[Seventeenth Note]: [Locked from Hostiles, filtered to DATS, Hyperion, Family, Friends] [Aug 17th]

[Audio clicks on to a short silence before Nick lets out a drawn out sigh and starts speaking.]

Yesterday, Eikichi Onizuka and Duo Maxwell were attacked by the Bloodclan. According to Duo, Scourge the cat had every intent of murdering Onizuka, and very nearly succeeded. They were rescued by Lance, Dist and Jade, but not before dealing severe damage to both of them.

Both are currently in the hospital, Duo is stable and recovering, but Onizuka is...

[Nick trails off in to an uncertain, worried pause]

Onizuka had an undiagnosed aneurysm. It ruptured during the fight. He went through surgery but is still in critical condition.

He's not awake. The doctors... don't know if he's even going to wake up again.

All of this took place just minutes before him and Haku Yowane were supposed to be wed at the Hyperion. At the moment, it's probably best if people don't try to contact her. She's... well, 'in shock' is probably the best way to describe it. She's been mostly verbally unresponsive since it happened.

I know to a lot of you this is upsetting. I know the Bloodclan has been causing trouble for tamers in Neon and Junk City. Onizuka was trying to stop them, and what happened last night was very obviously revenge. Whatever happens... do not take this as incentive to go after them. We do not need any more casualties after what happened.

When the time comes we'll find a way to deal with them.

Right now... we're facing a very dark point in our short history as a family here. There are now two of our own in uncertain conditions. If anything needs to happen, its supporting one another through this. And hope that some how we'll all come out alright on the other side.

[Another pause, as if he's wanting to say more, but eventually the comm just shuts off]

I'm going to see how Haku is -- you know, stay for her, stuff like that. If it's at all possible, I'd like some time off to handle my family's problems.

Thank you.

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

Don't be surprised if she doesn't respond to you...

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

Mm.

If anyone knows shock, it's me, sad to say.

[Comm clicks on and is silent for a moment.]

Gang struck again huh? Just like terrorists. Fine. The leader's name is Scourge huh?

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

... yes.

Whatever you're thinking, don't.

[armycatblack.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about me. I won't do anything rash.

[reapingtheroses.livejournal.com]

[ Someone sounds quite ill. ]

Lovely. Really.

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

Sorry, man...

For what it's worth you showin' up kept Oni from dyin' right there.

[reapingtheroses.livejournal.com]

[ Wheeze, cough. ]

Clearly. Those injuries were quite extensive and messy.

[ Sniffles. ]

Strikes are thoughts.

[techsavytabby.livejournal.com]

Haku...

...if there's anything...anything at all that I can do...

Once again...no matter my skills with technology, I know nothing to help her with this now.

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

Like I said... everyone's going to need all the support we can get. And Haku may need some company from time to time.

[eatatjoesaura.livejournal.com]

Those poor kids.

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it...

[imma-boi-yarly.livejournal.com]

...c-can we visit sensei?

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

I don't see why not. Just... don't be surprised if he looks really messed up.

[punkass_drgnrdr.livejournal.com]

[Soft and hoarse] She's not still at the hospital?

Master! No speaking! Sleep!

Mrn ... [Sigh.]

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

You're supposed to be resting, Lance.

[fireybrush.livejournal.com]

... They will pay for this.

Every last one of them will pay for this. I don't care if they were involved in that attack or not!

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

Lori... please calm down. We're not just going to let this go, but if you run off attacking them now they're going to be expecting it! You'll wind up just like Onizuka, or worse.

... do you really want to abandon Haku like that?

[readmyback.livejournal.com]

Cowards. And bastards for makin' a girl sad on her weddin' day.

...How many were there?

((OOC: I'm assuming he got added to "Hyperion" sometime after he moved in a week ago? If not let me know.))

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it.

... okay, is no one listening to me today?

((OOC: Yes he has and that's perfectly alright. Nicky wanted to make it known to as many as possible.))

[vanderfleet.livejournal.com]

....

One day, some technology will be invented that'll allow me t'be in two places at once.

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

Until then we're just gonna have to deal with all the shit that falls as we are...

[canhasleekplz.livejournal.com]

Ne, I'm ... going to stay with HakuHaku ...

[ponchotexas.livejournal.com]

I think Greg can use the break... just don't expect her to talk very much. If at all.
