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.]

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.

[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.

[action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

...okay, maybe I'm not.

[This time he does laugh.] I won't drop you, don't worry.

[action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Hn... [Just... clinging. ;;]

[action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

[And going up the stairs~ This won't take long.]

And here we are! [Moving to set him down on his feet--slowly--in front of the apartment door.]

[action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[Shakily:] W-what? Not gonna carry me over the threshold?

[action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

Yeah, not without the ceremony or the dress. In you get. [Setting a hand on his shoulder to guide him inside.]

[action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[Grumble.] You'd wear the dress...

[He stumbles inside, still sticking close to Naoki.]

[action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

Mm-mm, I don't think so. I wouldn't be able to pull it off.

[Keeping him steady with a hand, leading him slowly over to the couch.]

[action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

And you think I could?

[Flopping down on the couch now.] ...Where's my journal?

[action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

Better than I could.

[Turning now.] Your room--gimme a sec. [And off he goes--playing fetch. Leaning on the back of the couch when he's gotten it and offering the journal to him.]

[action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[Yoink.] Thanks, man.

[And he flips it open, ready to tell everyone he's back.]

[action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

[Naoki just smiles, gives his shoulder an absent pat before moving off to do inventory of anything he needs to pick up.]
