So even my blood now is trying destroy my mind? Wonderful news.

[ sometimes you are just vain, man ............ also yeah there is a totally an eye under there.

the green does start to come out, it's not permanent. can you fucking imagine. he does sort of laugh at being called safe, because. sure. why not. ]

Certain about that?

[satisficing]

[He really fucking jumps in the shoulders when this eye just appears out of the damn hair. He looks up into the mirror at himself like 🧍‍♂️. Maybe he can alter the medbay pod to get rid of all these fucking eyes on Lucien!!! Suck the whole Somnoven right out!

As best he can, he tries to go around the eye while scrubbing. He pulls the hair gently through his fingers to try squeezing as much of the green out as he can.]

I'm trying my best here. At least meet me half way. Whatever spacial anomaly occurred to you all, it was only that. It was messing with you, and it knew how. You're back and that's what matters.

Look on the bright side: the puke green is coming out of your hair.

[tombtaker]

[ listen if something as simple healing could eject them they’d be long gone. not even death dissuaded them. but hey, bright side is they’re offering non-monetary payment for completing this job …

he does actually laugh at that, glancing up and pulling a face. ]

There is that. Not my color.

[satisficing]

You do seem more like a purple sort of person, yeah.

[He draws his hands away so he can hobble to get another towel besides the bloody one.] After you heal a little from the medbay bed, you can come back and actually wash your hair with shampoo. The rest of it should come out. [Dropping the towel on top of Lucien's head without handing it over.]

I think I got all of the metal out, but you might want to check after to make sure.

[tombtaker]

Alright.

[ he kind of misses the head massage that was happening, it was nice. the towel looks very silly hanging on his horns, but he just rubs it in to try and dry off a bit before lifting it off his face. ]

I'm back. You're real. I'm real. Right?

[satisficing]

[While Lucien laments the vanished massage and dries off, he retrieves his crutch before coming back.]

Right.

[He reaches up to give the not hurt side of Lucien's face a familiar pat. He tries not to smirk, but he's failing.]

Well, you still look pretty good for someone who looks like shit at least.

[tombtaker]

[ his nose crinkles when he’s pat, plastering on a face of objection to this treatment, but he can’t stop the smirk either. ]

Incorrigible flirt.

[satisficing]

[He gives a confused little shrug with his hand.]

Me? I just figured it would be something you'd want to hear.

[LUCIEN IS SO VAIN.]

[tombtaker]

[ lucien (bleeding, insane, bad dye job, delusional: ]

Sure, sure.

[satisficing]

[DON'T SHOOT MEEEE

Lucien is a fucking train wreck.]

Ready for the medbay yet? I can check to see who is still inside.

[tombtaker]

[ i can't believe i was fucking right I hate it here ]

Fine. Go first.

[ rude ... ]

[satisficing]

[🥺🥺

LUCIEN IS TAKING THE AGGRESSION OUT ON VIKTOR. He goes first because he offered.

He picks up Lucien's jacket also because he is always thinking of Lucien since he is so vain 🥺...]

Keep up.

[This is a shitty joke because he is already slow because his leg is bad. To the medbay.]

[tombtaker]

[ he’ll follow along, making a huff like he is struggling to keep up to play along with the joke. just two guys walking down the hallway after spending a long time in the bathroom together because theyre not gay]

Always rushing me .:.

[satisficing]

[He really shoots an exasperate look back at the huffing and puffing. DON'T MAKE FUN OF HIM, HE MIGHT BE DEAD LATER.

He slows down as he gets to the medbay so he can sidle up and open the door for only him, peering in. People would just think he was coming in if they are in there. BUT LO, PC powers that be say it is empty.]

All clear actually. Come on.

[tombtaker]

[ he will continue to tease him to the grave and beyond, there is no escape from it. it's cute if he thinks death is enough to stop this.

ruining any objective of stealth anyway by just leaning in to peer in the door next to him. also this is how I find out viktor is taller than lucien. I'm terrified. anyway he'll slide in after him, going over to peer suspiciously at the pod. ]

Don't trust these things.

[satisficing]

[points at eyes points at you YOU go fuck yourself

also hilariously, they are probably the same height which is so fucking funny but i goofed not thinking the 5'8" was arcane official IT'S FINE they continue to be the same person regardless DON'T JUST LEAN IN YOU ANNOYING SHITHEAD]

I looked over them while I spoke with Io. They're fine.

