[Guess who's been wandering the plane since he woke up after the fight with Ryotarou, trying to find a place where people aren't? Okay, more like staggering, but you get the point.

In any case, after several attempted refuges--each abandoned in turn after someone appeared at a distance--Firo has settled on the old theater. He's sitting with his back to the stage under the projector, his feet against the first row of chairs. Healthy he is not. He's shivering non-stop now, his skin unnaturally hot to the touch, his eyes completely unfocused. There's still a massive slash in his clothing where Ryotarou's sword-thing cut him.]

I can't... I won't... not goin' back... don't want to hurt....

[And guess who's been following Firo for a little while now? He follows him into the theater and stops off to the side and behind him, well out of stabbing distance.]

You stabbed Ryotarou.

[It takes him a full fifteen seconds to register who you are, Hei.] I didn't... don't remember.

[ Enter the stupid girl who can't follow instructions. She's keeping her distance and watching, though, a very worried look on her face. ]

[SOMEONE IS NOT HAPPY WITH YOU but he's going to test the insanity waters first before reacting too much]

Firo?

[contract_star]

No, I suppose you wouldn't.

[Stares at Firo for awhile.] He's alright, mostly. It wasn't really your fault. But if you lose it like that again, I'm going to have to stop you.

[Approaches very cautiously and just watches]

[LKAJSDASLDJ panic time now. It takes a bit for him to realize who she is, but when he does, he's scooting away, shaking.]

[Dooooesn't even hear you, Doc.]

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

Please. Don't want to... hurt anyone. Just... can't stop.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[a little stronger, coming closer] Firo. Someone is hurt because of you and that makes you dangerous. Now tell me what's wrong.

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

[Staaaring into space now.]

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

I didn't mean to... [He sounds foggy and distant.] It wasn't me... they keep... and they won't stop.

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

I-I'm sorry, I just wanted to see if you were all right. I'll go. I'm sorry. [ She backs away, looking upset. ]

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

Firo?

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

[His expression clears. He looks worried, now, and somehow more child-like. When he speaks, it still sounds very much like him--but also very much younger.] Ma? You okay?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[In human form! Ammy is displeased, though she's mostly displeased with herself.]

Firo. You are losing yourself; you are becoming dangerous.

[contract_star]

[Heavy sigh.] I know you don't. But that doesn't change things.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[he's still not happy his friend was bleeding everywhere] What's happened, Firo? Tell me about it.

[ Crap. Good going, Angela. He sounds like a kid, she doesn't want to know what the outcome would be if "ma" took off now. She knows she shouldn't, but she goes to him, and sits, resting a hand on his head. ] I'm fine. Don't worry.

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

[Convulsive shiver.] Don't remember. I didn't mean to. I keep...

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

[He goes down on his knees and lays a hand on her forehead. His hand is far too warm to be healthy.] Oh ma... You dosed again?

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

Don't let me. [Hello, a moment of lucidity.] Please. Don't want to hurt anyone.

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

[ Angela frowns with worry. He's burning up, just like she was... ] No, no, I'm all right. You're the one I'm worried about.

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

[Dazed blink. He squints at Dino--and his face lights up.] Luck! I thought you weren't gonna come.

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

[Blinks at her.] I don't want to die. But they want out. I think it's... they want out.
