Video [002] �

[protagonized]

[At first, there is silence. And then a cough, and two. A fumble and a click, and the video function turns on. And weakly--]

Is this thing even working...?

[He winces, one hand going to his chest, even as he takes a shuddering breath.]

What is going on? I thought--

[And he winces again, slumping to rest against the building beside him.]

Ugh.

...How the hell are you alive?!

[protagonized]

[Oh gods the yelling--

It catches him off guard, and he fumbles with the SFC. But he can't catch it, and it falls to the ground with a clatter. He looks down at it helplessly, still slumped against the building.

At least it landed video up?]

[onecoolcop]

...Classic. [ HEAVY SIGGHHH ]

[protagonized]

Glad to amuse.

[His voice is terse and slightly strained as he looks down at the device. Try to pick it up and risk not being able to stand up again, or leave it there?]

[onecoolcop]

It's a criminal offense to stage your own death -- ! [ okay, anger again, because gdmit things weren't too well when you were gone :c ]

[protagonized]

[He stares for a moment, attempting to comprehend this. Because seriously...What?]

Then I guess it's a good thing I didn't stage my death.

[He says this grimly. And now...he reaches a decision and reaches again for the SFC. Trying to stand up again when his legs are trembling doesn't go so well, so he ends up sitting against the wall, SFC in hand. He sighs.]

[onecoolcop]

... [Glare :/ ]

People don't just come back to life.

[protagonized]

I know that. Or...I thought I did.

But people don't live underwater in giant bubbles, either.

[onecoolcop]

.....Point taken.

[protagonized]

[He nods, wincing again.]

Did you figure out who killed me, at least?
