[The communicator switches on to show the interior of a room at Casualty Communal. While part of it looks unused other parts of its furniture look positively trashed as if somebody - or thing - had vented lots of bent up rage on it. A pair of purple and black skates are lying next to a newly-dented wall. The feed stays focused for then for a

Put it in the toaster.

And your left hand makes an 'L'.

Har har. Very funny, brat.

[He flinches a bit at the response]

Well you asked.

[Sorry, he's been up the whole night looking for his suicidal BFF and the rest of the recent days didn't go much better. Also, denial isn't a river in Egypt but a very good friend of his. :( ]

It's a thing called provoking. It's meant to be insulting and make other people mad.

[He stops to hold up his hands and make sure it really is the left one that makes the L.

It is]

It'll probably work on everyone else.

[Because out of all the things he has to be mad about today, somehow being accused of putting his brain in the toaster isn't one of them]

That's reassuring. It'd be tragic if a punk like me suddenly wouldn't even be able to get the public riled up at me. [His sarcasm, can you hear it drip?]

[A pause.]

Just for chance, but did you see a guy wearing motor blades and a severed head recently?

[A what?!]

Uhm.....

[Oh my god a WHAT?!]

No..?

[lionborn]

[He curses.]

Dammit, Ryo-chan... Where'd you go?!

Anyway, thanks. That guy's been right in front of me when I suddenly ended up here and I damn well refuse that this's the end of our friendship. That bastard's got no right to back-stab me like that and then go on dying in some brain-assed pseudo-heroic stunt-! [ rant rant RAGE ]

[neverbeenworse]

[There's a bit of a pause. That bit about back-stabbing hits rather close to home]

...and you still want a friend like that?

video;

[lionborn]

Yes! NO! I don't know! ...But I'll be damned if I'll just let him walk out on me like that as if it's nothing!!

[neverbeenworse]

Guess that makes sense.

Is he here?

video;

[lionborn]

[He takes an exasperated drag from his cigarette.]

Dunno. He was right in front of me before this weird 'taking'--- thing ... stuff.. whatever! happened. Nobody's seen him so far, but that doesn't have to say that he's not here after all. ...What's it to you, anyway?

video;

[neverbeenworse]

Just curious.

[Also his old "friend" is here, Enma's convinced he's been backstabbed, and he wants to kill the kid in revenge now, but that MIGHT be too much information]

[lionborn]

M-Hmm sure. Like I'd buy that.

[They can rage about it together. T_T ]

[There's a stiff pause]

...there's someone--

Someone who... ?
