[Somarium, have a panicked broadcast from one of those still severely ill and only getting worse, since he wasn't doing a great job of taking care of himself, so concerned with his roommate. He's clearly flushed, there are dark circles under his eyes and he's sweating and out of breath when the video feed flicks on. One of his lenses also appears to be cracked, but he's paying it no mind. He looks like he's in a darkened room as well, hunched close to the Dreamberry, speaking in hurried hush tones.]

S-Someone has to come help me... There is a man here, I don't know when he arrived, but he tries to kill me in my world and I can't get away from him. He's in my apartment and he's going to kill me!

T-They both want me dead, I know it. Y-Yamamoto-kun? Cavallone-san? Even Hibari-san or Gokudera-kun, one... one of you could stop him right?.. They are here.

You wouldn't let me die here like this, right?

[He suddenly jerks away from the feed, staring at something in terror and the line goes dead with no other warning.]


(( OOC: Shouichi is convinced Byakuran is various members of the Real Six Funeral Wreathes, particularly Kikyo right now. And he can't find Byakuran anywhere, believing him to have told them to kill him himself because of it. ))

What are you doing...?

[Byakuran was there in the doorway. It hurt just to be standing, but he was managing somehow. Luckily he hadn't quite gotten into the hallucinations stage of the illness yet. Shouichi was causing a strange ruckus that he had to investigate.]

[Scrambled up to his feet and backed up a few steps.] I- I could ask you the same. When did you get here...? Where is Byakuran-san?

[Frowning deeply, he shuffled closer, reaching out to touch his face.] Shou-chan.. what are you talking about? You look really bad. Are you okay?

Re: [action]

[sole-choice.livejournal.com]

W-What do you want with me?! What did you do with him? You know.... he and I... he wouldn't let you do that anymore. So just go away!

[He wasn't making a lot of coherent sense, but he backs away from that outstretched hand, seeing it as a grab at his throat.]

Re: [action]

[1000marshmellos.livejournal.com]

Shhhhh. Shou-chan..

[That hand came out again, going for his forehead to feel for a fever.] You're probably burning up... you've been taking such good care of me that you're worse, huh? Let's go back to bed.

How'd he get inside of your apartment in the first place? What the hell?

I won't let you die there but try to calm down.

[He replies in a quiet hush again.] I-I don't know how he got in, but he's here.

I can't calm down, this man tries to kill me and I don't know what he's done with Byakuran-san... or maybe he...!

This whole story is too incredible. I can't make any sense of what you're trying to say but I can offer you some protection.

Mind telling me where you're staying at?

Re: video

[sole-choice.livejournal.com]

E-Edennel Apartments.... [And his face screws up in frustration - he can't even remember his own apartment number.] Really high up.

[And then he stills... what if this man was working with them? His eyes widened and he gives Ichigo a hesitant look.]

[slayingmoon.livejournal.com]

Really high up? Can't you be more specific?

[stickinmypants.livejournal.com]

Oi! What are you going on about?

[sole-choice.livejournal.com]

Kikyo! He's here and he's going to kill me. I- I know we haven't gotten along, but... [And he huddles in, face flushed and eyes wide, tearing up a little in his hysteria.] Save me.

[stickinmypants.livejournal.com]

Seriously?

...are you just messing with me? [Brings his face really close to the screen, eyes narrowed]

[sole-choice.livejournal.com]

[Shakes his head wildly.] P-please...

I know the others must be here too. A-And they won't stop with me. They'll kill all of you for him, you know!

[stickinmypants.livejournal.com]

[Whoa.

[This guy looks serious, even if he is acting like a whiny bitch. And as the Vongola right hand, it is Gokudera's duty to investigate. Since he's less concerned about the immediate danger to Shouchi, puts him on hold long enough to flip through the contact list and check for any familiar/suspicious names -- and he flips through allll of them, coming up with nothing except for the one known-enemy/asshole.

[WHAT THE FUCK, this bastard had to be fucking with him. The hell sort of game is he playing?]

Tch!

Who the fuck is THEY? I don't see anyone new except that asshole you live with and if he's trying to kill you, that's your own problem.

[timidmist.livejournal.com]

[ Have a blink, and a bit of a frown. With so many people who have tried to kill Boss, and everyone else, she can't seem to figure out who you mean by "they". ]

Who is there exactly?

[sole-choice.livejournal.com]

[And for some reason when Chrome answers his call, Shouichi's illness-induced delerium doesn't see the girl, rather but the man who used her body as a vessel.]

Y-You, when did you get here...?

[He wasn't sure if he trusted Mukuro either!]

[timidmist.livejournal.com]

I've been here awhile... [ No Mukuro, just a slightly confused Chrome. ]

You said someone wanted to kill you? You... need help? [ A bit of a stupid question, but she just wants to make sure. After all maybe one of the others already helped you. ]

[sole-choice.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't have missed a guy like you arriving... b-but you are Vongola at least. I need help, it isn't safe here, but I can't get out of here.

I'm trapped.

[unluckystray.livejournal.com]

Uhh.... Shouichi...? Where are you?

[He's a little worried that this is just his hallucination, but he figured he would help either way.]

[sole-choice.livejournal.com]

... [Hesitates, he doesn't know this guy very well after all, how does he know they aren't working together somehow? But slowly he answers in very hushed tones.] In my apartment...

[unluckystray.livejournal.com]

Somni? [He's on his way now.]

[sole-choice.livejournal.com]

[The redhead nods in uncertainty, so obviously feverish and unwell.]

.... you won't let them kill me?

[combiplay.livejournal.com]

Woah-! Seriously?

Maa, I can be right over if you want. Ah, maybe you should hide until then?

[sole-choice.livejournal.com]

Y-Yamamoto-kun...! [Relief floods his features which just reveals just how truly exhausted he looks.]

I am hiding, but... they'll find me eventually. I have to get out of here.
