Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tegi couldn’t figure out what to say. Sure he wasn’t dead, but he couldn’t tell the extent of damage done to his back. “I’m fine!” he chirped. It was a flat out lie and he knew it, he just didn’t want to make her worry about how bad off he was. She should focus on protecting herself, not tending to my slip-ups…But Retra easily spotted the biggest red flag to his façade as she knelt next to him, and the way she asked if he could still fight made it sound like his injuries were pretty nasty. “I’m not letting you have all the fun that easy!” he laughed. Tegi’s confidence about fighting sunk a bit though once he thought about it further. He did get in a few hits on the undertaker, but he probably wouldn’t be able to keep up as well as before. And then there were other matters of course. “Something’s different about her now” he frowned, gesturing to the raven-haired girl, “I’m not sure if we’d even be seen as allies at this point”.

He took the sharpened stick from Retra anyways and looked at it with utter confusion. What was a stick suppose to do that couldn’t be done without it? While it could be useful against whatever was special about the undertaker's weapons it certainly wasn't for the swords themselves. The last thing Retra said made him look up nervously. Being “patched up” always resonated as a bad experience. Tegi trusted her despite his fear, but he couldn't promise to not freak out. Even more so, walking around shreaded up would draw attention, which could draw them in. He was scared just thinking about it.

"Amilia!" his cry to the unresponsive partner was cut short as she tugged her arm away. He rebounded from the released force of her letting go and turned... to see her be slashed by the blades
"No!" He didn't like this part of DMWL. The murderous insane inmates.
His place was on the stage. Not here. Not on a bloody field.

His cry was cut short as her branch of sin activated.
Of course he didn't know it as such... just as a terrifying blood... thing.
And somehow she seemed completely different.
Like some sort of freakish red blood bird...
And then someone else was...
Shawns brain was struggling to put it all together. He had only heard! Never seen!

Okay. There was a guy with a sword who seemed to act completely without compunction. There was the intimidating man- Tegi- who seemed like maybe he wasn't such a bad guy. Even if he was a murdering-blood-freak or whatever.
And a girl who had tried to skewer sword guy but was knocked out of the way by Tegi.

And...
Then there was Amilia.
He wasn't sure what to do anymore. His reality of PEOPLE had changed. These were monsters.

Monsters... he had known a few in his time here. Hell, a few performed in his show. But they were HUMAN monsters. And even among that sort of monster, they were... monsters by necessity, not by temperment. People who had done awful things, but who weren't so awful themselves.

These.
These he wasn't sure about.
He stayed back and down, hoping that if he didn't move very much maybe he could stay out of the fight. He crouched, moving back and away from the bloodbath.
He praised his lucky stars that he wasn't injured- that meant that if things got REALLY bad, he could run. Maybe find a guard.


((Edit OOC: should I bring Nina in on the action?))

Amilia's anger rose and she grabgbed the man's blades and pulled back, yanking his blades from his hands and pulled them out from her than threw them across the room. She brought her wings up to him and narrowed her eyes. "You...You incompetent fool..Your song wreaks of death and destruction....I would hear the song if it sang of love and happiness...Leave here now you fool....Or i will sing you my song...a song of merciless revenge."

*his eyes seem different than before calm* are you going to kill me? huh girl? *starts to cough up blood, blood is streaming from his wounds on his shoulders and thigh* go ahead girl indulge in your murderous instinct *voice is almost to a whiper goes down on both knees, arms dangling on his sides* go ahead girl....

Upon his name being called Tegi looked up a bit, only to see the girl from before running toward him. This time however, she didn’t have blood surrounding her small frame and her eyes were blue. He didn’t remember them ever being blue. Those hanging thoughts were scrapped though when the word “medics” dripped off her lips. His eyes widened and he flinched away from the girl. Medics were never something Tegi wanted to affiliate with. The only thing they did was cause more pain, all the while with straight faces. It was scary, terrifying, he never wanted to suffer under their hands again. Or rather he wouldn’t let it happen again. “N-no it’s fine I’m fine everythings fine!” Tegi stammered hastily. The high spirited deadman from before was now reduced to a trembling, disheveled child. He turned away and tucked his head to his knees, eyes shut tightly. “They’ll hurt me again…I don’t wanna be hurt again…”

The sudden feeling of arms lacing his shoulders made Tegi relax a bit. A small whimper sounded upon initial contact, but it gave a sense of security that curling up in a ball didn’t quite satisfy. “But what if…all the blood…they’re not dumb, they’ll try to follow it.” The words came out muffled and, much to his disgust, choppier than intended. He didn’t like the situation at all. If they did end up finding him he was just as well off as the child from so many years ago. They could overpower him again and could hurt him again too. The only difference was that the ones around the prison were far more ruthless. But if I don’t move from here I’ll probably end up dead… Tegi sighed and reached to Retra’s hands, pulling himself upright and wrapping an arm around her shoulder for support. Geeze why does everything have to be so spinny? He leaned more heavily into her, closing his eyes and holding his head with his free hand. “Can we wait till the courtyard stops thinking it’s a carousel?”

*starts to laugh gets up and gets swords* not a life taker *laughs harder* a person who murdered her best friend is showing me mercy *laughs very loudly* i wonder what made you snap? huh girl? I bet you enjoyed their blood on your hands enjoyed it to their last second!!!
