, eventually I found
about four books, three of which has to do with the concept of
magic while the fourth book being about monsters and their ties
with magic.
He shuffled back upstairs to his bed,
setting an alarm to go off in 30 mins, and got back under the
covers, closing his eyes for a nap.
I then bought the books rather than
renting them. As I was heading out one of the people in the library
was giving me a weird look. I then decided to walk back home,
carrying the books in a small bag since they was rather small for
something important.
He napped, and, since he forgot to take
a pill, began to have nightmares from what he's done in the past.
Corpses and horrid creatures reaching for him, trying to drag him
to hell for his digressions.
As I was walking back, I began to see
that in the back of your house, their are two teenagers looking
like they was gonna break in your house. The way they was moving
around your house was sorta like the bully from last night. One of
them had a crowbar and a knife. Seemed they was here for more than
just a break in...
Lu shifted and flinched in his sleep,
being powerless in his dream to FIGHT his attackers. "no...
NO!"
"What are y'all doing!?" I said to
them, in certainly got their attention away from your house,
unfortunately they looked at each other and was starting to come
toward me, I began to run away from simply because I didn't want to
fight. Soon as I started though, all I could hear is feet closing
in on me, slowly but surely...
He woke up in a cold sweat, sitting
upright and panting. He looked around frantically, half-expecting
to see the horrors from his nightmare in his room.
As I was running, one of the guys
tripped over some and landed his arm.
-2
HP: 30/32
While the other was still chasing me, he looked back at his friend
and was debating on still chasing me or go back to help his friend.
After thinking about he decided to continue chasing me.
He got up, not being able to sleep
again after that. He stretched and got dressed in his work uniform
and went outside t check the mail.
The guy finally caught with me, he
then tried to used his knife to try and cut me, but I dodged, ended
up dropping my books however. I then checked him for a second to
see his STATS.
*Bully
*ATK: 29 DEF: 25
I then equipped my pocket knife this time, however it's no really
gonna do that much damage to him. "You little s██t, we are gonna
get back at you for what you did yesterday!"
Lu headed outside, and upon seeing the
confrontation let out a low growl.
*Equipped the Pocket Knife AT increased by 6 He walked over calmly.
"Hey." He growled out, preparing to fight.
Bully 2, who feel down got up and saw
you coming toward him, he quickly grabbed his crowbar, ready to
fight you. "Now we got this guy! You must be that guy from last
night!" He said, grinning about possibly f███ing you up.
I got close enough to Bully 1 and slashed at his arm rather than
his torso. A 1 hovered over Bully 1's head for a second.
HP: 27/28
He started to laugh a bit. "Thought you was tough s██t didn't you!"
He then began to charge at me with the knife, I dodged, but the
knife came really close to hitting my side.
Lu growled, and without hesitation,
flipped open his knife. Attacking the bully.
-11
HP: 19/32
He felt the thrill of the fight, and he honestly enjoyed it. It's
been too long since someone has actually fought back.
We
changed the bullies' name to thug because it fit better.
Thug 2 came at you with his Crowbar and swung his Weapon at you
with trying to hit your arm that is holding the knife. "See how
tough you are without that knife!"
Thug 1 started to get mad a little bit. I then decided to ACT. I
began yawning while longer at him. "Man you're slow." *Thug 1
started getting mad. *Thug 1's Attack went up by 2, *Thug 1's
Defense dropped by 3
He then swung his knife at me twice, trying to cut my torso, dodged
again. I then went up to him and cut his arm again. His HP went
down by 1 again,
HP: 26/28
Lu backed up, and side-stepped the
attack, countering with my own and driving my knife deep into their
side. "Tch. Like you'd last long anyways..." He growled out.
-11
HP: 8/32
Hope you all are enjoying the story so
far! Let me know via Palpad or PM if you like the idea and I might
make an RP thread in the forums for it! : D OH, and if you see any
swears, or something that shouldn't be there, please let me know!
