[VIDEO/TEXT] ☠ Heartful Cry

[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. ))

[ It's a good fifteen minutes before Terezi replies. She's trying to let all of this sink in. Vriska never reached out to her once, but she left this human a message? ... That's a little harsh. ]

[ She switches to video, and it's obvious she's laying on a bed, still barely half-conscious and covered in bandages. She's awake and healed, but no one's removed her wrappings just yet. They still cling to her face with dried, teal blood.

She's still weak. ]

I know nothing about that...

[ She smiles, but whether it's because of what he said or out of reflex is unknown. ]

Okay... so I didn't know that...

[ The smile is a bit more genuine, the best she can manage, her dead eyes looking a little glassy. ] Are you meaning to tell me that--

[ And even as she shows that little bit of sentimentality, her lips tip upward, spreading that smile even wider. Good human. You better not be lying to her. ]

--how? How will she come back? You better... not be lying to me, or I really will slit your throat.

[ He switches to video, too. There's a ligature mark around his neck, and a lot of bandages around his chest, on top of some bandages on his head. He's not wearing a shirt because of it, and is also in bed at this point. He's not doing much better, but luckily he heals quickly, being what he is, and the cuts he had earlier had closed up already without needing stitches thanks to Minato's Diarahan. ]

I'm... not lying. I... honestly don't know. I know it has something to do with the same power that protects this place, though, then I can believe it. Death isn't permanent so long as the soul is kept. His spells couldn't bring her back but... he said it takes a week.

We'll just... have to wait.

And hope.

[ She really doesn't believe him at all. ]

If she's not back in a week's time...

[ God, she hates being fooled. She really hopes this isn't a prank. ]

Make no mistake. I will find a way to kill you.

[ Her smile turns dark. ]

And I'll enjoy it.

... If she isn't, I'll let you. I want to be right.

[ He honestly means it. ... It would be better off that way, anyway. ]

If you even can, anyway...

[ He doesn't mean it in a mocking way. It's honestly a little disheartened. He was... fairly certainly only two people in all of Vatheon could kill him: and they shared the surname of Arisato. ]

[omnomr3dch4lk.livejournal.com]

Make a promise with me then, ghost boy.

[ Yeah, she remembers you. ]

If she's not back a week from now, you're mine.

[ The implications of that? She'll leave vague. She has no idea if she can kill a Shadow, honestly. She'll try to find a way, but... owning him in one way or another is just as good. ]

[video]

[derparcana.livejournal.com]

... Fine.

[ At this point, he honestly doesn't care what it entails. He's already a slave to something, what's being owned by someone else, right...? ]

I... have no reason to think Minato would lie to me.

[video]

[omnomr3dch4lk.livejournal.com]

Fine.

[ And with that, Terezi switches the feed off.

She just hopes you're right. ]
