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

[worldlyafflictions]

[Wow I hope Cobalt-san didn't genie himself into a grinder or something then...]

Sure.. I mean we were technically offering the service anyway, for immunity or whatever, but uh... usually ya don't want anybody ta be in pieces before we do our thing...

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Kind of slurred a little:]

...sorry.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[worldlyafflictions]

Sure, don't worry about it.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[unbr8kable]

[sometime later, after at least making sure hurricane's in one piece done losing his head more-or-less okay]

Uh. Thanks for this. Even if it was just 'cause some magic bullshit. It could've been so much worse.

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]

[takes in a shuddery breath--has nothing worth saying, so keeps quiet. most certainly seems to appreciate the effort however]

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

[crossmyheartandhope]

M'okay.

[Waves his free hand a little, vaguely.]

Got a spare, right? Good as new.

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. ]

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[crossmyheartandhope]

...hey, it was an awesome decision, right up till it wasn't.

[Hair pets sadly are probably less effective through the henshin armor, but the gesture is appreciated.]
