at night, everywhere || de noche, en todos lados
[Tonight, you might've been already asleep, comfortable in your own bed (or coffin - we don't judge). Or maybe you were staying up late, busy with various things or simply hanging out for a while. Either way, you'll now find yourself asleep, in a bed. A bed that might not be your own. It might be an abandoned bed in one of the many empty hotel rooms, varying in comfort levels, or even in a room at the Crimson Keep, if you're unlucky enough.

And of course, you'll have company. People will pair up in beds across the world, to wake up next to friends and strangers alike. A perfect way to start up a conversation, wouldn't you say? Which you'll have to do, as the world's magic won't let either of you leave the bed until you've at least chatted for a while. It's all about interactions here, and you can't just leave your bed companion to be bored during the time spent with you. It's simple manners, okay. And to help things along, you might find that bowls with snacks appear, ready to be shared by the two people in the bed. It's like your own mini pijama party of two.]

[[Bed ninja event! Pair up and be as awkward or as flirty as you'd like. || EN ESPAÑOL. ¡Post de camas! Emparéjense y sean tan awkward o flirty como quieran.]]

[Oh, c'mon, it could be a lot worse. They'll laugh about this later. Well, probably not.]

[Luckily, his nightmare is starting to get disturbing enough that his mind is trying to regain consciousness in an effort to protect him from The Horrors(tm) it has gratuitously concocted for him tonight. That, plus your hand on him, have him startling awake in no time. He opens his eyes, and registers two things at once: there's someone next to him who is not Eli, and he's pouring pain into their nerves.

The unknown person might be a source of danger, but his powers have probably neutralized them enough for a while, and caution calls for not revealing more than he may already have. So he turns off his powers, pain retreating into that deep place in his bones, and leaving your body completely.]

[Laugh yes for sure for sure no doubt....... :')

The pain indeed leaves him with a heavy exhale, his face half-pressed into the pillow from the strain, heaving as he fights to catch his breath again as his body settles. When he can lift his head to look at you, his expression is akin to a rabid animal about ready to gnaw at someone's neck.]

Are you done now? Was it enough?

[Keeps to some self-control beyond the words, the hissy rasp in his voice aside. Asshole.]

[He rubs his face with a hand, trying to clear his head from the last echoes of his nightmare-- the situation requires him to be as alert as possible. He turns to you when you speak, and is surprised to recognise you. He's sure he hasn't seen you around for a while, so he wouldn't have expected to find himelf in this scenario with you.]

... Why are you here? [He's not going to dignify that question with an answer. 8|]

	Oh, I don't know, a friendly midnight visit. Why do you think? [If we're answering questions without answers, he can play that game too. In the meantime, he drops his face down again with a sigh, taking his time to recoup energy again. Thanks very much.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Suddenly he very clearly remembers why you remind him of Eli. The caustic sarcasm, the barely repressed fury-- like a veil almost gone.] [Hm. He turns and raises a hand to the air surrounding his side of the bed, sensing quickly the invisible barrier there. He swears internally.] Is this the only different bed you have been into tonight?

[It doesn't help that Akechi's in one of those moods where last remnants of his polite facade here are really out the window. Returning home to Maruki's reality didn't help in that, where there's been little reason to hold back around Ren and the others either.]

It's the third. [He answers with a huff, finally letting his grip go.] The theme of the night, as it seems.

Wonderful. [He says, in a tone that conveys it's not wonderful at all.]

We should probably expect a procession of bed mates for the next hours, then. [He's already exhausted just thinking about that. He rubs his face again, trying to steel himself again. He knows he exposed his powers very clearly a minute ago, so he's preparing for the incoming questions and astute obervations from your part.]

So much for a good night's rest.

[The exasperation is mutual, on many levels. Only a few more moments pass and then Akechi shifts again, propping himself up and onto to his side, facing you with watchful eyes. And the thing is, he knows very well he is within his right to demand answers, but more than that, this only really confirmed prior suspicions he kept to himself until now. His approach here has to be smarter than that.]

Well. Seeing as I presume neither of us have the patience to beat around the bush, I'll get to it first.

I have a deal to propose.

[It's a night of revelations, then. Because such a cold and calculated reaction to his previous involuntary outburst only confirms his own suspicions about you. No one normal would be so calm after the pain he made you experience. Pain turns people into animals, instinctual and intense fear and anger surfacing before the need of survival. It requires a lot of self-control not to let those emotions take over-- a control he has honed since very young. And he knows he is far from normal.

He glances back at you, a considering look on his face, but otherwise his expression reveals very little. Ah, no more games, then. Honestly, he prefers it that way.]

Speak, then.

[Cards laid on the table, he meets that look with intent, somehow strangely comfortable in the act of unusual negotiations. There's a few reasons he's long beyond the point of what is indeed considered the "normal" person reaction to unnatural things, even outside of his time in the metaphysical world. Even from his own childhood as well, really, but that's trauma to unpack another day (never.)]

Call it terms for an exchange.

First, I'm willing to even the scales upfront. What I've surmised and clearly just had the pleasure of experiencing here [—d r y sarcasm still burning thank u—] with an equivalent offer about myself you can keep in turn.

It's simple: Either we never speak of it again after that- or, given whatever bullshit this place is bound to drop next, consider an arrangement. Some agreed upon mutual benefit for those instances... No holds barred.

[There's no question that he's confident in this bargaining chip. Not the first time he's pointed himself like a weapon, either, particularly with the obvious necessity in a place neither of them can control for all the power they may hold.]

[Unusual negotiations are often his prefered type of exchange too, but he's used to be the one leading them, not the one in the recieving end of the proposition. The lack of control irks him.

But he listens, anyway, his interest piqued in spite of it all. He's always been curious by nature, and hungry for knowledge-- the source of true power, if you ask him. And that's what you're offerring him, for starters, it seems.]

... How can I know it will really be equivalent? [His ability and the truth of it are... quite something. Usually unmatched, in his experience.]
