Pathetic! [A hit - they recoil, too, but their rage is mightier.] Wretched! [Another hit across the face, and Douman jerks in place.] Coward!! You could never live up to Seimei!! Why do you think I exist, huh?!
[But the blows are too much for the moment - Douman's lips drawn back, they stop, chest heaving, body shaking.]
[Just hatred. There's nothing but hatred. Everything they are is made to be hated.]
[a hit, another, another - the other douman bleeds, sluggish and staggering. he stares up at douman with one eye, choking on blood, before - spitting a glob of it into douman's face.]
[Douman hisses, recoiling back - their free hand reaches up to wipe off the blood from their remaining eye, grin gleaming with teeth.]
...You have some nerve. Where did that come from, huh? Decided to grow a spine, all of a sudden? I think not. You're too faint-hearted to really go through with any of this. Give up while you still can. What's done is done!
[They step forward to grab Douman by the collar roughly, before slamming him down against the floor. They wince in pain, their voice hoarse as they draw back.]
Lay down and go to sleep and dream your dreams. I have work to do.
[that'll do it - they're stronger, after all. they always have been. the other douman hits the floor and gurgles, just for a moment, before his eyes shut. the lights above both doumans shiver and then crack as the light goes out, and the room is plunged into darkness.
after a moment, the light turns back on. the room is back to normal, clean and free of blood.
I think that's probably a good idea. The other rooms haven't been great. [... he looks at the elevator, which dings, and opens.] How many floors do you think there are?

[Just hatred. There's nothing but hatred. Everything they are is made to be hated.]
[And it's the easiest thing, to hate yourself.]

after a moment, the light turns back on. the room is back to normal, clean and free of blood.
douman, however, is still missing an eye.]
no subject
[And there it is.]
[Douman just stands there for a moment, the pain still there, everywhere, in their hand, in their missing eye.]
[How nice. Somehow, they feel more alive than ever.]
[With a huff, they turn around and exit the room. Time to see the elevator!]
no subject
there's footsteps behind them, though.]
no subject
And what do you want?
no subject
Wait - wait.
no subject
[.....What?]
[They actually lower their wrench slightly, but they're still tense.]
Omi? What...what are you doing here?
no subject
Your eye... [he seems concerned.] I don't know, I woke up here. I'm glad to see you, though.
no subject
[Its funny, how the tension eases as Omi reaches out his hand - he won't take them by both, but after a long pause, they take him by their free hand.]
Are you alright?
no subject
I'm okay. A little shaken, but. [he squeezes their hand gently.] Do you know what's going on?
no subject
[Its funny, how naturally they switch on the pleasant humble priest face, even in a state like this.]
I think there's an elevator here? Maybe we can go somewhere else. It's dangerous here, you know.
no subject
I think that's probably a good idea. The other rooms haven't been great. [... he looks at the elevator, which dings, and opens.] How many floors do you think there are?
no subject
[They enter the elevator with Omi in tow.]
I hope that it isn't a lot. I hardly want to be stuck in this place forever.
no subject
the elevator doors shut, and - well, it just goes down to floor two! ding. the door to room 203 is open, and there's the sound of a scuffle.]
no subject
[And...here they are! Wow. Time to find out what this fight business is all about?]
What's happening?
no subject
Is someone in trouble? [oh no! omi tugs at douman's hand.] We should look.
no subject
[Yeah, cloommate who is totally not evil, let's check it out! Douman is coming over, Omi in tow.]
