[7:11 PM] ColdToiletSeat: When the last of the enemy had fallen, Kalenzo had felt a rush of several feelings, one of which being the burden of battle being lifted from his shoulders. He could finally relax and enjoy what was to come afterwards, oh if only he knew. The signs were not apparent, but the symptoms were slowly making their appearances.
[7:12 PM] ColdToiletSeat: Kalenzo's skin felt clammy, his mouth starting to salivate and he began to get wobbly in his knees.
[7:16 PM] ColdToiletSeat: It was as if some divine intervention had been enacted upon him suddenly, his skin felt soft, too soft, and it was as if his flesh was violently returning back to it's original state before he had drank the tonic. The artist was quick to run out of the throne room and towards the exit, only to stop part of the way because he had felt his stomach start to churn within him. He placed a hand against the wall of the hall and the other over his mouth.
Gods above, what was in that thing? He thought, starting to heave. And to think, it was just like that, I felt invincible one moment, the next I'm like this...(edited)
[7:18 PM] ColdToiletSeat: I mustn't puke, I mustn't puke... Kalenzo almost seemed to chant to himself, secretly yearning for the sweet release of vomiting.
[7:35 PM] ColdToiletSeat: No no no no no, this can't be happening, please dear Gods above, grant me respite from this hell! He prayed silently, starting to lean forward with a precautionary hand over his mouth
[7:49 PM] Kwakado: As he departed from the throne room, Sula scanned the halls worriedly while keeping a tight hold of Shimi's reins. His face shone with relief at Leodin's survival, as well as his victory...but then it noticed a familiar face looking quite ill.
"Kalen-za Nanyo!" Sula urged Shimi to hurry toward him. With all the poison in the air, the poor young man might not have long to live... Sula dismounted from midair, landing barefoot next to the Khlinese thespian.
"What happened?!"(edited)
[9:31 PM] ColdToiletSeat: "...Tonic, what in the hell was in that toni- Aughauggh..." He managed to say between heaves, looking up towards the Dwabi man with intense sorrow and regret in his eyes. Kalenzo's knees bent once more and he bent over, staring at the ground, it almost felt as if he were poisoned, but his situation was not quite as deadly.(edited)
[9:41 PM] ColdToiletSeat: The man placed a hand over his gut this time, starting to feel what had felt like the inevitable oncoming of bile start to build up and get larger with each and every heave. This had all lead up to the penultimate heave, a small bit of intestinal fluids making a mess on the floor before he stood upright, woozily wobbling a little bit before bottoming-out the contents of his stomach.(edited)
[9:43 PM] Kwakado: "SAUSHATU!!" Sula waved his arms at the departing solders. "He needs a medicine-man!"
[9:45 PM] ColdToiletSeat: Kalenzo bent over, placing his hands on his knees as he retched what seemed to be his half-digested breakfast and lunch. After a couple seconds, he was granted a brief respite, allowing him to catch his breath before continuing on with his bile-heaving.
[9:46 PM] Kwakado: Sula recalled that he had met someone with such talents....and he was currently vomitting profusely in front of him. Sula stepped back as the puddle of bile creeped towards his naked toes, but extended an arm to keep close.
[9:49 PM] crab slambopoulis: "What the fuck is going on here?"
[9:49 PM] crab slambopoulis: Kaija wanders in, attracted by the noise
[9:50 PM] Kwakado: "Kwemo, Saushatu!" Sula waves across the hall at the other Apothecary he'd come across here. "This man had something rotten..some Tonic..!"
[9:54 PM] ColdToiletSeat: This profuse vomitting had also come to it's inevitable close and thus Kalenzo was able to respond, or more like, pray to whatever Gods above that would listen.
"Augh, DearGodsabove, haugh, pleaseforgiveme, makeitstop." He huffed, taking a few steps away from the puddle of his own vomit.
[9:55 PM] Kwakado: "I think he is dying, ma'am! Please hurry!" Sula gets his mount out of the way, moving to the side of the once-clean carpet. He searches through the saddlebags for some kind of medicine, wishing he hadn't left so much of his belongings at his room.
[10:02 PM] ColdToiletSeat: "I'll, haugh, be fine... just get me out of here..." Kalenzo practically begged, stumbling over and grabbing onto the shirt of the magical flier in order to bring himself close.(edited)
[10:13 PM] Kwakado: Sula recoiled slightly from the sick man, staring at his pale complexion and placing a firm hand onto his grip. "C-careful, Khlin-i, this robe--" Sula let go. A commoner wouldn't understand, anyway, and even then it wasn't worth risking his life. "--gods, alright." Sula leaned in, bringing his other arm around the addled apothecary to keep him steady. "Sula..is here."
[10:14 PM] crab slambopoulis: "Uh.. what's his symptoms?"
[10:16 PM] Kwakado: Sula motions at the puddle of vomit in the middle of the hall, carefully leading Kalenzo further from it and towards the little doctor.
[10:16 PM] crab slambopoulis: "Well, that's gross. When did this start?"
