Whoa! Whoa, whoa!!

[ She has no idea who this man is, but watching him punch a door and watching the door continue to win is kind of painful to witness and as he draws his fist back again, Tsuruno does the wise and mature thing of.

Trying to throw herself in between his fist and the door.

Yes. This is wise. ]


Just hold on a second!!

[Claws don't quite sink into his throat or head, just prickling a little bit. Too sweet whispers and empty promises, and at the end of the day, you know who hasn't left you? Me, old chum! A jovial chuckle, glowing yellow eyes, and the feeling of filth over his body.

Around the corner, he hears the familiar voices and Daan jerks away from the wicked cat's grip, finding himself sinking back into reality. Marcoh. Marcoh and... Caligura? When the hell did he show up? That's not exactly a subtle man, after all. He thinks someone might have mentioned someone like that, but maybe it was just a recent thing?

Daan rubs his eye and looks around the corner. There's the sudden feeling that if he had to, he would absolutely kill Caligura. Punishment be damned, but he would hate it more if Marcoh was hurt by this thug. It's kind of a wild thought to realize even outside of Prehevil, he might be comfortable with murdering a non-moonscorched man for Marcoh, but he's going to worry about examining that another time. It does also occur to him based on this interaction, the two recognize each other. More than just Prehevil. Did they know each other before then?

Not that Daan has room to judge someone for that. For anything. Most importantly, he can't let Caligura get in a good strike.

So, before the pipe comes down on Marcoh's skull, Daan is darting out and he's already reaching for Caligura's throat, gripping and pinching a nerve with all of the strength he has left in his body.

Daan sneers out:]


How terribly ungentlemanly of you. I have half a mind to just slit your throat, you know. But that'd ruin a perfectly good blade.

(The mall is quiet, every sound seems to stand out. He follows the constant bang, bang, bang that he keeps hearing and finds a man punching the door?

Well. This is different.

He watches for a moment to see if there's some sort of immediate reason to really be doing it. No... the doors still look the same from when he first came through them and judging by the red on the man's hands, he's been going at it for some time.
)

This time, this time! (Yes, definitely this time. He sounds supportive until his tone drops some,) And what if it isn't?

It's fine, I've had worse!

[ Said completely truthfully and completely quickly, it's fine, don't think too hard about it, she just would not hold any grudges if this adult man punched her in the face-- ]

And you're the one who's hurt here!

NICE NICE NICE

[For a moment, Daan is overwhelmed. He's been given visions here and there, but he assumed that maybe it was Pocketcat fucking with him, or maybe it's Rher, maybe it's some other god messing with them. So he didn't even consider that maybe it was something else.

Either way, he sees what Marcoh sees, and he's blinking rapidly before he's staring at the mannequin as well.

Ah. Daan removes his hand stiffly, then gazes up at the other man.]


What?

[Daan looks truly baffled for a moment, then he realizes Marcoh's line of thinking. There's a sharp shake of his head.]

No. Marcoh, you haven't killed anyone in this city and definitely not me. That was-- honestly, I don't know what the fuck that was. But something is... is just messing with us.

[He itches to ask about Caligura. But he'll wait; he's more focused on Marcoh right in this moment.]

[personal profile] cranekin 2023-08-22 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, sorry, sorry.

(He raises a hand in front of him, as if pleading for forgiveness even if he doesn't seem too sorry. He wasn't trying to scare him!)

Let's see you do it the next time.

(He isn't the type to get people to stop doing things if they don't want to. It's better to let them try and learn their limits on their own. More effective even if it takes longer.)

Surprise me.
fanstheflames: (I begged you to come back in)

[personal profile] fanstheflames 2023-08-22 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, no! I've been okay here!

[ Thankfully. And she even waves her hands in front of her to reassure him just how okay she's been, apparently. ]

... Also, you're bleeding.

[ the thumping had been like the thrum of a vacant heartbeat. kaveh had followed it to its source, and his own heart had lodged in his throat at the sight of it - bleeding fists, bloodied hands.

this isn't right, he thinks, as he paces forward, his hands already sifting through his little totebag at a clip.
]

Ah - please, stop! It won't open that way anymore!
limbical: (ok as you can see)

You know, Marcoh, it's okay to not be okay sometimes.

[It's not that hard to see it. How much Marcoh wants to reassure, be the strong one. It's endearing, but it's also terribly self-sacrificial to the detriment of Marcoh's health. Not ideal.

There's the difference between them. Marcoh dislikes to worry others, and Daan is a mess of self-loathing and self-deprecating.]


I'm not hurt. [Daan crouches by the other man. He isn't harmed, but he realizes that his mental toll has been through it ever since people -- or close to them -- started showing up. Illusions, then? By the looks of the mannequin, that seems to be the case.

But he remains evasive, asking instead:]
By the sounds of things, you and Caligura knew each other. Before Prehevil?

[His tone is completely lacks any judgment. Really, he's just genuinely curious. Caligura is nothing like Marcoh, at least from what little he knows of either of them.]
limbical: (who wants to dig)

[personal profile] limbical 2023-08-27 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
The Family. I see.

[That might better explain the scars on Marcoh's hands, to be honest. Sure, scars can happen during a boxing match, but if you're trying to hurt someone who has a knife, well... that's a bit different. Knives aren't typical for boxing matches, after all.

The cogs turn in his head, but he remains calm and patient. Easier to think about someone else's troubles than his own, anyway. Besides, Marcoh seems to have a load he's been burdened with.]


I did think it was a bit odd how far from Vatican City you were, but I figured it wasn't my business. Everyone's got their reason to have gone to Prehevil, after all.

Was it Family business that took you there?
