[And if anyone happened to want to find Kidou or stumbled upon him, he's at a terminal down one of the dorm halls. A bit of blood is splattered across the keyboard thanks to his coughing fits and he's either having one of those said coughing fits or just sitting on the seat in front of the terminal, hugging his knees to his chest as he waits for replies.

Also said gem in question? It's..... well, it's not black.

just going to sickly placehold here okay DON'T JUDGE ME

[nomessiah]

Where are you?

[ it would help if you said who you were first, urotsuki, anon text doesn't help any with all of this.. but it's already pretty difficult to use common sense for her, and it's even more difficult when both her mind and body are starting to screw up. ]

i would never judge you bby

[sayakawashere]

at a computer dorm floor 2

ooh mister blake ooh?!

[nomessiah]

[ She doesn't even answer, instead she immediately heads over there. There's probably some blood on her own clothes (or, well, the clothes aren't exactly her own, but still) as well from the coughing, but she doesn't seem too fazed by that - instead there's a worried expression on 'her' face once she comes close enough to see 'Kidou' sitting there. ]

... I'm here.

(-@=@-)

[sayakawashere]

[He looks up from his seat and offers her a smile.]

Yo, Urotsuki...

[jasonsaloser]

<sub>[...And then the worst case scenario came true.

Sayaka had to try three times to read the whole post through, blurred as her vision was - she had to focus on a wobbling word at a time in order to make it stay legible enough to understand. She rubs at her eyes for about the tenth time, and tries to think of what to do.

As long as Enoch sees this, he can help. What could she do if she went there but the real help was too late..? Use hissatsu on the Witch? Those memories just don't feel clear enough, and she's not sure she should embrace them, either... it feels like prying, like invading somewhere she shouldn't be. Technically, that is what's happening.

..There was still one Grief Seed left. There was something bad about that one, though. It couldn't even clean much more without being dangerous, but that wasn't the only reason, even if that reason escapes her right now--

It was still worth a shot.]</sub>

Kidou. Think about the happiest thing you can, okay? Help's coming.

_{[Gosh that's about the worst advice in the world, like that ever worked for her, but..!]}

[sayakawashere]

im trying but its hard

[It's really hard.. especially when you're just remembering really terrible things and for some reason you just felt absolutely awful today like you shouldn't even be alive...


But ok he'll try... happy thoughts.....]

im so sorry sayaka i promised i wouldn't let this happen

[jasonsaloser]

<sub>[At least it's not far to her dorm and wherever Kidou is - same floor, and Sayaka knows where all the terminals are by now.

..She's about to take off when she sees the reply.]</sub>

think about seeing haruna again. think about urotsuki. just the best parts, and hold onto those. hold on to being kidou.

_{[..being Kidou would be better than being Sayaka today, for some reason she's really certain of. Something about the date. ..not sure what.]}

[sayakawashere]

alright...

[Haruna.. he hasn't seen Haruna for a while, has he? He wanted to see her again, he really did, but at the same time he felt like he didn't really care... like she was just some stranger. But she wasn't, she was his sister...


Ugh, all these mixed feelings were confusing.]

I won't let it get any darker from here on, I promise...

[Yes Kidou just calm down for now... just calm down and think about how you're turning 15 today, that's exciting, right?


Wait.

What?]

[dreamingmessiah]

How do the rest of us help?

-Urotuski -Aleph -Urotsuki or Aleph -Aleph

[sayakawashere]

i don't know

[dreamingmessiah]

Do you want other people to be there with you? Maybe that would help a little bit.

[sayakawashere]

maybe.. if that was ok with you

{Wow he's never felt so childish before... definitely going to be super embarrassed after this.]

text

[homurosa]

I too am looking for him.

[She does not know why, or who he even is, but she knows it has something to do with her gem, which is going dark as well.]

[sayakawashere]

are you okay

[homurosa]

My gem is black

[Rosa stops and looks at the screen. When had she learned how to text?]

[text]

[warriorscribe]

I know where Kidou is now, but where are you?

