[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. ))

... KOW?

[ ... He is so embarrassed right now.

Yeah, that's... probably the last thing that should be on his mind, but he doesn't want to think about Vriska or whoever else may have died today. So he is, instead, embarrassed. ]

Y... you guys won't tell anyone about this... r-right?

FOW?

[Akihiko gives him a look]

We're going to take you to a hospital as soon as we can. For now, we're going to substitute with what we have.

MEOW?

[messianic]

[A nod, and Minato reaches out to help pull the sleeves of Ryoji's shirt off very carefully, so that they can slip the rest off. And a reassuring look.]

It'll be fine, Ryoji-kun.

... I feel like we're going in circles--

[derparcana.livejournal.com]

[ ... A nod. He'll just... let them do whatever they've got to do.

This is SO embarrassing, but he does what he can, and finally it's off. He winces slightly, but doesn't say anything.

All he can think of is... Vriska. And so he sits in solemn silence. ]

i think we are ~

[Akihiko stares at him for a moment before glancing up to meet Ryoji's eyes. His voice, which is still calm, is hushed.]

What happened?

...s'all good. Circles are better than triangles.

[messianic]

[Minato simply remains silent, looking over Ryoji's injuries--the Diarahan really didn't do much at all, did it? ...How unfortunate. He knows that he tried, but it's still hard to swallow--

Nonetheless, he doesn't say a word to Akihiko's question. He knows the answer, of course, but...He told Ryoji he wouldn't tell. And Minato will always do his best to keep his word.

And so he simply waits patiently, readying the medical supplies. Bandages, warm water, antiseptic--]

Because have you ever seen a stagecoach with triangular wheels--

[ ... Ryoji coughs a bit--black blood into his own hand. Then he tries to speak. ]

... 'Tacked. Dunno... who. 'E... killed 'er. Vriska.

[ That's... all he'll say, and he hopes it'll satisfy Akihiko. ]

triangles are sharp, man

Vriska?

[He lets out an irritated sigh. At home, secrets about something like this wouldn't be kept. They all trusted each other, didn't they? And Ryoji...

He didn't know who this 'Vriska' was, but something must be coming in the way to prevent Ryoji from telling Akihiko anything else.]

Minato, you'll need to be careful of Ryoji's neck, and it looks like he may have a few broken or fractured bones.

[He stands, narrowing his brow to determine what to do next before walking to the kitchen and getting a cup of water for Ryoji.]

[messianic]

[He simply nods in response, offering Ryoji the handcloth for the blood he spit up solemnly.]

I tried a Diarahan when I found him, senpai. It...only healed most of the outer injuries, it seems.

wow I totally forgot about this

[derparcana.livejournal.com]

[ He looks down. ]

She's...

[ Someone he cares a lot about. And with that, he just falls silent. ]
