009 | Video | Week 18 (backdated to Day 1 to avoid cultist barricade)

[When Equius woke up in his grave, he couldn't quite remember why he was there. He'd died, that much was obvious, but when he tried to remember how, he found his memory hazy. Karkat had asked him to go somewhere. Through the cornfield? But there was no cornfield here. Why would Karkat ask him to go there? Something about Sanji, something about revenge, something about the Project Head perhaps?

The memories were there, but he couldn't remember which were right.

Finally he pulls out his pocket watch, and takes off his sunglasses, because it's dusky and he can't see, and for once it bothers him. He's not sure when it got dark - wasn't it light only a second ago?

When it comes on, he looks tired, and he's still covered in dirt, and dried blue blood, though his wounds are closed now. With his sunglasses off, his solid white, pupil-less eyes are clearly visible.]


Hello. This is Equius Zahhak.

[So far so good. What did he make this video for? Was he looking for someone? He was looking for something, not too long ago, he thinks. A few hours ago? Or maybe days...]

Sorry, I'm... having a hard time focusing. Uh. [He looks around at the grave, and it connects again.] I'm Equius Zahhak. I think I'm in the graveyard. I think I came here to find somebody.

[He's sure he did. He thinks, and the video shows only his face for a solid two minutes. To him only a second passes.]

Sorry. I remember. Karkat told me to look for Nepeta. I think. [Or was that Gamzee. Was it even Karkat who told him to come?

Regardless, he gets out of the grave, forgetting about the video, and walks around with it for a moment, looking for Nepeta's grave. It's not far away, recently dug up and now empty, dirt turned to mud thanks to the rain.

He becomes distressed.]


Wait... where is she? She's gone... Did I...

[He remembers a grave, but that was weeks ago, wasn't it? He shakes his head, remembers the video, and pulls it back up to look at it.

He hasn't noticed the tears rolling down his own face yet, but they're visible. Bright royal blue.]


This is Equius Zahhak. I'm... having a hard time focusing. Can someone help me get back to the dorms?

[He lets it record a few more seconds before turning it off.]

[[OOC: So Equius' death penalty is making it hard for him to keep a grasp of the flow of time, and he also can't remember things in the right order - basically, all his memories are swirling around like liquid. If he answers questions your character didn't ask or repeats things, it's not me misreading your tag, it's just Equius.]]

—Equius?

[ were those— tears? and everything else, it didn't seem quite right— at all, in fact. it doesn't take too long, either way— enma's already shuffling around in his room, taking his device with him as he heads for the door. ]

I can. M'going already— [ the camera gets more his palm than anything else for the brief moment he uses it in favor of opening the door, heading out— he looks down at the camera then, concern pulling at his features. ]

Are you— [ had he hit his head, or-? and are those really how his eyes looked like under those shades? ] You okay?

Think-?

[ picking up the pace, here-! you're really starting to worry him :( ah— equius' blood was blue, right? and while there was some on him, it didn't look exactly fresh— ]

I don't . . . [ he shakes his head a bit. ] Does anything hurt?

[when it comes to his students, chief is there in two. the huge bulking armor helps, but when he approaches he's slow and deliberate. maybe it's the first time that he's been seen in it (ironic, really).]

Equius. I'm here. [lets get you out of here.]

No one gets left behind. [even while the younger man is getting up, chief sort of just picks him up like a little doll and puts him on his feet.]

Turn around. [check for further injuries.]

Tell me exactly what you need.

[in case he does need something. or maybe he should just carry him to see dr. mccoy? he's used to murdering aliens, not patching them up.]

[welp, chief throwing him over his shoulder is something that is sure as fuck happening.]

Stay still. I'll get you back.

You're fine. [meaning: don't complain, it'll only be worse for you. chief moves quickly to try and get him some medical attention. it doesn't matter that he has no idea about alien physiology, but he figures that if he needs to, he can patch him up with duct tape.]

Where's your room?

Equius? [ The concern in her voice is evident, but it looks like she's quickly gathering her things as she holds the device. ]

I'm coming to get you. [ Who cares if they have only meant once, he helped her. That was all the reason she needed to help him, too. Especially in a odd situation like this... and especially seeing him at a graveyard of all places. ]

Not really. [ Not at all, she means. ]

But I can't just leave you there.

[ Concerned Feferi is concerned, and not just because he's the only other troll left here. ]

Equius, what happened? Where did you go after you left?
fintastic: (probably not want!)

[personal profile] fintastic 2014-05-06 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
You don't remember what happened? Not even after the last time we talked? Equius, what's wrong, you don't look so good.
fintastic: (aroo?)

[personal profile] fintastic 2014-05-15 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
No, Gamzee's not here. I think that was a long time ago.
fintastic: (wait huh)

[personal profile] fintastic 2014-05-15 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
The last time I talked to you, you said you had something you had to go do?
fintastic: (told you so)

[personal profile] fintastic 2014-05-15 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Is that what it was? I wish you'd let me come with you. She was my friend too, you know.
fintastic: (and the score iiiiis)

[personal profile] fintastic 2014-05-15 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? What's oh? [ Because if she wasn't concerned before, she definitely is now. ] You can't just say oh!
fintastic: (you can't be searious)

Oh Equius...

[ She looks just so sad. She's so tired of her friends dying, and he's the only other troll she has left. ]

Do you want me to come over?
