[Kakihara turns on the communicator and just props it up against the bottom of the couch. The man is not in the mood to be electrocuted, even if he has nothing to say. He's sitting on the floor, slumped over with a couple of blankets wrapped around his body, hair draped over his eyes. there's a very thin layer of snow dusting the floor in a straight pattern, where the windows broke recently no doubt. He's very clearly shivering, almost violently, but he doesn't do anything else. On the floor in front of his crossed legs is a little broken plate with something that looks gooey on it, like a blob of mucus.
Across from him is another dingy, broken plate with a much larger and more disgusting looking blob on it, Shell chewing on the back end of it. It almost looks like a face... until Shell greedily mauls and claws at it. She's looking too thin for a
wolf, but she is alive. Not the healthiest, but alive. And from the look of the situation, Kakihara has been doing everything in his power to keep it that way, including giving her most of the rations. After all, he'd just come back if he died. She wouldn't. And if he died, maybe she could just eat him. Besides, this seemed to be the beginning of her eating her family...]
I knew it would only be a matter of time before it died in this weather. I'm surprised it lasted this long. Good riddance, fucking snot.
[He coughs and doubles over, slumping over the plate with his hands pressed to the floor as he tries to keep from falling, and catch his breath. Someone hasn't been eating. Or taking care of himself in general. Finally he wipes his face and raises his head before reaching out for the communicator. The image flips to the ceiling as he prepares to turn it off.]
Slow down, Sheru. You might choke on your brother...
[OOC: Remember those blobfish from Christmas oh-so-long ago? Reno had been keeping his alive ever since, but the weather was so cold that poor Heidegger finally kicked the bucket. Or went belly up, idk. The nasty boogers on those plates are what's left of the massive, spoiled brat, well-fed blobfish. I'm sorry, Reno, I didn't wanna kill it off, but it didn't make sense for it to live! At least he's going to good use... There's a bit left! Probably for Takaya~]
