03 video.

[ The video clicks on to show Newt, but he doesn't really seem focused on the device at all. Staring past it, eyes clouded with... something. The feed jerks around sporadically from shaking hands, and Newt looks filthy on screen, like he's been in one too many fights that he may not have won, covered in dirt and grime, blood and wounds.

After a minute of this, his eyes snap to the screen, clearing with recognition, remembering what he'd turned it on for in the first place. ]


Sorry, I- I'm... not well. I've got the Flare and it's getting worse. [ A deep breath, and he's dragging a trembling hand through his hair. ]

I think I'm contagious, and that means you're all infected unless... there's people called Munies- [ his expression sours at the term ] Immunes, shanks that don't get sick with it. Don't know if they exist here, you're better off going to a hospital, getting tested for disease or somethin'.

Just- for God's sake, don't bloody breathe on anyone until you do or we'll all be dead.


[ private to housemates & castmates ]

I'm not coming back. Don't look for me this time, it's better this way.

[ ooc| this is newt's announcement for the flaring up plot! commence mass hysteria and crank outbreaks and all that fun stuff

eta: here is a catch-all log for plot shenanigans, if you so desire! ]

Leaving you where? Slow down a minute, slinthead. I'm not followin' a shuck word you're saying. What Palace?

[ Actually, on second thought. ]

Scratch all that. I don't care, you can tell me the whole damn story when I find you in person.

[ He will not give up. He doesn't know how to. ]

Yeah, that's got me real convinced.

[ Minho's keeping his voice even, and his tone low. The opposite of Newt right now. Feels wrong. ]

I've got super speed, slinthead. You're not gonna be able to stay hidden from me for long. You wanna just get this over with now, or we really gonna drag this out?
runout: ('Cause my body too)

[ He wants to give him a snappy comeback, a quick "shows what you know", but he can't. Not after that last bit of begging which cuts at him.

But not enough for him to acknowledge Newt's request.

That's a load of klunk. The way it should be is me and Thomas there for you no matter what happens.
runout: (You break your necks)

[ He doesn't have a good reply to that question, so he chooses not to answer it. No... he wouldn't want them to see him lose it, but this isn't about him right now anyway. ]

What kind of shuck choice is that? You die alone instead of getting help from your friends? Think about this for a second, Newt!

[ You know it's bad when Minho's asking someone to think rationally. ]
runout: (Count mistakes)

What? You think I can do anything about that? Look, there's enough hero types running around here that'll get people out of here and to safety fast. Let them handle that, and I'll handle my own.

[ Newt... Newt is his own, and he's not leaving him, even if the sight of his face makes Newt angry at this point. ]
runout: (And let rhythm effect)

[ Well, one of them had to, and if it wasn't gonna be Newt, it was gonna be Minho, because this conversation is going nowhere, and he's got a friend to find right now. ]
