[Voice/Action] (Backdated to yesterday after Yuber's post)

[Anyone in the grocery store will be treated to a battered, bloodied Emil (la la ongoing thread, oops) stumbling inside and slamming the door shut behind him, leaning back against it in a desperate hope that Yuber will think twice about following him into a building where other people might be taking refuge. When several moments pass and there is no attempt to open the door, Emil slides down it into a sitting position on the floor and takes a few deep breaths. He's clearly in bad shape; multiple wounds are bleeding heavily, and he bears the marks of several fire and lightning spells as well.

At last he stirs and reaches over for his journal, which he dropped on the floor in his haste. His voice is shaky and strained as he says one thing:]

I think... I think I need some help.

What the hell are you doing, messing around with Yuber now? [Jesus H., Emil, are you TRYING to give people heart attacks? And thankfully, he sounds more exasperated than anything else when he says that -- he's just glad you weren't next on the kaboom list.]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Moro said that she'd stop attacking people who went into the forest if someone could capture Yuber for her. I'm sorry... I'm just tired of people getting hurt like this...

[S-sigh ... he can understand the sentiment, but now was definitely not the time. On to more important matters--] ... Never mind that for now. Did someone come to help yet?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

[Blame Yuber for being a dick over the journals and taunting him into it.]

Yeah, I think I'm okay now, just tired.

[Hesitating here. Part of him wants to say "go to the clinic and stay there" while the other part is all "come to house 12 and we'll take care of you", but ... "packed" is an understatement. ... And at the same time, he's got no clue as to where Emil actually is. So--]

Alright. [ ... ] Where are you, anyway?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I'm in the grocery store right now... I guess Yuber didn't want to go inside where there might be other people.

[That's ... not too far from both the clinic and his place considering his backyard has a nice view of the back of the clinic, but all things considered, the clinic is most likely is more protected than his house and has a lot more space, so--.]

I guess not ... Anyway, listen -- rest up a bit where you are, then get yourself over to the clinic. It's a lot safer there.

Okay, but what about the butterflies? I don't think I could fight any of them off while I'm like this.

[Voice]

[trueknight]

You said someone came to help you, right? If they can fight and they didn't leave already, go there with them. [Slight pause, then--] But if they can't take you over, let me know, and I'll do it.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah, Zelos and Sheena are here, and Litchi came to check on me too. I could ask one of them to take me to the clinic once some of the butterflies outside go away. Thanks for offering, though-- I really appreciate it.

[Well, those are two people he knows and one he doesn't, but that doesn't matter much. Yuri shakes his head a little at that.]

Don't mention it. Just be careful out there.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I will, and you be careful too. Those butterflies are still all over the place.