(Not here obviously) I'm only human (unfortunately...) and I tend
to miss things.
Thug 2 grunted in pain as the blade
hit his side, small drips of blood started leaking out on the wound
that you caused, he then took his crowbar and smacked you across
the face with it. "Son of █████ this hurts!"
Thug 1 then came up to me at lightening speed this time and slashed
me across my left shoulder. I grunted in pain as my shoulder began
to bleed a bit, a dark red stain began to appear on my hoodie.
*Taken 8 damage.
Sean's HP: 22/20
Lu took the blow and stumbled back,
holding a hand to his face.
-8
HP: 62/60
Letting out a threatening growl, the pain causing his anger to
bubble up out of control. "NOW YOU'VE DONE IT..." He used a spell
that was more second-nature to him.
It let him attack twice in the next turn, but also let him still
attack this turn.
-5 MP
MP: 2/7
He attacked, slashing at the thug with the intent to do some
real damage now.
The attack landed on Thug 2, he then
went down after knife slashed on him. He went down on the ground
with one knee on the ground and using the other as support for his
upper body.
Thug 2's HP: -3/32
Thug 1 started to become tired from all the attacking he's done
along with being angry. 'I got an a idea.' Sean then used
his turn to go to is ITEM box and used a music box. He then cranked
the music box as it started playing soft and gentle music. Thug 1
started to laugh. "What's that gonna do!" As he was saying this, he
began to slowly close his eyes and fell asleep on the
ground.
Lu was seething with anger, still
holding the cut on his face. He narrowed his eyes and prepared to
use the dual attack that was readied. It wouldn't kill, but the
thug's HP would 7 points away from death.
He growled and raised the knife, ready to plunge it into the thug's
back, ready to twist it and make him scream.
"Hey, he's already down, I think we
beat them " I looked at the Thug I was fighting earlier, he seemed
rather peaceful and had a better outcome in the fight then his
friend over here.
He hesitated for a moment, hearing your
voice seemed to shake him from his rage.
He lowered the knife and, albeit reluctantly, and put it away,
accepting that the fight was done. "Are... you alright?" He asked,
clearing the last of his murderous thoughts from his
head.
"Yeah, I'm alright... Let's leave
though before they get up and all." I began to wonder what would
have happened to the Thug that was fighting Luciel. I began to
wonder if they'll be alright with us leaving them like
this.
He nodded, reaching up to feel the cut
on the side of his face and wincing a little at the pain. "I need
to go patch this up... You can come in if you like." He added,
heading back inside his home. Confidently, leaving the door open
for you.
He knew from experience that his spell would remain active until
the next time he attacked.
I decided to come into his home, it
seems just like your standard home would though around these parts,
standard furniture that looked as if it was crazy expensive and
all. I then closed the door behind me, wonder what would happen if
the tables had been turned during that fight.
He had headed straight down a hallway,
one that could be seen from the front door and entered a bathroom,
flipping on the light and leaving the door open.
I then decided to come and see him in
his bathroom, wondering what kind of condition the cut was in. As I
got your bathroom the cut started to remind me of something. "I'll
be back real quick I just now remembered something!" My f███ing
books!
He glanced over at you for a moment,
but nodded, opening his medicine cabinet and looking through for
some disinfectant and possibly an old pain-pills he had been
prescribed.
Luckily my books was still there
however, the two thugs was gone... Sorta, I looked in the distance
seeing the one that was asleep woken up and carrying his friend
either back home or somewhere they hang out with friends, I then
came back to your house and went back to the restroom for you.
"How's it holding up?" I began to pick up one of my books, the
first one being about how can humans learn how to use
magic.
"It hurts. But it doesn't seem to be
too bad." He replied, taking damp rag and cleaning away the blood
and grime from the wound.
There were several prescription bottles set out, ranging from
sleep-aids to painkillers all the way to... sedatives? Why would
someone get prescribed sedatives?
