Teenagers Scare the Living Shit Out Of Me etc. etc.

[Characters passing by the bulletin board may notice a new message tacked to it!]

Drinking party at the bar at 8pm. Under 21 only. Adults will be persecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Fun and games included, party hats optional. Don’t be late!

[Sure enough, there’s a gathering of teens (and maybe some not-so-teens?) to be found in the bar! While the posting mentions this is a teen only event, adults are in fact allowed as long as they are cool. OOCLY please be aware there are going to be teens drinking alcohol and possibly smoking! Also additionally, please let the teens/players have fun; again, adults are allowed but only if they’re cool enough to play along without snitching them out!

All party game top levels are going to be made under Ahito’s account but please assume ICly that Akira instigated/explained them! Once the game toplevels are up you can also post your own toplevels to mingle freely if you like IDK IT’S A PARTY HAVE FUN]

[Ugh, how could this happen to him and also why was it Mika of all people who got him.]

...There were two times I nearly died. The witches, the chimera - they wouldn't stop targeting me.

[shortleash]

And you wouldn't tell me? Why?

[dyingtohealyou]

Because I didn't actually die. All's well that ends well and all that.

[shortleash]

Do you think I just—

( Does he have the words for this? He isn't sure. But he sure is upset. And Ahito went and lost the bracelet, allegedly, so maybe he just... cares way more about Ahito than Ahito even thinks of him.

Which is both embarrassing, and sad. )

... Forget it. If you don't give a fuck about your safety, why should anyone else, right.

( )

[dyingtohealyou]

This is exactly why I didn't want to say anything.

If I didn't care about my own safety, do you really think I'd be alive right now? That's two separate times I could have died - but I didn't. And I can tell you now no one else there had time to help me, either.

[shortleash]

Do you think I'd be angry at you for getting targeted or something?

( Obviously, he would simply blame the rest of North for not helping Ahito anyway. "They were busy—" skill issue. die. )

That doesn't explain why you refused to say anything.

[dyingtohealyou]

...

[He hates this truth spell, actually. It feels like the very words are being dragged out of him.]

Because you already worry enough, and I don't want to be added to all your other reasons for feeling guilty when there's no way it would've been your fault.

[revengier]

You nearly died?

[dyingtohealyou]

[Twice!]

Was all the blood not a give away...

[revengier]

I was hoping it was the blood of your opponents.

[dyingtohealyou]

We made a lot of preparations beforehand so we'd be able to handle whatever dangers we came across - which we did.

[As evidenced by the fact that they all returned alive and all that.]

[revengier]

[ He sighs. Ahito is right about that (god ahito stop being RIGHT) so he doesn't nag him. ]

...Even so, I'm glad you didn't actually die. [ ... ] I don't know what I would have done.

[foresightis2020]

[ .........

What.

He's watching this conversation just happen on main, I guess. ]

I see. So that is what you left out.

[ He says this calmly with admonishment, just because, hm. Mika scolded Ahito mostly anyway, but you know. ]

[dyingtohealyou]

Would telling you have made any difference? It's already obvious how dangerous it was.

[foresightis2020]

Maybe so.

[ ... ]

However, I'm sure if someone you cared about had nearly died twice you would wish to know of it instead of finding about it far later, or not at all.

[dyingtohealyou]

The people who matter already know what my past is, and what would have led to it.

[They can put two and two together, surely.]

[foresightis2020]

[ Staring at him. Just quiet for a moment, before he asks: ]

So do you expect others to react like this doesn't matter at all?

[lustro]

[ ... ]

[dyingtohealyou]

[You don't even know him you get no opinion here.]

[lustro]

[ Inserts opinion anyway cuz someone said they could take care of themself and nearly dying doesn’t count. ]

[dyingtohealyou]

[He took care of himself! That's why he's still alive now!!

This is why he didn't want to say anything smh.]

[lustro]

[ Consider: the reactions now are worse than they would have been if he’d just told people the first time around. CONSIDER!! ]

[troublereduction]

[ ...

Well. Maybe Day should have given more credence to the bloodstains. ]

[dyingtohealyou]

[Shhhhh he lived so it's fine.]
