One bloody introduction | [action]

[The first thing he noticed was that the ceiling had suddenly changed. This would normally be an odd thing to take note of, especially right off the bat. However, this was decidedly not a normal circumstance as one, he was in the process of falling over backwards, and two, massive blood loss is enough to make anyone’s thought process a bit off-kilter. The second thing he noticed was that the fall seemed to be taking an unusually long amount of time, but impacting with something that he was surprised to note was decidedly not the floor cut that thought short.

As he lies there more than slightly dazed, he faintly appreciates the fact that the not-floor seems to be fairly warm.]

Duke
[ Duke grunts as sudden weight hits him. Warm, cloth, hair and - wet. Blood? Smells like -

Anyone paying attention to the journals might find a suspicious bloody stain in a page corner. ]

Lobby. Require aid - Healing Circle [ That.. bloody stain might have some other less identifiable body fluids mixed in. ]

((OOC:

radiantwingedone suggested that we combine our entries so that it flows better storywise. So yes, the second half was in fact written by Duke.))

[Normally Yuri ignored the journal as humanly as possible because, well, it's a book. But he heard a familiar voice and he blinked, looking at it...wait, blood? That's not good]

Duke what kind of trouble are you getting into now?

[He gets up though, and heads for the lobby as fast as he can]

Not mine, someone elses. [ This is him casting healing again.

He's a little flattened under someone else, Yuri. ]

[It was rather nice of the not-floor to heal him. Who was it talking to though?

Oh. Vision going on the edges. Bad sign.]

...I think I'm going to pass out.

If I didn't know any better, I think you like having this kind of fun without me. I'm hurt.

[Yeah well...you can be flattened a bit more for now until he finds you. A few minutes later yep, there's the white blob covered in an orange one ~~hey that guy looks familiar I want his cape~~]

Wow he doesn't look to good. Need some help getting him off?

Don't.. [ Passing out is a bad thing, Duke thinks, given how sticky he's feeling.

Turning toward Yuri's voice. ]

Uncertain of damage, smells beyond what I can heal, do not know if moving is an option - [ Have another Healing Circle, Dhaos. ]

[The not-floor - a person, his mind finally supplies - sounds rather serious.] ...I will try not to.

[For a moment he simply lays there, attempting to follow instructions. How strange, Dhaos muses. Had those all those years simply been a long and terrible nightmare, and he'd been home all along? Perhaps he had just had a terrible accident? But then...who are these people?]

[He frowns at Duke and tries to figure out how to do this]

Smells? Yeah that's a bit disgusting, Duke. Come on, once I get him off you might want to help me get this guy to the clinic. [He lifts him off as best as he can, damn this guy its heavy]

..... [ What would you rather him say? Taste? Feel? Sure, Yuri, he patted the guy and found his fingers in innards. ]

May be for best. Perhaps... [ He can Stop Flow, if it's really needed, but it's a tiring spell. Have another Healing Circle, and works on pulling himself out from under male.

Although now that he thinks of it. . . . ]

... Visible damage is?

[Dhaos coughs violently. It sounds very wet and has somewhat of a gurgle to it. The following series of coughs spatter flecks of blood about the immediate vicinity and cause more to run down his chin. He seems even less aware of his surroundings than he was before.]

Duke, what's wrong? Are you hurt? [She's going to assume yes, since he is casting Healing Circle. And she's just going to cut to the chase.] Where are you?

Not I. [ Quietly, another healing spell because there's still hot liquid spilling on him and.. he's really going to clean his clothes. ]

Lobby.

I can no longer feel my extremities. ...And are those dancing lobsters really there, or am I hallucinating?

...I'll be right there. [She's practically running from the clinic. Dancing lobsters, really? When she gets to the clinic, she realizes he's not hallucinating but still bleeding. She grabs him and pulls him off of Duke, lying him down flat on the floor. It's then when she realizes that she feels mana from him. But that's not important right now.]

You're not hallucinating. Don't move, I'm going to heal you.

[He follows her instructions. But really, the lobsters are actually there? He's not sure whether this is better or worse than mere hallucinations. ...No, it's definitely worse. That means that whether he was home or not, something was horribly, horribly wrong with the world.]

[Martel steps back and casts on him as quickly as she can, hoping to slow the bleeding and stop him from passing out.] Revitalize!

[ Duke doesn't bother moving after the weight of the man was off him, because he's focusing on another spell, having registered that he'd smelled stomach fluids. ]

... Stop Flow. [ He's targeting Dhaos to be frozen, so it should help, right? ]

[That actually does help, as she casts Revitalize again and then goes to check on him, kneeling next to him.] Still with us? [The bleeding has slowed considerably.]