He seemed to have found the one he was looking for though, as there
was one bottle set next to a glass of water.
"Thats good... I suppose, do you have
trouble sleeping?" I began to wonder because I was curious if was
the fight or his sleep that was giving him that tired look. I began
to also look at his medicine it made me wonder how often this
happens to him.
"I do actually. I get nightmares if I
don't take anything. Even if I'm trying to take a short nap." He
explained, taking some of the sedatives and placing them back into
the cabinet. They all looked nearly full, as if they had been
barely used.
I then grabbed my music box and tried
sitting it down on the small table next to your sink, however, as I
was trying to to place my music box to give to him, my hand was
shaking and sorta tightening my grip on the music box as if my soul
was refusing to part with such a important item in my life. I took
a deep breath and released my grip on, it was sat on the table
however there was a pang of regret lingering around my Heart
wondering if I'm making the right choice.
He glanced at the music box you had put
down. "What's that for?" He asked, not understanding that it was a
gift since you hadn't said anything.
"Maybe this will help? It seems silly,
espically the function for it, but I know that there are ways to
getting a good night's sleep, even a nap through even the most
unexpected ways. So I'm letting you try this out for today and
tomorrow, if it works great for you, then I want you to keep it, if
not then you can return it to me. Sound good? Also think of this as
a payment in a way." I was then wondering if magic could help with
sleep as well. I'll need to see if there is some items that'll help
me with magic.
"Ah... I appreciate the gesture but...
I don't think it'd be right for me to take it. I saw you with it at
the pizzeria and it seems to be of some value to you, otherwise you
wouldn't carry it around." He explained, getting out a bandage and
some disinfectant cream to put onto the wound on his cheek.
Whoops, I forgot about this entirely... But uh,
this isn't caught-up fully yet. I still have a lot more to transfer
and uh, appropriate. So stay tuned for more updates here
soon!
"Just..." My insides began to turn on
me a bit. "Just try it out at least, that way I'll know I've helped
you in some way like you've helped me with my problem." True, it
did hold value but I rather have someone be able to sleep if the
only thing that was keeping them from sleeping was being haunted by
their past if it meant I had to give up something. "At least
tonight."
He gave a sort of half-smile. "Alright,
alright... I'll try it out." He said, looking it over a bit. "Can I
ask why you carry it around?"
"It belonged to me as a child when my
parents wasn't actually busy all the time, this was one of the last
gifts they truly gave me before they went and became... Well busy
for all their life is what it seems. But it did help me with my
night's where I had trouble sleeping, although I don't have those
nights anymore, I figured I could pass it on in a way." I began to
wonder if I was gonna start having nightmares again after a few
days of not hearing the music.
He seemed to understand. "I see. I'll
take good care of it then." He said. "If you want, you can take it
up to my room. I'll likely forget it if I don't put it up there
now." He added. He squeezed a little of the medical cream out onto
his fingertip, spreading it onto the cut and grimacing slightly at
the resulting sting.
"Sure, I'll do that for you." I
grabbed the music box one last time, in a way. I then proceeded to
go upstairs and all the way down the hall, I turned the door knob
and slowly opened the door, it felt weird being in someone's room,
especially by your self... For the first time. I then sat it next
to his bed, hoping he'll remember it. I then left his room and
started heading back to the restroom, feeling a bit more awkward if
I wasn't already.
When you came back, he was all bandaged
up, a small patch of gauze on his cheek. "Thanks." he said. "I'm
going to call-in to work here in a few, I need to report my injury
and see if the boss wants me to come in, what with health
violations and such." He said, stretching.
"Alright, sounds like a plan, if you
don't get called in, what are you gonna do?" I mean I had a free
weekend so far, so I could do anything for right now. I mean it's
not like I have a bedtime schedule.
He shrugged. "Honestly, I'd probably
catch up on my sleep first. After that, it's a mystery." He
replied. "I don't exactly do much. Maybe the occasional excursion
to the store, or a bar, but other than that I mostly stay
home."
