[Giovanni's hand manages to turn on the video function through it's fumbling with the communicator as he reaches out for it. Not what he intended but it will have to do.

He looks like shit and feels worse. There are dark spots on his gloved hand from coughing up blood and his breath is coming in short gasps. He swallows and it takes him a while to actually finish the gesture thanks to cotton mouth. It doesn't look like he's moved in some time now, much less been able to fetch himself water to keep hydrated with.

He tries to sit up to address the communicator but collapses back down and gives up moving anymore altogether.]


...not s'well... [coughcough] not...apartm-- [coughHACKcoughcough] nngh... M' dispiace.

[He reaches out to the communicator, fumbling it a bit, and then getting a grip on it to pan the view. He's huddled up in an some anonymous warehouse near the docks. It was as far as it got on his way back home after chatting with Knowlton. He thought he was stopping to simply rest--he never got back up again.]

N-not... not sure how-- [He coughs some more, this time blood specks the corner of his mouth before he wipes it away with his glove.] long be safe 'ere. But--

[This time he doesn't stop coughing, and instead simply shakes his head and waves his other hand in a 'no, no' fashion before stamping off the device with awkward motions.]

...

[Kadaj. Oh, Kadaj. One day he is going to snap and throttle you. But today is not that day. He is just going to stare at you maddeningly and try not to cough for more than four seconds.]

However, I do have a present for you. It's the least I could do.

...?

[He lifts an eyebrow in silent question. What is this nonsense now.]

[Kadaj smiles and holds the communicator away, before stabbing himself in the chest.]

Maybe I can die before you.

[He closes his eyes, squeezes them shut more like, but not forever. He can't. His odd sense of honor forces him to watch. But it doesn't keep him from showing how sad and disappointed he is at the action.]

[He crumples against the wall, bringing Souba up to his face with a trembling arm with a mumbled apology.] I don't want to see anymore people die, I don't want to watch.

I'm not dead yet, Kadaj... [He coughs but it's brief for once.] And I don't plan on dying at all.

What good will it do you?

[He lowers the blades slightly.] What does it feel like?

Sick... chest hurts... [He tries to take a breath but chokes instead.] It's just a very bad sickness. I'll get better eventually.

I'll come find you. And then you will get better.

[He just got finished telling everyone else no. Oh, dear.]

...I don't want you to get sick, Kadaj.

If I don't do something, I'll die.

Help ...the others. For me.

You wouldn't even do it... for me?

Anyone. Everyone.

[Lengthy pause; his breathing is heavy.]

Don't you like the people at Gohl? [He's almost afraid to ask you this.]

From: [identity profile] adventlead.livejournal.com
Who's the most hurt?

[After pausing, he speaks quietly.]

I have no place in Gohl. I haven't in a while.

I... I don't know. I can't... I can't keep up, Kadaj.

I need someone like you to do that for me.

[He coughs but manages to bite it back fairly quickly.] Help the Inventory people run supplies out to those sick. That's what I would do...

Sorry. I shouldn't have asked.

[A shrug off camera.] I would get in the way.

Not if you just try... [Hi, deadly coughing fit. This doesn't sound like it's going away any time soon.]
