What...

What wwas the--ngh. [ A groan, a pant for air. Silence for a time. ]

What was the name of the Ganmen that...ran me over? I...I'll kick

it's ass...

[ A very tired, very disorientated, and very strained voice matches the man stumbling into town, dressed in white slacks and nothing else. The tattoos on his arms and back are

Simon...? I wonder who that is...

Kamina! Can you hear me? It's Selphie!

[ooh_kamina]

Yeah. I can hear ya.

[boomchucka]

Are you okay?

[ooh_kamina]

I'm great. Don't worry about me. It'll take a hell of a lot more than this to get me down.

[boomchucka]

You don't sound okay. Look, where are you?

[ooh_kamina]

It's alright, I'll be fine.

I said don't worry, okay?

[boomchucka]

[The gal's a worrywart, you'll have to forgive her worrying, Kamina.]

I'll try...

[ooh_kamina]

That'a girl. [ He sounds just a little relieved.

Not a lot. It's probably not very noticeable (he's doing his best to hide it). ] This is nothing, trust me.

[boomchucka]

Anyway... don't spend too long outside.

[ooh_kamina]

[ Okay, he's gotta agree with that. It's way too cold outside.

...but a man doesn't show weakness to something as insignificant as temperature. ] What? But it's a beautiful day!

I could spend the rest of the afternoon out here.

[boomchucka]

If you wanna be turned into a popsicle, sure.

[ooh_kamina]

What's a popsicle?

[boomchucka]

Frozen juice that you can eat in the summer. Annnnnnnnd, what you'll be turned into if you don't head inside.

[ooh_kamina]

I'm pretty sure I'm not made of juice, though.

[boomchucka]

That... would be horribly awkward.

[ooh_kamina]

Yep.

So I can't be a popsicle, either.
