He had to stifle a laugh at her comment about his teeth, it was pretty funny, but she was like a china doll by comparison. “I’ve never met a Conquest anyone.” He admitted.

“That must have been…something else. You should bring a partner too.” He added. “I didn’t really realize that that kind of thing could be in there, I met, time before last a thing called itself…needle.” He rolled his shoulders. “We …actually ended up talking about tattoos, so that was weird but not so scary.”

He shifted on the bed, glancing away for a long while like he might not answer.

“Shadow… puppet almost.” He said after a long moment. “Face like a mask, it never changed. It didn’t give a name like the last one.” He twitched his shoulders in a shrug. He really didn’t need to share it hadn’t been his first meeting with the thing.

“I guess I just froze up. That is the…shittiest I have done outside the sparring grounds.”

party time


Zac watched the contents of the bag be spread out around the bed and the table. He shook his head slowly in amazement at the collection.

“Zac, if you didn’t get that already.” He said with an at least slightly amused look.

“Oh brother.” He added with a sigh at the question.

“Wouldn’t it be a shorter list to say ‘what didn’t?”

What Boredom?

Oliver felt heat rising in his cheeks. "Ah, n-no, I just... um... He scratched the bridge of his nose where it was crossed by his scar. "I d-didn't think they were a big deal, b-but you can use them if you want!"

The boy sheepishly looked down at his feet. "I-I'm not very good at drawing... b-but I do like drawing dinosaur bones." Anything else was always rough and unpracticed, but skeletons just made sense to him. He loved how much you could learn about dinosaurs, and other creatures, just from looking at the bones.

late night wanderings


The hallway of Deus Ex Machina was relatively deserted, but Chance Bones was still idling his way down the dormitory doors, taking his time on the way back to his room. It was nearly three in the morning; he should have been sleeping, and yet, the insomnia ate at him like a hunger, crawled in his stomach and settled there.

He wondered vaguely if anyone else was awake.

New Friend

The unintentional tease made her flushed, it faded quickly as she nodded. Pouting, but not offended, "many will volunteer to be my partner if I asked, no worries. Needle? They surely have weird fun names. I see, a friendly one, I have met a friendly Cheshire Cat boy as well, he had no intention to harm me but gave me riddled chats. That's why I doubt the saying that they were all hostile, I don't know." She shrugged.

The petite girl pulled Zac into a sudden but gentle hug after the mentioning of the shadow puppets. When she was younger, they watched horror movies sometimes and rarely some will frighten her, haunted her with nightmares. "You did good, you came back alive for the one you loved. That's important." She said softly, as if she had lost someone she cherished. Patting lightly at his back, but not quite reaching the centre, they shared some comfortable silent moments.

"Let's kick their butts together. Bring me with you next time!" The girl rolled up her sleeves and said with a cheerful voice and winked to the hunter after some times had passed. She even diverted attention to another topic, "You said you talked about tattoo with the creature, you love tattoo? Do you make them? Is there one you are proud of you can show?"

Shu's questions always came in a stack, not one.

party time
Horace snorted. "This would be very awkward if you were not Zac. Zac Wiremu, sun hunter, trainee, naginata - fall angel. I read your file. Some information is, of course, not open to trainees." Generaly speaking, original location, family members, and other sensitive topics were not open. Horace looked forward to one day having access to absolutely all of it. Until then, he wrote down the bits that he gleaned from each hunter. His own files.

"You gonna take a partner next time? Pick a moon - it's made to be a duo, after all." Horace was intensely curious about what he fought and how, but he imagined the other hunter had probably already answered enough questions about that aspect. "Dawson's a good guy - got a shield too."

What Boredom?

“You’re good… trust me!” He scolded, tapping at the drawings. “Trust me… come back in a day or so… your skulls and my designs, I bet we can satisfy even your nerves.” He grinned; it felt good to want to do something again, a flicker of the fire, the drive to just keep moving instead of stopping.

“Trust me enough for that?” He smiled.

“Your favorite bones, shaped out to something that will truly stay with you.”

