[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 am. M'lying down n'everything.

[Cue a sneeze, a fit of coughing, and then a groan and something--like his head--hitting a pillow.]

Sleep. You still need a lot more if you ever hope to get better.

Stop worrying about Haku. We've got it covered.

[Tiredly] Have been. Restless dreams. Keep waking up.

[A huff.] She's my sister too ...

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2010-08-14 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
[sigh] I know... I know she is. But there really isn't anything you can do for her right now...

[identity profile] punkass_drgnrdr.livejournal.com 2010-08-14 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
What is being done?

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2010-08-14 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
Greg is with her at the moment. Sabine will probably take over when he needs sleep.

... she still isn't talking.

[Silence for a moment, and then a breath, the rustle of cloth and a draconic yelp.]

Master! What are you doing?!

M--getting up ...

[identity profile] fireybrush.livejournal.com 2010-08-14 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
... 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!

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2010-08-14 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
What did I just say about resting?!

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2010-08-14 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
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?

[identity profile] fireybrush.livejournal.com 2010-08-14 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
We know where they're based, I have the tools. One cannon, and Feedback for when they get close. I can make sure that every one of them suffers, and I SWEAR BY ORMAGODEN HIMSELF-

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2010-08-14 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
LORI!

[identity profile] punkass_drgnrdr.livejournal.com 2010-08-14 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
She spoke to me. Maybe I can--get her talking again ...

[There's a rattling sound, like he's using a bedside table as a crutch, a couple of heavy footsteps, and then a breathed curse and someone hitting the floor.]

... Ow ... [Coughing, and Draca muttering annoyances.]

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2010-08-14 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
... [Nick is very quickly getting tired of people not listening to him]

[flatly]

I'm going to hit you, you dumbass.

[brb going to pick that dumbass off the ground and make him stay in bed. goddamnit.]

[identity profile] fireybrush.livejournal.com 2010-08-14 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
... I can't just let them be. I can't let them be placed before 'Justice'. Creatures like that are a taint on this world, no better than the Coil!

WHY THE HELL DID WE LET THAT CLAN EXIST THIS LONG?!

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2010-08-14 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
This isn't a fucking matter of justice or letting them exist! Shut up, stop and THINK for a goddamn minute!

They went after Onizuka specifically, and there is absolutely no chance in hell that they didn't know before hand just how much connection he has in this world, and they still did it

Scourge is Demon Sealed. Duo saw it himself. They are organized, they are loyal, and they will know some one is coming for retribution! They will be anticipating every move we all make from here on out, and they will cut you down the second you step in their territory and laugh as you bleed to death at their feet!

Do I make myself clear, Lori?

[identity profile] fireybrush.livejournal.com 2010-08-14 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
... You imply I'd be stupid enough to step in their territory. Haven't you heard of the word "Bomb"? Haven't you heard of bring destruction on them such that their pathetic idea of 'territory' is gone, and they never even get to see who did it?!

The fact that they've used a Demon Seal only makes it clearer. Scourge and everyone aligned with him will die. One way or another.

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2010-08-14 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
[...]

...

Fine. Do what you want.

But when they get the drop on you and you wind up dead, I hope you go knowing you're only breaking her heart more.

[ Hi, Lori. Do you feel afraid yet? Well, if you don't, there's a five foot tall alchemist right behind you. ]

Lori Hamilton.

*Lori immediately turns around, glaring directly at Sabine. She's been crying for quite a while, that's clear immediately... But she's also holding her cannon, and has her bass strapped to her back.*

What do you want.

action?

[Mumbled, groaning, utterly inaudible response. And a coughing fit.]

[Nick will find him on the floor of his room, the covers half dragged off the bed. He has managed to roll over, but right then the floor seems as comfortable place as any and he's curled up. Draca's trying to get him a glass of water and straighten the covers and get him up and giving him the evil eye, but she's too small to really do much.]

[identity profile] bondingalchemy.livejournal.com 2010-08-14 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sabine's been crying, too, but to herself. She has to be the strong mother everyone knows her as. Sadness is insignificant. ]

Drop your weapons, first of all.

[identity profile] fireybrush.livejournal.com 2010-08-14 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
No.

I will be riding. And they will be paying. Not a lot. Not tonight.

Their suffering will be as long as ours. Slow, horrifying. As vengeful as the Coil itself.

action!

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2010-08-14 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Nick only pauses long enough to roll his eyes before silently bending down and hauling Lance off the floor, dragging him back to the bed.]

So help me, Lance, I will find rope and tie yer sorry ass down if you try a stunt like that again.

[identity profile] bondingalchemy.livejournal.com 2010-08-14 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
[...]

[ She hates when it comes down to this. But, you've left her no choice, Lori. Her right arm is brought up and she slaps Lori across the cheeks. Her cold automail hand probably feels different when she does this. ]
