Round 1! [Video Post via Lopmon's Rise Bracer. Backdated to mid-afternoon]

[badass_bunny]

[The camera flicks on to show a black colored Lopmon. She smiles at the camera before speaking.]

Hello. I'm Lopmon. I'm looking for a Ikezawa Kazuma. If anyone knows of a person by this name or if Ikezama Kazuma sees this, can you please contact me? I have a friend of yours here, looking for you.

[Poor Kazuma is still sick, so he answers the comm after a round of coughing, and sounds terrible.]

'ats me... who is it? Koiso-san?

[badass-bunny.livejournal.com]

[The Lopmon doesn't seem to care about the cough.]

Well, you tell me. He hasn't really been...OH CRAP! He's gone! He was right here! SHIT! I'll go find him. We're right outside of Neon. Call you back!

[Connection Terminated.]

[kazumaking.livejournal.com]

Ehh? But Koiso-San wouldn't just take off...

[okay, sneaking out to investigate.]

[Lopmon appears on the screen again, looking a bit tired out.]

Okay! I found him. Um...where are you Kazuma? This guy really wants to find you.

[huddled under a blanket on a couch in a lobby. The video shows his face somewhat obscured by the blanket]

In the lobby at the Hyperion.

[The Lopmon nods.]

Alright, we'll be right there.

[kazumaking.livejournal.com]

[yup, just waiting]

[Through the doors walks the Lopmon, who quickly sees the Tamer and instantly walks up to him.]

Found you. Come on in! He's right here!

[It is then the Hyperion door opens and in walks King Kazma himself. He looks around the lobby, taking in his surroundings before his eyes falls upon his Player.]

[seeing the movement and Lopmon, Kazuma stands up to greet whoever the hell it is that's claiming to be his friend (all the while hoping its not some kind of inane trick or prank), but damn near falls over when his gaze lands on who it is.

Were this a prank, the look on his face would have been priceless. Unfortunately, its not, and instead he looks like some one has just broken his brain in to a million tiny pieces.]

[Kazma walks over to Kazuma, and gets down on one knee, looking his Player in the eye. The rabbit looks the human up and down, as if checking to make sure the boy is uninjured.

Lopmon decides to break the silence.]

When I found him, he was...a little confused. He asked if his was an update of whatever this OZ place is. I told him about Yggdrasil and how many others were brought here. Then he asked if his Player was here and once I get a name out of him I called you. And now, here we are.

[Kazuma just... stares back, mouth working but no sound coming out. Lopmon's explanation does seem to shock some sense back in to him, but all that manages to come out is a weak, quiet mutter of 'you're not real' before he launches in to a coughing fit, falling back on the couch rather hard from the force of it.

Kazuma's partner, having finally realized that he escaped the apartment without telling anyone again, comes bolting down the stairs to him.]

Kazumaaaa! You're not supposed to leave, you're still sick! You-- ...

[worried tone suddenly becomes very flat and annoyed]

... didn't know you were gonna be here, sis.

Re: [Video/Action, about half an hour later/Filtered to Kazuma]]

[badass-bunny.livejournal.com]

[A pair of warm furry arms encircle Kazuma as he falls backwards. He looks concerned for his Player as he holds him up. Why is Player out here if he is ill?

Lopmon looks over at the new arrival with a look of annoyance.]

Oh! Did someone finally grow a backbone? How have you been sis? Still hiding under blankets at the sound of thunder?

[Video/Action, about half an hour later/Filtered to Kazuma]]

[kazumaking.livejournal.com]

Still acting like the vainest thing on the planet? Bite me, I'm here to help Kazuma.

[Kazuma's fit finally subsides, though his face is red and his breathing is a little labored from it. He glances at his Lopmon, but only for a second before focusing on the fact that Kazma is holding him.

So much for 'not real'.

He reaches out, shakily touching one of the furry arms holding on to him.

Ohyeah. That's real.]

... how... how're you... here?

Re: [Video/Action, about half an hour later/Filtered to Kazuma]]

[badass-bunny.livejournal.com]

[The black Lopmon huffs first before smirking.]

Glad to see you can stick up for yourself now. Well, I brought your Tamer a friend, if you can't see that.

[Kazma looks at Kazuma with a confused look for a moment before unwrapping a arm from around Kazuma and reaching for his D-Comm. He quickly types out a text message and sends it to his Player, much to the sudden bewildered look from his Partner.]

God Tree Yggdrasil brought me here. That is what Partner said.

[Video/Action, about half an hour later/Filtered to Kazuma]]

[kazumaking.livejournal.com]

Time away from your bullying helped that.