“Cheshire cat.” He nodded. “Like… like Alice in wonder land?” he added after a moment, surprised to hear that what he thought of as popular fiction was perhaps telling of an actual creature.

“Are other things from that book real as well?” He added eyes widening. “Is there a Jabberwocky? What about the white rabbit, or the red queen? I can’t really see the Rabbit being terrifying, but… maybe card soldiers.”


He hesitated though realizing her own reaction to the shadow creature mentioned, what she said, HOW she had said it.


“…Did you meet it too? Or…did someone you know run into it?” He asked softly.

Yes that bypassed her request to be brought with him next time. But… He didn’t really deserve comfort for being a damn fool did he.

“… Promise though, when I’m out of here I’ll show of my tattoos, their…big.” He grinned. “Right round here…down to here” he indicated places on his chest. “And over my shoulders… the legs go right round too.”

“…Huh.” Was the quiet reply to the spew of information about him that came gushing forth from Horace.

“Right, that’s not a bit creepy.” He said with a sarcastic and wry smile.
“So…you’re what, death division? That why you have my records?” He arched his eyebrows.

“… My, roomie is a moon.” He added thoughtfully. He wondered what she was going to say when he finally made it back to the dorm given she’d added the cut to his cheek, even ‘autographing’ the chart under ‘cause’.

“…not sure she’s going to forgive me for a while though.” He added thoughtfully.

What Boredom?

"W-wait, y-you mean like a tattoo, for me?" Oliver stammered, unsure of how to respond. He didn't think he was the type to get a tattoo, that sort of thing was for cool people, or tough people, of which he was neither. He was merely a geeky gamer with an equally geeky fascination with dinosaurs. One who had seen better days, he thought, rubbing the bridge of his nose where the healing scar still itched on occasion.

But Zac seemed to have a different impression. "D-do you think i-it would... um... I-I don't know... I-it sounds painful..." The boy's protests became weaker and weaker of their own accord. He didn't outright say no though, despite all his hesitations.

“Yeah…they hurt a bit, but people who get them tend to get more for a reason.” He flashed a grin. “So its not so awful really if you think about it, and part of it comes round to where you get the thing.” He added earnestly. “I’d warn you off getting it anywhere too bad I swear.”

What Boredom?

Oliver stopped to silently consider the offer. Of course, pain was part of his worries. Nobody liked pain. He had come close to dying out there in the Sahara not so long ago and had his fill of pain there.

The biggest concern rattling about in his mind was the permanence of such a tattoo. It required decisiveness, and a certain level of confidence, and Oliver was fairly sure he was lacking in both regards. You couldn't simply load up a save file in the real world if you made the wrong choice.

It was easier for the boy to look at the notepad rather than chance meeting Zac's eyes. "A-are you sure it wouldn't be kind of ridiculous, for someone like me?"

"Creepy? You wound me. Actually, I am death, but that all is public record - anyone can look at it. " Horace flashed him a grin that was not at all of the conforting type.

He snorted. "If she's a moon, you should drag her along. Suns and Moons were meant to be two halves of the same coin; no other divisions fit together quite like that." And it was damn romantic, Horace thought. "Anyway, take care of yourself, alright? I'd smack you, but you'd probably turn to painful dust and blow away."

She nodded, "exactly. Blue and dark grey stripped - striped! Can vanish and re-appear as he wishes. Maybe, we couldn't chat much because the House got angry with us and I didn't get a chance to spy in the school area. But - it's possible. I was a white rabbit in the wonderland dream, and I assure you I am terrifying." Claws up, the girl feigned a scary look, eyed rolled big.

"Um huh." She hummed softly with a head shake. "I don't experience how you feel, I just know it can be awful...facing something scary alone." She didn't notice her smile was an ugly forced one.

Please....please don't let him find me...please - It was the prayer of a shaky little girl voice at the back of Shu's mind.

She was glad the topic was successfully diverted, "you're turning your body into a big canvas, that's awesome! When can you get out, your condition seems - still needs a week?" An eyebrow arched up as she evaluated. "By the way, does tattoo help to hide scars?"
