“You will be my errand boy if I please,” Niaz eyes blankly looked at Yuki. He turned over the boys words in his head, but then realized why should he have to work. He was attached to Yuki, and Yuki worked. “You work.” Not only had he seen Yuki go to work but it didn't look that hard to do what Yuki did. “You work and have money, so fetch me your money then take me to a place were I can get a disguise so that I can go to a place with information.” It seemed simple in Niaz mind. After a while he noticed that Yuki continuously found something humorous. His eyes turned a little red. “What do you find so amusing Ki? Is my ignorance that enjoyable?” His fist clenched into a tight ball but Niaz resisted lashing out against Yuki.

[Yokuutsu]

"That's funny. We apparently have different thoughts on that subject." Yuki glares at Niaz at that next part. "I have better things to spend my money on than an asshole that decided he should insert into the real world. Maybe he should've thought about that before he came here. And work doesn't mean you have money. I have bills I have to pay." He does have rent and bills to pay and they take up a big portion of his pay for the month. "People's ignorance is amusing at general. In your case...it's kind of cute....like a little kid's ignorance. Ignorant adults just annoy me." Yuki isn't completely stupid. He knows he does have some leverage even though it may not be much, but it's enough. He's testing the waters.

[Ludovico]

“I am not a donkey or a hole. What are bills and I am glad I could be a source of amusement boy.” He knew Yuki was right about escaping the dream world but Yuki also didn't seem to understand how lonely it was to be by yourself all the time. He'd much rather be in this world of noise and life. “Enough of this.” He said. If Yuki was not going to help him but lecture him he was going to help himself. Niaz paced back to Yuki's room and started to dig through his belongings. He tossed many of the scraps of fabric on to the floor only keeping a few in hand that look as though they could cover his body. He tried on one of the garments feeling its threads confined his figure. He felt like he couldn't breathe, until the fabric gave way and ripped. Petty, thought Niaz as he tried on another one with the same result. He had no problem trying on Yuki's clothing until he found something that fit especially since he had no money for a guise, no guise to get a job, and no job to get money.

[Yokuutsu]

"There are alternative meanings for that word now." Yuki says simply. "Bills are these things to pay so you can light inside the house and control the temperature and other things like that." And Yuki cannot deal with the hot summers. "Oh hell no!" Is all Yuki says when he realizes what Niaz is doing. He essentially throws Niaz out of the room, closing and locking the door. "You do not touch my things." They share one trait in common. "Especially my clothes because They. Will Not. FIT you." Yuki is very displeased right now, but he's rarely if ever violent. Those clothes cost money and he doesn't make a hell of a lot of it in his job either.

[Ludovico]

Surprised, Niaz stumbled out of the room. He had finally managed to find something that at least fit around his arms even it the fabric hugged his muscles. It was decent as long as he kept it unbuttoned. He snorted, which eventually crescendo into a laugh. Now that was funny. Niaz watched the door slam shut and heard a little click. Thin fingers reached out for the door knob twisting it but the door would not give way. Niaz stepped back, then rushed forward putting the bulk of his weight into his shoulder, however the door would not give way. He did manage to dent some of the wood. With a furious yowl, Niaz reared back and punched the door, splintering more of the wood and leaving a giant hole in it where one could see the under layer of the wood. He turned away, and headed towards the front door again fighting the pull and pain. It seemed to have gotten worse since Yuki was angry.. Niaz, however was determined to leave. Quietly he shut the front door behind him wheezing like a kid having an asthma attack. If Yuki did not have a guise he could use perhaps behind one of the other doors there would be one.


Down the hall Niaz saw a pair shiny metallic doors. The person behind those doors must have a lot of 'jobs' and money. Tiredly Niaz waddled towards the elevator, resting against the wall when he reached it. He noticed that the wall lit up with a small light. Instantly the doors swung open. Once inside he found an entire panel full of tiny wall lights. He hit the first one.
The sensation of being in an elevator was new. Niaz found himself stumbling and falling in the confined space, falling right out of existence leaving Yuki's shirt discarded in the elevator. He crashed on top of his tomb cracking the stone.

[Yokuutsu]

Yuki doesn't bother following him. He's a little pissed now, even more so when the damage to the door is done and he sees it. "And there went my security deposit MOTHER FUCKER!" Niaz better not come back any time soon if ever. Yuki will not be so...nice this time to say the least. He just goes and locks the door that Niaz went out of, cursing him in his mind and thinking of very violent things he could do to the other. He probably won't do it, but it makes him so happy to think about it.

Yuki does worry a bit, though he won't admit that out loud to anyone, when Niaz doesn't come back anytime soon, but he pushes that away. Niaz can take care of his own damn self. Eventually, he does just flop in his bed and disappears underneath the covers to go to sleep. Maybe he won't see Niaz this time.

[Ludovico]

Niaz at some point, rolled off his tomb uttering a small curse. The fall had done something to his shoulder, other then causing unsightly swelling and bruising. Niaz picked himself up, wondering what kind of device that moveable room was and what kind of magic made it work. Eventually he made his way to his harem room. He curled up on his favorite pillow clutching his shoulder and muttering the healing spell he knew, but it wasn't working. Nothing much was anymore. He drifted asleep still trying however didn't have the power to pull Yuki away from his normal dreams, so unless Yukis subconscious found him, Niaz would be by himself for a while.

