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. ]

I probably don't need to tell you this, but don't move.

[He doesn't see very many trees, so Gin deduces he's probably at Spero.]

Are you near the docks. Tell me if you see any buildings nearby.

Gin... [ He huffs a little, wanting to sit up, but just stays down. ]

Haaah... I don't know. It's sandy. There's a building. [ Give him a moment to squint. ]

I see a tower. Some kind of... tall thing. It's annoying.

That's enough, Heiwajima. [He doesn't sound concerned at all, but his voice is firm and commanding.]

... the Radio Towers in Discedo.

Just wait.

[ He grunts in reply; he's never felt so sick before, maybe talking wasn't helpful.

So he just lays there on the beach, roasting from another fever. ] Nothin' else... I can do.

[ He gives a half-hearted attempt to cover an ear, the high-frequency is gnawing at his patience. ]

[Gin will head off to search the shipyard first, intending to narrow the search down to the parts of Discedo closest to the water from which the radio towers are in view.]

[ Unfortunately not, but he's rather close to this radio tower. A little more to the left, Gin.

Shizuo is stubbornly attempting to rise regardless, managing to sit up and stay up. ]

[And he'll continue his search, further away from the shipyard, where the tower could still be seen, although he might be going the opposite direction...]

[ Gin... stop being adorable and go the right way. ] Ugh...

Get the fuck away from me. [ His voice sounds distant. He's talking to the seagull. ]

[Whatwhat, how is Gin adorable—

Of course, a predator's ears are very discerning, able to pick out the faintest sound its quarry makes, even among all manner of background noise.

Although Shizuo is not quite prey, for the purpose of this hunt, he'll treat him as such. And pick out his faint voice among the noise, he does.

He'll turn back and head off in the right direction, moving as silently as possible. It barely takes any effort, really, it's simply his nature when hunting.]

[ Shizuo, while patiently awaiting Gin's arrival, manages to crawl - actually crawl - to the shade of the radio tower, pressing his back to it, slumped against its base.

His head is hanging, a hand's clutching the fabric of his shirt over his stomach and he's panting heavily, eyelids weighted. He simply wants to crawl into bed and lay there for the rest of his life; what a baby.

He won't hear Gin as he approaches. The mosquito-like high-frequency is deafening to his sensitive ears. ] Fuck...

[Eventually, he'll start to hear the sound of Shizuo dragging his body too, but he won't comment on it until he traces the path he's left behind.

He'll approach him from the opposite side of the tower, perhaps with the intent to spook him.] ... I thought I told you not to move.

[ That may have been a bad idea. The spooking works, maybe too well.

Adrenaline skyrocketing, Shizuo is up on his feet in a flash, startled, eyes wide. With the confusion comes irritation and the fingers used to brace himself against the tower dig into the metal like butter. Oh, his power is back... ]

Don't. Sneak. [ He's speaking in clipped sentences, obviously trying to get a handle on himself. It's hard to do with the flu. ] Up. On. Me.

[Gin takes a step back, a look of wide-eyed shock breaking his calm for a moment, before disappearing. He glances briefly at the dented metal before looking him in the eyes.]

Forgive me. [It's hard to tell whether or not he's being sincere, with that unchanging tone of his. Still, it's not mocking like it was before.

Such a destructive and inhuman ability would have doubtlessly been controlled, if not sealed away entirely, by the scientists.]

You got your chip out.

...

Can you tell me at least what your surroundings look like?
[See this kind of things wouldn't happen if you tagged along with her and drinked. Unless you have been drinking, then again you made such a complaint about it.

She can hear the water, so that's really the only place she was sure about. Did this place have a ocean? Oh wait, wasn't there some kind or port or something around?]

Has anyone come to got you yet?

[ Shizuo says nothing as he focuses on drawing sharp inhales into his lungs and expelling them in a shuddery pant. He does remove his hand from the tower, though, to stare down at it incredulously, eyebrows furrowing. ]

Shit, the... this wasn't supposed to happen yet. [ He staggers and slaps himself carefully on the cheek as though waking himself up. He lifts his eyes to peer at Gin hazily, blinking hard. ] You got here fast...

By a tower... somewhere. [ He stakes a deep breath, trying to give her the impression he's alright. ] Gin's here. [ A pause. ]

I don't want you to see. My chip's out. I don't want you here. [ It's for her benefit! Though, Shizuo's always been pretty rude. ]

[Too late for that because you know...kinda already asked for help.]
If you still need help that's no option.

You're in no position to tell me that if you're severely hurt.

[ Shizuo stares down into the camera. ] I'm not, shit doesn't even hurt...

I'm just... sick. I feel like I'm gon' puke. [ The dizzy look demonstrates this. ]

They took the chip. My strength...

You sound more like you're pregnant than anything.
[Which she's pretty sure is impossible for a male...well, least far as she knows.]

Chip? Oh that...
[So, this is what happens when you get it out? Well, probably like her hangover when she gets to drunk. Didn't seem that bad.]

No reason for me to stay away if you're just feeling ill like that. Probably just need to sleep it off on the couch for awhile. I can be over there soon.

You were making a lot of noise.

It wasn't hard to find you, after I followed the tips you gave. [A crow caws in the distance, settling on the roof of the building Shizuo saw.]

What's the last thing you remember.

[ Eyebrow twitch. ] I'M NOT PREGNANT.

[ Huff huff oh that yell took a lot out of him. ] I'm not... safe. Listen. Gin's here, I can contact you later when I'm somewhere not here.

Then maybe I'll tell you where I am... [ He wipes his forehead. ] I can talk. But I don't... bein' around me's dangerous.

[ His eyes are immediately drawn to the crow and he leans heavily against the foundation, staring up. ] Fuck... [ He thinks on this a moment, straining to remember. ] I don't... I'm not sure, my head's all...

I got here somehow. I can't re- [ He pushes off the building, makes it around the corner and crouches. He empties his stomach onto the sand and heaves a little, spitting and gasping. ]

I can't... remember anything. [ Shizuo spits again and sways as he stands, taking a step back. ] Pain, I guess. Black. Nothin'.

[Gin watches without making a move to help him, expression unchanging.

He doesn't even say a word.]

Makes you... wanna get your chip out, don't it... [ Sniffs derisively.

He turns to the silent Gin, face thankfully clean, expression flat despite his turmoil. ]

Where are we.

H-heiwajima-san! [She is sounding so worried!] A-are you all right? What happened?
