Rogue X Run fast. Run silent. Run fast. Run silent. Run fa- "s**t!"
With all of her attention put in to running away, Tatriana didn't seem to notice the small box on the ground that led her to trip and fall. Sticking her hands out, she braced herself and landed somewhat softly, if she didn't already have gashes in her hands from a previous occasion in this hell known as Silent Hill.
Even through the tight bandages, she could feel the wounds reopening on the palms of her hands. Not wanting to leave any blood marks, she quickly got up and started running again, ignoring the burning of her muscles screaming at her to stop running. The bat hanging from her belt buckle didn't serve as a good weapon against mutant dogs, so she had taken to running. She could still hear the panting of the devil dogs that were chasing her, even though they were long gone behind her, having lost her scent at least an hour ago. A Spoonful of Agent ((OMG I POSTED WHAT 'CHU GONNA DO ABOUT IT 8D))
Part of the reason that the monster dogs had lost interest in Tatriana was the second scent they had managed to catch a whiff of. "Get the ******** away!" Arsen's gun would be useless once it was out of bullets. Bashing their demented heads in with the hilt of the metallic weapon wouldn't work incredibly well, and in the end, he was probably screwed once he stopped running. Had he actually expected to have to spend more than two dies in this hellhole, Arsen would have brought many more bullets.
Sprint, run, turn, shoot and repeat. There was a hoard of them chasing him now –and he'd only managed to get rid of a few. The things just kept coming. He found that some of them had gotten lost and separated from their pack. He wasn't normally afraid of dogs, but enormous dogs that chased and attempted to kill him were much worse than anything back home. He'd have preferred a rabid bulldog to them. It would probably be less deadly. Whenever a new street turned up, he quickly turned. A few of them were dispatched that way, but a small remainder of them managed to keep up. The rest of his shots had to be saved, so Arsen used only a few of them to get rid of his pursuers.
The final turn managed to get rid of the last of the Groaners. Sweating uncontrollably, Arsen kept running. The last thing he wanted was for more monsters to chase him. Rogue X ((OMFG, I'M GONNA BUST A CAP ON YO' a**!))
Tatriana quickly saw an apartment building and ran inside, kicking the broken doors open she ran up to the second floor where she had to twist a handle to open the door.
She quickly shut it and locked it, ignoring the throbbing pain in her hands before pausing... Was that someone else's footsteps?
She quickly ran to the balcony and opened the door, "Hey!" it was a person!
"Hey!" She heard the dogs, she figured they were probably the same ones who were chasing her before. She also figured that the dogs couldn't jump as high as the balcony was.
Now if this guy turned down the alleyway and in her direction, she could find a way to bring him up on the balcony, hey, Anything to not be alone in this freakish hell hole.A Spoonful of Agent ((D: ZO NOZ MAN. ZO NOZ.))
Arsen reloaded while he had time to. His shots weren't perfect -they never had been- but at least he'd downed the monster population of the stupid town a bit. But where were they all coming from? Probably some demon-pit or something. That's what it was like in the movies, anyway. But his movie experiences weren't going to be very useful when he was trying to take down actual monsters. Especially since he hadn't been paying much attention to the films themselves. After all, why would he go alone?
He turned again to distance himself even more from the dogs. The farther he could get, the better. It was then that he heard something. Someone, really. He couldn't be imagining things. It could just be another damned monster. But they had never spoken actually words. Just mostly screeches along with screaming and rapid growls. "What the hell..." He'd learned to expect odd things, but he hadn't heard another person's voice in forever, it seemed. Let alone a woman's. Arsen stared up, though he couldn't exactly see through the fog. "There someone 'round here?" He called, though hopefully not loud enough for the monsters to hear. Rogue X Tatriana sat on her stomach on the bars while wiggling her arms through more bars, trying to get to the drop down fire escape ladder. Of course, every second was more painful than the last as blood started to seep out onto the ladder, quickly letting go of it, it slammed to the ground with a loud, echoing thud.
"s**t... uh.. run towards the loud noise?... er, fast?" She sat up and looked at her hands, she was definitely going to need new bandages... an antiseptic would be good too, she would need her hands if she was going to survive in this place.
"There's a ladder leading up to the second floor of a random apartment building, climb up then bring the ladder with you... I have to... eh, screw it. Follow my voice!" She leaned back and looked from the foggy area to her hands and back to the foggy area. A Spoonful of Agent Arsen ran through the fog, navigating his way around as best he could. If he could hear her, she couldn't be that far away, could she? He had to resist the urge to start calling 'Marco' to her in hopes of a reply that he could follow. But then, there was a loud crashing noise. So much for trying to be as quiet as possible. No doubt the mutant dog-things had heard it, and they were heading toward him now. Was she trying to get him killed? Because even if she wasn't, it certainly seemed so. Although he didn't get any better in his attempts to find the ladder, he moved faster in hopes of not getting devoured by the creatures of the town.
It took him a few moments to locate the ladder. When he did, he was close to smacking into it. Thank christ. He quickly climbed up. But when he was almost at the top, a strange substance was right under his hands. He had to move one of his hands close to his face in order to see what it was. Blood? Again? Needless to say, he only half wanted to find out what was at the top of the ladder. The woman could actually be a monster. That, or she could just be hurt. But he did reach the top after a few moments of thinking whether he should go back down or continue on. "Thanks, but would something less heavy woulda worked just as good." He pointed out, tugging the large ladder up to prevent any more intellegent monsters from reaching them. For the moment it would stop them, anyway. Rogue X Tatriana stood up as the stranger climbed up the ladder, "Sorry, I would've been more careful but... well, it hurt enough just trying to unlock the damn thing. Plus, most of these damn things are stupid, they wont know we're up here, they just know we're not down there."
She looked at him and his attire before smiling, it was nice seeing someone human, even if he did dress... differently, but she wasn't one to care about something that minor at this point. She headed into the apartment and motioned for him to follow her.
"I'm Tatriana, nice to meet you. I'd shake your hand but.... eh... I don't think you'd appreciate it that much." She grinned as she held out her now-bloody palms. "So," she started again, "What's your name?" A Spoonful of Agent Arsen finally managed to retract the ladder completely. With one glance below to make sure none of the monsters were there yet, his gaze moved to the woman. "Ah don't blame you. Everything in this town is a damn piece of rusted crap, really." As he pronounced 'really,' he made the word sound much longer than it should have. His hand moved a stray strand of hair behind his ears. It was a good that his dye job was holding up even under the conditions, but how long that would last he didn't know. It'd been a while since he'd taken a nice shower. Damn, he really wanted one now.
