Fourth Flare - Video - Derp Patrol, on the move

[prominence_glow]

Heeeeeeeee-loh Vatheon!

[Look, everyone, it’s your favorite loud redhead! Lea is grinning widely into the screen once again; he’s been tired for the last couple of days, but now he’s back on his feet like a hyperactive little psychopath. If the background is to judge, it looks like he’s managed to make his way to a certain stuck ship.]

Your friendly group of explorers have arrived! That’s right, I’m not in this alone.
First up is my fantastic second in command, Isa!

[The video screen blurs wildly as it’s swung around before targeting a certain blue haired teenager you may or may not be familiar with. Isa just rolls his eyes, arms crossed.]

Lea, pay attention.

Hey, I’m totally paying attention! I am paying the MOST attention; I have the camera, remember? Anyway, aaaaaand, special guest star appearance, awesome A-T guy extraordinaire, Akito!

[MORE CAMERA BLURRING, until it finally settles on another teenager who looks a bit younger than both Lea and Isa, even though he has an eyepatch over one eye. Lea’s words make him frown a bit.]

Ah, just Akito is fine!

Right, right, I got it! Akito then. Anyway, folks, we’ve decided to do some hands-on investigating of this mysterious phenomena ourselves! You can leave it to us to find stuff that tries to hide!

[The SFC is placed down on a convenient ledge, capturing everything perfectly as the trio go up to the side. Their words are faint, but can definitely be heard.]

Alright, Akito, you’re the lightest, so you get up first, okay? [With a bit of awkward struggling, Lea manages to get Akito up onto his shoulders towards a hole they’ve found. The lithe teenager manages to make his way through, disappearing inside. It seems like everything will go well… Until there’s the sound of old wood cracking and breaking, along with the sound of a body falling through.]

…Crap! Hold on, Akito, I’m coming!!! [In seconds, Lea is jumping up, scrambling up the wood through nothing more than sheer determination… Only to yelp and fall as well amongst the sound of more wood breaking.

Isa facepalms.]

LEA! Ugh, that idiot…!

[And the feed cuts out as Isa grabs the SFC while running towards the hole.]

<sub>[Lea groans, dizzy from his crash into the hull of the ship. Shakily, he tries to push himself up...

Only to give a yelp when he tries to move one arm.]</sub>

Ow! Shit! I think I landed on this arm wrong...

_{[This time, he uses his other arm, which works just fine.]}

fuck yeaaaaaaaahhhhh

[fangking]

[Akito seems decidedly cheerful, if not entirely dazed; giggling in amusement and stifling laughter where he sits in a pile of broken wood.]

How is your arm?

[beforemoonfall.livejournal.com]

[Isa's trying to climb into the ship, much more slowly and carefully than Lea had.]

You guys okay in there?

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

I don't know... It really hurts a lot..

_{[Lea blinks up at the hole he and Akito made, where he can see Isa's figure.]}

HEY ISA! WHAT'S A BROKEN ARM LOOK LIKE?

_{[...Because that's clearly what his best friend needs to hear.]}

[fangking]

[Hey now, Akito seems mildly put out.]

I'm here too, you know..! I know what broken limbs look like.

[beforemoonfall.livejournal.com]

Lea, you idiot!

[He speeds up, scrambling into the hole before carefully hopping down.]

Come on, let me see it.

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

Oh, right! _{[Injury? WHAT'S THAT. Lea leans closer to Akito in excitement.]} A-T are probably really dangerous if you can really fly like you said they could, so you probably see a lot of messed up people-

_{[He looks up when Isa jumps down, and just grins.]} Hey, it's not a big deal!

_{[This is not true. His arm is hanging awkwardly from his socket, and from beneath his vest, a bump can be seen.]}

[fangking]

It's not broken! [Points almost accusingly at it.] It's just dislocated!

[Seems entirely too cheerful to diagnose this, but whatever. :D]

-SQUISHES AKGITO-

[beforemoonfall.livejournal.com]

Great... Okay, this is gonna hurt, Lea.

[Carefully, he repositions the shoulder and then--

He shoves the joint back together. Probably not the best idea, or the healthiest way to do this, but he's not trained in medicine.]

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

What? What's gonna hurt? Wha-

<sub>[....Oh, Isa, bro, not cool.

Lea jerks at the sudden- and painful as all shit- procedure and is left cursing like a sailor, clutching at his shoulder. Listening to guards and getting on their nerves gives one a fantastic swearing vocabulary.]</sub>

[fangking]

[Growing up with Kaito-nii and Yasu-san calling each other every variety of shit known to man, as well as living with Agito in his head... Well, let's just say that it doesn't even sound like cursing to him. Just normal speech. He watches the whole interaction in amusement.]

