Mission 9: [Accidental Video]

[argentimperator]

[For a moment, the PCD just shows black from where it clattered to the ground. Then the black, apparently the black leather of Sephiroth's coat, slips away from the camera. The angle is weird and awkward, but it's not hard to see that Sephiroth is.... not in good shape. His materia bangle is clutched in his left hand, one of the materia on it just

... Sephiroth-san?

[argentimperator]

[Oh shit. Gaia damn it, the PCDs really are malicious things. He didn't want anyone to see this. Especially not her.]

I'll be fine.

[bunny_flower]

What happened?

[argentimperator]

I was attacked. I do not believe the one who did it was entirely responsible for their own actions.

[Another cough but this one isn't as bad.]

[Video] He is gonna be doing so much yelling this week

[reflectivedawn]

[Big brother, he is going to kill you.]

What in the hell did you do? Get into a fight with a land mine?

[Seriously, Sephiroth. Seriously.]

Nevermind. Where are you?

[So he can come heal your ass before you die.]

[Video] This is so not Seph's fault. Blame the Master. Line for kicking his ass forms behind Rei.

[argentimperator]

[Hey, he just went to a lot of effort to not get killed, thanks.]

A land mine would have done less damage.

[He reaches a bit stiffly and awkwardly to retrieve his PCD, hitting the button to send Riku his coordinates without argument. He's pretty sure arguing wouldn't be worth it.]

[Video -> Offline] Nope, sorry. He's more worried about yelling at Seph and Hanna. :|

[reflectivedawn]

I'll be right there.

[Be lucky your little brother is fast, Sephiroth. And that he has the best heal stats in the game. Be luckier that he's used to Hanna's accident's and Sora being Sora enough by now to keep supplies around the house.

So when he finally arrives, it's with a bag slung over his shoulder. He skids to a halt in front of the other, before kneeling down in front of him.]

Did or did I not tell you to be careful?

[Offline] Seph needs earplugs, man. Okay if Jr. jumps in on this somewhere down the line?

[argentimperator]

[The damage that was shown on the PCD before looks... about half healed. Of course, that's the visible damage. Given the positioning of that hole in his chest and the way he was coughing up blood earlier....]

I'm still alive, aren't I? I was attacked from behind by a powerful opponent.

[books_n_battle]

Sephiroth?! What the hell-nevermind. Where are you?

[argentimperator]

[Oh for gaia's sake. Any other members of his not-family want to show up and flip their shit? Just make a line, please. Sephiroth doesn't even bother to respond out loud, just hits the button.]

[ff_red_turk]

... Who did that?

[Because holy shit, he's never seen Sephiroth in that shape unless he'd just taken one of Cloud's Omnislash right in the face.]

[Private/Unhackable] Sephiroth is so going 'fml' here.

[argentimperator]

[There's a small splatter of blood from Seph's damaged arm as he puts a filter on this.] Ulquiorra Cifer. The attack was...unlike him. I believe he was being influenced.

[Private/Unhackable]

[ff_red_turk]

Ulquiorra.

He's perfectly capable of it, but I've never seen him do that before.

[Private/Unhackable]

[argentimperator]

Yes. We're an even match in a fair fight.. [Which is still strange but welcome to Sephiroth.] but he attacked from behind and managed to both wound me and remove my materia bangle. Whatever is affecting him clearly hasn't impaired his tactical skills.

[buntails]

Sephiroth!

[Have one worried Usagi.]

You have to get to the clinic right away! Do you need help getting there?

[Video]

[argentimperator]

[He was not quite expecting this much fuss when he realized the PCD was recording, to be honest. Sephiroth is not quite used to having more than two friends yet.]

Riku and Jr. seem intent on the same destination for me. [He doesn't wanna go to the clinic...] I imagine they will be making sure I reach it. I'll be fine, Usagi. It's not as bad as it looks.

[He's a damn liar.]

[Video]

[buntails]

Are you really sure? Please be Ok.

[She worries, Sephiroth. Especially about friends.]

But if you go to the clinic... Unohana-san can definitely take care of it.

[argentimperator]

This level of damage is admittedly new to me, but I've been injured in the past and I heal more quickly than most people. I'll be alright. I...promise.

[He is not used to making promises and it shows.]