"Ah'm Arsen. Ah'd shake yours, but ah already have enough blood on my hands." He held his own hand out, showing the blood that had been transfered from the ladder to his palms. He was glad that it wasn't his, but how was he supposed to get rid of it now? "Ah can look around for something to bind your wounds, if you like." He put on his happy, I-actually-give-a-damn face. She had saved him, after all. And she'd apparently been around the area. Just being able to survive in Silent Hill made her worthy of some of his respect. Rogue X Tatriana shook her head "no, no, no, you don't have to do that. Let me find something for you to get the blood off, I'm sorry, I should've been more careful. I wouldn't trust the water coming out of the taps for anything, but I can probably find a cloth or something, no need to get blood on furniture or anything. No matter what state it was in first." She grinned as she walked into another room briefly.
Walking out, she had a slightly damp cloth in between two clean fingers, tossing it at him lightly, "Ta-da! Found a few buckets of clean water, so if you're dehydrated, go at it!"
She then paused as she looked around, "Maybe there's some antiseptic in here, sure hope so. I don't need my hands falling off, I need those." She muttered half to Arsen, and half to herself.
Walking in the direction of the bathroom, she glanced over her shoulder before disappearing into the room, quickly coming out with a roll of fresh bandages and antiseptic stuff "So how long have you been in this wonderful world of sunshine and happiness?" A Spoonful of Agent ((Just not quite as popular as MEEEEEE!~ 8D))
Arsen stowed his gun back in his sock, making sure that it wasn't cocked. Having a bullet in his foot (let alone having it there because he was being an idiot) would probably mean death when he had to run to escape one of the many demons around. He stepped into the room and away from the thick fog. It was worse than a ******** bayou out there. Which meant if there were any mosquito hawks out there, they would be twice his size. ...Great. "Ah think the last thing we shoul' worry about is the furniture." He wasn't particularly thirsty, but who knew when the next time he'd drink was. Once he'd managed to get rid of the blood that had stained his hands, he'd go for the water.
The other room was just as cheery as the balcony had been. Minus the fog, of course. In years before, it might actually have been somewhere that didn't look like it was completely out-of-date and rotting. But no one had even attempted to keep it looking good since the town had been abandoned. Still, it was better than running through the streets screaming because of the monsters.
"Ah'll help you with that." Arsen wasn't offering. He was telling her. But him, being truely nice? Creepy. "Ah'd have to say a couple o' weeks. But mah stupid watch broke the first day, so ah can't be sure." He shrugged. Rogue X ((PSSSCH, *ghetto snaps*)) Tatriana grinned "But wiping blood on furniture, no matter the state, is gross. You don't know exactly what you're touching, you'd probably get herpes or something."
Looking from the stuff in her hands, to Arsen, she shrugged and handed it over "... Thanks."
After that she began taking the bandages off her hands, unwrapping was a pain since it wasn't wrapped correctly to begin with. "Wow, you've been here almost as long as I have," She then grabbed the cloth Arsen discarded and began cleaning around the gashes on the palms of her hands, ignoring the intense stingings of pain. She was starting to mentally damn the window she had wrecked her hands on.A Spoonful of Agent ((Wicked > j00, man.))
Arsen laughed slightly at the thought of getting herpes from some kind of furniture in the town. For some reason, he wouldn't be surprised if someone did manage to contract some type of fatal illness. That is, if they didn't get brutally slaughtered by a monster first. "Ah'll make sure ah don't touch anything that might give me herpes, then." He went and took the bandages from her, having finished wiping off the blood that was on him. They weren't the best things to use, but one, he wasn't a doctor, so he didn't really know what was the best, and two, he didn't have access to it. It wasn't as though they could just go down to the local market and ask for some. Not without getting mauled, anyway.
Even though he wasn't a doctor, applying the antiseptic first would probably be the best thing to do. It wouldn't help much if the bandages went on before. "You and I the only non-monster things around here, or there other people?" He readied the antiseptic for when she was done cleaning her wounds. "Heare, give me your hands." Rogue X "Well... there's Atheial, I'm not sure where he went though. We both got seperated and booked it in different directions. But we thought we were the only people stuck here, until I heard you, of course. So maybe there's others? It's like a survival of the fittest though, I wonder how many people used to be here..."
Shaking her head slightly, she held out her hands and tilted her head ever-so-slightly, smiling. "Your accent is very becoming, where are you from?" A Spoonful of Agent "At least that's one person who was heare. From what ah know, about seven people disappeared recently." Of course, he knew why five of them were there. One sent right after another for the same reason, and as far as he knew, they'd all suffered the same miserable fate, as he would. And that pissed Arsen off almost enough to forget to delicately rip off the bandage instead of tearing the entire thing in half. He cursed under his breath when he realized what he was doing. The antiseptic went on first, after all. He didn't need to bandage yet. Finally getting to putting the antiseptic on, he answered, "Louisiana. What about you?" Rogue X Tatriana was hardly paying attention to what Arsen was doing with the bandages, she was thinking over what he had just said.
"Seven people? As in, seven people came here and disappeared?... I wonder why." She spoke slightly sarcastically. "But I don't remember coming here, well... not the here-here that we're in now. I came to a deserted town, there wasn't any fog or monsters."
"Louisiana, I've heard that place is beautiful, especially New Orleans, so filled with culture and... myself? I come from Haverhill* Massachusetts. Home of Rob Zombie and the Archie Comics... although, I've never paid any mind to either of them." She giggled.((pronounced "HAY-vruhl,"))

Page 2- A Spoonful of Agent Arsen applied the antiseptic, focusing more on bandaging the girl's hands than he was about the conversation. "Seven that ah know of, anyway. There could be more." He began wrapping her hands in the semi-ripped bandages. They weren't that bad. They were better than nothing at all. "Come to think of it, ah remember that when there was no fog, there was no monstas. But that didn't last too long." He had to laugh slightly at her perception of Louisiana as a whole. "You'll find that not all of Lousiana is a cultural as New Orleans. Maybe three people from mah town ever been to a Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Mahself included." Of course, they had their own Mardi Gras celebrations, but on a much smaller scale. Rogue X "Seven," She muttered under her breath, that was incredible.
"Yeah, that's really weird.. it just sort of... changed. Overnight, almost... and I remember a siren." Pausing, she shook her head, no need to talk about that now.
