002: Video/Action--Backdated to after the attack

Video:
[The view that shows on the D-Terminal is nothing more than the giant crater left behind after the attack. There's some lingering dust floating around, but otherwise, it's just a vast...nothing. Duo's breathing can be heard in the background, heavy as though catching his breath. That was a pretty steep slope to climb, but he did it...

And now there's nothing to go back to. He's lucky to even be alive, he knows, but of course, he made a deal with Death before. That's all this is, right? This is part of the deal? He can live while others die.

Like Solarmon.

The screen moves to focus on a Digiegg that seems to be resting next to Duo. His hands are shaking ever so slightly now, either from strain or from nerves it's hard to say at first. That is...until he actually speaks.
]

I-I found it...Solarmon's gone and I found this when I woke up. I dunno what it's for and I dunno where I am and...and...

[There's a quiet sniffle before his voice drops.]

Why does this keep happening?

[The feed cuts out just as the view of Mount Fuji shows up.]

Action:
[Duo is sitting on the edge of the crater with a Digiegg sitting next to him. His D-Stream and D-Terminal are also on the ground with the Digiegg. He's covered in dirt, his cassock is torn, and the only thing he has left from the party was the mask Roze gave him to wear for the masquerade. It's hanging around his neck, the actual mask turned around backwards to face behind him.

He's shaking, and in an attempt to try and stay warm, he's curled up some with his knees pulled to his chest. His eyes are focused solely on the crater, though really, he's not focused on anything at all. He's simply staring, lost in his own little world.

Nah, he's not broken. It's kind of like being sick, you know? Solarmon just has to rest and he'll be all better.

[There's a pause, and then the D-Terminal gets handed back to Shiki.] How are you feeling, Duo?
headseraph: Shiki with her hands extended out in a "ta-da" sort of gesture. (shiki: they're actually pretty hip.)

[personal profile] headseraph 2014-01-10 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
That's good. [She wasn't too worried about that, but it's still good to know.] I'm glad you're okay. Are you heading to HospiTown?
headseraph: Shiki, hand her her mouth, giggling. (shiki: oh blue!)

[personal profile] headseraph 2014-01-14 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not really sure either. [She laughs, a little abruptly, because this whole things is ridiculous and it's getting to her.] The Trailmon are supposed to be able to take you there, though. It's supposed to be our new home.
headseraph: Shiki looking contemplative. (shiki: umm . . .)

[personal profile] headseraph 2014-01-15 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe. [She's not going to lie about it, not to Duo.] Everything seems kind of . . . ridiculous, you know?
headseraph: Shiki standing with her arms folded behind her. (shiki: i can't stay out too late.)

[personal profile] headseraph 2014-01-19 09:28 am (UTC)(link)
. . . Something seriously went wrong with your data restructure.

I think I'm just kind of just. Stressed out. I feel like the world fell apart and now all I can do is laugh otherwise I'll start crying.
headseraph: Shiki wincing as she turns away. (shiki: no not like this)

[personal profile] headseraph 2014-01-22 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry, sorry. [She doesn't know what she's apologizing for. Herself, maybe.] I'm just. I'll be fine. Don't worry about me.
headseraph: Shiki, eyes downcast, with her arms folded behind her. (shiki: another party's ended)

[personal profile] headseraph 2014-01-26 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Shiki smiles.] Thank you. For worrying about me.
