[ He sees... hears... the other two tuning their radios and doesn't they need a third fucking radio-tuner in case they just get three radio voices all overlapping at once and it's already hard to hear when they're hurtling at ? miles an hour in a dark-ass cave mine.

He just kind of sinks deeper into his own mine cart... as low as he can fit his 6'8" body in there....... and is just kind of astral projecting like 'get me out of this stupid field trip already'.

And then you know, there goes Dokja, Mikazuki is still here.

-- Wait, what the fu --

[ He is staying on the track too I guess. ]

[ damn. he did the smart thing.

well, Dokja in fact does have a light source. sure he could abandon ship but why would he do that when he can just rummage for his flashlight and turn it on. he's less cautious so he'll give in to curiosity.

hi, what this? ]

[also if they're not friendly he can just kill them.
> they're not friendly

the pickaxe lands on his shoulder, but he decides the radio is less important now. he drops it onto the floor of his own mining cart, bringing up one hand to try to grasp onto where the corpse is digging the pickaxe into his shoulder, forcing it up. his other hand reaches for his sword - himself - and will just.

move to cut the corpse right in half.

normally he'd laugh? he'd ask aikawa how he's doing? he'd provide some backup?

but like.

every man for himself.]

[ Well, this wasn’t how he planned on his day going when he woke up this morning but suppose this may as well happen.

Good news! A lower spine injury is actually completely new and he has not experienced this. Bad news! HE HAS A FUCKING SPINAL INJURY AND IS NOW APPARENTLY PARAPLEGIC.

At the least, he was able to be efficient before that happened to him because he had a 16, reacting fast enough despite the collision and chaos to immediately flick out his knife and slice at these corpses. Recognition or not, it’s a bit of a different story when they’re in this situation and they’re very obviously now the living dead. May Jiji have an easier time when the zombos are missing an hand or arm or what have you, and it does keep him from falling straight down into the abyss, but.

You know. Pickaxe to the spine.

He can barely even make a sound at that.

(Aikawa Voice) I'm seriously at my limit

[ i'm that meme where i'm like yeah i lost kim dokja can i borrow the announcement real quick "goodbye you little shit"

he blinks once. twice and just ]


Yoo Joonghyuk?

[ he is truly caught briefly off guard. he has no idea what is happening. no, think again dokja, this happens on these trips. you shouldn't be surprised by this. annnd he gets smacked in the face ]

--Watch it, you bastard!

[ WHY ARE YOU KICKING HIM. this is in character and he isn't even shocked by it but he's going to try and duck and turn his light around to see if there is. anywhere else to go from here. what are his options? ignores the sunfish bastard dangling high above him. ]

[death comes again - and mikazuki blinks when he recognizes the direction they have taken. he hums faintly to himself, almost as though taking note... and shifts uncomfortably even in his own skin. it is odd, to be him... and not him.

i am always myself, he had said to others - but he supposes that's being put into question here.

he flicks the blood off his blade, attempting to clean it - himself? - of corpse remains before re-sheathing it.]


... your legs, Aikawa? Shall we proceed onward?

[this time gesturing to the different path and... waiting. yeah, he's actually waiting for aikawa is okay to confirm and then they can move on]

[ He throws his radio to the ground. ]

Shut the fuck up! Shut up already! Fuck!

[ He’s had it up to here with this weird looping bullshit. Sure, he can walk again, which is nice, but the sharp stabbing pain in his back is a reminder that whatever that was, it did happen to some extent. And with the determination granted to him starting to wane, he’s really plateauing, on the dangerous precipice of a nosedive.

And then with that, he’s the one who’s going to act out I guess because he’s just going to JUST START GOING UP THAT DIFFERENT PATH.

[ that's fine, the bastard would probably just call him a fool anyways. he frowns at seeing the different directions ahead. down... or up...

he looks back, as if expecting to hear the others but it's just. silence.

well, not entirely. that familiar cry has him at full alert, looking in direction of the sound. ]


...Biyoo?

