[The communicator crackles to life at an awkward angle, but what it shows is unmistakeable.]

( HERE BE VIOLENCE, NOT AN IC CUT )

Xian-

a_thousandyears July 24 2010, 07:50:00 UTC

Xian sheng! Xian sheng! [Again again not again it's happening again he knew it knew it-]

a_thousandyears July 24 2010, 07:51:20 UTC

Coward! Don't you dare run away! [He's probably not far away, so he's sprinting to wherever they are.]

[China is still attempting to curl into a ball, shuddering and crying out in pain, because that isn't working so well. Eventually he gives up and lies there, staring blankly at the empty doorway.]

a_thousandyears July 24 2010, 14:59:52 UTC

[Runs into the room.] Xian sheng!

[Stares uncomprehendingly. Hong Kong wasn't supposed to be here, was he? No, no, he was getting lost in his own memories. He forces himself back to the present, focuses on the little brother he's meant to protect, and tries to rise-]

Li Shui...

[Let's say this is before he shrinks back to 1941, but he's getting close.]

Xian sheng... [Kneels down next to him.] Don't move. Everything will be fine.

[I'm sure this isn't helping any. :(

Predictably, China doesn't get very far. Bracing himself on his hands only hurts more, and he whimpers, sinking to the floor once more.]

Again. It happened again.

a_thousandyears July 24 2010, 15:53:40 UTC

[Can you spell Nanking?]

It won't- this isn't- ... It's not the same, is it?

distantwater July 24 2010, 16:02:07 UTC

[Sob.]

No!

[His voice is determined. He's stubbornly refusing to let his mind take him there, but it's hard, and he reaches for Hong Kong, almost desperately.]

It's not. It can't- can't be, aru.

a_thousandyears July 24 2010, 16:03:30 UTC

[Hold's China's hand and tries to keep his face in an expressionless mask. It's hard, with the stress from nightmares and slowly rewinding in time and now this.] It won't be. [Sounds uncertain.]

distantwater July 24 2010, 16:16:37 UTC

[Gripping that hand like a lifeline.]

I can't. I won't let it be.

[But there are tears in his eyes, because it seems, to him, like he already has.]

a_thousandyears July 24 2010, 16:18:45 UTC

I'll kill him before it is... [Keeping an equally tight grip.] Don't worry, xian sheng.

distantwater July 24 2010, 20:38:30 UTC

Don't leave me..

[He's dizzy, confused, and increasingly frightened, but if he can stay focused on Hong Kong, it's something.]

/threadjack, WAIT is this okay, I can just go... taihoku July 25 2010, 09:12:03 UTC

Laoshi, laoshi, Laoshi! [ She runs into the room later than Hong Kong does - and when she takes her first step in, she's horrified at the sight before her. ]

No...

[ One step, then another, slowly toward the two. Taiwan drags her skirt, sits down next to Hong Kong and sniffs to keep herself from crying. ]

No, no no no no no--Teacher, stay with us! [ Starts ripping up pieces of her oversized skirt to use as makeshift bandages. ] You've got something to fight for, so stay with us, okay? ... You've gotta fight for us... okay?

THIS IS FINE you> me> laoshi for order? a_thousandyears July 25 2010, 11:15:57 UTC

[Hong Kong jumps a little when Taiwan runs in, but doesn't seem to notice that she's smaller than she should be. He's already mentally lost decades, if you asked him the year he wouldn't be able to answer.]

[He shakes his head and lets go of China's hand briefly so he can work on getting China's shirt off and revealing the wound.] We just need to stem the flow and keep him in one piece until a doctor arrives.
