Thirty-Ninth Reap → Action
[Ragna had already returned from the dead a few days ago, opting to drag himself to the village by himself (the whole self-inflicted seclusion thing) and not trouble anyone else. He didn't want to do anything with anyone else. Not after what he remembered doing, being forced to watch as his body acted on its own, nearly killing multiple people and causing so many injuries. He nearly killed Noel, for fuck's sake. The last thing Ragna wanted was to ask for help over the journals.
Especially not in a moment of weakness. There was already someone who attempted on Noel's life after the entire Kusanagi incident last year, so the last thing Ragna needed was some jackass trying to do the same. He can't defend himself. Not with the Azure mysteriously missing. His arm wasn't working, and he could barely see out of his right eye. It was entirely gone, and it was a godsend after what happened. But he was in no shape to fight again. Not that he wanted to, anyway. He just felt all around awful about it. For once, he didn't want to fight his way through his problems.
But more like himself, he didn't want to see anyone at all. Especially Noel. He felt like he was back on his own for the first time in two years.
When he managed to make it back to his house, noticing that it was kind of... messed up, he decided to go elsewhere. There was no need to put himself in a position of being found by others easily. Ragna needed time to himself, away from the people he knew. Sure, he had to answer for what happened eventually but... no, not now. So he holed himself up in whatever free room he could find elsewhere while shit blew over, and made sure that he wouldn't be seen by anyone. Just keeping to himself.]
[Today? Ragna needs to go outside. Apparently there was some draft and some other crap that went down while he was dead, and he didn't really care about any of that. Long as no one bothered him in his angsting over what he did, then he was fine with the village being on fire for all he cared. The only things on his agenda was getting around the dame village as quietly as possible, and doing two things.
1) Getting to a few of the stores to grab supplies and, hopefully, getting back out without anyone noticing or questioning him.
2) Scouting out places he could stay if he needed to relocate from his temporary residence after returning from the dead. Plus, he wanted to check out some of the damage done to the village while he was gone.
Ragna took precautions after situations that could put himself in danger, and after Nox attacked Noel last year, he knew it was possible that he could be jumped for whatever he did as the Black Beast. Maybe the village being in disorder would help him keep his cover, or maybe it would make it worse. Either way, he had to do those two things while trying to be sneaky. And not having the use of his right arm and eye made it really difficult to navigate well.
He just hoped that if he ran into anyone while doing those two things, it wasn't someone he attacked.]

Dammit.] You're...
no subject
[...]
Do you-- do you remember anything...? [He's going on a hunch, but he's sure you remember SOMETHING.]
no subject
It just makes him feel powerless.] ... Everything.
no subject
I would've preferred if you didn't have to find out about... him that way. I know you two got along decently enough. Mostly through threats, but...
[Look at him talking about the Hulk as if they're two different people! ...well they technically are but shhhh.]
no subject
That's all you care about?
no subject
How have you been holding up? Since... what happened. [He's not really thinking about the fact that you attacked him or anything. You just died, Ragna. What you went through was way worse than what he had to endure.]
no subject
... What the hell is wrong with you?
no subject
...what do you mean?
no subject
no subject
[As in you probably have a Death Penalty by now.]
no subject
So what!? You saw what I did to you and everyone else!
no subject
[See Ragna? It's not your fault man.]
no subject
Are you serious!?
no subject
...
Listen, I know how you feel. But blaming yourself isn't going to fix anything. You just have to learn how to control it.
no subject
There's nothing to control! Don't talk like you know what the hell happened!
no subject
Look, I know it seems impossible right now, but you CAN control it. Or at least try to guide it so you don't hurt anyone. Let me help you, I can show you how.
no subject
[Yeah. Something he didn't want to blurt out to a stranger, especially in a public area, but he did. He was just so incredulous from this guy's behavior over the matter that it just came out.]
no subject
Did they... [...] Was that your Death Penalty? Did you lose it? [Whatever that was.]
no subject
This guy was a stranger -- a strange he messed up and nearly caused to mess up other people. Goddammit. Don't let his quick temper get the best of him.] Yeah, but keep quiet about it, alright?
no subject
[...]
But, what are you planning to do now?
no subject
no subject
In any case, take care, okay? If you need anything, my name is Robert Bruce Banner. You should be able to find me on the journals easily enough with that.
no subject
I'll keep that in mind.
no subject
[Well this has been a pleasant convo!]
...uh. In any case. I suppose I'll leave you to your shopping now.
no subject
That's a good idea. [...] Bye.
