[hamburellakind]

[Jesus Christ, Dave, that is not the kind of thing you should be using in music! John hurries over as soon as the explosion sounds, only vaguely worried but mostly convinced that Dave's had some sort of specimen-preserving-incident.

But that's not the case.

No. Dave's up against a wall, slumped over and-- and he's not moving, not even breathing. John tries CPR, even special windy thing CPR but--

Fuck.

Fuck.

He flips on the video, not even trying to hide how upset and panicked he is.]

Guys, Dave's dead. Dave-- he died. There was a big bang and then-- I came in and--

Oh God, what do I do?! Does he even have a dreamself here or...

What do I do?

[Zuko hears the noise, too, and heads towards it. Courage is in his blood. No way is he running like a chicken away from it. Whatever it was, it sounded like an explosion. He shows up, behind John as he frantically talks to the communicator.]

What happened?!

[So he doesn't know Dave well, besides the whole event thing, but a dead person is a dead person.]

[hamburellakind]

[John's trembling, and he visibly jumps when Zuko speaks. Something makes him instinctively put himself between Dave's body and the older teen, as if there's some sort of threat in Zuko's presence.]

I-- I don't know.

[whatturmoil]

[He looks at the body briefly. Ugh. Someone really messed Dave up.]

..He'll come back. He's not gone forever.

[Zuko knows this from first hand experience. He's already died once.]

Do you know who could've done this?

[epiccombo]

What the hell? He's dead?

[video forever]

[hamburellakind]

[John gives a gasping, broken sort of sob.]

Ye...ah...

[epiccombo]

Damn. Do you, like, need anything?

[Text forever]

[spacetier]

im sorry






i think he will come back soon!

[video forever]

[hamburellakind]

He better.

[John scrubs at his eyes.]

Or I'll kill him again.

[spacetier]

[ This face, forever. Not that he can see. ]

john!!

[Video forever]

[wingofsalvation]

John?

[Oh, Light, that's not good! He hopes one of the people with his new ability got to his friend in time.]

...Do you want me to come over?

I am now realizing that he uses Light as a curse word that is adorable aaaah

[hamburellakind]

I-- I dunno, maybe. Zuko came and he's helping, I g-guess...

I don't know what we can even do, though.

[eatsyourscience]

[oh gdi]

...I'm sorry.

He'll wake up again.

[video forever]

[hamburellakind]

He's got to.

[coolstriderbro]

[Fuck video. Bro's up and on his way the second he hears the broadcast because how the hell did this happen on his watch.]

What happened?

[action forever]

[hamburellakind]

[John startles a little, but relaxes when he realizes it's Bro.]

An explosion. I-- heard a big bang. I don't know. There's a box.

[First of all, Sokka doesn't even know if he should be sending this message. It's too close to time. Is this breaching the rules? It's just, he still feels iffy about all of this. Plus, he did kind of freak out when John told him about Dave, so, maybe he should be nice to him right now. Anyway, he chooses to make the message video for now. Agh, if this is what makes John die in a few minutes--]

Hey, hey, John!

[Think, Sokka. Throw anything you can at him to calm him down! Agh, if only he had Katara's magical hugs!]

Can you hear me? Just... Don't do anything crazy, okay?

[In an event where everyone's killing each other, though, those words probably aren't going to help. Because telling someone to calm down is completely the right way to go!]

What would you do if somebody killed your girlfriend?!

[ unfortunately for terezi, the first stage of vriska's revenge on her was sneaking sopor slime into her snacks. the results aren't pretty. ]

[hamburellakind]

Touch-- what? What are you talking about?

[papshooshing]

WELP.

[hamburellakind]

Wow, that is just super helpful Karkat!

No, it's not, screw you.

[masukukunai]

[Oh shit. Dead kids. Not cool. His hackles rise a bit at the sight.]

How'd that happen? Do you know?

[hamburellakind]

Somebody sent him a bomb in a box.

Late, but... hi? [Video]

[reckless_eagle]

Kurwa... Like, Dave is? What happened?

[Yeah, he's been a bit out of touch, but he likes Dave, and he likes John from what he's seen of him so far (that bit of trolling about geography notwithstanding), and this is not cool.]

Just--He'll come back, ok? I totally promise that much...

hi! :>

[hamburellakind]

[John flushes a little, remembering Poland's whole...making Dave "king" thing.]

A bomb went off. Someone put it here because he's...because of me.
