"Are you lost?" the rat asked the strange boy that was out in a field. No parents were seen, so they figured this boy either got lost or something. But what was a bit interesting what he was in a school uniform...

Maybe that's an unfair thought to have. As far as Sigma can tell, the kid hasn't done anything wrong, but in spite of that... Sigma can't shake the eerie unease in his stomach as they look up at him with that intense gaze.

But they're just a kid. ...Swallowing down his guilt, Sigma asks in a tone that's only slightly more gentle than usual-

"I'm... sorry. Did you need something from me?"

Of course Akutagawa would notice. He hated it, how the two had become so aware of eachother to be able to point out things like this. None of the kids had noticed, Mori and Elise hadn't noticed, hell - even Kyoka hadn't noticed. But Akutagawa did, and he wants to wring the other's neck for it

The air grows tense as he lets the fake smile drop, staring out over the fields that surrounded the orphanage. It was so bright and colorful since he was last here. Almost too bright. For someone such as him, who had crawled out of the darkness of hell itself - did he truly deserve to be in such a place? He lowered his head slightly so he wasn't blinded, a sigh escaping him.

"I need you to punch me." He says out of the blue as his hands clench into fists at his sides. He's shaking. "Or restrain me, or do something. I don't know what's wrong but--" He gasps for a moment before one hand is covering his neck and the other his mouth, his eyes flashing gold as if he was using his abilities. He didn't know what it was about today, but the Tiger within him had been so restless. It had been a month, maybe two, maybe even three - since he had last killed someone. Since he had let the tiger roam free. It felt as if he was keeping part of him within a cage, and today was the day it was going to bust out.

He didn't have his choker on him. Mori didn't like it when he wore it as he caused him physical pain. But that's the only avenue he knew to truly deal with the situation, hence his request to Akutagawa. He needed to feel some kind of pain, then maybe he could gain control of himself long enough to lock that beast up once more and figure out what to do about it later. But how long would this tactic work? How long until his next fit? Could he even stay here, knowing that these kinds of moments could happen?

"I-- I don't-- want to hurt the kids--"

"Yaaaay~!! Thank ya sooo much for helping me carry all these~!!" With one bag in hand and the rest being passed onto his (un)willing helper, he hums and spins and skips along. "Once we get back to my place, I'll totes pay you for aaaaall your help~!"

After all, he's soooo lucky to have found someone so willing to help him out with his little errands. It makes shopping so much more fun too, because he can't carry everything he wants to buy and it's boring to just have things sent to his place. He likes to look at his purchases!

Maybe messing around with his ability wasn’t the best idea Kawabata has had… but part of him can’t help but snicker at the sight of the man who had slipped on his ice and snow. A shame the man’s winter hat didn’t help- (have some cold weather Fyodor-)

It was cold out, Fyodor's LEAST favorite season coming around the corner. Winter. However, it wasn't snowing out, it was just a cold fall morning. He wasn't EXPECTING to slip and fall on some ice. He fell on his rump into some snow, which made him COLD and WET. He would catch a cold, he KNEW he would.

He could hear the FAINT snickers off in the distance.. Then he knew it was an ability user who did this.

"Oh I know someone did this-- why don't you come out and play? We could have a snow ball fight!" his voice rang out in a sing song as he got to his feet again.
