[You are in the apartment! It's like it was before. Woot.] Hello? ::Satoshi looks around for signs of violence:: * Kaede makes his way up to Shika's! Because that's where they were going. He is paying attention to his surroundings, but barely. * Satoshi keeps up. * Kaede keeps walking up the steps as he glances over his shoulder at Satoshi. "You said there was no answer, right?" [Kaede gets as far as the floor, and then finds more crime-scene tape and police officers barring the way. Kenjii Sagara is there!] * Kaede eyes the officers barring the way and scowls slightly. "What happened? What's going on?' (Ah, Kenjii Sagara.) * Satoshi glances at Kenjii, vaguely surprised. * Kaede isn't that surprised really. Guy's like the plague. [The guy turns around, evidently surprised. "You're Sakuragaokan students, aren't you? What are you doing here?"] Because we happen to have a friend in the apartments here. Now again, what's going on? [He turns back around. "Not this one, I hope. Someone was killed here earlier."] (Is it Shika's apartment?) (Or just near it?) ( Yep ) * Kaede looks at the door and then blurts out quickly. "Who?" Oh no. Who? [He frowns. "I shouldn't be telling you this, but it was two boys areound your age. And a third was badly injured.] Two dead? That's horrible. Was one of them quite pale? * Kaede glares at Sagara. "*Shouldn't* be telling us?" He clenches his fist tightly, leaving his palms white. ["I'm sorry, son. But we're still conducting the investigation. We don't have all the facts yet."] * Kaede blows out a breath. "Like I trust the cops to get all the facts. You said two dead, one wounded. All male? [He nods. "That's right."] * Kaede nods slightly and calms slightly. Or at least his palms are slightly less white. "Did anyone see the attacker?" ["We have a suspect in custody."] Name or just a description? ["I'm sorry. But that, I can't give you."] * Satoshi waits until Kaede's hit the brick wall. "Please, I don't care about the investigation, I just want to know if the pale one, Yusuke, is alright or if he's.. dead. I care about the guy. He's used my shower for god's sake, it's not like knowing if he's alive will violate his right to privacy." * Kaede snorts. "I expected as much." He turns around. "Come on, Satoshi. There's nothing worth seeing here." He walks down. (All true. :P) (All true, yes. But it falls under the Leela advice column.) ("Remember what I told you about ending your stories one sentence earlier?") (/me snickers. "I'd forgotten that Leela line." * Kaede leaves the apartment, btw. If Satoshi's staying he can, but Kaede's going outside. [Kenjii glances to the side. "Alright. He's alive, but badly injured. You can see him in the ambulence below, if they haven't left yet."] * Satoshi lets out a breath of relief. "Thank goodness." He then rushes down and repeats to Kaede that Yusuke is at the ambulence. Presumably they then rejoin the main channel. [They don't! 'Cause the elevators aren't working! But part way down, Satoshi detects a field] (And I don't think we are allowed in the main channel just yet. :P) * Satoshi starts running. "Field!" He then bounds down the stairs, leaping down a flight at a time with ease that probably isn't surprising at this point. (yay jump ability) * Kaede curses under his breath. "Hell..." He starts running as fast as he's able, yelling out. "Satoshi, if you can do that, you could *at least* take me with you!" [Hokay! Satoshi gets there! Kaede... not yet.] [But you both start feeling very uncomfortable as you approach. Like you're wearing an extra layer of clothing. Very cold clothing.] * Kaede grits his teeth and stumbles a bit as he's going down. "What the hell is going on...?" He keeps pushing himself forward though, like the tenacious bastard he is. [Kaede gets there! Finally.]
