[ in his free time, he's taken to visiting the sim room—though this time it looks like someone has had the same thought? so he'll run into viktor. not literally.
and so—surprise! emotion/everything share time. gimme. ]
The feeling of Viktor comes before he does. The slow swell of physical ache and mental exhaustion, of a fatigue that only comes from being ill. He looks the same sort of hollow-eyed tired as usual, but he acts and walks as if none of these feelings will drop him to the floor at any given moment.
There's reprieve in the simulation room. A way to pretend. So he's here for the hundredth time, only running into someone else.]
Guess it doesn't matter exactly because Viktor is sitting in the lounge before his body turns to dust from standing all day. He's leaned on the crutch in front of him, mumbling under his breath.]
[ he's going to catch viktor somewhere that he won't be zooming around. metaphorically zooming. wherever he's sitting around and hanging out on the ship. ]
Good morning, Viktor! Could I have a word with you?
[You forcing him to be immobile because you're calling him a cripple (no). He can be chilling in the Rec Room....... Chill is putting it strongly because he's probably trying to fiddle with every fucking thing.
[ WELL ANYWAY AFTER THAT SERIOUS CONVERSATION THEY'RE IN LOVE NOW ]
Viktor!
[ wherever he is this time, he'll bring him some lilies. they're supermarket lilies and probably have some needless little filler flowers because of it but they're still perfectly nice lilies. ] These are for you.
[ they were in love for two days if he calls him 'sir' it will be kind of weird. anyway, while viktor is ignoring dion, he can find sidon in the sim room.
he's just chilling though, not quite having activated the space, apparently just thinking. the bandages that viktor so graciously attempted to apply are gone now, but the stump of his arm has closed over, unpleasantly fresh in its healing but not dangerous. he's also got his duffel bag. ]
Oh, Viktor! [ gives a wave with his... arm. the good arm. ] Are you all right? I'm sorry I didn't find you yesterday.
[ BECAUSE THEY WERE BOTH CURSED AGAIN IMMEDIATELY ]
[ he's getting out of the ice water at this horrible beach after a quick swim, which is all he can manage without becoming a fish popsicle AGAIN!!!!! why is no part of this ship accessible for sharks.
he'll catch up with viktor once he dredges himself back up onto shore, bioluminiscent stripes and spots glowing down his sides. ]
—Viktor! [ he's sneepy but he wakes himself up a bit. ] I see you all actually have a beach? Almost an upgrade...
He is looking very CONCERNED at Sidon comes wandering out of the ocean. HE IS ALSO DISTRACTED MOMENTARILY BY THE BIOLUMINESCENT STRIPES AND SPOTS, BUT SHUT UP.]
You should be careful swimming out in it... This place is... strange--can be strange. The organic parts...
[HE IS WORRIED ABOUT THE OCEAN TRYING TO ASSIMILATE SIDON.]
[Down in the cavern, Sidon's curiosity gets him caught by a rift.
The cavern warps. It loses its blue bioluminescence, replaced instead with glowing purple and slippery fungi blooming from closer down a tunnel where light is breaking through the dark. The way is rocky and precarious, and at the mouth of the entrance, the connecting room yawns wide and open. Inside is a foot-deep stream encircling an island of sandbar and a large stone. From above, light penetrates a hole and casts a beam down below.
A toy boat bobbles from side to side near the sandbar, but nothing is around except a hearty echo and, on the far rocky wall, a single door.]
[ at least he's probably hit one of these already today so he doesn't think this is another cyoa. he practically slides right down into the water with a quiet splash, disoriented by the sudden change in scenery. ]
Where now...?
[ first off, he's going to pick up the toy boat from where it rocks and bobbles, since he probably disrupted it with a splash. ]
[ME SITTING HERE TRYING TO REMEMBER THE DATES HOW IS IT ONLY THE END OF WEEK THREE???????
Anyhow, Sheba is probably unconsciously resting. Viktor forced him to put Sheba in a high pod so Luke won't see her, idk. He stayed at the pods with Sidon, though, both to hide from wild ass Luke and to keep watch.]
Are you alright? [don't turn this question around on him] He didn't try to hold it open longer than necessary, did he?
This is not the first time this has happened actually. Just casually dropping his tools and things as he is promptly lifted up. WHY IS SIDON SO HUGE AND STRONG??
He manages a breathy laugh and does the usual of CLINGING ON FOR DEAR LIFE. Just feels like nuzzling Sidon for some reason HATE THIS WEEK.]
[ i'm starting this because i hate you but tell me the state viktor is in if he waits for him at the scrap yard. or wherever he pops up. sidon will just be pacing about restlessly as the last revive hour winds down, deeply agitated. ]
HELLO AGAIN!! He looks way better (sorta) than he did before. He is still skinny, and he is unfortunately naked. There is nothing attractive about this scrawny nerd while nude. He has his hand back! And the other arm isn't broken. Still has screws, a purple hand, a purple leg, and the healed runes he carved into his flesh, though...]
[why was our last thread the rejection i hate it out here now molly is fucking nodd in lucien's body
ANYHOW, they are now at the bar because we got TWO as new locations. They can go to the nerd bar... the drinks are probably fun. This makes him think of Baiken.]
Having a drink...?
[THE GREASY STAINS I FORGOT. Unfortunately, he has a lot of them. All the ones from the cyoa, but also the purple hand (the worst thing to be greasy) and right leg, the runes, his back.]
[ gay drama never stops......!! they went to hang out after execution and it was fun/depressing, it's fine.
sidon is doing his best to actually wear a cloak today, but the rusted stains show when he moves and against the fabric, mostly around his upper body. it isn't as bad as viktor though, who is just. an absolute mess. ]
Oh, I shouldn't.
[ despite being Rambunctious, he's responsible and not usually the type to get turnt. still, he's curious as he looks around at all the beaker drinks and whatnot. ]
I usually don't partake, but these look so... different!
[ in four hours he's back in pile of scrap, and he just kind of lays there for a minute, staring into the abyss as he recalibrates to being... alive. at least he's basically always naked anyway.
he sits up suddenly though, looking around with a very disturbed fin flutter, enough that even his gills are sort of twitchy. hi. ]
[ i'm assigning some of these pools and slides as cleaned with salt and not chlorine. how incredibly unpleasant would that be for someone who breathes water.
anyway, if he seems to be struggling with his revival at all, it isn't apparent. he waves him down. ]
He has changed from his dressed down state, but mostly because he has had to give up the brace. The laced vest helps; tightening it on the sides provides the support the lack of brace left behind. And none of the irritation to the damaged screw on his spine.
He stops by Sidon. There's no crutch. Instead, there is a mechanical looking staff about his height, the prongs at the top having captured something inside of it. It pulses, occasionally twisting and turning in place. The glow of it mimics the same energy zipping through the iridescent slivers in his purple hand.]

Viktor is probably in the rec room because he found out there many brain playgrounds there.
He looks utterly shocked at Sidon just busting up with flowers. The fact I said lilies because they are a symbol of death and I am mean hehe.]
