[Eighth] Moonrise: Video ⇥ Scar

[beforemoonfall]

[When the feed comes to life, it doesn't show any part of Isa from the neck up and it's lop-sided. Like the person holding it doesn't care. But it's also slightly shaking. Finally, there's a laugh. It's broken, half-mad and pained. That voice is familiar.]H-Heh... I'll... I won't be out and about for awhile. I just... I don't have it in me. Not

[Did she just see what she think she just saw?
That boy... Was he injured?]

Hello?

...

Hello??

[voice]

[beforemoonfall]

...Y-Yeah...?

[He's hesitant, quiet. Like he almost doesn't want to be bothered.]

[voice]

[keystorm]

[She'll take whatever she can get. Ohgoshpoorthing sdlfkjsldk]

What... What happened to you?
I can help you, if you like. I mean -- my magic isn't as good as it once was, but --

[Shut up, Aqua, you're going to give him a brain overload. Okay, trying again, she's slowing down.]

Are you alright...?

[voice]

[beforemoonfall]

[There's that broken laugh again.]

...I'm not sure.

[ninthserenade]

Too much pain? Isa... What'd you d--

[ninthserenade]

[Oh.]

[ninthserenade]

[Oh God...]

[ninthserenade]

[Suddenly his SFC clatters to the floor with a clatter.]

[ First it's the sound of Isa's voice that gets her.

Then it's the sight of his injuries.

But it's the gaze in his eyes that really seems to hurt Usagi the most as she fumbles with her own SFC to try and talk to him. ]

Isa, what happened?! Your face...!

[beforemoonfall]

...I... I was provoked by someone. They... Carved this into my face.

[ourshininghope]

They carved...

[ Someone intentionally hurt him? The pit in her stomach seems to drop lower and lower.. ]

There are plenty of people here that could probably fix it for you!

[beforemoonfall]

I don't... I don't think it can be fixed, Usagi. It's... It really hurts. And it's deep. Real deep...

[He's just glad it's not bleeding anymore.]

[pristinestar]

[This seriously is a bad thing to see at this hour. Concern rose up in Red's chest, feeling it wrap around him. He found himself silent for the first few moments, but then eventually tried to say something...]

...

. . .

U-um, what... What happened to you? [The sight of such an injury... It's hard to see. But Red really wanted to do something to help this person... Even if they could just talk, at the very least. He must be so scared.]

[beforemoonfall]

H-Haha... Long story. I... I managed to piss someone off enough they decided to carve something into my face.

[pristinestar]

That's not right...!

[Red couldn't help but flatten and smack his hands against the table in front of him. Why did this have to happen to this person? This is such a cruel thing to do... Only someone without a right mind would do such a thing, even if something did happen between them.]

...

[a breath, then lowered his eyes] How is it? Did someone manage to treat your wounds yet?

[beforemoonfall]

...I managed to clean it and bandage it up myself. It... Should be fine.

[The wound should. He's not sure about the rest of him.]

[got_it_memorizd]

[He was gonna say something, he really was, but you just get a momentarily genuinely horrified face, and then this face for just an instant and then the feed shifts and jerks abruptly before fizzling out as Axel hurls his SFC across the room.

Goddammit.]

IDK

[beforemoonfall]

[Isa just watches, flinching as the feed cuts out abruptly.

If you want to visit, Axel, the door's open.]

[got_it_memorizd]

[He may take you up on that at some point. Right now he needs some answers first. And maybe a drink.

So long as there's still Isa left, though, there's still a part of Axel that wants to be your friend... even if he's pretty sure it's too late for that anymore. Bear with him.]

[beforemoonfall]

[He'll be here. He's... Not exactly got the will to go anywhere any time in the foreseeable future.]
