MY EARS DON'T WORK!

[There's lots of squeaking and screeching from Gulliver in the background. She's also breathing quickly, and there are a few soft pats as she smacks herself in the head. After a few seconds, she sighs loudly.]

Shinji, you jerk... Getting yourself knocked down like that... you should have stayed inside. You're... you're so stupid...

[She huffs.]

DAMN IT, GULLIVER! I CAN'T HEAR YOU BUT I CAN SEE YOU RUNNING IN CIRCLES. COME HERE. COME SIT NEXT TO SHINJI, I NEED TO GET ICE.

[There's more loud screeching and squeaking for a moment, as footsteps hurry away. A door squeaks open, and shuts again, and footsteps grow louder as she returns to the communicator.]

Cold, cold... Here, this will help... Tch!

...DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED OUTSIDE? I... JUST SAW LOTS OF BLOOD, AND AN EXPLOSION.

AND IF YOU CAN RESPOND ONLY IN TEXT? I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING!

I'm taking this stupid hat.


[[ooc: She's temporarily deafened from the blast, so she's shouting at the communicator, because that totally helps. Oh yeah, Shinji's unconscious cuz he went outside and got knocked down. And she's holding snow to his head. Open to comment logs for those in the bar.]]

commentlog thing: hopeful edition

[After watching his face for so long, Wolfwood's heart skipped a beat when he saw those faint traces of movement. His name slipped out despite how aware he was that none of them would be able to hear it.]

Shinji...?

[He shifted his position, standing on his knees and kneeling over him, Anemone forgotten. His hand found Shinji's shoulder and the other brushed damp hair from his forehead. Hope and hesitant relief twisted in his chest. He hadn't opened his eyes yet, but...

A needy impulse took him. Bending down, he lightly kissed Shinji's forehead, then his unresponsive lips for a little longer. /Wake up, please.../]

commentlog thing: confused edition

[prodigal-axe.livejournal.com]

[Thoughts hit him before pain or wakefulness did. Images of a blossoming supernova searing the night sky and curving up, along with a roar that had shaken the ground beneath his feet. Then gravity gave way and sent him into darkness with only half formed thoughts and not enough time for regret.

Had he died?

Pressure, some kind of touch against his face woke him. His eyes burned, achy from staring into the explosion, but he could seen just fine. Wolfwood right above him (close) there as he always seemed to be. A weak smile formed at that. He could see Anemone from his peripheral vision. At first, he didn't feel a thing]

Was I... dead..?

[But no sound reached his ears. However, splitting pain seared through his head when he tried to lift it. God damn.. what the hell had happened? He couldn't stand being confused like this.. had trouble gathering his thoughts. The world remained eerily without noise, surreal.]

commentlog thing: stunned edition

[pilot_princess]

[Anemone occupied herself with just hugging Gulliver. By now, everyone in Discedo was awake and panicking about the whole thing, except her good friend the idiot who was unconscious. But Shinji would wake up, and Gulliver was calm wearing his hat and staying in her arms.

Then Wolfy did something completely unexpected: he leaned over and he kissed Shinji! Did... he just really... Anemone gaped. She knew there was something between them, but to actually see it was another thing entirely.

What surprised her the most was that Shinji actually woke up from that. Still gaping, she stared dumbly for a second, then threw up an arm.]

WHAT?! IF YOU JUST HAD TO KISS SLEEPING BEAUTY TO WAKE HIM UP THE WHOLE DAMN TIME...

[With an exasperated sigh, she shifted back, moving to stand up. Now was probably a good time for water.]

commentlog thing: prince wolfwood edition

[church-man.livejournal.com]

[Wolfwood's hearing hadn't recovered enough for him to make out words, but from that close he could see what Shinji had said. His grip on his shoulder tightened, and he felt himself shaking his head. Anemone was yelling something, which he also couldn't make out, but he didn't care. He was shaky with relief, the tension and anxiety releasing their hold on him now that Shinji was awake. He leaned in again, kissing him more fully.]

commentlog thing: not a fucking princess GTFO edition

[prodigal-axe.livejournal.com]

[He shifted his head from Wolfwood to Anemone--a sickening, painful motion, but he needed to make sure both were alright. He couldn't do anything else but lay here and collect himself. He saw Anemone's lips move but heard nothing. Not a damn sound--it was all in a void.

That explosion..! If he hadn't died in it, someone must have. There were people over at the satellite.. His muscles tensed as he tried to force himself up--too quick, and he sunk back down in a dizzy spell. Screw the timing of this-- then the kiss came and he just relaxed into that for a minute.

The next time that asshole said he was never around for him, he was going to punch him.]

commentlog thing: brb expecting something in my absence edition

[pilot_princess]

[Even though she wasn't a fan of Wolfwood's, they did make a cute couple. And it was nice knowing the man was at least treating him well. She just didn't want to stand there and stare at them forever. That was just pretty damn awkward. So, with a soft sigh, she carried Gulliver to the back, letting them have a moment to themselves.

Plus, just watching romance made her miss Dominic enough to stay a bit away from it. Anemone decided to follow Kamui's earlier advice and grabbed two water bottles. Well, she didn't need to dump it on Shinji, but he'd probably need it. And one for herself because she might want it. As she approached the two again, she set Shinji's bottle down next to him, before narrowing her eyes at Wolfwood... and setting down the second bottle. Hey, why the hell not.

It would give her another excuse to not watch the sappy couple, as she turned around and went back to stall and mess with her communicator.]