"Really? Well... then I'll be sure to go to New Orleans, specifically. It was already on my 'to do' list anyways.... really? How fun was it?" She grinned. She then pulled her freshly bandaged hands away and looked them over before looking up at Arsen and smiling sweetly as she moved her fingers slightly, curling them into a loose fist before moving them flat again, "thanks, you definitely did a better job than me." A Spoonful of Agent Arsen shook his head with a sigh. Seven was way too much. Now there were nine that he knew of that had disappeared. And seven of which were probably dead. Their odds weren't good. Thinking about it, he finally remembered that there had been a loud siren before the monsters had come. And what a siren it was -it was almost deafening.
"Make sure to watch your drinks. Ah've seen some girls get a pinch extra than they expected snuck into 'em." Of course, he hadn't been a part of it (not that he remembered, anyway), but he had seen it done before. "Though other than that, Ah had a lot of fun." He nodded before thinking back to the Mardi Gras celebration of a few years previous. "Don't worry about it. Just hope it lasts long enough for you to get out of this hellhole." Rogue X Smirking slightly, she looked up at him and shrugged "I have a high tolerance, for alcohol and little presents one might recieve, in said alcohol." Standing up straighter, she lifted her left hand and touched the tip of her index finger to the tip of his nose in a slight 'boop' motion.
"Thanks for the warning, but for me to get drugged, someone would have to want in my pants." Placing her hands on her hips, she looked down at herself before looking back up at Arsen and winking, "And I'm sure I'm safe in that department." Low self-esteem for the win.
"And as for the bandages," she grinned, "I'm sure they will, but hey, if not then I'll just bug you to do them again." She poked him lightly in the chest before spinning on her heel and heading into another room.
"I wonder if this place has a bed, I'd kill to have an actual nap in an actual bed." A Spoonful of Agent Before he had time to react properly to her comment, she booped him. It was then that he became utterly confused. Was there something on his nose? The reason for what she'd done was beyond his comprehension. After all, he was just a man. Regaining what little composure he had left, Arsen managed to actually speak back to her second comment. "You'd be surprised. Ah can bet you that it's happened ta girls ha'f as pretty as you." He nodded, though still confused.
"Oh, goodie. Ah can look forward to that, then." He grinned back, following her into the other room. It was then that he started actually looking around for a bed or a sofa. He'd definitely settle for a sofa. "One way to find out."
((AYA!TATRIANA CONFUSING PEOPLE FTW.)) Rogue X ((She's a mischevious little dork. Not a girly girl, she loves confusing people, but not by fluttering around LIKE AYAME, XD)) Tatriana glanced behind her shoulder at Arsen and raised an eyebrow, a grin on her face "half as pretty as me? They must be hideous. I'll just have to dress twice as much like my brother."
Turning around, she pulled her hair back and put the hoddie up and over her head, lowering the cap slightly, hiding her femininely eyes as she giggled slightly, posing like a 'gangster male'. "Think I can pull off a feminine boy? My brother could pull off a feminine girl if his hair grew out." Her giggling slowly turned to a frown as she turned around and continued to search the apartment.
Taibalt. Her brother. Her twin. She missed him.
"So, do you have any family?" She questioned, her tone light, unlike how she was feeling.A Spoonful of Agent Arsen winced in a fake fashion. It was funny for him to imagine a hideous girl getting drugged, for some reason -probably the town getting to him again. His humor was completely warped thanks to the many things he'd seen in the short time he'd been there. Laughing at the thought of Tatriana impersonating a boy, Arsen quickly rid himself of the mental image. "Ah'd really prefer you didn't try." He nodded before continuing on with the search for a place to sleep. Even if they did find somewhere, then one of them would probably have to stay awake. He knew it'd end up being him -but he didn't really mind that much.
"No one that Ah miss." He mumbled under his breath. Switching back to his kinder expression, he replied. "Just mah parents, actually. Ah'm an only child." His smile returned in a split second. Rogue X Tatriana glanced over her shoulder and grinned, "Fine, but only because you said it so nicely, I'll stay all 'femininely'."
"Oh, I'm sorry. That must not have been a good question to ask... an only child? That must have been fun! I have an older brother, we don't talk that much though, so I don't miss him that much. I kinda miss Taibalt though. We're twins." She smiled. She really did miss him, they were always in contact with each other, they were either always together, or calling each other. They were the first number for speed dail on their matching cell phones.
Turning another corner she beamed and burst forward towards a big king sized bed, she grabbed one of the pillows before laying down and hugged it, her hoody falling back to her shoulders as she looked up at Arsen.
"Come take a nap with me!" She spoke with enthusiasm as she relaxed in the bed. The pillow felt nice and fluffy against her hands as her head rested on another one. "I promise I wont sexually harass you in your sleep." She jested with a wink, "And all the doors are locked, so if anything's going to get in here, it'll have to be making some heavy duty breaking noises, so we'll have enough time to wake up and book it."
With all that said, she shut her eyes and hugged the pillow tighter, kicking her shoes off onto the floor. "Nice comfy bed of comfyness." She muttered under her breath with a smile on her face. A Spoonful of Agent Arsen sighed only partially out of relief. He was glad to know that Tatriana wouldn't look like a dyke anytime soon, but he also tried to rid himself of the sleepiness that he'd ignored for the past few days. Any form of caffeine would have probably been able to pep him up, but it wasn't as though he had immediate access to it anymore."Ah don't really mind you asking." He shrugged slightly before continuing. "'Fun' wouldn't be the best word for it, but Ah have to say, it has been interesting." He grinned, saying nothing more on the subject past what he'd just spoken.
"A nap?" What an eccentric thought, especially consideringw where they were at that exact moment. Thoughts poured into his mind about how it would be a horrible idea to do such a thing with her -but they all floated out of his mind the second they came in. His tired state kept him from thinking clearly or even wanting to think at all. It only took a split second for him to flop onto the bed once he made it there. A short, muffled word left his mouth, though it was impossible to understand what he had said when he was face-first in the mattress. It was only when he took his face out of the bed to breathe that he could speak normally again. "Hun, trust me. The last thang Ah'm worried about in this town is sexual harassment. It's also the one thang I expect." He flopped back down onto the bed and shut his eyes. Even if sleep didn't come, something soft felt really wonderful.
((WE NEED BLACKUP MONSTERS. XD)) Rogue X Looking up at Arsen from her comfy spot, she grinned as he stood there. Was he going to be like a gentlemen and not sleep in the same bed or something? This wasn't exactly the place where you could be picky about things.
Hugging her pillow tight, she curled her legs slightly. It was cold, well it was generally cold in Silent Hill everywhere, but trying to sleep was not fun in cold, and there was no way she was gong to get under those dirty, dank covers. Rolling her eyes, they simply shut again, she was going to take her own thoughts into consideration, it was no time to be picky.
