He just wanted shelter before his inevitable transformation so he didn’t have to deal with it out here. But, seems he isn’t so lucky. “I—I don’t want to bother you.”

"Oh, the lights were on," He would slip the knife behind him as he turned to look directly at the fellow climbing out his window, "So quick to make an exit when you enter huh?"

THEY WERE A DISGUSTING LITTLE THING— A FOUL LITTLE CREATURE UNDER THE HAND OF GOD.

Outside of an abandoned looking home (which ironically was very well lived in if he peaked in through a window), there’s nothing to really look into. Tomio’s body is gone completely, save for the pool of blood on the grass.

Lyku@cardtricks.bsky.social · 17h ago

[Lyku is used to all kinds of magic, but never anything like this. Magic involving death is taboo, and hardly discussed, even in shady circles. Whatever this was, it didn't feel natural. It wasn't an illusion. The blood was all too real. [+]

“Urk—.” Shit. He didn’t expect someone to be home. He was really hoping it was abandoned. “N—never mind. Sorry. I didn’t think someone lived here.” He’s quickly making his way out!

Very ironic, Esper was in the kitchen sorting out a few things singing to himself when he heard the other, coming to a careful stop. He would carefully pick up a knife off the counter as he turned around, "Hello?"

Tomio just let out a curt groan as a response. How unlucky he was to wind up being found when all he wanted to do was die. Eventually, Tomio would fade completely, leaving just the copious amounts of blood behind. If Lyku stayed, Tomio would make his return within a couple minutes…

Lyku@cardtricks.bsky.social · yesterday

[Again? What does that even mean?] Hey! Just explain what you mean, what- [He's probably not going to get any answers until Tomio comes back with how fast they seem to be fading away.]

“Haaa…. I tried telling you… I’m dying, again. So just leave me be.” He’s basically making himself comfortable again as he closed his eyes as if trying to sleep.

Lyku@cardtricks.bsky.social · 2d ago

[He glances at Tomio's face when he speaks before turning back to his phone. Then out of the corner of his eye, he notices Tomio's legs start to vanish.] What the- [He quickly backs up at the sight.]

I think you're just as pretty on the outside as you are on the inside... And I'm gonna find out!

“𝘿𝙤𝙣’𝙩.” God, please don’t involve others, he thinks— He’s starting to fade away at the feet, which is definitely a bit strange.

Lyku@cardtricks.bsky.social · 2d ago

[That only confused him. Why would he let someone die?] I'm not doing that! Just- Help will come, hold on! [Only taking one hand off of Tomio, he reaches for his phone to call an ambulance.]

“I wouldn’t want you too, anyways. I would feel guilty.”

"Aw... I'm sorry buddy. I didn't know. Unfortunately I have no ethical way to source you food."

Tomio usually is the one getting his house broken into due to it looking as though no one lived there… So the fact he’s now essentially doing the same to someone else is quite ironic. “…Hello?” He called out.

𝙀𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙧@esperofthewoods.bsky.social · 3d ago

"You want that good life We've got a shortcut So come inside and have a look" @witheringdatura.bsky.social

“The… The steaks are only slightly easier on my stomach. They still make me sick. Anything that isn’t human makes me sick…” He sounds like he wants nothing more than to crawl into a hole and die.

𝔸 𝔾𝕦𝕪 𝔽𝕣𝕠𝕞 ℚ𝕦𝕖𝕖𝕟𝕤!@webofspider-man.bsky.social · 3d ago

"Oooooooooo! Okay! Freaky looking alternative form but you were friendly! Sorry I made you sick with pizza one time..." Scratching the back of his head. "I make sure to keep a pack of steaks on hand. And I eat more steaks now besides."

Tomio just groaned out, mustering the strength to frown. “No, just let me die…” Was this intentional on Tomio’s behalf? Probably. The fact someone’s intervening is irritating.

Lyku@cardtricks.bsky.social · 3d ago

[Oh no they don't. Lyku gets down and presses his hands into Tomio's wounds to stop the bleeding.] Hey! Stay with me...

