[black_onslaught]

[There is a Ragna coming into town from the forest after an exhausting weekend of running around on a wild goose chase. And failing. As he comes into range of the town, one might catch sight of him limping around and slamming the side of his fist into a tree.]

Shit. [Punch.] Shit. [Punch.] Shit!

[Then he promptly collapses to his knee from lack of

[kakeravoyager]

[Bern will come from her way back from the library, after picking up some more books to continue her research. She can easily just teleport back into her home, but taking some time in for peaceful silence is nice. Rarely is there a time of peace in such a chaotic fragment.

Then she sees a guy who looks like he's on the verge of death. Oh joy. She'll walk up until she's about a yard away.]

I can only assume you've had an eventful few days. [Yeah she isn't concerned. Maybe someone dying could be fun to watch.]

[action]

[black_onslaught]

[Ragna looks over to Bern with an angry face. But that face quickly turns into "what".]

... Rika?

[action]

[kakeravoyager]

[Rika? This again.]

I think you may be hallucinating. I am not Rika. My name is Bernkastel. [...] Would it be rude if I asked what happened to you?

[action]

[black_onslaught]

[He shakes his head, as if that would get rid of any hallucinations. Oh well.]

Yeah, it'd be rude. [Let's try to limp away now.]

[catus_carnival]

[This other retard catgirl was searching for Noel, but unlike Ragna, she got food and sleep. GOOD JOB. Tao spots him while doing her search in the village and will be pouncing to his side VERY QUICKLY. Probably the first and only time you'll ever see SRS BSNS Tao.]

[black_onslaught]

[Well, Ragna glances over to Tao for a quick moment, before returning his gaze to the ground as he attempts to stand up. Which is taking quite some time.]

[catus_carnival]

[Gawd. This is what you get for not eating and sleeping and whatnot. She will try to pull him up with those massive paws. Or something.]

[black_onslaught]

[That helps. Sorta.] Thanks.

[xelhes]

[Her normal policy is to leave large, muscled strangers alone when they are swearing and punching trees. It's just a personal preference. So, at first, moves off the streets and slightly behind a building when she sees his approach. She may want to get the groceries back to the electric icebox (refridgerator) before they get too warm, but nothing she's got there will spoil and it's certainly not worth getting into trouble.

When he collapses to his knees, though, it both catches her interest and her concern. She's not ready to approach him yet, as it will likely take another collapse for her sympathy to allow a cautious inquiry to his health. But if he carries on walking, he might notice that he's picked up a small blond stalker who fails at stealth. She's trying to keep out of sight, but she keeps peeking out at him and isn't very good at changing between cover.]

[black_onslaught]

[Oh. Ragna is used to blond stalkers.

Anyway, Ragna gets that feeling that he's being stalked. Which causes him to turn his head back to check. And he sort of catches sight of Fenimore, which prompts him to continue staring. Well. More like glaring.]

[xelhes]

Ah--! [That is not a promising expression, so she'll dart to one side until there's a building between her and him. Maybe if he can't see her, he'll forget she's there.]

[black_onslaught]

[He proceeds to turn his whole body to face the direction of Fenimore now.]

What are you doing?

[skulljokelol]

[For some odd reason, the Strawhats aren't very pleased with you, Ragna. Something about a little detail you forgot to mention.

In any case, Brook's on his way to see Nami at the clinic when he sees Ragna. He doesn't say anything just yet, simply walking over.]

[black_onslaught]

[He can't help if he forgets to mention important details. Ragna likes to be vague or assume things that bite him in the ass. It's who he is. ):

Give Ragna a change to notice that there's an afro overshadowing his body while he tries to get to his feet. He's a little spent.]

[skulljokelol]

[Who he is needs a BOOT TO THE HEAD from logic. 8|

Nevertheless, concern outweighs the immediate desire to get on his case. He thinks he knows why Ragna looks this way.] Have you been searching this entire time?

[black_onslaught]

[Well. Can't deny that at all.

Ragna flinches for a moment.] I couldn't find her. [That's as good as a "yes", right?]

[Action]

[vulcanblazer]

[Adell's out and about, flipping through his journal, hoping in vain to find any sort of peep from Noel or someone who may have heard anything. Hazama was powerful, but every fiber of this fighter was hoping she managed a way to escape.

But imagine his surprise when he catches sight of that familiar red coat. And bright white hair. Adell's going to rush over to him the moment he sees him falling to a knee. What had he been doing this whole time?]

Ragna!

[Action]

[black_onslaught]

[He's been running around for fun. Ragna looks over to Adell with a pained expression. Obviously, he wasn't enjoying this.]

What?

[Action]

[vulcanblazer]

[For what it's worth, Adell's going to offer a hand to help him stand up. Right now, he's not sure that words are going to do anything. His expression is serious, and if Ragna cares to tell, he could probably see Adell's been a bit worried about him.]

[Action]

[black_onslaught]

[Ragna sighs in relief. Good, no conversation needed right now, and he's thankful for that and the helpful hand.]
