[SM] Rainy path

Jan: *after dinner searches the hallway for a free looking white side kid*

Winter: *avoided dinner due to lack of appetite. He wanders around the church trying to get back to his dormitory*

Jan: *spotted a fitting target* Evening. Are you free right now? *asked seriously, with no trace of smile on face*

Winter: *stares at the cumimi who spoke to him so seriously with a poker face. Winter wanted to go back to his dorm and rest* Um...yes, i guess. But I'm going back to my dormitory room right now.

Jan: Does that make you not free to head down-stairs and to the church by the house to soulmatch a gray soul? *he asks again*

Winter: *grimaces but admires Jan's straightforwardness.* "W-well, I..." *in Winter's mind: soulmatch=abilities=rank up=white side wins=hospital!!!* "I take back my words. I am free to soulmatch..."

Jan: *nods lightly satisfied with the answer and walks up to the wardrobe on the first floor to take out raincoats and boots*

Winter: *hurries along after Jan. Winter was, apparently, rather happy with himself that his decision might somehow lead to more "human" hospitals. He was smiling a little, something that Winter had not done ever since his foster parent fell ill. He put on his raincoat and boots hurriedly, making sure he didn't wear the boots on the wrong foot. When he finished, Jan seemed to be done and waiting for him.*

Jan: *seeing that the other kid had dressed as well, Jan opened the doors leading outside - the rain was softly falling down and there seemed to be no wind. Jan pulled a cape over his head and went outside, waiting for the other kid to follow* I'm Jan, you?

Winter: *pulled his hood over his head when he saw the rain shower. He followed Jan out of the church and closed the door behind, leaving only a tiny gap.* My name? It's Winner, wait no, I meant Winter. *Winter went red in the face at his mistake. Please let me jump into a volcano...*

Jan: *had a straight face and simply ignored the mess-up. He hadn't teased anyone or been teased to know that this was a chance to do so, if anything - mess ups were bad, yet in this case it wasn't all that relevant. Seeing other become red troubled him a bit, though, he wasn't sure if a sick person could do a soulmatch* Winter, are you feverish?  

Winter: E-eh?! N-no, I'm perfectly well, yes..uh yes. Correct. Definite. *repeated himself several times. Winter wasn't sick, right? He felt his forehead. Just the rain, and my embarrassing mistake...* S-so, Jan, what do we do now..?

Jan: I see. *he turned away to face forward, he had no reason to suspect other was lying. A bit further ahead, by the house, there was a small church with white walls and dark colored doors.* We go in. *he said and pushed the doors open. Inside was dark, but as soon as they entered a couple of hidden lamps lit up casting faint light. There is a small chapel further in front and two rows of solid wooden seats lead to it. Jan took off his rain-coat and hanged it by the doors.*  

Winter: *looked at the small church, surprised there were more buildings beyond the main house. He made a note to himself to get out of his dorm more. He entered the church after Jan and followed his actions, taking off his wet raincoat. Winter couldn't help straying away a little and started walking towards the rows of seats. He looked around in awe and then realized he forgot about Jan and their purpose for being here. He walked back to Jan.* ...This place is nice...So...What are we doing here..?

Jan: We go down, *he said and walked around the chapel. There were another doors, Jan pulled them open and headed down a spiral stair-case. There was a wide room in the basement - on three walls of the room were round lids - white on right and left, brown on the one in front.*

Priest: *was standing nearby the stairs and filling out a document, when the kids came he cast a glance in their direction, put down the document and headed over to one of the white lids. He pulled it out - a corpse was laying on a long metal table.* Touch it at the same time.

Winter: *followed Jan's simple instructions. As he walked down the stairs, he felt the temperature dropping. Maybe it was just him. Reaching the bottom, he noticed the Priest, Redmill, writing on some paper. He looked around at the weird room, getting an odd feeling. The priest walked towards the lid and pulled out...a corpse?! Winter stared at it, feeling uncomfortable. He was reluctant to touch it, but he knew he needed to soulmatch in order to grow stronger. He looked at Jan, who seemed to be without hesitation. He walked up towards the corpse and watched Jan, making sure they touched it at the same time.*

Jan: *felt indifferent towards the corpse and touched it at the same time as Winter and the next time he blinked the scene changed. Finding himself near the cottage he walked around a bit and checked the surroundings, then went in the house. Spotting a dying human he sighed and turned around to walk away, he had no time to bother with humans. The scene dissolved and he returned back to the room.*

Winter: *felt himself land in a different scene, standing in tall grass. He looked around at the soulmatch scene. Spotting a cottage, he walked quickly through the grass towards the door, and entered the cottage. He smelled blood, and quickly hurried towards the injured human. The man seemed unconscious, occasionally murmuring words. Winter looked at the wound, feeling oozy, but quickly ran around the house looking for something to fix him. He heard that applying on a wound might stop bleeding, so he grabbed a nearby towel near an easel and pressed it onto the wound. Unfortunately, Winter had no more knowledge of first aid, and was panicking when the scene dissolved and he returned back to the morgue. Unsure of what he did wrong or right, he looked at the priest and Jan. He hoped the soul was dyed the way he wanted it to be.*

Jan: *the soulmatch was physically tolling and as soon as Jan let go of the corpse he felt a bit dizzy so he quickly held on the corner of the lid not to fall*

Priest: Good work, you are free to go. *he said and continued writing in the document*

Winter: *felt drained after the encounter with the gray, and he saw that Jan was also holding a lid for balance. He walked over to Jan and looked at him, concerned* U-um Jan, are you feeling alright? *looked back at the priest, who seemed aloof* U-um sir! T-thank you... for your time...

Jan: *glanced at Winter, then looked away* It's nothing. Just fatigue. *let go of the lid and started walking to the stairs, using sheer willpower to move normally and not drag his feet*  

Priest: *raised his eyes from the document* Same to you, Winter. It's best if you head to sleep now. *he said and turned back to the paper*

Winter: *looks at Jan uncertainly, he seemed a little wobbly. Winter nodded/bowed a little at the priest, and then followed Jan out of the basement. He headed up the staircase, and then went and put on his raincoat.*

Jan: *puts on his raincoat and heads to the house, without wasting any time. He only wishes to fall in his bed and sleep, the faster he can do it, the better.*

Winter: *follows Jan back on the way because he did not know the route. After they were back in the house and dropped off their raincoats, they started walking down their halls to their respective dorms* "T-Thanks for the Soulmatch, Jan! U-uh...Good Night!" *Winter shouted 'cross the hall, and then entered his dorm*

Jan:*being too tired to shout, he simply raises his hand and waves it like saying 'don't mention it' and disappears behind doors*
