♞ II. written & action.

[holyknights]

[Like many others, the recent experiment had caused Elliot Nightray some grief. Unlike everyone else, though, Elliot wasn't worried about his "family" situation now that things were over with. Something else has been worrying him instead. Namely...]

Everyone affected by that experiment had dreams last week, right? Did anyone dream of things that didn't happen? Or things that couldn't have happened?

[Unfortunately, there isn't much to do since it's raining, so housemates can find Elliot sitting near the living room window, reading. It doesn't look like he's enjoying it, though. Something's really bothering him about those dreams.]

[seriously. At least the only person who knows about it is that black-haired guy, though...]

Yeah. I'm sure you're not really a murderer...

[...] Right?

[...]

What the hell do you think?!

[voice | filtered]

[sundead]

Well I'd like to think not, but I don't know anything about you.

[voice | filtered]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not! Murder is a despicable and shameful crime, so get that idea out of your head right now!

[We don't play around about this, man.]

[he just had to make sure...]

Okay, I believe you. Don't worry.

[voice | filtered]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

At least learn the name of the person you're accusing!

[voice | filtered]

[sundead]

[maybe he should be annoyed with this guy's tone, but for some reason he's just getting the sense he's kind of.... tsundere.]

Right, right... I'm Ayumu Aikawa. What's your name?

[voice | filtered]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[Good call, Ayumu.]

I'm Elliot Nightray. And I'm... [Well, Leo hadn't told him to apologize. He'd only said to sort things out. But that was moot since the experiment was over, right? So then, the next best thing is...] Sorry if I caused you any trouble.

[Perhaps not unsurprisingly, those last words are a little mumbled.]

[voice | filtered]

[sundead]

[he's used to the tsun warning signs.]

I probably caused more trouble than you last week.

[voice | filtered]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

Just how many people did you accuse of murdering you, anyway?

[/logical conclusion]

[voice | filtered]

[sundead]

Just you. I really did believe it then.

[he doesn't run around doing that for fun okay]

[voice | filtered]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

Then what did you do?

[voice | filtered]

[sundead]

Worried a bunch of my 'family' with the story.

[it's made him very glad his real parents never come home.]

[voice | filtered]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[...wait a minute.]

You told them you were a zombie, too?

[voice | filtered]

[sundead]

It was more like they found out by accident.

[voice | filtered]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

How?

[voice | filtered]

[sundead]

[Elliot doesn't seem like the type to use a weakness against him (unlike Haruhi) so...]

They had a 'family reunion' outside and... I don't do so well in the sun.

[voice | filtered]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[Wait.]

Y-you mean you're really a...

[voice | filtered]

[sundead]

[....oh.}

You still don't believe me?

[voice | filtered]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

I-I thought it was just... the experiment! How is that even possible, anyway?!

[voice | filtered]

[sundead]

Well.... magic. [best explanation ever, right?]

Someone I know back home is a necromancer.

[voice | filtered]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[Magic, huh? He'd heard of stranger things happening in his own world, too, but...]

It sounds like something out of a book.

[voice | filtered]

[sundead]

It turns out there's a lot of strange things around that most people don't know about. At least, where I'm from.

[voice | filtered]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

It's no different where I'm from.

[voice | filtered]

[sundead]

Oh? [that makes him kind of curious actually.]
