007 — handwritten & open action.

[argents]

Who: Banagher Links (argents) & you!
When: January 8th, throughout the day.
Where: LCU hospital
What: Protagonists gonna protag. Banagher followed his destiny, chased a princess, and got shot up by a Blood Key for his trouble. Newtype hax means he's now rotting in the hospital, going stir-crazy. Little does he know he's not the only one of his trope in this situation.

( HANDWRITTEN )

Got mixed up in something, at the hospital. Need a change of clothes / phone charger.

( ACTION, OPEN )

[ So he may feel a little stupid, sending out what amounted to an SOS. But he can only stare at the pale interior of his hospital room for so long.

Because he's only been here a day, and he's heard it a thousand times. Luck, luck, luck. It's beginning to get so old that he almost wants to say, no, it wasn't just dumb luck. But then again, he's not entirely sure he believes that either. Taking a bullet and living was a humbling experience. Taking a bullet and having it miss bone, miss his brachial artery... maybe he ought to start believing in miracles a little more, once it sinks it.

Not to say that miracles didn't hurt like hell.

In the end, it's all he can do to stifle his own focus on what landed him here, along with the pain that's still coursing through all his muscles. Sweeping beneath bruised skin, and delving into the bone. Frowning and setting his head back, he looks up at precisely nothing.

That'd really gone terribly, hadn't it? ]

[[One moment, his memory for people is pretty poor]]

...Wall of text Lizzie?

[argents]

That's the one.

[shiromadoushi]

She's still around? I thought she left or something?

[[a pause]] ... She came back?

[argents]

Last night. She called, right before she left for the Dead District. [ A loaded pause. ] Bakura, she tracked down Jack Sears.

[shiromadoushi]

[[Bakura stared, eyes wide.]] She did?! He's still alive?!

[argents]

He helped us out, when things went south. I remember now. That's who she went looking for, when I decided I had to go after her.

[shiromadoushi]

Shit... I thought he'd gotten found out, or that he'd bailed... Haven't heard from him since...

[[Since that other guy had vanished too. A lot of people from the beginning had lost their numbers or gone missing... that one of them-- two of them! were back....]]

And she found him? Are they both OK? Or didn't you find them first?

[argents]

Everything happened at once. I found her, and the Keys, then he found us. Lizzie is fine, but he looked pretty bad, I think. We lucked out, escaping... he took on two of them at once.

[ It changed his perspective, that was for sure. ]

I didn't expect any of it, I know that.

[shiromadoushi]

[[Bakura could only stare a long while]] ...but he made it back out, right...?

[argents]

Yeah. I think he's at Lizzie's right now.

[ He distinctly remembers having to move out of the line of fire, when she'd gone off and slapped him for trying to evade her again. ]

...There were some people I didn't think would come back at all.

[shiromadoushi]

[[a nod]]Most of them I don't tend to think will. Especially if they're offline more than a month. And with his situation...

[[he trails off a moment]]

I thought that one way or another, he was gone. Either captured, or far far away.

[argents]

It makes you think, doesn't it.

[shiromadoushi]

[[a nod]]I guess... it's almost a bit of hope, in a way. That even if someone does forget.... there's a chance that they won't forever.

I think we've been pretty lucky so far. We haven't lost that many... Mostly people who've had to move...

[argents]

We have been lucky. Not that it makes it easier, but still...

[ There's a little bit of a raw edge to his tone. ]

There's always hope, that way.

And since I don't think we ever got to the head tousle last log..

[shiromadoushi]

[[Bakura nodded, reaching out to put a hand on Banaghar's head in a friendly and almost sibling-like fashion, gently mussing his hair. It was a gesture his father had often used with him, that had always made him smile, even when he was upset. He could only hope it would do the same for Banagher.]]

I know it's useless to say, but try not to let it eat away at you too much, k? Since there is hope.

[argents]

[ The gesture startles him initially, but he understands why he did it — the intent behind it, even if he doesn't mean to sense it. So he relegates himself to peeking out from beneath a mess of hair. ]

There is. I know there is, so it's not useless. Not to me. ...Thanks.
