theairlock | THE FIFTH INVESTIGATION

[Queenie was about two steps from the door and she freezes, eyes wide. She wants to hug him but-

oh.... panic.]

What happened?!

Edited 2017-06-23 17:41 (UTC)

[OH THANK GOD SOMEONE IS HERE.]

Choromatsu Matsuno is bleeding and I don't think he has long. Where is everyone right now?

[Because someone has to get people who actually know their shit while someone else tries to do what they can for now.]

Choro!

Cece's room. GO!

[And she is shoving past him into his room (like she's wanted to do for the last 12 damn hours). What kind of Pukwudgie is she if she can't-

She sucks in a desperate breath when she actually sees him though, tears coming to her eyes but she already has her wand out. She drops to her knees in the water, pulls one towel away...]

Morgana's Mercy! [Focus, Goldstein, focus.]

Vul- NO! [It's not her wand, she can't do it. She'll pass out before she has a chance to do something for the other and it might not work How is she going to-

Oh no... oh Merlin no.

But what choice does she have? Functional is better than nothing, even if it's so far from ideal it's not even funny.]

Reparo! [She doesn't need her wand, she doesn't need to say it but she needs to focus and she needs it to work so the incantation at least makes her feel a little more confident in it. And if it works... she'll do the same on the other arm.]

[The arm with the PIP - always the non-dominant arm - was the most visibly bloodied, so perhaps Queenie started there?

Either way, it seems to have slowed the bleeding somewhat. The wound has not closed up, though. The pitfalls of wandless magic.]

[Yes, starting with which ever one is most bloody. And slowing is good. Slowing is a start. She's going to let her magic fold that towel into a small dense square while she removes the towel from the other arm.

A deep steadying breath, trying to push as much of her power into this as possible. And for the second wrist.]

Reparo!

[That done she plucks that neat square of cotton out of the air, presses it to his wrist, and then pins his wrists together with the towel in between. That way she can use what limited strength she has to keep the pressure up from both sides, as well as the press of her magic for as long as she can until someone else gets there.

Until Nari gets there.]

Don't you do it, Choro. Don't you dare. Oso will never forgive you. Takumi will never forgive you. I will never forgive you.

[The bleeding slows on the other arm as well.

There is a blanket draped neatly over Choro's shoulders, as if to keep him warm. He is, after all, soaking wet and in his underwear.]

[Did you hope for a certain redhead to show up?

Because she will. Except Heart didn't warn her about the water so she slips and slides awkwardly, flopping down onto her stomach with a yelp and a groan after.]

Oh fuck... oh shit is he-?

[No. Don't think that. She scrambles as much as she can on the wet floor and winds up next to Queenie. Gently, she takes the wrists, then cools her hands down.]

I'll cool him down a bit till Heart gets here, it'll slow the blood flow. Do you have needle and thread? Something to sew with?

[Letting Nari take up the lead with him but she keeps the magic pressure up.] I can use the tattoo needles from my lace work to make a hole and let the thread follow it?

My lace stuff is all in Kip's room though.

[And there's clearly better suture materials in the first aid room, yeah?]

Unless you can run to the first aid room real fast, then that'll have to do. Though we still need something to sanitize the area... I'm sorry, please, you're gonna have to go get it. If his wrists warm up while I'm gone, the bleeding might be faster... I can keep pressure on him, okay? We need a suture kit, antiseptic, and a first aid kit.

I can do better.

[She's up, running full tilt and avoiding any water slippage because, well, magic. She skids into the foyer, the vast, open space that leads to the upper levels... and then...]

Heart!!

Suture, antiseptic, first aid kit. JUST THROW IT.

[And she will levitate this shit down the hallway towards Nari. No one has time for stairs.]

[Heart stops as he's rushing and just...

Really, Queenie?

Though you know what, at this point? He knows better than to question her. So fine, alright, he'll just throw what she's asking for. BECAUSE WHY NOT I GUESS.]

[See it's perfectly fine because she lets it freefall until about eye-level, catches everything and then goes rushing back down the hallway about two feet behind the supplies. Which means, Nari?

Everything you asked her for floats in before she's in the room with you and hovers nearby for you to snatch things up. Wouldn't do for everything to get wet, after all.]

[Uuuuuuuuuuh o... okay.... that works.]

Open the kit. You'll know the needle and thread when you see it. Thread it. When I let go, start suturing. Just simple interrupted should do, the scissors are in the kit to help with that. I'll get everything else ready. I can warm him up as soon as you're done.

[Ready? GO]

[ IT'S FRIDAY, FRIDAY, WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP FUCKING DYING ON FRIDAY ]

Nari! [ NURSE RII-SAN HAS ARRIVED ] What-- what do you need? What do we need to help him?

[Oh good someone else she can tell what to do! Well then.]

Make sure the water is turned off. He'll need dry clothes and as many blankets as you can get ready in his room. Heart should be bringing blood for transfusion so we'll need something to hang the bag onto. And coffee. Please, when you have a moment, I need coffee.

[As it happens, none of the taps in here are running.]

[........... DID SOMEONE TURN THEM OFF? UHM

This. This is something she'll think about later. Much later.]

I-- coffee, blankets, I-- yes!

[ AND OFF SHE GOES TO DO ALL THAT. ]

Choromatsu-kun-- please, please hang in there!

[ And with that, she hurries off to go get clothes and blankets. TIME TO RAID THE BEDROOM FOR EVERY LAST SCRAP OF FABRIC. ]

[Nari will meet you at Choromatsu's bed!]

[As soon as she starts talking Queenie is doing just that. She only did 2 years in healing magics, unlike most Pukwudgies that did 4, but she knows enough to know she's not supposed to touch anything. It's a different needle than she's used to. With magic sutures you don't need curved needles but it's easy enough to see what it's supposed to do.

And the moment Nari releases his wrists that's what she's doing. Swift and neat and careful. Even almost to the point that they look machine done. One wrist, then the other. While she's concentrating on doing this though everything else that had been levitating drops to the floor, not quite messily but she doesn't have the concentration to spare.

Especially when Rii busts in like that and she almost stabs poor Choro with the needle because:]

Mercy Lewis!! Don't do that!

Edited 2017-06-23 19:00 (UTC)

[That's okay, things are pretty well sealed and the first aid kit is sturdy. She'll still grab it and get out what she needs. Applying some medicine and then wrapping the wrists as they get finished is next. When she's sure he's good to go, she'll hold his wrists so they are above his heart.]

I can't carry him out with all this water in here... [Meaning she's too tense to use her abilities at the moment.]

[She takes a moment, breathing a little unevenly. This is a lot really fast and she's hardly slept all night.]

Just to his bed? [Because if they're going much further they need to get one of her boys. Levitating a whole person is a lot of effort and she's running low, fast.]

I can get him. I just need someone to mop up the water or, you know, move it out of my way.

[To demonstrate, she carefully lifts the wet blanket of a boy, the water no longer touching her feet but... moving away a bit.]

C-Can't keep it away for too long, though. Could you...? While I walk?

[Once she gets the Choro on his bed she'll relieve Heart of his duties with a thank you.]

If you wanna investigate, do so. We've got it here.
