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]

There is no Radio.

[Gives Misaki a concerned look and then notices the unconscious Hei and shfsjsjflsj] What happened?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I got hit by an apparently invisible truck.

[lamb_of_gold]

She was attacked by a gate monster and seemingly poisoned. Hei had a bout of hallucination.

[That's just going to worry Shun more] They'll recover, right?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I'm fine. [:\ STOP IGNORING HER, DAMMIT.]

[lamb_of_gold]

I think so. Hei just needs to sleep and Misaki needs to work it out of her system.

It's quite a relief to speak to someone well within the realms of sanity.

[Think so doesn't really comfort him, but he'll trust Mu.] That's good..

Are things really that bad?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

He's a parrot. Parrots are dramatic by nature.

[lamb_of_gold]

Likely not, but I'm frustrated by this.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

A..parrot?

How long have you been dealing with this?

[lamb_of_gold]

Shes' seeing things.

Since we were drawn here.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Is there anything we can do to help her?

How long has it been? It's so hard to tell...

[lamb_of_gold]

None that I've found. She'll metabolize it eventually.


About two days now.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

So all we can do is wait?

[lamb_of_gold]

Exactly.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Doesn't look happy about that] I hope we don't end up waiting long.
