[So Athrun got into Ecruteak City last night, checked into an inn, and hit the sack immediately. And the first thing he does today? Gym visit

Athrun!?

[audio]

[shieldofjustice]

[The sound of someone moving around can be heard, before Athrun's voice comes over the PokéGear:]

I-I'm all right!

Sort of.

[audio]

[restardom]

What do you mean "sort of"?

[audio]

[shieldofjustice]

...My left shoulder is dislocated.

[usedgatlinggun]

[ Needless to say, she looks alarmed. ]

Athrun! Are you all right?!

[audio]

[shieldofjustice]

[No video yet; only his right arm is functioning, so he's sticking with what it's set on for now.]

...I'm...more or less all right.

[video]

[usedgatlinggun]

'More or less?' That doesn't sound promising.

[ The initial panic has faded, now that she's heard his voice, but she still looks tense and concerned. ]

Are you hurt?

[video]

[shieldofjustice]

[The video feed comes on, and Athrun is cradling his left arm in his right. From the way his shoulder looks, it's obvious there's something wrong with it.]

Dislocated shoulder. Other than that, nothing significant.

Athrun! [it doesn't matter that she's sick still, he might be in trouble] Athrun, answer me!

[audio]

[shieldofjustice]

[After some shuffling sounds...]

I'm here. I'm still here.

[audio]

[fullmoonstory]

I'm going to come help you. Are you hurt?

[audio]

[shieldofjustice]

No, you're sick. Stay where you are, Estelle. I can get out on my own. A dislocated shoulder won't be enough of an obstacle to that.

[This is not the first time Anew hears something this frightening from an audio feed. More than once she had been shaken by the clashing noises of a space battle. But this time was different. While listening to the radio feeds on the Ptolemy, she had at least some visual support to know what was happening, this time it was different, and she's literally cursing that she can't see Athurn's condition]

[Anew gets her ear closer to the pokegear hoping that would allow her to hear at least one breath from this stranger, her voice is shaky with concern as she speaks]Hello? Can you hear me? What's your condition? Are you hurt?

[Audio]

[shieldofjustice]

...I can hear you.

I've just got a dislocated shoulder. Nothing more serious than that.

Re: [Audio]

[cristal_promise]

[And here is a doctor who can't do anything for you because she isn't there to help you!

Useless, that was what Anew was telling herself over and over]I there anyway you can get any help from where you are?

[Audio]

[shieldofjustice]

I can call the emergency line and have them send someone to get me out. But there's a ladder nearby, and I'm confident I can get out on my own.

[combat_butler]

--whoa! A-Athrun-san?! Are you okay?! I know we only just got here, but that doesn't mean you need to go injuring yourself to keep you in town for a while!

[audio]

[shieldofjustice]

...I'm here. I'm okay...or I will be. It's just a dislocated shoulder.

[audio]

[combat_butler]

--eh? Doesn't that mean it will be impossible for you to climb up? Or can you relocate it on your own??

[audio]

[shieldofjustice]

There's a ladder. I can climb a ladder with one arm.
