thirteen [voice/action/just terrible]

[Mid-morning is drawing near, and the house is too quiet. Martel should have been awake already. Despite the uncertainty that has settled heavily between him and his sister, there are plenty of things Mithos does still know about her, and this is definitely out of the ordinary. Softly, he knocks at her door. No reply. With a knot of worry tightening in his stomach, he carefully pushes the door open to look inside and...

He's greeted by an empty room. No sister, none of her personal possessions. No sign that anyone had ever occupied this space. Only one conclusion sits at the end of this equation. Numbness overtakes his body and heart. Desperate, his mind fights against the truth; he runs for his journal and hastily, shakily, flips it open.]


[VOICE - filtered to Martel | filter VOIDED]

Martel? Martel! Where are--

[--He stops. The filter isn't working. She can't hear this. His journal falls from his hands and the feed ends. The chilling realization that she's gone pierces him as suddenly as the first time she was taken from him. Classic vertigo. He doesn't know how to breathe properly. He forgets how to stand on two feet and slowly crumples to the floor. He doesn't fall to pieces; that would imply that there's something left to break. Whatever remains is quickly grinding to dust. He lets it out, the pain that's rapidly smothering him from the inside. But no matter how much he diffuses, there's still more to take its place.]

[ACTION - AFTERNOON]

[He's scraped himself up off the floor (for now) and run out of tears (for now), and he needs someone to blame. Anyone. He doesn't care. The only truth of the world: Martel is gone, and he deserves compensation for his loss. Everyone owes him something, and he owes them retribution. Mithos prowls the village, looking for any and all opportunities to inflict some of his own pain on a scapegoat.

Later, when he's exhausted his body but his hurt and rage continue to burn, when he's hit the point where he can't feel any emptier, he reaches for the journal again. It's all he can think to do.]

...Can I come see you?

[ooc: For my own sake, chronologically the threads flow as follows: Frey, Nephry/Dist, Jeb, Silver, Grune/Dhaos, Kratos, Kaori.]

I didn't even say a word to you and you attack m- Arg! [hunching over with a gasp, but refusing to back down and resisting the pain. That blade is too sharp for that. With a shift of his grip on the ends of his weapon he's trapping the others weapon in the chains, trying to wretch it from his grip.]

[Can't let you do that. His grip on his sword remains firm, and he delivers another kick to Frey's gut. Harder this time, with a quick follow-up.]

Because you were there, and you don't deserve to be! [Martel is gone and if Martel isn't here why is anyone else it isn't fair it isn't fair it isn't fair]

[Damn it damn it- He finally gives, falling backwards, but as that happens he'll letting his legs out from under him and kicking back while trying to drag that weapon out of his grip still. And he's got quite a bit more leg then you do, kid.]

[He's jerked forward, but he refuses to let go -- his knuckles are white, his clenched hands shaking with tension. As he's pulled forward, he stomps his boot down in Frey's stomach for better footing.]

[Coughing and gasping for air, he kicks out violently in reaction, as hard as he can. It hurt, but more then that if this kept up he'd keep getting the breath knocked out of him.]

[This time, he stumbles to the side and loses his grip on his weapon. With nothing to hold onto, he falls to the ground.]

[Taking the opening for what it is, he surges back to his feet, tossing Mithos' weapon behind him while in the same moment twisting his nunchaku into a staff and pressing it against Mithos' throat lightly in warning. He's gasping for air, but isn't going to give Mithos the chance to attack him again.] Stop.

[his voice is raspy and cold between the labored breaths.]

[He glares up at Frey, leaning back slightly in an attempt to avoid the pressure at his throat. He isn't going to stop; he hurts way too much to do nothing about it.]

Shut up. [He takes hold of the staff, to push it away and try to climb back to his feet.]

[Frey responds to that by putting more pressure on his throat. He's not going to get attacked for no reason again.] Don't. I don't think I have to tell you I can crush your throat like this.

[A slight choking noise as the staff presses against his throat. He remains holding onto it, still trying to force it away.] Worth...less...!

If that's how you want it to be.... [....Fine. Then he's going to get his grip off the staff, first of all, going to yank it away. He might be letting you up Mithos, what do?]

[Sorry, Mithos. You don't get a chance to stand. Frey's taking a quick, hard swipe at his head, aiming to knock him out.]

--Ugh! [He's only halfway up when the staff connects with his head, knocking him out successfully and sending him back to the ground]

[Once Mithos is out, Frey just stands there, taking a second to breath and pull himself together as he looks at the blond boy.

His chest hurt and he wouldn't be surprised if he was going to be black and blue for a good while after the punishment Mithos put it through. But more then that, he was confused and overall, worried.

He'd just been attacked for no reason whatsoever by someone who was a 'friend' of Kaori's. There was killing intent there, for the simple crime that he existed.

This kind of hate... it was poisonous, wasn't it?

Sighing, he folds his weapon back up and stows it at his back, going to pick up the smaller boy. Mithos' weapon he could give a care less about, at the moment, and he leaves it where it lies.]
