[ keito spotting the shed immediately makes eijun's head whip around to look at it. he stage whispers: ] Great idea! [ as the terminator starts to shoot at the bleachers instead of at them.
well that works. carefully, as quietly as possible, he starts to creep towards the shed, then pick up speed. for once in his goddamn life, he's not yelling as he runs and practically flies at the door, reaching over to rip the rusty handle open. it creaks, loudly, and eijun swears, but throws himself into the shed with keito still in his arms like an action star. ]
Here! Okay, as long as we're quiet, we should be okay--!!
[whispered, of course. he peels himself out of eijun's arms and motions eijun to follow him into a cluttered corner blocked from sight by metal shelving. it's as good a defense as anything else would be. their only other option is to barricade the door–something keito finds more impeding than helpful. it's not like the terminator couldn't blast its way in anyway.]
[ eijun sucks in a breath to say something, making a rather offended noise, but he does have a point... maybe eijun can be. a little. loud sometimes.
huffing, he starts to follow keito towards the corner, picking his way in. he shoves up one of the shelves a little, making a soft scree noise--to which he whispers an apology--and then climbs in with keito, sitting shoulder to shoulder with him and, wisely, putting his hand over his mouth like a kindergartener.
outside, there's the sound of clumping, robotic footsteps. eijun whispers: ] Are we gonna die?
Maybe I am! [ that feels sort of...right, really, based on his dream. it feels like they've passed whatever trial eijun's dream set out for them, and the wolf even gives a singular thump of his tail.
he leans back a little from the wolf to look at his face, putting his hands around his fluffy ruff. ] Doesn't he look kind of familiar...? Maybe? You should come look at his face!
[ It would hardly be the strangest thing about Eijun. He has a way of making just about anybody get along with him, after all, so if it works with people, why not with a wolf?
Mao finally leaves off his petting when the wolf sits down, which means he's free to come around when Eijun says he should. He moves slowly, not wanting to startle it--him, apparently, if Eijun's right--then looks at the animal's face. Are wolves supposed to have blue eyes...? ]
I can kind of see something but I've never seen a dog that looks like this before.
[ the wolf is utterly placid, now, even when mao moves around to him. it just looks at him, huffs a big, wolf sigh, and ducks its head.
eijun makes a cheerful noise, almost as if in victory, and reaches out to scratch it behind the ears. ] It's cool though, right? I wonder if my apartment complex would let me have a wolf as a pet?
[ ...There's something even more familiar about the wolf when it makes that noise. If a wolf can have blue eyes then a wolf can definitely sound exasperated and resigned, which is what he swears he just heard. The animal can't be that upset, though; it lets Eijun continue his attentions. Mao has to laugh at the wolf's reaction to Eijun's idea, but it also gives him an idea. He comes to sit on the ground next to Eijun, looking up at the wolf. ]
It is really cool, but it'd be even cooler if it could understand us. I think it might be able to, from that reaction.
[ eijun looks curiously at mao when he suggests that. it's a wolf, a big scary dog that was trying to eat them a few minutes ago, there's no way--
but the wolf just stares at them for a moment, then gives what looks like a nod of its head. eijun crows, almost scrambling up to his feet. ] Wha-wha-wha, Mao!!! It knew!! Do you think it can talk?! Hey, hey, I'm Eijun!! Why were you trying to eat me!?!?!
[ the wolf lolls its head and looks directly at mao. if a giant animal could look deadpan, this wolf would be pulling it off with aplomb. ]
[ Mao's consumed his fair share of cartoons in his time so while the reaction from the wolf isn't totally unexpected, it still makes him laugh. He just nods to the wolf. They're both thinking it. ]
I don't think so or him would've talked by now, probably. That doesn't mean you can't talk to him, though. Just stick to yes or no questions, like... were you really trying to eat Eijun?
[ Mao's counting on a no on this one here, please don't let him down. ]
[ eijun looks absolutely terrified, pointing at the cat ghost on ritsu's shoulder. he's even gone pale, practically. ] Th-th-th-th-there! Right there!! It's on you, don't move!! I'll wave it off!!
[ and he starts to move forward to edge the cat away.... ]
there's something sort of...awesome?? about anya holding a gun like that? eijun stares at her for a second with his mouth hanging open, because what else do you do when your cute female friend is armed and dangerous? ]
N...o? [ ........ he shakes his head. ] No! I mean, definitely not!
[ eijun squawks as he goes flying down to the ground--he manages a gasped out ] Senpai--!! [ but once kuramochi's over him, he's maybe a little thankful. the terminator's bullet goes flying over where he'd just been standing, and eijun's already pulling at kuramochi's arm to get him to stand up. ]
We've gotta--we've gotta go!! C'mon, we gotta find somewhere safe!!
[Kuramochi stands up running with Eijun to find a safe place where they can hide. He's looking around for a place they can go, somewhere they can hide behind so this guy can't catch them. If they can run out into the open they can try to hide behind a bush or tree or something.]
Eijun! Let's try to run outside! If you have another place we can go we can go there too!
[ this is eijun's dream, though he doesn't quite realize it. it falls to the wills of his subconscious, which means as they're dashing across the baseball field and out of the way of the terminator, a fortress appears in the distance.
it's not just any fortress, though. it's a fortress made of tires, because of course it is.
eijun starts pointing, making a loud noise that's probably "here" or "go", but he ends up just grabbing kuramochi's arm and running. he definitely can't keep up with kuramochi, but he'll do his best to not get shot at, as the terminator is definitely still chasing them, and firing his laser beam eyes in their direction. ]
[ Considering the fact they live in the same apartment building, it shouldn't come as any surprise that Koushuu winds up walking into one of Eijun's dreams eventually. He has to deal with them on the regular, anyways, when Eijun talks (yells) in his sleep.
This is an entirely different situation if there was ever one.
He takes one look at the situation, and were he anyone else, he may have barked out an incredulous laugh. As it is, however, he can tell immediately what's going on. Eijun is little red, and...
Apparently, he's the big bad wolf. He's not blind, nor stupid. ] Sawamura.
[ eijun looks up when he hears the familiar voice, though it's just for a split second, because he doesn't want to scare the wolf, who snarls the second eijun looks away. ]
Okumura! [ he greets, a little more quietly than usual, though he doesn't seem to be too freaked out by the gigantic wolf that is currently threatening to eat his face off. ] Don't get too close, I don't want you to get hurt.
[ Instead of listening to Eijun, Koushuu makes his way closer, shaking his head. Again, not blind. Maybe his pitcher hasn't figured it out yet, but he definitely has - this wolf is the nightmare version of him, for some deranged reason. ]
I'm not going to get hurt. [ Ideally. If that's a gigantic, nightmarish representation of him, then hopefully he's reading that particular part of this situation right. ] But you shouldn't look away from him.
if koushuu's particularly observant, he might notice that the wolf is roughly sixty feet away. sixty feet--the difference between a pitcher, and a catcher.
[ Thankfully for both of them, Koushuu is observant.
Which also means that he curls his lip a little when Eijun says doggy. It's the same look that earned him his nickname of wolf boy, and probably what led to this goddamn imagery in Eijun's head. Because that's about all the explanation he has for this one. ]
It's a wolf, Sawamura, not a dog. Just don't make any sudden movements.
[ As the wolf advances, so does the boy it's based on. Closing the space at the same pace. ]
O--okay. [ that's the first time there's any sort of fright in his tone, though it's mostly just concern as the wolf starts moving towards him on those giant paws. having koushuu there helps, though--it's almost like they're in tune with each other or something.
he takes in a big, deep breath, and then exhales softly, trying to stay as still as possible. sawamura eijun, staying still: that's how you know this is a dream. ] Ha...Okumura boy, I guess it makes sense. You're a wolf expert.