[Kazuma barely registers the vibration of his comm in his sweats pocket, taking it out after shooting the two Lopmon a glare to tell them to shut up.

He reads the message, frowning in confusion. He doesn't understand it, but right then he's not really sure he can wrap his brain around any possible explanations anyway.

He starts coughing again, but its a little less this time. He's regretting coming down there alone, though, as his body is starting to ache something awful again.]

Re: [Video/Action, about half an hour later/Filtered to Kazuma]]

[badass-bunny.livejournal.com]

[Lopmon gets the glare message, but she doesn't stop smirking at her sibling.

Kazma quickly encircles both arms around Kazuma and lifts his Player up bridal style. He texts while holding his Player, not even looking at his D-Comm.]

Where shall I take you Player? You are not well.

[Video/Action, about half an hour later/Filtered to Kazuma]]

[kazumaking.livejournal.com]

[Kazuma lets out a yelp of protest, but not much more than that thanks to the coughing. He knows if he takes his medicine, he'll feel better and maybe be a little more coherent long enough to think about this, but at the same time he's worried bringing a giant rabbit home at random (especially when he wasn't supposed to leave, oops) might not go over so well.

Eventually the coughing wins out, and he manages to rattle off his apartment number, causing Lopmon to look very relieved.]

[badass-bunny.livejournal.com]

[King Kazma nods and simply begins carrying his Player towards the elevator. His Lopmon follows with a smile.]

Sweet! I get to see my sister's pad. Wonder what it looks like.

[Kazma does hold the elevator door open so both Lopmon can get inside. He motions towards the buttons with his head and looks at Kazuma's partner expectedly. He knows that she should know which floor it's on.]

[Video/Action, about half an hour later/Filtered to Kazuma]]

[kazumaking.livejournal.com]

We're just staying with some other people who live here.

[Lopmon hops in to the elevator, bouncing up and hitting the third floor button.]

Watanuki-sama and Nadeko-chan are sick, too. You'll have to be quiet...

Re: [Action]

[badass-bunny.livejournal.com]

[King Kazma nods. Being quiet would not be hard for him. He does flash a look over to his Partner though, who nods and lowers her voice down to a whisper.]

Okay. I can do quiet.

[The elevator reaches the third floor and Kazma is the first to step out. He walks down the hallway until he finds the door with the number Kazuma had told him. He again stands and waits, motioning with his head at the door, signalling his Player's partner to open it.]

[Action]

[kazumaking.livejournal.com]

[Lopmon hops in front of them, pushing the door open after jumping up to get the handle. The apartment is quiet, dim in the late afternoon light.]

... I think Dou-- [cough] D-Doumeki-san is at work still...

He's been working late...

[Lopmon goes in ahead of them again, checking the bedrooms as quietly as she can before coming back]

Watanuki and Nadeko are in their beds.

[Kazuma nods and motions to the couch. He doesn't want to wake either of them up if he can help it.]

Re: [Action]

[badass-bunny.livejournal.com]

[King nods and makes his way into the room, moving over to the couch. His footsteps are light and make almost no noise, despite his large size. He lays Kazuma down on the couch and slowly gets down on his knees, so he is somewhat eye-level with his Player. He starts to press more D-Comm keys, texting his Player once more. His Lopmon follows in, being quiet as well. She stands by the large bunny, staring at him somewhat confused but says nothing.]

Is Player in need of anything?

[Action]

[kazumaking.livejournal.com]

[Kazuma curls up on the couch, pulling the blanket back over himself and covering his head again. He feels like death, and he can barely focus on what's going on. He doesn't want to fall asleep just in case Doumeki comes home, or the other two wake up, but he's not really sure how much longer his tired body is going to be able to stay awake.]

Medicine is in the hall bathroom...

Re: [Action]

[badass-bunny.livejournal.com]

[The rabbit nods and stands up. He moves around the couch and goes into the hallway, looking at the doors to choose from. He hesitates for a moment before choosing one, opening a door into a bedroom. He looks inside for a moment before closing it. He moves down the hallway and opens another door, finding the bathroom. He walks inside and the sounds of shuffling objects and such can be heard. He leaves the bathroom, carrying anything that looks to be medicine. He obviously didn't know which to get...so he got them all. He sets them down in front of Kazuma and waits for his Player to choose.]

[Action]

[kazumaking.livejournal.com]

[Luckily there wasn't too many different ones since they all pretty much had the same thing, but the action does get a slightly raised eyebrow.

Kazuma sits up enough to look at them before taking the one that he was using, measuring out the dosage with a measuring cup Lopmon brought and downing the bitter tasting medication.]

Thank you...
