OPEN RP POST DEUX

This a post where I'll RP anything with you and that means ANYTHING. ~~Except smut because I suck at that~~ Got a scenario in mind? I'LL DO IT. Here's some prompts below to help get things moving along if you don't have an idea to play out. The prompts are just prompts, if you have something specific, just let me know either at

sweethymns or my AIM (rainsweets). Have at it!

➢ 01. AMUSEMENT PARK: Disneyland? Knotts Berry Farm? Six Flags? A made up amusement park with knockoff characters? Who cares, let's just ride that roller coaster or that giant swing ride!
➤ 02. PARK: Benches, trees, grass, maybe a lake and a basketball or volleyball court.
➢ 03. SNOWY DAY: Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful... or the level of snowfall can be any you wish! Light or heavy, there's going to be some winter related activities somewhere.
➤ 04. DINER: I love food, I really, really, really love food. And so do muses if they like to eat too! This diner seems to have a very HUGE menu with a large variety of dishes! Let's bond over food stuffs!
➢ 05. SICK DAY: Either your muse or my muse is sick. Who's taking care of who?
➤ 06. SEVEN MINUTES IN HEAVEN: Our characters are stuck in a closet and can't get out until there is some kissing, so they better make good use of those seven minutes... DON'T YOU DARE JUDGE ME.
➢ 07. SCHOOL: High school never ends! Or any type of schooling really. So whether it's in class or in the gym, let's try to endure mandatory education!
➤ 08. SURVIVAL HORROR: That old mansion/creepy town/underground science lab/zombie infested city ain't going to be survived by itself. Grab your medicinal herbs and shotguns, let's survive the horror.
➢ 09. WILDCARD: Let's make up shit.

[Fujino takes a step backwards as if she was going to listen, but her power is allowing her to see to a certain extent. She also can't stop now, not when she can do something.

The mysterious force coming from her sight is being directed at the remaining weapon holders.

Bend. Bend. Bend.

It's frighteningly precise. Guns, twisted to the point of being metal junk are dropped to the ground, one by one, and the beat down they're getting from Matt isn't helping either. Only two more left. The rest, their faces have met either Matt's fist or the pavement. Or both.

The last two are trying to decide whether it's worth going after Fujino at this point. One of them is rushing at her until...]

Bend.

[The light bulbs in two nearby streetlamps explodes, stopping him his tracks and cloaking the street they're on in darkness. The only light comes from the glow of Fujino's eyes.]

[ Oh, he has a feeling why Fujino is considered something dangerous now. He hears metal creak and iron twist, and with it, the shocked cries of men who've lost their bluster.

Of the remaining two, the one closest to Matt stalls when the lights go out (which Matt assumes from the shattering of glass, the scent of a burned-out fuse), which Matt takes as an opportunity to close the gap between them and grind his opponent into a painful headlock.

Who sent you is what he whispers, but he thinks better of interrogating this one while the other is still on his feet: dropping his first enemy, he makes a dash for the second one to knock him on his back, to ask the same hissed warning. ]

Who sent you. And why.

[ He can think about the slowly-creeping shock of meeting someone who can bend things by prompting later, when his adrenaline wears off and he can think with a more level head. Not that he thinks that'll help much, but he's not one to talk. ]

[The world has become dark and hazy again. Fujino figures what she's done is enough and shuts her eyes closed. Anymore and she'd risk hurting the man who rescued her.

The man in Matt's grasp just laughs nervously, the kind that knows when to give up, but he's able to snark back.]

"Just pickin' up the slack after good ol' Fisk left town. That Yakuza assholes are still floating 'round Hell's Kitchen after all. T-That's all I know, I swear!"

[He glances worriedly at Fujino, as if wondering if she'd give away something.]

"A-As for whatever that is, I-I really don't know! I was just paid to ship out and the Asagami was just for later... I had no idea!"

Edited 2015-05-11 01:57 (UTC)

The Yakuza.

