mybloodisblack | First Drop ❂ Action / Accidental Voice

[Everything today was wrong. Waking up outside, wearing new clothes that definitely didn't belong to him, along with a random book that had he had found on his face that fell open as he sat up, and the fact that there was no Ragnarok twisting his nose to wake him up just so everything could be blamed on him. No, instead there was a screaming in his head, and every vein in his body aching. The most Crona could do was curl up in a ball, and put his hands over his ears to maybe mute the yelling...but with no effect.]

No, I'm sorry! I don't know why you can't come out! But please stop, it's hurting me!

[He lets out a pained noise as more yelling commenced inside his head.]

T-this isn't my fault! I don't know what's going on, I just woke up! I'm sorry!

[For a very long time this conversation with himself goes on, Crona only apologizing, and not having any answers.

Although the argument finally does end, and when it does Crona is finally walking around. Although he has no idea where he's going, he will keep walking as long as Ragnarok tells him...the only time he does stop is when he hears any unnatural. Steps, talking, or the random branch falling. He hides as best as he can just in case it's something or someone threatening...]

Yes.

[Soren really doesn't like this idea. He's got a bad feeling, so he'll escape into a tree and watch from there. And but walking also involves sticks in your barefeet how do you fancy drawing blood.]

[Alright then, you get to watch the creepy action of black blood suddenly coming out of his hand, and morphing into a sword.

And after Crona swings it once or twice, it finally yells 'That took you long enough!']

[Oh.

Huh. Well, that's not what he was expecting at all, and Soren shrieks for him. It's more of a screech but whatever.]

What the hell is that?! [From one monster to the next.] That's Ragnarok? Your blood?! I think it's blood... Is it blood?

[Too much yelling. Crona just cringes at it, and tries to talk softly..]

H-he's in my blood, yes.

That's--

[horrifying. awful. monstrous. Chien frowns, then shakes his head. If Crona's blood has that sort of ability, then he's probably been called that since he was a kid, too. It... wasn't so bad here, he had to admit, and he knows what it feels like to be hated and feared.

Not a good thing.]

... Pretty cool, I guess. I've only know one other talking sword, and he was a real stiff.

[Soren trills cautiously from above, and keeps a close eye on that weapon. That's too weird.]

[Yes, he knows it's creepy, but those aren't the words he's used to. Useless is much closer. But, he won't have to keep on eye on it for long, as Crona makes it go back into his hand before Ragnarok starts yelling to anybody else.]

...There's only one? All of the weapons in my world talk. [People = weapon in his world, so it's very normal.]

[Useless isn't so bad to Chien, since plenty of people are useless in his world. It's just the monster stuff.]

There was another one that talked, but he was a crazy spear. No one really liked him. He supposed to end the war but he killed a lot of them instead, so the sword was made and that ended the war. What kind of blacksmith do you have that can make any weapon talk?

[Useless is worse than monstrous to him...]

All weapons talk...But Medusa is a witch, which is why Ragnarok is in me..

[Well, he definitely won't be useless here...]

So wait, this Medusa persona put a sword inside of your blood? And all of your weapons can talk. [COOOOOOL] You want to get to the village, right? Come on. We'll walk.

[They will walk and talk. He whistles a little at Soren, who chirps back and will be staying above them, thank you, Crona's freaked him out. Onward!!]

Well...all of the weapons are people.. [And it's so not cool!

He'll walk behind him at a distance.]

So you use people as weapons.

[your world sounds like his, crona!!!]

Sort of...people are weapons.

So you're really one weird case, huh, with your blood weapon. What do you mean that they are weapons? Are they monsters or something like that? Used by the military in a stupid war just because of what they are? [Bitterness? Of course not.]

I'm the only one like this, yes...[Let him think about this..it's sorta a war, but...] No, they're people that turn into all kinds of weapons, like Ragnarok turns into a sword. Everyone in the Academy fights to kill people that have become evil..

[Literal weapons. Well, that wasn't so bad since it's their purpose. Or something.] How come they can turn into weapons? And what's the academy for?

They just...can? The Academy is a school.

[It'd be easier to understand if he could actually see it...]

Does the Academy teach them how to?

[Well while Crona would like to show it...he cannot.]

The Academy teaches everything.

What's 'everything' include?

Normal school things..? I don't know exactly. I was supposed to be walked around today for the first time, but I woke up here instead.

Probably better that you didn't, school doesn't seem like a lot of fun.

[It isn't too fun learning to read from Silver, and he's had to practice writing by himself since Ikki left.]

But it was going to be better than being in alone in a room all the time.

You'll be lucky if you can find a room alone here. There's people everywhere! In fact, if you find a place free of people, drop me and Soren here a line. It's been trouble for a few weeks now...

...I can probably find a place without people.. [Or he can scare them off. Either way, he's good at making people go away.]

... If you're really looking for a place not to be alone at, one of the big buildings in the village would be good. Maybe you could room with a... friend or something, if you find one here.

[Soren trills from above, and Chien frowns. No way. It was one thing to bring back a newbie to the village, it was another thing to offer the guy a place to stay.]

The rooms aren't always filled with people, but a good number of them have at least two people each.