"It's also the one th-" Tatriana was out like a light.
As the minutes flew by, the pillow slowly slipped from her loose grip to the bed, rolling to the floor with a light 'plop'. Getting more comfortable in her sleep, Tatriana rolled over onto her other side and sighed softly. From her position now, she could feel the warmth radiating from Arsen. Subconsciously she moved a bit closer and her arm snaked it's way around his waist. Arsen was warm, she smiled somewhat in her sleep.
It could almost be considered cuddling if she was just a bit closer... and if she wasn't asleep. A Spoonful of Agent Arsen stretched out on the bed, not bothering to go underneath the covers. He was already warm enough -why add even more heat? Turning his head just slightly to look at Tatriana again, he laughed quietly. "Heh, maybe Ah should stay up. Just in case, Ah mean." There was a silence from her. It looked like she'd fallen asleep. "It probably would be a... Good... Ide..." He didn't fight off the sleep any longer, even though he had been planning to stay up just in case something happened. His own eyes shut while he temporarily relaxed and rested.
Other than the occasional adjustment, Arsen didn't stir from his sleeping position. The way he'd fallen onto the bed wasn't incredibly comfortable, but he was so tired that it didn't matter to him in the slightest. It was when Tatriana's arm wrapped around him that he awoke. "Mmph..." Still half-asleep, he didn't realize exactly what was going on. His arm moved so that it draped over her. The limb itself was all but dead weight (that didn't weigh much). Still not sentient enough to understand what was going on, Arsen dismissed it with an 'Ah don't care' in his mind before relaxing again. It seemed like even in a hellhole there was some comfort to be found.
Even if they were out cold. Rogue X Evenin her sleep she could be swayed slightly, with Arsen's arm came more comfortable motions. Moving even more closer to Arsen, she rested her head on his chest lightly, her arm curving around him a bit tighter, but not enough to stir him awake again.
Outside the apartment, a tall lanky monster covered in blood making a gasping sound stopped in front of their door and smelled it, noticing Tatriana's scent coming in there earlier. Examining the door more it simply ignored it, her scent was hardly there considering how fast she had run to get there. It continued down the hall without disturbing them in the slightest. A Spoonful of Agent Arsen merely adjusted his arm a little more while Tatriana moved closer to him. He was too far into slumber to move any more than that to get more comfortable. Although he'd planned to actually stay on his guard to stop any more monsters from attacking, Arsen had been unsuccessful at even keeping himself awake once he'd felt the comfort of the bed. Not that he really minded at that moment.
Finally, he stirred from his sleep. It wasn't a very nice awakening, but at least he was mildly awake. There was a slight jolt that went through him when he realized that something had a hold on him. His eyes peeked open. It wasn't something that would likely kill him. Not anytime soon, anyway. He found that Tatriana and he had somehow come together in their sleep. Having a horrible memory when it came to things when he was half sleeping, Arsen couldn't remember moving his arm. At least he was in a comfortable position now. Rogue X The jolt that Arsen felt when he tried to move didn't go unnoticed to the sleeping Tatriana. Her eyes fluttered open slowly and she paused, keeping her breathing the same as to not draw any attention to the fact that she was awake yet.
Scanning the room, and finally noticing their position, her cheeks tinted red as she quickly sat up and moved back slightly from Arsen, "Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" A hand flew up to cover her mouth as she averted her eyes. "And after I promised I wouldn't 'sexually harass' you too." She chuckled slightly, although thoroughly embarassed. She couldn't believe how close she had gotten to him, in a bed no less.
... Was it wrong that that was an amazing sleep? A Spoonful of Agent Arsen began rubbing his eye with the back of his hand. "Ah'm pretty sure what you do in your sleep doesn't count." A slight yawn escaped him as he attempted to free himself from the final lasting moments of his sleepiness. "And after all, it was an accident, right?" He couldn't quite place the reason why, but his subconscious mind laughed. And when it did laugh, it laughed very, very loudly. But even with that, Arsen could barely hear anything. Instead of paying attention to that, he kept himself concentrated on Tatriana's reply.

page 3- Rogue X Tatriana's blush diminished slowly as she dropped her hand "Well that's good." A grin forming on her lips as he yawned, his usual look was ruined when he was sleepy.
"An accident?" She paused before winking at him "Sure, let's call it that." She then got off the bed and walked out of the room, her arms above her head in a stretch.
As she walked out, she pulled her hoody over her head, leaving her clad in a simple white tanktop as she headed for what she assumed was the kitchen. Sleeping so close to Arsen had made her all warm, she didn't even need to wear the hoody right now, though she would probably put it back on soon since she was now wearing a simple shirt underneath.
The kitchen seemed to be very basic, a fridge that's been off for what seemed like over ten years from the smell, a few cupboards and even a table with a few chairs around it.
Opening the first cupboard she came across she saw a boring can of beans and package of crackers. "Somehow, that's what I guessed would be in here." She spoke quietly to herself with a soft smile on her face. Now that she had gotten a good amount of sleep, she was feeling energized and happy. A Spoonful of Agent Arsen finished his yawn slowly. When he looked back to Tatriana, she was smiling for some reason. "What are you smiling about?" He looked down at his nose to see if there was anything on it. "Do Ah have something on mah face?" Other than blood? He could find nothing, but Arsen had no mirror that he could use to look at himself with. After missing multiple showers, he wasn't exactly sure that he wanted to see himself. "Was Ah wrong? Did you do it on purpose?" He said playfully, following her out of the room. It seemed quiet enough where they were for the moment.
Whatever happened while he was sleeping made him much less cold then he had been when he had gone to bed. Even with all the running he'd been doing, he'd been unnaturally cold. Possibly another weird side effect of the town. "Anythang that looks relatively edible?" He peeked over her shoulder to look into the cupboard. "Ah'm almost positive that those should have been thrown out years ago." He stuck his tongue out at them in digust, showing off his piercing at the same time. "That our only option?" It probably was, but he wanted to try to figure out what the other possibilities were. Hopefully not involving food poison or starvation. Rogue X "On purpose, well no. But when you're sleeping, your subconcious takes over. Thinking about how we woke up, it must mean that my subconscious likes your subconscious." She jested as she opened another cupboard to find nothing.
Placing her hands on her hips, she made a quiet noise in the back of her throat, clearly upset with their lack of discovery. "Nothing yet, but there are more cupboards." Turning to Arsen, she opened her mouth to speak when he stuck out his tongue.