[Yokuutsu]

Well, Yuki's subconscious does have a bit more compassion....or will act on it more...than Yuki actually would. And he's cursing loudly from the other room, with the tomb. He is obviously so very happy. And see that sarcasm dripping? Yuki ends up wandering into the harem room once he calms down a bit. He still isn't happy....but he does feel a twinge in his chest when he gets close enough to see the bruising. Though there is a small part of him that thinks Niaz got what he deserved. Without thinking, he steps close and places his palm an inch or two away from Niaz's skin, a thin aura flowing between his hand and Niaz which works on healing him. He has the feeling he's going to regret this later....even if the act feels natural and right.

[Ludovico]

At first it feels like Niaz is being burned. He hisses and bites his tongue to hold back a scream. In his reality he is not used to some one other then himself having powers. The longer he is touched, the more he starts to calm down a little as the sensation starts to feel soothing. His eyes flew open and he reached around, instantly grabbing Yuki's hand. Not hard or with anger. Niaz twisted himself so that he could see Yuki. For the first time since he had been with the boy he looked at him with genuinely terrified eyes.

Niaz moved away quickly resisting his natural urge to lash out at Yuki. He twisted the flesh on his shoulder so he could see what the boy had done to him. It looked like the bruise was gone except for one small insignia that appeared to be a snowflake. His eyes met Yuki's “What are you and how did you get here?” He couldn't help but be angry when he should have been grateful, it was the fear talking.

[Yokuutsu]

Yuki doesn't even notice the hissing. He's just a bit focused on something else....just a bit. He doesn't even know how he's doing it....but it doesn't feel weird or wrong. He has no clue why, but it doesn't. Niaz isn't the only once looking scared. Yuki didn't even know he could do that-in or out of dreams. "You know what?" He's getting annoyed now as Niaz gets angry. "Next time you can just be in pain." He just shakes his head before going and walking away back into the tomb area. "I'll just go in here until I wake up again." And he's not joking. He'll just sit in that room and stare into space until he finally wakes up. Yuki is mainly angry/annoyed because he helped Niaz. Niaz gets mad either way so...it's damned if you....damned if you don't.

[Ludovico]

Niaz didn't understand why Yuki was angry, It made him angier that the boy did not answer his question. Fine, he thought let him rot in the other room. Let him live his life that Niaz did not want to be apart of. He rubbed his shoulder. Pain was nothing new to Niaz but it seemed like it was to Yuki. Before he knew it the morning had come and Yuki was gone. Niaz did not want to interrupt Yuki's day with a second attempt at becoming mortal. In fact the next time Yuki fell asleep he did not even show himself.

By the 3rd night Niaz had meant to at least see Yuki but he had traveled deep with in recesses of his memory and found things he had long forgotten. He had fallen to easily once again into the pattern of loneliness that unmeasured amount of time slipped past him. Though this time every so often his shoulder would ache. It reminded him of Yuki, and the burn.

[Yokuutsu]

Well, either way, it works out for Yuki. He's able to sleep. He goes to work and classes like always, feeling a bit happier than before actually...until he starts thinking about Niaz. That just ruins his entire mood. Yuki is perfectly fine with Niaz not showing himself. He's still annoyed about various things including the way Niaz reacted and the security deposit that he'll probably lose. After awhile, Yuki starts venturing into other areas. There's only so much staring off into space he can do. He stops and stares at things he sees. Some strangely beautiful...and others....not so much.

[Ludovico]

Autmn had arrived by the time Niaz felt the need to return. His poor forest had begin to shed its self of its summer coats leaving trails of golden leaves around his garden. Like the seasons of his home land it would soon be the rainy season in side Yuki's dreams. Niaz curled a finger around his chin wondering just what Ki was up to. Searching around he realized he was in one of the places he least expected it, not really knowing that Ki had control of all of his dream.

It was a place he had visited around the 1930s when his bracelet bearer was an American, who got the genius idea to sell home made Alcohol. As he made his way towards Yuki, little electric lights lit up his path, and ghost from his past started to dance around him. A big band on stage counted down from three before whimsical jazz music floated around the room. “Hello Ki, I see you found Jin's Gin.”

[Yokuutsu]

Yuki is just following around the previous bearer, surprised that he can actually follow him since Niaz is doing whatever he's been doing lately. He has been worried a bit, but he has no clue what to do about it. "I see you haven't disappeared into oblivion or something like I thought." He is smiling a bit, believe it or not. He was worried and that worry is gone now. "Wasn't....prohibition around this time? Or am I thinking wrong decade?" He's walking around a bit...looking at things around like a little kid. It is new to him at least. He wasn't alive back then, obviously.

[Ludovico]

A shrug escaped Niaz's shoulders. Prohibition was a word unfamiliar to him but if it mean that Alcohol was illegal then yes. “I believe so..” he said unsure of himself and then chuckled. Why would the boy ask that? He wondered. Niaz bit back a sarcastic and angry remark determined to keep things light. “No it would take a lot for me to disappear into Oblivion, it is not some place I want to go.” He found himself a chair near the bar and let himself be served by a floozy. He didn't recall her name and her face was a blank slate that randomly let out a charming feminine laugh. “Yes I believe the Americans were experiencing a crisis, and had outlawed liquor, So Jin thought it lucrative to make it bottle it and sold it.” He took a sip of his drink. It tasted the way he remembered. “How did you find your way here Ki?”

[Yokuutsu]

Yuki randomly sticks his tongue out at Niaz. "Stop laughing at me. You'd have a better chance knowing the decade than me." Since Niaz actually saw this instead of Yuki's only hearing about it. "It wasn't just Americans....it was the entire world. The Great Depression....and people are afraid we're entering another one nowadays..." He looks back at Niaz since he was looking at things due to curiousity. "Mmm....just kinda wandered to here." He shrugs. "Staring at the floor or into space while I was here...it was getting a bit boring to say the least....and what're you drinking?" Yuki isn't a drinker so he has no clue what it is.
