[voice;] [Ninth entry, Nov. 28th]

[weaktobullets]

[The feed clicks on and more than anything, Shinji just sounds... well, tired. Worn out and emotionally drained, simply stating what he has to say on the network, as though to get the words off and away from him.]...People who work at Siren's Flowers, Minako ain't gonna be in for a bit. Sorry. She ain't feeling so hot. I dunno how long she'll be

Voice.

[outbursting]

Huh? Yeah, sure...

I hope that Minako-chan feels better. Hrm, should I bring over something? A get well present, maybe?

Voice.

[weaktobullets]

Whenever you got time. Don't think there's much've a hurry.

...if you want. I dunno how much she'd wanna see flowers, though. [A forced, quickly dying laugh.]

Voice.

[outbursting]

Sounds serious either way, the way that you're wording things. So, now as good as time as any.

Sure, sure. Chocolates, then?

Voice.

[weaktobullets]

[A bit bitterly] Well, things've kinda changed, now ain't they.

...Sure. Whatever.

[voice]

[mentis_reae]

[Quietly:]

Is there anything that can be done for her?

[voice]

[weaktobullets]

...She'll be alright. [He thinks and/or hopes.] Back home, Minato just sorta... wore himself out after a bit, so a cold knocked him right on his ass. I figure she's kinda the same.

Just wanna make sure she gets looked at.

[voice]

[mentis_reae]

[A pause, and then when he speaks his voice is more focused.]

Then she is truly suffering from a medical malady?

[voice]

[weaktobullets]

The hell else would it be?

[gaveherwings]

Yes? I'm here. What happened?

[weaktobullets]

Just hoping you could look over Minako, make sure she's okay.

[Private // Fairly easy]

...I can't wake her up. She just... passed out in the damn hallway.

[gaveherwings]

Of course.

[Private; voice]

Just now? How are her vitals? Did you call an ambulence?

[voice; // private]

[weaktobullets]

She's breathing, heartbeat's fine. She just won't wake up. And nah, I ain't yet, thought I'd just call you. This ain't the first time it's happened, from what I hear. Minato was kinda the same back home sometimes.

...Just didn't think the whole damn network had to know.

[voice]

[the_highcost]

Shinji. I just wanted to say sorry. But don't worry about Minako too much. She's okay. Just tired. She's been working way too hard lately.

[voice]

[weaktobullets]

[dlfkjs Death. If nothing else, her voice helps relax him a bit.]

Don't apologize. Just... don't. [A quiet pause.] ..And I figured it wa slike that. Minato was kinda the same sometimes.

[voice]

[the_highcost]

All right.

[Pauses for a moment.] Well, they are similar to each other. This is to be expected. She'll be fine after some rest. It's going to take a little bit, though.

[voice]

[weaktobullets]

...Yeah. Any clue how long?

[audio]

[sequincy]

Ah. Please let her know Ishida hopes she feels well soon.

[pause.]

...Is it serious?

[audio]

[weaktobullets]

I'll pass it along.

No, it ain't. [This. Might be a near-lie?] It sound that way?

[audio]

[sequincy]

Yes. [simply.] From your tone and needing to speak with Dr. Yumeno, which implies it isn't something simple.

[audio]

[weaktobullets]

More like I'm sick of getting bitched at for trying to handle shit myself, and Yumeno's the doctor I know.

[A pause. He has no way to play off the tone other than the truth:] I'm just fucking tired. She'll be fine, though.