"You have a-" She chuckled and shook her head before continuing on to the next cupboard and opening it. A simple bag of peanuts lay right int he middle. Unopened, un-buggified, undamaged...
After grabbing the bag, she turned to lean against the counter that was now behind her. "Are you allergic to peanuts?" She asked, a small grin on her face.((Let's just pretend that peanuts last forever. xd )) A Spoonful of Agent "So, semi-purposely." Their subsconscious minds were still a part of them, technically. "Don't worry, Ah get it." He grinned to her in an attempt to say he had been kidding. Arsen peered into a few of the cupboards only to find nothing relatively good -and he wasn't being picky in the least. "Goodie. We can dismantle and devour them. Full of fiber and god knows what else." His sarcastic tone covered all of the words that he'd spoken. He could barely find a container for all of the joy that he acquired from thinking about eating a cupboard.
"Oh. You mean this?" Arsen stuck out his tongue again, pointing with his index finger at the small pink barbell popping out of the top of his tongue. After bringing his tongue back in, he spoke again. "Ah got it a couple'a years back." Right around the time when he'd joined the Mafia, coincedentally. "Ah usually don't like taking it out unless I have to." It was mere luck that he had kept his piercing in when he'd gone to Silent Hill -he could very well have just taken it out to make his appearance more amiable. "If Ah was, Ah'd probably eat them anyway." He nodded, returning her grin with a smirk of his own. Rogue X "Hm... yeah, that sounds about right." She said with a grin and a nod before tilting her head slightly, "of all the things I want in this place, fibre's not high on my list."
"That's awesome!" She spoke enthusiastically before pausing, "You boys and your weird piercings," a smile graced her lips as she shook her head, "Well, that's understandable. I hate taking mine out, but that's different, mine are just in my ears."
Looking at her bandaged hands, she handed the bag of peanuts before pulling them back slightly "So you're not allergic, right? 'Cause if you are, you get the crackers." She handed them to him again after winking. A Spoonful of Agent Arsen looked with disgust at the last few cupboards. Couldn't they have had anything, anything at all, that wasn't likely to have some sort of disease? Of course not. "Ah'm sure that one day, you'll regret not eating enough stupid cupboard." He rolled his eyes at the storage areas with a frown.
"Usually people think Ah'm weird for it." He shrugged, slightly contented by the fact that someone actually believed that his tongue piercing was awesome. "Mine are a lot more difficult to take out." Arsen pushed the strands of hair covering his ears out of the way, revealing the multiple piercings that he had in each one. At least the lowest down that his piercings went was his tongue. "******** no, Ah don't want the crackers." Although that wasn't exactly answering her question, Arsen wanted to make it clear that he wanted nothing to do with the most likely soggy crackers that she had found. Usually, he wouldn't trust peanuts if his life depended on it, but in this case, he could survive. Disgusting food was better than no food at all. Rogue X Tatriana glanced over at Arsen before putting the peanuts on the counter, she spun around to face the counter and pressed her palms flat against it before lifting herself off the floor and towards the cabinets.
Sticking her tongue out, she leaned towards the wood before pausing. "On second thought, I think I'll leave the fiber for you."
Turning again to lean against the counter she paused "Well... I have a friend who's got cuff earrings on the tops of his ears, I'm pretty sure that's 'weirder' than a tongue ring. Plus, apparently kissing is more fun with one of those anyways."
Blinking she took a closer look at his piercings before grinning, "I like mine, they were fun to get." Turning her head she showed him the hoops in her ears along with her industrial.
She grabbed and opened the peanut bag before grabbing one and tossing it from one hand to the other. "So, is it more fun kissing with a barbell in your mouth?" She asked with a sly grin. A Spoonful of Agent Arsen couldn't help but laugh at Tatriana's odd behavior. He himself went over to the cupboard. Instead of pausing as Tatriana had, the man stuck his pierced tongue out and actually licked the wood slightly. ...There had to be something in the air that was messing with their minds. "Thanks. Ah'm very grateful." He smiled playfully, retracting his tongue.
"Trust me, it does make things a little more interesting." He turned to her, nodding with the same smile he'd had on just moments before."Most of mine came at separate times. But some Ah got in pairs." Seeming actually interested in what her own piercings looked like, Arsen got a good look at them when she showed him. Right after she looked at his own. "But you may just want to find out for yourself if it is." A sly grin formed on his lips. It was relatively obvious what he was implying, but whether he was serious or not was another question entirely. Rogue X Tatriana felt a shiver run down her spine, at his laugh and at his action, she couldn't believe that Arsen had actually done that! Chuckling softly, she rolled her eyes before placing the peanut back onto the counter, a smile on her face, "I'm sure you are."
Her palms now on the edge of the counter, she pulled herself up to sit on it, ignoring the pain flaring in her fingers and up her arms. A grin appeared on her lips that matched Arsen's own.
"Are you teasing me Arsen?" She asked as she leaned forward slightly, her face hardly an inch away from his as she licked her lips, speaking quieter than she did before, but with all the same energy, "Y'know, I don't respond well to teasing."
Oh yeah, there was definitely something in the air.((ZOMG ALMOST NOSEBLEEDZ MOMENT.)) A Spoonful of Agent Arsen ignored the idea of just licking what was possibly the most digusting surface on the planet. At least it wasn't blood-soaked. He didn't move forward any, though he kept the space between them incredibly small. She was incredibly close to his face -and if he was being mean and teasing her, then she was being just as bad, if not worse. "That depends." There was a short pause. During that time, the smirk on his face grew slightly. His eyes narrowed, matching the amount of change that had come to his smile.
"Is it working?" Rogue X "Is it working?" Tatriana lifted a hand and with the tips of her fingers she traced his jawline lightly, ending up with the tip of her index finger just under his chin. "That depends on what exactly you want to accomplish then, doesn't it?"
A pause.
"What would you do if it worked?" She asked, a grin matching Arsen's own on her face.
This probably wasn't the smartest idea in the world, developing a crush on a random guy while you're trying to stay alive in a strange world.... but it couldn't hurt, could it?
Besides, Arsen wasn't really a 'random guy'... anymore. A Spoonful of Agent Arsen kept still as her fingers moved across the bottom of his face. It was once they'd ended their short movement that he spoke again. His smirk rested contently on his face as it moved in the slightest way, coming just that much closer to Tatriana's face. "Anythang and everythang." It was a horrible idea to actually get close to someone, especially considering both situations that he was currently trapped in. Whether or not he made it out of Silent Hill, he was probably going to die. Monsters here, monsters back home.
