[ Junseo is crouched down behind a trashcan in what looks to be an alleyway. The lighting is bad, and it's hard to see his clothing, but for some strange reason a reddish looking liquid is coating his mouth and chin, and a good portion of his shirt is stained with the same dark color. The dark color that looks suspiciously like blood.........

..... It's blood. Surprise.

Junseo looks at the screen for a moment, before pushing himself up to peer over the edge of the trashcan for a few seconds, quickly ducking back down behind it to stare at his communicator once more.

In a stage whisper loud enough that anyone passing by could still hear him-- ]

I think I need some help.

[ There's a woman's voice in the background, something along the lines of "What are you doing back there? Are you okay?" followed by Junseo sitting up stalk straight for a minute. That, coincidentally happens to be followed by a horrified gasp and a "What is that?" ]

No... no no.

[ "Is that...?" ]

No?

[ Whatever else the woman has to say is drowned out by the sound of Junseo's shoes pounding pavement as he hightails it out of there, communicator in hand. ]

You look like you could use some.

[ But Jinseok isn't going to be the one to do it for once. He's still mad. ]

[dumbfound]

[ It takes him a few seconds to dodge behind another building. Oddly enough for all the sprinting he just did he isn't breathing heavily....

Or at all.

He does look delighted to see Jinseok, however. Even though he knows that Jinseok is here in this world, because of his little trip back home the feelings of missing him are fresh all over again. Fresh enough that he's entirely forgotten that Jinseok is mad at him for attempting to steal from him. ]

Hyung! Yes!

[dicktate]

[ It's hard to stay mad at someone who is so happy to see you, but Jinseok is a petty, petty boy, and he can hold a grudge forever. He's upset at Junseo for trying to steal from him, and he's upset at Junseo for not trying to get back in his good books for the past few days. What even gives? Junseo should keep sucking up to him until Jinseok is happy. ]

If you wait long enough maybe someone will help you.

... Were you bleeding? Are you bleeding?

You should go to a hospital or something.

[He actually looks concerned. For once.]

Re: video

[dumbfound]

[ He takes a moment to find a corner to duck behind, puffing out his cheeks for a moment and letting the air out of them slowly, as he waits to see if anyone followed him before he answers. ]

Uhm.... no. It's not mine.

[ The obvious regret he feels with that response is immediate and written all over his face. ]

[leonized]

[.......

Okay, he can roll with this. Maybe. Not really.

He's a little relieved but also even more concerned.]

Did you get in an accident?

[brushoff]

Speaking from experience, that's never going to properly come out of your shirt.

[ this, of course, just opens up a whole host of questions (namely why are you bloody) but whatevs, Dorian'll deal with them later. ]

[dumbfound]

[ There's a bit of a pause before he finally responds. He looks down at his shirt for a moment. Somehow this is the least distressing thing for him in this situation. ]

That's okay. Uhm, I guess I will just get a new one?

[brushoff]

As long as you're aware of it! [ said with an idle shrug, his tone pure 'whatever'. ] Of course, this is hardly a good impression you're giving the network as a whole.

Where're you at, dipshit?

[is she going to regret this? probably. but Hazel has a really hard time walking away from blood-covered people in trouble, especially someone as dumb as Junseo.]

[dumbfound]

[ He's found a new spot to hide for a bit to reply to people. ]

Uhm, Heropa?

I'm....

[ Pausing and tiptoeing out into the open for a moment so he can hold up the communicator high enough to show off the street sign for a few seconds before quickly dodging back agains a wall. ]

[deadtective]

[oh thank god, he actually remembered to give her some indication of the address. and he's in Heropa too, which means there's no travel delay. all in all this bad idea could be a lot worse.]

Alright, I'm gonna swing by. You need anything?

[glowsferatu]

Junseo, what the hell happened?

[ She would ask if he's bleeding, but she knows that blood pattern all too well. There's one very obvious way to get it. ]

...Whose blood is that?

video.

[dumbfound]

I don't know.

[ That's the answer to both questions, actually. He sounds kind of freaked out though. One second all his questions were going to be answered, then all of the sudden he's back here and people are looking at him like he's some kind of monster!

... Just because he sort of assaulted a guy and tried to gnaw off his arm during his trip home. ]

[glowsferatu]

Junseo. Blood didn't just appear on your mouth! Stop, breath, and focus.

[ A beat. ]

Now, try answering again.

voice;

[bestever]

[a few seconds of silence, before;] What's going on over there? What kind of help?

video

[dumbfound]

The kind that makes me not be around people right now.

[ Because people are not super enthused to see him at the moment. ]

video

[huntergames]

[ Even in such poor lighting that is unmistakably blood. ]

Junseo? What's going on?

video

[dumbfound]

[ Yeaaaaah.... ]

I don't really... uh....

[hunterrabbit]

[Why does it seem like everytime Junseo finds himself in trouble, it's worse than the last time?]

What's going on? Tell me where you are, I'll be right there.

[dumbfound]

[ He is great at accidentally escalating every horrible aspect of his life :D

Wait, no... :( ]

I don't know? Noona I'm in Heropa and people keep freaking out when they see me, and they won't let me explain. Except I also don't know how to explain?!

[whopperking]

[Suspicious. Ignoring the blood for a second...]

Not to sound like a pediatrician, but. You been feeling any different recently?

[dumbfound]

I don't know?!

[ Why does everyone keep asking him how he feels. Scared! Mostly he just feels scared. ]

voice

[hisheartsdesire]

...Well, if that doesn't seem like a familiar scene. [A beat.] Where is the blood from?

[A native? An imPort? Did he get Ported out and happen to come back in after feeding?

No, wait.] Now, hang on. I didn't think you were a vampire before.

[Or anything supernatural, for that matter.]

video

[dumbfound]

[ He isn't sure he wants to answer that first question. Fortunately the last comment throws him off enough that he has something else to focus on instead. ]

Vampire?!

[ Like Dracula? Really? ]
