[Video] 006 ☽

[lunateclock]

[So amidst all of the insanity? The kraken attack and the craziness? There is Minato making an oh-so necessary broadcast. He seems to be leaning against the side of a building, but despite the crashing of what must be tentacles and the panicked atmosphere, he looks pretty calm. Is that blood on his temple...? Oh maybe. And he might be holding his

[ Ryoji's grown enough not to panic by now. Instead, he sighs. ]

I've got a Soma with me. ... I felt that. Where are you, Minato-kun? Can you hear me? Or is your SFC nowhere nearby?

... I can fly over. I won't be long. Otherwise, I'll find you the hard way--with my eyes.

IDK IT'S DEATHBRO FILTER

[lunateclock]

[...bawww bro look at your development.

He retrieves his SFC a moment later, bending over to grab it painful and thus his face is pale when he answers the call.]

Ah...Ryoji-kun. I'm near the Welcoming Committee. Don't worry too much; it isn't serious.

YES THAT FILTER.

[derparcana]

[ ... He shakes his head. ]

You aren't okay. Don't pretend on me, Minato. ... But then, you never did take good care of yourself. I'll be there in a second.

[ Click! ]

[lunateclock]

[He wasn't--!!

Oh alright.

He'll just wait then.

Doot de doot ow broken ribs.]

[dystopiadreams]

*Oh-so angry Selphie is oh-so angry. Excuse the French, but that's what happens when Selphie hangs out with trolls for too long*

WHAT THE MOTHERFUCKING HELL ARE DOING?

WHERE ARE YOU?

*She might look like she wants to kill him, but really she needs to heal him. If he died, then she would totally kill him*

[lunateclock]

[Now that was something he was not expecting.

Have some befuddled blinking.]

...Selphie-chan...?

Um. I'm near the Welcoming Committee...

[bouncing into action]

[dystopiadreams]

*Frown Frown Frown*

Stay RIGHT there! Don't go anywhere! You here me!

*Selphie's there soon enough, looking pretty battered herself, and she stalks straight up to Minato, her hands balled into fists*

[action forever and ever]

[lunateclock]

[.....okay.

He waits.

And blinks at her as she walks up, back pressed against the wall for support and one arm loosely wrapped around his ribs, but otherwise not too beaten.]

...are you alright?

[Voice] [What is filtering when there are tentacles?]

[not_for_cooking]

[Onion Knight sounds a little tired when he replies. As much as he hates to admit it, he's finding this extended fight with all those tentacles is really tiring.]

I'll go.

[And... because he doesn't really know Minato that well yet...]

Will you be be in the caverns?

[Because that looks kind of bad... ]

[Voice] [something only chill protags bother with; unfiltered]

[lunateclock]

[....he hears that tiredness but--]

Thank you, Onion Knight-san. I won't, no.

[He has things to do, people to take care of--]

But I might come and check on them later.

[Voice]

[not_for_cooking]

[Onion Knight... 'san'? What is that, some sort of title?]

Alright.

[He has misgivings about Minato's condition, but because Minato is older and seemingly capable (and Onion Knight's just not good at expressing concern), he doesn't say anything about it. But he does take the time to at least try and take what sounds like worry for the non-fighters and injured off Minato's mind.]

[In a more upbeat voice] Leave guarding the caverns to me!

[Voice]

[lunateclock]

[Which really does help a lot, for that was what he was far more concerned about from the get-go.]

Thank you. I'm sure everyone there will be fine if you're keeping an eye on them.

[He actually means it, too.]

I'll try to send some others over, so that you won't have to defend them by yourself.

video | DF filter; because lol, chill protags :|

[limitless_land]

Alright. [A pause. . .] I'll check on those in the caverns when I can.

[Still, damn him and his inability to not notice things.] Are you alright?

video | all the chill protag filters;

[lunateclock]

[He is nodding gratefully when the question comes, and he blinks.]

...Yes, I think so. It isn't too serious.

[Just some broken bones. Anyway, more importantly--]

Thank you. Onion Knight-san already headed that way; the help would be appreciated.

video | all the chill protag filters forever;

[limitless_land]

[At least he's still fully himself, right?

He returns the nod, a little skeptical. Sigh. Silly protags...]

So I heard. [A chuckle, and a barely-noticeable wince.] Hopefully this won't be much longer.

[lunateclock]

[don't be too skeptical. Still, he is observant also.]

...Are you alright?

[pristinestar]

[He's relieved that so many people came to assist Minato... He didn't need to worry, then.]

Thank you. I'll help direct people to the caverns, then.

Are you all right now...? [Did you get yourself patched up?]

[lunateclock]

[...oh.

There's something a little disheartening about seeing Red at a moment like this. It's the same care...but no longer the same closeness.

But Minato is quick to shake it off, merely nodding his head.]

Thank you. The more people who learn, the better.

And yes. I'll be alright; thank you, Red-kun. Take care of yourself as well.

[pristinestar]

[Despite that, he can sense it... Even for a split second, there's an obvious wave of disappointment.

Red lowers his eyes slightly, even after all these days, he still can't shake off this own guilt. But what can he do? He can't have his memory back... All he can do is move forward and create new ones with them, slowly.

Even if it has to hurt on the way...]

... Yes.

[pristinestar]

I won't disappoint you. I will protect the others, too. Even you.

[He smiles out, trying to encourage and cheer Minato on. He has to hold on and make it. Even for him... He'll be happy, too.

A person as kindhearted as Minato definitely has to make it. He wants to get to know what else is hidden beneath that caring heart.]