But at that moment, it didn't matter. Rogue X Tatriana's eyes sparkled, this was an interesting moment she would never expect in Silent Hill. It could prove to make this whole experience a whole lot more interesting and fun, but she didn't want to rush anything because of the circumstances.
"That's good to know, I'll be sure to keep that in mind." She said as she slid down from the counter in front of Arsen and winking at him. She headed out to where her hoody was and grabbed it before walking to the front door, "Grab the peanuts, I want to see what else is in this place."
Well, that could've been a much more fun moment. A Spoonful of Agent Arsen kept his smile up, though it became smaller and less smug as she spoke. "And Ah'll keep it in mine." He tapped his head lightly with his index finger. Apparently, she wasn't ready for whatever had been about to happen. That, or she didn't believe he was. His hand snatched the small bag of peanuts. "Ah guess we'll find out, then." Arsen began walking toward the door, following Tatriana as she began leaving the room.
((LAMESHORTREPLYISORRY. Rogue X Pulling on her hoody, she looked down at herself, she looked a great deal different than when she first came into Silent Hill, despite the small changes in her wardrobe. Her sleeves were gone, it was like a hoody t-shirt, and then there was her golves that were torn up, and then there were the bandages interlaced with the fabric.
Peaking out the peep hole in the door, she didn't see or hear anything, definitely a good sign. Opening the door slowly, she took a step into the hall and peaked around. Leaning against the doorframe, she looked up at Arsen who was standing almost next to her and she slumped down a bit more against the wood, still looking up at him.
The next thing she knew, she knocked the bag of peanuts onto the floor and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, pulling him down as she stood up straight to meet him. She stood nose to nose with him for all of three seconds, just enough time to speak, "I don't respond well to teasing." She spoke quietly as one of her hands snaked around his neck, the other running through his hair before she crushed her lips against his. Her eyes fluttered closed before her kiss grew softer and then after a few seconds, she ended pulling away slightly and licking at his lips teasingly before taking a step back and licking her own lips once.
A light red tint spread across her cheeks as she ducked her head to avert her gaze. "Sorry." She wasn't sure if he was just teasing earlier, but it was obvious what her intentions to the earlier games were. She nudged the bag of peanuts with the tip of her shoe.

Page 4- A Spoonful of Agent His reflection only managed to grab his attention for a moment. Arsen was worried slightly by the fact that he had no access to an fully-stocked, real bathroom. But only slightly. His shirt was relatively intact, considering how long he'd gone without changing it. At least the design of his shirt was still readable. How useful it was in Silent Hill, he didn't know.
Again, Arsen peeked over Tatriana's shoulder in an attempt to see what she was looking at. The peep hole was much too small for him to actually see around her, though. When she turned back around, he looked down at her with the same smile that he'd had before.
His head turned in the direction of the falling peanuts before it was jerked back toward Tatriana. "A-" He attempted to reply to her, but didn't have the chance to before their lips locked. There was no resistance from him -actually, his arms went arond her waist and grasped each other lightly, placing her in a small, slight hug. His eyes shut as hers did. Once she let go of the kiss, Arsen tried to speak again. Of course, that was before she licked his lips. Greatly contented by the kiss, he was slightly disappointed to see that she was apologizing for it. "There's nothang to be sorry about, hun." Rogue X Tatriana looked up at Arsen from underneath her bangs and lashes, "Oh don't say that, I practically attacked you. I don't even know if you meant what you said earlier... and the poor peanuts." She giggled softly as she glanced down at the peanuts before picking them up.
"Such rough manhandling, totally unnecessary." She smiled as she brushed off imaginary dust from the package.
Of course, even though she had knocked the peanuts, and grabbed Arsen, he had only held her gently in a hug. She had liked it, a lot.
And then there was that word, hun. That set off a small blush again. She hadn't grown up in a world of cute pet names and the like, so even if it was commonly said with him, it was definitely new to her.
"Are you sure?" She asked, somewhat shyly, not used to this new attitude of hers. A Spoonful of Agent "They can take it." He joked, refering to the peanuts that she was picking up. It wasn't as though they could actually feel the fall. They would be just as good after hitting the ground -after all, he trusted the cupboards of Silent Hill as much as he trusted its floors. From what he knew, it was likely that his thoughts were completely correct. Moving a little closer to the door and Tatriana, Arsen made his smile grow even larger. "Ah'm positive. But if you really think its worthy of an apology..." After speaking, he leaned forward. In a split-second motion, the man stole a short kiss from her. "Now we're even." He winked to her wit that same smile. Rogue X In response to Arsens words, she simply stuck out her tongue before shoving the peanuts into the pocket of her hoody.
The blush was still present on her cheeks as he kissed and winked at her, but a small smirk appeared on her face as she placed her hands on her hips.
"Now, I hardly think we're even, I'm pretty sure that my kiss was longer."
With that said, she spun on her heel and walked out the door and heading a few feet down the hall. A Spoonful of Agent Arsen stuck out his tongue once more in response to Tatriana's own actions. "Then, if you'd like, Ah can pay you back a little at a time later on." His arms moved up in a shrugging motion. It wasn't as though he would mind doing what he had suggested. But for that to happen, they would both have to survive in the evil-filled town. He thought about that. Living should probably be their first priority. Though he wasn't sure if it was at that moment. Following Tatriana out, he took a few steps farther away from the comfortable bed. Rogue X Glancing over her shoulder at Arsen, she smirked. "If and when we get out of here, Maverick's gonna be mad and go 'Hulk smash' at you... well, he's going to try. You might wanna pay me back before we get out of this hellhole."
Her words grew softer and quieter as her hand grasped the doorhandle, listening for any sounds inside. Once she was satisfied with the silence she opened the door before her hands flew to her face to cover up what was to be laughter.
In the room, was a bed of nails, a normal couch, and a few tables. On those tables were whips, handcuffs, bottles of water, and a single bottle of empty chocolate syrup.
She took a few steps back and hit the wall behind her before bursting into laughter, "Oh my god, that's the best room I've ever seen in my life! I expected there to be dead things in there, not sexual things!"
"Jesus," She shook her head as she bit her lip to stop lthe little bit of laughter that was left. A Spoonful of Agent "Maverick?" He questioned, thinking that he had heard that name somewhere before. Of course, it was an actual word, so he had heard it once or twice in school. When he was half paying attention. But the word used as a name was definitely familiar to him. His mind contorted itself in an attempt to remember. Still, nothing came to him. She could probably provide him with some clues, though.
