[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.

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

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

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

Mm.

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

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2010-08-13 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
How do you deal with an android that's in shock, though?

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2010-08-13 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
... yes.

Whatever you're thinking, don't.

[identity profile] bondingalchemy.livejournal.com 2010-08-13 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
You just... do. It's not easy to explain, really.

[identity profile] armycatblack.livejournal.com 2010-08-13 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry about me. I won't do anything rash.

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2010-08-13 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
You didn't see the way she just... looked past us. Past Greg. Like he wasn't even there.

He's freaking out, you know. He won't show it but I can tell... not being able to do anything for her is hurting him badly.

Lance, too...

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2010-08-13 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I sure as hell hope not. The way that fight went... you'd be walking right in to your own death scene, man.

[identity profile] bondingalchemy.livejournal.com 2010-08-13 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah...

I'll handle this stuff and try to help them through it. It'll be hard, but really, what hasn't been hard these past few days?

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2010-08-13 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
This was supposed to be their day, though...

[identity profile] armycatblack.livejournal.com 2010-08-13 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I won't do anything rash. But they will pay. Trust me.

[identity profile] bondingalchemy.livejournal.com 2010-08-13 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. We'll do something to make it up for them. Something so fucking amazing that they won't know what hit them.

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2010-08-13 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
We're sure as shit not letting them get away with this. Not by a long shot.

[identity profile] armycatblack.livejournal.com 2010-08-13 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I hear that. They are going down. All of them, leader included.

[identity profile] reapingtheroses.livejournal.com 2010-08-13 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Someone sounds quite ill. ]

Lovely. Really.

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2010-08-13 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
If Oni ever wakes up that is...

[identity profile] bondingalchemy.livejournal.com 2010-08-13 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm. Hopefully, he will.

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2010-08-13 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, man...

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

[identity profile] reapingtheroses.livejournal.com 2010-08-13 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Wheeze, cough. ]

Clearly. Those injuries were quite extensive and messy.

[ Sniffles. ]

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2010-08-13 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
They will. But it ain't gonna happen if one person goes rogue vendetta on 'em. We need to actually plan something, and strike when they're not expecting it.

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2010-08-13 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't even think Oni knew he had that problem, to be honest. Haku mentioned he was complaining of nose bleeds a while back but I know he never went to the doctor to get it checked out.

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2010-08-13 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah...

[identity profile] reapingtheroses.livejournal.com 2010-08-13 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Constant nose bleeds, you say?

Has he been through any kind of trauma, other than this?
