[ 56 - video ]
[Well, here's Scar, and he...doesn't look very good. At first his eyes are closed, and his breathing is a little...heavy. He's also a bit pale--though it's not quite easy to tell, due to his skin tone--and if one is looking closely, they might notice the slight sheen of sweat on his face and neck.
When those dark red eyes do open, though, they're not quite. Focused. He blinks a couple of times before scowling at the Forge. He hadn't meant to use video, but Scar can't really be bothered to change it right now. He does attempt to stand up a little straighter, though, pushing off from the wall he was slumped against.]
Aside from making this post, I won't be using my Forge today. While I doubt it, if you have business with me, you can leave a message with Mei.
[A beat. His hand shakes as he holds the Forge, and his free hand presses against his forehead as he shakes his head slightly. (Is that blood on the knuckles?)]
If it's urgent, you can find me in the Dismas Arena.
But I'd rather you didn't.
[Unless it's to fight. And he's serious about that, by the way. It had better be really fucking urgent to bother him today.]
Private to Senji
I'd like a spar, if you're not busy.
[No, that's not quite right. Need would be a more accurate term.]
It's been quite some time.
Private to Break
You're the one who takes care of that girl, Yachiru, right? I've a favor to ask of you.
There's a girl about her age who lives with me, Mei Chan. She's friends with Yachiru. I'd like you to put her up for the night. I can't...really explain, but I can pay you for your trouble.
Please. It's important.
Private to Mei
[Usually there's a special softness in his expression and tone reserved for Mei, but today it is more or less absent. And while his tone isn't particularly harsh, the stern look he gives into the Forge brooks no argument.]
Mei. I need you to stay with Yachiru tonight.
I'm sorry. I'll...make it up to you, somehow, but I don't want you to be around me today. Promise me you will go, and that you won't come looking for me until I call you.
[He cannot, will not, have her endangered by whatever it is that's taken hold of him. It scares him, this sudden need for violence, and he's afraid of what could happen if his control slipped beyond harming himself.]
I swear I won't disappear again, like last time, but you have to do this for me. Please.
[His tone has gone from authoritative to somewhat distressed. He's afraid she's going to try to argue, to insist she should stay by his side and he cannot handle that possibility right now.]
