三十二つ 紅涙; 「video; backdated to after rhode's post」

[See Sasuke just outside of the building. Now, he's holding an unconscious Kanda Yu by the collar of his coat, as if he were some sort of disgusting thing he's taken offense to.

This isn't the Sasuke everyone's used to. He looks a little more unstable, his eyes more crazed. Almost bloodthirsty.]

If no one collects this trash, I'll dispose of it

[...Well, no sense in arguing. He'll just add Sasuke's room to his rapidly lengthening list of things to do. Arrives on scene a short moment later and goes running right up to Kanda, feeling for a pulse with steady fingers.]

[He's alive, just unconscious. No physical damage done.]

[Releases the breath he doesn't realise he's been holding, just a little shaky at the end--]

[--and proceeds to attempt shaking you back into the world of the living.]

Get up!

[OFFLINE]

[promisedlotus]

[Nope, nothing.]

Get up, you lazy, square-fringed arse--[Allen's more worried now, and it's manifesting in DETERMINED SHAKING.]

[OFFLINE]

[promisedlotus]

[STILL NOTHING yeah you should probably worry.]

[SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE]

[SHAKE...]

[And then it clicks. He has seen this before, this odd, catatonic look, back on the Ark on another comrade's face.]

―Kanda! Wake up!

[OFFLINE]

[promisedlotus]

[Keep trying! He'll wake up....eventually.]

[tothelastbreath]

[How long has this been going on? The passage of time doesn't mean much in a dream, Kanda could've been in there for days and Allen hadn't even noticed.]

[still calm, but with growing urgency:] Come on you absolute idiot, we don't have time for this. Get up! Alma's waiting for you to come back, and if you quit on us now, I swear I'll shave you bald.

[Yup, definitely still trying, but he also knows from experience that this is one battle you'll have to fight and win by yourself. Lavi did it. He's sure you can do it too. Come on.]

[Give him about another half-hour and he'll start to come out of it.]

[That's half an hour too long, mister. Allen's spent a month wrestling with the knowledge that you might be dead back home while he's stuck here being utterly useless, but now that you're in danger, right here in front of him, there still isn't a damn thing he can do. This is probably the shittiest he's ever felt about himself since his arrival in Nesreca.]

2/2 [OFFLINE]

[tothelastbreath]

[But wait, maybe there is a way for him to help. After another fruitless round of yelling and insults and maybe a smack or two or three, he'll just drag you back to his room so you don't get eaten while he's gone, and run off to find Rhode. The real one, because he's pretty sure this is the evil twin's doing, and maybe... Maybe he can get her to help, or at least send him in to go after you. He doesn't find her, though. Have a distressed bean sprout coming back to check on you about half an hour later.]

[OFFLINE]

[promisedlotus]

[He isn't completely there, as he starts to wake up. Just pushing himself up slowly, on shaky arms. He doesn't really say anything, or even acknowledge Allen by near him at all]
