This room is not real.

That's the first thought that crosses your mind as soon as your consciousness comes back up. You're not even sure if that's your own thought, but the feeling doesn't leave no matter how much time has passed. The room looks nice and cozy, but everything feels wrong. You don't belong here, you're you, aren't you?

Aren't you?

You'll soon notice that there are other things that just isn't right. You can talk, but is your mouth moving? You can see, but are your eyes blinking? You also have ball joints. Nothing hurts, and you're fine, but it's a little weird.

[COUGHS UP SOME WATER. And then just... keeps coughing for a bit. Whew.

This would be the place for a sarcastic comment like GREAT HE LOVES PLAYING THE DROWNING GAME but he's also lost all ability to comprehend jokes, because he needs to have an even harder time understanding what people are saying, right.]

[featherbeaned]

[ ... PATS?? HIM ON THE BACK???? ]

[fromthedepthsof]

[Thanks pal. He'll give a thumbs up in place of an I'M FINE DW, since he doesn't want to aggravate his throat into MORE coughing.]

[featherbeaned]

[ pat pat ... but she pulls her hand away at the thumbs up ]

Right. 'Kay. Cool. So, hm, now we gotta decide what we're doing next.

[ Rubs her eyes, almost irritably ]

[fromthedepthsof]

[Looks at her like, what do YOU wanna do]

[featherbeaned]

... Well. I'm wondering if we should take two different things this time.

[fromthedepthsof]

[Nod nod. No problems with that over here.]

[featherbeaned]

Starting with what they stole from you [ gestures to him and K ] ... and then we can protect that thing, too.

[fromthedepthsof]

[Thumbs up. No more suffocation for witches, this is making it hard to play.]

[featherbeaned]

Two actions left after that.

We could ... I dunno, hm, we could take the sense of "taste"?

[fromthedepthsof]

[Good as anything else? The other guys will still have a bad time after if they don't win, but... eh. Oh well.

This is condensed down into "nod nod" again because he's going to go cough up more water now.]

[featherbeaned]

[ HANG IN THERE, N ]

N? Are you okay?

Re: DISCUSSION

[fromthedepthsof]

[Thumbs up. Cough.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[irregular]

Good. Great.

[Gotta keep this brief: it's kinda hard to breathe here, too.]

We. Gotta figure out this.

Gotta steal it back. Or - we're fucked.

Re: DISCUSSION

[fromthedepthsof]

[Nod nod. That's cool with him.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[irregular]

Can't - be lungs. Right?

[That'd be messier.]

So... what?

Re: DISCUSSION

[fromthedepthsof]

[Clears his throat, couple of deep controlled breaths.]

Br, eathing?

[Even if that's not exactly what was taken, it'll sure get it back.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[irregular]

Gotta be.

Who... what unit-- don't wanna. Wanna hit the wrong one.

[He coughs.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[fromthedepthsof]

"Baritones".

[Obviously he doesn't actually wanna hit anyone with that but like, they gotta hit someone! Might as well be the unit with 1 guy he was feeling like "giving a bath" to recently, if they gotta pick.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[irregular]

Almost... gotta be--

[He rubs at his throat. Fuck.]

Yeah. Hit 'em.

Re: DISCUSSION

[fromthedepthsof]

[Nod nod. Cough. He has no idea if baritones hit them or not, this is an entirely personal pick in the interest of just hurrying up and picking. But he doesn't have the breath to expand right now.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[irregular]

Yeah.

Unless-- maybe sensitIV? Figuring. They're - being kind.

Re: DISCUSSION

[fromthedepthsof]

[SHRUG]

Re: DISCUSSION

[irregular]

Fuck.

Baritones then.
