Cat Spirit 7! [Action]

[catus_carnival]

[As expected, joining the mallynap canonupdate bathtub brigade is (1) Taokaka. One depressed Taokaka. If you've ever wanted to see a depressed Kaka, now's your chance as the journal catches a small glimpse of a wet, dripping Tao face down in someone's filled bathtub.  Ragna's, to be specific. Which looks kinda like she's dead. No bubbles at the surface...oh boy. It's a while of silence before she finally moves around, sloshing water over the sides and just...dictating 'meow's over the journal.]

Meow...meow...meow...

Are you sure? [Stare.] You're still wounded.

[What Ragna said.]

[not_meatbuns]

[And there's someone here to deal with the wounded part. There's a knock on the door.

Outside, Litchi is a little fidgety. It took relying on the lure of the Azure to get here, but... it was for a good cause. And the pull is weak. Everything should be fine, right...?]

[catus_carnival]

[Also fidgeting.]

Meow?...

Who the-- [Who the hell is at the door? Ragna looks over to Noel.] Get the door.

[While Ragna goes to get Blood-scythe, just in case.]

[Noel looks at Ragna hesitantly, giving him a small nod before going to the door. Seeing as how they never get any visitors, this comes off as kind of suspicious. Who could it be...?

Maybe it's someone from downstairs; the water leaked through!!1

Cautiously, Noel opens the door...]

[Action]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[...Huh?]

M-Miss... Litchi?

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

[And there it is. The echoes. Her vision is darkening rapidly, but at least she can still see. Deep breath. Keep it under control, Litchi. You can do this.

She forces a somewhat shaky smile.]

...Sorry for how sudden this is. But... Tao told me she was hurt. I thought I'd come to help.

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

[Just this face. Now you've piqued her interest.]

[Action]

[black-onslaught.livejournal.com]

Oh, hell no! [Guess who has Blood-scythe and is stepping up towards Litchi. Gradually.] You're not stepping a damn foot in here!

Get the hell out of here!

[Action]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[O-Oh, shit. Noel gasps at Ragna's sudden...entrance, but stays in the same place, still shocked that Litchi somehow found out where they lived. She seems like she actually wants to help Tao, but... what she saw...

What does she do?]

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

[Yeah. Tao's about as useless as Noel now because she doesn't know what the hell is going on. MOMMY DADDY STOP FIGHTING ;_;]

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

[And now with Ragna charging in closer, she can see barely more than shadows. Backing up a few steps, half out of fear over what Ragna is yelling for, half to try and clear her vision a little. What in the world is he so angry about, anyway?!

Forgetting Mantenbou at home was probably a bad idea, wasn't it?]

I... I'm only here to help Tao! Please, just let me see her!

[Action] 1/2

[black-onslaught.livejournal.com]

[He stops. She was here to help Tao, and Tao needed help. Enemy or not, Litchi was still a doctor. His posture softens up a bit, but not by much.]

[Action] 2/2

[black-onslaught.livejournal.com]

You get five minutes, then you have to get the hell out of here.

[Excuse him as he moves to leave the apartment. He doesn't want to be in the same room with her.] C'mon, Noel.

[Action]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[Oh, thank god. Noel's secretly glad that this didn't escalate into an all-out brawl. As Ragna walks by, Noel moves to follow him, slowing down briefly to look at Litchi. Her face hides nothing; the doctor's presence is making Noel upset. She opens her mouth a little as if to say something to her, but...

...as soon as she does that, she quickly looks away, following Ragna out the door without a word.

Why...?]

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

[What... in the world...? Litchi can only barely make out Noel and Ragna's faces, but it's still clear: something definitely happened and she has no clue what it is. She... she hasn't spoken to either one much since they got back, has she?

...Was it something back home? But she never saw...

Forcing herself to move in the opposite direction of the incredible pull of the Azure, she swallows against the rapidly-forming lump of worry in her throat. Just tend to Tao for now. Worry about what happened later.]

Tao...
