streetwalkers | TRAINWRECK AU MASTER POST

[He does make a token effort!

It earns him a burnt hand, which he yanks back, thus letting go of the door and -- oops. Yeah he saw that coming. And of course the door continues to increase in weight, and he can no longer make it budge.

The best option now he thinks is to just try not to sound like he's freaking out. Which he is of course because ew gross and impending painful death.]

God damn.

[ it takes shinji a good half second to unstick his feet from where they are, to try to help with the door. FUCK that's hot, he had no idea. instinctively retracting from it, he grits his teeth and tries to budge it using his shoulder, but it's just too hot and too heavy. ]

FUCK FUCK FUCK -- [ he tells his old man to go die frequently, but he never actually meant it. not like this. losing both of his parents this way wasn't supposed to happen. and it's so terrifying that he actually forgets that it's supposed to be a dream. ] NO, WAIT --

It's j-just a dream, idiot.

[If he just leans against the door and steadies his breathing he can remind himself that this is his dream and it only has to hurt as much as he's actually experienced pain. He's experienced this death a thousand times in dreams, and he knows he can't feel worse here than he can remember.

Thanks to Kirei that's only one step above having crest worms eat your nerves, but also thanks to Kirei he knows how not to scream.

It doesn't help the gross crying and other pain noises Shinji gets to hear though. Also gross worm squirming and slithering and crunchy sounds.]

[ it doesn't matter, because shinji still has to hear it. he yells until his voice is hoarse, hitting, kicking the door and recoiling each time he does. ]

THEN FUCKING WAKE UP, ALREADY -- [ wake up so he doesn't have to listen to this. ]

[It's hard to think straight when he hurts this much. Through the hyperventilating, he says the first thing that comes to mind.]

It's s-slow-- 'cause it's never enough to-- t-to make up for it...

D-DON'T SAY SHIT LIKE THAT! H-HELP ME OPEN THIS DOOR, I -- [ ugh, god. he's going to be sick he's going to be sick he's going to be sick ] D-don't...

[ the more intense and sickening the noises get, the more worn out and resigned shinji becomes. he drops to the ground, staring at the door with an unwavering sense of horror about him. sure, he had nightmares. they never felt this tangible, though. ]

[nnnope nope nope words are too hard thinking is too hard

he's just going to mentally and emotionally dissolve until it's over and he can wake up. This takes another good two minutes or so though.

Then he's awake, and not quite sure why he dreamed that Shinji was in his dream.]

[ when shinji wakes up, he's immediately on shaking legs and running -- to vomit. again and again until his face is pressed against tiled flooring while he tries to catch his breath. he can still hear the sounds -- the tearing and snapping prominently between his ears.

okay, get up.
wash your face.

time to go punch the old man. ]

[Byakuya is currently getting out of bed to try and walk off the nightmare. If he moves around, it helps remind him that he does in fact have an intact body. He's groggy though, thanks to all the booze he had before he went to sleep. He feels like shit, to be quite honest, but he's not going to puke. He just wants to take a walk around the house.]

[ having spent his life thus far trying to avoid that room and them, it was all just a little too much to handle at once. shinji would rather puke his guts out than toss and turn over nausea, which is what he mentally tells himself while he cups his hands under the sink and takes a drink of water, begging his gag reflex not to come back. he steps back out into the hall way, dragging his forearm across his mouth.

ah.
it's byakuya.

shinji's eyes widen a moment, before he scowls. ]

[He's telling himself that Shinji couldn't really have been there. It was just his imagination, so there's no reason to address what happened.

Obviously Shinji's just making that face because he always makes that face.]

...Hi.
