Post LXX [voice]

[13sugars]

[The voices are a bit muffled. There's a bit of shifting around for a second, before finally voices are made a bit more clear. Sounds like it's being spoken through some heavy fabric.]

... You already...

It hasn't been that long already, has it?

[A pause]

It hasn't been how long? [There's a childish giggle from a little boy, and then a soft

[... oh shi- you called him dad :<]

Nuh...

Nothing much? Ah.. I...

[Well?]

... Fell.

[13sugars]

[Oh now you've got Gohl disease.

Aaaand shit. Did not need anyone else to hear that, I guess "I fell down some stairs" is not gonna fly here]

Ah...

... It's not Xi.

[king_no_life]

WHERE ARE YOU.

[13sugars]

[akdjgfajksdgf Oh hello]

Just... a bit outside the warehouses or so.

... Don't... rush or anything.

[king_no_life]

[Rush HIS CADAVEROUS ASS.

There's a coven of bats that swarm the sky and blanket the moon just briefly to herald his arrival. In a flutter of a thousand leathery wings he drops at Abel's side, the smell of his blood pungent in the air.]

You wont drink to save you even an ounce of pain even if I offered it.

[A rhetorical question of course. The archaic father knelt just enough to gather his child up into his grasp as if he weighed little more than a feather. Let him feel a little shame.]

[13sugars]

[Boy howdy that was quick. Abel had collapsed a bit further outside the warehouse, his arms crossed tightly over his chest. The ribs ached viciously from where they'd snapped and halfheartedly sewn themselves back together. Blood was pumping sluggishly into open cavities as the nanos took their sweet time in shutting the internal wounds.]

You know me too well.

[He murmured softly, wincing as the man gathered him up. Well, his shame was more or less shot after he nearly got his heart literally torn out by a little boy here.]

[13sugars]

Ah...

I'm fine! Fine! I'll be okay, I just...

[derp]

Need some help... getting somewhere.

[the_police_girl]

[Seras had been doing her damnedest to learn this thing inside and out, so she had already been holding the communicator when this little message played. She'd tried to get over the network several times to him, but after no response for so long, she was about to just seek the man out.

Halfway between making the decision to make a mad dash for his location and actually making it to the door, he finally became reachable again.]

Father Abel! Wh-what's going on!?

[She's damn near tears and it's more than evident in her tone, her breathing a little panicked.]

[Voice]

[13sugars]

[OH CHRIST DON'T CRY. Abel is quick to answer, attempting to bury any hints of pain in his voice]

Nothing! Nothing, it's... fine! Everything is fine I just need...

To get to the hospital... for a moment.

[Voice]

[the_police_girl]

Ah'm on my way out th'door. [She's panting a bit, obviously on her way somewhere. She's comin' dude.]

I think I know how t'find your location, so I should be there soon. [She's got her police girl tone on too, all stuttering gone. She's determined.]

[Voice]

[king_no_life]

[And there's a stick interruption like the voice a Wrathful God.]

Go to the hospital.

Prepare a bed on the second floor.

I and this fool will meet you there.

F-Father Nightroad...?

Wh-why is it everyone I kn-know is in s-some sort of h-horrible situation?

P-please be alright!

Voice

[13sugars]

I-I'm fine! I...

...

I fell. Down... some stairs.

...

Big stairs.

[He's so bad at this.]

Voice

[sancta_sedes]

B-but that sound....

[13sugars]

[ffffffffff]

...

[There's a sigh. He's not mad at you. He's cross with the communicator and his chest hurts. Really. Bad]

You don't... have to be worried about me, Your Holiness. Really. I'll be at the hospital for a little bit... that's... that's all. Okay?
