[ I have no idea what Kano is doing on Tuesday but anything involving being outside and not face down on the ground is exhausting, and he's making it up by being flat on the ground upstairs in the leader summoning room just sort of lying in a pool of blood and occasionally dipping his finger into the blood and drawing on a piece of paper. This was the very first thing he ever drew Goat, imagine this but a dozen times and also in blood. ]

[heartablaze]

[Kano that is so gross... She's got a tired smile on her face as she throws the blanket onto the desk for a moment, carefully plopping down on her knees despite how much blood is here. It still turns her stomach, but... he isn't dying right this second. She has to focus on that.]

Hey, Shuuya. Swan-san found us some bandages.

Do you want me to see if we can get your head to stay still a little more?

[suddenlybees]

[ It's never ending finger paint, and he doesn't have to worry about his head falling off if he's lying on the ground. Though he has to admit that it feels gross with his ear all wet, that somehow bothers him more than the fact that he's stuck in this eternal state of dying.

Rolling over onto his back to free up his hands, he pinches his fingers together and touches them, pointer and thumb to pointer and thumb, and then draws them apart. With one hand, he draws waves in the air, across his line of sight. ]

[heartablaze]

[Okay, well, she got the first part. She takes out the bandages, unfastening them and unravelling a long strip.]

Like... in a loop-de-loop? I didn't get that second part.

[suddenlybees]

[ She did not in fact get the first part. But that's Kano's fault for not staying on topic, grinning as he hears Hikaru's guess and the silent laugher just makes the blood gush out of his neck. His murderer really didn't want him talking or laughing, or doing anything that makes him him.

Hmmmmmmmmm

He reaches for a clean piece of paper that doesn't stay clean for long because his hands are bloody, and tears it in half straight down the middle. Then he places the two halves side by side and traces that wave across the tear with his finger so that the ups and downs span both sides. ]

[heartablaze]

S-Shuuya, no, that's so gross--

[EUGH. Fine, she'll carefully put up the bandages.]

If you're not talking about your neck...

Waves, right? Something about the beach? But... why on two pieces?

[suddenlybees]

[ Well.

Well, he can do it like this. He picks up the two pieces of paper and holds them up against his neck, where they stick because they immediately soak through with blood. He draws the wavy line across the two halves again. ]

[heartablaze]

[uhhhh hm

Her face says she's still lost but she's gonna take a shot in the dark.]

You... don't wanna sew it together, do you? That's going to really hurt.

[suddenlybees]

[ Kano grins at the guess, because sometimes a shot in the dark hits right on target. Never be afraid to voice a guess.

It'll probably hurt and he might cry, but... he shrugs. Him and pain. He'll be okay. ]

[heartablaze]

[oh.



oh.....]

That's... we'd need supplies from Swan somehow, a-and I've never...

[aaaa]

...Nobody here is a doctor, Shuuya, I... are you sure?

[suddenlybees]

[ He nods his head, because what's the worst that can happen? He dies again? If they screw up, they can just pull the thread out and try again.

But also, he points at Hikaru, and tilts his head in a way that might make more sense if he were sitting up instead of lying on the ground. ]

[heartablaze]

[how the fuck is she gonna get sutures when they are dead u asshole]

...I didn't really get that. Uh... um...

Hey, are you able to sit up? I can help you lean against the desk if you want. It might be easier to talk that way.

[suddenlybees]

[ Same way they got bandaids: by bleeding on Swan.

Getting up from the ground is a trial even on a good day, but Kano can manage to do so on his own, rolling over onto his stomach first before pushing off the ground. That really is a lot of blood. He apologizes silently to Sharon who he knows goes around cleaning this place up. ]

[heartablaze]

[She is legitimately expecting his head to go flying the second he straightens up so don't mind if she hovers for a minute.

She's changed her tanktop from the morning to a grey one that has IM A BIG DEAL $$$ in obnoxious red text but the whole left half's pretty soaked in the blood from her shoulder by this point. Ew.]

[suddenlybees]

[ More of a reason to sew him up! He's a little wary about the hovering, only because Cater's first instinct in seeing him like this was also to hand hover and he didn't know what to do with that, whether they expected to have to catch his head when it falls off or something. We're all doing great.

Once he's sat up, Kano regards Hikaru for a moment, then draws the waves in the air again. He points at her shoulder. ]

[heartablaze]

[Oh. Her shoulder?

She just waves her hands in front of her a moment.]

No, it's okay. It... it hurts, but I don't think it needs to be sewn up.

[It's a gaping wound, Hikaru.]

[suddenlybees]

[ It's a gaping wound, Hikaru

To prove his point, Kano reaches out and pokes her shoulder. Which is a terrible idea considering weekly effects because that means they will now both be in excruciating pain for ten whole seconds. ]

[heartablaze]

[Yeah you ever had a sword twice your height slammed directly into your shoulder with enough force to crack armor and make you bleed buckets IMMEDIATELY...?

Well now you have.

She buckles over immediately with a scream, gripping at her arm.]

[suddenlybees]

[ If he's ever died this way, he doesn't remember! A blessing that is, too, because it's something he never wants to feel, drawing back away from Hikaru immediately and sitting down hard enough to make everything hurt, though it's overwhelmingly his shoulder that's on fire, white hot and feeling like his entire body is disintegrating with the way his nerves fire and splutter and spread.

And then the pain becomes ice cold, numbness and drowning— it's the feeling of dying, and it feels just the same as it did ten years ago, as he curls in on himself and squeezes his eyes shut and stares hard at the darkness behind his eyelids. ]

[heartablaze]

[It's not unfamiliar, entirely. She remembers this, remembers the shock of it like it was yesterday, and the pain still nearly knocks her flat. Ten seconds seems like an eternity.

She's panting for breath by the time the pain subsides, tears in her eyes as she shakily crawls back over to him, dropping her forehead on his shoulder as adrenaline makes her body run cold.]

Don't... d-don't do that a-again... please...

[suddenlybees]

[ HIKARU WAS OBVIOUSLY IN EXCRUCIATING PAIN FROM A SMALL LITTLE SHOULDER POKE WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD SHE COME OVER TO KANO WHERE HE COULD SO EASILY BUMP HER SHOULDER ON ACCIDENT AGAIN WHY IS THIS!!!!! ]

[heartablaze]

[because she trusts him wow

we are going to sit like this in pain for a bit]

...

A-are you okay?

[suddenlybees]

[ why is she so stupid

Kano can't move for fear of bumping that shoulder again, and he barely nods because what if that slight motion sets it off too? He can't shove her away?? What if a poorly timed charades accidentally brushes her shoulder.

We are statues for the rest of this thread. ]

[heartablaze]

[She doesn't even feel the nod for how miniscule it is, giving it a minute before leaning up to look at him with concern.]

Shuuya...?

[suddenlybees]

[ He can't really answer her in a way that's not wild grand gestures other than the one way: he motions for her to give him her hand.

There is paper scattered on the floor all around them, but, no. ]