[She receives a sort of affirmative grunt in response. It felt like he could breath much more easily too, so the damage to his lung and diaphragm should be mostly healed. Now if only his stomach weren't in two pieces...]

... Can cast again, if needed. [ He.. can't really tell if it is. ]

[She's noticing that now, too. Stomach wounds are tricky. She's casting Healing Circle on him, because she's not sure if she has enough for another Revitalize. Hopefully that's good enough to move him.] We have to get him to the clinic. Healing magic can only do so much.

[He's really struggling to keep conscious now. Some of his lower left ribs were shattered, but that's probably a bit less important than leaking intestinal fluid, and he just can't seem to muster the energy to speak anyhow. This green haired woman though. She seems...almost familiar somehow...]

... perhaps best if do so to get him there. [ Duke pushes himself up to a sit and.. Ew. He's.. really.. sticky. ]

.... Stop Flow.

[Martel drags as much mana from the atmosphere as she can, and casts Revitalize on him once more, trying to heal up his stomach so they can move him.] If I support you, do you think you can walk?

[Unfortunately, he can't hear you anymore since he finally passed out. It looks like that last Revitalize has his stomach back in one piece more or less so he'd probably be fine if you had Duke give him a piggy back or carry him princess style.]

......? [ Duke's really bad at this part, but carefully trying to find Dhaos' face and...

.. well, he's still breathing? ]

... Do not know how to speed along production of blood, perhaps best if... [ Should he try getting up now, or in a moment, holding onto the unconscious person? ]

[She's an angel, with angelic strength, but she's pretty sure Duke has this handled.] If you want to carry him, you can, but I can do it as well.

.... Debatable, if I should. Pros, already a mess. Uncertain of strength. Cons, stop flow is slow to cast, if wish to keep certain he does not progress toward worse would not be best. Somewhat straining, carrying after periods of casting. Stop Flow is somewhat taxing. [ It's a quick succession of mumbled thought process, as he carefully feels for where the damage was on the unconscious man.

And his attention goes to Martel as he half pulls the man against him. ]

Perhaps best if you do. Can cast stop flow, catch part of the way up, repeat. Prevent his personal time from matching pace of ours, slow any bleeding that is left.

Okay. [She slides over, sliding an arm under his shoulders and supporting his back with his head on her shoulders and she lifts him up easily. He's a bit tall for this, but it's the only way.]

[ Duke listens to the sounds of movement and.. yeah, that sounds like she's got him easily enough.

And he's never really tried to... spam Stop Flow, but it's not going to stop him from trying.

Although the closer to the clinic, the more asleep on his feet he may seem. Even with carefully regathering up all the magic he'd just expended in the spell, it was straining. ]

Only cast if you have the strength, Duke. I don't need you passing out on me too. [She can't carry him too.]

... Recover quickly.... [ He's not going to deny being rather tired by this. ]

...All right. Then let's get him to the clinic. [Martel is determined.]

Hmn. [ Agreeing noise.

But the spells are definitely slowing down quite a bit by the time they get there. . ]

This is Dr. Beckett. I'm on my way, Duke.

[There's a rummaging as he gathers some stuff together.]

Give me a breif run-down of what's wrong?

Blood. Large amounts. [ Really dryly said. Carson, he can't see to tell you. And he's hoping the clarity of his commentary might make it clear that it's not his, but Duke takes a pause to mutter about Healing Circle again. ]

Smell similar to ejected stomach contents.

...Stomach was probably cut in half. So that's probably- [He's cut off by a cough which dissolves into a wet sort of gurgle. Terror grips him for a moment as he realizes that he cannot breath.]

Bloody-

[There's a more frantic grabbing of stuff.]

I'll be there in a few minutes.

[And then there's a slam of a door.

...And you just proved yourself wrong, Duke. That description was very helpful.]

Cease attempting to talk. [ He doesn't shove the man, but turned his head toward - hair. Okay. Well, he's talking to you.

and if that was true - that the injury was through stomach, and had to be somewhat close to lungs, because breathing had turned bubbly, the next spell takes a bit longer to cast. ]

Stop Flow [ Carson may arrive to find Dhaos inverted colors, before returning to normal coloration and inability to breathe while Duke continues to spam Healing Circle. ]

[Which is the scene Carson does indeed run into as he jogs into the lobby.

He frowns, but moves to go get a better look.]

Bloody hell...

[There's no reaction to Duke using Healing Circle. Martel works in the clinic, after all.]

He'll need some major surgery... I don't know if... [He doesn't know if he can move him up to the clinic or not.]
