On the Road Again...

[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: (had a hard day)

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

[Groans weakly and covers her ears.]

[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: (not what it seems)

[personal profile] contract_star 2008-08-19 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[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.

And four walls.

I'm fine. I'm... [Lalala, there goes her focus~]
contract_star: (not what it seems)

[personal profile] contract_star 2008-08-19 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Rubs at his forehead and shakes his head.] Deadpool. Shut up.

Misaki. How are you doing?
contract_star: (had a hard day)

[personal profile] contract_star 2008-08-19 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Makes a swipe at some of the purple grass until he remembers it's not real.]

Food will be an issue.

You're not fine. Just stay awake, alright? Try to keep talking.

[identity profile] saythistostart.livejournal.com 2008-08-19 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[And Ryotarou looks worried for both Hei and Misaki, while also kind of cautious of costumeless-Deadpool and Mu thank you for the paranoia, Zeronos. An idea comes to him, though.]

If that's what you need, you could take ZeroLiner. ... It doesn't have any clothes, and it's not really very big, but...
contract_star: (don't bother me i'm eating)

[personal profile] contract_star 2008-08-19 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Ignore him. [Sighs.] Let's take the train.

[identity profile] chasingstars201.livejournal.com 2008-08-19 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
God, kill me now. [PROBABLY WOULD BE FUNNIER if she didn't sound so spacey.]
lamb_of_gold: (Srs bzns.)

[personal profile] lamb_of_gold 2008-08-19 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
I agree. How do I retract this wire?

[identity profile] chasingstars201.livejournal.com 2008-08-19 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
I don't want to keep talking. I'm tired of talking. I'm tired of people talking at me and telling me to keep talking...
lamb_of_gold: (Hi~)

[personal profile] lamb_of_gold 2008-08-19 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
I do believe we're attempting to avoid that particular outcome, but if the alternative is this? I may just do you the favour.

[identity profile] chasingstars201.livejournal.com 2008-08-19 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
There's someone screaming in my head, Hei. Kill him, please?

[identity profile] saythistostart.livejournal.com 2008-08-19 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Looks worriedly at Misaki, but there are now train sounds in the distance! Soon you may see the headlights getting closer, but ZeroLiner (http://i34.tinypic.com/10wtdf9.jpg)'s still a bit aways.]

... It should be here soon.
contract_star: (so die artfully)

[personal profile] contract_star 2008-08-19 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[The ZeroLiner's headlights are bouncing and changing colors. It cuts a swath through the purple grass, scattering Gate monsters and odd-looking insects.]

Here. [Gives a tug on the wire and it retracts back into Hei's belt, losing its glow as it goes. Hei remains lit up like a sonic screwdriver, though~]

I would, but we might need to kill him and use him for firewood later, so I'd hate to be wasteful now. [Flinches a bit as a particularly close Gate monster takes a snap at him, two-inch teeth clicking together only inches away.]
contract_star: (you could come with me)

[personal profile] contract_star 2008-08-19 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
I know. It's annoying, isn't it? But you can stand to be a bit annoyed right now, if it keeps you awake.
