nightprince[ FILTERED TO ALL THE TROLLS, EXCEPT GAMZEE, AND MINATO + MINAKO ARISATO ;; UNHACKABLE ]
[ The video feed clicks on, and all that can be seen is a dark alleyway. The SFC is covered in black and blue, and slightly cracked. It was damaged during a scuffle, one he barely got out of alive. All that can be heard are muffled, quiet sobs.
After a few minutes, Ryoji composes himself. His arm had been injured, and it was painful to breathe right now. Around his neck was a deep, red mark, from his own scarf, which was gone (currently on a psychotic killer clown), and he had cuts all over. Everything was bleeding pretty badly, including a hit he got from a club to the skull which broke the skin. Luckily, being as resilient as he is, it hasn't cracked his head open. Still, black blood was coming from him at this point.
Anyone who'd enter the alleyway he'd found himself at would notice a trail of blue and black. He... was afraid, that at any moment, Gamzee would come back to follow him. But he hadn't stuck around when he got ahold of Vriska's body and slipped his scarf to know if he'd chased him; he just got out of there as fast as his human form's legs would carry him. He was too exhausted to even change to his Thanatos form at this point, so he couldn't do anything about it.
Finally, after a little while, the cracked SFC's feed cuts and a text appears: ]
....... i... minato. are you awake?
the rest of you... G-Gamzee-san. hes... hes lost it. hes gone crazy. he attacked me, and... Vriska is... shes...... i dont... think i can... please... be careful.
[ And with that, the message ends. ]
(( OOC: Dated to about nine or so minutes after this log, and these threads, which aren't FINISHED yet, but yeah. Posting this early. Also, yes, please, only Minato is going to find him; so IM or Plurk me if you really want to respond/want in. Akihiko, obviously, can jump in if he wants later, same with Minako, when Ryoji is probably brought back to the dorms... eventually. ))

Date: 2011-03-12 09:08 am (UTC)No...he didn't. It was not fair.
[...It's isn't fair. None of this is fair. And it can't be changed.
...He will sit out here with you forever if you so please, Ryoji, but he knows that they can't literally stay here. There are injuries to be treated, clothes and hair to be cleaned.
...A scarf--
He reaches out again.]
Ryoji...we shouldn't stay here.
[Of course, the implications of that statement are clear. They shouldn't; he's concerned, yes. About Gamzee and Ryoji's injuries, and staying there will do nothing. At the same time...if Ryoji needs to stay, he will stay as well. It is far from a command.]

Date: 2011-03-12 09:28 am (UTC)R... right.
[ And slowly, he stumbles up, almost falling over, but catching himself on Minato, using his friend for support. ;; Sorry bff, but he is not in such great shape. ]
no subject
Date: 2011-03-12 05:34 pm (UTC)...He...doesn't want Ryoji to talk, not with that damage done to his neck. At the same time, a walk in silence...would simply allow the other to dwell on things.
So he takes a slow breath. It's not a guarantee but...it's better than nothing, right?]
Are you familiar with Red-kun?
[He clearly isn't really expecting a verbal answer, because he tilts his head to look at the other. No talking, bro. :c]

Date: 2011-03-12 10:53 pm (UTC)And now he wonders why they'd never really met before. ]
no subject
Date: 2011-03-12 11:17 pm (UTC)Red-kun has been here for nearly nine months, if I recall correctly. And...something he has learned in his time in Vatheon is that--
[Is it wrong of him? To give Ryoji false hope, in the instance that it isn't true? But Red had proof-- ...and he would do anything to bring Ryoji closer to a smile.]
People who have died in this world generally come back to life.

Date: 2011-03-13 12:15 am (UTC)[ Is... is that true? Can he really believe that? ... They... really need to get out of here faster. There's still sounds of some sort of fighting going on in that carnival, and he wants to help. His face shows it.
But he can't. ]
no subject
Date: 2011-03-13 12:26 am (UTC)[And that is that. Believe what you will, but...he doesn't think Vriska is gone for good.
He just keeps walking away, steps measured, unhurried, even if his expression is perhaps more serious than usual, less relaxed and tighter. But still calm. Always calm. He has to stay calm in this situation.
So he turns his attention to Ryoji.]
Right now, it's more important that we get you home. You know that you won't be able to help in the condition you're in.
[A brief pause and a breath, quiet but not silent.]
After we tend to your injuries, I'll come back and see if I can help at all. Until then, we'll have to have faith that someone will be able to stop him.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-13 12:51 am (UTC)... Don't go in there.
[ It's not so much a request as it is an order. He'll... stop you himself, if you go back, bro. ]
[1/2]
Date: 2011-03-13 01:01 am (UTC)[2/2]
Date: 2011-03-13 01:04 am (UTC)But he does dip his head, a bit of a nod. He won't go, not unless he's needed. There are more important things for him to tend to right now.]
...Let's go get you cleaned up.
[They're getting much closer to the dorm now; far enough away from the carnival that it can no longer be seen.]

Date: 2011-03-13 03:11 am (UTC)And then he gets a glass of water and sets it in front of him with a clink.]
...I'll find the first aid kit. Just drink what you can.
[And on his way to find that first aid kit he turns on the stove for the kettle; tea will follow the water. His mind is already sorting through what needs to be done: Ryoji's injuries need to be tended to, the messes need to be cleaned up, Ryoji needs to be cleaned up (and maybe sent to rest), and...Vriska's body. He can't just leave her there in good conscious, but what to do about that?
But first, the first aid kit.
Be right back, Ryoji. :c]
