[ John's return comes at a particularly bad moment. well, there's never really a good time, as his first arrival hadn't been timed that much better either.
but the core could not have picked the worst time to bring him back now.
similar to last time, the landing is rough; being knocked down by a cyclist coupled with the effect of being pulled back is a terrible combination and the result is a hard collision with the ground, where he lies motionless. his nv is broadcasting, although he isn't aware of this. it seems the fall might've actually knocked him out, until he emits a pained groan and relives the adverse effects of re-adjusting to the pull. ]
Shheerr... [ John slurs and lifts his head. he's clearly disorientated and his face crumples when it dawns on him where he is. even in this state, it's easy to tell the difference between a london street and a baseball field and his breath catches and his voice breaks. he's not -- he hasn't -- oh, God. ] ... No. no, no, oh Jesus not now, please...
[ he stands up slowly, his movements sluggish and presses a hand against his head, stumbling out of shot and wandering away from the baseball diamond. ]
( ooc: john is coming back during the series 2 finale, so beware for the reichenbach fall spoilers in this post! )
