6 // accidental audio + video

[shadowdive]

[The sound opens up into some state of alarm, footsteps clattering around, birds squawking in concern, a nurse paging a doctor... and a flat sounding heart rate monitor. It's honestly just a lot of audio chaos for a good minute, some static even interrupting a nervous, higher pitched chirping from a bird. More rushed footsteps, and a sharp zap sound... well. Electricity always did prompt noise out of him. Vanitas lets out a yell, but it sounded slightly muffled, followed by harsh coughing that was also muffled. The monitor picked up again just before that yell at least, so it's at least apparent he's not dead?

Some hushed voices were speaking just too inaudible to pick up, but the Gear was getting shoved and moved around again, until the video feed flickered on from in the bed-bound kids bed, a little Swablu fluttering to snuggle under Vanitas' chin as carefully as she could. He was stuck with a breathing tube and mask over his nose and mouth, giving the doctor across the room quite the groggy, nasty look. Unaware of the video feed going on in his lap, showing him in such a state, his expression soon relaxed into something quieter until he seemed to spot something off screen, making a gruntish noise.

It caught a nurses attention, since one stepped over to see what the problem was. Lifting his hand slowly, he gave a disgusted look at the IV in the back of his hand before pointing at something off screen again.]

Oh, those? They were dropped off for you earlier, but you were still sleeping.

[Furrowing his eyebrows, he turned his head just slightly with an honestly confused look. Working his mouth a little around the tube, Vanitas just looked cranky again in that when he tried to talk, words just didn't work today -- does he even realize he has a tube in his mouth? He just seems that out of it.]

They're Valentine's day chocolates, sir!

[Yeah, his previously confused look is returning, but he's too tired to care anymore outside of that, with his eyes drooping closed again. Swablu gives a soft, worried chirp when she sees this, but the nurse thinks he's satisfied with those answers and walks away as the feed times out.]


(ooc: FEEL FREE TO YAK AT HIM. He's not really supposed to go to sleep again so soon after that hurr BUT IF ANYTHING, his pokemans will warble at you. Swablu is the only one light enough to be allowed to hang out literally ON him right now is all.)

[It's pretty late when Ven wanders in to take up an empty chair, looking some fine mixture of dazed and utterly lost. What's he gonna do...

The only sound he makes is a quiet, exasperated sigh]

[action]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[With his heart making quiet beeps from the monitor, it's almost strange how he still hears that sigh under all of the other quiet noises in the room; Vanitas cracks his eyes open and tips his head to look... and promptly scowls at that expression.]

Nn? [At least he's learning he can't speak properly right now.]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

[He glances up at that sound, and even if Vanitas is a jerk he feels bad that he's in this state right now]

Just rest up, you'll be fine.

[Rolls his eyes slightly with something of a 'duh' sound, but then he half points at him, something akin to a questioning look on his face.]

You really should stay still, your ribs got hurt.

[Which might give him an idea of how Sora felt, he supposes, but...ouch]

[ Kairi is a bleeding heart, and this sight is enough to render her more than a little concerned. Even after what he did to Sora... ]

Vanitas...?

[video + text]

[Give him a minute, he's trying to talk and all that's coming out is some garbled stuff since he's still very physically unaware that there's a tube down his throat. Making something of a groggy face, there's some beeps before a ping!]

How are you feeling?

You might be in more pain if you were, though.

[ There are certain things Hikaru just doesn't expect to see when she's checking the network. Vanitas bed-bound and plugged up to a heart rate monitor with a tube shoved down his throat is definitely not one of them, so excuse her if she sounds a little more than urgent and just slightly concerned because last she heard somebody had been kidnapped by Team Rocket and just -- ]

Vanitas-kun, what...?

[ What happened? First he's kidnapped by Team Rocket and now he's in the hospital? And she's been so worried! ]

Are you okay?

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[Funny how that heart monitor is making an unusual beeping to go with the unusual heartbeat. At least he's aware enough to text, but painkillers are making him easy to tire out.]

[video]

[will-to-burn.livejournal.com]

[ She hasn't missed the monitor's irregular beeping. That's... well, there's no singlemost concerning about the picture. All of it's concerning and she's at a bit of a loss, what with all the questions shooting through her head all at once. Of course, the singlemost important one would be -- ]

Is there anything I can do to help?

[He makes a little gruntish noise, looking away though his fingers still work on the buttons.]

[So she catches the sound of Vanitas's voice (muffled though it is) before she actually looks at the feed.]

[watersbound.livejournal.com]

[...And then she looks.]

[...For a second, she thinks she's guessed wrong. Plenty of people in Route sound similar to him...and have dark hair...and a Swablu...]

video [done]

[watersbound.livejournal.com]

[Even with the glimpse of his hair that she'd caught during the rescue, she really hadn't expected that- hadn't wanted to expect that.

Besides, seeing those eyes in combination with those familiar spikes? Even worse.

And then she realizes that this is transmitting. Fuck.]

... So you're awake.

[When he registers the voice, he makes something of a face before he manages to focus on the screen. A grunt is the only answer she's going to get.]

[watersbound.livejournal.com]

[She could insult him or harass him, and part of her wants to; she still hates him, after all. But that face is... unsettling, and the way he's so defenseless right now...

Glances away from the 'gear screen, but she doesn't hang up yet.]

[His upper lip still curled, knowing that she was thinking him pitiful, and it noticeably was making that heart monitor beep a bit faster as he worked himself up in irritation.]

[Video] late 8D

[dragonspeak]

Van--[blink] You're not wearing your helmet.

[video] not that late! <333

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[Shifts his eyes to the screen, but gives a snort, letting his fingers answer for him.]



[Gee Merlin, does the face look mildly familiar if you know Sora?]

[Video]

[dragonspeak]

[Stopping just as he's about to remark on that, he tilts his head, looking at Vanitas oddly.

The mask is obscuring the view a bit, but...] Odd. I'm certain this is the first time I've seen you without your helmet on... [Merlin can't shake the feeling he should be recognising these features...]

[Video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't like that odd look and it's showing with his face going a little sour. Vanitas already has an idea as to why his face seems familiar, he just really hates the reason.]
