Hnngh...

Hah....[wheeze and a little gasp, with muffled voices in the background, and ticking]....got it.

[And then there's a loud BANG, before hazy silence, plagued by a slow ticking that finally stops. ]

[Transmission times out.]

[ooc: log's still in progress, but Aion and Jenai distracted Chrno as Joshua unsealed the watch, let it drain out, and when she finally got hold of it on her last breaths, he shot her. Lol. <--dont click if you dont want to be sad.]

The sudden wheeze from the communicator attracts her attention, pulling her eyes towards it as it sits on the desk. Someone needing help? Healer for Justice senses go into immediate alert. Dimly she realizes the voice is familiar, but faint as it is, she can't identify it. She reaches for the device to hear better, to respond.

BANG. The sound slams into her, jolting through her nerves. And then the ticking . . . winding slowly, slowly, dwindling away . . .

And then she knows.

"R-Rosette-san?" The name is soft, rough.

No answer.

"Rosette-san!!" Demanding now, loud and panicked.

No answer.

She whirls from her chair. "Shiki!" And is gone from the room.

	[Chrono whirls around, preparing to attack Jenai again-- And then stops. Rosette. He didn't see Rosette. Where's Rosette?! He freezes, scanning around for Rosette and...only seeing the other blond Christopher with a gun in his hand, looking down at blood-splattered flowers... NO...no....NO!] Rosette?! ROSETTE!!

[he's at a dead run coming into Xanadu--but when he hears the gun go off he picks up his pace, coming over the crest of the hill with just a moment to take in the scene before him--Chrono and--and someone else...he looked familiar, and then Joshua standing in the sunflowers with a gun in his hand--was that blood?!--]

[--and he bolts straight for the sunflowers--]

	[Chrono turns to look over his shoulder at Jenai, gritting his teeth. How--how dare-- He blindly throws himself at Jenai, ignoring his lowering reserves of astral for a moment to try to get in an attack and keep him away from Rosette and Doumeki.] (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

[Doumeki spares Jenai a brief glance, but once he sees Chrono going after him, he goes straight for the sunflowers, stumbling to a stop, feeling his stomach turn. Something in him wants to point out the irony of the sunflowers to himself, but he can only stumble forward, dropping to his knees.

It's not like he hasn't seen corpses before--he has. But he's never seen death this way--eyes open and lifeless, blood spattered over her white dress and the yellow flowers--he's in shock, for a moment, feels bile rising in his throat--no, no, it wasn't supposed to end this way, he thought for sure--

And he swallows it back, feeling sick. Rosette...Rosette...

He reaches out a hand, shaking, trembling, sliding it under her shoulders and pulling her limp form against him, cradling her gently against his chest, other hand lifting and brushing her eyelids down, feeling her lashes brush softly against his palm as he closes her eyes.

His throat is tightening, his eyes feel hot, and he lets his head fall to his chest, squeezing his eyes shut. Already she's growing colder, loosing heat--he wants to deny it, wants to scream or cry or something--

But he does nothing. He does nothing but sit there and hold her, head down, cradling her against his chest.]

	Chrono! What are you, some kind of idiot?! [Shiki yelled that, sprinting over to where the two were fighting. His hand dove into his pocket, pulling out his knife. His other hand pulled off his glasses, putting them in his other pockets.] Let me take care of this guy. You have something else to do! (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

[The well energized demon laughs and shoots up into the air snapping out his wings to avoid the attack. Aion didnt want either of them dead afterall, and Joshua had already had his fun. He didnt feel like getting shredded like Vid had by the angry demon. Besides, he didnt like the look in that whimp kid's eyes.]

Dont forget her fare Chrno! Here! I'll even chip in!

	[Doumeki, for his part, hasn't moved yet, other than to force his own emotions back, to try and lock them away--it's proving harder than he expected, and he's feeling sick to his stomach, eyes open now, just looking down at her, blank.

Game over.

[Aion said with a dead tone. He drops down from the tree and starts to casually walk towards the small gathering of people that was starting to form.]

Jenai! Joshua! That's enough...

[Moving towards Chrno, the sinner towers over him as he gives him a blank serious stare.]

It seems you were too late, yet again, Chrno... You have a habit of repeating the same mistakes, don't you? But you see now. You're weak because you have this so called 'important thing' in your pathetic life. Now come back to us, I'll prepare you another 'one (contractor)' soon enough...

[Aion glared at the low life in front of him, interrupting their conversation. Adjusting his glasses, he sighed as he spoke in a low tone.]

It seems it doesn't matter what world you're in... You always surround yourself with pests...

[Swiftly, he spread his fingers out in front of the boy's face before attempting to knock him off to the side.]

Pipe down... It's been a while since I've been able to truly have a good conversation with him...

[Shiki stepped back out of reach, not exactly wanting to show off.]

Just leave. If you come any clo-

[That feeling gripped at his chest. There he was. A demon, right in front of him. Blood pounded through his head as a single thought flowed through him.

Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill.

He tried to fight if off but...]

Just stay back...

	[Doumeki lifted his head slowly, to watch the proceedings. This...was not going anywhere good. He recognizes Aion from both Chrono and Rosette's memories, and it causes him to instinctively clutch Rosette tighter, amber eyes narrowing. He wasn't stupid--he knew he was no match for Aion. But--what was wrong with Shiki?] (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

She'd been slower to arrive . . . not because of lack of willingness, but knowing that she was far too late -- and afraid what she was going to see.

What she saw hit and overwhelmed the senses. An unknown man cradling Rosette's bloodied body. Chrono tensed and on alert. Those who could only be enemies teasing, taunting. And Shiki . . .

Her lower lip trembled faintly. She jabbed her teeth into it.

"Don't!" The sound broke from her -- and somehow she doubted it would be heard.

	[ Having jumped back as soon as Chrono and Shiki got near, Joshua just laughs, twirling the gun around his finger. ] Looks like everyone's late to the party. Too bad.

[Aion swung his arm out and around, bringing it back towards his pocket as he watched the boy dodge out of the way. Tensing his eyes as he noticed something wrong with Shiki, he soon curiously stared at him with a smirk on his face.]

Oh? That's some thirst for blood... You feel that hateful of me, do you? Ha ha ha... Interesting...

[Feeling the intensity rise, even the sinner knew he was no match, especially without his sword handy. Besides, the whole commotion itself was drawing too much attention. Adjusting his glasses one last time, he made his final comments before disappearing with the others.]

Well all right. Unfortunate, but we'll have to cut it short for today. I'll come see you again, Chrno... By then, I'll have a contractor ready for you. You know the only role you're capable of carrying out... A bird that cannot fly is only pitiful and sad... Stop fucking around and accept the single truth. Remember it well, Chrno, of our... dream... heh.

[Chrono shudders, turning his head as Aion leaves. No...no, he won't take a new contractor. He won't listen to him...~~No matter how much his words got to him.~~

As soon as Chrono's sure Aion's really gone, he turns and begins to blindly run to where Rosette had been fighting Joshua. He felt so weak, a part of him already knew, but he didn't want to believe it could be true. She had to make it through this....]

Leaving . . . no. After all this chaos, all this loss, they just opt to leave -- as though it were nothing, as though it didn't matter. It couldn't be allowed. Amelia yanked her reflexes into action, hands spinning a spell.

"Chaos String!" The spell sought to capture Aion, to bind him before he faded, to make him stay and face consequences. The spell arched forward, hurling towards the demon.

Of course by that time it was too late. She'd missed. Her eyes flashed towards Shiki and Chrono, trying to assess what needed to be done -- or what could be done, blood still stirred.

And stilled as her gaze fell on Rosette.
