...Aah, you know, I’ve seen some pretty weird things in the short time I’ve been here, but now evil, flying giant thimbles?

[he’s doing his best to remain quiet after seeing what those creepy things were doing to some of the people, after personally being chased by one, crouched down in what looked to be an alley.] It wasn’t really the kind of thing we expected to run away from when coming back from getting groceries, hm, Gazelle?

[crouched down next to him is Gazelle and by the anxious, very anxious look on her face that would be a definite no. she gives her head a shake and replies as quietly as possible as well.]

Mm, no... But we should do something, shouldn't we? [she says this because she believes they should, but the tone in her voice pretty much suggests that she doesn't want to fight those things either.]

Yeah, we can’t stay here all day. Not when they’re already looking. [hum, what to do, what to do.] Maybe we can find-- Gazelle!!

[the thought goes unfinished due to a Dalek flying down suddenly behind the girl, Akira’s reflexes kicking in and pretty much throwing her out of the way-- just in time for the ray to hit him instead after a resounding EXTERMINATE. excuse the shaky feed suddenly just pointing in whatever direction it happened to land in, City. the owner just got disintegrated.]

[amidst the chaos, she yelps loudly in surprise at being pushed out of the way. the device lands in a position where it can briefly catch the moment where she CRASHES right into a bin on the other side of the alley before it cuts out abruptly.]

[ Agito wasn't going to bother replying to it, at first. seeing it happen was bad enough. there wasn't any need, when he was dead anyway. at least-- until he remembered Gazelle was still out there, and still needed to be pulled out.

his voice came out much more quiet than it normally would have been. hesitant, even. ]

Where are you?

[virginwings]

[It takes a while before she replies but when she finally does, her voice sounds a tiny bit - cracked. As if maybe she had been on the verge of tears or frustration.]

No - I didn't look at where I was going. But I found a place that was empty.

[sixwinged]

What does it look like?!

I'm not leaving you by yourself! Not after Akira--

[virginwings]

... [Momentary silence because she has all the guilt.]

It's a place with a big window and a lot of bricks on the outside, not too far from the... bakery. But I'm okay here myself.

[theshinjukucroc]

What just happened?

Gazelle! Akira! Answer me!

[sixwinged]

AKIRA'S DEAD! HE'S F--..

Just shut up and don't go outside! I'll kill you myself if you die, stupid!

[theshinjukucroc]

Fuck...

Get her out of there! Don't either of you die!

[sixwinged]

I've got it.

[virginwings]

[It's hard to say when she could actually reply to this because she hesitates for a good while. But eventually she does push herself to say something, anything since she knows keeping silent doesn't help anything either.]

He pushed me out of the way and... [Cause that explains it all.]

[theshinjukucroc]

Get to Agito and hide.

[virginwings]

[he can't see it but she's shaking her head.]

It's not safe out there.

[ ...it's like that, is it? What a pain, all these self-sacrificing heroes. What an absolute... pain. ]

[ Playing pretend under these kind of circumstances is really - disgusting. ]

...hey. You're still sitting there, right? You should get going, now. It doesn't look good for a - for a girl to stay around a man who's taking a... nap for so long. What will your boyfriend say? He'll be jealous, won't he? Come on. Mr. Policeman will handle it when he's awake again. Get yourself home.

[Eleven minutes and twenty-eight seconds later, after she's gotten away...]

Why would you say that? He didn't deserve to be left there... [Though by the sounds of it she knows all she could do was run.]

[nebenstimme]

[ because lying is her forte, and it's time to play that game, little gazelle. ]

He'll be fine. He's big and strong and tough! He's taken worse. But don't tell him I said so, all right? If he knows there are those who cheer him on, he'll get cocky.

[errandry]

—hey. Hey, get out of there!

[virginwings]

[she is, she is.]

[so minutes later...]

-- I'm out. [but breathing still a little hard.]

[errandry]

Was that— Did you see anything before you got out of there?

[virginwings]

Mm... The flying thimble... [and she doesn't sound so happy to say so.]

AKIRA??!!

video ➠ action;

[crowing]

( no, there's absolutely no hesitation. his trecks are already on, left on from earlier, and he throws himself off of the roof. it doesn't manner how vague of a location was in the feed, he'll find them. he has to.

akira had to be ok, things had to be ok. he can't let someone die here. he knows what happens. fuck. fuck. fuck. fuck. fuck. fuck. fuck. fuck. fuck.

it takes him a moment to get to the scene, coming to an abrupt halt as he looks over the area. )

action; there will never be a non-threadjacky post in this cast.

[ lind wasn't far behind that. except he wasn't going for that spot, no-- just somewhere near it. without even looking down, he moved from one rooftop to the next-- over the place entirely, before realizing- oh, he knew that face.

the wheels on his trecks stopped as he leaned his weight back, moved one hand to his hip, and twisted around a bit to call back; ]

Hey, Crow! You're not going to find anything there.

we wouldn't be air gear otherwise, okay.

[crowing]

( by now he's realised that. the only remains he can find of akira are the smudges on the ground, a pathetic reminder of another human being. his fists clench at his side as tears prick the corner of his eyes, but somehow it's the sound of another person calling out him that finally makes them fall.

akira's dead.

biting down on his lower lip, hard and splitting the flesh open, he jerks his head to look up towards lind. )

No, I've found something.
