[Wow, that's weird. He doesn't shrug the hands off himself, and the breath brings goosebumps out on his skin. They make the thumping music sound more appealing. He's feeling kind of good by the time he gets to the bar with Shiraishi even though he shouldn't.

Look, he's a musical at heart.

His eyes appraise the statue before looking across the bar. Don't like the eyes. He nods at the shadowy bartender out of... politeness? Hi. He glances as Shiraishi leans in, and he's kind of curious about the pills, yeah.

But the finger comes up and he leans his head back.]


We don't eat them...?

[She is missing a head.]

[ this bartender is valid and for the moment i support them. ]

... Ominous.

[ he turns to look at the bartender, with something of a smile. ]

I presume we're supposed to be taking one of these conveniently placed pills. [ it... it ain't a question. ]

[Shiraishi makes the mistake of looking away at the bartender for half a second.

And Hizamaru reaches out to take the black pill and slide it into his mouth to swallow.]

[ well. yeah? yeah he should have expected that. shiraishi just sighs, but makes like no movement to stop hizmaru just moseying into the centre of the room like it ain't no thing.

instead, he just eyes the bartender for a moment longer -- hopefully making him uncomfortable as heck because he's rude -- before reaching out and taking the white pill in one hand. ]


It's definitely drugs, but there's no way to tell what kind until it's ingested. Hallucinatory? Possibly. A mood suppressor? [ Something to make him lose control of his emotions, which makes him... deeply uncomfortable in a way he's never really had to think about before. Every part of him knows that taking this would be a bad idea. ]

... But if they're here, they probably need to be taken to leave. Unless...

[ he glances over at hizamaru, just to make sure he isn't death dropping on the dancefloor and breaking his spine or something, before slipping away from the bar-- pill still in his hand.

he'll check those doors at the back first, to make sure he can see if they're important before he makes the choice to addle his mind for the sake of an exit. ]

[Well, he's a sword, and he's here to live his best life in this weird-ass new body, so he's definitely not saying no. Everything rushes over him at once, and his lashes flutter lower. He doesn't know who the person is, but he likes them. Sounds good. Feels good. All over.

There he goes.

He gets swallowed up by the shadowy figures, standing out only with the white of his uniform and green hair--his eyes are closed. He's a great dancer, but can he dance until he's dead?

GOOD LUCK, SHIRAISHI-SAN.]

[ wow i hate this. okay, he's going to have a staring contest with the door for a moment, before looking back at hizamaru who sure is having a blast dancing on his own. ]

Your brother will probably duel me to the death if you have a side effect, pass out and hit your head. Try not to fall.

[ but for the moment? the first door it is. he's not going to bound in, he'll stay cautiously to one side of the door frame -- especially after what happened with beck and the elevator last week. ]

[In the midst of the dancing, he can open his eyes here and there and see Shiraishi. The man stands out, but... hm? He doesn't recall coming with anyone. Did he...?

Ah well, he continues to dance to the music. It has lyrics, he thinks, and his brows notch. He's use to singing; he enjoys it. He craves what the words are so that he can sing along, too. But he can't make them out.

At first, he begins humming, but then he starts singing. It comes out in a very nice voice, but the words are garbled? Because he can't figure out what the lyrics are?]

[ ... (aside voice) we found the fuck room. But okay, fair enough. He'll just step out and close the door, and -- well. he'll move along checking all the doors as he goes, in the same manner so he can keep himself out of the way of anything that might make a wild swing for his face.

he does the occasional check back too see what hizamaru is doing though, as he wasn't kidding about higekiri probably fighting him if something happened to hizamaru and honestly he isn't about that life. (that is the only reason, obviously). ]

[At first, raising his lashes, he thinks it's Higekiri. It would make the most sense. But shadowy figures part slightly to let the person through, and it's not Higekiri at all reaching out through the fog and the noise and the paint for him.]

Prompto...

