Don't mind the Rock God over at the table wearing what appears to be the most spiked shoulderpads his roadies could dredge up. Also don't mind the fact that he's covered in what appears to be blood. Or the fact that he's toting a flamethrower.

The fact that he's eating some chocolate cake is the important part. Delicious chocolate cake. He needed something to eat between setting Mordhaus on fire and going and finding some puppies to kick.

Toki's gone berserk, folks.

Have fun with him.

Rem watched him intently, he would have almost fit in with the Shinigami of her world. He was human, she knew that, she could see his name and lifespan, but why was he dressed like that, and covered in blood?

"You are a strange human," she said finally after 15 minutes of observing.

[oh-wowee.livejournal.com]

"You's a strange whateversdefG#ks you is, you don't sees me sayings a thing abouts it." Hissed the guitarist.

There should have been a warning label on him.

[shinigami-rem.livejournal.com]

Rem was not fazed.

"It is rare to find a human that might be able to nearly blend in in the Shinigami realm," she said.

[oh-wowee.livejournal.com]

"Who would wants to blends intos a place? Dey probably all still dies dere." Hissed Toki, before stuffing more cake into his mouth.

"It would sucks no matters what."

[shinigami-rem.livejournal.com]

Rem chuckled a little, "Yes, Shinigami die, but there is only one way to kill one."

Rem blinked.

"I was just interested in you,Toki Wartooth," she explained, " The Shinigami realm is a wasteland, it is no place for a human."

[oh-wowee.livejournal.com]

It wasn't odd for random strangers to know his name, hell, he had it happen all the time. What was interesting, however, was Toki's scoff as he shoved the heel of the cake away and stared daggers at Rem.

"Oh you thinks so, huh? You thinks is nots a wastelands where I lives? I can'ts even goes outsides to does stuff or peoples goes insanes and tries to kills demselves for me!"

[shinigami-rem.livejournal.com]

"Why would they do that?" asked the god of death.

[oh-wowee.livejournal.com]

"Dey's stupid."

Duh, death god dude.

[shinigami-rem.livejournal.com]

Does he even know that she's a god of death?

Rem shook her head, this human was hopeless.

"I wish I had my Death Note..." she murmured.

[oh-wowee.livejournal.com]

Nope, not a clue. But the fact remained, he was rather growly.

"Whats is a death notes, is dat a notes you can plays on de guitars dat you can kills people with?"

He suddenly hoped that were true. One chord and whole cities would lay in ruins.

[shinigami-rem.livejournal.com]

"it's a notebook that the Shinigami have," she explained, "We write the names of humans in it. They die."

Rem smiled an evil smile.

"My Death Note was left behind in the human world," she said, "I am dead."

[oh-wowee.livejournal.com]

"Oh. Good."

He shrugged one spiked shoulder and took a drink of beer which he'd been nursing as he ate.

"Den some stupid dudes probably gots it and is writings names in it now and dey is usings it withouts your permission."

[shinigami-rem.livejournal.com]

Rem nodded.

"It is not my problem now," she said, "This is my afterlife."

Some things one was prone to noticing. A brother gone over the edge? Well, that was certainly well within the limits of her radar!

So, a Rachel came padding in from outside, barefoot and trailing flames (and melting snow). She took a moment to take in the scene then chuckled, pulling a chair up next to Toki despite his new regalia...and leaning her head on his shoulder, just shy of a spike or twelve.

"I'm tempted to dunk you in the lake a few times" she noted simply.

[Immediate slow, as mun should have been in bed five hours ago, AND had doctors visits and all today for arm. Typing still sucks sadly.]

[oh-wowee.livejournal.com]

_{[[No worries! REST!!]]}

"Goes ahead and dos it. I don't cares. You goings to dies anyway."

His voice was gravelly and hissed, his thoughts were dark and ash, and his whole demeanor had been changed from light and happy to... well, it resembled his world rather well. Only on fire.

