seventeenth breath ✧ action, voice later

[musubi]

[A heavily drugged figure is stumbling out of the woods near the grocery store. He doesn't get far before slumping against the side of the building and sliding down into a sprawl. Everything is spinning, even after he's stationary.

He closes his eyes, rubbing at them with one hand.] Son of a bitch...

[Once Isamu has returned to his apartment, the following message will be left over the journal.]

S'okay, guys. I live.


[ooc: So yes. I'm back from hiatus! ...I also have some issues with breaking continuity, so once one person has found him, everyone else should only respond via the journal. Naoki, however, has rights to join the action thread at any time if he doesn't find him first. Sorry for being kinda lame like that.]

[ooc: It's all good!]

[It takes him a moment to blink up blearily at her, and another to realize he doesn't recognize her at all.]

Nnnnope. Pretty out of it, really.

[action]

[purityshrine.livejournal.com]

What happened?

[action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[He makes a vague gesture with one hand before snickering.]

Mal-noss-o. You know. I am guinea piggish.

[action]

[purityshrine.livejournal.com]

No, I don't know. What did they do to you?

[action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Not a clue! Not a damn clue. Aside from doping me up, of course.

[action]

[purityshrine.livejournal.com]

Where do you stay?

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

[The voice on this end of the journal is obviously relieved.]

You aren't injured, I hope?

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Not injured, no...

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

But not unharmed either?

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

I'm not... really sure. Don't think they drugged me up just for kicks.

...Or maybe they did.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

[... that does not sound good. He's remembering what sort of shape Naoki was in when he was returned from his last Mallynapping.]

Sir Isamu, is there someone there with you?

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm back home now, man.

[Because that's where his journal was left.]

[Voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

Oi.

[Have one relieved but still concerned chef staring at you through the journals]

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Oi yourself.

[For some reason, Isamu's started speaking in a hushed tone.]

[Voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[Alright, that's weird]

You alright? Someone find you already?

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

I'm... something. But I'm at home now.

Could you, ah... Could you maybe keep your voice down?

[Voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

... Alright.

Headache?

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Getting there... Probably just a side effect of the drugs...

[Voice]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Lemme guess. You were drinkin' without me again.

[He kids. It's good to see you back, man.]

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Heh... How'd you guess...?

[Voice]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Call it a hunch.

You make it home?

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Yeah... Yeah, I'm here. All five floors up.

[Voice]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Good. And you ain't deaf or blind or grown a tail or nothin', right?

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Definitely not any of... any of those... In fact, you're talking a bit loud...
