[Concerned shota is worried for his friends-- and most of the rest of the city.]

Hey, is everyone alright?  That sound... it wasn't from someone in the city, was--

[Oz's eyes widen, breath hitching, and he nearly topples off the stool with a low gasp of pain, catching himself on the wall just in time.  He hasn't felt anything like this in ages, not

[That didn't look good. She should care about this, right? It was a bit harder than it should have been to feel concerned. But still, she didn't want to play with a toy if it wasn't in good condition.]

Oz.

[Voice] Why am I still awake. Why are YOU still awake?

[acreepybrat]

[Have a long pause. Like, ten minutes or so pass by before the connection comes back on and he's stopped clutching at his chest.]

A-ah... Miss Kaoru, are you all right? [Maybe some traces of labored breathing under the familiar words and tone.]

[Voice] pfffft, sleep, what is that even

[blacksheepgirl]

Don't ask me that. You're the one about to collapse.

[Voice]

[acreepybrat]

[Without missing a beat]

Nah, it's no big deal. I just lose my grip a little.

Please, Miss Kaoru. I can't help but want to know. I just want to make sure... that everyone precious to me is safe.

[Voice]

[blacksheepgirl]

[That really should have gotten a reaction out of her. It doesn't.]

You're wasting your time acting concerned. No matter what happens, it will all end the same. You know that.

[Voice]

[acreepybrat]

That sort of thing, no matter how misplaced, can't be a waste. You know I'll worry about you anyway, Miss Kaoru.

[Voice]

[blacksheepgirl]

Don't. I don't want it. Not from you or anyone. [She sounds so angry today...]

[Voice]

[acreepybrat]

[TAKE MY CARE AND AFFECTION, TAKE IT.]

Haha, that's too bad then. It can be a secret, if you want. I know Miss Kaoru-- [AH PAIN the seal is 'moving' again, in his head. He doesn't make a sound, but there might be some labored breathing on this end.]

[Voice]

[blacksheepgirl]

[NO NEVER I'M BUSY HAVING GHOST INDUCED RAEG/ANGST. Also don't think she doesn't hear that.]

Oz. What's wrong with you?

[Voice]

[acreepybrat]

[GIVE ME A MINUTE I'M IN PAIN.]

...

Well, the other day I was carrying a stack of books over to Yuki's place, and then I tripped and fell on the way there, but I couldn't drop the all books on the ground, so... [Does he get a prize for most annoying story ever?]

[Voice]

[blacksheepgirl]

[He gets a gold star! And the sound of the communicator SLAMMING AGAINST SOMETHING.]

Shut up! I don't want to hear your nonsense. Just answer me.

[Voice]

[acreepybrat]

[Eep. He winces a bit at the SLAMMING SOUND, but hell if he's actually going to tell the truth, ever.]

A-ah... please be more careful, Miss Kaoru. Anyway, then I landed on a rock and got a bruise on my ribs. Wanna see? [He's counting on her going DDDD:< NO to avoid... actually showing her anything.]

[Voice]

[blacksheepgirl]

Oh, is that so. My, that must have been a nasty fall...we should take you to see a doctor. Right away. [Bluff: CALLED. 8|]

[Voice]

[acreepybrat]

Ehh, it's not really that bad, you know? [TRYING TO WRIGGLE OUT.]

[Voice]

[blacksheepgirl]

Don't be stupid. It's bad enough to cause you such pain days later. Anyone with common sense would say it needs to be looked at immediately.

[Voice]

[acreepybrat]

[Shiiit my bluff being called.]

Such cruel words, Miss Kaoru. Maybe I'm just manly enough to tough it out! [The hilariously fail attempt at 'macho voice!' fails even more because he's still having a hard time breathing properly.]
