[Not even a day has passed and you can already expect Azimuth to be on his feet, continuing life as normal. Except something about him still seems off, and in the process of preparing breakfast, the old Lombax could be seen stopping from time to time, murmuring to himself, or pausing to lean on the counter. His movements are stiff and hesitant, though he manages enough sense of mind to nearly complete an entire bowl of cereal.

Milk poured, an unsteady hand sets the gallon aside, opting to put it back in the fridge later. This is followed by another hesitant pause, and the Elder stares strangely down at the Lucky Charms filled to the rim.

He raises the spoon.

But his head is first to splash into the bowl, nearly knocking it over.

No, Alister, that's not how you eat.]

[ooc: aaaand wrap-up post. Alister's staying at the Villa with Rin and Yukio until he's a bit more steady on his feet. o7]

...You've been kidnapped again, haven't you?! [She curses loudly, several times.] Where are you? Is there a landmark you can spot?
keepsthefire: ([✠] eh... ?)

Uh actually he was kidnapped. He's not now.

[Have an awkward wave from the teenager in the kitchen where Alister is at.]

Hi. Sorry. We've never actually met but I'm Rin. I'm a friend of him and Ratchet. He was pretty freaked out and messed up when we found him, but when we tried to take him to the clinic it got worse...

But uh, don't worry! My little brother is a doctor and is helping to take care of him! He's almost got all the drugs outta his system but it'll be a while before he's totally normal again.

[Please don't come and shoot him. He's just the messenger...]

[She's going to do the sane thing and reach for her gun, pointing it at her SFC screen, before lowering it after a minute.]

I know. I saw. He's still messed up. He nearly drowned in milk! How am I supposed to not worry?

[Okay seriously are all Lombaxes trigger happy paranoid? As if Rin wasn't on edge enough as it is.

He bristles at the sight of the gun, but it's little more than baring his fangs before she lowers it and he calms in kind.]


You rather he be dead, or still lyin' in an alley way somewhere? We're tryin' to help him. It ain't like this is gonna go away in a day. Let my brother do his job, okay? We're not gonna let anything else happen to him.

[She glares, lines she doesn't normally have deepening with worry--and maybe something else. Finally, her shoulders sag, and she massages her temples. Letting her hands drop, she looks back up at the screen.]

Thank you for saving him.

[Rin sighs, glancing away and dragging a hand through his hair roughly. He's tired, and it's showing.]

... he's important to me, too.

If... you wanna visit... Yukio said he's not really gonna be himself but familiar faces might help him.

[Video]

[personal profile] iamnotacrook 2012-09-27 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. You wouldn't be helping him this much if he wasn't.

I want to see him, but-- Does Yukio know what kind of drugs were put into his system?
keepsthefire: ([✠] it wasn't the same without you okay?)

[Rin shakes his head at that.]

He said somethin' like... "If there was anything to test for, it's probably gone by now. This is all side effects now."

Whoever it is knows what they're doing. There might be something to find out later.

I'm sorry for lashing out on you. You've done nothing but help.

[personal profile] keepsthefire 2012-09-28 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... maybe.

[He sighs, shaking his head again.]

I'm not mad. I'd probably be actin' the same, if I was in your shoes.

He's just been through a lot already. I want to get my hands on the one who did this and kill them a few times!

You ain't the only one. Between you, me and Ratchet there'd be nothin' left of the guy by the end of it.

That'd mean findin' whoever it is, though, and like hell I'm leavin' Alister right now.

I have a few chemicals and drugs I'd love to inject into his system if it wasn't completely unethical. I'll just have to shoot him. A hundred times.

I'll look. He--or she--needs to be found regardless.

I'm 'bout ready to say "screw ethics" at this point...

Torture will only put us at their level.

[Doesn't mean she isn't considering it though.]

Some one needs to go to their level. Just to show 'em what they're doin' to people.