Arsen leaned against the doorway, half thinking that he was imagining thinking. For a few moments, he was able to take the hilarity of the situation, but once Tatriana began her laughter, he couldn't help but join in. Stupid laughter was always ruining his relatively collected composure. "My entire perception of this town has just been completely warped." Rogue X "My perception of this town was warped a long time ago," Leaning against the wall, she rested her head against the wall behind her before reaching into the back pocket of her cargo pants and pulled out her useless wallet. She flipped through a few pictures before pulling one out and passing it to him. Her laughter finally diminishing.
It was of Maverick, he had his arms around her waist trying to kiss her, but Tatriana had turned her head and was moving to elbow him in the stomach. She remembered that day well, they ended up fighting and she had almost won. She was always grumpy but he was professionally trained, so of course she always lost.
"Yup, it's a weird name, but well, it's his last name. He wont tell anyone his first, he hates it so much."
She tilted her head slightly, "you don't... know him, do you?" She wasn't sure, she doubted it strongly... but Maverick did have his business connections, not that Arsen was in the mafia. That was a laugh! A Spoonful of Agent "Ah'd be overjoyed to see who owned this room." His voice dripped with sarcasm as he took another lookinto the room between the time that he spoke and the time that she passed him the photograph. He glanced only slightly at the image before seeing who it was. "You mean Beatrice? Ah only met him once, but yeah, Ah do know him. We worked together..." He couldn't just say that they'd worked together on a 'job' or a 'hit.' "...once, when he came to my area." He recovered. His sentence only paused for at most two seconds. "It was a while ago, if Ah'm thinking of the right guy." Rogue X "Somehow, I doubt these people had a different kind of fun than they imagined."
Up until that point, Tatriana was leaning against the wall very casually, and very stable. Biting her lip, she closed her eyes before trying not to laugh. "Beatrice? Oh yeah, it's definitely him, he-"
Suddenly she groaned and slid to the floor "Arseeeeeen, you're in the mafia?" She looked up at him and grinned, "Why do I keep meeting you guys? I thought you were all supposed to be 'invisable to the human eye', or something like that."
A thought sturck her and her grin slowly changed into a smirk, her eyes looking him up and down once before travelling back up to his face. "So Arsen... do you keep your gun in your pants too?" A Spoonful of Agent Arsen was about to reply to her comment about Maverick before she started groaning. "Just because Ah worked with him doesn't mean that Ah'm in the mafia!" He shook his finger at her in a disappointed manner. "But yes, Ah am." His hands meshed behind his head as they held it up slightly. "Invisible until we get caught in some damn town from hell." He grinned back at her. Upon her next comment, though, he raised an eyebrow before answering. "Yes, of course! But Ah can never seem to keep it there for very long." He jested to her, a smirk coming across his face as well. Rogue X "Yeah, but I know what 'working' means for him," Tatriana stood up and placed her hands on her hips, her mouth open for all of two seconds, "Did you just wiggle your finger at me? I feel like I should be insulted!"
"But, this damn town from hell is so interesting, come on... lookit this room for instance... I'm pretty sure we'll remember that view for the rest of our lives."
As she spoke, she took a step towards Arsen. Placing her hands lightly at his waist, she ended up brushing herself up against him slightly as she looked up at him, "You can't say stuff like that around me, it'll taint my innocence!... And Maverick will get mad at you." She was being horrible, but she couldn't help it, it was just so fun to mess around with Arsen. ((OMG LAWL, she's totally kidding, FYI XDD)) A Spoonful of Agent "Leave it to Beatrice not to to anythang else in his spare time." Arsen shook his head, slightly disappointed by the other man. He himself did not have a second job, but that was totally beside the point. "The real question is: Are you?" He asked, joking much more than he should have about the subject. "However long that may be." He poked fun at their situation -which was completely unneeded, but that didn't mean it wasn't fun. He leaned toward Tatriana slightly to speak to her again. "Now, hun, your innocence was tainted a while ago." He pointed out. "Oh dear! Can't have that now, can we?" He teased lightly, allowing a small laugh to escape. Rogue X Tatriana smirked, "Actually... he works at a chinese food restaurant, and despises every minute of it."
Shrugging slightly at his question, she shook her head "not really. It's not a big deal, I've had worse things done to me than a finger being wagged."
She didn't comment on his other words though, some things just didn't need to be said. She was already ready to go home, so hearing something like that definitely wasn't going to help her.
They were already standing pretty close before Arsen leaned towards her, her cheeks flushed red as she moved back slightly. "And how exactly would you know that? Hm?" In all actually, him saying that brought her back to a painful memory, one she'd rather not remember again while in Silent Hill. Once was enough for her.
"Oh come on, Maverick's insanely protective of me. I mean, if he heard about us in the same bed, then kissing... he'd probably go balistic." She was joking, but of course she could never forget that Maverick was very close to her, and vice versa.
"Every day I've been here, he's probably been looking for me," That's what happened last time after all, "as well as Taibalt... man, I hope they never get here." She didn't want them all to be stuck here, especially if there was no way out. A Spoonful of Agent Arsen shook his head lightly, managing to resist the strong urge to laugh at Maverick's choice of a second job. He did not have a job besides the one that had been provided for him by the mafia -in fact, he had not had a second job since high school. "Ah'm just surprised that no one's had to go to the hospital because of that." He shrugged, truthfully wondering how the man he knew had managed to keep a job that he loathed. "Your subconscious seems to know what it's doing." Not that anything had actually been done while they were in their mostly-unconscious states. "Ah'll make sure to watch out for him when we leave here, then." He spoke playfully and in a lighter manner than he had before. "Ah wouldn't wish this town on anyone." Even his superficial 'family.'

page 5- Rogue X Tatriana grinned "Well, he has poisoned a few people... of course, it was through raw fish, but I still think he had something to do with it. Something to give him a laugh while he had such a job."
"Yeah, but my subconscious acts on impulse, not always a good thing." She joked.
"I don't know if you could handle him, he killed the last two guys that touched me, aside from my brother of course." With a wink, she spun on her heel and dropped the smile from her face, it was true after all. She just made it seem like a more enjoyable experience than it really was.