[10:17 PM] ColdToiletSeat: "...Right after the battle had ended, I don't know how, but it did." He answered, wrapping his arm around the flier as they trudged forward.
[10:17 PM] Kwakado: "He was Kwemo during the battle..." His raised pitch indicated that foreign word was positive. "Kalen-zi, did you breathe in that purple mist..? It does evil things..."(edited)
[10:20 PM] crab slambopoulis: "Yeah. I would recommend not breathing suspicious shit"
[10:22 PM] ColdToiletSeat: "I didn't, or at least I tried not to." He huffed once more, looking down at the ground, feeling his face get paler by the second.
[10:23 PM] crab slambopoulis: "Not very well, clearly."
[10:23 PM] crab slambopoulis: "Let me see what I can do"
[10:23 PM] Kwakado: "It could be the Tonic..." Sula propped Kalenzo up higher, squeezing into his chest with his forearm, and looked to Kaija.
[10:25 PM] crab slambopoulis: "Whatever it is he needs something to get stabilized"
[10:25 PM] crab slambopoulis: She pulls one of the bags from her belt
[10:27 PM] crab slambopoulis: "Do you trust me, creepy dude?"
[10:29 PM] Kwakado: Which "creepy dude" does she mean? "...this one does!" Sula kneels to the floor, helping Kalenzo down to the girl's height.(edited)
[10:29 PM] crab slambopoulis: "Not you, Sula, the creepy dude"
[10:31 PM] ColdToiletSeat: "Well, you're my best chance for getting through this, aside from just walking to the infirmary myself." He retorted, his stare drifting between the two of them, the entirety of his skin taking on a pinkish tinge.
"I'm not quite fond of taking chanc-" Kalenzo managed to add before his eyes rolled back into his head and he went limp in Sula's arm.
[10:32 PM] crab slambopoulis: "Well, that's reassuring."
[10:32 PM] crab slambopoulis: She sits cross-legged on the ground and pours out some herbs, starting to grind them up
[10:35 PM] Kwakado: "You can stabilize him, yes?" Sula keeps Kalenzo steady, throwing a scolding palm towards Shimi as she considers wandering off.
[10:36 PM] crab slambopoulis: "I think so. I don't need any extra pressure, though."
[10:37 PM] Kwakado: "Right..forgive me." The Dwabi brings a hand to his neck, confirming a pulse, then sits beside him.
[10:37 PM] crab slambopoulis: She adds a couple more herbs to the mixture, then hands the ground up bowl to Sula
[10:37 PM] crab slambopoulis: "Get him to eat this"
[10:40 PM] Kwakado: Sula nods, accepting the bowl. "Shimi-e!" The pegasus approches, staying clear of the puddle, and her rider fishes around in her bags for some ginger or soy to no avail. "Ba-ba..." He sighs, and begins feeding Kalenzo with more force than finesse.
[10:44 PM] crab slambopoulis: Kaija watches closely
[10:47 PM] Kwakado: Once most of the mixture is in Kalenzo's mouth, Sula puts one hand to a greenish tome at his side, and brings the other one to his face.
"Ommm...."
With closed eyes, his fingers coil in, drawing the air from the artist's nostrils, and his mouth instinctively takes in the herbs. Sula pulls his hand away. "..There."
[10:48 PM] crab slambopoulis: "Well, let's hope that worked. I'd rather not be responsible for the death of someone on our side"
[10:50 PM] Kwakado: "Kwemo, ma'am...Uu, forgive me, but what is your name?"
[10:52 PM] crab slambopoulis: "...Kaija"
[10:52 PM] crab slambopoulis: "I thought you knew"
[10:54 PM] Kwakado: He gives a sheepish look. "I was...very sick when we met. You saved my foal...and now this man, too."
[10:54 PM] crab slambopoulis: "Yeah, no problem'
[10:56 PM] Kwakado: Sula hoists up the unconscious Apothecary, lifting him to the saddle and retrieving a rope to secure him. "Then, I will remember to tell him to thank Kai-ja, when he is healed."
[10:57 PM] crab slambopoulis: "Sure thing. Hope he recovers fast."
[10:58 PM] Kwakado: Sula climbs slowly up onto Shimi, waving to her as he prepares to ride. "Kwemo, Kai-ja! This land is blessed with your power!"(edited)
[10:59 PM] crab slambopoulis: "Yeah, yeah, sure. See you, Sula."
[10:59 PM] Kwakado: And with that, they set off around a side passage, flying over wood piles and around corners.
[11:16 PM] Spooky Mika: A shock of pink catches his eye over a wood pile.
[11:18 PM] Kwakado: "!!!! Vivi-a!" Before Shimi's hooves can even touch the ground, Sula leaps off, running over the splintered planks to her.
