[the display flickers on with a loud, muffled bump]

--finally got you, you stupid--

[KRRRAAAACKLE. electricity flickers across the screen in very familiar fashion and the snarling yelp that follows is almost lost in the bang of the communicator flying to the other side of the room, where it lands with an odd crunch -- once the image stabilizes, you can see a very nice view of a glass-strewn floor (the high school may be slightly draftier now) along with a view halfway up the comm owner's torso]

... Gah-!! So that's the spell... stupid thing! [the rest of him comes into view as he bends to pick up a shard of glass and fling it useless in the communicator's direction; it misses by a mile] Why'd I even bother looking for you, anyway?!

[in other news, this dumb pup is looking much the worse for the wear -- mostly scrapes and more or less shallow wounds and the standard roughed-up and blood-crusted clothes, but mostly he just looks like he hasn't slept in days, which is more or less accurate]

[there's a moment of silence where he sways on his feet]

... 'Tch. Shut up, you useless asshole-- [his voice weakens to a mutter before it rises again and breaks] --not ever gonna listen to a guy like you! So fuck... fuck off!

[have an exciting slow-mo of him sliding down the wall, hands flying to his temples] Ignis... Magia-- Flame Fang Explosio--

... Ha.

[it is at this point that he keels right over]

[after a long moment, a snore cracks the silence]

[OOC: Broke into the high school via window after the kekkai fell; his comm was in there the whole time, ty Kan-chan. Responses will be ICly delayed due to epic and much-needed snoring session. Feel free to attempt to badger him over the network or in person, though. 8)]

[there's a nonsensical mumble as he rubs his eyes and peers at the comm some more; he hasn't registered who you are yet]

Busy not gettin' run over by giant bugs.

[failhound.livejournal.com]

What are you talking about? [slightly irritable] I don't--

[wait -- blinking at his surroundings, what the hell is he doing here -- wait] Huh. D'I fall asleep?

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

Why would I lie about it?! You saw it, didn't you?

And yeah, what else would they be?

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

So why'd you ask? [unsympathetic forever]
