03 [video] I once was lost.

[ When the communicator turns on, you are immediately able to tell that Shizuo is in some kind of distress.

Not because you can see him, all you seem to be looking at is an expanse of sky and a few blond hairs like he's laying next to the device. The hoarse breathing and disoriented muttering is a dead giveaway though and he doesn't look like he's ready to walk around for a while yet. This might be because he's trying to sort out what happened in his head, but frustrated groaning signifies he hasn't had much luck.

A seagull circles him, perhaps a hint to where he is. Near water of some sort, the lapping of waves against something is making a noticeable sound in the receiver. The shoulder of a crumpled white shirt comes into view finally, his face following suit. He decided to sit up after all. ]

... I need... [ He closes his eyes and rubs at one of them tiredly; his voice is husky, he's pale, shaking, sweating, his hair is in complete disarray and there seems to be dried blood on his collar. ] I need help. Don't know what happened...

[ Shizuo never asks for help, but this time seems different. ] Don't know where I am. Don't know how I got here. I was... where was I... I can't feel anything.

[ With that he lays back down, slowly but surely, to wait for a reply. ]



[ Shizuo has gotten his chip removed anonymously! He's experiencing the removal sickness and his abilities, if angered, will go haywire, but other than that there are no other symptoms present. He just doesn't know where the fuck he is, but he hasn't looked at his map.

Edit: Gin found him! Everything but action is welcomed so hard. ]

Teacher... you mentioned him a lot, who is that?

W-well, it's ah...China.

[shortestfuse]

Eh? Oh that guy. I met him. [ He nods, humming hoarsely. ]

He's the one gettin' married, huh. I was invited to his wedding and some festival.

[meilihua]

[Be her +1, Shizuo!!]

Yes, I'm really excited about him getting married! The dragon boat festival is soon too, it's going to be really fun.

[ WHEIFUSDJVKNX TOO CUTE. Watch, he's not confident enough to ask. ]

Weddings are nice. Festivals are too. I've never been to any though.

[ A pause. ] Maybe I'll see you at them.

[meilihua]

Y-yeah, definitely! You should try to be in the dragon boat racing contest! I have to make prizes for the winners!

Ah... I don't know, it'd be like cheating.

[Video]

[meilihua]

[She wants to see you row, Shizuo...]

W-well, there's a lot of really strong people here. Maybe you'll find a friend?

[Video]

[shortestfuse]

... [ A friend, fffffff. She likes kicking every single one of his feels in the right way. Oh she'll see him row alright. ]

I'll think about it probably. I don't need to meet anyone to do it. [ He doesn't know what is happening right now. ]

[Video]

[meilihua]

Well, sometimes it's nice to meet new people...

[Hope springs eternal, Taiwan...]

[Video]

[shortestfuse]

Yeah, I mean... some people are fine. [ Coughyoucough, he grumbles. ]

[Video]

[meilihua]

[She doesn't speak cough!] Well, if you don't go out and talk to them, then you never know, right?

[Video]

[shortestfuse]

Yeah you're right.

I think you're more outgoing.

[ He smiles. ]

[Video] - feel free to drop, if you want to!

[meilihua]

[Ah, he's so handsome when he smiles- UM-]

W-well, yeah, I mean, it's good to smile at new people! Every stranger is a possible friend!

Uh. We're friends, then?