*He will probably wind up running to this other person after he's found Kidou.*

[magicalsoccer]

[Sakuma wakes that morning with the feeling that today is important somehow-- or rather, important to someone important to him-- although he can't put his finger on what exactly. Still, despite the confusion, coughing and blurry vision, he ventures out to look for that someone. Why, he doesn't know exactly.

As he walks, he keeps a hand on the wall to keep himself steady. When he spots a blue haired girl, suddenly he remembers. Excitedly, he calls out;]

Sayaka! Hap--

[Wait, what's he doing? That's not Sayaka and he's not Madoka. When he realizes that, he notices that the person before him doesn't look too well.]

K-kidou.

[Yeah, that's right. This is Kidou right now.]

Kidou, are you alright?

[sayakawashere]

[He doesn't respond immediately, until he realizes that he was being addressed. Right, he was Kidou, not Sayaka.

He lifts his head and opens his mouth to say hello but before he can speak, he's hit by another coughing fit and he covers his mouth with his hand, a little bit of blood dripping down said hand after a few really rough coughs.]

[magicalsoccer]

[Immediately Sakuma is at his side, holding onto his shoulders.]

Kidou!

[His brows are furrowed tightly. For once, his mind and the body's memories seem to agree in that he should be worried about this person.]

[sayakawashere]

[He takes his hand away from his mouth once the coughing has subsided and stares at the blood on it for a moment before looking over at Sakuma, not bothering to try to muster a smile.]

Yo Madoka... [...wait]

... Sorry, Sakuma.

*Reading other threads gave him an idea of where to go, at least, so he didn't waste time asking. After asking the other one where they were, that is.*

This is Enoch. I will be there soon.

*And no sooner had he sent that than he got up and ran for the stairs - at least he was on the third floor. He slowed to a jog as he passed the terminals, slowing and turning into the nook he sees Kidou in.

For a second, all he sees is the blood and Kidou's posture. He really was in bad shape...and he catches the dark glint on his (Sayaka's) finger...*

Kidou, I'm here. Quickly, let me see your soul gem.

[sayakawashere]

Enoch.. [He stands up from his chair and holds out the hand with the ring like he was told.]

Thank you for helping me...

I honestly have no idea if it would or wouldn't work on the ring form...

[warriorscribe]

*...Can he purify it as a ring like that? It might as well be worth a try.

Enoch reaches out, his hand beginning to glow a faint green as he passes it slowly over the ring, trying to purify the taint as he did with Sayaka's gem before. If it works, the light will intensify until they both need to close their eyes. If it doesn't, failure won't explicitly harm it, at least...*

action.

[inyourhair]

[ Whenever his body would give out on him and react violently to the ego known as "Fudou Akio", he would shut himself up in his room, waiting for the pain to pass by before going out again. He didn't want anyone to see him in such a pathetic state, after all. But feeling as if the pain would continue to torture him eternally, he believed that there was no time and that there was no choice but to move. Just something... he needed to do something.

He wouldn't let his friends die for a second time.

...As if. They weren't his friends. They were his friends - that other guy. He had no time to worry about people he knew nothing about despite having spent "time" with them. What he needed to do was...

He fumbled onto the ground, aimlessly shoving his things aside until his hand touched upon a round and smooth surface. He grabbed for it and stumbled out the door, not bothering to close it behind him. Using the walls as his guide, he slowly paced forward until his legs bumped into an obstacle ahead. He noticed a cloud of yellow aura below him after squinting his eyes. ]

Move it. You're in the way.

[ He coughs a couple times afterwards, not sounding very threatening, but tries to hold the rest in. ]

[sayakawashere]

[That voice... he recognizes it as John's voice which meant it was...]

Fudou? [He stares at the other for a moment. Fudou was... no one he's met before...

Wait, no, Fudou was his friend, his teammate. And by the looks of it, he was having a hard time too.

He gets up out of his chair and puts a hand on Fudou's shoulder, his brow furrowed. Even though he knew his own situation was pretty bad, he couldn't help but worry over his teammate.]

Are you alright?