[ He parrots, his tone appropriately wary considering what little he'd seen of them last: Nobu, slowly burning. The man in his hands tenses, but not because of a fear of being found out— he can tell the difference between the clench of muscles that comes with begging as opposed to grasping at straws for a good lie. Mercifully for this man, Matt can tell that he's doing the former. ]

...Don't ever crawl around at her heels again. I'll know if you do.

[ And with that, Matt knocks their assailant out with a sharp left hook and leaves him to sleep on the ground until someone notices. Silence stretches between him and Fujino, but when he's ready to speak again, his tone is calmer than even he'd anticipated. ]

Long night.

[The sound of his voice and what he says, makes her smile.]

You're probably more tired than me.

[The darkness in her voice has left. It's gentle again and she lets out a sigh of relief. Things could have gotten a lot worse, but it didn't and that's all that matters.]

Thank you.

[ It's a whole new box of IcyHot that he'll have to crack open tonight, and another impromptu bandaging job courtesy of his well-abused medkit, but all in all— it wasn't a night ill spent. He has questions to ask, sanity to doubt, but first... ]

You can thank me when we get to my place.

[ ...Going home to his apartment would be nice. He stumbles over, finds his sense of center, and reaches for Fujino's hand. ]

I didn't count on you being so popular around here. Come on.

Me neither.

[Her fingers wrap around his hand and she lets him lead her forward.]

... Ah... I suppose I shouldn't need to ask, but... You won't tell anyone right?

[The world's becoming a bigger place. People with powers have appeared. People who might be even similar to her. But someone like her doesn't deserve a place among them, not after what she had done. She was fine, living her life quietly. She was fine with just living in general.]

Edited 2015-05-11 02:28 (UTC)

If you won't tell anyone about me, yes.

[ Which implies a certain level of trust he's putting in her, because he really doesn't want to have to be the person who threatens a girl who's being chased around by Yakuza dogs. Besides, it wouldn't be fair of him to reveal anything about Fujino when he's still keeping most of his own secrets under lock and key.

He's cautious, though. She might be able to detect that, with his easy deflections and his purely 'need-to-know' basis statements despite the general congeniality that's slowly seeping into the edges of his words. It's easier the closer he gets to home, the closer he gets to shedding his mask. ]

And I won't ask about what you can do, if you'd prefer it that way.

[ He's more concerned with whos than hows at the moment. ]

I won't. It's only fair, isn't it?

[Well, if nothing else, she's used to keeping secrets.]

About what I can do... It's not that hard to explain. I bend things.

I figured.

[ That may sound a little patronizing, but he's mostly amused that she's stated it so simply, as if it's not completely remarkable that she can, you know. Twist iron like it's taffy.

But he guesses it's just something that'll sound strange no matter how you slice it, much like his own ability.

He steals into the back door of his apartment complex, pops on inside, and takes Fujino with him. ]

Something that happened because of a childhood accident?

[ Let's see if he has anything in common with her. ]

[Her other hand reaches out to touch the wall. The solid feeling gives her some comfort as well as the thought of being inside and safe, away from any more bad people.]

No. I was born with these eyes. But for the longest time, I didn't use them.

Eyes...?

[ He doesn't make the association with her powers and her eyes, which might clue her in to his sightlessness, maybe not. He's not exactly giving her much to go with, after all.

Walking up the stairs to his room, he guides Fujino up, up, until there's a jingle of keys and an unmistakable sound of a door swinging open. ]

You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. Come inside.

[ Again, giving her the luxury of secrecy if she wants it. ]

It's fine. There aren't many people I could talk to about it in the first place.

[She pauses as she waits for him to open the door, listening to the motions carefully and entering inside when he gives the okay.]

And you helped me. I think I can tell you that much.

You aren't obligated.

[ He says with a laugh, because he doesn't quite agree that she owes him any sort of explanation aside from what he needs to know for the safety of his city— her business is her business. Maybe he's just a cagey person and he's projecting, but these things are important to him.

He leads her through the familiar space of his apartment, towards his bedroom. The couch is fine for him. ]

I just did what I needed to do.

