taka really fucking hates how used he is getting to this type of bullshit, but as soon as he sees them he starts digging into his pocket to pull out two vials. ]
What happened? I know it was on the second floor, but--
[ he sits down next to sasuke so he can check him over. why the fuck is ray dead. ]
We have healing potions. But they're not going to heal the two of you completely, so both of you drink one now and we can deal with whatever injuries are left.
[even if he knew this was coming, senri woke up crying. he's still rubbing at his face when he comes in and then he pauses.
senri will look between them both - ]
... Ishirin-san, what's the damage for you? Give one to Sasuke, and we'll see if we need to give him both so that he gets completely better. We can come up with a story that Ishirin-san's burns, if they're lesser, are just because he couldn't get into an area with fire again. Or he tried.
[please stop lying for two seconds you piece of shit]
[Sluggish, Sasuke glances up at Taka and Senri as they approach. He squints, too, but other than the blood getting in the way, his eye seems fine.
What's on his face seems to be coming from a gash starting at his forehead and arching down over his eye to his cheek. Getting closer, in the mat of the bloody hair, it's apparent what's drizzling down his neck is from his ears. Hm.
Thankfully (or not??), most of the large amount of blood is coming from his wrapped stomach.]
It may be best for him to have both. I... he's the one who finished Catra. It's better for the one of us with injuries to be the one who is less guilty.
[but he'll let them handle it, because again, his eyes are messed up... he hates it, but.]
...things may be a bit of a mess tomorrow. Entrapta, she...
[ well takaomi is in the process of like, going to force this potion down sasuke's throat, it's fine.
he freezes, turning suddenly towards ishi, his eyes widening. ]
What?
[ well this fucking sucks. he glances back down at sasuke to go back to making him drink this damn potion while simultaneously trying to figure out where all of the blood is exactly coming from. ]
[senri is actually going to go to the bar now to get some water to at least try to wash off some of the blood for sasuke. they uh. really need their little medic.]
[Admittedly, he spills a few drops because when the vial hits his blistered lips, he jerks. His hand clamps down tightly on Taka's forearm, terribly but not purposefully rough, nails digging. It's bitter, and he makes a face.
His ears pop, and he gasps. The healing is quick, but maybe not the most comfortable. A line of a healed scar is sewn from his forehead to his cheek. The old wounds on his shoulder and side are faint lines of healed skin. The one on his stomach matches the one over his eye, and the bruising there beneath the bloody wrap of clothes turns fadingly yellow.]
I... guess... now we're even...
[He twists and sits up, looking over his hands. He frowns, touches his face, smearing the blood.]
I'm not certain why-- perhaps to keep her from talking, or just to prevent us from doing it ourselves. She had poison on her that she forced Entrapta to drink.
[he shakes his head, turning his attention to his own wounds, though he has to lean in very close to get a decent look. the ones on his arms are chemical burns, not ones from flames.]
...I think if nothing else, I may be able to say I ran afoul of traps she must have set.
[i feel like it's reasonable to assume there's some kind of rag or towel at the bar the wipe it down, and senri will be grabbing one of those along with the water as he returns to where the others are]
... Bambi said that having an accomplice means risking someone to out you. [ . . . ] Where did all of this happen anyway? Sasuke said you were going to the second floor....
[and he's just going to pour some of the water on the towel so that he can help wipe some of the blood of sasuke's face because holy fuck]
Entrapta was full... of traps. [He lets his arm come down, but seems distracted.] She had a machine. I asked her to make me a smoke bomb. It was faulty. It exploded when I tried to throw it.
...We were on the second floor. Catra... [His brows furrow. Strangely, he's starting to look maybe a tad wild.] I dropped the sword when the bomb exploded. She... stabbed me, and I...
I had something to let me spit fir--
[He actually yells when the towel comes down on his face. Like a cat, he recoils hard enough to slam back into the bar, arms up to shield then, quickly, his hands covering his face. He quakes, a low, painful whine reverberating in the bottom of his throat.]
--all that is correct. Give him the other one, please; I do not believe one is going to be enough, and my injuries are less severe.
[his brow furrows at that reaction, especially the whine; he might not be able to catch the visual details, but that does not sound like something they should let him go to trial with tomorrow.]
The injuries on my arms are from substances Entrapta had on her person, but the other burns are from her machine's weaponry.
[ he nods, moving forward to grab sasuke's hands again to get them out of the way. taka settles down next to him to try to get him to drink the second potion. ]
... the burns are going to implicate you since everyone is gonna know fire is involved.
[WHY IS EVERYONE JUST IGNORING SASUKE'S INCREDIBLY EXTREME REACTION - senri will look between ishi and taka in confusion, then back to sasuke in concern??? what the fuck???]
What - Is there something on your face?
[or - ]
... is this... the penalty of Connor-san's rule? Not being able to erase...
