Seventy-Fifth Cross [Accidental Video]

BZZZT!

[Weird thing is, it's been just barely over two weeks since he last used it. He's still covered in blood, the dark previously-liquid substance dried and somewhat caking from his skin, completely soaked into his clothes. Because he did not actually go home until today.

A shaky hand grabs the device and he looks at it, blood red eyes staring at the device, as if he didn't see it at all.

Barely a few seconds later, his eyes narrow and his lips purse together and turn into a small scowl.]

Ow.

Ce- Cecil?!

[Husbando, your waifu has been worried sick about you. And not like she needs to use her communicator since she's just in her room, but her communicator's right next to her...

She'll be rushing out of her room soon.]

Hn?

[He rubs idly at his cheek, looking at the device. It's working, yep...]

Rika, I'm... hungry.

I, I know... I'll make something for you and prepare the bath. You need to wash up too.

[After she switches off her device, she comes flying out of her room to meet him. She would be crying and hugging him but taking care of him first is the first priority.]

Cecil... have a seat and wait a little bit, alright? [She turns and calls out to the rest of the apartment.] Hanyuu, Satoko! Are you two home? Could one of you prepare something to eat in the kitchen?

[Satoko peeks in after hearing Rika's call.]

Rika, if you keep eating we won't have enough food fo-- [She sees bloody kid sitting down. Kid, in blood. Trembling as she steps back. Oh god, she might get a nightmare.]

Yeah... I do... I'll get to it. [Just covered in it. But the hollow feeling in his stomach takes priority so he just heads closer to Rika, wanting to reach for one of her hands...

But his are so gross... blood's caked between his fingers, underneath his nails, and it's kind of ugly to look at. Though as he hears Satoko's voice, he turns and looks at her. Why did she stop?]

Are you alright?

Cecil... what happened...?

[Unlike Satoko, she doesn't shrink back at the sight of all of it, but looks over him with concern. Despite all the blood, she would still allow him to touch her hands... but she's more focused him fed and cleaned up quickly.]

...Sa, Satoko. Calm down.

[She takes a step in front of Satoko, gently placing her hands on her arms to give her some reassurance. For a moment, she had forgotten the fact that Satoko just returned to Discedo and was lacking her memory of it. She wouldn't remember Cecil since she was a Satoko from a different lifetime...]

He's... he's a friend and he needs our help right now... I'll explain later. Can you please go into the kitchen and make something for him while I prepare the bath?

[Her body is trembling by the sight of it. Possibly picked up a memory of something. She was about to scream until Rika placed her hands on her. The girl jumped a little returning back to reality. Satoko turned her head back to Rika slowly and nods. She takes a couple steps back before turning to the kitchen.]

Okay... [She didn't know what to respond to Cecil at the time. Before entering the kitchen, she looked back at Cecil and Rika again. If Rika is calm about this, she should be too right?]

[And he just stares at Satoko's frightened expression with his bold red eyes and... sighs. Any other day, he'd probably watch these instances go on and see how much Satoko would be able to handle, but not tonight. Just food, and... zoning out--]

It's alright, Rika.

[He shakes his head, blinking his eyes twice to assure that he's still conscious. And with that, he turns around and starts walking towards the kitchen--trudging, mostly.]

...fine. I'm still going to prepare the bath and put out a new change of clothing for you.

[She leaves in the opposite direction to do just that, rushing to the bathroom to switch on the faucet and back out to Cecil's room. The water for the apartments was cold, but it was better than nothing. As soon as she has everything prepared, she'll go running back out to the kitchen to check on both Satoko and Cecil.]

[She's already warming something up on the stove. When she heard Cecil entering, she looks back to him.]

W-What are you doing? It's not ready yet.

[Or that. Time doesn't seem to be making much sense to him either. He just shakes his head at Satoko--no, he's not going to disturb her--and goes to sit down... on the floor because he'll mess up a chair if he sits on it.]

[After filling up the bathtub, Rika appeared in the doorway, holding a wet rag in her hands.

She walks over to Cecil and kneels down on the floor, holding out the rag to wipe off his face.]

...Cecil, you should use a chair.

[She'd rather have him sit on the chair and mess it up. They could clean it later.]

You should take Rika's advice Cecil-san. It's bad manners to eat from the floor.

[After warming something up, Satoko grabs a plate and adds the finishing touches.]

It's almost done, you should wash your hands and face at least.

[Bad manners. He almost laughs, but just nods and takes the rag, rubbing it against his face. He's not doing a good job wiping off the blood but he's cleared enough from his eyes and mouth that he can't taste or see it as much. Handing the cloth back to Rika, he stands and slides into a seat.]

Thank you, Satoko...

[Sighing, Rika follows Cecil to his seat, just to clean off his face a little more with the rag. She'll have to save her questions for him until after he rests up. Such a lucky boy has two girls helping him...]

[No kidding, he's worst than Keiichi-san. After she's done, she hops down a stool (or chair) and brings a plate over to Cecil. Satoko nods to Rika.]

[Not his fault, sheesh. He just lets Rika wipe at his face until the food's brought over, then carefully picks up his fork and slowly begins to eat.

Slowly.]

Thank... you both...

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I forgot about how it does that.

The shock?

Yeah.

The new ones... they don't shock as much. Thankfully. But they are still annoying.

I hope I never get shocked.

You should really clean up you know.

Are you hurt though?

I'm not hurt.

I just returned home. I'll clean up soon.

Oh! One of the people who disappeared, huh?

Disappeared.

What happened with that? Were we just gone?

I guess so. That's what people were saying.

Then everyone came back covered in blood and really confused.

That sounds about right.

It was a ridiculous waste of time if you ask me.

Well since everyone is alright, I guess so.

What happened in there?

Happened? Nothing.

It was just a void of blood and darkness... perhaps meant for us to lose our minds, but I'm sure I've felt much worse.

That's it? Well you guys were gone for days so, I can see how that would get to someone.

So we don't know who did it yet, do we? Do you think the Sorcerers did it?

How long were we gone?

Sorcerers... meaning the scientists, correct? It... may have been, but I'm not sure.

A handful of days I think?

Oh, yeah that's what they're called. Well maybe some of the others will know?
