tenth breath ✧ voice/written/action

[musubi]

[If you're awake in the early morning hours, you might just hear frantic panting coming from your journal. If you're lucky enough to live on the 5th floor of complex #7, this would have been preluded by a scream from down the hallway.]

Hello? Hello? ...Shit. Shit.

[And then written:]

Hello?

Waddya mean he can't hear? What happened?

[He'd rather talk to Naoki than try to write. It'd just end badly.]

[Voice]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

He woke up that way, I think--guessing by that shout I heard.

Did you hear about the mushi that showed up from Ginko-san's world? I think there's a big chance they could be the cause.

[Voice]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Musta missed the memo.

[Voice]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

They're floating around all over the place--some of 'em look kind of like bugs. Not everyone can see 'em. But anyway, Ginko-san's going to come have a look at Isamu, see if he can fix it.

[Congrats, Naoki, you've just squicked him out.]

So you're tellin' me he's gone deaf 'cause of some invisible bugs?

[Voice]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

[Naoki only sounds so calm about this because he hasn't seen one that looks like a beetle yet.]

They're not exactly bugs, just resemble them. They're more like parasites, or bacteria, I think. But s'about what I'm saying, yeah.

[Voice]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Holy crap.

[Voice]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Isamu's-- [Pause, taking his next words into consideration.] He'll be alright. They'll get taken care of.

[Voice]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he better be. You tell him I'm countin' on that.

[Voice]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

I'll tell him. I'll get him to let you know himself when it's all good.

[Voice]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Sure.

[Voice - a bit later]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Hey, Raph?

[Voice]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Hey, look who's talkin'.

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Yeah, funny stuff.

Sorry about earlier.

[Voice]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

That's what you get for makin' me keep that stupid spider.

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

What? That's bullshit.

[Voice]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

That's karma and it is sweet.

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Man, whatever.

[Voice]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles a bit.] Relax, I'm pullin' your leg.

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

At least you're in a good mood.

[Voice]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Nah, I just like messin' with ya.
