Posted: May 21st
From: Kiryuu Zero
Location: Temple of Hades

[ The video turns on showing Zero in a dark room inside his temple. A quiet look falls across his eyes as he faces the camera. He's not one to speak to people let alone about himself but after his encounter with Sheryl, he has no choice. He knows what happened even if he can't remember it. He lost control. ]

My name is Zero Kiryuu and I was here before as a shinki.

[ A pause as he squares his shoulders to face his crimes.  ]

I need to know if I killed someone.

They took my memories when I was brought back as a god but that doesn't erase my crimes. I need to know what happened. What I did.

I won't let this go.


[ OOC: He doesn't know he died, he simply assumes his loss of memories is due to the whole turning a shinki into a god deal. Some kind soul, please spring that up on him. Also, for any future in-action meet ups Zero will mysteriously have some pomegranate fruit/seeds on him at all times. If you eat them you'll be sentenced (only if you want!) to stay one night at his temple before the seeds effects let them escape! ]

[ So they were right-- the people that told him about the other person that looked exactly like him. The appearance was uncanny and anyone who didn't know him or the other person would mistaken them. There was absolutely nothing about the other that was too different from his own, aside the the build of their frame, and the style of their hair. Their faces were carbon copies of each other.

So, he could ask him everything and get answers. Then perhaps maybe, he'll get the answer he wants and needs-- something.

He's staring at the device for a long time before carefully putting his fingers on the device and quietly typing. ]

text; because who would be that dumb to give away their identity. :P

[forsakens]

I heard you assaulted a handful of people.

Quite an entrance. I do need to speak to you in person. Where will you be?

[ Cryptic as fuck yes, why yes he is. ]

[ He has so many questions right now. Zero. While that face isn't that familiar to him, the name certainly is. He'd heard it twice and both times, it never came with a pleasant feeling. ]

Can't tell you if you killed anyone
But I can say its a wonder you're back
Caused quite a bit of trouble you did

[ His eyes fall to the name before reading the message. ]

......

[ For a moment a flash of guilt crosses his eyes before he pushes past it and asks what they both know is coming. ]

What.
Did I do?

[shockshot]

I met one of the people that was attacked by a vampire, I think? I don't know if it was you though.I'll let him speak for himself, if that's what he wants.

I don't know anything about deaths or other injuries. Sorry.

[Hoo boy. This is going to be nasty.]

text;

[moonlitknight]

It was.
Most likely.

[ He can't exactly remember. But he'll respect that line of reasoning. He won't force anyone to come forward if they don't want too. ]

What happened.
When the vampire attacked?

[There's a bit of hesitation on Izumo's part, briefly wondering at first if this was Ichiru but then there's that question and it clicks.

Anger is a quick reaction, but he stomps it down for now.]

What good would it do for you to remember what you've done?

[moonlitknight]

Ignorance isn't something I'm willing to choose.
No matter the outcome, I need to know.
What I did. Who I hurt.
I need to know.

Zero... it's really you, isn't it?

[ I need to know if I killed someone.

What a chilling thought, to be brought back to life with the notion that one may have killed another. She couldn't even imagine what he must be going through. ] Did they take all your memories? Do you remember being a shinki?

[moonlitknight]

......

[ Another he doesn't recognize. He's quiet for a moment, his eyes straying to her. The green hair, eyes... why... why can't he remember any of it?! ]

.... I remember. Being a shinki. A feeling of-- [ He shakes his head. ]

I'm sorry.

[redstray]

Remembering your crimes won't make them forgivable.

Voice

[moonlitknight]

I'm not looking for forgiveness.

Voice; Private

[candyconsumption]

[ ...Gods. Where does he even begin? He doesn't remember. He doesn't remember anything. Which means... ]

[ The flash of Zero biting him quickly replays--but soon it's overshadowed by all the small, good things. The falling asleep with him under cherry blossoms, he return of a small kitten, the cellphone hunting and back-and-forthing with a strange doll... ]

[ There is an audible, deep breath on the other end of the line. ]

It is... very responsible of you, Zero-san, to wish to know of what you did during your time as a shinki. Most people might have run away from such a thing and blamed it on the fact that they couldn't remember.