NIGHTMARE EVENT
KEITO.

[Wait. Hm. No. That's probably not what he should be saying.]
... I hope not.
no subject
he scoots forward just a little, as if putting himself in front of keito. ] Don't worry. I'll make sure you're okay!
MAO.
Maybe I am! [ that feels sort of...right, really, based on his dream. it feels like they've passed whatever trial eijun's dream set out for them, and the wolf even gives a singular thump of his tail.

[ ... ] ...maybe not.

It is really cool, but it'd be even cooler if it could understand us. I think it might be able to, from that reaction.
[ And this time he addresses the wolf. ]
So can you?
no subject

RITSU.
[ eijun looks absolutely terrified, pointing at the cat ghost on ritsu's shoulder. he's even gone pale, practically. ] Th-th-th-th-there! Right there!! It's on you, don't move!! I'll wave it off!!
[ and he starts to move forward to edge the cat away.... ]
Re: RITSU.
What are you talking about? You sound crazy.
[The ghost bats back at Eijin.]
no subject
I'm not! I swear there's a ghost! [ ... ] Am I paranormal?! Am I dead!? Is that why I can see it?!
[ ritsu you hit the jackpot he is such an easy target ]
no subject
Oh this was going to be a lot of fun~]
You know...I heard those close to death can sometimes see spirits?
no subject
[ yeah, eijun turns pale, looking absolutely horrified. he even clutches his chest. ] You don't think I'm---!!!
no subject
I would be careful of what you have planned today?
ANYA.
[ you know what who cares it's a dream.
there's something sort of...awesome?? about anya holding a gun like that? eijun stares at her for a second with his mouth hanging open, because what else do you do when your cute female friend is armed and dangerous? ]
N...o? [ ........ he shakes his head. ] No! I mean, definitely not!
MOCHI.
[ eijun squawks as he goes flying down to the ground--he manages a gasped out ] Senpai--!! [ but once kuramochi's over him, he's maybe a little thankful. the terminator's bullet goes flying over where he'd just been standing, and eijun's already pulling at kuramochi's arm to get him to stand up. ]
