2nd Strike | Voice

[kendo_taisho]

[He sounds tired, like he's been up all night and then some. In the background Sakamoto can be heard nervously talking.]

It's prolly no surprise t'anyone this thing got to Maurtia Falls. My roommate came home sick, dunno where he's been.

To any of the other residents of 004: If ya missed it so far...don't come home. I can't...

[Sakamoto's voice momentarily raises, "We're fine! It's just our imagination, isn't it!?" and the sound of a chair scraping the floor closer to the mic.]

Would ya shut up!? This is yer fault I'm here!

[Heiji sighs heavily.]

M'sorry. Just...stay away 'til this is figured out.

[ As excitable and restless as she can be, patience is easy for her to obtain. As a scientist and a cook, it is a quality that she has to have. ]

I can definitely work with that! I'll need a good teacher though! [ Hint, hint. ]

Voice;

[kendo_taisho]

[He hadn't been thinking about giving up, not strictly, but the chances of him surviving this decrease every second he goes without a cure.

Still a promise for the future is a reason as good as any to keep fighting.]

Ya couldn't ask for a better one. Very few opponents have ever beaten me.

Voice;

[honeyxlemon]

Then it's settled. Once you're feeling better, we'll get to it! [ Still keeping that optimism. ]

You'll have to let me do something for you in return.

Voice;

[kendo_taisho]

[Another momentary silence as he tries to think of something he could ask for, fingers tapping lightly on the desk. Something other than a silent plea to stay; help; talk; keep him focused, alert, thinking.]

Well, ya already agreed to run around New York on an adventure with me, so teachin' you would probably square us out.

Voice;

[honeyxlemon]

Or you could let me show you some of those explosions we were talking about earlier, and then we'll call it even after that!

Voice;

[kendo_taisho]

[He laughs. First time in a couple days. It feels good.]

I'll see anythin' yer willin' to show me, Honey. If it explodes or changes colour or turns into dust, I'm there.

Voice;

[honeyxlemon]

Perfect! I know exactly what I can do to show you all three at the same time! Ooh, you're gonna love it! I'm so, so excited!

Voice;

[kendo_taisho]

[That excitement is addicting, reminds Heiji of who he is. The hell is he doing freaking out like this for? Sitting here waiting for this to eat at him isn't going to do a damn thing helpful.

He never was one for sitting down and just taking a beating. He's going to survive, and he's going to do it without losing his housemate, too.]

Thanks.

Voice;

[honeyxlemon]

[ Honey understands what the gratitude is for, and to know that he is feeling somewhat better elicits a small smile on her end. ]

I'm here whenever you need me.

Voice;

[kendo_taisho]

One day I'll be able to repay ya for this.

But for now I should prolly get goin'. Sakamoto's been a little too quiet. Wanna make sure he's okay.

Voice;

[honeyxlemon]

Oh, no! I'm just doing what a good friend should be doing! [ No repayment necessary. ]

Of course! Let me know how you're feeling later.

Voice;

[kendo_taisho]

[He is going to owe her forever anyway.]

I will. I'll try an' get some sleep, too. Maybe that'll help.
