PHONECALL; PRIVATE nicotine_patch March 31 2010, 16:27:10 UTC

[ A DAY AND HALF FOLLOWING THIS; ]

[RRRING...]

[RRRING...]

ACTION; prayforprey March 31 2010, 16:30:58 UTC

[ and amidst the darkness, Purple Haze's melody blares at him from some far off corner, the monk's twitchy morbid agression screwing up unseen features.

he knows who it is. instinctively. and the battle between animal thrashing and the pull of the moon wages while it rings and rings and rings ... ]

ACTION; prayforprey March 31 2010, 16:31:25 UTC

[ ... the winner is obvious. it always is.

blind hands groping, searching ... ]

Re: PHONECALL; PRIVATE prayforprey March 31 2010, 16:32:05 UTC

[ CLICK ]

[ it's on. but no one's answering. ]

Re: PHONECALL; PRIVATE nicotine_patch March 31 2010, 16:34:54 UTC

[the raspy voice on the other end is tired and slurred]

Hn? 'Lo? S'anybody there? S'Genkaku?

Re: PHONECALL; PRIVATE prayforprey March 31 2010, 16:37:35 UTC

[ the air seems to shift a little. whether it's sympathy or obscure and unattainable lust (hurt him hurthimhurthim) is unclear. ]

Yeah.

Re: PHONECALL; PRIVATE nicotine_patch March 31 2010, 16:40:20 UTC

[there's an uncertain kind of pause - as if he's not sure why he called]

...Uhn. Hey.

[another, shorter pause]

So I think I fucked up. A lil' bit.

Re: PHONECALL; PRIVATE prayforprey March 31 2010, 16:41:29 UTC

[ and all he says is; ]

I noticed.

Re: PHONECALL; PRIVATE nicotine_patch March 31 2010, 16:43:18 UTC

[a blank silence, along with the shift of stiff hospital sheets]

Re: PHONECALL; PRIVATE prayforprey March 31 2010, 16:44:40 UTC

[ and then, harder; ]

What do you want me to do about it? People don't forget what they hear, and that buddy'a yours has a big mouth.

Re: PHONECALL; PRIVATE nicotine_patch March 31 2010, 16:47:03 UTC

[an exhausted exhale, not rising to it]

I don't want'cha to do anything. I'll handle damage control when the lights're back on and I can shit with no blood.

Re: PHONECALL; PRIVATE prayforprey March 31 2010, 16:49:02 UTC

[ and back to silence, shifting like he'd just shrugged. ]

Re: PHONECALL; PRIVATE nicotine_patch March 31 2010, 16:57:05 UTC

Would'a been worse f'it happened with the lights on. No certain body count 'cept the ones that lived.

[movement, the clicking of IV tubes against hospital bed bars]

I know it bones us. ...Couldn't keep it t'gether.

Re: PHONECALL; PRIVATE prayforprey March 31 2010, 17:00:40 UTC

Doesn't bone anything. S'just --

[ just what? a disappointment? ]

... We'll see what the papers say.

Re: PHONECALL; PRIVATE nicotine_patch March 31 2010, 17:05:27 UTC

Yahhh.

[that's a tired, self-mocking kind of laugh]

[it always comes to the papers, don't it, what's down in black and white]

[(he's red all over)]

M'countin' ...maybe 17 dead, at least 10 injured. Definitely more, I'unno, lotta ricochet in th' damn dark.

Re: PHONECALL; PRIVATE prayforprey March 31 2010, 17:06:23 UTC

I don't care about numbers. Just names.

[ (paint me already) ]
