[ town filter ]

[ despite all the talk and the disappearances occurring in the town, uru hadn't stopped working till closing time at her job. if anything, they needed people to take some of those shifts because some of her own co-workers had changed their schedule around so they were working in the morning. it didn't bother her; they were scared obviously.

it... was a scary thought.

luckily, she lived close to her workplace so uru didn't need to think too much about it. she stepped up to her door and stretched her arms before she began digging into her pockets.

funny... she wasn't hearing a jingling sound... nor did she feel her keys in her pocket. oh... oh, crap. after another few minutes of searching her other pockets and her bag, she found nothing. she had lost her keys again? :/ and she couldn't go back to work because it was closed. it wouldn't re-open until 8AM.

with a glance in the castle's direction, uru sighed and starts off that path. ]

Leave him alone!

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

I can't...

[Just... tenses up a little. He sounds... ashamed of it actually. Wishes he could do something but the coin and Two-Face would never let him. He's so... weak. Brushes a hand through his hair]

Sorry. [He should stop apologizing...] Will you let me check your head now?

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ not like she can oppose him the way she is now. ]

You don't have to do this!

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

[But he... wants her permission first... augh. Shakes his head. NO URU YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND]

I won't. He will...

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ frowning. ]

But you can stop him, can't you?

[ this is crazy. ]

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

No. [Just... firmly. No he can't. Even if the coin hadn't come up in his favor, he wouldn't really be able to stop him...]

Please... Will you let me check your head...?

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ after some consideration, she nods. ]

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

[Oh thank goodness 8< Nods, and goes over to her]

[He's actually... surprisingly delicate, turning her head a little and brushing her hair out of the way. After a moment, he draws a kerchief out of his jacket and touches it to her temple...]

Does that hurt...?

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ she's surprised for a moment but still doesn't want to be touched by him. she turns her face away slightly.

this guy had multiple personalities. it was like something out of a crime show and she was living it now.

she wonders... if maybe someone would hear her if she started yelling. ]

A... bit.

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

[Understands... and lets her go when she turns. Ahaha he'd almost forgotten how much it stings... to have someone refuse to look at him. It's alright though. He'll... get used to it again...]

[Folds the kerchief away again] You should be fine... I don't think he managed to give you a concussion.

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ listening to him makes her wonder... harvey seems a lot nicer. so why...? when she looks at him again, she really doesn't see two-face at all right now. ]

Um...

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

[Doesn't... look at her this time, standing after a moment and fussing with his sleeves. Wanders a little ways away. Giving her space... because he's sure she doesn't want him anywhere near her... Should he ask...? Maybe...]

[Coin flip! And still not quite looking at her: ] Hmm...?

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ shifting uncomfortably, she debates asking him. but it seems like she can get stuff out of harvey. perhaps she could win his sympathies over?

truth be told, however, she was concerned and curious about his appearance. ]

What happened to... [ trailing off immediately. maybe this wasn't a bright idea. ]

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

[SHE ALREADY HAS HIS SYMPATHIES AHAHA]

[But he... smiles weakly to himself when he hears that. He's... so used to people just... knowing. It's weird to think anyone is unfamiliar with the story]

My face? You can say it, you know... [Clears his throat, and rolls the coin over his knuckles] Um... it was... acid. Awhile ago.

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ the color from her face drains at that moment.

acid.

holy... ]

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

[Glances at her, gauging her reaction and rolling the coin again. Twice this time]

Don't worry. It doesn't hurt anymore... [Except maybe sometimes when it's psychosomatic... but that's not important lksdf]

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

... Please don't do this.

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

[Little sigh...]

I don't have a choice.

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ firmly: ] That's not true. [ maybe... ] You don't have to listen to that other guy!

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

[Weakest... most resigned chuckle. Don't do this Uru )8]

It's not just him. [It's fate too... Flips the coin...]

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ what the fuck is with that coin. seriously.

but nope, not buying any of this yet. ]

You're going to try and kill a boy! [ killing is wrong enough but can't he see that's more than screwed up? ]

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

I know he will. [PLEASE STOP BLAMING HIM FOR THIS )8] But... he's right. You should be... more worried about yourself.

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ she is worried but a little boy > her own well-being.

after a long pause. ]

Then... he's [ she says that carefully ] going to kill me, right?

[sonsofzeus.livejournal.com]

He might... [Coin flip...]

You've got just as much a chance as anyone else.

[wornbright.livejournal.com]

[ okay.

that actually does sink into her head and she pales slightly. ]
