[Normally, when people found themselves in a strange place with wings on their back, they’d panic and freak out. Or confused on what happened. Or even demand to know who was responsible. One of them, any combination of them or other reactions to this strange, unusual situation like any normal person.

But Kasuka isn’t like any normal person. That

[ tom's arrival had him paranoid. what if someone else showed up out of the blue like that?

... apparently, he was wise. ] ... Kasuka? [ the cigarette between his fingers might be snapping. ]

[ voice ]

[sodeadpan]

[It might be hard to tell, but Shizuo's voice definitely caught his attention.] Brother?

[ He's going to kill them.

Kill 'em kill 'em kill 'em kill 'em kill 'em kill 'em kill 'em kill 'em kill 'em kill 'em kill 'em kill 'em kill 'em kill 'em kill 'em kill 'em kill 'em kill 'em kill 'em... ]

Kasuka. Yeah, it's me. [ DEEP. BREATH. Bro may be in danger. Where is bro. Priorities... ]

[ voice ]

[sodeadpan]

[It's brother and he's here in this strange place. He heard enough about Luceti to know about the unfortunate sides to this idyllic looking village.

Did brother get into trouble? Is he fine?] Where are you?

[ voice ]

[moezuo]

Shouldn't I be asking you that? [ shit. shit. tom he could handle. they do this all the time... but kasuka? putting kasuka in danger like this? ] I'm at my apartment.

Hold on, tell me what your surroundings look like. I'll be right there.

[ voice ]

[sodeadpan]

[But Kasuka's worried for Shizuo, even when he should consider his own safety more.]

I'm at a playground. [He's been there for a while because of the journal.]

Re: [ voice ]

[moezuo]

A playground? [ he has to mull it over... yeah. he remembers that. ] Hang on. I'm on my way.

[ voice ]

[sodeadpan]

[The camera captured his nod. He'll be waiting there, bro.]

Re: [ voice ]

[moezuo]

[ and he's running because fucking malnosso. fucking, fucking bastards, he'll kill them all. he hasn't been this angry in a long, long time - not since that flea left, and even if that wasn't all that long ago it's still startling to realize that he'd spent so long being calm and content and revealing in the stability.

Stable for him.

Not for Kasuka, who already had a life and a career and had all sorts of good things in his life. He gets there, clenching and unclenching his fists. Trying hard to calm himself down.

He doesn't see him right off the bat. And that's enough to stir panic. What if someone got him, damnit - there are craziest here, he could have been kidnapped, what if one of his stalkers from the 'Bukuro is here? ] Kasuka!

[ action ]

[sodeadpan]

I'm here.

[He called out to Shizuo when he saw him. He knows his brother's temperament and his emotions very well. While he trust his brother not to hurt him, he don't want to see him go into a rage. So he speaks, hoping to calm him down.

In an unfamiliar place, seeing his brother is...reassuring, he thinks is the right word.]

[ action ]

[moezuo]

Kasuka. [ The tension is out. Stupid. You're overreacting. He shakes his head and tries to calm himself down. He's gotten better at this temper thing. ] Are you alright?

[ action ]

[sodeadpan]

[He nods, shivering a bit.] Just a little cold.

[ action ]

[moezuo]

... C'mon. Let's get you back to my place.

[ action ]

[sodeadpan]

[Nods again. Ready to follow you, bro.]

[ action ]

[moezuo]

[ leading on home! You can wear one of my spare suits lil bro. ]

[ action ]

[sodeadpan]

[Thanks, bro! He'll get his own clothes later, but the cold weather comes first.]
