[Welp, the CAT strikes again! It's dropped to the ground and turned itself on while Natsuo is in the middle of a rather vicious fight with a group of the shuffling undead. Lucky viewers, you get to see one of them cut into gorey, fleshy ribbons by seemingly nothing other than the wind itself, though Natsuo's satisfied little smirk would easily give away that he's the one responsible.
Another one tries, absolutely oblivious to the demise of the pile of former-zombie-goo next to him. It does manage to get a swipe in on the kid, tearing a nice hole right in the middle of his shirt. Natsuo jumps backwards, putting distance between them, and then counters with another spell, muttering the appropriate words under his breath. This zombie's fate? Crushed under invisible weight, smashed as though it were caught in some sort of trash compactor that... isn't really there. With that, the commotion dies, momentarily...
And then he actually spots the little device on the ground.] Ah! It's on! [He bends down to pick it up, just smiling, like this is another day in the neighborhood...]
I got separated. It's okay though, I can fight. [frown] But I wish Youji were here. [He glances up at the five other zombies steadily headed in his direction.] This is stupid. They're not hard to beat, they're just annoying. Hey, does anyone know what kind of zombies they're like? I've seen different ones in different movies. Can these feel pain? That would be more fun.
[He glances back up again.] Mm. ... I need to go. Okay?
[They're getting closer to him... one of them breaks into a rush, and grabs the front of Natsuo's shirt just as the kid cuts off the feed.]
--
[About two minutes pass before the video feed turns back on. Natsuo's standing alone this time. He's got a few scratches here and there, but you know, no big deal. He doesn't seem at all bothered by this. Well, okay, maybe he's a little tired - just a little! and that's all! really! - but that's about it.
... Well, that and the chunk that's missing from his right ear, in a rather bloody fashion. Which he doesn't seem to notice. At all.
He gives the camera his trademark little creepy smile.] They're gone for now. I took care of them. [Firm nod!]
But hey! Where is everyone else? Fighting alone is boring.
((OoC: Why no, Natsuo has no idea he's been bitten, even though part of his ear is gone. >.o And why yes, if you're perceptive, you might notice that that's not just fatigue from fighting... :/ Feel free to point this out to him.))

So while he's still a bit put-off by it all, he's also completely sure that everything will be okay. So have another smile, Meru - this is the smile of a kid who only sort of understands the gravity of this whole situation... but he's confident nonetheless.]
When I come back, Meru, let's fight these monsters off together. Like you said - put them out of their misery. Okay? [His smile changes, as he's honestly excited by the prospect of having someone to fight alongside again, once he comes back.] We'll be a good team!
[A deep breath, and then--] Natsuo's ready.

[Her voice is a little higher-pitched than normal; she hopes he doesn't notice. They just met after all. She twirls gracefully and (what she hopes appears to be) excitedly. She has never killed anything but a monster before. But she made a promise.] Y-you sure?
[Damn, that small stutter in her voice almost betrays her, but she tries to recover - her lips curl into more of a smirk than a smile - it helps hide the shaking.] 'Cause, you know, this would be an awful time for you to start feeling pain! My hammer sure can give quite the beating!
[She laughs, almost genuinely, averting her eyes from her new friend, trying to picture him in her mind as something else entirely.] If that's the case, though, I'm not going to hold back! I'm gonna make it quick so we can get to fighting these things faster, okay?!
[She holds her hammer aggressively towards Natsuo, her eyes focusing on the piles of zombie-goo just beyond him so she doesn't have to look. It's now or never...if she keeps stalling, she'll never pluck up the courage to go through with it. Taking a deep breath, she twirls lithely and lunges forward to make her first strike.] HAMMER SPIN!!

It doesn't wear off. Ever. I won't feel anything. [His smile falters a little... but then he kicks it up into a full-on smirk.] Now come on! Just do it already!
[And when that hammer comes at him, it's all he can do not to reflexively jump out of the way or throw up a barrier. He takes the hit, and then waits for the next. He clearly wasn't kidding about not feeling any pain - he's not showing any signs of having felt the weight of that hammer connecting. But man, he sure is dizzy now!
This'll be fine. He's glad she's the one who came - this will work just right! Sure, he's a little bit scared, but he's not gonna show that. He's just ready to get this over with.]
((OoC: Thanks again for doing this. ♥! SO MANY FEELS! They should definitely meet up again!))

I definitely think that Meru and Natsuo have a good dynamic, and I really do like the idea of them fighting together as a team. Will he wake up tomorrow in his townhome, or the clinic? 'Cause she's probably going to come banging on his door...