"Ah... I see, cause I was gonna see if
it's fine if I stay a while at your place to do some studying over
magic and stuff." His place looked like a great place to study
along with me having some sort of company at least. Even if it's
the least suspected kind.
He thought it over for a moment. "Sure.
I'll have to find the spare mattress for you, or you could take my
bed." He offered. "I'll sleep on the couch." He took his cellphone
out of his pocket, it had a little charm on it that looked like a
dragon. "I should call my boss now, it's a bad idea to keep him
waiting."
"I'll take the couch, feeling a little
tired of sleeping in a bed, in a weird way." I started to wonder
what he does around here during his day off or rather his sick day
or whatever. I then got my phone and started to search the web for
any magical clothing that would help with well, magic. There was a
few I could see like scarfs and hats. But there was a cloak hood
that stood out for me, not only that but it came in various Soul
color, naturally I chose Light blue, granted it only gave 5
Defense, however it will help anyone training or learning to use
Magic. It also granted 2 in the Magic Stat which was a nice bonus,
it didn't mean I'll be able to use magic straight away no problem
though, however it'll help with training and such.
"Are you sure? I wouldn't want a guest
to be sleeping on the couch of all things. I'd much rather have you
sleep on the spare mattress at least." He insisted. "And, that way,
we can both listen to the music box overnight." He
added.
"Alright, if you insist that we sleep
in the same room and such." At least I'll be able to sleep to the
music box one last time. I began to feel a sudden urge to sleep,
possibly due to the fight we had even though I wasn't all that
injured from it.
He nodded, glad that you agreed.
"Aright, now I need to call my boss. There's only a little time
left before I lose the chance." He replied, typing a number into
his phone.
I nodded my head and proceeded to look
at the various things you have around your house, considering I
feel like I'm gonna have to be familiar with it. I then put my
Rusty pocket knife in my inventory box, although I should probably
consider bringing other weapons besides just a knife.
He waited for his boss to pick up and
after a few moments explained his case. "Hey boss, I'm callin in to
let ya know I got knicked in a bit of a scrap this morning. The
cut's about two inches wide and deep enough to need more than a
band-aid to cover. I got it patched up but if I have to come in
I'll need to take a few more breaks to swap the gauze." He paused,
waiting for an answer. After several minutes of angry yelling,
which Luciel held the phone away from his ear for, he replied.
"Alright. Thanks." 'click' He hung up.
"Good news. Boss is letting me have the day off. Bad news, I get a
double shift tomorrow..." He said, tucking the cellphone back in
his pocket.
"Your boss doesn't sound too happy
about the news." I began to wonder if this was a habit of his to be
involved in fights before or after work. I began to feel bad about
him getting involved in my business but at the same time I feel
like those guys would've definitely done something to me if I got
downed in the fight.
"Ah, he's just a bit of a prick is all.
Nothing new honestly." He replied with a smile. He stretched a bit
and yawned, still feeling tired despite having woken up less that
half-hour ago.
"So now that you have the day off, do
you want to go back to sleep?" 'Hopefully he's got some food
that I'll like...'
"I would... But I'd rather not." He
replied honestly. "I don't necessarily have any plans, so I'm up to
do whatever."
"Cool..." I began to wonder what kind
of things he would be interested in the least. 'Maybe some basic
things about me in a way?' "So did you know I go to High
school?" This was a common mistake for some people due to my
appearance looking rather younger than what I actually
am.
"Ah, I actually didn't..." He
responded, walking out of the bathroom after putting away the
assortment of meds. "How old are ya anyways?" He asked, walking
into the kitchen, which was mostly visible from where you were, and
fixing himself another cup of coffee.
"I'm 17, what do I look like to you?"
He seemed rather old for someone working as a security guard for a
pizza place although I guess it seems rather laid back kind of job.
I began to walk in the kitchen with you, I then opened the fridge
to see what kind of drinks you have along with any food.
