A few weeks ago, after Boothill and Cliffgate fought each other in the cemetery, Akabane came to me feeling paranoid. I don't remember if he tried to leave the execution, too. But it sounded a lot like what you're describing right now.
He feels like the type to try to abandon that sort of pointless event.
[ That'd make sense to him, honestly. At least that probably points to all this being an effect and therefore just him being fucked with, but it can only do so much to help him. ]
[ Me parenting up real quick to double check the dating of this thread to be safe and being like wow W2 Sunday, we've been keeping this thread going on for a while (W2 was literally just the previous week and I am going insane). ]
He seemed fine by the next Monday morning when I spoke to him, I think... so hopefully it'll be the same for me. I can't... I really don't have the capacity to deal with this right now on top of everything else.
I requested it from Famine after the events of the second pyre trial. Terribly sorry, I decided to share it more or less one-on-one just in case the cult caught wind...
I'm also surprised, given all the other rules and restrictions we have to tiptoe around, but it is what it is.
Given the spread of powers and abilities that I've seen, I can make a few guesses off the monsters I actually know of and are familiar with what they traditionally do, but some of these are out of my purview.
Even knowing a little about them, I don't know if I could make an accurate guess. [squinting at the list.] Maybe the oni has super strength...? And the koromodako can change their size or something.

There was... something out there. I hated playing audience, but it was preferable to going out there. But it's not gone yet.
I don't know if it's just my mind filling in the gaps, or if it's just an illusion, or it's really here, but.
[ He dully, but nervously keeps glancing around, out the window, behind Asa, through a doorway. ]

[thinks about him being so excited for yellow arm.]
He insisted it wasn't a curse, but... It sounds like you were hit with the same thing.
no subject
Well, great news. Turns out there's more things just lying around to torment us into playing their odd little game.
[ Sigh. ]
no subject
she also sighs.]
Like we don't have enough problems to deal with already.

... Sorry. Do you think you can sleep like this?
[just go to sleep and wake up after it's worn off.]
no subject
[ The horrors keep coming and they don't stop coming. ]
I'll survive. Maybe sleep twelve hours the first day I can manage it.
no subject
I guess it couldn't be that easy... It's too bad there isn't a power that can dispel curses. I don't even know what kind of monster that would be.
no subject
[ He just fishes out a paper and squints at it. ]
You wouldn't happen to know what oni, koromodako, bakunawa, gumiho, qilin, and oni are?
[ Becomes racist and asks her about every monster that sounds vaguely Japanese-y while I quake in rl. ]
no subject
I— Um. Huh? [OKAY???] I know as much as the average person, I guess. Where did you get that list from?
no subject
Did you not... see it yet? My bad...
