[Failed Lock to Dr. Muraki]
[Zuko's voice is strained and breathy, and he seems to have trouble forming the words]
If you could, Dr. Muraki... come see me, please. I think...
There might be something--
[He cuts off suddenly, coughing violently, and accidentally turns the video on. Zuko's face, mouth covered by one hand, appears on screen, but as he's still clutching the communicator tightly with the other hand, it shakes as he continues to cough. A full minute passes before he finally quiets down, his body visibly trembling, and as he pulls his hand away from his face, his fingers are covered in blood, which also drips from the corner of his mouth.
He stares at it for a second, golden eyes wide, then suddenly realizes he forgot the communicator on and the last thing seen is his other violently trembling hand covering the screen before he manages to turn it off]

Date: 2009-08-16 09:13 am (UTC)[voice] Yay! \o/
Date: 2009-08-16 09:34 am (UTC)[His voice is shaking, still raspy and strained from the coughing, but what is most striking is that he actually sounds... frightened]
I was c-calling Dr. Muraki... He'll be here s-soon I hope...

Date: 2009-08-16 10:03 am (UTC)Don't worry... I'll be... fine.
[But he sounds like he's trying to convince himself as much as he is Haru]

Date: 2009-08-16 10:17 am (UTC)[Silence and more of that shaky breathing before finally, he turns the communicator off]
[Voice]
Date: 2009-08-16 10:33 am (UTC)[That was her attempt at saying something, but she failed. She doesn't like showing people her weakness, and she feels like she's going to cry, hence her not saying anything else, also she doesn't want him to waste the effort. Feel free to notice her frequency though. :)]
[Voice]
Date: 2009-08-16 10:48 am (UTC)[He heard her and wishes there was something he could do, but it's his fault she's upset and she probably won't believe him if he says he'll be okay, so he remains silent and hopes Muraki's on his way because everything just hurts.]

Date: 2009-08-16 12:12 pm (UTC)[ doctor is here amigo :( um. I told Jacqueline Muraki would be giving him antibiotics... a-and stuff. ;3;; ]
{ voice ; english } - You are up really early whoa! *hasn't gone to bed yet*
Date: 2009-08-16 12:16 pm (UTC)((OOC: Yes, so I hear. Feel free to start a commentlog if you'd like.))
{ voice ; english } ah, I woke up early amigo :3
Date: 2009-08-16 01:15 pm (UTC)Zuko. I would require you to not succumb to sleep at the moment.
[ :D I'll try... if you haven't slept yet 8'D Um. Is he dying today? ;3;; ]
{ voice ; english } - no, he's going into a coma Tues or Wed, and dead Thurs
Date: 2009-08-16 01:19 pm (UTC)W-waiting.
{ voice ; english } - zuko? ZUKO? ZUKOOOOOOOOO-- *mission failed*

Date: 2009-08-16 10:42 pm (UTC)[ The doctor approaches his patient in silence. There is a look that carries some gravity on the silver-haired man's usually calmly smiling face, but whether it is from concern or something else entirely one cannot be too sure.
When he finally reaches Zuko's side, he kneels down and places a hand on the boy's face. Finally, that face scrunches up a little-- Concern. That must be it. ]
I was afraid of this.
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-08-16 11:37 pm (UTC)[Iroh is seated on Zuko's other side, his usual smile utterly absent in light of this very serious event.
His only reaction to Muraki is a very slight furrowing of his eyebrows. An understandable response to confusion, and a very worrying situation.]
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-08-16 11:49 pm (UTC)What's wrong with me?
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-08-17 12:27 am (UTC)[ The doctor proceeds to examine Zuko then, offering no explanation just yet. He requests to see the site from which he extracted the chip from and from there his lips spread into a thin, grave line.
With a small sigh, he finishes the brief examination by rearranging his glasses. He turns to the boy's uncle. ]
We must move him to the hospital, where I can watch over him in-between my other duties.
As I suspected, there was an infection. However... it... does not seem to be minor.
We will also have to give him a stronger dosage of antibiotics to fight this.
Re: [commentlog]
Date: 2009-08-17 12:44 am (UTC)Very well. I will stay with him in case his firebending presents a danger to the building.
[It is an almost needless precaution, he knows. Zuko has become very weak, by this point, almost too weak to produce fire at all, yet - there is still the risk. And Iroh will use any excuse to watch over his nephew.]
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-08-17 12:57 am (UTC)Infection?
[He trusts Muraki, but he really doesn't like the sound of that. Going to the hospital might be a good idea, but...]
I don't want to... hurt anyone there.
[His voice is insistent, though the effect is somewhat ruined by the fact he can barely formulate the words.]
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-08-17 03:42 am (UTC)[ The statement is soft, but cutting. ]
In any case, if anything should happen, we can request for assistance. I am sure there must be someone out there capable of suppressing your powers.
[ He turns to the boy's uncle then. ]
It would be best if we can procure some assistance in moving your nephew to the hospital.
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-08-17 05:34 am (UTC)[Iroh pulls out his communicator.]
Sokka, Umi, if you have a moment, Dr. Muraki and I could use your help moving Zuko to the hospital -
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-08-17 05:57 am (UTC)To the hospital...? You're still at the warehouse then, right? I'll be there soon!
[If it involved Zuko, they probably needed her magic... She grabbed her coat and set off at a jog, looking for Iroh as soon as she neared the warehouse.]
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-08-18 01:48 am (UTC)I'll be there as soon as I can.
[He was worried. Zuko shouldn't be this sick.]
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-08-18 05:07 am (UTC)I should be there soon as well.

Date: 2009-08-16 10:52 pm (UTC)I won't want anybody else gone.[voice] - ...an appropriate icon for this DOES NOT EXIST. ):
Date: 2009-08-16 10:24 pm (UTC)[voice] - s-same here. *sob*
Date: 2009-08-16 10:41 pm (UTC)[He half-chokes on her name, and it takes a few seconds for him to be able to steady his voice and continue in an acceptably convincing tone.]
Hey, don't sound like that. I'll be okay. Doctor's on his way.
[voice] - ...i typed this up as soon as you tagged me, and i forgot to hit "post" this whole time.):
Date: 2009-08-16 11:20 pm (UTC)...what can I do.
[voice] - LOL I've done that before.
Date: 2009-08-16 11:24 pm (UTC)[The tone is meant to be strict, but the effect is rather ruined by the strained and breathy quality of his voice]
My Firebending's not stable. Don't come.
[voice] - I do it... far too often. It's hideous. ):
Date: 2009-08-16 11:38 pm (UTC)...whatever's wrong, you're gonna get better. You hear me?
[voice]
Date: 2009-08-16 11:46 pm (UTC)I'll be home soon.
[Voice :: English] :| STILL DOES NOT HAVE A PROPERLY SHOCKED ICON
Date: 2009-08-17 02:35 am (UTC)[Voice :: English] Aww, I'll imagine it!
Date: 2009-08-17 02:48 am (UTC)How's... your son? Did he come home?
[Voice :: English] It has a mouth like D: this. Or eyes like o_o this.
Date: 2009-08-17 03:04 am (UTC)Naruto's back, and he's fine now. I'm more worried about you... Is your uncle with you?
[Voice :: English] Like this? D8
Date: 2009-08-17 03:11 am (UTC)[coughing, with an odd sort of gurgle to it]
T-that's good.
Yes... he's here.
Re: [Voice :: English] Like this? D8
Date: 2009-08-17 03:28 am (UTC)Zuko... lay on your side. It will help your breathing.
Where are you?
[Voice :: English]
Date: 2009-08-17 03:43 am (UTC)Warehouse... off of L-lander.
