Illusion LIV {Text/Video // forward dated to sunday, offline to varia mansion]

[supermistfrog]

[Once his facial muscles had started to obey his brain's orders, Fran managed to supress his annoyance and unsettlement under his blank face once again. Sending out apologies in text while confined in bed due to multiple injuries is the better decision than voice or video, he thinks. After all, he didn't want to show emotion or anything like that.

[ The feed flicks on. Tsuna looks.. well, the severe bruising covering his face should say something. He wasn't nearly as injured as he was the night the... incident between them took place, though. He gives the text a long, searching look- for a moment, it almost looks like he won't accept- before his face breaks out into a little half smile. ]

It's okay.

[No video yet. Fran doesn't want to record his reaction to seeing that of all things. He expected crying, or yelling, but-]

....

Are you still affected by the event?

[Better make sure...]

[onnicomprensivo]

Eh? No, I didn't talk to anyone for a long time [ And he's not saying why ] but my face has stopped hurting from all the grinning.

...

[And on comes the video feed, showing a very beaten up Fran, scowling with eyes away from the camera.]

So you really do forgive me. Just like that.

[buntails]

Fran! Are you alright? What happened? [he doesn't look so good, all bruised and bandaged up.]

Should I come over?

[Video]

[supermistfrog]

[Since people seem just so eager to see him in this state, he won't bother clicking the video off. And it's Usagi- she actually does care.]

I got slightly angry.

[...]

I can't stop you if you want to do that.

[Video]

[buntails]

I want to. It looks like you could use some company.

[The offer is sincere; in fact, the feed shows her already grabbing a few things to get ready to go.]

You're at home, right? [Not the clinic or somewhere?]

[Video]

[supermistfrog]

....

[Sort of the opposite- he wants to hide his face and let everyone else deal with the fallout. But it's just Usagi and he can handle that.]

Yes, I am. I'd prefer if you came alone and didn't make this a group visit, please.

[verlorenscasket]

[Oh jeez Fran.]

Did all of you try killing each other?

[He sounds a little like he's joking, but really, he's just concerned.]

[supermistfrog]

....

Fantastic observation.

[capuletnomore]

[She sees this on Sunday morning, when going through her PCD. The glimpse of him may be brief, but it's enough to worry her.]

Fran? What has happened?

[Video]

[supermistfrog]

[He gives the camera a brief look, before turning away.]

Don't you remember what happened before the event, or is everyone that lacking in memory?

[Video]

[capuletnomore]

I remember. I stayed indoors, away from the madness. It seemed as though the entire city had gone mad with anger. How - how badly were you injured, that a week's rest has left you in such a state? You have been seen by a healer?

...

I got into a few fights with overly powered people.

I haven't seen one yet. [Because he didn't want to show his face, nope.]

[feel_nevermore]

Where and when?

[Same filter]

[supermistfrog]

Now and over the network, please.

[Same filter]

[feel_nevermore]

[What? You don't want to meet her in person, Fran? She's hurt.]

As you wish.

[Same filter]

[supermistfrog]

[Looking like a truck just ran over him? No thanks.]

I would like to discussion an excursion to the underground tunnels. Obviously it's only going to get worse from here. It would be better to act fast.
