41. [Accidental Voice/Action]

[capital_justice]

[Death is painful. That much is obvious and very true. But Flynn is discovering that returning from the dead is no cakewalk either. Waking up somewhere in the forest that he didn't recognize didn't make this any easier on himself either. But he decided that he should try returning home, regardless of how he physically felt. He can worry about what

[Voice-What is a filter?]

[rabidrapido]

[Repede was resting in Yuri's room, with his journal sprawled open nearby. His ears twitch at the familiar voice. Could...could it be? He raises his head, glancing at the journal]

Woof, woof! [That barking may or may not be loud enough to confuse a bunch of people in the house while he's at it.]

[Voice-Probably a type of food.]

[capital_justice]

[Flynn would recognize that barking from anywhere!] ... Repede?

[Voice-Is it tasty? ]

[rabidrapido]

[Repede starts whining, pawing at the book. Where the heck are you~? 8(]

[Voice-Probably not.]

[capital_justice]

[Okay. That's Repede. That's a good thing.] Repede, can you try to find someone to help?

[Like Yuri. Where the hell is Yuri.]

[Sasuke is out on a walk. After such a long time cooped up in bed healing up after the draft and malaria, he is really enjoying to be up and about again. He has probably walked a little further than he strictly should in his still somewhat frail condition.

His condition, however, doesn't stop him from appearing seemingly out of nowhere, standing on the underside of a branch with his arms crossed. Or 'hanging' may be a better term, since he's upside down and everything. Either way, don't mind him, he's just passing through. He did hear that message, though, and is peering down at Flynn from his tree expressionlessly. He doesn't see any blood, man. Why you so helpless.]

The village isn't far.

[Action]

[capital_justice]

[Hey, at least Sasuke didn't die. :C

Flynn looks up, quite surprised to see someone hanging upside down from a tree with their feet. That's... awfully physically impossible. But he's too tired to question it. It seems pointless right now. The important part would be what he said.]

It's not? [Was he really that close to the village before sitting down and waiting for a rescue?] How close is it?

[Action]

[sasukelogic]

[Of course he didn't, which is why he is bounding around trees right now, talking to squirrels doing manly training.

That question is rather relative, though. Kishimoto's brand of ninja could easily cover it in only a couple of minutes, but Flynn didn't seem quite so agile at the moment. Since he can't tell him in travel time, Sasuke will just have to make a rough estimate.]

A kilometer, perhaps.

[Action]

[capital_justice]

[A kilometer... The way he feels right now, it seems like even that is too much for him. He doesn't want to risk collapsing around here, at least.]

I see. [A brief pause.] I thought I might have been further out.

[Private - totally hacked that message 8|]

[mikangirl]

[...]

...Flynn.

[Private - so cruel]

[capital_justice]

[He's trying to remember whose voice this was, because it surely wasn't someone he filtered the message to. It sounded like Nami. If it was her, then why did she answer? He's sure that he didn't filter to the message to her.]

... Nami?

[Private - I know right?]

[mikangirl]

Yeah, it's me. I was... keeping an eye out for you coming back. [She makes no apologies for being underhanded.]

...you mind if I pass on to Luffy that you're back?

[Private - Seriously! Geez!]

[capital_justice]

[It's fine. If it's to pass to Luffy, then it's surely fine to be underhanded like that. Plus, it wasn't the strongest filter ever.]

Ah, thanks. [Always nice to hear people keeping an eye out for you.] I don't mind.

[Voice]

[ratatosk_knight]

[Hey, he recognizes that voice...]

Flynn...? Flynn! You're back! Are you all right?

[Voice]

[capital_justice]

[Is that Emil? How did he get the voice message that he clearly filtered to his housemates? Yeah, Flynn isn't understanding that a bit of his awakening was caught by the journals, and likely won't pursue trying to figure that out. He'll just converse with Emil for now.]

... I've been better, admittedly. But it's nothing serious.

[Voice]

[ratatosk_knight]

Are you sure? Do you need any help? Yuri told me what happened, and...

[Voice]

[capital_justice]

He did? [That's something he didn't expect. But that's something, he supposes.] I see.

I'm positive, I'm all right. Repede is getting some of the others to come help me soon.

[Damn, this clinic is boring. So boring. More boring than boring. Let's flip through the journal and see what we--

--Oh.

Ignore that low hiss of pain, Flynn. That wasn't Yuri sitting up too quick. Nope. Not at all.]

... Heh. It's about time you showed up again.

[Filtered]

[capital_justice]

[Flynn's just too out of it right now to really pay much attention to something like a low hiss of pain, man. He does appreciate hearing your voice, though.]

... Yuri. [...] What happened? After...? [After he... you know. The details of the aftermath.]

[Filtered]

[once_knighted]

[Excellent. He doesn't want to get into the results of his an hero antics right now as it is.

... Regardless. Even if Yuri's still not exactly thrilled with Noel right now, he knows something was obviously wrong with her, and that she was friend of Flynn's. So--]

... You sure you want to hear about that right now?

[Filtered]

[capital_justice]

[He knows that Noel was the one who killed him. It left quite a sour taste in his mouth, besides the whole taste of actually dying. It's not the best thing to know that a good friend of yours suddenly changed one day like it was nothing, and simply killed you just because she could.]

Yes, I'm positive. [He groans a little as he positions himself to be more comfortable against the tree he was sitting against. He's so tired.]