[ he'll try to carefully move in direction of the sound. can he tell if it is up? down? or is it just echoing around? if he were himself he would consider going back the way he came for signs of his fellow cyoaers and be cautious of the voice that sounds so familiar to him. alas, he will try and head towards that cry instead. ]

[oh aikawa is in a mood.... as they begin to walk down toward that way, jiji hums faintly and honestly? will start listening for any faint sounds of scritch scratch or bawk bawks. bobchansan ditched him closer to the mansion, but now he's worried..... or at least 50% worried.

though he will stay focused and offer - ]


Not through the fence, Aikawa. It took me to the mansion last time, so I believe we ought go another way.

... will you be alright through the cave?

[if he's not then jiji can kill him like lowe asked (no)]

[personal profile] decaptych 2022-06-23 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh please do kill him. Just smash him so he can go on autopilot for a while.

He'll just nod curtly. He isn't even looking for anything -- you have your chicken, Dokja somewhere is looking for his little riceball Biyoo. Aikawa, on the other hand, is rapidly approaching this mood.

Let's go to the cave. Just hope to God or whoever else that it has something that'll get them out.

[ further down... well, then that's where he'll head. he will watch his step as he takes the path, coming to the fork and glancing to the radio. guess he may as well fiddle with it despite his hand. go on radio. tell us your new secrets as he takes the path that leads down. ]

Biyoo!

[ my riceball (?) ]

[oh radio.... well.

he tunes it again, reliably. aikawa was mad about his but time to see what creepy message they get next! nice.]


... I wonder who they might make us see.

[idly, as he thinks about those voices. time to wander off to follow in that direction, trusting that aikawa will. probably go the same way? time to find out]

Who the fuck knows.

[ He's only barely biting his tongue from saying 'who cares', because whoever it is, at least one person is someone likely important to Mikazuki, and he likes Mikazuki enough to not be a mean ass at him.

He will kind of lag behind a little bit, but after a moment and a slight 'tch', he will follow yes.

[ a ball of fluff....

you can't really mistake that white fluff entirely. round, very large in size, of course he would like it for her but. what does that mean on a trip that is this? something to think about, things to consider if he was thinking more properly but

alas, he's just focused on heading in direction of that white ball of fluff. if he was less cautious maybe he'd be more careful about approaching but no he's just. going right in. biyoo biyoo biyoo ]


It's taken a lot just to get a glimpse of you, you know?

[oh.

everything about jiji's posture eases when they arrive. despite his own worries about the tricks, even the facsimile of his master makes something in his shoulders relax. his sword was bloodied earlier, this body crushed and maimed, but even for the chance to remember what - who - it was all for, then he cares so little.

(you, my reason has always been—)]


... let us not turn back.

[doing anything else would just leave them trapped here, wouldn't it? and ultimately - if there is even the chance that this could become even close to enough to reach his saniwa, then he likely would take this chance every time.

this is his own salvation.]

[ He doesn’t necessarily resist, but he certainly wants to. As it is, he just sticks his hands into his pockets and keeps his gaze downwards, not meeting the eyes of the shadowed figures. Neither Aruji, nor Nikaido.

No recognition, warm smiles, no warm reunion.

Only a cold, distant, somber quiet, not bridging the gap that she so desperately wants him to return from.

[ me in tears

it's as if he expected as much, for her to not wait and he already welcomes her with his arms open. taking her right in his hold as he holds her protectively, warmly, remembering the feeling of her in his arms once more.

there's a look of fond when he regards her. that familial love a father holds for their daughter so clear on his face. she feels so warm. real. there's a sigh of relief, burying his face just slightly into her fur. ]


Biyoo, you've been very strong. But I'm here now. I promised I'd always protect you, didn't I?

[ the radio cackles and he knows it's important. they probably have to make their way. back... back out of the mines? to the start? they are gonna have quite the ways to go if so. ]

Stay with me, alright?
