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.]

[Isamu will walk... well, stumble, as best he can. Most of his weight will be on Naoki, though.]

You should always encourage me. I'm incorrigible. [And that really only makes sense to the drug-addled.]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

Mmhm, you're incorrigible, all right.

[You just stumble along there, Isamu. It's not as though it's hard for Naoki to support most of his weight, anyway. And along they go to the community building--he'll be glancing over on occasion as they go.]

Nn... How long was I gone for...?

[action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

A week and a bit...

[action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

That long...?

...Damn.

[action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

Mm, that long. [Pause.] Don't worry, I kept the apartment in one piece.

[action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Good to know... Hate to have any more holes in the wall...

[action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

Mm. Look, we're getting there... [Glances up toward the building.]

[Isamu looks back over at Kikyou, giving her another crooked smile.] You coming up too, babe?

[action]

[purityshrine.livejournal.com]

No. Thank you for the offer. I hope you get better quickly.

[action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

[Isamu's gonna earn himself a bit of a nudge from a frowning Naoki--who then turns his attention to Kikyou, ducking his head a bit.]

Um, thank you.

[action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

What? She's totally a babe. ...And she's leaving. Aww...

Catch you later when I can stand, yeah? [He winks at her.]

[action]

[purityshrine.livejournal.com]

If you like.

[action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

[Nudging Isamu once more. 8| Nodding a little apologetically to Kikyou.]

See you.

[Isamu waves too, nearly slipping off Naoki in the process.]

[action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

[Naoki steadies him with an arm.]

Careful. Let's go, you.

[action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Ah... [Isamu gives the door to the complex a wary look.]

You're totally carrying me up.

[action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles, reaches out his free hand to open up the door.]

I can do that.

[action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Good.

There's too many and my legs won't do it.

[action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

No problem.

[He means it. As soon as they're inside at the bottom stair? Scooping him up. No, Isamu's not going on Naoki's back--he has wings there.]

[action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[NOT AS PLANNED.] Wah! Shit!

[Wrapping his arms tight around Naoki's neck now, thanks.]

[action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

[Naoki's biting back a laugh and heading up the stairs.]

Sorry. [...least apologetic tone ever.]

[action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[Whimper.] You are so not.
