...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.]


(OOC: Red is Akira, Blue is Gazelle. Post backdated to the morning! Replies will be IC delayed by 15 minutes or so, then come from Gazelle's device.)

[ 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?

[theshinjukucroc]

What just happened?

Gazelle! Akira! Answer me!

[ ...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.

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

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

[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.

[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.]

[virginwings]

[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.]

audio;

[sixwinged]

What does it look like?!

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

[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.

[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.

[sixwinged]

[ there is a long, long break between replies, before finally-- ]

Listen.

If you get hurt, how do you think Kaito would take it? He'll try to come after you himself, to protect you-- but he can't, he'll get hurt himself.

[ Then the distinct sound of trecks, going fast. ]

[virginwings]

[She's not buying it, because she saw a whole other story. But there's one thing that she really does hear.]

You know him?

[errandry]

—hey. Hey, get out of there!

video;

[nebenstimme]

Who, me? Know him?

[ thinking... ]

He isn't the kind of person anyone can know. But I know of him. I know a lot! Do you want gossip?

[theshinjukucroc]

Fuck...

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

[theshinjukucroc]

Get to Agito and hide.

[virginwings]

[she is, she is.]

[so minutes later...]

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

video;

[virginwings]

[doesn't want her gossip, akira's dead!]

[there's just an unsure silence on this end now.]

[errandry]

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

audio;

[virginwings]

[she wants to ask who he is because her senses definitely tell her he's not Agito anymore-- but he makes a point that's hard to ignore for any question or argument she may have, so.]

What else am I supposed to do, then?

[virginwings]

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

It's not safe out there.

[virginwings]

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

[theshinjukucroc]

Then hide, damn it! I'm not going to lose you to this!

[virginwings]

[Flinches at his tone]

Okay. I'm staying here. [And he may be able to hear her sitting down on a floor.]