"I pegged you as maybe 13 or 14.
Somewhere in that range..." He replied.
The fridge had a jug of milk, a bottle of fruit juice (grape), and
a two packs of soda. One was coke and the other was
orange.
*Picked up a coke
I then opened it and started drinking it, it was refreshing in a
odd way. Although the more I hang out with Luciel the more I begin
to feel something within me, although I'm not certain what the
feeling is. "How old are you?" I took another sip of my
drink.
"Twenty-Eight." He answered, blowing
steam from his mug as he waited for it to cool down.
"Well then. Also do you know where the
high is at? Since you are up for anything I figured we could check
it out for a bit if you feel like it, and maybe rent a movie for us
too watch tonight?" I had some things planned since I didn't want
to be a boring guest, although it should be the other way around I
figured I might try a different approach onto hanging out with
people.
". . ." He seemed a little surprised
that you had plans already. "I think I know where it is... And I
suppose a movie would be nice."
"That's good." A small smile began to
form on my face and then it quickly faded for some reason. "So what
kind of movies do you like? Horror or action?" I didn't mean to
make it seem like those were the only two options
though.
"If I'm honest, I like horror,
thriller, and romance movies." he responded. "Anything else you'd
like to do today?" He asked, figuring that if you had this much
planned, you might have more that you didn't mention.
"... Can't think right now, although I
would like to sight see a little bit. Around town." Although I had
a entire weekend, that didn't leave much time and resources for me
to go explore the town I've lived in.
"Alright, I supposed that'd be fine."
He said, taking a sip of his coffee.
"Cool, also I just know that most of
the time people like watching movies or whatever when it's night
time." I then took another sip of my coke. It tasted sweet in a way
but not too sweet.
"Indeed. Though I don't mind whenever
we do it, just as long as it isn't too late, since I have to cover
two shifts tomorrow." He responded, taking another long sip. It
seems like he likes coffee a lot.
"Okay. Do you wanna head out now or
wait a little bit? Maybe give a small house tour if you want to as
well, though you don't have too if you don't want too." I hope I
wasn't sounding demanding in a way.
"I'd like to wait, since I'm not quite
awake enough to drive just yet." He replied. "I suppose a small
tour wouldn't hurt. As you know, this is the kitchen, and there's
the living room." He motioned to the room. "If you follow me I'll
show you the rest of the hallway past the bathroom."
I then followed him to see the small
bits of his house, it seemed a lot more cozy and warmer than mine,
although I guess it's because it me and him rather than by myself.
I looked around at your wall decor along with other things such as
the detail of the floor and such, it looked really nice.
"This is the guest bedroom, it gets
cold though, and this is my 'tinker room'." he said, showing you a
room full of small electrical parts and blueprints. "I like to toy
around with ideas for the animatronics."
This place seemed really cool with his
experience with technology. "Animatronics?" I wasn't too fond if
them since I've never really heard of them till now. Although all
this stuff and the blueprints seems really complicated for me
though.
"Ah, the robots, i suppose you'd call
them. The boss gets me to design new features for 'em or replace
old parts when they break down." He replied. "It's just a hobby of
mine really."
"That's pretty cool." The small smile
began to creep back up on my face as my body felt like moving
towards into the room slowly, as if it was being controlled by
something else rather than me.
"But there's more to the house to show
you right now." he said, closing the door slightly as if he was
simply ready to show you the rest. "You can look around more
closely later, alright?"
I quickly snapped out of it for a
second, the smile faded once again as I brought my hands up to my
face, staring at them as if I've been betrayed. "Right... Sorry " I
then left the room, ready to follow you again.
'This kid is an odd one... I'll have
to keep an eye on 'em...' He thought. "Right this way." he
purred out, leading you up the stairs to the second floor which
only consisted of a small office/study, his room, a hall closet,
and the master bathroom. It didn't take a lot of brains to realize
that there was more room up here than downstairs, even though the
house looked perfectly even from outside.
