For Cid

[This is one of those many times when Accelerator wishes he was back in Academy City. While he's never been to suburban America before, he's guessing he isn't going to find a whole lot in the way of resources to make upgrades to his crutch. Still, Asuka had a good point, he needs to come up with a way to text if his choker's connection gets shut off, so he's looking into this anyways.

His first stop is his assigned house's garage. It seemed pretty standard and it'd be easier to scrounge what he can from there instead of heading all the way out to a hardware store. He figures he'll already need to go to an electronics store afterwards, and he isn't looking forward to that. Work lazier smarter, not harder!

Noises can be heard coming from the garage one mid-afternoon, as Accelerator is making no attempts to hide what he's doing. Once he finds a toolbox he empties it out and starts searching the shelves, tossing random tools into it when he thinks he's found something useful.]

about 48 hours after the night of the curfew break

[Sometimes you're a dumbass fifteen year old who makes dumbass fifteen year old mistakes, and you have to live with the consequences. Literally.

Accelerator wakes up in one piece, in bed, and for several minutes just stares up at the ceiling. His brain is fuzzy, like his choker is malfunctioning, though as time passes it clears up and lets him zero in on his most recent memories. They're of that night and they aren't great, honestly. He remembers that while he was distracting that endless wave of bots and trying to analyse that monster there was a beep from his choker.

After that, essentially all of his memories come from passive observations - the noisy wind as he dropped out of the air, the pain from being fired on by the bots - but it's all muddied by confusion and fear, and at the time, an inability to connect everything into coherent thoughts. It's frustrating and kind of scary, and he's annoyed at himself for feeling that way. He should be used to it by now. Cursing under his breath, he throws an arm over his eyes and proceeds to spend several minutes carefully sorting through his memories, arranging them into something understandable. Clearly, his choker hit its time limit and the support for his brain function was cut off. Then....

He died. He died, and now he isn't dead anymore.

God, it's a good thing Last Order isn't here. If she was, she'd have been throwing a fit the entire time he was out.

(He's so, so glad she isn't here. He couldn't put her through this. Same with Yomikawa and Yoshi --)

He freezes, prominent holes in his memory when he thinks of the two women.]

.........................................

[His breathing starts to speed up and Accelerator curses again, working to get himself under control before he suddenly sits up. All of this sucks and he needs a coffee, so once he's forced himself to calm down he grabs his crutch, throws a change of clothes on, and heads downstairs. Making a beeline for the kitchen he goes straight for the fridge to dig out a can of coffee.]
