im sorry for being cat racist this is the healing arc

Comments

W0, monday

[recession]

[ Hello ma'am. Daan is in the cabin, where he's just putting together something on the table. It appears to be a medical kit of some sort, and he's putting in more strips of cloth in there.

He has a blanket over his shoulder but he can only cover up so much with one especially when the text has an awful tendency to bleed through his clothes. Guess that'd be too easy because he is covered from neck down entirely otherwise.

You might be able to glean a bit of whisping text that reads things like ALWAYS WATCHING, YELLOW EYES, POCKETCAT on what little space is visible, coming and going like they're stray thoughts. Though otherwise, he does seem preoccupied a bit with his current task. ]

[nyas]

[ probably doesn't help when a gold-eyed cat is watching this all happen from nearby, perched on one of the beds (you don't sleep here, what are you doing) with tail swishing low. she wrinkles her nose a little before she finally makes herself known, loudly, despite the quiet creep she did moments earlier. ]

No affinity to healing magic?

[recession]

[ Probably not, but it's funny regardless. He jumps a little -- oh, lord. He'd been doing his best to ignore that being-watched feeling, because sometimes you spend a little too long ignoring it and end up accidentally ignoring something real. ]

-- Ah. Miss Izutsumi...

[ When did you get in here. He stops his busywork and pulls the blanket a little tighter around himself. ]

Pardon?

W1, monday

[recession]

[ Thank god for clothes!! Oh my god!! Although Daan is kind of perusing them with a slight furrow of his brows. Apparently, he's actually rather picky about what he wears because he keeps looking at things, feeling the fabric, looking at the tag, and then putting it back. ]

...Interesting collection...

[ Less interesting and more derogatory suddenly as he is now looking at a certain infamous H*NTAI shirt. Puts that back without another word. ]

[nyas]

[ watches this all happen, because she sure isn't browsing and looking for stuff herself. she's fine with what she has forever.

though she's staring at the INFAMOUS H*NTAI SHIRT? IS THIS THE ONE YUUL TOOK A HQ PHOTO OF? even when dead yuul continues to haunt me. ]

What are you even looking for? The weather is pretty normal. [ so it ain't as if it's winter clothes. ]

[recession]

[ Yeah Yuul put this shirt here personally.

...He looks around behind him at her. ]

Just looking for something nice. Some of these fabrics feel pretty cheap and choppy... it's not going to last long.

WEEK 2, MONDAY.

[nyas]

[ just suddenly trying to peek over his shoulder "he is much taller" yeah well she'll climb his back if she has to. ]

What are you doing?

[recession]

[ AGH

He tenses up immediately when she just goblins onto his back. ]

Agh -- please! Miss Izutsumi!

[ You do him a frighten by doing this every single time! It's funny and great though because he's been kind of consistently dead inside otherwise because everyone approaches him with relative respect. He's here with a glass of swamp water, trying to look into it apparently. He huffs a bit, reorienting himself. ]

The swamp, it's changed a bit.

[nyas]

[ yeah she doesn't do that respective shit, she does whatever she wants and pleases and he isn't chasing her off given he's reorienting so she stays right here, staring at the swamp. ]

What did you do to it?

[ just blames him. ]

WEEK 4, MONDAY.

[nyas]

[ TRAIL TIME? it's still day time here i do not perceive irl time, though weirdly izutsumi has a blanket wrapped around herself as she looks around. though ears perk when she spots daan and comes trailing over, hello. ]

Here to check out the path?

[ and then cat bodily presses into his side hello. she is visibly shivering. ]

[recession]

[ TRAIL TIME... when he's just suddenly snuggled up to he kind of lets out an unexpected surprise bark noise. He's foregone being embarrassed since half the game is doing that today but he's still a little bit embarrassed. ]

Yes, but -- you seem cold, Miss Izutsumi.

[nyas]

Been freaken cold for hours now, helps to have body heat from someone else.

[ which is literally her default sleep mood so in a way it's funny but ] Somebody must've thought it funny to curse me again.

WEEK 4, THURSDAY PRE-CURFEW.

[nyas]

[ YOUR CYOA!!!! anyways throws this up at work I REMEMBERED

she will come up wherever he is licking his wounds. izutsumi kinda just (lightly) tossing one of her blankets over the back of him. ]

[recession]

[ Me seeing my placeholder text that's like this is the healing arc is taking me out. It wasn't in my plans but it works narratively shakes your hand and frees us. But frees you from work first.

He has been bandaged since then... wao... he still looks like shit but he does kind of stop and stare at her when he notices familiar yellow eyes.