Mn... [His fingers are tender when they feel his face, even smeared in the blood. Beneath that. The pain is... definitely fire. Taut, scalded skin. Like sunburn, but worse. Hot. He doesn't feel hot to the touch, but he feels hot.] Hh...
[His head lifts, but he puts a hand on Taka's wrist and tries to hold back the other potion.] No... [He's stubborn, alright.]
[he's doing his best to look without getting in the way, but he still just can't quite tell for sure. it looks okay to him, but someone with clear vision could very well see more.]
I'm only accepting it if you two believe he's in a state where we will be able to somehow pass off his injuries.
[and after a brief pause:]
Nito-kun, you mentioned this week that you were seeing if Narukami-kun could provide these, didn't you? I would ask if it might be possible to acquire more, but...
[mmm that sure was a reaction to the coffins.]
I fear it would be too obvious they were meant for someone involved.
This is all he could make. The only reason there's two is because he could either make one that would heal everything completely, or two that would heal half.
[ and then he's looking back at sasuke. he very gently removes sasuke's hand off of his wrist, and settles it down onto his lap. ]
... the decision should be up to the two of you, since you're the ones in danger here.
[ . . . softly, to sasuke:] We have to get the blood off. Please endure it just a little bit - I'm going to do my best so I don't hurt you.
[more than he's already going to be hurt anyway. but he tries again, with less pressure this time, if only just to try to wipe the blood off sasuke's face.]
... what Taka said. He's going to try to make us another thing for trial - I asked for something to uncurse someone, after Wednesday. We could use it. Apparently he's got another item that'll tell us if a god was aware of someone going to kill. [ . . . ] Depending on what you told Merriment, we may or may not want to ask for it. Or I can conveniently forget.
... or maybe he will. That guy makes stupid decisions when he's upset. I'd steer clear, personally. He should be banned from the offering bowl when he gets like that.
[His face bunches when the towel comes down again which also doesn't help, but whatever. He endures the damn towel even if it feels like sandpaper scraping his face away every time Senri wipes.
Once every couple of passes, he has to jerk his head away and let his face rest before turning it carefully back.]
Stop. He was... cursed... Ah! [DON'T TAKE YU ANGER OUT ON HIS FACE.] And... desperate. He thought he could... bargain for... the best outcome.
...two of them were aware, I think. I told Merriment I was considering it, but I don't believe I ever confirmed that with him... Cunning and Indulgence are the ones we made agreements with in exchange.
And I understand leaving the decision to us, but Uchiha-kun seems averse to taking both and I cannot see if he is being unreasonable about it.
[so please help a dad who can't see shit, thanks!
he glances between sasuke and senri there, though.]
Sasuke still has scars - I'd have him drink it. No offense Ishirin-san, but he's the one who looks the most suspicious. That's... well, that's what I think. We'll just have to avoid the subject if Yu-kun asks... or we can just refill the bottles with similar liquid with food coloring.
[senri sure is a bitch]
I don't feel bad about tricking him when he tried to make Bambi feel bad for something she can't even do. [HE'S STILL GENTLE WITH WIPING THE BLOOD OFF SASUKE BUT when he pulls the towel off to get more water, he does spare him a glare.] Yu-kun tried to bargain for something that wasn't even possible. Grant the wishes of everyone, living and dead, when no god has that power. I asked Cheri what the options are, and the thing is that it's not an exact science. But they don't have enough power to grant every wish, and things could go bad if they tried.
So he nearly doomed the world after we leave it, and even though Bambi was trying to be sensible about it, he still made her feel awful for not being able to help. She cried, Ishirin-san. It's part of what's making her feel awful and reject audiences this week.
After that he was thinking of joining Merriment, even though it meant that he would've suffered a curse from Indulgence because he put off getting him a follower for weeks. You know what the last Indulgence curse was? Jude-kun's clumsiness. Can you imagine? If he tried to go with you on patrol while he was cursed?
[HE'S JUST GETTING MORE AND MORE VICIOUS THE MORE THEY LET HIM TALK]
I would've tied him up and gagged him myself at 9:55.
Anyway.
Sasuke, drink the stupid potion or I'll be mad at you until the game's over.
[Sasuke isn't angry because he spent a majority of the time calling Yu stupid during the whole ordeal anyway. But he gets... the intentions. He gets doing something stupid for a good reason and fucking up the execution. God, does he get it.
But he also has his own personal beef with Ambition, and he won't baby her. So Senri just gets an exhausted, disgruntled glare.]
He didn't... know that. I'm not going to baby... Ambition when she's handing out gifts... to people who are stupid enough to kill for her. And that... she made the price of hints... about Ray's killer so steep when the rest of you... got hints from other gods without even--
[MMPH. FINE.
He takes the stupid potion to drink it, hating the bitter taste it leaves on top of the awful residue of kerosene. In the end, it at least does the job. The scratch over his eye is gone, as is the one on his stomach, the bruise... but, unfortunately, so is the one on his shoulder and one on his side from a week or so ago.]
