[25 | voice, Japanese | locked from Muraki]

[sweetdeath]

So... um. [He coughs.] I'm not feeling... all that well. Uh - I think I'm just gonna... hole up until this gets better.

If anybody needs me, talk to Hisoka, I guess? Or Joshua. Speaking of which, Joshua, I hope to see you tonight.

... [ulp] U-um that said see you all in a couple of days bye!

[and the communicator cuts off almost in time to completely skip the sound of retching.]



[ooc; Tsuzuki's had his chip removed and is in the initial stages of infection.]

I hope - is... is he okay?

I.. haven't heard any information, lately. I'm worried...

[Voice :: Japanese | Locked still]

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Really...? Maybe you should go check on him.

[Voice :: Japanese | Locked still]

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

.. Hmm. I think I will. I'm calm enough that if Muraki's there, I shouldn't cause a scene...

[sounds of him walking out of an apartment and shutting the door behind him.]

Anyways, I'll talk to you after I've seen him, all right?

[Voice :: Japanese | Locked still]

Do be - careful around him.

[There's no reply for a while, as Minato travels. And then, the connection is started again, suddenly switching to video without warning. Minato's staring at the communicator with a half-shocked, half-pained expression on his face, unreadable emotions behind his eyes.]

Tsuzuki, he.. he's.....

...

W-what happened? Was it the illness - or...

[Minato leans against a wall, and then realizes he's on video, fumbling with it for a moment before it's just voice again.]

Y-Yes. He... didn't make it.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry.

Seeing the dead bodies of your friends never gets easier... I thought I would, back when I was young and woefully uninformed.

[Audio :: Japanese | Locked still]

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

...No, it never does.

At least, here, they come back.

[Audio :: Japanese | Locked still]

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

Yes.

At least here, they come back. I'd rather not lose anymore people permanently.

Poor kid. That was a horrible way to go....

[Audio :: Japanese | Locked still]

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Not as much as it co-

A-ah, I mean... I hope - he'll be okay. [swallowing with audible difficulty]

[Audio :: Japanese | Locked still]

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

[Minato sighs sadly.]

You mean because of Muraki.

[It's not a question. Nor does Minato ask for details. It's not like Tsuzuki will tell him, anyways.]

... But Zuko'll be fine, after a while. I'll watch over him, and he should have the emotional support he needs. He's also horribly stubborn.

[Audio :: Japanese | Locked still]

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[He doesn't give any details, only sighing.]

I'm sure he'll be fine... Man, my head. Ow. T-tell me how he's doing, when he gets back, okay...?

[Audio :: Japanese | Locked still]

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

[Minato sighs too.]

I will.

[He hesitates for a moment before sounding slightly scolding.]

And I've kept you up enough. I'm going to go back and sit with Naruto. You should get some sleep.

[Audio :: Japanese | Locked still]

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

...Yeah. Take care, Minato.

[Audio :: Japanese | Locked still]

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

You too, Tsuzuki. Get some sleep. Or I'll...

[He hesitates for a minute, but then speaks quietly.]

One person is enough, all right? One person....

[Audio :: Japanese | Locked still]

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

I'll be fine. Say hi to your son from me, all right?

[Audio :: Japanese | Locked still]

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

I will! And if I find any sweets, I'll let you know.

[Audio :: Japanese | Locked still]

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Heh! Thanks, Minato.

[Audio :: Japanese | Locked still]

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

No problem!
