Digiport 06

[Takeru appears on the Astral Plane, in his Kaiser outfit this time. He looks absolutely exhausted, and slightly singed. He sits down on the 'floor', hard, and stares up at the stars, a vaguely blank look on his face.]

They're wrong. They're wrong, and I'm doing the right thing.

[He puts a hand on the back of his neck and winces, before flopping his head into his knees.]

[Shun is going to note the strange outfit, but it's only clothing after all so he ignores it after a moment. He kneels next to Takeru, to check on him.] You don't look good.

[Fffft looks up and blinks for a few seconds, before staring at Shun.]

I'm fine. It's nothing I haven't dealt with before.

[Winces again and mutters something under his breath, sounding suspiciously like 'shut up'.]

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Blinks curiously at the last, but doesn't pry] Do you want to rest or anything? I know there's a hammock around here....

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

A hammock would be nice. Anywhere to just lie down would be appreciated.

[He's getting used to the nightmares but uuuugh they make it hard to sleep.]

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Stands] I can take you to it then. I don't think anyone really uses the hammock so no one should mind you borrowing it.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[Manages to stagger to his feet.] Lead the way.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Gives him a concerned look] This way..[Leads Takeru over to a hammock strung between two pillars, being careful to stay just close enough he can reach Takeru in case he falls or something.]

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[Follows and manages to get to the hammock. Collapses onto it and closes his eyes.]

Thank you. [Yawns.] You're sure you don't mind me using it?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, it's fine. [He's sure he can convince whoever it does belong of that anyway. Because, this is helping someone and he doesn't see why anyone wouldn't want to help.]

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[Because some people are jerks. Closes his eyes.]

All right. Mmm...

[Yeah, general sleepy noises. D'aww.]

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Is going to stay nearby to make sure no one disturbs him.]

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[Yay sleep. :> Too bad Takeru sleeps pretty badly. He's tossing and turning. :( ]

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[That has Shun concerned, although he isn't sure he should actually wake him up. He doesn't want Takeru falling out of the hammock though..]

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

I believe there are some rooms around here with beds for rest.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[Looks over. Uuuugh it's the psychiatrist.]

Yeah, I know. I'll get to those in a few minutes. Right now I just need to sit.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

If you prefer. I simply thought you might prefer some privacy.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

The thought's appreciated.

Mm. [Sigh.] It would be sort of pointless to escape the flames and end up right back in them when I go back. I wonder if it's possible to control where you end up when you leave the Plane?

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

You will have to direct that question at some of the Plane's more veteran citizens, I suspect.

But perhaps you would find yourself able to--equip yourself against the dangers your return to by searching for things on the Plane.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[Smirks.] I wonder if I can find a fire extinguisher. It would have to be a big one though, or else that stupid fire lizard thing is going to just set stuff on fire again.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

Something to knock the creature out might be of use? I would offer you one of the asylum's tranquillizer guns, but I don't believe Dr Arkham would approve of me giving those out to anyone outside of the asylum.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

That would be helpful. Hm.

... Maybe I can come up with something... at the very least, I can throw the fire extinguisher at him to try to knock him out.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

[couldn't hold back on a brief breath of laughter]

You could borrow clothing from the ballroom and throw it at the creature to distract it, then use the fire extinguisher. If you douse the clothing in water, they won't catch flame as easily, giving you more time.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

The problem is that it's smart. About the intelligence of a ten year old person, but smart. Unless I distracted its friends, too.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

Even intelligent opponents are surprised by damp period costumes thrown into their faces.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

... This is very true. [Chuckles.]

I'm just frustrated by all these setbacks.
