01. [Video] [Public] Emergency! (Backdated to March 18th)

[blazeoflife]

[The screen turned on with Junpei looking rather panicked, gripping one side of the screen in an effort to get it to do what he needed to. He certainly wasn't in his room, behind him seeming to be a big open area, like a waiting room--]

G-guys, Minato...!

[Okay, okay, breath, calm down, Junpei. Taking a deep breath to steady himself, Junpei looked back into the camera, an anxious look still on his face.]

You told me about Minato, right? Minako's male version you met before and the one Yuka-tan knows? I-I think he's back again, but...!

[Shaking his head, Junpei continued, trying to focus on getting the words out...]

But when he saw me, he completely passed out cold!  His uniform is completely trashed, and the doctors say he's sufferin' from malnutrition, like he hasn't eaten properly in months... a-and he's got burn scars on his hand, and...

[Okay, he was panicking again- he toook a deep breath, hanging his head before finally looking up at the camera]

Y-you guys should come down and check on him too... and uh, Boss, Yuna, I'm really sorry but I can't leave this guy on his own-- I-I'm gonna take a few days off, alright? I promise I'll make it up to you both! 

If anyone needs me, I'll be in his room till they kick me out, alright?

I-it's complicated... but basically a dude I should know but don't came back to Saeng Seong, but he's really ain't well...

I saw him when I went to check the Welcome Center; and he just saw me and then passed out. I don't wanna leave the guy alone for too long...

[Sighing, Junpei shook his head.]

But, Akihiko-senpai said he can sit when I'm working, so I guess once we compare schedule's it's more about switching shifts than out and out dropping em.

Is he sick or something? That sounds a lot worse than just touch withdrawal...

It's malnutrition plus exhaustion, like, long term stuff. And there's some burn marks on his hand...

[Junpei was completely at a loss. Minato recognized him, so it wasn't before they met... He hoped.]

I can't remember any time I was with Minako that shit got that bad to be starved; so I dunno how'd he be like that, if things were the same for him and 'another' me. I'm totally in the dark on this...

Oh, wow... yeah, don't worry about work. I'll cover for you as long as you need me to.

[blazeoflife]

Thanks, Yuna... I really, really owe you one! It shouldn't be too bad though, promise!

I can handle it, no worries. It's not like I've got much to reschedule anyway. I can practice anytime.

[blazeoflife]

Practice? That magic stuff, or somethin' else?

[drank_the_milk]

That too, but I meant basketball.

[blazeoflife]

Oooh, hey, really? I'm more of a baseball dude myself, but I can play a decent game of basketball! We should play sometime--

[...And then Junpei remembered the situation he was currently in, and his expression deflated a bit. Waaay to goooo genius.]

U-uh... in a few weeks, maybe, y'know?

[drank_the_milk]

I'll take you on anytime!

...But yeah, you should definitely take care of this first.
