~♥FORTY-THREE♥~

[Action A]
[Eighteen days. He's been missing for eighteen days - not that he's been able to keep track, honestly. The best he can figure, it's been "about two weeks." About two weeks since they lost and were kidnapped. Some good the modification of the droids did, huh? He recognizes where he's been dropped off, though. He's on the beach.

The cold, snowy, beach.

Groaning, and with a shivering pikachu in his arms, the boy starts his long march to the teleporters, and after that he'll be making a long trek back up to CH1. He's in a torn coat, pants, and shirt and generally looking bruised and tired. No matter how he and Linda get to the apartment, that's their intended destination. He's used to bleeding, and neither him nor his girl seem to be bleeding enough that they need medical attention before they need to just - mercifully, finally - get some decent sleep. He can ask Shikamaru if Katara's back to normal, to know if he should call his Doctor or not.

Either way, they'll sleep. They'll sleep several hours, before he wakes up and then decides to get his things in order.]

[Filtered: Yellow]
Yellow-chan. Think you can do me a favor?

[Filtered: Law and Mia]
I think my Doctor's nice and booked, so can either if you take a house call? [Or he could go to them... whatever]

[Filtered: Wolfwood (Broken)]
Hey, bo--ss. ...Maaah.

[Filtered: Chun-Li (Broken)]
Chun-Li-sannn--- Well that's just a shame.

[Filtered: Green]
You didn't go home too, right? Oh, wow, guess not.

[Maybe he should call Gold and Silver too. Maybe some of his other buddies. ...Nah. Green'll tell the first two, and if he doesn't, then Yellow will. He feels a little lonely, and maybe a little depressed through all the soreness, but it's not like too much has changed. He doesn't really want to face them. Or at least, he doesn't want to call them to face them. Maybe he'll run into them later.]

[Action B]
[After he's recovered more, maybe within the next day or two, he has a greater understanding of what's happened. He remembers them losing, and he remembers fragments of what happened to him at their base. There was a lot of electricity involved, and he tells himself that's why Linda doesn't seem to be able to zap anything effectively at the moment. She's still able to run coils around her, but... No, no.

It's been a tense while, and they're almost at Valentines. In fact, looking back in the journal, that blue guy even suggested something like a warning. So maybe he'll just hit the town. No training for him, because even if he's mostly better (he thinks) he's not sure what's happened to him exactly, or to his mouse. That's why he, with Linda on his shoulder, are sort of walking in the snow aimlessly. Both have scarves he got as various gifts on their necks and he hits a lot of haunts: The Rec Center to play some video games, the Item Shop to see if there's Valentines things, the Library just because, the Welcome Center just... because.

He's not really looking for people, but he's not really looking to avoid people. Honestly, he still feels lonely though. If he's honest with himself, the sensation is similar to - but not the same as - that time after he left the Scarves and before Mikado made it to Tokyo.

And as the day goes on, more and more strange things keep happening. He shocks himself on doors from static electricity, he shorts out the game in the middle of getting a high school (okay, no, but a man can dream), other... things. All based in electricity.]

[Masaomi's Kidnap effect is that his body is electrically charged like he's some sort of electric-based superperson-thing. The level fluctuates and is related to his recovery and skin contact. He can't really control it either. If you see him after the realization he'll be wearing various different types of gloves as he tests out what works and what doesn't. Run into him anywhere around town]

...Ten-chan can heal?

--Ino and Sakura.

[Tenten has zero talent for that sort of thing, so the stories go.]

Oh, right, Sakura-chan... I think she has it bad for me though... that might be bad for my health.

Yeah. [Ha... he remembers how enthused she was.] She's quick-tempered when it comes to your style of flirting.

It might be good for her to see what it's like when people come back from kidnappings... But you're right. It might not go pleasant if you give her reason to clash.

[He can't see Sakura refusing to heal someone. Her bedside manner, though, isn't the best with personalities like Masaomi.

And moods like these just make him more aggressive in that. He's not sure if he's tired enough to not care and dial it back.]

Yeah... she wants me. If she had to get me in my underwear to hit all the bruises, I'd fear for my purity! All "sensei, be my gentle!" A total rail-buster.

[And he laughs at that, but winces because that was both too loud and he agitated a bruise around his abdomen]

[Facepalm.]

She'd bust your skull with your fist, is what she'd do.

[He sighs and gets back up, walking over to the bed.] Don't move so much.

Oh, she doesn't need to beat it into me...

[With a little hum and an eyeroll. Oh well]

[He shakes his head but looks him over.]

Anything feel worse off? You look like a dropped peach.

[He tries to say that with some humor, but verdicts out on how that flies. Nothing looked broken, but what happened to Chouji a long time ago makes him more cautious about these things.]

Surprisingly, I don't think I've bled out everywhere.

[That seems to be his staple. Particularly head wounds. He says it irreverently, but then goes and flexes his arms and his fingers, only wincing a little]

I think I have some burns too.

Do you remember how you got them?

[She glances at Linda, and then sighs]

Well, they're electrical.

That's not the question.

Then "not distinctly."

[He frowns, then sits on one corner of the bed soundlessly.

The bruises don't require much thought. The Rogues aren't the type to handle with care. It might've just been torture between that and the burns, but practicing sadism, you want your guy to be awake to feel it--

He blinks. There's a thought.]

Did you feel any of that, in your sleep?

Well, my muscles are a bit more tense in this arm, so I guess she shocked me.

[At which point he glances at his girl again and frowns, recalling how her electricity's been failing on and off lately.

[He nods, affirming that.]

I'm not sure if it's because you're tired, or used to it. [Or something else.] Even something weak would usually get a reaction.

Ho..oh. Pity I can't just lick an electrical plug.

Keep holding her like that, and you probably won't have to.

Yeah...? [And he pets her, his other hand reaching to get a bit more rice. It's basically done, but]

She's been restless.

That's not surprising...

[Frown]

[His fingers tighten but he relaxes them. Exhale.]

...need anything else?

Yeah, you got my journal and want to set up three... no, I'm going to need five filters.

[He rolls his eyes, but there's a smirk.

Other days, he's probably told Masaomi more than once it'd be easier to teach him how to make a stronger filter than having to come after him every time he needs one.

There's no complaint now; he's too grateful to have his friend back and something to do, and moves to give him a pat on the shoulder before intending to fetch his journal.]

[He grins. He probably can get pretty strong, but it's just easier to rely on Shikamaru. He can do it faster and better than him, after all. With the food done and waiting he falls back on the bed to rest more]
