You guys ever have one of those weeks? Where Murphy's Law becomes godly and everything that can go wrong does. And HOW.

Which might be part of the reason he's half-asleep on the table, one arm hanging off the table and the other one being used to bury his face into. And even without that, it's easy enough to notice it looks like he hasn't slept in... well, a week. But it seems more like a physical inability to rest rather than any conscious effort on his part.

Of course, anyone with the eyes for it could notice that he's supporting another soul on top of his own, which probably isn't helping in the least. But it probably answers why he's been missing for a week. Or seems completely inclined not to move from his spot half-sprawled on said table. Or why all of the demons have given up on moving him from there.

Maybe you'd have better luck?

[Aware you're there, yes, but no movements or spoken words to support this. What is it with you people constantly breaking in here fffff-]

Orpheus!

[Moves over next to him and puts a hand on his shoulder. Gently.]

What's wrong?

[clockstopped]

[A short jerk of his shoulder. An attempt to shrug him off, but lacking the energy to follow the action through.]

...o away...

[Not in the mood for this just leave me alone sahhh]

[demoncompkid.livejournal.com]

[Just sits at the table across from you. And staaaaaaaares.]

No.

[clockstopped]

[Ugh fine, actually sitting up now. 'Sitting up' being only able to force himself up a few inches. One eye closed in a wince before switching back to staring up at him flatly.]

What do you want?

[demoncompkid.livejournal.com]

Tell me how I can help. "You can't" is not a valid answer.

[Even if it's just bringing you pillows and a blanket or some food or something.]

[clockstopped]

I don't need anything.

[Then right back to headdesking on the table. Somewhere between not having the energy to sit up and just too apathetic to keep up the conversation.]

[demoncompkid.livejournal.com]

[Sigh. Obvious lie, Orpheus.]

What happened?

[clockstopped]

He's hosting my soul.

[That's... odd. Did Orpheus always speak in that kind of manner? The only clue that Michi can have is that, if he was looking, Orpheus' eyes turned a shade of blue before returning back to that shade of gray that Minato's hold.]

[demoncompkid.livejournal.com]

[He just stares for a moment, before facepalming.]

You're under enough strain, and you decided to do that? You idiot...

[Though there's not really any scorn in it.. 'cause he would have done the same thing for one of his own friends.]

How long will it be until you can find another body? At least a temporary one?

[clockstopped]

[Flash of glowing blue again, mentally swatting at Miwako. Give more warning next time. Not that like that changes how he still hasn't moved from his spot lying down.]

I have my student looking into it.

[Note how that doesn't answer the question at all while still being an answer. Sorry Michi, S-link isn't high enough to get him to give your answer outright.]

[demoncompkid.livejournal.com]

[You have acquired a new quest! "Find Orpheus' Student!" There is no time limit, but I suggest you not take too long.]

I see.

[Brb finding a blanket and draping it over you. Also have a pillow.]

[clockstopped]

[Pah! Good luck, that bastard's a better ninja than I am. Not to mention you don't know who his student IS. In the meantime, hells yes blanket. But not lifting his head up for the pillow. Too busy staring at it blankly. Oh, what I wouldn't kill for you to be effective.]

Can't sleep.

[demoncompkid.livejournal.com]

It's more comfortable than lying on the table.

[This is true. DETECTIVE MICHI - okay no.]

[clockstopped]

A casket would be even moreso.

[He's just irritable in his insomnia, don't pay him any mind. At least he stopped glaring at the pillow. In favor of just covering his head with it and trying to drown out the rest of reality. ... Or suffocate himself, but that's a rather ineffective method when you don't need to breathe.]

[demoncompkid.livejournal.com]

... [Headpats. Doesn't care if he's gonna get snapped at for that. :| ]

[clockstopped]

[Not snapped at. But you do get said pillow whipped at your face with no remorse. No headpats. Ever.]

I'll see you later. [Aaand leaving now, yes. >_>]

[clockstopped]

[Tempted to correct that there won't BE a later, but keeps quiet. Switching his glare back to the table with a short sigh. Best to keep them ignorant after all.]