Have you been doing this sort of thing for a while? Going out at night and beating up bad people, I mean?

[It's kind of a foreign concept to her really, actually helping others who were in trouble and in pain. Perhaps it's because she was so preoccupied in the past with her... Lack of it. The lack of pain closed her off to even her close friends.

She's quiet before remarking under her breath...]

It must hurt. A lot.

[ Fingers tighten around her palms for a moment to indicate that he'll be letting go, and he does— but not without patting the bed first, letting the sound of soft mattress echo through the quiet to prove that it's there and solid. Safe. ]

Long enough. You make it sound more glamorous than it is, really.

[ He smiles to himself as he starts peeling his mask and shirt off, winces as the fabric clings to the cuts he's gotten over the course of the night. ]

As for hurting, well. It comes with the territory.

I doubt it would be. It's admirable though; you care enough to put yourself in danger like that.

[There's something very human about it at least to her. Wanting to help others and put yourself through such danger meant that there was empathy and an understanding of the hurt. Her grasp on such sensations came a little too late.

Fujino carefully seats herself on the bed, feeling the material between her fingers. Huh. Silk sheets.]

At least you didn't get shot. That was what worried me the most.

[And the reason why she decided to activate her Eyes in the first place. This man was already dealing with enough as it is back there.]

I was more worried about you. You shouldn't have come out like that.

[ He's of the opinion that, of the two of them? She was the one in real danger. They wouldn't have bothered killing him if it came down to it, but Fujino probably wouldn't have been so lucky— he knows remorselessness, even if he can't see expressions, strictly speaking.

Technically, he can tell that she isn't injured, but he feels the need to say this anyway, just to clear the air: ] If you're hurt, I can patch you up. But really, you should've left the recklessness to me.

[Fujino shakes her head when he asks about any potential injuries. She's unscathed for the most part as he correctly assumed.]

... I may not seem like it, but I'm plenty reckless myself.

[It's a bit of an understatement when it comes to her. She assumes she's facing him so she faces forward and tilts her head questioningly.]

Is there something I could call you by? Or will you be a stranger even when we part?

[ The dreaded question: what to call him. Thankfully, his moniker as "the Devil of Hell's Kitchen" has become somewhat passe, so he at least has another ridiculous name Fujino can call him by— ]

—"Daredevil".

[ There's a bit of internal groaning on his part. ]

I promise I didn't come up with it. I've got the press to thank for that one. [ taking a seat on the other edge of the bed, just to give her a clue as to where he is right now. ]

[For a moment she's a bit at a loss at how to reply. But then there's a low chuckle and she covers her mouth to muffle it.]

Well! It says more than enough, doesn't it? Only a daredevil would take on more than one person all by himself.

I don't know how flattering they meant it to be. I think the name's just shy of being called "really damn stupid", actually.

[ Which is a sentiment he's sure many people feel about him, not that he has any right to complain. Or would refute, really.

He mirrors the chuckle, lets his voice lift from the low gravel of his vigilante persona into something more "Matt Murdock". ]

Maybe. At least you're aware of it somewhat, but...

... Admittedly, I suppose the thought of helping others by putting myself in danger is... Foreign? That's somewhat of an exaggeration.

[A beat and she turns her head towards what she can only assume is another wall (maybe that's where the window is, maybe). She sounds wistful.]

I always focused on being normal.

It's... [ A hand runs through his hair, punctuated by a mild sigh, as if he'll never know how to articulate this in a way that sounds convincing. ] ...it's not a matter of deciding, what I do.

[ His tone softens as he decides to set his own issues aside. ]

There's nothing wrong with that, by the way. Normal.

[She turns to face him again, placing her hands on her lap.]

It took me a long time to actually realize what that was. "Normal," I mean.

[Her fingers grip her long skirt as if demonstrating some sort of inner conflict. There's so few people she's been able to talk to about these sorts of thoughts that plagued her mind. But he knows her power now and he rescued her. And as long as these words don't leave this apartment...]

Even before my eyesight worsened, there was always something lacking; sensations I couldn't quite grasp.
