W6: Friday

[9mon]

[He still has the majority of his injuries from his Thursday adventure, so it only makes sense to go back in and reapply new and fresh bandages in the medbay.]

[countermeasures]

[good plan, kumon!


jiuqing is doing the same thing with her injuries. she's got her hair tied up in a messy bun, and she's got bandages... basically all over. a bunch of bruising, too - mottled bruises peeking out from under her bandages and continuing on her skin. it's not great.

she looks up from the bandages when kumon enters.]

...Kumon? Did you need help with your wounds?

[9mon]

Yeah, a little. Do you?

[She looks worse off than him. His bigger injuries seem to be a huge bite wound to his arm, his pinky missing, and a section of his hand gone. There's a wound to his hip too, but it seems much smaller.]

[countermeasures]

I'm alright... I'm just about done.

[she finishes tying off some bandages around her head, then looks over at him.]

I'll be a little slower than usual, but I can still help you.

[9mon]

[He shuffles over and takes a seat.]

There's no rush.

[countermeasures]

[she nods, and heads over with the bandages and supplies to get his unwrapped, cleaned up, and wrapped again.]

...how are you holding up?

[9mon]

Okay, all things considered.

[Between the CYOA and the deaths he's doing not great.]

[countermeasures]

...

[ :( kumon...]

Would talking about it help at all...?

[9mon]

I'm just... exhausted.

[His friend is dead and so is an elf. :(]

[countermeasures]

This is all... a lot. It's more than any of us should ever have had to deal with.

[especially kumon! seriously, who the fuck is responsible for this poor boy being stuck here. jiuqing wants to have words with them.]

[9mon]

Yeah.... But we gotta deal with it now that we're here.

[countermeasures]

[she nods]

...you're pretty strong, Kumon.

[9mon]

[Thinks about all the times he fainted......]

Umm... I dunno about that. I just figure I gotta keep going.

[countermeasures]

[every time he fainted, he got back up...!]

I've known people who wouldn't. So the fact that you do, even though it's hard - that's admirable.

[9mon]

[He really doesn't know what to do with a compliment like that.]

... Thank you, Doctor Su. I think everybody here is admirable though. For managing to go through all of this and trying to get home, even when the Residents said it was impossible.

[countermeasures]

...we're all pretty tough. And we're all much stronger together.

[she finishes with one of his bandages. on to the next.]

[9mon]

No matter what, we're not alone.

[ And he thinks that really does help a lot.

There's another bandage on his arm that's a bit hard to get to. ]

[countermeasures]

...right. We just need to keep remembering that.

[time to very carefully try to get to that bandage on his arm! is it one from his cyoa return or something else i just woke up and i'm so stupid]

[9mon]

[ Wouldn't you like to know.

I'm kidding, all of his bandages are from Thursday. ]

It's the same as on stage. As long as you have other people to rely on and trust it's less scary.

[countermeasures]

[(cries)

anyway she will work on that bandage next]

Yes... that's true. [...] I'm glad you have people like that, Kumon.

[9mon]

You do too.

[We're all in whatever this is together.]

[countermeasures]

...

[she nods]

We'll make it through this.

[9mon]

Yeah. We will.

[There's no real other option, is there? They have to figure it out. They have to get home.]

[countermeasures]

[



and then his boyfriend died two days later this really didn't age well]
