-07- [accidental voice | backdated to Sunday]

[firebornfidelis]

[A clattering sound breaks through the static on the Forge, then a shuffling and the sound of fabric rustling. When Riza speaks, it is with a pronounced edge of fear in her voice.]

Scar! Oh, god. We have to get you some help.

[The sound of cloth being torn

Riza, what are you doing back in the mist?

[Utena is so angry at both Riza - for going back out- and herself - for not noticing- that she can barely keep her temper in check.]

Are you all right? Do you need help?

[All of that is said through gritted teeth. She's physically restraining herself from going out to find them both.]

[Voice]

[firebornfidelis]

[Oh, she so does not need this right now.]

I'm fine. Scar needs a doctor. You stay where it's safe.

[princely_calyx]

[Mm, kind of deserves it. She knew not to go back into the maze.]

Can you get back to the shop, I think we have a healer here?

...and why didn't you stay where it's safe?

[Voice]

[firebornfidelis]

I'm... not sure. We're looking for it. For anyplace safe.

[Was that her not answering that question again? Oops.]

[ voice ]

[stray_gunner]

I think you really do need a doctor.

[ voice ]

[lonestray]

[He's already a bit on edge, and that tone doesn't help.]

It is none of your concern.

[ voice ]

[stray_gunner]

Maybe it isn't.

But people do rub off on me.

[i.e., Kaien.]

[ voice ]

[lonestray]

Your concern is appreciated, but it is unnecessary. I'll be fine.

[And he's trying to get back to Mei anyway.]

/slinks in

[clawofsin]

...You shot him?

You better fix that guy up.

[firebornfidelis]

... I did.

I bandaged the wound, but he doesn't seem to think he needs more than that.

[voice] derp

[clawofsin]

Well of course he fuckin' doesn't, the guy's like a walking wound magnet. I dunno what it is about him.

Just do whatever you need to.

[voice] sob, the issues.

[firebornfidelis]

It really wasn't anything about him. It was my fault.

[Her voice is quiet, but clipped. She has claimed the wrongdoing, but she clearly does not want to discuss it further.]

[pandamaiden]

[Have a trembling Mei.]

S-Scar-san...

Riza-san! [She'd like to demand why Scar's been shot by a supposed friend, this person he trusted but Scar's wound is most important. She will demand answers later.]

Please tell me where you are!

[ video ]

[lonestray]

[Shit, he did not need Mei to have seen this post...

He was not going to put her at risk because of this.]

Mei. Promise me you'll stay inside. [Firmly.]

If you go out you'll get lost in this too. We're trying to get back to the apartments.

[ video ]

[pandamaiden]

Scar-san...

[But he needs help! They could be out there for ages and if he bled out...]

You need help, Scar-san. [But she isn't exactly ignoring him.]

[ video ]

[lonestray]

The bandage will hold until we get to you, at the least.

Do I have your word you will stay inside?

[it's monday when he replies - the guy he didn't met should be fine by now (or dead)]

Riza? When did you went back out?

[text] private

[firebornfidelis]

[Text is good. It can hide everything that her voice wouldn't be able to, so she can seem calm and matter-of-fact even though, despite the fact that it's Monday now, she is not over what happened.]

Late on Saturday night.

[jaytodd]

Why? Because I'm trying to get good reasons why, but so far I'm drawing a blank.

I thought I saw something. I had to be sure it wasn't real.
