When the night is come [Open]

Who: Izunia and you! And possibly also Ardyn aor Verity, depending on prompt.
When: Late July, various.
Where: See prompts!
What: Catchall, featuring tattoos, escape artist cats, and uh. Everything else.
Warnings: This Post Contains Airlocked, so standard murdergame warnings apply.

Lounge (outside greenhouse and hottub), any afternoon from 7/20-8/8 featuring [personal profile] burninglight

[A miracle is taking place behind the set-up paper screens that have suddenly appeared in the glass-walled lounge.

That miracle is "the Lucis Caelum twins, largely getting along."

There's also a tattoo gun involved.

Anyone who peeks around the screens Izunia set up for privacy at some point will find the younger twin stretched out on a tattoo chair, while Ardyn works on his arms or back. There's a light grey outline of the parts of the tattoo that haven't yet been finished - a greatsword that might look familiar down the left arm, a weird mechanical looking sword on the right, and six loops of chain hung between them, the lowest reaching almost all the way down Izunia's back to the waist. A handful of weapons hang in the loops, and there's a few notable gaps... Discounting the gaps of the broken links, there's precisely a hundred and fifteen links in all.

While Ardyn works, Izunia seems, mostly, to zone out, either with music playing for the both of them or something on a tablet in front of him, headphones in. For a guy getting stabbed repeatedly, he largely seems pretty relaxed, fiddling with his set of floating crystals idly.

Occasionally, however, one might happen by and hear the twins bickering, as they do...]


Rise, anywhere

[What's this?

Well, long-term residents of the Station will probably recognize the giant, fluffy silver tabby who butts against their ankles. Verity's on the prowl, looking for attention and/or snacks.

But... Where's Izunia? He doesn't normally let her out like this...

And that's assuming that she hasn't just suddenly appeared in your room. You closed that door for sure, right?]


July 30th, late evening, closed to Junpei

[Investigation episodes are always rough. And Ardyn did warn him that this one, in particular, had the black blood that comes with the Scourge.

Izunia's prepared for that.

He's not prepared to see Junpei, apparently dead, lying in a pool of it, and in the safety of his room, he very nearly throws the tablet across the room.

Actually, he does throw it - just into the Armiger in a moment of not completely losing his head, rather than letting it impact anything.

Time to hyperventilate.]


Anything else

[Nap grandpa is somewhat more absent for the next two weeks than usual, even given that he's spending half or more his afternoons spread out getting inked. If you're in his most prominent haunts, however - Fight Club, the kitchen on the doubles floor of the Rise, or the observation deck at dawn or dusk (especially dawn, lately, oddly enough for a Lucis Caelum) - he's hard to miss.

Also, if you're one of the handful of people he keeps a special eye out for - chiefly Prompto, Maddie, and Elize - you might find him turning up at your door after a tattooing session with a hot meal or two.]

N-no. I didn't..I wasn't trying to leave you out or anything like that, I just-...telling the others got a bit hectic and I just...

[...]

...I...gave my brother a copy of Airlocked I found in the last Fissure. Password protected and swore him to secrecy over it. I know I should have told you and the others first, I...I just acted recklessly. I'm sorry.

[Junpei's quiet for a few seconds.]

Uhh, okay. Are you sure that was a good idea? I'm looking at him right now and I think that thing with me just gave him a minor cardiac episode.

[Izunia is right there. Why did Ardyn raise such a rude son.]
burninglight: (soaring above our fears)

[personal profile] burninglight 2018-08-13 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not a sadist anymore, I warned him ahead of time.

...Wait, you're not angry?
misanthropicprinciple: <user name="soncschmarn" site="tumblr.com"> (Fine.)

[personal profile] misanthropicprinciple 2018-08-13 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
A major cardiac episode, at your age? You'd be dead.

[Anyway.]

Dad, whatever. Seven galaxies have already seen me bite it on space TV, I don't care if Uncle Shitweasel finally gets some context. It's kind of only fair, with everything we've learned about him over the last couple years.

It just freaked the shit out of me, seeing that again out of nowhere. I don't... know what happened, there. But speaking for myself, about this? I don't think he's going to learn anything about us he shouldn't know. Or that I wouldn't publicly admit to.

I just prefer to know what someone knows about me. I don't think you're wrong to do this.
burninglight: (then i'll carry on too)

[personal profile] burninglight 2018-08-13 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
...I understand. Still--I'm sorry I didn't let you know ahead of time.

Are you alright? [That was, logically, directed at Junpei--but at the same time, Ardyn didn't specify.]
misanthropicprinciple: (Oh. Poor baby.)

[personal profile] misanthropicprinciple 2018-08-13 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
I'm fine. Literally, nothing I haven't seen before.

[A pause, and he holds the phone out between himself and Izunia.]
burninglight: (then i'll carry on too)

[personal profile] burninglight 2018-08-13 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
...Suppose I should have been a bit more specific, in hindsight. Sorry.
burninglight: (with no hope of release)

[personal profile] burninglight 2018-08-13 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'm well aware I'm an idiot, thank you.
misanthropicprinciple: <user name="bibinella" site="tumblr.com"> (Hm?)

[personal profile] misanthropicprinciple 2018-08-13 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Uh, and I broke a dish. Be careful if you're going anywhere near the kitchen before I clean it up.
burninglight: (slipping through the cracks)

[personal profile] burninglight 2018-08-13 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
...yeah. Alright. Let me know if you need anything.

[Again, not specifying. But hey, that's progress and dad's out.]
misanthropicprinciple: <user name="ffunyarinpa" site="tumblr.com"> (Ugh...)

[personal profile] misanthropicprinciple 2018-08-13 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[He pockets his phone and then also his hands, way less freaked out and more... measuring. He regards Izunia with a kind of wary curiosity.]

...You're really gonna watch the whole thing?
misanthropicprinciple: <user name="thankyouze" site="tumblr.com"> (It's in the eyes.)

[personal profile] misanthropicprinciple 2018-08-13 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Sure. Fine.

[Junpei has expressed his own feelings to be "whatever, Dad" about people knowing he was in a murdergame, but he gets it. To privacy they go! He crosses his arms and keeps watching Izunia.]

You know I was fine, right? After that.
