homeless, probably looking?

[gothics]

...Mun-san, are you sure about this? I wouldn't mind getting out more often, but--

I don't know. I suppose I have no choice in the matter, do I?

[gothics]

No. It's Kijima... san.

[meteorstorms]

Have you seen him?

[gothics]

[ shakes head ] She's not thinking of taking him in... yet. I'm hoping she wouldn't.

[meteorstorms]

I won't let anything happen to you.

[gothics]

...Ryusei-san.

[ softly: ] I... know you won't. [ perhaps it's a good thing kijima's puns are a bit hard to do, right? ]

[meteorstorms]

[honest smile, not a fake]

Don't worry about it.

Probably

[gothics]

Would... you like something that will help keep you safe?

[meteorstorms]

I'm sorry?

[gothics]

I've made several warding charms that might help drive evil away. I've read it from a book I bought in an occult store.

[meteorstorms]

Do they work?

[gothics]

Mm! However, there are still some things needed to be done first to ensure they will work - but Ryusei-san is willing to do them, right?

[meteorstorms]

What should I do?

[gothics]

Ryusei-san... should offer a sacrifice to the Goddess of Protection first, while dancing under a full moon.

[meteorstorms]

What kind of sacrifice?

[he's sure goat blood leaves nasty stains]

[gothics]

Any kind of blood sacrifice, really. You can use animal blood or even human blood, if you want.

[meteorstorms]

How much blood?

[gothics]

A... few drops.

[ why that expression ]

[meteorstorms]

[he's not used to ritual sacrifices! But it's not like she'll be there to see him do it ...]

Okay. Thanks, Tomoko-chan.

[gothics]

Anything I can do to help keep you safe, Ryusei-san. You've always helped me in the past before.

[meteorstorms]

[fidget]

You would help me too, right?

[gothics]

Of course. I'll be happy to.

[meteorstorms]

I'm not used to giving sacrifices.

[gothics]

Most people aren't, too. They think it too... weird or creepy.

[meteorstorms]

[so does he ...]

Where does the blood go? Do you just dance and throw it around?

[gothics]

[ .................:( ]

No! You'll make a mess that way - and it'll be dangerous especially if you're using your own blood. You place three drops in the middle of the charm, and then cast it into a bonfire. Then you dance around it.