[futures_of_ash]

[Aye aye! *salutes*]

No, a world on fire hungered. It bled and yearned for life and everything about it. It reached...Toki wasn't doing that. Not at all.

So, Rachel shrugged, stood up, and snagged him by the back of the collar. "I'll make sure you don't rust" she promised simply as she headed for the door. Yes, she was strong for her size...but teke was her main weapon! "...you can swim right?"

Maybe she'd just kinda lay him in the shallows if he couldn't?

[oh-wowee.livejournal.com]

Toki was unhappily dragged from his cake and crossed his arms. "Who cares."

Because that's mature, sure.

[futures_of_ash]

Mature probably wasn't an issue in point today, after all, mature people didn't arbitrarily dunk people in lakes! Though...they should. It'd be good for so many people...

"Who cares if you can swim?" she asked, creating a Toki sized furrow in the snow as she dragged him through the door "Well, me for starters? I hate to half-drown people, I'm told that drawing water out of people's lungs feels kinda like syrup coated feather dusters on the inside..."

[oh-wowee.livejournal.com]

Toki hissed, "You's sure gots a bright outlooks on things."

But that didn't stop him from being as much dead weight as possible. He could swim, but the fact was that this was not a fun thing.

"Why you cares so much?"

[futures_of_ash]

"Not really" she admitted in a very dry tone as they got to the lake shore. "Not really."

He could be all the dead weight he wanted, she was keep right on dragging him into the shallows. "Right now?" she sighed, up to her waist "Toki, I worked very hard to start acting human again...and seeing someone I give a damn about covered in blood...worse, smelling, and wanting the blood? It's a little too much right now. I was either going to end up killing a lot of things...or end up licking you, which I'm sure isn't sanitary considering how old the blood is."

[oh-wowee.livejournal.com]

Toki huffed.
"Don't wants de blood. Wants to scares. Wants to... makes people not cares no more."

There was a little give in his words, a tiny soft spot in his mentality that gave in his resistance. He stood up and tugged away from her, batting her hand away. "Peoples dat cares dies. Peoples dat cares abouts me always dies. So if dey don't cares..."

He huffed and dropped down, sitting chest-deep in the Carribean outlet of the lake, letting the blood wash off, not caring about the spikes.

[futures_of_ash]

Rachel wasn't the type to just let matters go, so she followed him as he moved away, scooping up the cerulean waters to help rinse his hair. "Sometimes, Toki, I wish it was as simple as just being scary."

"People care anyway. Sometimes even when you're at their throat, their blood course along your fingers...they still care."

[oh-wowee.livejournal.com]

Toki pouted and tugged his legs up to his knees. "I can't hates de peoples dat cares abouts me... well, de fans don'ts counts, is like everyone dats ever loves me goes aways. Skwisgaar coulds be next! I don't wants him to goes!"

He shuddered out a sigh, trying to hold back from sounding entirely distraught.

"Why do peoples dat shows dey cares to me winds up dead? My parents lives, but anyones else in my childhood dies of de plagues! Rockzo cares, but he nearly dies of overdose in Rehab an' jail! At leasts you goings to go on your own terms, dats good, but dammit!!!" He splashed in the water, huffing.

"I HATES DIS."

It's all my fault.

[futures_of_ash]

"No, Toki" her voice was firm, and oddly ageless as her fingers stilled in his hair "It is not your fault."

Never.

"You're strong, in so many ways...strong enough to have survived every lose you've encountered. Yes, they've scarred you, but yet...here you are. And you've managed to be a beautiful person despite it. Never doubt that strength."

[oh-wowee.livejournal.com]

Toki pouted, looking miserable, almost like a drowned rat as the last of the blood came out of his hair.

"I don't doubts myself, I doubts peoples around me keepings alive when dey starts to gives a shit, okay? Is real lucky for Teja, dat guy's alreadys dead!"

He stood then, and wrapped his arms around Rachel, burying his head between them. "Sorry dat you gots to sees me like dis, is... not your fault, okays?"
