The Silence After the Storm

The Ken Amada who made certain threats, whom Igor didn't bring to the Velvet Room and didn't welcome, has been permanently contained within his other-world self. Many of the Velvet Room residents mobilized in the effort to neutralize the threat he posed, and now, in the moments after the devastating battle that sealed Ken away, perhaps you have business to conclude.

Maybe you're a fighter, left in the rubble the battle made of its surroundings—or maybe you were a noncombatant this time, left behind to wonder what's happening or prepare for the aftermath. Maybe you linger around the battle site, or maybe you have other things to do.

Or maybe you didn't survive. Maybe you're one of the glowing forms slowly coalescing in front of Igor's desk in the Velvet Room over the course of the subsequent half hour. Igor presides over them gravely, with no sign of his usual smile. Near his desk sits a box of snacks, familiar to anyone who's used the operation's training room.

"Oh, can I-" he almost beams up as the vampire mentions bat wings how cool is that?! Fascinating! But then he reigns himself, cools down- hands curling as he brings it to the back of his head to awkwardly scratch at it. "Sorry-! Never mind."

At the mention of his death he tried to bite down his own wince before coughing to excuse himself. "I suppose its...reasonable to see the positives."

"Hm," he looks away for a moment. "-when you mentioned the bat wings and showed them off earlier in battle I just found it...so surreal haha. You know Morning, right? The one I mentioned in my network post? He would actually be quite curious about you. Like vampires in general."
vampirethief: (uhhhh)

He didn't use bat wings during the fight.

"I don't have the wings anymore, sorry. They went away after Halloween ended. Maybe you saw Satanael's wings?"

He didn't go into bat form either because he needed to focus on keeping up attacks to distract Evil Ken. Unfortunately it wasn't enough to stop his demise.

"Truthfully I haven't met him yet, but I wouldn't be against talking with him and answering any questions he may have." He'll have to be careful as Morning is one of the Actualized victims in the Velvet Room.

casual me being dumb its okay i will just hold onto satanael's wings LMFAO I AM SORRY

"Ah-! That could be it, I was in the very back so I had just seen those large wings." Way to go, Takuto. Then again, in the battle things didn't have to make sense, did it? Not when he was barely in control of Azathoth.

Still, personal misunderstandings aside Maruki's smile widened. "Of course-! I am still working on understanding his condition but having friends and socializing with others is the best way to prevent any taxing echo-chamber."

His expression twists to something bittersweet. "...hah, I know I am not exactly seen in the best light here but Morning shouldn't have to suffer the brunt of it. I could pass you his phone number if need be."

No worries. Plus it works ICly.

Ren's not surprised that came up. It was bound to head in this direction.

"A lot of people here were hurt by their version of you back in their homes. Myself included. And I do admit, I feel sorry for Morning, as well as others who have been actualized."

He's gonna hold back because he doesn't want to be too harsh. He's trying to be diplomatic here.

"Sure, you can pass on his number to me." He then gets out his phone.

He reigns his expression to something neutral, doesn't say more than he needs to; they won't understand.

And maybe he doesn't fully either.

Sorry sorry victims...

"Sorry for bringing the mood down," he offers then nods as he fetches his own phone out and prepares to exchange said numbers.

Once that's said and done, he nods to himself. "There isn't any obligation by the way, I am grateful you heard me out." He bows lightly. "I hope you two get along and oh- sorry-! Yeah I will get out of your hair now. Take care, alright?"
vampirethief: (uncomfortable)

Ren tensed up for a second, thinking there was gonna be another arguement. One that he was way too tired currently to have. But then he sees him seemingly backing down and calms down.

He nods once they are done with the number exchange. "Yeah, I should head back to my apartment to rest."

Frankly he's ready to go to bed and hide from the sun for a while.
takutomaruki: rosebursts (i am happy for you)

adios vampire ren :3

Maruki notices him tensing and yep- should have expected it. It's really terrible to see others being this uncomfortable around him but oh well- what can you do?

Despite that, his smile widened. "Don't be shy with the snacks too whenever you get the chance. All of you deserve to treat yourselves over a job well done." And he was sincere about that because even if he did end up doing some heavy lifting of his own when helping the others- it wasn't something he would ever regret but there aren't many choices that are given in the face of adversity anyway.

"See you."

Even if he's quite sure that Ren might never even approach him again. Oh well. He's already off, picking up the blankets and walking off- attending to the others who may need his help.