I nodded my head as he was showing me
the rest of his house, maybe I could show him mine sometime? Maybe
today if he really feels like it. "So how does it feel having this
much... Room." I began to wonder how it must've felt having a place
like this be like.
"It's nice, if I'm honest. My job makes
me a little anti-social so I don't mind being all alone here." He
replied as he sat on his bed.
"Do you mind if I come in? I didn't
want to intrude in your room if you don't want me too." I felt a
bit more curious about his place, specifically his room and tinker
shop, something about it makes me feel blank, as if I don't have a
mind.
"Of course you can come in. You are
sleeping in here after all." He replied, flopping back on his bed
and letting out a comfortable sigh.
I then walked into your room, I looked
around to see that it was nicely decorated. "So am I the first
person to come in here with you?" It felt a bit off being in here,
though the aura of this place is feeling... Pretty
relaxing.
"Yeah, I'd say so." He replied, closing
his eyes. "I don't have many friends, and the ones I do have are
mostly online." He waved lazily, as if to brush off that fact. "So
yeah, you're the first person besides handymen to be invited
in."
"That's cool... So now that I've been
given a small tour, do I relax in here or the living room till you
are ready to leave?" I almost forgot I have my coke, I then took
another sip. Feeling glad that I have something to drink or eat
right now.
"You can stick around wherever you
like. Feel free to explore and make yourself at home." He said,
stretching and sitting up again.
"Alright..." I then began to head to
the guest bedroom, so i felt like it was a second bedroom for me
for some reason. I headed downstairs and went into the hallway. I
then opened the guest bedroom door and sat down on the bed or
rather I laid down on the bed. I said my drink on the nightstand
beside me and began to get comfortable, feeling numb in a way,
however comfortable at the same time.
Luciel let out a soft purr. 'It
feels... odd. To have company like this. . . . . .S███. I never
took those bags out...' He thought, realizing they were still
tucked away in his secret room.
I wondered if the bed was used often
by any of his friends although he said he doesn't really have that
many friends so I guess I would be the first. The room smelt pretty
new in a way. As if I was the first one ever in here. I then got
underneath the covers and wondered 'How would he feel about
me... No.'
Lu got up, a sudden urgency in his
movements. He stepped out of his room and went looking for you, to
find out if you'd see him or not if he took them out
now.
"This is comfy..." I then began to get
up real quick to prevent myself from falling asleep in the bed,
although it was very tempting. "Man I almost feel asleep." I began
to throw the covers off of me and sat up right, looking around the
room once more.
He checked the bathroom, then headed
downstairs, looking for you. His demeanor at this point was less
than friendly and instead it seemed as if he was prowling through
his own house.
I then grabbed my coke and headed out
of the guest bedroom, feeling a bit refreshed now for some reason,
I then headed out to the living room.
He spotted you and with a half-smile,
approached. 'S███... I thought he'd be toying around in the
robotics room... Looks like I can't tend to the trash just
yet.' He though. "Hey, Sean. Whaddya say we go check out some
movies?" He asked, hands in his pockets. "I just need to go change
out of my uniform and I'll be ready to go."
"Alright, that sounds good. I'll be in
the living room then." I then closed the door behind me and started
heading to the living room.
He nodded and went back upstairs to his
room, muttering to himself when he got there. "Damn... This kid is
going to end up being more trouble than it's worth to keep him
around." He closed his door and began to get undressed, changing
into his favorite hoodie and a pair of jeans.
I then chugged the rest of my soda and
threw the can away in a trash can before I got to the living room.
I then pulled up my CELL and went back to the website that sold
armor and such, I then bought the Hooded cloak, Although I had two
options with delivery thanks Magic and technology. I either could
have it sent directly to my Dimensional box in a instant or have it
delivered. Of course I had it sent to my Dimensional box. I then
went to my Box ans pulled it out of the menu. I then took off my
Hoodie and put on my cloak. I could feel a strange magic feeling on
my body, as if I could shoot magic from my hands, however I
couldn't just yet.
