W-wait, where do you think you're going?!

[DON'T LEAVE HIM ALONE WITH IT

he's too scared to leave the safety of the bed (and also, still has a broken leg) but he'll bravely scoot over to the edge of it again, one hand reaching out as if he might somehow be able to grab Kimihiro from across the room. truly, these are desperate times...]

Fine, whatever, I'll do what you say! Just... just don't leave me with this thing! You have to tell me how to get rid of it!

[don't make him say please this is already such a traumatic experience]

[kimihiros]

(ugh FINE. he takes the hose once again, but instead of circling around the other's room, he just sits on the bed to be closer to the other.

the vacuum, finally, starts to calm down. it no longer produces a thundering noise nor does it dance in anger and frustration in order to get attention. when kimihiro feels that it's okay, he simply turns off the device.)

It will follow you, I believe. All you have to do is remember to use it, or else it will keep on pranking you like this. It just wants attention.

[psychokinesia]

[For a moment he thinks he's being betrayed again, leaning as far away as he physically can from the dreaded Cursed Vacuum when Kimihiro decides to just sit next to him... but he is trying to have the tiniest bit of faith in this stranger, and sure enough, the haunted machine seems to calm down to something almost normal...

But he still doesn't trust it. He'll stay at the opposite end of the bed for now, thanks.]

Yeah, sure, attention. I can do that. [oh yeah, he'll give it attention. he's not taking his eyes off this fucking thing ever again.] It's not... I mean, whatever was making it do that, it's gone now, right? So that shouldn't happen again anyway.

[kimihiros]

No, that's not how it works.

(right when add seemed to have calmed down... but kimihiro prefers to just rip the bandaid and tell him the truth rather than to just have him believe it won't happen again - it would be his fault if it did, would it not?)

It's there forever now, all you can do is use it and console it if it feels neglected.

[psychokinesia]

What the hell? I thought you knew how to fix it! [IT'S CURSED FOREVER?? THIS IS NOT OKAY?]

If it's going to do that again I'll dismantle it, burn it and dump it in the ocean! What kind of shitty fucking solution is "console it if it feels neglected"?!

[kimihiros]

It's not broken, you idiot.

(his patience is wearing so thin, so so so thin. he rubs his temples, sighing as he stands up.)

It's a spirit. It may possess other things. Are you dismantling everything you own?

[psychokinesia]

It can possess other things?!

[was it possible for Add to lean away any further? yes, apparently. forget taking his eyes off it, he can't even risk touching that thing now.]

S-stop joking around! Seriously, like I'm gonna fall for such a stupid prank... it's obviously just some kind of spell, and magic can't move around like that. I know that much! Talking about spirits and nonsense like possessing things— tch, if it's some kind of contagious curse then there should still be some way to remove it. Just because it's magic doesn't mean I can't solve it with logic. If you don't know how to remove it, just say you don't know how to remove it and leave the weird spirit talk out of it! I'll fix it myself!

[he's definitely not getting defensive what are you talking about]

[kimihiros]

I'm not.

(oh everything holy in the world, save kimihiro from this idiot. add talks and kimihiro grows each time more incredulous like he can't believe that he's contesting precisely what he is seeing with his own two strangely shaped eyes.

it rids him of his patience, and he's ready to get moving now, thank you very much.)

Good luck with that. I'm leaving.
