[Voice post - worst fear virus.]

Really, Shirou, if you're home for the week, you should at least answer the door. [Issei sounds about as calm as normal, if a tad annoyed.] I told you I was coming over, so you have no excuse. Ah, well, it's for reasons like this that I have a key.

[The sound of footseps.] Not in the living room... He's probably in the shed and couldn't hear me, I suppose. [More of Issei's footsteps.]

It's locked. Shirou, are you in there? [A moment's pause.] No answer. Maybe he's out w-

Isn't that blood?

[There's a few loud blunt sounds, like someone throwing themselves bodily at a door, then a loud crash.]

Shirou?! Please be okay, please be okay, this isn't allowed to happen, that sort of thing can't happen if I'm here, you have to be okay, please- Why, why aren't you breathing, you can't not be breathing, I have to protect you, I won't forgive you if you don't start breathing this instant! Are you listening?! I'm telling you to start recovering! Please, please, please-

How could I let such a thing... I wasn't here fast enough. I won't forgive myself for not able to protect you.

((Issei's worst fear is being unable to protect a friend. And before anyone asks, the dead body is a virus-induced illusion - I won't really kill off Shirou as an NPC.))

It's not your fault. It's mine. I should have - I should have been able to do something.

The community only does things to its members, or to people its members know.

Then... it's my fault he's dead?

No... I don't think it is. You're a nice person.

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2009-10-21 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
But I'm a failure if I allowed him to be hurt.

W-well... at least he tried? also, strike is a thought here.

Okay. well, shit.
Next- can you tell where the injury is?

Issei will appreciate it.

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2009-10-21 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
It's in his chest, it looks like...

[identity profile] 100thbrokendish.livejournal.com 2009-10-21 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I wish I knew what to do.

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2009-10-21 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
So do I...

No, no, no, it's not your fault! What it will be?

[identity profile] gonnabe1st.livejournal.com 2009-10-21 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
...as dead as can be, huh. Well. Now what?

...alright. Are you hearing the sirens yet?
In any case, did your friend have anything to defend himself with?

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2009-10-21 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I, I think so. They should be coming soon.

That's not really a question regarding someone who makes swords with his mind. I can't believe that he would be overpowered, how could something like this happen-?

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2009-10-21 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
But you said the community did this. If I had left months ago, it would never have targeted him. If I had protected him properly, he'd still be alive-!

[identity profile] gonnabe1st.livejournal.com 2009-10-21 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Good.

Ah, sorry. I wasn't aware.

...do you see signs of struggle then? I don't know what to look for since I can't see the room.

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2009-10-21 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
That's all right. The shed looks the same as it usually does. ...Except for the blood, obviously.

[identity profile] gonnabe1st.livejournal.com 2009-10-21 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright. Sirens getting closer?

Oh and does the shed have a back door?

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2009-10-21 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
They should be here any minute...

No, it's just the one door. Otherwise I wouldn't have needed to break it.

[identity profile] gonnabe1st.livejournal.com 2009-10-21 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Good.

Right, you did mention it was a shed. When was the last time you talked to him before this?

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2009-10-21 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
It was this morning. He'd just gotten back in from his stay in England, and I said I was going to visit... I should have come earlier. This wouldn't have happened if I'd come earlier!

This is an illusion Issei, that's is all.

[identity profile] gonnabe1st.livejournal.com 2009-10-21 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Blaming yourself now changes nothing. Just try and focus. The ambulance isn't going to come to the shed, is it? Going to the front door to show the way might be a good idea.

It feels too real to be one.

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2009-10-21 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll do that. I - I'll answer you again after they leave.

[identity profile] gonnabe1st.livejournal.com 2009-10-21 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright.

Several minutes later.

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2009-10-21 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
He's dead, isn't he.

[identity profile] gonnabe1st.livejournal.com 2009-10-21 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
...yeah. Sorry.
