🌙 First Eclipse

[tsukihito]

🌙 The Arrival - Genessia City [action]

[It was early morning when this stark white traveler emerges from the Bay. Soaked to the bone and disoriented enough to ignore the hologram, this young man with white fluffy ears wanders down the street aimlessly clutching a green amulet in one hand dragging and a sword in the other. This disheveled creature wins a few odd looks from pedestrians since he's mumbling to himself.]

They stole it... [He grumbles under his breath with every lumbering step.] They lied. They stole it.

[The man comes to a slow halt once he reaches the other end of the street near the crosswalk. He simply stands at the crosswalk, his red eyes downcast. So perfectly still, he lingers there completely unmoving except for the slow rise of his chest. Tsukihito stays this way for what seems to be half of an eternity before suddenly snapping his head back and screaming at the top of his lungs---]

GIVE IT BACK! GIVE IT ALL BACK!

[Once done, the fluffy eared traveler collapses. His sword clanks noisly against the concrete and the amulet thankfully doesn't shatter.]

🌙 In Remeberance [video]

[Looking slightly better than earlier, Tsukihito appears on screen fully dried and a little more lucid. The tips of his fuzzy white ears are still wet though making him look more like a lynx than a kitsune. It's kind of cute but be damned if he thinks so. Tsukihito hates to be called "cute" even if it's true.]

Why was I summoned back here? [The fox boy demands with a rather grave expression.] What do you want from me!? Return me at once!

Go pray to your foreign gods. I do not hear your prayers.

[He seems to sulk a little when he says that last bit. It's almost as if he's disappointed in himself.]

I'm naught else but mortal now. Go pray to someone else, heathens.

[Leanne was on her way to work when she spots the fox man wondering aimlessly in the streets. She goes to follow him at a small distance, unsure if she should move closer to him but then his screams and then collapsing. She lets out a small gasp and hurries to his side.]

My lord! Can you hear me? Are you okay? [All of the worried cooing right now.]

[tsukihito]

[Tsukihito hears her but he doesn't budge an inch. Instead, he just lays there with his eyes closed trying in vain to drown out both the woman's cries and the nagging ache of his bones. He doesn't want to move, at least not now.]

Stop. [He mumbles.] Stop screaming.

I'm...fine.

[Nope. He's not fine. Not at all.]

[song_princess]

I apologize but I wasn't screaming....

[So many worried coos right now.]

Are you hurt? Come, lets get you someplace safe. [A small pale hand moves to give him a gentle nudge.] I will buy you some food.

[tsukihito]

Sounds like you were. [No, Tsuki. That's just the voices in your head yelling at you. The usual.] I'm well.

[After an annoyed huff, the fox boy opens his eyes and just stares at her.]

Eh? [His eyes narrow some as he studies her face. She looks so familiar---] Food?

[Well, hell! She said the magic word. Tsukihito manages to sit up but not for long. With a pained gasp he falls over on his side.]

F-Food may have to wait.

[It's later in the evening when Rip spots this and just kind of sighs.]

Let me guess, you've been here before und vas sent back. Now you're back again. Zomehow, I doubt 'Gods' haf anyzhing to do vith it.

Zhings like this just... happen. Besides, vhy vould anyone pray to you?

Re: [Video]

[tsukihito]

Because I'm a God, woman.

[This response comes a bit later, maybe a minute or so.] Or rather I was a God.

I tried to save you heathens from yourself but so many of you are godless and without hope. I mean not to spurn my efforts a second time.

Re: [Video]

[singinghuntress]

[See this? This is Rip unimpressed with his former god status.]

First, I've dated Gods. You look adorable but nozhing special. Second, I'm a vampire, I'm sure God vants nozhing to do vith me und Third, I am fully capable of saving my self from vatever trouble I get in.

So cut zhe crap or you von't get anyone helping you for long.

Re: [Video]

[tsukihito]

Adorable? [He huffs rudely at that comment and those fluffy white ears arch backwards. The fluffy brat is annoyed.] A creature of darkness has no business even speaking with a deity, nevertheless insulting one. However, I'm benevolent.

[Not really. He's not very benevolent but she probably can already sense that about fox boy here.]

You speak far too boldly for my liking but that isn't unusual in this time and age, I see.

[carrythesin]

[Kirika happened to be around the area near the Bay with personal reasons. It was when she spotted the fox man who wondered aimlessly, disoriented. She watched silently in the crowd. For a human, Kirika was good at masking her presence from other humans, but not a demon or beast. She was used to the supernatural.

It was when he collapsed, she rushed over to him. Kirika placed a hand on his shoulder, gently.]

Sir! Are you okay? Can you hear me?

[tsukihito]

[He couldn't sense her presence right now even if he tried. Tsukihito is just far too exhausted, too fatigued. Everyone bone in his body hurts and then some. On a normal day, he would've detected Kirika's presence easily. He's a alleged "kami" after all, a god.

