samezu_kai | THROWS mu Kai at Gao canon

(Sooo out of practice with this, sorry. D:)

A cave. He's in a fucking cave. Why. Where the hell is here and what happened to the base?

Damn it, is anyone else even around? Times like this, being able to talk and yell for people would be helpful.

Fuck.

He's not talking, either! And he's not even in his night clothes -

Maybe Black knows something. I can hear some scuffling, so I call hopefully back along the corridor. "Black! Blaaaaack! What have you done to Blue?"

After a while, Cow-san comes plodding out in his black and white pyjamas, yawning.

Black? Who's...

Shit. Shit shit fuck fuck fuck. Ushigome. Why is he here too??

I back up so fast I don't realise I'm about to hit a wall until I do, then I realise I'm trapped. There's no way out of this room without going past him.

My fingers start scrabbling at the wall and I can feel my breathing speeding up. Damn it, no, don't fall apart. There's no one here to help me this time. If I want to get out of here, I need to do it myself.

It would help if my knees didn't feel like they were about to give out on me.

Feels like someone hit me. I'm slumped against a wall, dizziness flushing through me. But prodding my head carefully, my jaw, the base of my skull, doesn't find any actual wounds? What the hell happened?

...I'm in a cave.

I probably should have shoes on. The sand of it feels fairly uniform under my feet, at least, but the light is terrible. I don't particularly want to bleed wherever this is. If it's some kind of accident, someone kidnapped me, or I just got very drunk, it still wouldn't be good to leave a blood trail.

There's a little light over that way.

I pick up speed when I realise Kai's plastered against the wall with terror on his face, and Ushigome's standing in front of him. I skid in between the two of them, raising the hydrospanner I didn't even realise I was holding. Gaku starts spluttering, but Kai behind me is the only one I'm worried about. "You all right? Did he touch you?"

Shirogane! Oh, thank fuck.

I shake my head, trying desperately not to throw myself at him, I'm that relieved to see him.

From:

[canon Gaku]

Black looks like he's about to cry. Silver has no shoes on, is scruffy as anything (apart from his hair) (of course) and just threw himself in front of Blue.

I'm so confused!

"Hold on, hold on, hold on," I babble. "No one's done anything to anyone! We're all part of a team here! Blue, what the hell's going on? Silver, why are you freaking out?"

Team? Team? That's a joke. Ushigome doesn't work with people, he uses them until he done with them. And he's acting all upset but it's not like it's the first time he's tried that.

Pretty sure panic is turning into hysteria and I'm not sure that's actually any better.

Watch yourself, I tell Shirogane. He likes to play upset, gives him more ways to fuck you over.

From:

sadgoobers

[Gaku]

Shit.

I tug at Black, pulling him away. We need to end this standoff and figure out what the hell is going on.

"Look after him," I say inadequately to Silver, nodding at Blue. He gives me a wary look but he steps back, puts a hand on Blue's shoulder. "Come on. Everyone get calmed down then we can figure this out."

Look after me?

I don't need looking after, I just need Ushigome away from me. Which Pillow guy seems to be doing, so at least something's going right. I don't relax as they leave the room, not right away. Just in case he's lurking to catch me off guard again.

From:

sadgoobers

[Shirogane]

He - is that Gaku? I vaguely know him - tugs Ushigome around a corner, and I turn to Kai properly. I'm careful to position us so between us we have a full range of vision. This is such a strange place.

"He might not've meant it badly," I say, trying to placate, but this is unsettling me, too. "Ushigome wasn't exactly behaving like himself, and that other guy seemed to know both of us."

I huff and fold my arms.

He's good at mind games, I remind him.

Suddenly there's a yell and what sounds like a fight going on out there.

"I will fucking end you if you've hurt him! Where is he?"

...Ragi? Is he here too?

I'm back here, I send. And I'm fine, you don't need to threaten anyone.

From:

sadgoobers

[Gaku]

If I can get out of this without having a heart attack, it'll be magic.

