001 ❀ video

[tembleques]

[the video feed starts, to focus on a side way glance of a wounded man, sharp spikes through his chest; protruding front and back. blood flows freely down his arms-trails of copper liquid smearing his face with the tell-tale sign of scratched bruises on his skin. but in the red-tinted sky quickly turning black his appearance may be misleading

[Now that... that looks just a little bit too familiar for comfort. Kanda might hear the slight click of a video feed starting up, but otherwise there's relative silence at first as Havoc simply stares. Blood... So, so much blood.

It makes her feel sick.]

video.

[hematophagus]

[the moment passes, though, and she finally speaks up - if Kanda were to actually check the feed, he'd notice that she looks relatively calm, if... slightly somber. You look a lot younger than she was.]

...Stop moving so much. You'll bleed out faster like that. [Though pulling the spike out certainly didn't help...]

video.

[tembleques]

[he only just about notices the video feed, but can't do much other than have a delayed reaction. kanda hadn't realised he had a bracelet of such technological proportions stuck to his wrist.

instead of reacting calmly to it, he throws a retort only he can conjure despite the circumstances. rather an unimpressed retort, with a tinge of venom and accusation, coupled by an attempt to catch his breath.]

Who are you-?

video.

[hematophagus]

[She's watching, though much concentration isn't actually put on his face - more to whatever part of the injuries she can see.

If the video feed is large enough, and if Kanda is bothering to pay attention, her dress has some holes in it rather similar to the ones he no doubt has from being skewered.]

It's not important. I told you to stop moving.

video.

[tembleques]

[kanda does stop. the words had not come as a plea of pity (as he would usually mishear) but as a stronger command-he reacts better to things said like that. his attempt at remaining still, however, do not last long. it's a painful situation to be in and he's just about managing to breathe without gasping for air.

what were the odds his lungs had been punctured?] I'm not sitting- [raspy cough of blood] -on my hands.

[here is his second? third? whatever numbered attempt to remove a second spike, whether the redheaded woman liked it or not.]

video.

[hematophagus]

[There's an audible sound when he starts trying to remove the spikes again, something that might be disapproval, and Havoc drops her wrist at her side - enjoy the view of the ground, Kanda, or maybe some odd part of her dress. It seems she's begun moving, though.]

...You won't get those out on your own. [She tilts her wrist, enough that she can see the feed again, and vice-versa, while walking.] If you're so determined to bleed yourself dry, show me the area you're in. [She's been wandering around for awhile - she might be able to find him and at least help pull them out. ...though, really, it's a wonder he hasn't keeled over yet as it is.]

[kanda doesn't bother replying; in fact, he won't bother with the woman anymore. if he assumes an ignoring stance throughout this, he hopes that perhaps she will leave her proclaimed mission for assistance aside and let him be. as much as she hasn't actually said she would help him, her intentions are way too obvious at this point.

so he continues his task of removing the spikes without much current success, unaware that the device on his wrist is catching on to his surroundings-as dark as it is, gravestones and a couple of dried out trees can be made out in the near distance.]

video. -> action?

[hematophagus]

[Assistance-- hardly. That may be the thought she had in mind, but for the most part... Havoc recalls waking up with her eyes closed. It's a terrible thing to die with them wide open. That's all there is to it, really.

Still, she recognizes the area well enough from what little of the place that she's explored thus far, and it doesn't take too exceptionally long to find the general area the boy (she assumes; the hair makes it a bit more difficult to tell) is in.

The main question, though, is whether or not he's still alive at that point.]

action.

[tembleques]

[kanda was alive and well, at this point. if anything he was still bleeding from his wounds-which were, at this point, already halfway healed. there's a reason why he didn't walk away with the other two exorcists, but he's not quite sure what it is if he had to be honest with himself. perhaps a small part of him is still stuck in the battle he had been spirited away from. and the things that battle implied.

alma, of all people. of all things.

he has managed to wander around, only to find himself leaning against a gravestone slab, catching his breath.]

[ooc: if you don't mind i'm making this after lavi and allen helped him out of the spikes, and he decided to go somewhere different than where they were going to. :I]
