night five - kill log.

[foxhounds]

Who: Killers and Royce Melborn
When: The fifth night
Where: The jungles of Ship-Trap Island

[ It's the dead of night in the jungle. Considering the Hunt, you have to wonder if you're actually safe out here, but it at least seems quiet. Maybe you could try getting some rest, or maybe you should keep watch. Either way, that quiet may not seem very comforting. ]

Oh! I totally forgot about that thing.

[Mostly because no one's fallen into it yet, by some miracle... It's easy to forget about the gaping hole in the jungle floor when you've got to worry about every other side of a war murdering you.]

Sure, sure - that should work just fine. We'll come back for your stuff later, okay? [Kasen's outer layers of clothing, he means.] Let's dump him now while we're out here already and then go find the next.

[liberalarts]

[ Kasen nods in agreement, then sighs as he starts to head over to Royce. He's taller and more muscular between them, so he takes on the task of carrying Royce without asking. ]

Certainly. I don't think it's too far from here, at least...

[ He's not carrying Royce ten miles that's for sure. With a noise of exertion, he carefully loads Royce up onto his back, since it's easier for him to carry him that way. ]

Ah, when we're done, I'll clean up too. We'll both have a bit of blood to wash off, won't be?

[adornmental]

Mmmhm. Ugh, I'm gonna have to do something about this stupid cut, too.

[He can't blame Yamato for this one since he deda too... That's going to be a struggle, but he'll figure it out later. He'll just have to bear it in the meantime and hope that it doesn't impede his ability to strike quickly and precisely, because he knows he'll really need that tonight.

Anyway, Kasen will get a thanks for carrying the body! And after a little while of walking:]

Oh— Hey, I think that's it over there. See? [POINTS over toward what basically looks like a gaping spot of nothingness in the middle of the dark vegetation.]

[liberalarts]

Ah, good, good.

[ Kasen really does sound relieved by the time they get there, because even carrying a smol amount of deadweight is still deadweight, so it's not very easy. ]

You can just stay here. I'll take care of it, since it's probably better if we don't both stand there, hm?

[ He responds with a half laugh that's gentle, even though based on Megumi, that's not quite something to joke about. He gives Kashuu a nod, and then carefully heads to the edge of the sinkhole before setting Royce down at the edge. From there, it's just a matter of giving him a solid kick to send him into that abyss, but Kasen doesn't even bother to wait to hear if he hits any sort of ground. He simply returns to Kashuu's side with an encouraging smile. ]

Well! Shall we? He really did make a mess, so I think taking a quick swim will be quite a relief!

[adornmental]

[Ah, there he goes... bye felicia.

Kashuu watches from a relatively safe distance, though after Megumi, he's still on his guard (never really drops it completely, honestly) like he's just waiting for the ground to crumble... But it doesn't. With Kasen's safe return and the body properly disposed of, he'll smile in response, nodding in agreement. He's still off-kilter, but he's trying to take his cue from the encouragement in Kasen's smile.

This is fine, right?

They'll be fine.]

Let's go, let's go! I think I could use something like that before we set out again. Better wash this out before it gets infected, too... And I gotta clean off Yasusada.

[So to the water it is!! He'll turn, though he waits for Kasen, not wanting to stray too far from his side.]

[liberalarts]

[ It's fine, Kashuu. Kasen's smile clearly says that, and it's matched in his gestures as he places an encouraging hand on Kashuu's uninjured shoulder. ]

Mm, let's. It's still early in the night, so I think we have a bit more time to work. Come—

[ And so off the two insane swords go to wash off the blood and then go murder more people, most likely. ]
