--llo? Someone? Any--

[ The feed starts, showing someone's shoes, and a small, bright red ferret blinking up. The view quickly changes as Bolin ditches the communicator in favor of his friend, finally coming into view, addressing--yes, that's right, the ferret. He's talking to the ferret. ]

Pabu! Oh, you have no idea how good it is to see you, buddy. Do you know if Mako's around? I can't find--

[ He's interrupted by the sound of trash cans falling over. He turns quickly, coming face-to-face with one of the larger local monsters. And boy does it look happy to see him, jaws wide and claws ready. Bolin doesn't seem concerned as he shifts into a stance, raising an arm up to punch at the air, towards the monster.

Nothing happens.

Bolin stands there shocked, no--horrified, as the monster's teeth sink into his arm.

What happened to his bending?

The pain seems to snap him back to reality, and he shoves the monster off, turning to run. Pabu, bless his soul, nabs the communicator and scampers after Bolin--climbing onto his shoulder once he catches up. The feed is bumpy for a while, little paws on the screen with a lovely picture of the sky.

Once he's lost the monster he stops, crouching low behind some rubble to catch his breath. ]

Just what is this place?

[ He waves it off, looking away from the camera. His jaw sets. ] Look, there's a hospital 'round town someplace. I passed it I think.

This phone thing's got a map. Better look at it. [ He scratches his head and shrugs half-heartedly, staring down into the camera. ] Definitely look at it. You're covered in red.

[ He motions to him. As though he didn't know already. Captain obvious. ]

This is a phone? It's...it's nothing like a phone! Where are the wires, and...[ You know actually looking at the communicator now, instead of just talking to it-- ]

[ HOLY SHIT THERE IS A MOVING PICTURE. ON THIS THING. Whaaaaaaaaaat?? ]

Y-Yeah, covered in red....[ Staring..... ]

[ Squuuuuiiiiiiint. ] What're you, stupid or somethin'? [ Mayday, Shizuo's calling you stupid. ] 'Course there's a moving picture, it's a video. [ Waves in front of the feed quickly to demonstrate. ]

And my video's tellin' me you're gonna bleed out or something. Or attract more animals. Or die. So just like, wrap something around it. Are there plants around? [ Best medical advice. ]

Yeah, see, I have never seen a moving picture before, so...[ Still staring... ]

Okay, see, I don't want any of those things to happen. No more animal-things, or dying, so...yeah. [ Looking around. ] And I don't see any plants. Don't...really think I could wrap this up myself, anyway.

Well if you don't die in the process, you could get your ass to the hospital.

[ He lifts a shoulder in a shrug. ] Or the apartments. That's where it's safe apparently. S'where I'm goin'.

Follow the map, it's not hard. It's coloured and easy to get. Got someone to help?

I'm not going to die! [ Ahhhhh please he doesn't want to die. ]

And I'll...head towards one of those places as soon as I figure out how to get to the map on this thing. [ So many buttons what do. ] And...I guess, a few people have offered to come pick me up, so.

Sure, 'cause that wound looks just peachy. [ He shakes his head. ]

Listen, you press this button thing and it brings this thing up. You look at that. And the big building is the hospital. [ God, he is so fucking helpful. ] Just... it's already colour coordinated, bring it up.

[ Looks a little calmer, scratching his head. ] That's good. Dunno where you are, but there's a girl there... [ Think, Shizuo, think, you said you'd remember this one. ] Doc-san. She seems helpful.

[ He's going to have to mull over that one... ]

I-It'll be fine, okay? [ It's gotta be fine! ]

Okay, okay. So I just press buttons until I find it. [ Pressing buttons...which switches this to audio. Aha! A map! ] Hey, I think I found it. The big building...yeah, okay. I'll head there now.

Doc-san? That's kind of a weird name, but. I guess I'll keep an eye out for her.

You know it. They'll patch you up. Probably.

I made that name up. Her real one's...

Sapporo.

Sakumo?

No it's...

Sakura. Yeah, that.

Probably? That's, uh...not very reassuring.

Sakura. Got it.

Good luck, kid.

Yeah...Thanks. I'll probably need it.
