ACTION

Is this a fucking joke?! [ Sounds like someone just woke up and they’re not happy to be here. Not far from the Hologram of Weiss (which, by the way, it’s a good thing it can’t be punched because it would have been by now ), a white-haired elven woman shouts seemingly at no one in particular. Her cheeks are red with anger, but her expression is less angry and more panicked.

That probably has to do with the other elf, a man, half crumpled on the ground beside her. She’s got a hold of his hand, but holding him up seems to be a chore given their drastic difference in height. ]

Come on, we can’t just stay here. [ She tugs on his hand, struggles to really accomplish anything and sighs, frustrated. ]

Sunny...I don’t….I don’t feel so good. [He sounds breathless as his body leans over, forehead in the dirt.]

Crow! [ She half stumbles, just barely catching herself on whatever happens to be nearby with her free hand. To be honest, she doesn’t look so great herself - what with the blood caked on her neck and chest and the paleness of her skin. By comparison of Crow, however, she looks amazing.

After a few seconds she reaches out to whomever happens to be passing by. ]

Hey! Don’t just stand there, we need a fucking doctor!


VIDEO

[ Assuming Sun Spear’s charm didn’t get her the help needed, she eventually has to resort to plan B. Plan B being to actually listen to the hologram and learn the basics of this stupid phone they’ve been given.

Somehow, through nothing short of a miracle, she manages to get a video going. The camera is awkwardly angled at first as she tries to keep Crow from vomiting all over her while he has his head in her lap.

A low, pained groan is heard as she pans up to her face. It’s not coming from her. ]

If anyone can hear this: my friend is in dire need of medical attention. [ Again, please ignore any problems she’s having currently. She opens her mouth to say something else, but is immediately interrupted by the other elf. Her ‘friend’. ]

“My Friend”? [The man paused in his groans to give her a crooked smile.] Is that what….we’re going with?

[ She stops, looks down. Then back up, deadpan: ] Nevermind, let him die.


( ooc: expect replies mostly from sun spear, but crow (sireneyes ) will def hop in too. )

[sireneyes]

Haha-- [He winces as he curls in on himself and turns his head away from her. It's then that he realizes they aren't underground anymore.]

Where are we?

[lygophobic]

Genessia, apparently. [ She sounds mad when she says it, mostly because she has never heard of Genessia ever in her life. ] Somewhere far from home, according to the ghostly vision I just saw.

[ There's a long pause. Like really long, before she asks, quietly. ] You're not going to die, are you?

[sireneyes]

A ghost? You saw a ghost? [And he thought he was the delusional one.]

It's not on my 'to do list'. [Another cough followed by a dry heave...He really wishes this was over with.] That thing you were talking too...it's not still on right?

[lygophobic]

Or something. I don't fucking know, okay! [ She's just as confused as he is!!

A glance down at the phone seems to indicate that it's not on anymore, but Sun Spear is far from an expert in such matters. ]

Wouldn't we want it to be on, in case someone contacts us?

[sireneyes]

I just don't want my vomit out for all to see.

[Is he joking? Maybe. He gives her a weak smile.]

Not a grand first impression.

[lygophobic]

Might be shit out of luck there.

[ She rolls her eyes, reaching down after another long pause to gently brush some of his hair back behind his ear. ]

From what I gathered, it doesn't matter anyway. It's not like we have the company name to keep here.

[sireneyes]

Figures.

[Another weak smile and a weaker laugh before he falls silent. His eyes close as he feels her fingers against his hair. He reaches for her hand. He tries to give it a squeeze, but honestly he is lucky he can even hold it right now.]

Are you alright?

[Video]

[leekspins]

[She's going to just...assume 'let him die' is a joke. It sounds like they're close if they can banter like that.]

I'm on my way! Can you tell me what's wrong with him?

[Orihime can heal a lot, but there are some things she's not sure her powers can help. Like motion sickness.]

[lygophobic]

He was poisoned.

[ Or, he unknowingly poisoned himself. but details. ]

Horkweed, a substance deadly to everyone but dwarves. It's been making him weak for days.

[leekspins]

I should be able to fix that!

[She's never undone poison before, but she can't imagine it would be outside the realm of possibility.]

I'm on foot, so I'll be there in about...ten minutes. Fewer if I don't get hit by a car on the way!

[She's joking, right? She's probably joking.]

[lygophobic]

What the fuck is a car?

[ Hi we're from fantasy verse what the hell is happening. ]

[leekspins]

Kind of like big metal boxes on wheels that go really fast. People drive them. You'll see them after you leave the Bay.

[They must be new, she reasons.]

--Oh, there's one!

[The viewpoint swings away from Orihime, jarred by her running steps, but pointed at a hatchback that rolls down the street.]

I'm Orihime, by the way. You did a good job figuring out the communicator!

[lygophobic]

Like a ... wagon? [ She squints when the view changes - her questions still mostly unanswered even after she stares long and hard at the car. She ultimately decides to not ask any further questions about that for now. ]

Sun Spear. And thanks, I guess. I still don't really understand it, but I either learned fast or Crow died on the street without any help.

This gonna be a disaster

[notea]

[However it is they got there, however long they've been waiting, Crow and Sun Spear are finally at the hospital, as foreign as that may seem to them considering the overall technology level. Lucklily enough (or perhaps because people are sometimes fucking racist) they've been assigned to Solas.

First, they're deposited into one of those triage type rooms, and left to their own devices for what might seem like ages. It's got to do with hospitals somehow that makes waiting feel like it takes 5 times longer. Eventually however, Solas walks in through the door and stops, brows raising.

They look like absolute shit.]