“Huh?” Tomio stared at him for a moment before his eyes widened slightly. “… Oh god.” He buried his face into his hands, ashamed. “That was me… That you fed… I’m not a human during the day time…”

𝔸 𝔾𝕦𝕪 𝔽𝕣𝕠𝕞 ℚ𝕦𝕖𝕖𝕟𝕤!@webofspider-man.bsky.social · 3d ago

"Hey I HAD to check!" He paused, thinking about a strange creature he'd befriended... One that always feasted on raw meat... "Do you have any info on similar but less sapient versions of your curse?"

“Urk—!” Tomio immediately sat up, frowning. “Of course I don’t do that…!! I’m cursed, but I still retain some of my humanity…!!”

𝔸 𝔾𝕦𝕪 𝔽𝕣𝕠𝕞 ℚ𝕦𝕖𝕖𝕟𝕤!@webofspider-man.bsky.social · 3d ago

"I mean, sorta ... There's a kinda vampire I had to deal with like that, once. So like, do you murder and eat people? Cause that means I have certain responsibilities here..."

“Fair enough… Though, I am a jikininki. Happy with the specifics now?”

𝔸 𝔾𝕦𝕪 𝔽𝕣𝕠𝕞 ℚ𝕦𝕖𝕖𝕟𝕤!@webofspider-man.bsky.social · 3d ago

"I mean, one's Nationality or ethnicity doesn't matter when it's a curse. A Dracula doesn't bite you and suddenly you're that cool haunted blood drinking African mask just cause your mom came from Ethiopia."

interaction bait….

“I’m Japanese, not Chinese.” he sighed. “But, you got me there. There is indeed a youkai for everything…”

𝔸 𝔾𝕦𝕪 𝔽𝕣𝕠𝕞 ℚ𝕦𝕖𝕖𝕟𝕤!@webofspider-man.bsky.social · 3d ago

"Yeah but like, isn't that more broad and Japanese? Which as another animist culture there's gotta be a yōkai for basically everything?"

“I guess so, yeah.” Thank god Tomio spoke Chinese or he would have no idea what a jiāngshī was. “Youkai, more specifically.” That isn’t specific…

𝔸 𝔾𝕦𝕪 𝔽𝕣𝕠𝕞 ℚ𝕦𝕖𝕖𝕟𝕤!@webofspider-man.bsky.social · 3d ago

"Ah. So are you some sort of jiāngshī? That might explain why you're firmly flopped on the ground..."

Tomio finally turned his head to look at him, a blank expression to his face. “Modern times sure are strange…” he mumbled. “I don’t think vigilantes existed when I was alive…”

"I'm the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Stress the'man' part but if you forget the hyphen ᴵ'ˡˡ ᵏⁿᵒʷ." The stick is forgotten and tossed away. "Think of me like a freelance first responder, in a really obnoxious costume and a personality to match."

“Wh—?” Oh. That was kind of cool. “What are you, some kind of spider youkai?” Ignoring the question, it seemed… 💧

𝔸 𝔾𝕦𝕪 𝔽𝕣𝕠𝕞 ℚ𝕦𝕖𝕖𝕟𝕤!@webofspider-man.bsky.social · 3d ago

THWIP. Web snagged! "Sweet. I need this for poking." Poke poke. "So what's up? You okay?"

Aaand he throws the stick to the side. “Go fetch.” he grumbled.

𝔸 𝔾𝕦𝕪 𝔽𝕣𝕠𝕞 ℚ𝕦𝕖𝕖𝕟𝕤!@webofspider-man.bsky.social · 3d ago

"Well good." ... "Can I have that back?"

He grabbed the stick and yanked on it—. “I’m still alive, you know.”

𝔸 𝔾𝕦𝕪 𝔽𝕣𝕠𝕞 ℚ𝕦𝕖𝕖𝕟𝕤!@webofspider-man.bsky.social · 3d ago

Poking with a stick.

Sprawled out on the ground…

There’s hardly a response from Tomio as he laid on the ground, basically bleeding out. “Mh…” He’s tired. So tired. Maybe he’ll just fall asleep right here.

Lyku@cardtricks.bsky.social · 3d ago

...Hey, you... Good? That's a lot of blood.

interaction bait….

Due to the rain, Tomio has predictably been inside all day.