"I don't know, I can think of one or two people who I'd like to stick in his place." She muttered as she headed to another door, sighing slightly as she opened it, seeing a basic apartment setting. A Spoonful of Agent ((ISSO SLOW SORREE. D:>))
Arsen made a gagging motion, completely with sound effects. "Ah definitely won't be going to your Chinese restaurant annytime soon." He shivered slightly at the thought of getting food poisoning. Seeing people die everyday didn't seem to affect his sense of digust at raw fish. It didn't belong anywhere other than sushi, and even then, it had to be prepared right. "Oh, Ah disagree. Acting on impulse can be that very best thing. Thought process just slows you down." It wasn't the best advice for the real world. But it was advice, regardless. "Ah'll definitely remember that for when he tries to kill me." They hadn't seen each other since that job a long while before, but he could still remember that day as if it'd been only moments before. "Really? Ah'm surprised." He most likely had no people he'd wish to switch places with because almost all of them were dead. "Nice girl like you, wishing that on someone?" He whistled in amazement. Rogue X "I only go there to visit Maverick, I've never eaten there, he'd probably poison me if I did." She grinned.
"Never thinking? Always making impulse decisions? Typical male response, and to think I actually expected more from you, Arsen. So what kind of impulse decisions do you like to make?" She teased as she glanced back at him and winked before turning back around to enter the apartment.
Hearing him whistle, she felt cold all over. Her arms wrapped loosely around herself, she kept walking. "Nice has nothing to do with it," She said as she turned around a corner, her words still spoken soft yet had a twinge of something not quite right "They... they hurt me, and I'd give anything for them to be here, terrified and tortured... I hate them with every fabric of my being."
As she spoke, she lifted her arm to fix a tilted photo frame on a wall. "Even though Maverick 'took care' of them, they still haunt my nightmares... is that weird? in a bad situation, or is it normal and I'm just not over it yet?" She partly asked Arsen, partly talking to herself as well as she glanced in Arsen's direction.

"You'd be less likely to die from it, though." He pointed out, grinning to match hers. "Hey, Ah can't be perfect. If Ah was, then I probably wouldn't have ended up where Ah am now." He wasn't just refering to the fact that he was in Silent Hill, but the fact that he was trapped in a job where his boss would likely kill him the moment he messed up. "Ah think about things when Ah need to, in mah defense." Agreeing to come to the West Virginia town had been an impluse. But that had been an impluse to not die. No thought involved there. Following her quickly around the corner, Arsen put together a few pieces in his mind. "Hun, Ah'm just taking a shot in the dark here, but... Did they hurt you in that way?" All that he was likely doing was stirring up bad memories, but Arsen wanted confirmation. "If it was, Ah'm sorry to say that it never really goes back to normal afterwards." While ditching class a few times, he'd heard some kids talk about girls in his school who'd gone through the torture of it.

"Yeah, he wouldn't go as far to kill me, I'm too important for that." She smiled.
"Yeah yeah, you wouldn't be in your line of work if you didn't, I'm just messing with you Arsen. It's oh so fun."
"You bet they did. I got kidnapped, beaten, raped, questioned then beaten some more because I didn't feel like answering their questions..." A grin graced her lips in this odd situation.
"You'd think that because I was a young girl they would've been nicer to me." A chuckle escaped her lips, "You'd think that the mafia had more class than that."
And with that said, she walked into the kitchen to investigate the cupboards and containers.

"On the other hand, Ah'm probably expendable to him." He shook his head. "Mah sensitive heart has been broken in two!" Arsen swooned dramatically, placing his hand on his chest as if attempting to cover his heart. It was completely obvious by his tone that he was being sarcastic. "Ah'm glad Beatrice got rid of them, then." For some reason, his intuition was yelling at him. Incredibly loudly. There was no way that it couldn't be painful to talk about such a subject. "Ah'm glad Ah had nothing to do with it." A split-second thought ran through his head before fading once more. He'd never thought about Jack getting hurt or even killed because of Arsen's active involvement in mafia activities.

"More than likely, I bet even if I said you were a friend of mine, he'd try to kill you for that reason alone itself." Chuckling softly as she walked into the kitchen.
His next words ruined her whole demeanor, the empty cupboard she was looking through ended up getting slammed shut. She took a step back and leaned against the wall, looking down at her feet at her face lost any happy tone it was falsely holding before.
Arsen could've been part of the whole thing, and she had acted all kissy-face with him, he could even be lying about it now. Running a hand through her bangs she chuckled softly, he still could've been part of something horrible, she had no idea!
She still couldn't even accept that what had happened to her, had actually happened. She talked about it and thought about it like it was just a movie or something. Wrapping her arms around herself, she bit her lip softly as her bangs fell in front of her face.
The last thing she needed to do was to go through this realization now.

"Ah can see him being extremely protective." Arsen was able to think about it for only a moment before the slamming door of the cupboard was slammed. It didn't seem as though she was looking at him at that moment. His smile faded into a discontent frown. s**t. Did Ah say something? Unlike Tatriana, he bit his lip hard, almost to the point of drawing blood. Quickly adjusting his expression in order to look more concerned than angry at himself, Arsen walked toward her. He placed his hand under her chin and moved it upward to get her to look at him. "You're really not all right with it, are you?" His face showed what seemed to be genuine concern for her.

As Arsen walked towards her, she was very content with just looking at his feet, but he didn't seem to like that idea as much as she did.
"All right with it? All right with what?" She tried to smile and act cheerful, but she instantly felt like she was cheating as she saw Arsens' face. He looked like he actually cared. That was definitely something she hadn't seen in a long time.
Her smile soon faded as she averted her eyes, what could she say? 'No, I'm not all right?' and be a big baby about it? ... That worked.
Brushing past his hand she buried her face in his chest, wrapping her arms around him in a somewhat-tight hug. She simply closed her eyes and shook her head.

Arsen continued looking at her with his serious, concerned expression. "You know what Ah mean." He didn't normally give a crap when it came to other people's problems, but strangely enough, he decided to change his way of thinking, considering the situation. His arms embraced her in a relatively-tight response hug. He stayed there for a while, just hugging her. They had a lot of extra time to use however they wanted.

After a few minutes of silent hugging, shifted slightly, her head turned to the side resting against Arsen.
"I really haven't accepted it yet, y'know? Like... I've thought about it, of course, but... I don't really treat it like it actually happened to me. It's more like a movie playing in my head that I can't turn off when I go to sleep."
Pulling back slightly, she still held onto Arsen slightly and wasn't far enough back to pull out of his grip. Looking up at him, she smiled softly. "I didn't dream about it when I slept with you though, maybe I should keep you around when this is all over."

Arsen nodded, even though she probably couldn't see or feel it. "Ah can't say that Ah know what it's like, but there are some bad events that replay in mah mind when Ah can't block them out." He didn't normally let such facts about him out into the open, but it couldn't hurt that much. His hands kept themselves together, but his hug was loose. "Ah must be a human dreamcatcher, then." He shrugged slightly, still keeping his hands together.