...I'm glad.

Voice; Private

[moonlitknight]

[ A hint of air is all that filters through. There's someone there, but he won't push so he waits until-- ]

.....

[ They spoke as if they knew him. Knew what he'd done, then-- ]

Glad for what?

You came to my lady's temple, a starved and crazed man. Out of the kindness of her heart she offered her blood to you in hopes of bringing you back from your insanity, but then you feasted on her and nearly drained her dry. You almost killed her, and you would have killed her if I had not intervened.

Then, you came for her a second time as an ayakashi.

[He won't mention that it was Sanae that put him down; that's for her to say, not him. He won't talk about the tears, the guilt and hurt that had plagued Sanae, a guilt and hurt that came from having to kill her friend.

He's not here to multiply the man's guilt. But he wants Zero to know what he did so that this whole disaster will never be repeated again.]

My lady says that you lost your mind because of what you are, and that had you been of sound mind you would never have attacked her. Regardless of your intentions I must ask that you stay away from her until you find a lasting solution to your thirst for blood, less you fall to your impulses again.

[ His throat tightens as he stares down at the words recounting his crimes. How far had he fallen that he'd take blood from an innocent.

A human.

His eyes begin to glisten but no tears fall. He swallows back the guilt, the self-deprecation, everything before it threatens to overwhelm him and swallow him whole. Now wasn't the time for them.

Later.

But not now. Now he had to face what he did. ]

[blizzardrock]

[He thought he'd died until he woke up, does that count?]

Who are you?

[He posts that first, and then a follow-up—]

What do you mean by "brought back as a god"?

[moonlitknight]

[ ....... omfg ]

....

[ Normally he'd ignore a message like this but these aren't normal circumstances so he'll answer the question. ]

I was here before, as a shinki.

[vindicavi]

[ ...I was brought back as a god but that doesn't erase my crimes. So is that why he was made a god, then? Because he's a criminal and this is all some sort of 'community service' plan?

But Zero wants to know what he did. Alright, fine. ]

You damn near killed me.

text;

[moonlitknight]

[ Way to lay it on slow.

His mouth tightens as he reads those words, the guilt and self-deprecation instantly biting at his heels as the Hunter takes a moment to take that in before replying. ]

Did I take your blood?

[ A single question that weighed more heavily on his shoulders than anything else. ]

[explodokill]

you act like a feral animal and get turned into a god. what a fucking time to be alive.
i beat you once, i'll beat a damn apology out of you next time.

[moonlitknight]

[ His sentiments exactly. ]

Go ahead.

[ If that's what you want, he won't stop you. He deserves it, at minimum. ]

[reformedsinner]

It certainly seems like you've attacked a few, if what I see on here is any guide.

May I ask what made you think you might have?

[moonlitknight]

Losing my memories of it doesn't mean others have. I ran into someone I attacked.

[cleanmemory]

[ Oh. He's... back. Zero... ]

[ There's a look of confusion on his face, but-- ]

You... came back? [ A sigh. ]

...Thank goodness.

Video; /denies entry

[moonlitknight]

[ There's a long look as the Hunter looks him over but no memories stir. He doesn't remember him. ]

How long.

How long was I gone?

[very_goodman]

If you killed someone?

[Barry doesn't know this guy's name, but he does remember a concerning rash of attacks a few weeks ago that they never found the culprit of.]

You the guy who attacked my goddesses?

[He asks, as if he hasn't just been told that Zero can't remember.]

[moonlitknight]

I don't know.

[ That's about as simply as he can put it because at the moment, he's still trying to figure out if he killed someone or not. ]

Who is your goddess?
