THE FIFTH INVESTIGATION

[airlockedmods]

[As usual, the day begins at seven a.m.

Good morning, Champions.]

Comments

[goteachother]

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.]

[myocordial]

[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.]

[goteachother]

[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.]

[everylittlesecret]

[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]

[serrata]

[ 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?

[everylittlesecret]

[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.

[airlockedmods]

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

[everylittlesecret]

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

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

[serrata]

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. ]

[everylittlesecret]

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

[goteachother]

[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!

[everylittlesecret]

[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.]

[goteachother]

[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.]

[everylittlesecret]

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?

[goteachother]

oh! Oh yes. [And oh look she flips the drain on the tub and all of the water and wet fabric floats it's way into the tub, out of the way and safe for walking.

That she can do just fine.]

[airlockedmods]

[Well, she can send the stuff into the tub, but it was already drained. All that was left was some bloody residue around the drain and on the edge of the tub.]

[everylittlesecret]

Thank you!

[Time to carry the muppet to the bed. And get the rest of the supplies she requested from Heart.

Queenie, you're good to go do whatever while Nari takes care of the transfusion set up and having Yuuri help with everything else.

Why not go investigate?]

[goteachother]

[Investigate? No... no you see... Choro is used to sleeping with others. It's why he and Takumi pushed their beds together. She's following you and once he's settled she's cuddling up next to him. Try to move her.

Provoke Mama Bear, I dare you.]

[serrata]

[ And here's Yuuri -- she'd stripped the bed before Nari brought him in and she's got basically every single scrap of blanket in this room bundled up in her arms. ]

H--here... how much do you need?

[everylittlesecret]

Enough that when I'm done warming him up myself that he won't lose too much heat. [Also apparently Queenie is serving as a heater as well.]

Help me strip him so we can get him into something dry.

[Which she'll be nice and not just rip his underwear off. At least there's that.]

[serrata]

I've gotten a few of those blankets from the dumbwaiter... should I go and get them from my room when we're done here?

[ She's moving to help Nari get him undressed, even if she does look fairly queasy at the idea of getting his blood on her hands right now. She'll do it, though! ]

[everylittlesecret]

If you'd like. [Want to see something neat, Yuuri? Nari runs her hands over Choro's skin gently, and like "magic", his skin starts drying. Which the illusion is ruined when she turns and flaps her hands to get the blood and water off of them. This is going to be done a few times till the boy is fairly clean and dry.]

Clothes?

[serrata]

[ Nari your powers are the coolest shit ever.

She starts a bit at that though and starts rooting through the bundle in her arms. ]

R--right, yes!

[ She extracts and flaps Choromatsu's kigurumi at Nari. ]

Will this do?

[myocordial]

[While all of this is going down, at some point, Heart's back with the blood bag Nari requested. The correct type and everything, don't worry, he got it right.

He's just on standby here until Nari tells him to do something.]

[everylittlesecret]

[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.
