second breath! ≈ [VIDEO]

[derpleader]

 [Good evening, Ruby City! This fine day, we have one John Egbert appearing on the network, looking rather thoughtful as he ponders something beyond the view of the camera. From the draining orange and blue skyline behind him and the faint cyan glow around his person, one might be able to deduce that John is up in the air, fairly high.]

Soooooooo. [

John! Get out of the woods! Now!

[Video]

[derpleader]

[Kid's still rather frazzled. Give him a moment.]

Whazza? [His pushes himself over onto his side before sitting up, twitching a bit.] Uh. Ms. Buckley?

...woods?

[No shit, Sherlock, take a look around you.]

[Video]

[ergaleomancer]

Get moving. Now.

[Video]

[derpleader]

Hehe, okay, okay. [Slowly but surely, he's on his feet.] Gosh, that was some ride. Wow.

...where am I, anyway?

[Video]

[eveningplum]

...Wow, you're a skittish person aren't you?

[Video]

[derpleader]

...hehe. [He giggles weakly, flopping over onto his stomach.] I guess if I wasn't before, I'm gonna be now! [Because of all the...weird twitching this high amount of voltage getting shoved into his body is going to cause for the next few days.

Also John why are you joking when you just got shot about a half-mile through the sky. GOD.]

[Video]

[eveningplum]

..you're really in a good mood for someone who almost died, too.

[Video]

[derpleader]

Don't worry, I'm used to it! [John, this is not a good thing.] Besides, I was not even close to dying. Geez.

[He sits up, cringing.] Hehe, but I guess that doesn't mean it's not gonna hurt, huh? Oooowww.

[video]

[badatmyjob]

[You're being cheered on.]

Wow! Nice! Too bad it didn't work, but it was entertaining at least.

[video]

[derpleader]

[He would take a bow if his side wasn't throbbing in pain. And if he wasn't lying upside down against a tree.]

I guess I am glad you enjoyed the show, heheh. But I wouldn't really recommend it, it kiiiiinda stings afterwards. Bluh.

[video]

[badatmyjob]

You look like you're in bad shape, though. Break anything?

[video]

[derpleader]

Dunno! [He flops over onto his side, rolling over onto his stomach and fanning out lazily.] I dunnnnoooo. I guess I will find out when I go to the clinic!

[Video]

[neutralbyforce]

...Well.

[Vash is still slightly stunned by that display of sheer... idiocy.]

Good to know the rumors are true then, I suppose.

...Are you alright, kid?

[Video]

[derpleader]

[He did it for SCIENCE. He gives the camera a shaky thumbs up.] Yeah, I'm totally fine! So fine.

Ooowww.

[Video/Action]

[neutralbyforce]

Of course you are.

[Vash frowns into the camera, trying to figure out where John is, roughly.]

Look kid, don't move, okay? Not that I think you can even if you wanted to... I'm going to come make sure you didn't hurt yourself too badly.

[There are far too many children running around the city these days... Vash promptly sets off, cursing his own inability to ignore an injured person, even if they're an idiot.]

[Video/Action!]

[derpleader]

Hehe. [He flops over onto his stomach, wincing a bit.] You will never meet anyone as fine as me. Ever.

[He gives the camera a wary wave from his spot on the ground.] S'alright, really, I do not need any help!

[Sure you don't, John...yeah, he'll just sort of be lying there, trying to gauge the extent of his injuries. And continually muling over how sick that stunt was.]

[blade_of_jashin]

[Hey John, you see this? This is a slightly disappointed Jashinist. He wanted to see a charred body]

Tch, looks like you're still alive.

[Video]

[derpleader]

[TOO BAD, BUCKO. Takes more than a human fly zapper to off this kid. He gives the camera a dazed wave.] Hehe, looks like it!

[Video]

[blade_of_jashin]

Huh... too bad...

You look like a fuckin' weirdo.

[Video]

[derpleader]

[There's a twitch to his smile at that. Oh god, is this a troll? Or maybe just a general mean person...] Geez, that's pretty rude!