Well, I believe I can pass the pleasantries, so what can the two of you tell me about your injuries?

It's gonna be great

[sireneyes]

Oh.

[Crow tenses up as soon as he comes in. He totally hadn't been looking through the supplies or anything. He visible relaxes when he sees Solas. His first thought is: another sylvan? Here? He certainly looks the part.]

I'm fine.

[He feels like a whole new man thanks to Orihime. He turns his attention to Sun Spear.]

We were attacked by vampires. She's lost a lot of blood.

how to make friends ft sun spear and crow

[lygophobic]

[ Sun Spear sits on the edge of the bed, a hand resting over the bite marks on her neck. She feels over the spot, noting the depth of the holes and cursing softly under her breath. In the back of her mind she tries to recall whether or not elves can turn into vampires.

That would be cool, and elves suck, so probably not.

When Solas comes in she looks up, eyes half-lidded. She's paler than usual, and now that the adrenaline of trying to get Crow help has vanished, she just looks tired. Being angry all the time is exhausting, too. ]

You're not a mender, are you?

[notea]

[Sunspear, at least, looks like she's about to pass out. Solas nods at Crow and steps over with the intention of looking at the wound on Sunspear's neck. He doesn't touch her yet, but he is trying to see around her hand at the wound that it's covering.]

Vampires? [it's a skeptical question but at least he's been in Genessia long enough to know those exist.] It's a particularly nasty wound—

I'm not a mender. I am, however a mage. I trust that won't be a problem? [or is it? It is. God.]

[sireneyes]

She prefers not using healing magic.

[Or else he would have tried again. Actually, he isn't sure he would have even if asked. He messed up, he knows that.]

Are you a physician by chance?

[Please. Please.]

[lygophobic]

I take it you are not from Valsheria, as I had assumed initially. Menders are mages who use healing magic, and I have had bad experiences with them in the past.

[ To put it lightly. Sun Spears in a pissy mood but she probably shouldn't be completely annoying the person trying to help her. So she only sounds 30% annoyed right now. She also obliges in letting him see her wound by moving her hand. There's dried blood caked over her neck and chest, and two prominent bite marks along the pulse point. ]

If there's no other choice, then just do it.

[lygophobic]

[lygophobic]

[ They haven't been in Genessia long at all. But in the few hours after their arrival, a lot has happened. Too much, really, to be anything but nerve-wracking after the ordeal they just faced back home as well. It all happens so quick though, that Sun Spear hasn't had the time to really process it — at least, not until her and Crow finally make it to commons to find their new home(s).

Crow says something like "I'm in room xxx and Sun Spear doesn't even look to see where her key goes; opting instead to blindly follow him into his living space and promptly fall onto the bed. The Impaler is dropped to the floor, and for a moment she just stares stupidly at it, as all of the events of the day come rushing in all at once. All the emotions she so carefully hid behind a mask of anger an annoyance.

And they hit hard. Like a wave that makes her nauseous. Phoenix Company is still back home — that hologram said something about things being the same, or something, but she hadn't really processed it until now. — while her and Crow are here, fresh from a fight with vampires and that wasn't even a thing she had been able to process either before all of this. Then there was the fay creatures that Orihime woman had used on Crow, the healing that Solas had done in the hospital, the fucking cars and street lights and Sun Spear is hyperventilating now as she tries to steady herself and fails miserably in doing so. ]

[sireneyes]

[He is quiet as he watches Sun Spear move into his room first. He knew she would follow him, but still it makes his chest flutter as the slightest smile comes to his face. That smile doesn't last as he watches her move to the bed and drops her spear. He just stares for a moment as the door behind him closes. And then he hears her breath quicken and become short and shallow. The butterflies are done and suddenly his chest is tight.]

Hey.

[His voice is quiet as he moves to her. His hand out to gently touch her shoulder before he crawls on the bed next to her. His arms hug her behind and he pulls her closer to his chest.]

It's okay. [he doesn't know that for sure, but it could be worse. He whispers in her ear as his face buries itself into her neck. He can still smell the blood caked on her skin and clothes.]

We're gonna be okay.

[lygophobic]

[ It's an odd sensation, those arms around her now in this moment of weakness. She's used to being alone when she loses her composure — Blood Song knows better than to get in the way unless absolutely necessary, and Beef can't offer much besides worried noises and pats on the back.

At first, she doesn't know what to do. She just stiffens a little, her breath still too fast; catching in her throat. But somehow — and maybe it's the siren in him, or simply the feelings shared between them that have lingered for so long — the whispering in her ear connects more than the touch, and though she's still breathing hard and definitely not where she wants to be... it's something.

She turns her head toward him, nose against his temple. Her hand moves to rest over one of his. ]

How do you know?

[sireneyes]

I don't.

[Not....exactly the pep talk she probably wanted to hear.]

But it's us, Sunny.

[He murmurs lowly as he pressed his lips to her skin. After everything they have been through; the vampires, the dominion, the fucking north. He knows that they can get through this. Besides it's not like they don't already have money, they have their weapons, hell this place even gave them a free place to live. This is easy mode.]

This isn't the hardest thing we've done. [It could be so much worse...Blood Song could be here.]

[lygophobic]

[ She's not good with pep talks anyway - giving or receiving. Though Blue Fang has been pretty good about them; too bad he's not here.

Sun Spear wonders briefly if it's the simplicity that's getting to her. Her life, since she was so so young, has been nothing but strife and hardship and action. She never stops, never relaxes, never just... lives. It's weird and almost unsettling. Eventually, she turns to face him, kicking her boots off as she does so so she can curl herself up onto the bed and into Crow's lap. ]

I'm not good at this.
