voice; open to everyone

[billionboy]

OH, SHIT, CAESAR-- [ The voice sounds panicked since he is accesses the telepathy first to get obviously Caesar's attention before -- ] FUCK -- shit -- rocks! Ah! That hur-- ow! How long is -- goddamn hill! Ack! Ow-ow-ow-- shitfuckass!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

...Oof.

[ Long pause, muffled. ] I tripped.

Comments

also voice because

[girasole]

[He'd been gone for maybe five minutes. "Go look to the west, or what I think is west," he said. "I think the cave I found is around here. We can split up and then come back together," he said. "It's more efficient if we do this - we can use our telepath-..." and then he grimly stared thinking about how useful telepathy might have been in the not-so-distant-past before continuing "Telepathy to communicate," he said.

And then this.

And then fucking this.]

Okuyasu! [First you're interested in furry porn. Then you get stoned. And then you offer to let a near-stranger have your bed while you sleep on the floor when he barges in because there's a pig in his bed. And then probably other things happen. And then this.

This is why he worries. He didn't ask for this life. He had a plan. It was to find the ring, find a way back, and then go back home and finish things. Not this.] Which hill did you trip on? Was it the one with the rock...thing?

voice;

[billionboy]

Yeah? What is it?

[ Muffled response. ] It did have a few rock things, yeah. I am gonna lie here for a second. I lost my footing while climbing over -- that really fucking hurt.

I rolled all the way down. I thought if ya rolled that it'd be less painful. Who said that?!

also voice until further notice

[fivefingerdeathpunch]

[It's Shouty Murder-san and Jotaro's boar buddy, so of course he's butting in here. Hi guys!]

I think the rolling thing is for flat surfaces. Do you have any injuries?

[billionboy]

Yeah, I do! I fell down a hill.

Mostly a sprained wrist and ankle, I think. It isn't broken, isn't it?! Isn't this how people die on mountains?! I don't wanna die at the bottom of a hill in another world, Jotaro!

[girasole]

Why are you going to die? You're not going to die. Don't be a fool. All we need to do is to find someone who can heal you, at worst.

[billionboy]

Because of uh, falling outside in the wilderness?

Still, Caesar, is that really how it is at worst? Really?

[girasole]

[For the record, if Okuyasu wasn't so Pure, capital P intended, he'd get a snarky comment.]

It really is. In regards to animals the worst we've seen are the crabs and boars and neither of them will kill you.

[Anybody who cuts in with a comment about the dangers of wildlife is going to be told to shut up.]

[fivefingerdeathpunch]

[Nature nerd and recent boar-escapee modes activated.]

You didn't have to run from one of them, did you.

[girasole]

Shut up!

[TRYING TO BE REASSURING HERE.]

[fivefingerdeathpunch]

If you're going to lie to make someone feel better, don't do it where everyone can hear.

[The lying part is fine, though.]

[girasole]

If you knew I was lying to make him feel better then why did you have to cut in and say something? Do you not want him to feel better?

[billionboy]

[ weakly: ] ... am I actually going to die out here?

[fivefingerdeathpunch]

No, Okuyasu.

[girasole]

No, Okuyasu.

[billionboy]

... well, ok.

You both said it real fast so I'll believe it. [ Long pause. ] Ah! I got a huge bruise on my leg and my pants' leg is ripped. I don't care that much about that but these are like my only pants from back home... this is kind of depressing.

[girasole]

It'll be fine. There's someone who can summon refrigerators with a wave of his hand. I'm sure there's someone who has magical pants-mending powers, or, if not, that we can think of something to fix them.

[tropism]

Yes. You will.

[billionboy]

Don't go chiming in with such a gloomy answer to this, Gio!

[fivefingerdeathpunch]

[Anyway, reassurances aside...]

I want him to feel better because he knows he can count on people, not because someone's given him a false sense of security.

[And he didn't actually know Caesar was lying, but accusing him seemed like a good way to get him to fess up if he hadn't had to deal with the boars yet. Protag logic!]

[girasole]

That logic only works if you assume that I'm not actually looking for him in the first place, and, as such, would actually show that he can count on me. And in the meantime all you're doing is having him panic about having a boar run over him until I can get there.

[fivefingerdeathpunch]

[That... is an awful lot to extrapolate from what Jotaro just said, and he kind of wonders what this guy's so defensive about, but he has a good point about the worrying Okuyasu part so Jotaro's gonna focus on that for now.]

He has a wilder imagination than I'm used to. I'll try to do better.

[fivefingerdeathpunch]

Caesar's out there with you, right? As long as he's not short or weak, he should be able to get you back here.

[billionboy]

Caesar! You're pretty tall but are you okay to carry someone? You're not actually really weak even though you don't look like it, right? Jotaro's wondering!

[girasole]

One: don't listen to him. Two: of course I can carry someone! Three: if he's so concerned he might as well come out here himself and see to you.

[fivefingerdeathpunch]

Gimme a break...

[Ah, instinctive interjections.]

Of course I could come out there and help, but if Okuyasu can't walk back on his own we shouldn't leave him alone too long.
