Of course, but are you okay? Where are you?

Re: Day 249

[vapour]

thanks.

am fine.
the stage.

reading some things.

Re: Day 249

[gottalearntoplayitright]

You don't sound fine. Reading what things? Did you make it out of the stage?

Re: Day 249

[vapour]

[ like kind of a lot longer to type the response this time. ]

Just sloppy typing, this text is really putting me to sleep. I'm reading about electrocution and starvation since it popped up in our performance.

Nah, I stayed behind.

Re: Day 249

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Stayed behind??? Why? Come to Cirrus.

Re: Day 249

[vapour]

[ long silence before a response: ]

Can't. Can't move right now. Can't talk, either. It'll wear off soon. If you're still there I'll come check on you after. Otherwise, I'll swing by Sirens.

Re: Day 249

[gottalearntoplayitright]

I’ll swing by to get you.

[ he just lets it drop, leaving the message on read. it's too much effort to argue or otherwise see if Jewel is not fit himself from whatever he experienced to be coming to get him. by the time he is halfway through typing it, the other might be here already, anyway.

he'll be curled up in a corner of the stage with his head buried in his arms and his phone on ground. it's nice and quiet so he has been trying to rest and keep his mind off the starvation by focusing on the pain, since one is much easier for him to deal with than the other. ]

[Dropping out of a portal elsewhere and starting to look for Sam]

Re: Day 249

[vapour]

[ well that's new, but he doesn't notice it so he won't be able to ask about it later. ]

Re: Day 249

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[Finally spotting him and running over]

Hey.

Re: Day 249

[vapour]

[ takes a moment but he'll glance up and offer a weak smile.

it's not much but it say he's very very grateful that Jewel bothered to come get him even if he would have rather not had to bother him with it. ]

Re: Day 249

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[Crouching down next to him and reaching out to ruffle his hair, looking Sam over]

Re: Day 249

[vapour]

[ winces a little. He looks... okay? But he's practically fully covered (and his clothes are fine, they aren't shredded or covered in blood or anything), even his hands are covered since he's always wearing gloves. Ruffling his hair there, though, there's probably something sticky and unpleasant. Touching his scalp will be really unpleasant and raw, but it doesn't seem like he can actually feel that for some reason, so it's only unpleasant to the person touching it, even if they're wearing gloves themselves.

all his other injuries are covered by his clothes, so other than his scalp the only real visual hints are some of his shirt having dirty damp patches where the burns and fabric have started clinging to them. There is the trace of litchenburg figures peeking out of his neck collar, but those unless you know what they are don't look like injuries, and more like strange fern patterns. Some people might even get tattoos like that.

either way Sam is going to try and get up since he doesn't want to waste Jewel's time. He can technically manage to stand given enough time to do so, although it's clear his nervous system is really fucked up. There's nothing fluid or graceful at all which highlights just how unclumsy his movements usually are for them being such a shit show to see now. ]

Re: Day 249

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Hey, none of that. Sit down.

Re: Day 249

[vapour]

[ ...will stop and sit as told, because even if he wasn't injured, the mental effects have made him too weak to give much capability to push through physically or psychologically as he just doesn't have the energy. ]

Re: Day 249

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Do you want the healing pools or do you know someone with a healing ability?

Re: Day 249

[vapour]

[ he doesn't know anyone who would heal him, and even if he did he wouldn't bother them with this.

he'll reach stiffly to draw letters on Jewel's arm.

P O O L ]

Re: Day 249

[gottalearntoplayitright]

All right then.

[Getting an arm around him and helping Sam up]

Re: Day 249

[vapour]

[ uses him for support a little bit, but he's avoiding most of his weight. ]

Re: Day 249

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Legs hurt? Or just drained?

Re: Day 249

[vapour]

...Burned.

Re: Day 249

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[Hums quietly, leading him away from the stage]

Re: Day 249

[vapour]

[ just goes with him quietly, pretty stiff and clumsy but he's sincerely trying to make this as easy on Jewel as possible so they get to the pools as quickly as possible, too, since Sam feels like he's going to pass out the longer they stand. ]
