Who: Lyvus and visitors
Where: Just outside the dorms
When: Day 189, night
What: Downtime and getting chloroformed apparently

[Night is sitting outside of Corvus, making more needles out of bone. He's improved at bone carving, and is working on a fair variety -- mostly small and straight, but a few curved and one or two longer. Just chillin'.]

Ah...waiting for your wish?

[once verified, going to turn back to you. concern!!]

Are you alright? What's wrong?

[glancing suspiciously at the snake]

[nod]

...If nothing else, I'm here, so I can't change things there without it.

Note... made me dizzy. More than dizzy. Couldn't move, couldn't think... he said it was because... ...rulebreaking, probably?

You can tell us what happened later. The main thing is to get you and Dagger back to the dorm. Just rest for the moment.

[going to try waking Dagger up, shaking his shoulders and calling his name]

[spiltbloodlines.insanejournal.com]

...I see.

[he, like his player, seems to be out]

[...rests]

[pauses] Needles would be fine for trade... I don't sew, but the others do. It would mean less work for the others the next time they need a needle.

...And, if you'd rather I not know... that's okay too. Even if it's something that can't be changed, I'd like to try and do what I can.

[...well at least he doesn't have a snake in his clothes. moves back to you, pulling bandages out]

Would you like me to bandage the bite?

[nods]

...In my memories, I have the ability to kill people with my life force. That I can somehow put it inside other people and kill them. But I whittle away my life with it. I remember hearing people say that the cost of the technique is that I'll definitely die. There's only one person who could stop it, if I'd wanted him to, and if he'd learned to use his own ability in time. ...I remember dying of it, too. So I don't know if healing water can fix that. But if it gives me even a little more time... this is the time I have to get my wish.

So it comes back to the same thing as before, really. Nothing more.

Re: [LATER THAN THE REST OF THE POST!!]

[crossboundaries.insanejournal.com]

...Thank you...

[moving over to do just that, trying to do a good job of it while making as little physical contact as possible]

I'm sorry. I know you don't like people seeing your body.

[unicursed.insanejournal.com]

[listens quietly, his expression calm... sad.]

Night...

[spiltbloodlines.insanejournal.com]

[regarding you quietly for a brief moment before speaking, doesn't really buy that the memory didn't change anything. But he doesn't want to push if you don't want to talk.] Alright.

Re: [LATER THAN THE REST OF THE POST!!]

[flushes a little]

...It's okay...

[crossboundaries.insanejournal.com]

...I told you you wouldn't.

Re: [LATER THAN THE REST OF THE POST!!]

[spiltbloodlines.insanejournal.com]

[and finished with the bandaging!]

How do you feel now?

[crossboundaries.insanejournal.com]

I'm just... tired now.

[spiltbloodlines.insanejournal.com]

[repeating what he said before, in a quieter voice.] Alright.

[unicursed.insanejournal.com]

I'm sorry.

[looks down] But it's better to know than not, I think. And this ability... you used it while knowing it would harm you?

Re: [LATER THAN THE REST OF THE POST!!]

[considers]

Dizzy, head hurts. A little less ... not-here.

[crossboundaries.insanejournal.com]

I don't remember how I learned it or why. But yes.

Re: [LATER THAN THE REST OF THE POST!!]

[spiltbloodlines.insanejournal.com]

[nod] Do you think you could walk back to the dorms if you leaned on me? It isn't far, but I don't want to leave either you or Dagger alone.