[beforemoonfall.livejournal.com]

You done yet, Lea?

[And then, a sigh.]

This is why I told you to be careful.

1/3 probably because I want to show off Lea's swearing skills

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

Fuck shit motherfucking whorehouse lightdammit Isa I am going to fucking shove your fucking shoes up your fucking ass this hurts like a bitch you douchebag could have fucking let me brace myself-

2/3

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

Fucking hell on a stick-

_{[DEEP BREATH]}

DONE

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

Okay, yeah, I'm good. I thought I was okay! Akito-

_{[He pauses, frowning as he looks over the other teen.]}

Hey, man, are you alright? You look really pale.

[fangking]

I.. I'm okay! [He didn't notice he was hurting until Lea pointed it out, but he does now; places a hand over where one of the stab wounds reopened, feeling the fabric of his shirt damp with blood. A frown, then a smile.] I'll just bandage it and take a nap later!

[beforemoonfall.livejournal.com]

[Upon finding out that Akito is hurt, too, Isa scratches the back of his head.]

...Guys, maybe we shouldn't do this. We've barely started and you two've been hurt.

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

...Yeah, no. We gotta get that fixed asap!

_{[He makes a move closer to Akito, looking very much like he wants to peel up the shirt to see how bad the damage is, but then he looks back at Isa.]}

Sorry to burst the bubble, Isa, but I don't have a map of this place.

[fangking]

It's mostly healed, so it's not that bad! This has happened before... [He waves off the worry. Only a few of his wounds reopened, not all.] Let's keep looking while we search for the way out!

[beforemoonfall.livejournal.com]

Fine, we'll explore. But we're being much more careful from here on out, got it?

[He's suddenly not liking the whole shipwreck thing. Exploration seemed fine before anyone got hurt. But now...]

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

...You are like, hands down, the cheeriest guy I've ever met, Akito. But we're seriously getting you a doctor when we get out of here, okay? _{[He wags a finger under his nose, half teasing before he nods to Isa.]}

Sir, yessir. Want us to hold hands to make sure we don't get separated?

_{[Again, still so teasing, but he seems more than happy to reach over, lacing his fingers together with both of the other boys.]}

[fangking]

I went to the doctor for it when I first got here! [He lifts his shirt a bit to show off a few of the stab wounds he received; most of them mostly-healed, with a couple that have reopened and begun to bleed again.] We move around a lot so this has happened a couple of times... But bandages fix them just fine!

[He isn't used to hand-holding - can't remember the last time he's held someone's hand either, discounting Agito. It must have been with Kaito-nii, when he was small.]

[beforemoonfall.livejournal.com]

[He's about to say something when Lea takes his hand. Immediately, he freezes up. Things have been a bit weird for him as of late. So he just stiffly holds his hand, back entirely straight.]

L-Let's just get out of here, okay?

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

_{[...Jeez, you'd think neither of 'em had ever had their hands held before. Lea frowns for a moment before just shrugging and leading the way.]}

Well, that's kinda the plan, Isa.

_{[It's dark and weird and the wood creaks, but Lea doesn't seem all that bothered. Even though his shoulder is still aching horribly, he absorbs it all, fascinated. He was always the child in love with horror stories around a fire or beneath blankets in his room with a flashlight.]}

Sooooooo....

_{[...Things feel too weird. Maybe it's the ship, maybe it's them, but either way, Lea doesn't like it. Conspiratorially, he leans closer to Akito and gives a 'not at all quiet' stage whisper.]}

Hey, hey, do you think Isa's afraid of ghosts? He's even paler than you!

_{[Kind of an exaggeration, but still.]}

[fangking]

....Eh? This place has ghosts? [He seems torn between being scared and being fascinated, though it seems as though fascination wins out.]

[ OH NO falling into holes happens way too often in old ships. Get someone trying to leave a message after seeing this beautiful video message ending on a bad note. ]

Is everything okay?

[video]

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

_{[After a while, in which panicking, arm popping, and general teenage ridiculousness, Lea finally pops open the SFC. His backdrop? The belly of the ship.]}

So the two wise-guys with me say I dislocated my shoulder. It, uh. Kind of hurts.

_{[And he grins. Painfully.]}

[video]

[mint-bread.livejournal.com]

[ Wow, he got pretty far. Leaf gets more concerned about the whole dislocated shoulder part, though. ]

Are you going to keep looking with it like that?
