Summary: Catch-All for the Break


A - The Doctor is out [Network]

I will not be meeting with clients in person until further notice. If you must make an inquiry for some medicine, use the journal to contact me. I will let you know when it's ready to be picked up.

-Disciple

B- A nightly stroll in the forest

[Anyone who happens to be wandering around or living in the forest, might hear a disturbance during the nighttime. It doesn't occur every night, but when it does, it sounded like someone was cutting down the trees. There's also a low rumbling like thunder that occasionally accompanied the sound afterwards, like a rhythmic thumping. Looking into the source, they will find themselves at the edge of the Index. The ground appeared unstable, with trees uprooted and large boulders that have been split into smaller pieces scattering about the area.

This warzone was only found along the edge of the Index, and every few nights, a new area would turn into a disaster area. If someone manages to catch the person in the act, it turns out to be the Disciple, or was it the Disciple? The low rumbling noise was from him ramming trees into the barrier or throwing boulders at it. Whatever he could pick up and throw, which was almost anything, he was directing them at the barrier. A few times he was crazy enough to punch the barrier.] I need...to go... [If you manage to get in close enough, you can hear him mumbling about going somewhere. It doesn't seem like he's quite all there himself. Are those pajamas he's wearing?]

C-Wildcard
[This post is for the entirety of the break, so feel free to poke me on Discord or silentdrifterz if there's something else you want to play out instead or make your own starter!]

[hatesviolence]

[Normally the bastard would be quick to respond to him, so when he's only met with silence, he just clicks his tongue in annoyance and continues his own search. But as he continues to follow the river and reaches where it splits, he notices something lying on the ground.

Picking up his pace, he hurries over to check and—]

Disciple??

[Immediately he bends down to check his pulse—okay, just passed out. And it looks like it's just Disciple... Was it from the fight with Roxas or did he just exhaust himself?

Well. Here he was ready to drop kick Hyde into the void but he has an unconscious Disciple instead. For the moment he'll try to rouse him.]

[chippedsoul]

[His sleep isn't too deep that a bit of nudging will eventually bring him to a waking state. What awaits him just brings him utter confusion as he sits up with a start. ] What- [He hisses, pressing a hand over the his stomach where Roxas had struck him. Mistakes were made sitting up so fast.]

H-How...? [The starry night sky was not the ceiling of his home last he checked. And beside him was Shizuo. He stares dumnbfounded up at him. Why is he here? What is happening?]

[hatesviolence]

[Hand still on Disciple's shoulder, he'll try to get him to lie down again.

But all right, that's definitely Disciple and not Hyde. The storm that had been threatening to break dissipates as the rage that had been building up disappears.]

Do you remember anything?

[chippedsoul]

[It won't take much from Shizuo to get him to lie down again. It gives the Disciple time to regain some composure, shaken by what he has woken up to.]

I was at home. I don't remember leaving it.

[hatesviolence]

You don't remember him taking over or anything?

[That's not. Good.]

[chippedsoul]

[He presses a hand to his forehead.] No...

[If he was being honest with Shizuo, he'd mention he was asleep, which was worrying. Up to now, Hyde wouldn't do anything unless he could pick a fight. There was nothing to provoke him this time, as far as he was aware.]

[hatesviolence]

So nothing happened...?

[Just frowning before he rummages in his bag to pull out a potion for Disciple. He's going to have to restock on these tomorrow...]

I don't know exactly what happened, but apparently Roxas found Hyde attacking the barrier and fought him. [His expression darkens.] Hyde really messed him up.

[chippedsoul]

[He blinks.] Roxas? [There's that part about the barrier too, but right now his focus is elsewhere.]

How bad? Where is he? [He's turning his head, looking around for another person. For once, a man who can normally keep a poker face, drops the facade with a worried expression. Then, there was a feeling of dread.] Is he still alive?

[hatesviolence]

He's alive, but his arm was broken and shoulder dislocated. I used the potions to heal what it could and fixed his shoulder, but took him to Kotori's so she could get help for him while I looked for you.

[chippedsoul]

[Knowing he hadn't gotten someone killed barely brought any comfort when he hears how extensive the damage was. He lets out some air as he pushes himself to sit up again.]

Do you have anymore? [He keeps his gaze away from Shizuo.]

[hatesviolence]

Just a couple—gonna need to get more later.

[He'll pull out his remaining bottles to hand over to him.]

[chippedsoul]

[He swipes one of the bottles and immediately downs it. He hadn't been seriously injured, just a cut through his pajamas near his stomach. The potion would at least help recover his energy to stand back up.]

I'm heading back. [Saying, as he wobbles on his feet. ]

[hatesviolence]

Are you really ready to walk?

[Just watching him carefully. He won't try and stop him just yet.]

[chippedsoul]

I'm not staying here. [There are things to do, and he honestly feels disgusted the longer he stays here. Is he ready? Well, he's taking steps like some drunkard.]

[hatesviolence]

...Let me just carry you. [Get ready for the pick up because he's not taking no for an answer.]

[chippedsoul]

What- [He doesn't get another word in as his feet suddenly leaves the ground.] Hey-!

[He reflexively hits him in the head, which proves to be a very bad idea. He hisses as he grips his hand. Why does it feel like he just hit a brick wall??] Put me down!

[hatesviolence]

[...Yeah that was stupid. He barely felt that and he's just going to give him a look.]

This is faster, so just deal with it.

[Your choice whether he's being carried like a princess or sack of potatoes.]

[chippedsoul]

[Neither options sound fun, but let's go with the latter. He just glares back at him, unintimidated. However futile, he still continues to try and wriggle himself free. He may go so far as to poke him in the eye.]

[hatesviolence]

[Disciple stop. He's going to grit his teeth, a vein starting to throb and pulse when he tries to poke his freaking eye. He'll just move his head away and grab it with his free hand.]

Quit fucking around or I'll drop your ass and leave you.

[chippedsoul]

Then do it! [He wanted to be put down anyway. ]

[hatesviolence]

[HE'S TEMPTED.]

The hell is your problem? You can't walk well.

[chippedsoul]

That doesn't mean I can't! [He's still fighting him, struggling to get his arm back.] Let go of me and put me down!

[hatesviolence]

[Ugh.

Fine.

Just dropping him like he said he would.]

[chippedsoul]

[Oof. That was a rough fall, on top of everything else. Regardless, he doesn't complain and he doesn't ask for help to stand back up. He's sore all over, but he just grits his teeth, bares with it, and starts to walk again.]

[hatesviolence]

[This time Shizuo won't say anything, instead following.]
