[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((Sorry, Youtube.))

Jacob blinked, running after her.

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

((Ohhhh I understand.))

Pyro climbed up to her window, grabbed her bag, and jumped back down, rummaging through it.

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

Jacob stood from the ground, watching her curiously.

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

Pyro finally pulled out a blue mini-Tv sort of thing. It looked high-techie, and definetly out of the market. She held it solemnly, as if it were dearly important to her.

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

Jacob whistled softly, eyes widening. "Woah."

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

Pyro held it tightly to her chest. "These have his last minutes." She said it possessively, almost reluctantly.

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

Jacob rested a light hand on her shoulder. "May I see?" he asked softly.

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

Pyro looked up at him, then down at her thingymajig, then back to him, then back to her thingymajig. "Yeah." But she didn't move.

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

He remained quiet, letting her do it when she was ready.

((TWSS.))

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

((wha?))

Pyro reluctantly held it out to him. "Here...." She muttered.

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((Last part of my sentences...))

He took it from her gently, smiling slightly. "It'll be okay, Pyro."

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

Pyro shrugged. "Just watch the damned thing."

((Ah...))

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

Jacob turned his attention to the screen attentively.

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

An eraser sat, claws and fangs out, in a white padded room (clearly just for observation). He looked similar to Jacob. He was awake, but his head was hung. He looked, for all intensive purposes, like the life had been beaten out of him. His skin was laced with the same coppery veins that Pyro had been seen with the day before.
Suddenly, there was noise, explosions even. An enitre section of the wall opposite him was blown away, just outside of the camera's range. There was a smoky haze, but when that cleared there was a gasp of fear, and then the sound of legs sprinting away on tile.
Ryan's head shot up. "Wait!" He cried desperately, too weak to even push himself away from the wall. "Please." He said almost silently, his head dipping again as he realized that whoever had just been there wasn't going to stop.
Except the sound did stop. In fact, the sprint ended, replaced by the sound of something walking closer.

Here the video paused, as if there was a glitch.

"Sorry." Pyro muttered, taking it back from his hands and pressing some buttons. "I watch it alot..." She handed it back to him.

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

Jacob's eyes widened slowly, and his face paled, but he said nothing. Instead he watched wordlessly as Pyro took the device from him, then watched silently as she handed it back.

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

Pyro appeared, looked at him cautiously. She was paler than white, and still had needle mark coverig her body. She was pulling off the same white jumpsuit that Ryan wore.
Ryan looked back up, relieved. "You came back?"
"call it a momentary lapse of my intellectual skills and common reflexes." At Ryans confused look, she sighed. "It means that I'm doing something incredibly stupid that goes against everything."
Ryan nodded. "Ah. I'm not going to bite."
Pyro blinked, unconvinced. "Your one of them." She said coldly.
"And I also can't stand uP right now. I think your in the clear." He said it like it was a joke.

((pause to rest my itouchong thumbs:p))

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((Lawl, sokay.))

Jacob managed a faint smile at his brother's humor. Ironically enough, Ryan had been the source of many of his favorite jokes.

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

((;D))

Ryan suddenly closed his eyes, going lockjaw. His entire body tensed as he kept back a scream. He then went slack.
Pyro immediately crouched next to him, concerned. "What the he'll have they done to you?" She murmured softly.
Ryan shrugged. "Probably the standard nuclear radiation beta whatever test that they greet everyone with around here."
Pyro blinked. "The standardized beta transport complain starts with a neural..." She reused Ryan had been being sarcastic after Ryan gave her a quiet, bemused look. Then her brows furrowed. "The nuclear radiation beta series one? Is that all?"
Ryan nodded, sensing something in her tone. "Yes, inquisitive ginger." he muttered.
Pyro tensed. "How long have you been in containement center 8973?" At Ryans look, she sighed again. "The cell, dumbass."

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

((*reused= realized. I'll never get used to this keyboard.))

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((hAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAH, SOKAY.))

Jacob's smile faded slightly at the mention of the experiments, but he could see the Pyro from then in the Pyro of today, rather clearly.

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

Ryan blinked. "30 days... Why?"
Pyro shook her head. "No reason. Okay, There may be a legitimate reason behind my..." She trailed off as Ryan started to look confused. "I received it yesterday. Alphas take twice as long for effects to take place on."
"Then, little bird, your days are numbered."
"And you?" Pyro had relaxed against the wall.
"Psh! Me? I could've predicted this years ago. Hey, are you catching a plane? I hear an engine..."
Pyro thought for a moment. "She will die later."
Ryan chuckled. "Goal oriented, are we? Well, since the plane is head." he paused. "east, can you do something for me?"
Pyro narrowed her eyes.
Ryan ruffled her hair, amused at her appalled look. "Go to Chicago."
Pyro blinked, puzzled.
Ryan sighed. "Find my brother."

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((Sorry, watching Merlin.))

Jacob was dead silent, barely even breathing. Find my brother, he repeated to himself.

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

Pyro was silent for a moment. "Is he...." She made a chomping motion, and then made kitty claws.
Ryan eyed her. "It's more of...." He mimicked her chomping motion, and then made a growl and slashing motion. "And allow me to inform you of the wonders of our world. Those are commonly referred to as eraser, and you are a birdkid."
"Why do you get a creative name?"
"We get the overview cool name, but generic names like Ryan, that's me. And then there is Jacob. You guys tend to invent your on names. What's yOur talent?"
Pyro grinned, her hands lighting on fire briefly.
Ryan arched an eyebrow. "well that's handy. Call yourself.... Pyro."
Pyro nodded. "pyro. Has a nice ring to it. What do you want me to say to Jacob?"
"Well, firstly, I'd love it if you called him a huge sortie and then ragged on him about his somewhat partner, Savita. She's a birdie. You'll find him when you find her, and vice versa."