Lu finished getting dressed and came
out, heading downstairs. He froze when he saw you, not realizing
that it was you, and barked out in a threatening tone. "WHAT DO YOU
THINK YOU'RE DOING IN HERE!?"
I panicked and quickly turned around
looking for someone other than me. "What?! There's someone here?!"
I was really confused but also a little scared.
He heard your voice and realized who
you were. He went down the rest of the steps, a hand on his chest.
"Sean you gave me a heart attack... I didn't realize it was you."
He said, feeling his pulse racing.
"Sorry... Just ordered this online, I
guess I should've told you before hand." I then took it off and
went back to my Hoodie, my cloak went into my inventory rather than
the box.
He nodded. "It's alright. Just... maybe
don't do that again?" He asked, having trouble calming down now
that he had gotten worked up. He felt his anxiety boost and with it
so did his violent tendencies. 'S███ kid... I nearly stabbed
you.' He thought, putting his hand in his pocket and digging
his fingers into his leg, squeezing painfully to distract
himself.
"I'll do my best not to do that
again." Although I felt a bit tougher with the hoodie, the magic
feeling was now gone. "So I'll be going outside to your car or the
sidewalk if you feel like walking, alright?" I began to head out
the front door. Feeling a bit embarrassed but also feeling a bit of
violent tension in the air as I was leaving.
He nodded, deciding to make a short
pit-stop in the bathroom before heading out. He got out one of the
sedative bottles and took a dose, pocketing the bottle in case he
needed it again.
*Sedatives added to inventory
He stopped by the kitchen and grabbed himself a soda, and after
pausing, grabbed you one too.
*Cokes added to inventory
Lastly he grabbed his keys and headed out, locking his door as he
did.
As I was waiting, I saw you come out
and lock your front door, I then looked at my house, feeling a bit
weird now just staring at it in a sorta new view. I then went over
to the passenger seat, waiting for you to unlock the car
doors.
He shook his head and held up the
sedatives. "Can't drive if I'm taking these." he stated. "They make
me too drowsy, so we'll be walking." He added. "Oh, and here..." He
hands you one of the sodas.
*Coke removed from inventory
I took the coke he handed me. It still
felt cold, i then put it in my inventory for now.
*Coke added to inventory
"So should we also get movie snacks? I'll pay for the movie and
snacks." I still had quite a bit of money coming to me due to being
alone and parents sending me a certain amount each weekend to make
sure I'm well fed and such.
He yawned a little, the sedatives
starting to take effect.
*ATK -10
"I suppose so... Is there even a movie theater here?" He asked,
seeming to be getting a little sluggish with his words and
movements.
"Yes, it's near the town square which
is like a 15 minute walk if you can manage that." It seemed as if
you got done with a long day of work along with intense
workout.
He felt his anxiety melt away, and his
violent reactions along with it. "Yeah, that sounds alright." he
said, a small smile sticking on his face as he began to feel
relaxed.
"Alright then." I then began to walk
to the town square, I looked behind though to make sure you were
actually following me.
He was, but at a slower pace. It seems
like whatever that medicine was, it took a lot out of him. On the
bright side though, he looked like he wouldn't harm a fly like
this.
Eventually we started to reach the
movie theater, the line wasn't really there as almost everybody now
a days watched movies online at home. "The Bye-Bye Man?" That
seemed like a horror movie to me
He glanced up at the titles, taking a
moment to process them. "Eh, it seems alright. Which one do you
wanna go see?" He asked, not really minding what the two of you
watched.
"We'll go see the bye bye man." I then
began walking to the back of line to get our tickets along with
some snacks along the way, hopefully it'll be a good first day for
us.
"Alright." He said, following along
behind you at a leisurely pace.
Imma stop transferring here for now,
but only since I'm about to pass out. Sedated Lu is actually a
really nice guy to be around. It's great.
