[Hello. How are you doing?

Formalities aside, there is something new in the neighborhood today. Boxes. Crates. So they seem, until you step closer. Maybe you'll hear a Miku-sounding, "Oh, it's you!" as a red laser centers itself at your chest. The moment that dot locates the target (namely, you) the gun begins firing. Don't worry, they're not bullets. Just pieces of metal and whatever else he found during his supply hunt. These makeshift turrets are immobile and their ammo can be easily dodged if you're fast enough. The turrets aren't the strongest pieces of work, either. They're susceptible to gunfire, large impacts, and the Crypton Science Material Emancipation Grid. Sometimes there's only one in an area. Often times there are two or three. (Or more, if you prefer.)

tl;dr - There are box-looking turrets everywhere. Don't get shot and don't fall for the cute, Vocaloid-sounding voices that are calling you. It's a trap.]

((ooc: please, please, please threadhop with each other! KaITO won't be around to chat it up, he'll be busy observing.))

[And they're going to keep shooting as long as he's in their line of sight. Pow pow pow! Take that!]

[RUNNING. smashes some higher aimed projectiles away with trusty lidshield- he's mainly using it to protect his neck/heart/etc so one scratches his leg. If he had been a second slower, it'd be the first experiment all over again. Instead, he just loses a little blood.]

Aaah, too close, dammit!

[is he gonna have to start leaping?!]

[Kaito gets out of range of some of the farther ones, but attracts the attention of more. Pow pow pow!]

You gotta be kidding!

[suddenly one flies at his face and he has to duck. Which slows him down. Just great.]

[Pow pow pow to his legs!]

[god dammit. He can't dodge, so he gets a few shrapnel in odd places in his calf - he let's out a grunt of pain and it staggers him but he refuses to fall this time. He stumbles on ahead, still running although way more clumsily now, looking for the end in sight, or at least something to take out those stupid things with besides the lid. It's a bit too risky to stop and look, you never know where he hid them. Fortunately though he sees a building he could hide in not too far away.

Very fortunate, since running like this REALLY HURTS.]

[They don't follow, just keep shooting. You'd think they'd run out of ammo by now. They'll shoot after him until he takes cover.]

[so by the time he's inside, he's got another shot in his shoulder. He rests, catching his breath for now. He can't pull out the metal bits or he'll bleed...

But at least he can look around this place with his eyes. Seems to be full of regular, non-dangerous cardboard boxes. Gotta be something in one of em' he can use to bind wounds... though the shoulder one will be tricky for him to reach by himself.]

Rough out there, isn't it?

Huh? Yea-

[is that an okama Kaito

Ngh...

okay well that's not important right now]

W-were you shot at too?

[He nodded.] Not something I expected when I woke up today.

Are you okay? I was going to look for something... for this... [meaning the leg and shoulder wounds of course]

I can look for you too.

[Gives him a skeptical look.] You don't need to be that much of a gentleman. You're in worse shape than I am.

I was hit, but it's nothing. [He stands, straightening his dress.] Just a bruise, probably. I'll look through these boxes for you. Sit tight.

[.......sigh, that's probably true]

Alright, thanks.

[He might look high-maintenance, but he's definitely digging through the boxes like a man on a mission and nails be damned. The first one is full of packaging peanuts. Second one has... balloons. He starts to open the third one when he speaks:]

Are they deep?

Umm... [well. The ice pick was deep. These aren't THAT deep.

Maybe.]

...Um, no, they're not.

[Third box sucks, moving onto fourth.] As long as they're treatable, you'll be okay. Probably need to head to a clinic just in case.

Jackpot. [He pulls out a roll of bandages and some cotton pads.] We're in business.

Oh, great!

[he didn't expect to actually find firstaid. Kinda assumed they'd be ruining some bedsheets]

There must not be too many shooters the way you came from, right?

[plotting the escape. And also this is the only reason he can think of for why a guy in a dress got less hurt than him :T He can't be faster right??]

[No need for bedsheet ruining when there's random boxes of whatever lying around. The third one was full of rubber duckies, btw.]

No, not many. [And, hey! Don't underestimate a man in heels, bookworm. He hands the stuff over to Kaito.] I took shortcuts.

[he sees a duck that spilled out. Wtf.]

Shortcuts? You know this area pretty well then...

[he takes the firstaid stuff and gets to work. He certainly learned how to do this the first time. =A=]

[Since Kaito seems to know his stuff, Kamaito is just gonna lean back on a box and watch.]

Alleyways and the little in-betweens of buildings. I had to jump a fence or two, but I think I'll avoid those just for you.

Where are you headed?

Er... it should probably be a clinic, huh? I don't know where to find one that isn't abandoned though, so unless you know, my house works too.