Another Blue. Another. How many of them are there?! I yank him off Black and shake him a couple times to try to make him calm the hell down. "There's another you out there, if that's what you mean!"

This one I do, I send back, lashing out as someone pulls me off Ushigome. Not before I got off a good punch at his face though, hah. Take that.

I pull away from the guy shaking me with a glare, not deigning to talk to him, not if he's with him, already turning in Kai's direction as he points. Kai's presence is everywhere here, it's almost impossible to pin down exactly where he is.

Ah, there.

"There you are," I say as I walk into the open cave. Kai's leaning against a wall, looking pale but standing under his own power. Shirogane's there too, one hand on his shoulder, the other clutching a wrench. Huh, Ushigome didn't have any wrench shaped injuries, he must not have had the chance to use it.

"Here we are," I agree, speaking out loud for now. It's not exactly impossible for Kai to pick me up mentally, but I don't want to push it for the two of them. It takes a lot of focus and I need to be watchful of what's happening here.

It's a relief to see Ragi.

"So this means we're not having a joint hallucination, then? Where the hell is the base?"

From:

samezu_kai

"Well, it wouldn't be the first time," I say dryly, leaning against the wall next to Kai and nudging his shoulder. "But unless you somehow managed to drag me into it this time, no. Not a shared hallucination. And I have no idea what happened to the base either."

I pause, tilting my head as an unpleasant thought arrives. "It is shielding against random transporter beams, right?"

From:

sadgoobers

[Shirogane]

Ragi, at least, looks normal. Small and pissy and protective. (It's a relief to see him.)

My eyes go wide at that. "I - I think so? But I know they've had some problems with the generator lately. I helped Naoto patch it yesterday..."

From:

samezu_kai

Fuck.

"Well, that's just great," I grumble. "Do we even know where we are? I mean, everyone we've seen so far has been human. Is it some kind of, I don't know, free colony the Alliance hasn't got round to crushing yet?

From:

sadgoobers

[Shirogane]

There's growing light in this big cavern thing. I frown, trying to get a sense of where it's coming from. "Is that sunrise?"

Kai's safe enough with Ragi there. I pad over to the - doorway? Is that what it is? Then yelp and have to grab at the wall before I fall out.

"Wherever we are, we're flying!"

What's going on out here? Is it an Org attack? I can't believe they'd dare come here, though, even at night. We kick their asses enough without them trying it on our home ground.

Huh, Black looks awful. Yellow looks grumpy, but that's nothing new.

"What's going on?" I yawn, padding over to Black to poke at him. "What happened to you?"

From:

sadgoobers

[Black]

I flinch back from Blue, then grab at his finger, and grab at his shoulder.

"You don't hate me?" I ask, wonderingly.

Yellow's massaging the bridge of his nose. "You see him too, Black, right? There's another Blue?"

From:

samezu_kai

I blink, wondering if I heard that right, then scowl at him for being an idiot. "Of course I don't hate you," I snap. "Why would I hate you?"

My head snaps round as Yellow says that. "Hey!" I protest, "there's only one Blue!"

I stare at them suspiciously. "Are you trying to be funny?" Or is this some weird shared dreaming thing? That's a thing, right?

From:

sadgoobers

"Yes, he's here," Black agrees, scratching his head.

I point out into the main cavern. "Stick your head out there. But carefully. I don't actually want you to lose it."

From:

samezu_kai

I give him another suspicious look, but stick my head round the corner into the main room, only for my jaw to drop in outrage.

There's two impostors in there and one of them's snuggling up to Silver like glue.

"Hey!"

From:

sadgoobers

[Gaku]

I squawk, grabbing him by the collar and hauling him back.

"Keep your voice down! You don't want them to attack you! You don't know how dangerous Blues can be!"

"But there are fake mes out there!" I hiss. I can't believe anyone would dare. "And one of them's cuggling Silver like he's a teddy bear. Silver!"

How? Why? Silver gets twitchy if you get too into his personal space, so I don't bother, but a fake can get away with it? Outrage!

Wait. "You think I'm dangerous?" Aw, Yellow, I didn't know you cared.
