Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Nope maybe you thought it was the worst, but probably actually it is really the worst when his head starts screaming.]

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[stakesthesame]

[ oh fuck it brought a pep

tossing the empty bottle back and kneeling back down by him ]

Hurricane--

[ oh shit. oh fuck. oh shit. what do we even do here, I don't have anything even remotely heal-y, what...

LOOKING BACK OVER AT PINK LIKE "WHAT DO WE DO" ]

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[worldlyafflictions]

[THIS IS WHY WE DON'T DO REVIVES WITHOUT HEALS AAAAA I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE LOOKING AT ME??

Uh. pats himself down like maybe anything got left on him but uh, nope.]

--W-what, should I stun him??

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[unbr8kable]

[wow this is terrible, good thing the nightmare fuel tank was getting low]

Can't you--calm him down or something!? Anything, just--do it!

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[crossmyheartandhope]

[This scream sure is ongoing.]

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[stakesthesame]

Do-- anything, yeah, stun him! Just--

[ shuffling closer to nem and hurricane's head and just, gently holding his cheeks, focus focus buddy come on stop screaming for half a second please-- ]

He can do the suit thing right?? Hurricane! Listen-- Suit thing! Zombie suit!

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Nope. Nope. He is worrying about other things rn, please hold.]

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[worldlyafflictions]

[Well he can't stun if she's still touching him, but u know what, Nemisis' suggestion isn't bad. Gonna hit him with Cloud 9, strong as it can go--hopefully that's enough of an endorphin rush to uh... hurt... less? He can't even feel his toes, I'm sure.]

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[unbr8kable]

[His toes ARE kinda way over there... At any rate, Nem is also attempting to keep him still even if she can't really keep him quiet, hopefully drugs will help because despite having all parts currently attached to her body this really is supremely unpleasant]

I know it sounds impossible but you gotta relax! We're here, okay? You--you're not alone.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[stakesthesame]

Come on, man, we're gonna get out of this...

[ mostly she just kind of... says it weakly, a little despairing. ]

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He stops screaming at least? So probably Cloud 9 is doing something, anyway. He tries to take a couple of deep breaths, but with his lungs way over there who knows how effective it is.]

[He closes his eyes for a couple of seconds before he opens them again. Then, voice quiet and raspy and kind of... a little wet sounding:]

...okay. Yeah. O-okay.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[worldlyafflictions]

[this is so fucked up]

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[unbr8kable]

[Understatement. NTS: never trust genies

Squeezes her eyes shut for a beat as well; swallows. Presses her palm to Hurricane's face, ruffles through his hair. Takes another few breaths.]

You--you got your hero form, right? Can you try it?

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[crossmyheartandhope]

Y-yeah. Lemme -

[This is definitely the henshin transformation, though it is a lot less flashy than usual, with him lying here on the ground. When it's done, he's in one piece again, all armored up.]

[...sorry guys, he's just gonna stay down for a second and breathe.]

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[stakesthesame]

[ oh thank fuck

releases a breath she didn't know she was holding and just kinda. sits back, gently squeezing nem's shoulder before looking to pink. ]

... thanks, dude.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[unbr8kable]

[holy hell

So yes, just--slumping where she is, today has been So Much. She'll thank Pink when she feels less like...this, hurgh]

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[worldlyafflictions]

[Shrugs the thanks off casually(?? lordy)]

Nobody asked me.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[stakesthesame]

I know, I'm sorry. We made some... genie mistakes.

But I'm grateful anyway.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[stakesthesame]

[ gently strokes her back, careful of any hidden wounds ]

He's okay, Kitty. We're all gonna be okay.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[unbr8kable]

[gonna wait for him, but still placing her hand on his head]

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[crossmyheartandhope]

[When he thinks he's got it together enough for actual coherent movement, he's going to reach for her hand.]

...genies suck.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[unbr8kable]

[Grabs it, pulls it in, tight. Her voice is a little higher-pitched than usual; her chuckle a little edgy.]

--Understatement of the year, there.

Are you-- How are you?

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[stakesthesame]

[ she'll wait until he's more coherent to mumble softly ]

... no more genies.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[crossmyheartandhope]

[A little slurred:]

You said it.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[stakesthesame]

[ ... leaning over to gently pet his hair. ]

Next time, I make the stupid decision. Better me than you.

[ because honestly if i see nem like this again i don't know what to do. ]