There's a strange thought here that almost sounds delightfully curious.

Oh? ]

...

Thanks.

[nyas]

[ THE HEALING ARC TO MURDER PIPELINE. shakes your paws it's the best way imaginable but also thank you for freeing and I'll still get to our other threads but

meantime, she just watches him. the acknowledgment, the thought, it almost seems to be passed over as she raises a hand to lightly scratch at one of her own ears with a glance off. ]

You should've healed up. Everyone is going to be annoying fretting and worrying over you.

[ ignoring the thanks in true cat fashion. ]

WEEK 5, MONDAY.

[nyas]

[ stalking him not so secretly but very obviously ]

[recession]

[ He's cleaning his apartment room a bit with the door held open by the doorstopper so he's just in there. Looking at her looking at him from the doorway... her little peek... ]

... You can come in if you want to, although it's not exactly the most outright welcoming interior.

[ I'm on mobile but the general gist is old style, kinda old rich room vibe with a few details that make it ever so slightly off-kilter and creepy, like a spot of blood on the wall, caution tape in the back, black walls with a strange star and moon outline. ]

[nyas]

[ a lil peek... when she notices she has been spotted, she does almost slink away but he calls out to her so.

okay, she'll step in, looking around at first with a slow flick of her tail. ]

They said the rooms are designed after what the person likes.

[ .........ARE YOU OKAY...... staring at the spot of blood just there. though there's some curiosity at the dark walls and star moon outlines. ]

W5, wednesday

[recession]

[ Sighing and loosening the bow from his shmancy outfit post-ballroom that ended up turning into a whole party. Hello Izutsumi. ]

I see someone's made themselves comfortable...

[ Do you want a water or smth. Also the way I just knew that that icon would be exactly what'd come with the `yeah` tag. ]

[nyas]

[ It's an easy yeah icon okay.

but yeah she's here, sitting comfortably on his couch. bige chilling. ]

Making sure you didn't drink too much.

[recession]

I know how to control myself. Don't feel so stressed that I needed to get black out drunk to cope.

[ He probably would have if this was on the living side lmao. He's really doing okay over here. Not fantastic but he's fine, which is more than he was at any point over there. ]

I'm sure there's a remote there somewhere if you wanted to turn on the television.

[ Got one of 'em old box type ones. ]

WEEK 5, THURS POST-CYOA.

[nyas]

[ yippee, still hospital time. gives you the whole ass write-up since Daan is tending to everything but

- Slash to her stomach, looks to be made from a jagged piece of glass.
- Deep clawed gashes down her back, from shoulder to hip. Needs stitches.
- Big chonk flesh missing out of her right calf.
- Broken right shoulder.
- Piece of glass lodged into her left thigh.
- Various small slashes all over.
- Electrical burns on her face, fortunately the damage on her eyes don't seem to be permanent but she is temporary blind yeah. IDK IF HE'LL BE ABLE TO TELL BUT GIVES IT TO YOU ANYWAYS.

me already noting her many bandages, stitches and of course shoulder splint. he has to deal with her furry naked but reality is she doesn't care about being naked furry. while she can't see at the moment, her ears twitch and she seems to be trying to follow his movement while he tends to things. like as if she's afraid he'll just suddenly leave. ]

[recession]

[ You get painkillers Izutsumi sorry if you get kinda hopped up on them but he has to because he wants to stitch the gaping wounds closed. He works swiftly and neatly at least, clearly actually legitimately good at this even with technically barebone tools because it's 1942 where he's from so he doesn't know all your fancy shit. He also doesn't mind her furry naked if Izutsumi doesn't, he could care less about nakedness. My autocorrect wanted that to say furry baked, but I choose to pronounce that the same as naked.

As long as her eyes under the burns aren't injured it's probably fine... ]

Cognisant, Izutsumi?

[ Speaking up after a bit of work, well into having tended to her tummy, back, and legs. The smaller slashes can have bandage. Currently carefully putting ointment on her face after cleaning it up with a cool damp towel. ]

W6, monday

[recession]

[ It. Sure is a Monday-Tuesday. The living goes through so much. ]

Doing alright, Izutsumi?

[ Checking in on her wounds and stuff, how's the progress? ]

[nyas]

[ IT SURE IS, Izutsumi is sitting here like an annoyed stray with her tail lashing everywhere ]

Was until somebody cursed me for hours earlier. Thought the stupid curse would never end!

[ her tummy injury is still bandaged, looks to be healing just fine! the same goes for that bandaged thigh. the bandages at her back though are a bit spotty with blood, she may have pulled at something there oops. ]
