001: Not to Rock the boat... (Video; un: fenrirfang)

[Mukuro's feed starts up with her sitting in her room, a troubled expression crossing her otherwise dour features. Broadcasting videos as herself like this was still a little nerve-wracking, and she couldn't shake the feeling she was doing something wrong-

But no, that wasn't important right now! She took a glance at the statue of her name-twin just sat on the sofa of their apartment like nothing happened...]

09th March, Year Unknown. 20:31.

I have a situation. When I returned from recon shortly after 20:00, I found that my roommate had been incapacitated. Triage suggests that he has suffered- um- severe magical related conditions?

...He's been turned to stone. I don't- know what to do.

Backup or additional intel would be appreciated.

That's wind, from what I know. So it's not that.

Hmmm.

Let's see...if it's not that, then...

Could you put your hand on his shoulder? Just in the way you would a comrade to support 'em. Or you can poke his cheek or somethin'. Anything works.

[corpsewarblade]

Oh I can try that, hold on.

[Just holding onto his shoulder...then trying to prod at his cheek. Poke. Poke.]

He's cold.

But, um. I don't know if he has been making contact with anyone like that. I probably should have started supporting him sooner...

[violetlies]

Rocks usually aren't...cold.

So that may be what it is. Unfortunately. I knew that we'd get tired if we didn't touch people, but I didn't know we'd turn to stone.

[...he'll refrain from voicing the thought that it's not fair that some people get to be supported by a cute girl easily like that apart from grumbling to himself.]

He may just take time now.

[corpsewarblade]

I didn't know either. I've not really been doing that much, so I need to take that into account.

[She assumed she was fine if she wasn't using her magic, but... it looked like that wasn't the case after all. Thankfully, Kokichi and a couple of others had at least given her a crash-course into the wonders of hand-holding since she'd arrived.]

Is your condition stable?

[violetlies]

They seem to be serious. We really do have to engage with the touch energy.

[Cue the wry half-smirk, not that she can see it.]

If it's not, are you gonna help? We can hold hands again!

[corpsewarblade]

[She can't see his smirk- but perhaps it was even, given he wouldn't be able to see her cheeks going red.]

I can help. Once his condition is stable we can touch base and

um
yes hold hands

[violetlies]

Yaaaay! I won't turn to stone then! My heroine!!!

Once his condition is stable, at least. Neeheeheehee.

[in truth, he probably didn't need it. probably. he got into the space of others enough.

....but who was he to say no, really?]

[corpsewarblade]

[Was he teasing her? She was certainly getting a little embarrassed!]

Of course. But be careful. Making contact with others appears to be a requirement here, so don't wait until you're feeling fatigued before you recharge.

[Way to kill the mood, Mukuro...]