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((Lawl, nice.))

Jacob felt his ears redden in the slightest, remembering how Ryan enjoyed teasing the two incessantly. "Not a softie," he mumbled.

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

((*bows* thankee))

Pyro nodded. "Fine fine. Anything else."
Ryan nodded. "Tell him to get the he'll out of there, or in a year, he'll be this." he gestured to himself. "He's next." here Ryan grabbed pyro by either shoulder, facing her. "Don't let it be him. Please."
Pyro looked stunned. "How do I find them?"
Ryan shrugged. "Get caught." His voice had already started to get weaker than it already was. "You'll survive. I can tell."
He looked up at her, and his eyes were copper. "One more thing. Don't let them break you. You do that, there's nothing they can't do to you. Kay, Pyro? Promise."
Pyro blinked at him. "But-"
She was interrupted by Ryan's lockjaw muscle tense. This time, the pain was too great. He let out a scream of agony, and went limp. "Tell him I love him." he rasped out, before going limp.
Pyro was stunned to immobility for several seconds. "Ryan?" she asked tentatively. When he didn't answer, she gently reached down, closing her eyes. "I promise." she whispered, before standing up and stroking the wall with a flaming hand. They caught fire, and the last thing on the camer was her burning through the glass and grabbing the camera.

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

((first time I said limp, I meant to say relaxed... In a way. Will work out kinks tomorrow when I can edit.))

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((Ugh, sorry, just finished most dramatic Merlin episode ever.))

Jacob stared at the screen in mute shock. His eyes were unnaturally bright with unshed tears, but he couldn't let them fall.

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

((Lolz your fine;) ))

Pyro gently took the camera from his hands, gently inspecting it, and delicately placig it back in her bag, all the while withthe air that it was her most prized possession.

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((I can't believe he's...dead...))

Jacob remained frozen in the same position, almost as if he had shut down.

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

((who?))

Pyro stood up carefully. "Jacob..." She said softly, although her own eyes were watering. Ryan, in the five minutes shed known him, had made her trust erasers and given her hope countless times, even if just through the video.

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((Lancelot!))

Jacob turned to look at her blankly, eyes wide and confused. God, he hadn't realized just how much he missed his brother until that video.

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

((awww poor savi!))

Pyro sighed. "So that's why I came to Chicago, followed Savi around, called you a sortie and started out on your adoration for each other. I sorry. I couldn't bring myself to...." show you the video, she wanted to say, but the words stuck to her throat.

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((HOW IN THE HELL CAN THEY BE THE KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE IF THEY'RE MISSING ONE?!))

"There's no adoration," he muttered instinctively. "It's okay, Pyro. I get it."

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

((There...can't?))

Pyro didn't even have the energy to object. "He was a nice guy. I'm glad I managed to find you before-" before I die.

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((EXACTLY!))

Jacob's eyes hardened. "It's not going to happen soon, Pyro. I won't let it."
And that's another person to look out for...

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

((yeah...))

Pyro Smiled sadly. "Youcant just stop it."

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((And my Internet just shut off, so I'm on my phone, but I'll probs go to sleep, possibly.)) ~ "Yes it is! I've done it before, and I'll do it again," he said with complete certainty.

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

((I'm on my itouch I feel your pain. And me to!))

"Its radiation poisoning. I'm not sure we're thinking about the same thing."

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

"I can help," he said firmly. "I know I can."

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

"pray tell how?" Pyro asked, slinging her backpack over her shoulder and walking back to the area they had been at before.

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((UGH! Damn phone didn't post last night!))

"It's hard to explain, but I know I can. I've done it before--I'm doing it now. I know I can."

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

"When?" She replied. "How? Who?"

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((On phone, might vanish.))

Jacob sighed. "But you have to keep it a secret. She doesn't know. It's Savita. There's some kind of foreign material--wires or metal or something--and it's killing her," he choked out. "I've seen her expiration date. And I changed it. With my power--whatever the hell it really is. I'm still working on it. I-I have to keep doing it, or she'll..." he trailed off.

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

Pyro nodded. "That explains alot." she said finally. "It also proves my theory, but it explains alot. Your a mechie. There were a few back in Arizona, but they died from testing. I thought you were." She paused. "Jacob, its not wires than are killig me. It's not a machine. It's my own system, my own bloodstream. It's malfunctioning. Its rejecting anything foreign. Not always, but in lapses. Sometimes it rejects iron, zinc and such, and tries to force it out of my bloodstream. Other times, I can't eat. Sometimes even my senses don't work. I'm not dying from them anymore. I'm killing myself."

((still on my Itouch))
((Ditto.))

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

Jacob massaged his forehead. "Yes, but it's the iron and zinc. The metals. If I can keep those out of you, you'll have a better chance. Or, at least, it'll delay the inevitable," he said, choosing to ignore her theory.

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

"Don't. Just....don't." She said after a long pause.

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

"I have to, Pyro!" he said desperately. "I won't stand by and watch another person die!"

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

"Your going to." She replied monotonously.

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

"No, I won't, dammit," Jacob snapped, hands clenched into tights fists.

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

"Well your goind to have to. I don't see any way of getting out of it, and I'd rather not prolong my suffering. Ryan didn't really seem to be happy about how long it took him to die. His entire day is on there." She added, gesturing to the video camera in her backpack.