[YOU HAVE NINE EYEBALLS ON YOUR BODY AND YOU DRAW THE LINE AT HEALING PODS? He puts the jacket down so he can open one of the pods.]

Just lie inside. Are you claustrophobic at all?

[tombtaker]

[ GO BACK TO BEING A DEADZO ]

You spoke with Io, then?

[ yeah the eyeballs were natural medicine. that's different. lucien looks the pod up and down and then shoots viktor a slightly distrusting look before he goes to sit on the edge of it. not climbing all the way in yet. ]

I wasn't until I started thinking about it.

[satisficing]

[NOOOOO]

Yes, for a while. They said the pods can give you new limbs at the cost of the company. Artificial ones. They speed up the healing process, too.

[Leaning on the crutch and looking BACK.]

What, you want me to get in there with you, or something? It has a big glass. I'll stay right here in the room.

[tombtaker]

I kept up with all of my appendages, thank you kindly.

[ now viktor's long-term commitment shark boyfriend on the other hand. there's a guy who can't keep up with his limbs. ]

Plenty of room, plenty of room ...

[ there really isn't. he's grinning the grin of Menace so obviously he can't be like he's going to die anymore. he'll actually lay down at this point, pulling his tail in before he close the door on himself. ]

[satisficing]

[STOP

He's going to pulverize this dude with the crutch. He'll wait until Lucien shuts the door before locking him in the leaving him stranded alone in the room (no).

For a moment, he leans over the top of it to peer down at Lucien through the glass. Please don't use this time to also have some kind of mental break. Then he will move to start it up. Since SOMEONE didn't lose any appendages, he's hoping it shouldn't take too long for healing.

Gives him time to tinker around in the medbay.]

[tombtaker]

[ he's fine he's microdosing those mental breaks and has to save some lunacy energy for tomorrow, APPARENTLY. he's almost wide-eyed at first, peering back. under the smeared and watery remains of blood, he's got freckles, and one old, thin silvery scar across the cheek.

and then he pulls a face, because despite all the dark moods and occasional threats, lucien is mostly kind of a dorkass. if he somehow had amnesia and a bit less trauma he'd probably be a pretty sweet guy with a stubborn streak like a spoiled mule.

he fully expects him to leave to be honest, and is a bit surprised when he doesn't, pretty much dozing off for at least half-an-hour. he'll start fiddling with the lid at about 45 minutes and is basically clawing to get out at an hour. ]

[satisficing]

[heh...

NOT THE FACE. Stop ladling out the Molly parts. Anyway, hate that it unfortunately made Viktor screw his face up in amusement.

He does stay to fiddle with the other pod, though! Of course a dying man would be terribly interested in how a high-tech medical bed works.

When Lucien starts acting like an insulted pet wanting to be let back in, how dare you leave it in HERE for a second longer than necessary, Viktor wanders over again. He props the crutch on the other pod so he can use both hands to get the lid up.]

Have a nice nap?

[This implies he kept looking inside at Lucien.]

[tombtaker]

[ let him out of the crate NOW he HATES the vet how could you do this to him]

Just resting my eyes.

[ he was very clearly asleep there is no point to lying about this. sitting up, running his hands through his hair and pulling it around to tie it back up. it’s more of a faded dark green sheen over the purple which is still terrible but maybe less jorkerfied. an hour in the machine has sealed everything over, scabbed and raw but not fresh and bleeding anymore. it’s fine. he’s gently touching it to test how it feels. ]

Stupid. Why my own bloody face … ?

[satisficing]

[Hope the crusty Jorger green comes out.

Viktor is inspecting him like a nurse, and he is neither a nurse nor a doctor. There is this wild awe in his expression, unbelieving astonishment. Probably ridiculous for someone like Lucien maybe who knows what the hell a healer class is.

He reaches out without even thinking about the fact Lucien could chomp him to feel over the healed marks on Lucien's face.]

That's... so incredible. Something like this...

[OOOOOOOO, he LOVES these medbay pods, HELLO. Well, he loves the idea of them, how they work.]

Let me see your back.

[tombtaker]

[ it’s definitely ridiculous but he’s had a nap so it’s frankly just kind of cute. like sure a beginner cleric could probably do this but viktor is so excited about it. magic IS cool.

the touch barrier has long been broken at this point, he just leans his head into the hand, shooting him a crooked smirk. ]

Basic enough healing magic. This much even I could do.

[ he’ll shift, going cross-legged where he’s sitting on the medpod ans turning around to face away from him. its the same on the back - scabbed, but sealed, skin knit back together. ]