Though, he's definitely not a deity now considering how haggard he looks. If anything, Tsukihito is nothing but mortal.]

...I'm fine. [The fox lies once he's stirred awake.] As well as I can be.

[Now trying to rise to a sitting position, the fox boy turns and stares at the girl beside him blankly. Does he know her? Probably not but he recognizes this city quite well.]

This is...Genessia, yes?

[Seems like a certain someone been here before.]

[carrythesin]

[She didn't pursue to argue his condition, yet she didn't seemed startled by him. He was stabled, that's all it mattered. Kirika knell down to his height.

She nodded once to his question. So he was here before.]

[tsukihito]

Then I've been betrayed for second time. [The fox boy admits with a sigh.] I must return somehow.

Somehow, I must return back to my rightful home.

[While he certainly seems to be adamant about returning home, his body won't budge. The kitsune lingers there for a good while before attempting to stand. He struggles for a good while to remain upright but eventually he stands without aid. That's when he glances down at the girl beside him.]

Who are you?

[youfool]

[He looks familiar...]

Welcome back! Hah, no need to worry about heresy here.

[He worships the one true capital-g God, after all.]

To answer your question, Genessia is looking for those who demonstrate life best. Suppose you flunked the first time, but the world's fond of second chances, it seems.

Re: Video

[tsukihito]

Ugh.

[The thought of just falling on his sword here and now appeals to him suddenly.]

Of course. I see nothing has changed here. [He's irritated already with this peppy blond.] Flunked? Bite your tongue! My only failure is allowing this accursed realm to lure me back here.

Re: Video

[youfool]

[Easy there Judas; suicide's a sin.]

I wouldn't say nothing. But good things come to those who wait. I've never heard of entrance by allowance. Pray tell what tempted you.

[Video]

[despisesthegods]

Good thing I'm not much into praying to gods. Sounds like it would do you good to have some mortality.

[He doesn't tend to like them much.]

Re: [Video]

[tsukihito]

[That comment wins a legit snarl from the kistune. He gives this man a look of pure contempt.]

Do you know no fear? Even in this form, I can still render a mortal like you to ash.

Re: [Video]

[despisesthegods]

When you've already lived through your worst fear, there's not much else to fear, even you. Besides, you're not the first god I've met, and in my experience, you're all assholes who deserve to be brought down a few notches.

[In other words, no, he knows no fear.]

[Video]

[li_amaranth]

Fuck off and die.

I'm not about to pray to some fox-idiot that looks like someone's run away pet and complaining about mortality.

Re: [Video]

[tsukihito]

...What?

[The look upon Tsukihito's face is priceless. He jerks his head back and just stares at the screen in sheer bafflement.

What did she just say? Did she just swear at him? Oh, no...she didn't!]

Mind your tongue lest you're willing to part with it, woman.

Re: [Video]

[li_amaranth]

[Okay, that priceless look might cheer up her sour mood slightly. That is until he opens his mouth again.]

Oh yeah? You and what army you walking fur coat. I seriously doubt you could catch me or carry out such stupid threats.

So fucking put your money where your mouth is and don't threaten unless you mean it.

[Action]

[allforthem]

Woooah there..

[Sayaka p much swooped in to catch the guy. Sure he was hella bigger than her, but gosh darnit he was a new arrival! He needed help. She placed him gentle on the ground, and sighed]

Jeez..there really should be a welcoming committee here just in case this happens.

[she looked at the sword, bit her lip at wanting to see it more but instead she started to take him back in the shade from the heat. Sayaka splashed some water at his face, propping him up against the cavern's wall] Heey...guy. Come on...wake up..

Re: [Action]

[tsukihito]

[Tsukihito isn't used to being the "damsel-in-distress" but he was silently grateful not to hit the concrete. He's fatigued. Utterly exhausted and utterly weak. He cracks open his eyes briefly to see who rescued him but his gaze is horribly unfocused. Tsukihito slips back into unconsciousness for a moment before suddenly waking up once he feels water splashed upon his face.]

I'm...awake. [He announces quietly.] I'm awake.

[The fox boy sighs as he runs his hand down his face.]

Nngh. Tired...

Re: [Action]

[allforthem]

Thank goodness, I was not prepared to do CPR off-the clock. I would have, but you know.

[she sighed and sat back] You okay? You're taking this new place pretty hard there, bud.

[reaching into her bag she pulled out a fig bar] You should eat something if you're light headed. Here. [the caped girl offered it to the fox man]

[Action]

[koishi_komeiji]

He would awaken a short time later to a strange sight. Someone was crouched over him. Upon stirring she would hop back nervously, but she didn't run, leaning forward slowly again. Something round gently nudged his shoulder.

"Umm... Hello? Mister?" A pause as she inched closer again, tilting her head. It was a little youkai. A satori, no less. She didn't appear outwardly hostile at least.
