On the Road Again...

[mercwamouth]

[Four people are picking their way through the darkness, following a glowing bubble of gold and blue light. The light runs along a wire held by Mu, who is walking at the front, glowing gold. Next is Hei, who is glowing blue and looks pale--he's hallucinating badly. Last comes Deadpool, sans his usual red outfit and mask, his skin covered in scars and tumors, carrying a limp Misaki.]

Just stay awake Misaki, alright? No falling asleep. We're almost there.

Li... [She's not really coherent at this point, wax pale and sweating, her eyes open but not seeming to register anything in front of them.] What happened...?

That's not Li, Misaki, that's Hei. She doesn't seem like she's getting much better.

[Ignoring Deadpool and responding to Misaki] You're injured, likely in shock. I can't see well enough to tell.

We're heading for the b-- [Hei pauses and stumbles a bit before catching himself, forcing himself to focus.] --the ballroom. I think.

Heard about that place. Sounds like a good place to go. Shelter and clothes. Probably other guys too.

So how do we find this place? Everything looks the same and we can't really see well to boot.

I'm following my intuition.

...You really are a woman.

...

[Weak chuckle.] Don't underestimate a Saint.

[She stirs briefly, glaring at nothing in particular. She certainly sounds coherent.] Calling him a woman is hardly underestimating him, Hei. [Blink.] Where did the sky go?

[Smiles to himself.] Didn't...mean it that way, Misaki. [Stumbles again and briefly rubs his forehead.] The stars went out. But they'll be back. And until then we've got some light. [The glow around his outline intensifies a fraction.]

...Anyone know any traveling songs?

[ooc: Believe it or not, this was a pain in the butt to arrange]

Is that really appropriate?

[contract_star]

[Heavy sigh as he pushes his way through very tall, purple grass, vaguely watching the flashing blue insects darting above.] You're asking him?

[mercwamouth]

"A-nobody gonna take my car,

"I'm gonna race it to the grooooound..."

[Hope you don't mind some intrusion, because you guys just passed a wandering Ryotarou. He's got a flashlight! :D]

... Ehh..!? What— Misaki-san! [Stares for a minute.] What's going on?!

[contract_star]

[It takes Hei awhile to determine whether Ryotarou is real or not.]

Misaki was injured. We're heading for the ballroom. It'll have light.

[mercwamouth]

And clothes.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...what happened?

[lamb_of_gold]

The Gate happened, apparently.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Damn you all. M'fine.

[Ammy has been following Mu's scent and comes upon them just as they reach the ballroom.]

Like Yami's own darkness, this is. ...What has happened to Misaki Kirihara?

[mercwamouth]

She's a bit weak, but other than some hallucinations, I think she's doing better. She went into the Gate and was severely wounded when she got popped over here.

...

Damn, Ammy. You're fast.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Hallucinations? Goodness... [Sniffs at her.] Not one of those weevils she mentioned, no...the scent is different.

[She smiles.] I do try~

[lamb_of_gold]

I'd call you a Saint for managing to find us, but that would certainly sound strange out of my mouth.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Grins.] I know your scent well, Mu--it was really only a matter of following it.

[Sniffs at Misaki and a now-unconscious Hei. LOL BORDERLINE SELFCEST.] They will survive, yes, but they both need rest. [Noses at Hei.] This one is just worn out, but Misaki still has a poison running through her veins. It will work its way out eventually, but I would advise you to keep an eye on her until then.

[Has been following Mu's cosmo since he knows. He's almost pathetically glad to see people again when he finally reaches everyone. He's glowing reddish-pink and it's hard to tell if that's all that's causing him to look abnormally pale.] I starting to think I was the only one here.

[mercwamouth]

You ARE!! We're just figments of your IMAGINATION!!!

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Doesn't want to think about something like that, thanks.] Does anyone know what's happening?

[lamb_of_gold]

Welcome to our temporary abode.

The bear. [Shivering under the sleeping bag.] The bear is glowing. God it's cold.

[Jack has been traveling through the darkness with his torch, sort of keeping to himself. He walks into the ballroom, attracted by the light]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Came to about twenty minutes ago and has been feigning sleep ever since, because everyone around her has turned into giant, sleeping Gate-creatures >< Jack might notice the GREAT BIG BRUISE ON HER NECK. Thanks a lot Deadpool.]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

<[Jack does notice, when he sees Misaki, and is now approaching] What the hell happened?

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

[Guess who else has found everyone as he wanders around glowing slightly] Finding shelter was a good.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Giant gold glowing ram. Misaki sort of stares for a minute.]

...well that's different.

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

[Notices your starting Misaki] Do you need something?
