[The SFC clicks on as it skitters across the floor. The vampire that owns it dropped it as he collapsed. He's completely exhausted from fighting with the monster on the island and is all too thankful that the bubble decided to return him on its own. He can feel the power of before, surprised that is it still inside of him. Perhaps it was the new power that was really able to keep him going..matched with sheer determination not to fail. But now that the strength of a god is gone, the wounds received from the creature and the sheer effort that went into the battle are too much for him.]

I pushed too much..

[That voice is the first sign that he still has some life in him but it is weak and barely more then a whisper.]

I hope we..were able to stop it..before too many were hurt..

[He tries to use his hands to push himself up off of the floor but it's too much effort. He'll just sleep it off right here..]


((ooc: You can find him or you can see him through the video. Up to you! I didn't specify where he landed when he was returned so he could end up wherever you want.))

*Oh hey, it's Mr. I-Hate-Technology. Without his red cloak on. ...Did he actually go and find himself an apartment?! That sure looks like a bed he's on. Only his eyes are visible, the rest of his face buried against a pillow. He stares at the device for a while before he finally raises his head.*

Now that most of the excitement is over with....

How exactly is one expected to go about "changing their nature"?

[So it's been a few days since he died, and it's given him time to think. Assess priorities. Figure out what he's going to do now that he's back.

He doesn't want Kohaku to have to suffer this kind of pain again. Not just her, too -- the hospital visits did little to help him feel better. If anything he was more or less focusing on all the pain he'd caused by his inability to protect those he'd cared about. So after some thinking it was then that he'd decided.

He would get stronger. So that this wouldn't happen again. But he couldn't face them all a third time. Not yet, anyway. Not until he was sure that he could properly protect them this time. So now he's in an undisclosed location somewhere in the area as he turns on the feed, speaking into it.]

Hey, Vatheon. I... well, after what's happened, well... I think I need to go away for a while. Think about things. I don't know when I'll be back, but... hopefully soon, I guess?

( Private: For Kohaku Hearts, Beryl Benito, Rin Okamura and Asbel Lhant )

I know it may seem extreme, but I think it's the best for everyone... I don't regret what I've done. I truly am happy that I got to meet you all when I did, though... and I hope to see you all again soon.

Until then... goodbye...

[With a quiet sigh, he turns off the feed.]

(( OOC: Do note that Shing won't be responding to any of the comments here, so... feel free to post responses and stuff here!

And with that, I go on hiatus! See you all... hopefully at the end of the month! Or less! \o\ ))

[Hello bubble! With someone in a coma the pirate had decided to bring back the Let’s Draw on Demyx show.

His arm was already covered in ink, he was without organization coat and shirt (still has his pants), had a tutu, and there was also glitter all over him.

The one responsible was found sprawled beside him, looking worn out from fighting on the Island over the weekend.]

Any of his buddies [A jerk of the thumb at the sleeping dork]…want to dye his hair? [A shrug before he prodded Demyx in the cheek with a finger.]

Some weekend party, eh? How many are still all banged up from it? [A bit of a grin as Faris pulled the SFC close.] How are ya fairing, Will? [Yes he remembers his name is Walter, but doing this on purpose.]

Lenna, ya weren’t tangled in any of that, right? [He hadn’t seen the pink haired princess at all during the fight and found himself waking up back at home. A local or a friend could have dragged him back. Awesome.]

Now back to my mate here. Looking for someone who knows how to apply make-up. Also looking for suggestions on what else I should do.

[So Rin was supposed to be at Kohaku's tonight, given what Shing has done, and he'd already been over there once only to realize that he forgot the kitchen knives he usually uses. So he ran back to his apartment, only to realize...

They're gone.

So this? This is a very angry Rin on the network.]

I'unno... who the hell... got in my apartment while I was gone... and really I don't give a flyin' fuck 'bout that part...

But.

I WANT MY FUCKIN' KNIVES BACK! NOW!