[They only had one chance to dance, hadn't they? Shiraishi can see him just stretching his arm at nothing, but it's fine. He doesn't hesitate to reach up and out, to put his hand in the one beckoning him. Time to dance surely.]

[ ... welp. that answers his question of whether or not he should consider popping that pill right now, just in case. his head did whip around when he heard exactly what name hizamaru spoke and --

that answers the question of what's going on here. it's definitely a hallucination, and one that's sudden become physical. so. now he's looked in those doors, he turns away and walks across the floor, just close enough to slide a finger up hizamaru's arm and tug it away, goo and all.

hmm. bad.

he doesn't say anything, he just looks at that creature. very pointedly. his free hand is in his coat pocket, i'm sure it's fine. ]

[ to his credit, shiraishi doesn't flinch when the creature screeches and hisses at him. he stands his ground, but when he sees the red seeping up on hizamaru's skin he... lets the creature have its way and tug hizamaru back towards him.

he even gives the creature a strange half sort of bow -- "go on then" -- with a smile on his face. but it doesn't reach his eyes, even more than it very often doesn't. his eyes are sharp, and remain on the creature the whole time. his hand still in his pocket. ]


A word of advice, Hizamaru -- [ and hey, is that the first time? he's used his name? ]-- whatever you took from the statue is making you hallucinate. Just remember that.

[ he doesn't move though. he just watches. ]

[Thank God he doesn't know about the terrible pain he's going to feel later! Though he does seem slightly irritated by the interruption when Shiraishi comes in. He doesn't get angry, but he does try to stay with "Prompto," looking confused.

It's fine?

Once they're together again, he tucks close, and they continue their awful dance. If his eyes flutter quickly, Prompto does seem... distorted at the edges, but he can't tell any difference. It looks exactly like the Prompto he remembers.]


I'll dance with you after, Shiraishi-san. [There's a drowsy, dreamy smile in his voice.] You don't have to feel left out.

[personal profile] felinguistic 2019-11-06 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ nothing else seems to happen indeed. well...

there's no indication the door has unlocked, and there's nothing in the rooms so. shiraishi dips his other hand into his other pocket and pulls out the pill. ]


This is a terrible idea.

[ it's said to no one in particular but. it's the only other thing in this room he can think of that might "need" to happen, so...

he sighs.

and takes the pill. ]

[Being covered with black goo for a second time is fine. It can't be any worse than being blood boiled out of the skin, right? He keeps dancing with Not-Prompto, with the deepest part of the beat, languid and heady.

In a very low, but dreamy voice, he repeats,]


You will answer to our truth,

[right about the time Shiraishi puts the pill in and swallows.]
felinguistic: (21)

[personal profile] felinguistic 2019-11-07 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
... You--

[ oh wow. that's terrible. He doesn't make much noise when the pill kicks in, but his hands do shoot up to cover his ears immediately -- it's so blinding that he barely realises he's hit the floor until he comes too a few moments later.

He's a little slower as he gets to his feet, hand clutching his head as he carefully straightens up, frowning at the music and the lyrics, his mind half whirring with the echoes of the pain from that pill and the now audible lyrics.

... This place is losing all its appeal now, so once he's a little less tender and bemused, he just marches over to the stage. Ducking and weaving through any figures that might be in the way and shooting sharp glares back at the creature still dancing with Hizamaru. He doesn't climb completely up onto the stage, but he does rest a hand on it before turning himself to slide up onto the edge of it. ]


Subtle. What do you want now?
leggymaru: (55 - vSUklaZ)

[personal profile] leggymaru 2019-11-07 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Please don't glare at Not-Prompto! He's having a really good time (pretending) to dance in gooey fervor with the strange creature that has Prompto's likeness.

He does glance at Shiraishi when the man moves away, but his eyes are dreamy and glassy, like he isn't paying too much attention to the why.]


Are you going to sing, Shiraishi-san? Ha ha.

[Sing for them while they dance or something.]
