[The gloomy atmosphere is actually kind of nice. It's a little unnerving, as he doesn't know what to expect on days like this. And really, he should have been better prepared when his fingers started turning an inky black. He tries to write it off at first. Maybe he got his hands on something while cleaning or sorting through boxes at the store.

But as the day progresses, the black spreads, like a shadow crawling over him, though he still feels solid. He takes to shoving his hands in his pockets as often as he can manage, though he can't resist checking every so often and trying not to panic when the black edges under the sleeves of his jacket.]

[ If he hadn't had such a rough awakening this morning Spike would've loved the atmosphere in the prison today. Unfortunately he's not that lucky and Nico can probably tell that he's just barely holding it together when he approaches, frazzled and frantic, single purpose the only thing keeping him somewhat focused. ]

Have you seen Jack?

[That is not a good look, Spike. It's worrying. Nico tucks his hands in his pockets as he shakes his head.]

No. Sorry. Need help looking?

No... no, I got it. [ He doesn't have it. Although, now that he thinks about it. ]

You can... sense souls, can't you? Is he still around?

If you say so. [He's not going to press.]

I can sense death. Living things are more complicated.

[And though he knew instinctively which souls belonged to who when they passed, Jack's deaths were unique. Like bungie jumping - a long fall and a recoil that left him feeling a bit sick afterward. What he couldn't feel were people disappearing from the dome. That wasn't death - that was simply being gone.

But he looks over Spike, who doesn't have it, and sighs.]


But I can try.

Whatever you got.

[ He's tensing, searching blindly here. No body, just a lot of blood and no Jack to be found. No memory of what happened either. Right now finding him is more about clearing up the mystery than patching anything up, there's not a doubt in his mind that he screwed this up irredeemably. ]

[It's disconcerting to see Spike like this. He breathes in, steels himself, vividly aware of the black spreading up his arms. But threats to his own well-being always took a backseat when his friends or family (or the general population, whatever) needed him.]

Okay.

[He closes his eyes and flings his senses in every direction. It's a lot harder to pick up on lifeforces that aren't in peril. Even harder to find one specific lifeforce among all the rest. Sweat breaks out across his brow and he swears he can feel the black creeping swiftly up his arms and across his shoulders. He pulls back with a small gasp and a shake of his head.]

Sorry. I can't...

[ As wrapped up as he is in his own drama, he's still an observant kind of guy and there's no denying what kind of strain this is putting on Nico. He can set Jack aside for a moment. ]

Are you alright?

Huh?

[He wipes a hand across his forehead and makes a face at how damp it is. His hands look like he's wearing gloves, and he winces at that as well, shoves them back in his pockets. A few blinks to orient himself.]

Yeah. Sure. I'm fine.

You sure? You don't look fine.

[ C'mon man don't be difficult, he's already so stressed out today. ]

[He scowls at that. But, fine.]

My powers take a lot out of me. It's normal. But-

[He tugs a shadow-darkened hand out of his pocket and waves it around.]

This is not normal. It started this morning, and it's spreading, and to be honest, it's freaking me out.

[ Well. Wasn't sure what he was expecting but it sure wasn't that. ] Bloody hell.. anything like that happen before?

Not like this, no. Usually it's more like, gradually disappearing. But I've hardly used my powers today, and I'm not even tired!

[The worst part is not knowing what this is. He knew what it meant when he was drop-dead tired, or when his fingers started going transparent. He hated it - it was frightening, but he knew what it was. This? He does know what to make of it or how to stop it.]

Something isn't right. [ Between this and Jack- something's up. If it was just him he'd chalk it down to him being a literal fucking monster but this seems unrelated yet somehow incredibly relevant. ]

You notice anything else today?

No shit. [More of a mutter, but he wasn't trying to be quiet either.]

Not really... Well. D- Ton said he couldn't find Chuck. He seemed pretty worried. That was weird, I guess. I doubt she would avoid him on purpose.

[ Ah, people he hardly knows. That gives him permission to not really care, right? ]

You sure she's not gone?

Of course she's not. [It comes out more forcefully than he'd intended, but he refuses to accept that it could even be a possibility.] Something strange is happening, like you said. That's all.

Strange or not, I'd still like to know if I bloody killed someone in my sleep.

[ Because if he did, that's bad news for everyone. ]

[That would be bad, yeah. But...]

I didn't feel anyone die.

[Granted, he doesn't always feel it. But there aren't many people here, and he's met most of them by now. And violent deaths are hard to miss. Unless Spike gently rocked someone to death, Nico is pretty sure he would have felt something.]

Jack's different, isn't he? Would you notice him?

[ It's... something. This whole thing is weird and considering the sheer amount of blood he woke up in it had to have been something spectacular. ]

I always notice when Jack dies. He's a bit reckless with his whole immortality thing. And it feels different. But...

[But today is a weird day. Maybe his powers aren't working the way they should.]

But we can't trust anything today, can we? [ Hnngh. ] ...Thanks for trying. I'll keep looking.

Thanks. [ He likes you Nico, you're a good kid. ] I should get going.

[ Before he eats someone else. ]

[ Misery loves company, doesn't it? John is followed by his own sort: ghosts. Particularly a large group that are literally following him. He is doing his best to ignore them as he smokes, but he is keenly aware of the dead. They're just waiting until they can open their mouths and start jarring him for everything he's ever done wrong. How he's gotten them killed.

When that is something he already knows. ]

[You don't see that everyday. You don't see that at all around here. He forgets about his hands for the moment and approaches John with a questioning look at the ghosts hovering around him. There sure are a lot of them.]

You're carrying a lot of baggage today, huh?

Oh, mate. These bastards are always here. Even if you don't see them.

[ One of the ghosts whirls their head around to John with a snarl on his face. ]

Hush up, you. I'm a bit busy. [ He turns his attention back to Nico. ] Can't say that I was expecting it when I woke up this morning.

I can usually see ghosts. Comes with the whole death power thing.

[He squints at the ghostly company, more curious than anything.]

Are they harmless?

[info]hellblazings

Oh, well. This shouldn't be any surprise at all.

[ Maybe just the amount of them. ]

Of course. Unless you're talking the emotional blackmailing bit.

[info]nico_di_angelo

Normally, no. It wouldn't. I don't usually see any around here, is all.

[There was a serious lack of spirits when no one could really die.]

The only reason you'd have so many following you around is either they all love and want to protect you, or they don't. What did you do to piss them off?
