[hypnotherapy]

[ Wow, a voice post from Magicman? Amazing. It must be something important.

(It is important.) His voice is a little shaky, as if he's trying to maintain a steady tone and not quite managing it. ]

Hello.

I'd just like to say that if you see this imPort around, [ he's helpfully attached a picture to go along with this post for those who haven't seen him ] I'd advise you to steer clear of him. [ That's sure a lot of (shaky) emphasis on those last four words. ] For your own safety. Don't approach.

[ There's a soft but audible hiss of pain and the rustle of clothing. Apparently he's having trouble with something...? ]

...That's all. [ There's a loud clatter as he apparently tries to turn the communicator off and finds it not amenable to his wishes; he seems to have dropped it. One inaudible curse later, he manages to switch it off. ]

permatext; comm tag is "Tadashi"

[haha guess who's been relatively chill throughout all this AND ISN'T ANYMORE. He heard that noise buddy.]

What happened.

[lala megaman being violent yeah ok but Magicman pal.]

[hypnotherapy]

[ He sounds a bit off. The reason why will become evident very shortly. ]

Ah. Tadashi. [ He just needs to...verbally confirm that you're there, apparently.

He's not doing so well is he... ]

Well, ah...

He stabbed me? [ THAT'S AN AWFULLY BLAND TONE FOR ADMITTING YOU GOT SHANKED, DUDE. He sounds...mildly embarrassed, even. ]

[tadeadshi]

[Oh dear christ.]

Okay, follow up question: where are you.

[Oh look, it's the person Magicman's warning everyone about. Except he doesn't quite match the picture. Megaman looks...off, all sickly yellows purples, with sallow skin and right red eyes with dilated pupils.]

Aww, Magicman, you really left our playtime to go tell lies? You're so mean.

[He's not too terribly upset by this, if the giddy laughter is anything to go by. Though given the twisted grin he's also sporting, that's...probably not a good sign.]

[ By now he's back in his comm and thankfully not like, bleeding slowly to death. ]

Sadly, our definitions of 'playtime' differ. You'll excuse me if I don't enjoy being surprised by being stabbed.

Maybe you shouldn't start games you don't want to play, then! Getting shot in the back wasn't much fun, either, but you never saw me complaining.

[Translation - you got damn lucky he didn't kill you, and that's only because he wants you do die slowly.]

Megaman! What the heck are you doing? Did Yokai put you up to this?

[corruptedinnocence]

Hmm?

[The corrupted navi looks confused for a few brief moments, then settles into a look of absolute disintrest. Ugh, one of the little brats who think they're his operator.]

...oh, right. You. [He sighs, rolling his eyes. Everything about him, from his posture to his tone of voice, gives off the air of someone begrudgingly correcting a small child.] I'll have you know I only take master Regal's orders. But he's not here, so I have to do something to deal with the boredom.

[voice]; ID reads Kaito Kuroba

[tuxedo_magician]

What'd he do?

permatext

[hypnotherapy]

Well, he thought it would be fun to surprise me by stabbing me, for starters.

He's been effectively brainwashed, so he's not in a normal state of mind. Must be something to do with what's been happening recently.

He's looking for 'entertainment' right now. I'd advise staying away, unless you want to become his next 'toy'.

[tuxedo_magician]

Stabbing you?!

Is there anyone who can help you?

[ Wait. What? ]

What's been happening lately? I mean, I get that this whole 'being in a strange place is weird' but what else has happened?

[ Kaito's been keeping an eye on a seven year old to really pay attention lately. ]

[eastdetective]

Why? Is he dangerous or something?

[Unlike Conan, Shinichi had no reason to avoid using the video function. So he was using it for everything. ]

permatext

[hypnotherapy]

Right now? Yes. It's best if damage control happens now before he does too many things he'll regret later.

[ He knows what's going to happen if this doesn't wear off or change somehow; darkloids need dark chips to sustain their existence. Without it, they'll deteriorate until death. ]

[eastdetective]

What kinds of things are those? Is he a criminal?

[yeah, Hazel can read other people's conversations. and what she's asking isn't about physical wellness, although she wonders if she'll have to navigate around that a little.]

You gonna be alright?

[hypnotherapy]

The most I suffered was a nasty stab wound and a bit of embarrassment, so I'll recover. [ He's still kicking himself for being caught off guard like that because he's a loser. ] I'm more worried about who he's going to 'play' with next.

[deadtective]

Where'd you see him last?

[Hazel...]

[ Hiro is kind of stressed out, having spent most of these first few days alternately trying to fix and defend Phoenix. (From his own paranoia if not Yokai - either way, not great.) Seeing Megaman stirs anxiety in him he can't explain right this second. He knows him, right? Someone ... someone he cares for a lot ... ]

Megaman stabbed you?

permatext

[hypnotherapy]

Yes.

He's not in his right mind, though, as you can see. He's been reprogrammed somehow, since I doubt there's any source of dark chips here that could give him this level of infection this quickly. [ thank goodness for dark chip addiction principles working the same in both universes...?? ] I imagine whatever's been affecting a great deal of the imPort population is affecting him too...

How are you holding up, Hiro? [ He's worried, kid :C ]

[microbrobotics]

[ Hiro switches over to text easily enough. It perhaps hides the subtle changes in his own face marking the difference in age between what he started out at and where he is now. Was now. ]

It's all Yokai's fault. There's this machine I was building that he tampered with somehow. I think - I think that's what happened.

voice; 1/3

[virusbusting]

Wait what? Are you sure? That's...

[He replies to the initial post before checking the other replies. That picture can't be right.]

2/2 I lied

[virusbusting]

[And a couple minutes later...]

...W-what?

...A-are you okay...?

permatext

[hypnotherapy]

Oh, don't worry about me. I'm fine. [ As fine as you can be while nursing a stab wound and being a bit grumpy about it. ]

Where are you?

[dun_moch]

[Oh good another possible villain for Dooku to take an interest in. But his voice is full of concern like the upstanding citizen he is.]

I am much obliged for your warning, sir. Are you all right?

permatext

[hypnotherapy]

Thank you for your concern.

I'm all right, yes. My pride is wounded, certainly, but my injuries will heal.
