[ because apparently he's too tired today to make it a voice post. you can see the interior of a building, all-fancy like. he seems to be sitting on a piano bench, looking just slightly pained.. cheerily addressing the camera! ]

I think a part of me knew that this place was out for our blood. Though I didn't expect it to be so literal.

[ he is also bleeding profusely from a gash on his side, which dyes his shirt and pants red, but clearly you can ignore that. he certainly is. ]

I wonder how many corpses are piling up. Is there a cemetery here? I've never checked. [ a bit more seriously, here-- ] Or maybe the dead don't need graves. But if so many people are getting stabbed and there aren't any bodies to bury, it feels a little cheap.

[ a hand to his head. and then he laughs, a little. and then he frowns. maybe he's just slightly hysterical, though he's keeping that under wraps. a finger glances over the keys of the piano, and he presses a few of them disjointedly. twinkling notes. ]

Is there any way to get blood out from between the keys? I think I got a little in here.

[ just then, a small, mewing sound. the camera tilts down almost unconsciously, focusing on a small kitten licking a bloody stain on the leather bench. a hushing sound-- ] Shhh, don't drink that. You'll get sick--

[ the cat meows. a sigh-- feed cuts. ]

[Why the man was worrying more about the dead when he was bleeding all over was a mystery all it's own, but the grim imagery prompts a quick response.]

Sir? Where are you? Can you get medical attention, or will you need assistance?

[voice]

[bloodyperky]

[ pshaw, what's there to worry about, it's just blood-- ]

I don't think assistance would be needed-- and neither will medical attention, truthfully.

[voice]

[falenandawn]

Are you certain....? That could need stitches.....

[voice]

[bloodyperky]

I think I'm well aware of what it needs or not.

[classifidol]

To prevent further bloodstains on ivory, you may wish to relocate.

[video]

[bloodyperky]

Ah, that's a good suggestion. Though it might be a little problematic.

[video]

[classifidol]

Should you be referring to your current state, I will offer my assistance.

[ yes, really. That imperious tone is an offer. ]

[video]

[bloodyperky]

Well, thank you for your offer. [ if it was... an offer... ] But I'm afraid that wasn't what I was referring to.

[She's wearing down - there have been so many people getting stabbed, and she's been (rather ineffectually) trying to run to heal them all. When she speaks, her voice is out of breath.]

Where... are you?

[Video]

[bloodyperky]

[ he blinks at her for a moment. she looks... tired. ]

You should look after yourself, first.

[Video]

[saving_sound]

It's fine, I'm just... I've been running a lot.

I can come heal you.

[Video]

[bloodyperky]

[ ah. his eyes narrow just slightly. ]

And how many people have you healed already?

[capriciously]

I think I'm going to like this place because of that! [so obviously new! and maybe a bit of a sadomasochist, to boot.]

[bloodyperky]

[ welp, so very perky. have perkiness back-- ]

Stabbings do have a way of making things interesting, yes! Never a bored moment.

[capriciously]

[wow someone he likes right off the bat!]

Right? And watching everyone running around in panic is so entertaining!

[bloodyperky]

[ perky versus perky!!! askflj ]

Isn't it? Doesn't it make you want to join them?

[audio.]

[holmes_fanatic]

The cemetery's in Hel. So's the crematorium.

Has anyone sent a healer your way?

[audio.]

[bloodyperky]

Oh, how could I not have guessed.

And of course. A pack of them are coming over on flying horses as we speak.

[audio.]

[holmes_fanatic]

Any of them bringing you back to the hospital? There's a bed free in my room.

[When Eyes catches sight of this video on the network, and notes the number of minutes that have passed that allowed strangers to see his brother in this state, he can't help feeling a sense of anger inside him, quickly mingling with the beginnings of what he felt to be justified worry. If his questions could not be answered, it could actually evolve into panic.

Who had done this, and just how much of a thread had the person been that this could be done to Kanone? What he says gives little indication to his condition as well...] Tell me where you are.

[bloodyperky]

[ ........... it's the last person he wanted to see on video, and perhaps in visible defiance to his shame, he puts the video feed down. perhaps a little shakily. in a way, it accentuates the surreality of the situation, but in another, it makes him question this reality.

is that really eyes, speaking back at him? he doesn't know. ]

You're alive.

[bloodypocket]

[... What did he mean by 'alive?' Had he been erroneously informed that he had been one of the ones who had fallen victim to a stabbing today? But then, that wouldn't explain the wound or how Kanone could be so calm – he knew that his brother would not take well to any reports of him being injured at the hands of another.

None of that mattered for the time being, he simply had to find the other and find out what had happened to him before. Ask the right questions to find the answers he sought.] What does my being 'alive' mean to you, Kanone?

[survived]

[Shion looks particularly exhausted, but he's alert enough to be what could almost be called yelling into the screen anyway.]

Where are you right now? I'll come find you.

[bloodyperky]

[ ... ah, yelling. he blinks for a moment, before sighing a little-- ]

And then what? Drag me into a hospital?

[survived]

I can't do much, but I can help. [....] I'll try to heal you. It's all I can do right now.
