[Action/Some Video] [Starting just minutes before the sirens]
((ooc: Yup, jumping on the Miner plot. Cut for lovely gory details. And length. Because I can't keep things short. Ever.
There won't be any responses from Kazuma to this post but feel free to have characters freak out amongst themselves. Kazu will be back in a week which is good 'cause I'm working at 5am for the next two days sob sob))
[Kazuma Ikezawa is not having a good week. Between Ella losing her memory and getting fired, Dash vanishing and coming back all hateful... Kazuma just wants to curl in to a ball and disappear.
He might get his wish after all...
After seeing Dash's post he called in "sick" to work, grabbed his laptop/NV and just went out without telling anyone in the apartment where he was going or when he was going to be back - mainly because he didn't know himself. He just wandered for hours, poking at a couple of shops and stopping for lunch even though he didn't really feel hungry and barely touched half of it.
He thought about going home a few times, but it just wouldn't have felt right without Dash there. Lord knows Applejack isn't in any better of a mood, and Nadeko... well, she means well and wants to help just as much as Kazuma does, but on the same token she doesn't know what to do any better than he does.
What the poor kid doesn't know, though, is that he's not going to make it home tonight even if he wants to. He crossed a certain man's path late in his wanderings and that is going to wind up being the worst thing he could have possibly done.

[Some time before the sirens, literally minutes before, his NV actually comes on. He appears to be sitting in an alley way, on a loading dock connected to some building, probably a business of some kind. He's on the stairs that lead off of it, not really caring that he probably shouldn't be there at all. It's rather dimly let, but the sun is still glowing orange as it sinks low and is casting odd shadows and light throughout the alleyway. It's acutally not that far from the apartment he shares with Dash, Applejack, and Nadeko.
He wants to say something. He looks like he wants to say something. It might even be an apology, even though he doesn't really have anything to apologize for. But he really doesn't know what to say after all the crap that's happened, and it doesn't matter because the sirens interrupt him anyway. He lets out a groan and rolls his eyes skyward, digging around in his canvas bag for a flashlight, muttering something like 'getting back is going to be a pain'. The Darkness dissolves over the area, blocking out the feed for a few seconds until Kazuma can finally get the flashlight on. It barely illuminates enough around him, but after a quick visual search around the area he deems himself safe. For the moment.
His hand reaches forward like he's going to stop recording and turn his NV off, but a shuffling sound near by makes him stop and look up, expression going from curious to slightly worried.]
... what the hell--...
[A blinding light raises up over Kazuma's face, causing him to throw an arm up to shield his eyes, but it leaves him very open and very vulnerable. There is a very distinct, sickening CRACK! noise and the teen goes down like a sack of bricks as something very heavy collides with his head and sends him crashing. His NV tumbles with him, landing sideways on the ground and re-focusing on Kazuma's face, a swatch of light cutting across from the fallen flashlight. He groans, a nasty gash making blood roll down his face. His eyes look up at his attacker, going wide and frightened.]
Who--...
[A gloved hand reaches down and grabs Kazuma by his hair, dragging him up in to a standing position and out of the view of the NV. He lets out a pained, shrill shriek, legs thrashing. Something hits the NV violently and after a second or two of static it shuts off.]
-Video end-
[Kazuma tried to fight back. He really did. And the alleyway shows evidence of that. Aside from the bloody mess that's all over the place, there's two trashcans dented and a piece of plywood broken in half that he tried to whack his attacker with. He might have survived if he'd shifted in to his rabbit form. "Might" being the operative word there. But he never got the chance to.
Should anyone try to find him or stumble across the scene, it will be disturbing, to say the least. The broken, torn body of a teenage boy left in the street, chest ripped open and heart removed. At least two of his limbs have been snapped thanks to his struggles, and the look of fear on his face is clearly the face of some one who realized just how powerless they were to stop their own death.
There is a heart finger painted in his blood on the wall above where he's lying, and near by to that, the crushed remains of a laptop that served as Kazuma's NV. On top of that, a blood-soaked box of chocolates with a very real, very human heart in it.
Three guesses as to who's heart it is. First two don't count.]
