[Demyx is walking home from work, a spring in his step and a song in his voice. He was having a good day, until the deafness kicks in as he crosses the street. He pauses, confused, then begins to frantically plug and unplug his ears, oblivious to the speeding vehicle heading his way]

Why can't I hear anything?!

[A lady on the other side of the

Wh- Demyx!

[he can't help but run over and kneel down by the other, clearly alarmed - Demyx was one of the few he ever liked, so can you sue him if he's a bit worried? he hasn't realized the other's deaf yet, though, as he reaches out gingerly]

Demyx, you okay?

[obligato_sitaro]

[writhing a little, groaning and mumbling something about dislocating bones that he didn't know existed. Senses a presence beside him and glances up]

Roxas! [his voice is a bit louder than usual, thanks to being deaf] Roxas, didja get that guy's lic- ooh!- licence? [does what he can to sit up, but it feels much better to just lie on the pavement.]

[oathskept]

[He's wincing on Demyx's behalf, hovering like he's not sure what to do with his hands, but after a moment he hesitatingly helps Demyx sit up]

I-- wasn't watching the car. I just-

[he pauses as it all sinks in, then he sighs violently and digs through his pocket for the waiting pen and pad. He quickly scribbles down a few things and holds it up for Demyx to see:

"You're deaf. I'm gonna help you get back home, okay?"]

[obligato_sitaro]

[eyes widen at the note] DEAF?! No wayyy.. [whines quietly, face in his hands. He huffs, nods and lets Roxas help him up, wincing] This is so not cool.

[cloaked_shadows]

[Sighs, going over to him.]

Nocturne.

[But, of course, he kneels down and helps him sit up as gingerly as possible, keeping a steadying hand to his back.]

Easy...I'm right here.

[obligato_sitaro]

[automatically grips Zexion's arm for support] Oh, uh, hi! [bites down hard on his lip to stop a grimace] I don't need any help, I'm fi-aah! [ow, trying to stand hurts.]

[cloaked_shadows]

[Winces as well; he's loud now that he's deaf, and that's what sort of tips him off, but he can't be sure.]

Demyx. Nocturne. [Snaps his fingers once, to try and get his attention.]

Lean on me. [Slowly, he helps him to his feet, helping him put most of his weight onto the schemer, despite his height.]

[obligato_sitaro]

[huffs and watches Zexion lips, more or less understanding what he's saying.]

Right. Yeah. [with a ton of grunts and groans, he is up, and standing on his own as best he can - he doesn't want to be too much of a burden.]

Uhh.. sorry. And. Thanks.

[Hi, have a mute Marluxia with a notepad and pen- also, just kind of standing there and expecting you to help yourself up;

"We did already mention that the city creates strange circumstances. This one is only a mild inconvenience."]

[OOC: Demyx: 0, car: 1 D:]

[obligato_sitaro]

[getting slowly, very very slowly, to his knees. He squints at the note, and promptly glares at you >|] Oh, go away, Marly.

[graceful_xi]

[Waves a hand dismissively, seems to be gesturing at the direction that the car came from, and oh, why are you so amusing;

"How tempting. The next time a car passes by, there will be nothing to distract you from walking in front of it."]

[obligato_sitaro]

[he is purposely ignoring you, muttering grumpily as he struggles to get up. HE IS LIKE A KICKED, DYING PUPPY, MARLUXIA. D:]

[glacial_dance]

[DDD:] Demyx! Are you okay?

[obligato_sitaro]

[crawls off the road and goes face first onto the grass, giving Kula a thumbs up] Should be, as long as I'm still in one piece. I hope I'm in one piece.

[glacial_dance]

[DDDDDDD: Leaning down next to him] Are you sure? You don't look okay!

[obligato_sitaro]

Uhm. [staring at the bugs skittering dangerously close to his face] I feel like I was stepped on by a seventy thousand pound horse.
