...I almost feel bad looking at the network today, haha!

--Huh? Where did she go? I was just talking t--Takano-san...

Ahh, man! No one believed me about the City. They all said I must've dreamed it or was--was...was...

I'M BACK?!? You can't be serious, even after I--

...This sucks! O-oi, Rika? Are you still here too?

...I'm out! It took a while to heal up, but I'm outta that place and I'm glad. The apartment looks just fine. Dusty, but fine. And there's no weird noises anymore, either.

I guess I could kick back and relax, but I don't really want to just sit around! There's gotta be a good job out there for me, right? I'd make a good...delivery boy, right? C'mon, get it together! In a place like this, there's countless cooler jobs than that I could be doing.

...Oh, hey. Is there another curse going on or what?

[ooc; ...Already breaking semi-hiatus but to be fair it doesn't really kick up until tomorrow. Worried Keiichi is still more worried than he lets on, but at least it isn't paranoia induced this time!]

[stirring finally, after being knocked out for a long time since this]

...W...

What happened? I can hardly remember a-a thing. I feel like I got hit by a damn truck--or someone broke my neck. O-ow...[sits up, rubs his neck which is heavily bandaged, along with his head and waist]

I didn't...really do that to that one guy, right? That was a bad dream, right?

Ghhnk--[leans over in pain] I guess I'm not--feeling so much better after all.

[ooc; long story short, Keiichi 'killed' Viral and uh got the shit beaten out of him by Hibari. In addition to almost scratching his own throat out and nearly going into hemorrhagic shock. He's...alive! Amazingly. And is recovering. People who know him are free to know he's in the hospital. \o\

[VOICE POST/Comment log if you want?]

[A hard thud as Keiichi slams up against something metal, perhaps the side of a phone booth?]

G-geh...hehh... I shouldn't have gone to the hospital, I-I shouldn't h-- I go in for a check up and they hook me up to all those needles...all those shots they wouldn't tell me about. I'm glad I got out. B-but...augh.

They're everywhere, I can feel them in my veins. Whatever the gave me there...it made them worse! I've gotta get them out, I've gotta, I've gotta...do something. All of them have gotta come out. If I don't, they'll--

[a crackle and a fizzle of the communicator as it fades in and out]

They won't stop coming...Why won't they stop!?

...So that was a curse, huh? It got pretty nasty out there... So you were all being fake spies? Huh. Glad I wasn't affected by it. I wish there was some way to avoid them entirel--Hold on.

[sounds of getting up, running over to the door, and opening it, a sharp swear, and slamming it shut.]

This place is starting to bug me.

[ooc; There's no one there, guys. :(]

It feels good to be out of those clothes and into something normal! I found the apartments, and when I got in, it had just what I needed, a change of clothes, a place to sleep, a kitchen, and a bathroom...

The rest of it's kinda bare though, maybe I should get a couch or something. TV if they have it here too.

...But! That would require money from this place, which I don't have, which means I should get a job or something. I'll go job hunting...later. I want to finish reading the guide. The more I know about this place, the better start I have learning how to get home, right?

Right...I think. Hope.

[Action Post/Voice post!]

[A teenage boy seems to be lost and wandering the fountain area! He's boldly donning a fabulous outfit, but he doesn't seem to be very happy about it.]

OOOI! Mion! I don't remember it being part of the game to dump the loser somewhere new, eh?

Seriously, though? I don't know this place at all. It's nowhere near Hinamizawa, so either Mion went way too far with her little prank or Rena knocked me out and took me home...and I'm dreaming!

Never remembered a dream this realistic, though...

... Maybe I should get a change of clothes before finding help.
