[Audio] Just A Lil Buggy...

[saisdoesmatter]

*with the whole hitting up Nirvana thing and it NOT being the actual end of the road trip from hell, there were still lots of things to do. While others poured over information and the like, Raph braved the roads when the storms around the area weren't too bad. His bike was strong enough to take it and he had a feeling there was more to discover on the outskirts before they all moved on*

*even if he didn't have much luck, he parked at one point to radio in, since the winds made chattering to the rest of the convoy difficult at times*

Not much luck finding anything worth looking at within the agreed upon scouting range. I'd keep going but I know we're going to leave in the next few days so we'll be going further out anyway.

I'll be doublin' back in a few since I need a break.

I swear the terrain out here is trying to rattle me right outta my she--

*right in the middle of his report back, there's a sickening CRUNCH that cuts him off, following only with a scream of pain as the radio goes quiet for now as he dropped for the time being as another new monster form decided to sneak up on him*



[OOC: I promised I'd get this up before next event but Raphie's got double trouble coming his way. He'll pick up the radio to answer people who audio's back at him after he catches his breath but this boy's getting his scarab wings! :D Which means his shell's cracking to accommodate it. Otherwise you can come find him if you want.]

...What happened?

[That was an unpleasant sound. Was it a transformation? An attack? Either way, it has Akechi's attention.]

Either way, I appreciate the report. It's good to have a rough idea of what to anticipate.

[saisdoesmatter]

*it takes a few minutes before the squelch of the radio starts back up again - mainly since he had to drag himself back to it after dropping*

Akechi? *he asks right back, though it's through gritted teeth* --something's wrong-- I thought somethin' sniped me but there's nothing out here but me...

[undyingcrow]

...Are you perhaps undergoing a transformation?

[That would explain the pained sound of his voice, but Akechi shouldn't assume...]

[saisdoesmatter]

---aw hell, maybe? I haven't had to go through one in awhile--?

[undyingcrow]

They tend to come unexpectedly. Not to mention, some simply manifest themselves as we travel, whether they remain or are merely temporary...

[It's difficult to discern through audio alone, but... hm.]

If you are in pain, I advise remaining close to the Convoy. If you can, find somewhere comfortable. Perhaps hydrate as well.

[saisdoesmatter]

Fuck. I was doin' scoutin' for the team before we leave--

---got some water though with me in the bike packs though so...nh...

[undyingcrow]

Any chance you could get one of your brothers to meet you halfway?

[If not, he could, but this may be better handled by a family member...]

[saisdoesmatter]

P-probably? M'sure one of them's prolly on their way if I know them.

[undyingcrow]

...If they don't make it in time.

[Which is a fairly big if, he imagines...]

I may be able to do something. I'd simply rather not do so if the matter's already in their hands.

[saisdoesmatter]

What--do you mean, Akechi...?

If it's not safe--

[undyingcrow]

I just mean that if the pain becomes unbearable, and they're otherwise preoccupied, I could assist.

I have the advantage of flight and a fast vehicle.

[saisdoesmatter]

*that makes him laugh a little*

I feel like I'm getting ripped apart--must be a new...thing.......

this sucks holy shit ow

[undyingcrow]

Where are you presently?

[Screw it. He has nothing better to do. He might as well be of some use.]

[saisdoesmatter]

*it takes him a moment or two to answer, since the new changes are overwhelming and tiring*

I...I was scouting north of the city. Since we're leavin' soon. Just wanted to cover bases...before we head out again.
