[Hey, look! It's a Zell! Who... happens to look like total crap. He hasn't even bothered to style his normally spunky hair that he's oh so proud of. Really, he's looking pretty bruised and battered, and you can probably even see some of the bandages that are covering almost the entirety of his torso. Right now, though, he doesn't care how bad he looks, because he's desperate for some freedom.]

Guys...! Can I ask you a favor?

So, I've been locked up in my room for the past few days, alright? My personal guard ain't lettin' me leave 'cause I need to rest. [Cue some exasperated eyerolling.] Anyway, I'm really really really REALLY frickin' bored. I mean, I got a handheld gamin' system in here with me and a TV, but dude. I need to be outside, man. D'you hear me? I'm goin' CRAZY--!

[Whoopsie, he got a little too loud. He clears his throat and stays quiet, staring intently away from the feed, as if he were expecting someone to come barging in. After a moment, he relaxes and looks back at the screen.]

Just... someone come break me outta here, please?!


[And after he's done with that, he decides to give Seifer a private videophone call. He's worried and angry and worried. And angry some more. But he really wants to talk to him, especially considering he'd been bleeding and disoriented and unconscious for the first day or so afterwords. He didn't know-- he couldn't keep track of the days right now. It didn't take away from the fact that he hadn't gotten a chance to really even see Seifer since that little mishap at the coliseum, let alone get to hear an explanation as to what happened. Being in that sort of condition doesn't make for the most coherent of conversations.]

Seifer... We need to talk. It don't have to be right now, but whenever you can... get back to me. I'm--... ah... [He looks down, shaking his head and can be seen rubbing the back of his neck. He'd rather say what he wanted to say when he knew he had Seifer on the other line.] Just call me back, okay?


[With a deep sigh, Zell sits back against his pillow until he thinks he hears the door start to open. He lets out a squawkish sound and flips the communicator off as quickly as he can in the midst of trying to dig under his covers and pretend like he's been sleeping the whole time.]

But if you are told to rest, there is a reason to rest.

No-- but...! I'm feelin' a lot better!

But...you got hurt.

You really must think me a fool if you believe a ruse such as this is going to keep me from figuring out what you're up to, Zell Dincht. If you don't lie still and rest I'm going to sit on you. Do you understand?

[Action] HAVE MERCYYYY!

[duelking.livejournal.com]

B-But... Lili! It's been a few days! I'm doin' okay, I swear!

[Action] :|

[futurefab.livejournal.com]

Fine, are you? I thought you were going crazy.



You can barely sit without wincing. You're not okay, Zell. If you'd let me have Rinoa and Quistis over, perhaps it'd alleviate your boredom.

Zell... Have you tried to sleep at the very least? White magic can only heal you so much, so quickly.

[Video/Private]

[duelking.livejournal.com]

Yeah, man... I slept, like... a whole day or two after the tournament. --It ain't like I'm tryin' to reopen the wounds!

If you have had rest, I don't see what the harm is in being let outside for a few hours, as long as you don't strain yourself. I can have Rosa examine you to ensure you are well enough to take a walk.

Who is keeping you from doing as you please? [ ]

[duelking.livejournal.com]

Ah... my friend, Lilisette. She's kinda takin' it upon herself to make sure I don't get myself hurt or somethin'.

--Sorry, Your Majesty. I'm kinda off to a lousy start, huh?

You were splendid. It should be your choice what you do. You have earned that right... but you realize you must take the time to heal, even if it is difficult to endure.

[He'd been keeping himself from trying to contact Zell, not only because of the ire he'd likely face from Zell's friends, but because his failure to protect him had backfired so horribly. So when he received the message, it was understandable that some time passed before Seifer's call came in.

His eyes are red and slightly puffy, and his default smirk is long gone. His voice is soft, unsure.]

Zell, I...

[video/private]

[duelking.livejournal.com]

Just... tell me what happened.

[blitz-acing.livejournal.com]

Zell! You look like crap.

Which room are you in?

[duelking.livejournal.com]

Gee, thanks.

[duelking.livejournal.com]

Room 217!

--You actually gettin' me outta here?

[voice]

[abracadabrapon.livejournal.com]

I shall send you the homework you'll need to do. I assume you'll be out for some time?

[....Not quite video games...]

[voice]

[duelking.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Instructor. I appreciate it. ...I dunno. Maybe? Hope not.

[ Yeah that filter? It sucks.]

...Zell.

H-Hi Rinoa! How was the party?

[Considering he had gotten to the place where Zell had gotten hurt in time to see the aftermath of things, he knew the blond had been seriously injured. But sometimes with some injuries, enforced bed-rest for the entire healing wasn't really advisable if you wanted to keep certain muscles in shape. So the ole Doc will see what he can do to help you out.]

Where are you at, young one? I can try to lend what aid that I'm able to.

[He's wondering how Zell is still alive.]

You don't look like you're ready to go outside yet. You need the rest.

I could try to distract you from boredom, though I'm not sure how entertaining I could be. What's a TV, anyway?

But I've been sleepin' the last few days...! This is torture!

It's... like. A big box that tell you a story but it's like you're seein' and hearin' it happen instead of readin' about it. I can show you if you decide to visit.
