voicemail.
[Following the "record your voicemail at the beep" message--]
What? Who gave you the right to order me around? -- W-Wait, was that the beep?
I wasn't prepared--!! [a whispered hiss:] How do you get this thing to stop-?!
[Beep!
You know the drill! IC Inbox for voice/video/action threads for whatever occasion.]

text; /caring
[ it's so handy to text people, now they can't accuse souji of caring.... maybe ]
text;
[fuck.
At least it's a response so now he can tell that she hasn't died....]
And what's your status?
text;
i'll only answer that question if you do the same.
[ He should be satisfied with the text, but he's seen Lili hurt herself and land on her butt so many times that he's wondering if Lili is bleeding to death atm tbh ]
text;
that said she's
gonna take a solid 10 minutes to answer that as she wars with herself if she wants to tell him but. Lili's always painfully honest.]
Hospital.
text;
[ what's texting compared to literally coughing blood on her ]
I can't say I'm surprised.
[ punk. Lili got hurt, but she didn't die. That's impressive in itself. Souji considers just leaving it at that and moving on, but mmmmmmmm what if robots are around waiting to finish off the job? It would be kind of annoying if Lili ended up dying immediately after telling Souji she wasn't dead. That would make his texting completely pointless. ]
[ He starts warming up to the idea. What if he just popped on over for a spell? An injured Lili could be excellent robot bait....... ]
text;
Lili's just going to bristle and send her next text much, much quicker because she just wants to make sure that he's okay before anything else!!!]
I don't remember asking for your opinion. Your status!
[That said.
If Souji does pop over, he'll find that Lili and Kashuu were just as paranoid about the whole bot problem, hence why there's definitely a table propped right against the door of her hospital room so that it's a pain in the ass to bust in like a crazed murderous robot.
So there's that.]
ACTION;
[ maybe ]
[ Souji somehow finds his way through the hospital hustle and bustle, but since he's carrying a sword and covered in blood and oil, probably doesn't actually get official clearance to visit Lili. So he just threatens an unfortunate nurse with a great big smile on his face, who finally points him to the door. ]
[ Souji looks at the door. And knocks. ]
[ Maybe being polite now will cancel out his punkass behavior towards the totally innocent hospital staff. That's how that works, right ]
ACTION;
Lili's just going to stare warily at the door, already edging closer to the side of her bed like she's about to just jump right out of it and bolt out the window if it's not a friendly face.
... Is Souji a friendly face?]
Announce yourself.
[WHO IS SHE DEALING WITH HERE IF IT'S NOT KASHUU RUNNING IN LIKE A PUNKASS]
ACTION;
At least that tells Souji that Lili hasn't gone to sleep just yet and isn't in too much pain not to demand people to state their names before thinking of entering her hospital room. This also tells Souji that Lili's still alive. So the whole "I might get to kill vengeful robots after all" thing is still up in the air, isn't it? Hooray. ]
You must have gotten off easy if you're still making demands like that.
[ Hey, Lili. ]
ACTION;
Regardless, she does relax a bit, at least no longer contemplating escape through the window (yet, we'll see where this conversation goes). Then there's a soft "oh" followed by-]
Come in.
[A stab wound doesn't take away the princessy habits... but also-]
Don't open the door too quickly.
[because there is... a table on the other side so that it's a little harder to get into the room, amazing]
ACTION;
[ Souji starts to open the door, pausing once he realizes that it’s definitely harder to get this door open than it should be wow, then he pushes until a nice Souji-sized space appears for him to slip through. He looks down at the table, but he doesn’t bother pushing it back across the door. Souji straightens and surveys the room, his gaze resting on Lili. ]
Is that it? Or did you prepare something that's actually lethal?
[ He can’t say he doesn’t approve of the table though. ]
ACTION;
[Listen Souji.... You and your sword think really similarly... but Lili remains certain that anything that she could use to defend herself is more likely to be used against her when she's injured. Rather, she gestures to the
open window]
There was another step to the plan, if it came to it.
ACTION;
So you're too injured to stab a robot to death, but well enough to jump out a window?
[ She's taking jumping out of building lessons from Mutsu, isn't she ]
ACTION;
Still though there's a soft huff.]
I'd rather escape than fight, given my current condition.
[ . . . she thinks she'd be in a lot more trouble with people if she were to actually die]
What do you care anyway?
ACTION;
You're injured. [ 'and I was worried!' someone else other than okita souji would probably say. ] That means someone might come around to finish off the job.
[ He places a hand on his sword, looking content. like a normal person totally wouldn't be. ]
ACTION;
[Well. She says that with a remarkable amount of confidence, sighing tiredly and leaning back against the bed again.
A quirk of her brow.]
I didn't ask for a protector.
ACTION;
I'm not here to protect you. The only thing I'm planning to do tonight is to kill more robots.
[ Souji pauses, just in case a robot wants to jump through the window and headbutt him, then goes on. ]
These past few nights have been pretty tedious without having things to kill. [ you see!! ]
ACTION;
Regardless she's just going to stare.]
So you want to sate your bloodthirst in my room?
[wtf]
ACTION;
You make it sound bad when you put it that way.
[ because it's not like SOUJI made it SOUND SKETCHY or ANYTHING ]
ACTION;
amazing]
Perhaps it's the actions themselves are bad. Why waste your time like this?
ACTION; fuck dana i forgot lili was stabbed souji should have been thirsty five tags ago
Whether it's a waste or not, it's too soon to tell.
[ apparently not, since all he does is lean on the side next to it, arms crossed. Settling in for the Wait. ]
You were attacked by a robot, weren't you? Is it dead?
ACTION; DO I GET A CG THIS WAY I'M LAUGHING HELP
Lili's just going to frown at that. But also sigh and just move to rub her temples...]
If you're staying, sit down. Your shuffling is just annoying.
[As for his question:]
I presume it is by now.
[she was a little too preoccupied with blood loss to notice it jumping out the window but?? hopefully it's not still out there being a menace??]
ACTION; THE FIRST CG OF 10000
Hmm, is that so? [ His disappointment is Clear on his face. ] But there's still a chance, isn't there? You're not exactly the type of person I imagine has a lot of friends, but maybe there are a few robots out there who're still after you.
ACTION; tb cg, thirst cg i'm set
Why are you disappointed??? What the fck. Lili's glaring a little bit, huffing in irritation.]
If all you're looking for is a chance to hunt robots, this isn't the place to do it, idiot.
ACTION; NEXT IS RASETSU CG
We'll find out sooner or later if it is.
[ Souji hopes that it's soon. CHANTS DEATH DEATH DEATH jk he leans back in his chair a little, crossing his arms to give Lili a very blunt once-over. ]
So. How'd you get stabbed?
[ CHANTS STORY TIME ]
ACTION; I HAVE A NEED THAT ONLY RASETSU CG CAN FILL
ACTION; AHHH ur truly the perfect otome protag
ACTION; an otome protag ready for pain