[11:21 PM] Spooky Mika: It's not good, heavy axe wounds litter her small body, some still bleeding. Her pink hair is tangled and matted with blood as she weakly turns her head to him. "..sula.."(edited)
[11:26 PM] Kwakado: "N-no, I---I am here, Vivi-e," He looks over to see Shimi still running past them down the hall, with all of his bandages in her bags. Sula reaches his left hand across his robe, withdraws a thin black throwing knife, and slices at the seam of his golden sleeve. "I won't let you die here..!" Sula shakes the fancy fabric off of his shoulder, and hastily starts wrapping it around the worst of the wounds.
[11:28 PM] Spooky Mika: She wishes she could feel her arms still...if only to reassure him. "i was trying to reach all of you...guess...i was a little too weak.."
[11:32 PM] Kwakado: "No, Vivi-e, you are here. You are strong." Tying the ends of the sleeve tight around her, he leans in for an encouraging kiss. "Be weak later, h-ha..."
[11:37 PM] Spooky Mika: She turns. "i couldn't kiss you, all you'd taste is blood.." She confusives, letting out bloody coughs. "im glad you came for me. i was scared i would be alone."
[11:40 PM] Kwakado: Shrugging, Sula just kisses her cheek. "Never...." Pulling back, he takes a closer look at her wounds, trying (and failing) not to show his distress. "W-we're safe now, they are all gone."
[11:41 PM] Spooky Mika: "hold me sula-e please."
[11:45 PM] Kwakado: He embraces her fiercely, like it's the last time he'll ever get the chance to. Visions of the past quake through him, of too many moments like this. "You can't leave me...please...Not today..."(edited)
[11:54 PM] Spooky Mika: She finally forces an arm to rise up lightly touch his cheek. "i won't..i said i would never leave you."
[11:59 PM] Kwakado: Her touch jolts him back to the present. "..ha..You promised, yes..." Meanwhile, Shimi comes galloping back, with an incapacitated Kalenzo strapped to her still.
[12:02 AM] Spooky Mika: she gives him a smiles before she goes limp.
[12:05 AM] Kwakado: "Vivi--" His words fall flat along with her. The question will have to wait. He lifts her tenderly, taking her to the saddle and tying her up with Kalenzo.
[12:06 AM] Kwakado: "Forgive me, Shimi-e...just go slow. No flying." He mounts his shrieking steed, adding the weight of a third person to her back, and urges her to start riding out of the North Ward.
[12:11 AM] Kwakado: "Two patients! Coming through! Two patients! Coming through!" Sula rides steadily through the narrow hallways, whisper-yelling to the people. The strange sight is effective at clearing the way, and before long Vivianna and Kalenzo are deposited safely into hospital beds.
[12:13 AM] Kwakado: After flying up to their room to gather some things, Sula leads Shimi all the way back to the stables, tends to his splintered feet, then returns to her bedside.(edited)
[12:14 AM] Spooky Mika: Vivianna awakes slowly, letting out a hiss as the pain overcomes her. She looks around confused.."...where?"
[12:17 AM] Kwakado: "Hospital. Do not worry..." He brings the corners of his mouth up just a hair.
[12:19 AM] Spooky Mika: "sula?" Seeing him calms her and she looks at their connected hands. "i got hurt real bad, didn't i."
[12:20 AM] Kwakado: "It will heal soon..." He looks around at the considerable amount of empty beds around them. "The healers are not so busy, this time."(edited)
[12:21 AM] Kwakado: He reaches under the bed, lifting a wooden flask. The scent of tea steams out of it as he opens it. "For your voice, sweetheart."
[12:24 AM] Spooky Mika: She smiles. "you shouldn't have...peach as well, my favorite." She tries to sit up but collapse back due to the pain. "thank you love."
[12:27 AM] Kwakado: "Take it slow...here." Sula props her up, bringing the tea to her hands. "It will help with the pain..these are Dwabi plants, with the peach."(edited)
[12:34 AM] Spooky Mika: "I..." She takes it. "My husband takes such good care of me." She takes a few sips.
[12:36 AM] Kwakado: "Vivi-e...!" He gives an embarrased smile while he helps her drink. "That is in the future. Today, I am just your...hmm..What do you call it?"(edited)
[12:39 AM] Spooky Mika: "My boyfriend." She laughs lightly
[12:39 AM] Kwakado: Sula chuckles. "Now that sounds even funnier..!"
[12:43 AM] Spooky Mika: "Hmm you are my fiance."
[12:45 AM] Kwakado: "...that was it!" Sula's eyes flash, recognizing the term from idle political chatter back in Intetsu. Times like these made him wish he was familiar with more kingdom marriages besides the Stormblades. "...but you can call me whatever you want, Vivian-ne..."
[12:47 AM] Spooky Mika: She giggles finishing as much tea as she could before laying back down. "Will you stay till I fall asleep?"
[12:52 AM] Kwakado: Sula takes the flask from her, sipping a little himself. "Yes, love..." He unfolds a blanket from their room, laying it over her, then starts to softly sing:(edited)
[12:56 AM] Kwakado: Vivi-eee, Sula-ba-ba-e, Vivi-eeeeee~
[1:03 AM] Spooky Mika: She hums along letting sleep claim her, her hand never leaves from his.
[1:08 AM] Kwakado: ===END RP===
